Look at the black ants, they have a body smaller than a grain of rice, who would have thought that it could lift things many times heavier than itself.Look at the petite plum blossoms, with a faint pink color, it is difficult to attract attention. Who would have thought that it could bloom in the cold winter?
Human beings can pass through the fog because human beings are more solid than the fog.And the magician can pass through the stone, which also shows that the magician is more solid than the stone.

Either the universe has always existed, or it suddenly came into existence out of nothing.Compared with these two theories, I want to believe that the universe was created by God, "However, the so-called philosophical problems are some questions that every generation, and even every person, must ask themselves again and again.

If the human mind was simple enough for us to understand, we would still be too dumb to understand it.

——The speech of the atheist in "The Knight of the Rose", in which he tried to conceal that he was a theist, but he was still exposed and burned to death.

This knife is really amazing!
"I didn't expect that one day I would be able to see the legendary Heavenly Sword!"

The former presiding judge was very excited. He never expected that he would be lucky enough to see the legendary Heavenly Sword today. He really didn't expect Aladdin to know such a legendary skill!
There are many kinds of knives.The most basic shreds, you can practice cutting white radish shreds, first peel and plan into thin layers, stack them into shreds with a thickness of no more than half a centimeter.When using a kitchen knife, the weight should be a little bit, not too light.Practice for 2 hours each time. As for how long the practice will be effective, it depends on each person's understanding.About 0.5-1mm wide, the knife work should be fine.The Wensi Tofu dish is the ultimate expression of knife skills.

The biggest difference between kitchen knives used by chefs is that kitchen knives are directly in contact with food or food ingredients, directly in contact with substances such as acid, alkali, salt, oil, hot water, steam, hot air, etc., and are frequently used directly under high temperature and high humidity conditions. .

Therefore, knife workers have high requirements for kitchen knives.

"Knives will rust if they are not sharpened, and they will fall behind if they don't learn." Many people enter the kitchen industry and become chefs because they "must sharpen their tools first", starting from hard work on knives.

How to do it?

Some people think that with a kitchen knife in hand, one can cut, chop, chop, slice, and scrape as much as possible.In fact, it is not that simple, nor can it be so casual.The operation of the knife is very particular!

The seemingly simple raising and lowering of the knife really requires a lot of work to achieve the flexibility of moving the knife, the weight of the knife falling properly, and a distinct sense of rhythm!
In culinary arts, knife operation is a very delicate manual labor.The labor intensity is high, the operation time is long, and it consumes a lot of physical strength. It requires not only good physical strength, arm strength, wrist strength, and endurance, but also a flexible mind.The knife tool - the knife, is very sharp, if you are not careful, you will cut your fingers.Therefore, the chef must master the basic essentials of knife operation according to the characteristics of knife work:

Station case.According to experienced old chefs, to see how well a chef's knife skills are, you only need to look at his posture to know.It’s right, a chef must first practice “standing skills” while standing on the table.The posture of standing at the table should be that the feet are naturally separated and the center of gravity is stable; the upper body is slightly leaned forward, the chest is slightly straight, and the back cannot be bent; the shoulders should be flat, and one should not be higher than the other; Relax naturally and keep a certain distance from the vegetable pier. The height of the vegetable pier should be easy to operate.Such a correct posture has a harmonious and natural beauty, whether it is self-perceived or in the eyes of others.

fencing.The basic technique of knife-handling is generally to hold the knife with the right hand, pinch the knife band with the thumb and forefinger, and hold the handle of the knife with the strength of the other three fingers, palm and hand. When holding the knife, the wrist is flexible and powerful.Correct operation of the knife can give people a feeling of "the kitchen knife is in hand, and the bamboo is in the chest".

Carry the knife.When operating a knife, one must concentrate on handling the knife, and follow the blade with the mind, so as to achieve "safety first".Mainly use arm strength and wrist strength.The left hand controls the raw material to ensure that the raw material is stable and does not move, and it is easy to drop the knife. "The left hand should hold the material steadily, and the right hand should be accurate in dropping the knife." The two hands cooperate closely and rhythmically, and the movements are accurate, coherent, ingenious, and completed in one go.The superb knife handling skills can show the charm of knife skills, and achieve a high degree of harmony between people and labor, thus producing a strong artistic appeal.

technique.Knife operation emphasizes clean, fast, and neat operation techniques, that is, to develop good operating habits.The knife, vegetable pier and the raw materials and objects around the vegetable pier must be kept clean and tidy, in an orderly manner, and should not be messy or sloppy.

health care.The place where vegetable piers are placed is mostly cement or terrazzo ground, which is usually relatively humid and cool.In order to prevent the lower limbs from getting wet and cold and suffering from varicose veins, it is best to wear protective shoes with pads under the feet when performing knife operations.

When the chef masters the essentials of knife work, he can use the kitchen knife to change the shape of the raw materials as he likes, meeting the technical requirements of knife work: thin slices are like paper, filaments are like threads, uniform in thickness, and consistent in length.

The flakes are like paper, and the filaments are like threads, uniform in thickness and length.When you can meet the requirements of this sentence, you can already be regarded as a first-class knife expert.

However, above this level, there is a more powerful sword skill, that is the legendary Heavenly Sword.

Although Li Gongzhe's knife skills are extremely amazing, they are not the so-called heavenly knives. The heavenly knives are cut to make the ingredients look like they are natural, and it looks like there is no artificial ingredient in them.

What does this mean? It means that your meat slices are in the shape of natural meat slices, rather than being cut by a knife.

That is to say, the structure of the ingredients must not be damaged at all.

This kind of thing seems to be possible only with laser surgery in theory, but Aladdin himself did it with a knife.

Aladdin was sweating profusely, cutting the ingredients bit by bit with the knife at an extremely slow speed.

He peeled off the old skin of the tofu, cut it into shreds little by little, and then blanched it in boiling water to remove the yellow water and beany smell.Then he removed the stalks of a khaki mushroom, washed it, and cut it into thin shreds little by little.Peel the winter bamboo shoots, wash, cook, and cut into thin strips, then rinse the chicken breast with clean water, cook, and cut into thin strips, and then cut the cooked ham into thin strips.

Then he put shredded shiitake mushrooms into a bowl, added about [-]ml of chicken broth, and steamed it in a basket; put the pot on the fire, scooped [-]ml of chicken broth and boiled it, and put shredded shiitake mushrooms, shredded winter bamboo shoots, shredded ham , shredded chicken, and shredded green vegetables, add refined salt and bring to a boil, and add a small piece of white substance to the soup bowl; in addition, take the pot and put it on the fire, scoop in about [-] ml of chicken clear soup, wait for it to boil, and put it in Shredded tofu.

Aladdin finally had time to rest. Cooking this time exhausted his energy a lot. It could even be said that he was as exhausted as if he had been swimming in the sea for a day and a night.

Although his physical fitness surpassed that of ordinary people, he was far from Li Gongzhe's physical strength, so he was a bit overwhelmed.

"It's okay, it's okay, I've persevered." The reason why he only uses the unique skill of Tiandao now is because the consumption of physical strength is too great, and it is destined to be impossible for him to use it continuously.

When the shredded tofu floated on the noodle soup, he scooped it up with a colander.
