Translator: 549690339
“Guild leader, have you had lunch?”

“I’ll have to trouble the president. ”

“Thank you for giving us this opportunity, President.”

“Hello, President.”

“Long time no see. You’re still as disciplined as ever, President.”

Liao Yue, Kang Hu, Wan Li, and the big guy all greeted him respectfully.

At the back was Qin Kaili. She wasn’t here to observe, but for another purpose.

“Yes, you have to be punctual for your three meals a day.” Yuan Zhou glanced at the customers and found that they were all familiar with him. Then, he said,””Nice to meet you guys.”

“I have an idea that I need to seek your approval, President.” Qin Kaili said.

“You want to record my sculpture?” Yuan Zhou looked at the camera in Qin Kelly’s hand and immediately reacted.

…

“That’s right. It’s just as you said, President. We want to record the entire process. That way, if there’s anything we don’t understand, we can go back and study it ourselves.” Qin Kaili said.

Yuan Zhou pondered for a while and then nodded his head,””Sure.”

“Thank you for your understanding, President.” Qin Kaili and the other four thanked him in unison.

Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then said,”I won’t explain or stop when I’m sculpting. You’re just observing. Therefore, you can verify each other in a low voice.”

What he meant was that they could discuss it in a low voice, so that they could gain more.

Liao Yue, Wan Li, the big guy, and Kang Hu nodded their heads vigorously. Qin Kaili had already set up the camera. As the head secretary, she was quite capable. At least, she was good at shooting videos.

“Yes. Today, I’m carving the 100 characters from Water Margin. The prototype of the characters is based on my own understanding of Water Margin.” There was a bamboo basket beside Yuan Zhou, which was filled with red and plump radishes. These were the raw materials for sculpting today.

The 108 generals of Water Margin were well-known in Huaxia, especially the names of leopard head Chong Lin, timely Rain Song Jiang, and Walker Wu Song.

But if you think about it, the well-known characters in Water Margin were actually the old artists in TV dramas.

It was difficult to construct a complete character without these old artists, let alone 108 characters of different forms.

Thus, from the start, Liao Yue and the other four felt the difficulty.

“President, this carving is very difficult.” Liao Yue said in a low voice.

“It’s very difficult. It’s already difficult for you to think of 108 faces, not to mention that you have to match the characters.” Kang Hu said.

“I remember that the one that’s more authoritative on Water Margin characters is” Water Margin character list “that teacher Dai created,” Wan Li said.

When Yuan Zhou picked up the knife, everyone stopped talking. Although they knew that Yuan Zhou’s carving tool was just a vegetable knife, it was still a little different to see it with their own eyes.

After all, in China, there were also knife-slicing, chopping knife, civil knife, and martial knife. The knife in Yuan Zhou’s hand was the most commonly used knife.

“Shua, shua, shua.” Subtle sounds were heard.

Yuan Zhou used the knife very quickly. If one’s eyes were slightly distracted, they would feel that there was only a cold light dancing in Yuan Zhou’s hands.

The blade made a crisp sound as it cut the radish.

The skin of the water radish was Rose Red, but the flesh was white. In terms of shape, it was the most suitable vegetable for carving human figures.

The White flesh of the fruit was slowly revealed, and so was the outline of the human figure. Yuan Zhou pecked it slightly with the tip of the knife and then made several small and ingenious strokes.

“President, you’re really confident in your own strength. Although the water radish is suitable for carving portraits, it’s too difficult to make it exquisite.” Liao Yue said.

Wanli said,”I have a friend who has inherited the craft of making clay figurines. They have a saying that the smaller it is, the more coincidental it will be. I think it is also suitable here. If the material is too small, there will not be much room for development.”

“It’s not that there’s not much room to show off, it’s just that it’s very difficult to show off. Look at president’s water radish, it’s not the particularly big kind. It’s such a palm-sized radish, and if you want to carve a face, it’ll be even smaller, not to mention the eyes and mouth. That’s really … A slight shake of your hand can disfigure you.” Kang Hu retorted.

The big guy, who had been silent all this time, suddenly added,””And the president is holding a vegetable knife.”

That’s right, the vegetable knife made the carving even more difficult.

Of course, even if the difficulty was so high, Liao Yue, Kang Hu, Wan Li and the big guy had no doubt that Yuan Zhou would fail.

Because the person sculpting there was called Yuan Zhou, a chef who had never made a mistake in the kitchen.

Qin Kaili kept her eyes on her camera, wanting to ensure that the entire recording was complete.

The history of using knives in Chinese cuisine was very long, so it had derived many knife skills. From the angle of holding a knife, it was also divided into straight knife, oblique knife, straight knife, chopping knife skills, and so on.

To be more specific, the slanted knife could also have skills such as push, slash, pull, and so on. Each skill alone might not be difficult, but it was very difficult to use these skills skillfully.

