Eat Halberd: The Great Master of China

Chapter 132

On the balcony on the second floor, Cheng Ichiro and Zhao Dong smoked silently.

Neither of them spoke first!

After a long time, Joichiro took the lead in breaking the silence!

“Your hands are special!”

“It’s a hand that really holds a knife!”

Zhao Dong smiled.

Slowly stretch out your palm, under the sunlight, it looks even more white as jade, with slender fingers!

If you show it to others, others will undoubtedly think that this is a pair of hands playing the piano!

The only difference is the calluses hidden in the fingertips and palms of your hands!

“Senior Joichiro, I don’t understand this sentence! Isn’t any chef’s hand always carrying a knife? ”

“Can a chef who has not ever held a knife be considered a real chef?”

Zhao Dong said with a smile.

Seeing that Zhao Dong refused to admit it, Cheng Ichiro also smiled: “That’s why I said that your hands are very special!” ”

“If I’m not mistaken, your hands are good at cutting crossways!”

Zhao Dong asked rhetorically, “How did Senior Joichiro see it?” ”

“Texture!”

“The lines of calluses on your hands!”

Joichiro affirmed, “Most chefs are good at vertical cutting!” Very few chefs will use a diagonal cut! ”

“There are even rarer cross-cuts!”

“Vertical cut, cross cut, bevel cut! No matter which way you cut, using too much will grind out the calluses in your hands! ”

“If you are good at using a person who cuts horizontally, then the calluse pattern on his hand must be horizontal!”

“I’ve seen some chefs who are good at cutting cross, and the calluses on their hands are exactly the same as yours!” Joichiro said with great certainty!

Hearing Cheng Yilang’s words, Zhao Dong was silent!

“Snap….”

Zhao Dong applauded lightly: “It’s really worthy of being one of the top 10 masters of the Yuan Yue, a man who was named Shura!” ”

“With this insight and carefulness alone, he deserves to be called one of Japan’s greatest chefs!”

“Nope!” Joichiro spat out a puff of his cigarette and interrupted slowly.

“People who are good at horizontal knives are truly amazing!”

“Only a true beginner chef will know the horror of cross-cutting!”

“And you, at a young age, can already use cross-cutting skillfully, what an incredible existence!”

Joichiro sighed.

It was not that he deliberately touted Zhao Dong.

Crosscutting is indeed one of the most difficult knife techniques to use.

It has one characteristic, that is, it is difficult to master!

It’s hard to master alone, the key is that cross-cutting is actually pure showmanship!

The horizontal knife is difficult to learn and master, not to mention, but also very inefficient, the biggest advantage is that it can be taken out and loaded 13!

So it’s a dazzling skill in the chef’s knife class!

Unless, you can really master the super difficult technique of zero degree cutting!

Otherwise, the cross-cutting can be said to be really useless!

How hard is zero degree cutting?

Let’s put it this way, let you move your hands sideways in mid-air, no deviation of 1 degree is allowed!

How many people can do this?

Not many people in the world can do it.

Because your hands will shake and move!

And the same is true of zero degree cutting, keeping zero degree motionless from beginning to end!

This is the difficulty of zero cutting among the three major knife methods!

One word, hard!

As a chef, only when you really reach a certain realm and have a certain experience, can you discover what makes others different from these small details!

And Joichiro, there is no doubt that this is such a person!

He has realm and more experience!

With this vision, Zhao Dong sighed in his heart, Xingpingjun was blown up ten streets by his father!

Zhao Dong spoke: “Although the horizontal cut is gorgeous, it is not very practical!” ”

“It’s Kohei-kun, who inherited the shadow of Joichiro’s predecessors, and his strength is really extraordinary! It surprised me too! ”

Hearing Kohei, Joichiro’s eyes also showed a look of pride!

Although his son is still too young, isn’t his extraordinary chef talent slowly revealed!

“Kohei, this kid still needs to continue to work hard! It’s still too far off! ”

Joichiro said slowly.

“Zhao Dongjun, how many degrees have you practiced your cross-cutting now?”

How the cross-cutting knife worker embodies the realm is divided according to the “degree”!

In the process of cross-cutting with the knife, the hand takes zero degrees as the base point, and the degree of up and down fluctuation is a concrete embodiment!

The real zero-degree cut is not moving for a while!

Always kept a straight line!

In general, the hand float is kept within 5 degrees, in order to be called a horizontal knife master!

If it can be controlled within 3 degrees, it can be regarded as a real top knife master!

That’s why Joichiro asked Zhao Dong how much he could control the degree of hand swing during the cross-cutting process!

Zhao Dong said with a smile: “Senior Chengichiro, I have practiced hard for many years, and now I can only stay within 5 degrees!” ”

I don’t know why, Joichiro was actually a little disappointed when he heard Zhao Dong’s words!

However, he still nodded: “Not bad, at your age, you can control it within 5 degrees, if you practice hard, you may not be able to control it within 3 degrees in the future!” ”

As for the zero degree cut, he didn’t dare to say this!

After all, this is really too difficult!

This time, Joichiro came to Tokyo and learned from a friend that a teenager who mastered zero-degree cutting appeared in the Japanese underground cooking world some time ago, so he started the idea of making friends!

But no matter how you inquire, you can’t inquire about that teenager’s information! So you have to stop!

This time I came to see my son in Yuanyue, and suddenly found a teenager who was good at using horizontal knives, and was surprised to guess whether this teenager would be the legendary person!

It’s a pity that Zhao Dong said that he can only control within 5 degrees, which is obviously not the legendary person!

That’s why Joichiro will be a little disappointed!

But disappointed to disappointed, Joichiro will not show it on his face!

In the end, it is my son’s classmate, so I must encourage it a lot!

It’s a pity that Joichiro never dreamed that the boy in front of him was really the boy he wanted to meet!

Cheng Ichiro coughed and said slowly: “Zhao Dongjun, it’s time to eat soon!” Let’s go down first! Come and try my dishes! ”

Zhao Dong nodded with a smile.

“It’s really hard work Ichiro senior!”

“It’s not hard, I’m glad to know you! Hahaha…! Joichiro said with a smile.

Then turn around and go downstairs.

“Hurry up, or the dish should be cold!”

Zhao Dong replied, “Good!” ”
