Chapter 122 - Eating Eagle Monkey Fruit
Peng Bai secretly complained in his heart. Now he only uses ten monkey fruits to practice knife skills every day. Forty ones a day means that the time he will spend on monkey fruits every day will increase by at least four times, that is, at least six hours.
"Okay, now we start the training of food and ejaculation." Old Man Daoyi seemed to like seeing Peng Bai's cripple, and took out a monkey fruit from the bag containing the monkey fruit and threw it to Peng Bai.
"Okay, okay." Peng Bai forgot all his worries when he heard the word "food carving". After all, wasn't he here just to improve his sword skills? In order to learn profound cooking skills and to avenge his father, Peng Bai was not even afraid of death. Are he still afraid of hard work? If he wanted to not work hard, he could be a beggar.
"Grandpa Daoyi, isn't he just using Monkey Fruit to eat elimination?" Peng Bai asked happily with excitement in his eyes.
"Yes, there are many types of food carvings, generally speaking, there are fruit carvings, melon carvings, dough sculptures, sugar art, platters, etc. The most difficult ones are fruit carvings and melon carvings. The most difficult of these two food carvings is melon carvings. Melon carvings can be divided into external carvings and internal carvings. As long as you learn melon carvings, you will naturally learn other carving methods." Old Man Daoyi nodded and explained to Peng Bai.
"I must study hard and practice hard." Peng Bai shouted happily. This was his first step from general to system. As long as he took this step well, Peng Bai believed that relying on his own efforts, he would definitely become the best chef.
"Brother, give that set of things to Peng Bai." Old Man Daoyi looked at Peng Bai's firm and excited appearance, nodded in praise, and then said to the wooden house.
After a while, Old Man Dao Er walked out with a small box about thirty centimeters long, about twenty centimeters wide and only about ten centimeters thick, and then handed it to Old Man Dao Yi with both hands.
"This set is a special tool for food carving. Now I'm giving it to you. If you can satisfy us, it's natural that it doesn't matter. But if you are lazy and cannot meet our requirements, then we will take back this set of tools. Do you understand?" Old Man Daoyi held this small wooden box in his hands and handed it to Peng Bai.
"Yes." Peng Bai replied extremely firmly.
"By the way, two grandpas, don't I already have the food carving knife that my Grandpa Xiao lent to me? Is this unnecessary?" Peng Bai took the small wooden box and suddenly remembered that he already had the tools to perform food carving, so he asked strangely.
"Idiot, what do you think is only one carving knife that can carve out?" Old man Daoyi asked angrily after hearing Peng Bai's words.
"Ah? I see Grandpa Xiao carved a lot of things! There are roses, some ancient characters, dragons, and..." Peng Bai replied.
"Hmph! You know, that's the truth! If you think your skills in eating carving have reached the level of being as good as you want and superb, then you can carve things with a kitchen knife. But with your current ability, you can give you the best carving knife. What you can carve is just a man's word!" Old Man Daoyi obviously heard Peng Bai's first carving history from Old Man Xiao, and in one sentence, Peng Bai blushed like the butt of Liu'er Mihou.
Peng Bai opened the small wooden box, and what caught his eye was a set of knives composed of nine small knives of various shapes.
These include pointed knives (this knife is the main tool in food carving, which is mainly used to carve the outlines and blanks of works); round-mouth knives (this knife is mainly used to carve petals, feathers and holes, etc.); flat-round-mouth knives (this knife is generally used to carve petals and rocks, etc.); groove knives (this knife is used to carve lines and feathers, etc.); oblique shovels (this knife is mainly used to flatten the carving faces and shovels, etc.); mold knives (this knife is mainly used to carve certain small engravings), etc.
The role of special knives for food carving in food carving is obvious. Without handy tools, it is impossible to carve lifelike works. In addition to main knives, most food carving tools are improved by wood carving tools according to the different textures of the raw materials. For example, the commonly used VU groove knives are not one. They can be divided into several according to their width, narrow length and rigidity. Wide cutters, medium engravings, large engravings, and narrow fine engravings. Now there are complete sets of main knives on the street, which can be re-polished according to their needs. They must be suitable for width, narrow, thin and even. You can also design engraving tools suitable for your engraving characteristics based on your own engraving experience.
There is an empty space in this small wooden box. Peng Bai tried to take out the food carving knife that Grandpa Xiao had "lent" him, and put it into the empty groove, and it was exactly the same. It seemed that this knife was one of them.
Seeing all this, Peng Bai finally understood Grandpa Xiao’s intention. He placed the hopes of the three of them on himself, hoping that he could carry forward the food sculpture!
"I will definitely not let down the expectations of my three grandpas." Peng Bai said very affirmatively.
"Stop talking nonsense, what expectations and no expectations, are we still expecting you to become a famous chef? We just don't want this good thing to fall into the hands of bad people. For the time being, you are still a good person. Also, food carvings are carved with hands and knives, not with mouths. You can sit there and do the most basic external carvings now." Old Man Daoyi interrupted Peng Bai's words, and anyone would say nothing. Old Man Daoyi would not care about who said what he said. What he wanted to look at was practical actions.
"External carving is an artistic method that combines painting, carving and knife skills. The main way is to carve the outer skin of the melon, just like painting on paper. What you need to practice below is this kind of thing. If you don't know anything, there is professional art materials in the third wooden box in the house, which may help you." Daoyi continued to explain to Peng Bai.
Then, Lao Ren Dao Yi and Lao Ren Dao Er began to complement each other's theory of food sculpture knowledge tutoring. Peng Bai was confused. Is this kind of speech different from listening to classes in high school? The answer was that there was no difference. Peng Bai could indeed understand what the two old people said at the beginning. After all, the most obvious things were nothing more than how to use the knife, how to master the depth of the knife, and so on, which only requires practice. However, as the two old people gave speeches and talked like crosstalk, Peng Bai began to faint. Just like listening to the heavenly book, Peng Bai looked at the two of them with blank eyes and became more and more excited as they spoke, just like the old people who had never spoken in their lives.
"Well, the weather is good today. Let's talk about the inner carving of the melon carving to the fat man!" Old Man Dao Er looked at the sky. It was definitely a cloudy day. Maybe it would rain in a while. If it was a good weather, then wouldn't it be a lucky day like God's arrival when the typhoon was raining and tornado raging?
However, this buffer also made Peng Bai wake up, at least he was not as confused as before.
After the explanations of the two old men, Peng Bai finally understood what inner carving is. The so-called inner carving is actually the same as the general term for all carving things. The main carving materials include radish, pumpkin, red-heart melon, etc. The most commonly used is pumpkin, because the inside of the pumpkin is yellow and the melon meat is relatively hard, which is a very good carving material. It is the most difficult to carve, or the limit in carving, so it is carved with tofu with very soft texture and very short shelf life.