There was a saying that “details determine success or failure.” Yuan Zhou had absorbed the knife skills of several cuisines and gradually created his own knife skills.

The system named it “crossing of the three beasts”. It was true that Yuan Zhou’s cutting skill was recognized by the system.

About a month ago, after Yuan Zhou had figured out this knife skill, he suddenly received a system prompt.

“Congratulations to the host for creating the collector’s level knife skill” crossing of the three beasts “. Do you agree to enter it into the system?”

At that time, Yuan Zhou became silent. As there were too many things to complain about, he didn’t know where to start.

“So what’s the situation with the name” three beasts crossing together “? I haven’t seen my little comrade system for so long. How did you become so Chuunibyou?” Yuan Zhou said.

[The knife skill created by the host is unique. The tip of the knife is as flexible as a rabbit, and the blade is as stable as an elephant. The middle part of the knife skill is like a galloping horse. It can go up and down at will. Therefore, the system named “crossing of three beasts” as a name that best reflects the host’s knife skill.]

“System, I’m not used to you suddenly praising me like this.” Yuan Zhou said.

The system was silent for a long time before it displayed,””Does the host agree to enter the system?”

“Let’s not talk about the name, but what are the levels of the collection? could it be that there are strict levels for cooking knife skills?” Yuan Zhou asked.

Although the system also had beginner, intermediate, and advanced chef levels, they were judged according to cooking skills, influence, and mastered dishes, which were different from this.

The system displayed and answered Yuan Zhou’s doubts,””There are no grading standards for cooking knife skills, but the system will judge whether the knife skills need to be collected and passed down to later generations according to certain standards.”

Yuan Zhou could roughly understand the vague explanation of the system. To put it simply, it was like calligraphy.

Everyone knew how to use a brush to write, but Zhang Xu, Yan Zhenqing, and Dong Qichang had their own styles, and they had also established their own styles with a stroke.

Therefore, Zhang Xu and Yan Zhenqing’s works were antiques. As mentioned before, knife skills were just straight knives and straight knives, but how to use them and how much strength to use them was “crossing of the three beasts”.

“System, how many knife skills collections have you collected?” Yuan Zhou asked curiously.

The system displayed,”six types.”

“What are the few types? you don’t have to tell me all of them. Just tell me one or two of them.” Yuan Zhou said.

The system displayed,”six types of collector’s knife skills created by six historical chefs. Two of them are foreign chefs, including” ding’s beef Cleaver “and” chef’s splitting forging knife “. The above are all named by the system.”

To put it simply, no chef would give a name to the knife skills they used.

“A butcher dismembering an ox? Wasn’t that a fable? Is there really a chef with the surname of ding?” Yuan Zhou was a little shocked.

“Yes,” the system replied flatly.

However, he really didn’t expect the system to be so good at naming things like ‘ox Cleaver’ and ‘separately forged knife’.

By contrast, Yuan Zhou felt that his “crossing of the three beasts” was already very good. Instantly, he didn’t have any dissatisfaction.

“Is my knife skill comparable to that of paoding and the chef?” It wasn’t that Yuan Zhou wasn’t confident, but that these two were both famous people in history. Moreover, in the long history of the world, the system had only recorded six of them.

The system displayed,”the cutting technique created by the host is very skillful. It is the same as the ‘ding clan’s ox Cleaver’ and the ‘kitchen ancestor’s split forging knife’. The system thinks that it is at the level of a collection. Does the host agree to include it in the system?”

“Speaking of which, system, you really have a bottom line. You didn’t tell me about this and secretly recorded it yourself. Just like the time when I didn’t know about the coriander at Xiaolong mountain.”

Yuan Zhou said,”but you just have to say it out loud. Therefore, I believe that a system with integrity like you will never let the host suffer a loss. I agree to let you take it in.”

The system said,[collection successful. Knife skill “crossing of three beasts” is a collection.]

After about three minutes, the system spoke again,””The host has created a collector’s knife skill. The host is specially rewarded with a collector’s gift bag.”

Yuan Zhou revealed a satisfied smile. Just as he had thought, the system had a high moral integrity.

He was even more satisfied after reading the description of the big gift bag in his mind.

[Property name: Grand collector’s gift bag]

[Description: it contains a knife skill collector’s collection recorded by the system.]

“6666。”No matter which of the six opened it, it would be excellent.

The system displayed,”do you want to open the Grand collector’s gift bag?”

However, Yuan Zhou didn’t open it immediately. He prepared to perfect his knife skills in a month or two and then compare them with the knife skills of the famous chefs in history.

Don’t think Yuan Zhou was exaggerating. In the kitchen, there were two adages,” 30% stove, 70% dunyuan” and “no dish can be made without a knife”. Knife skills were too important to a dish.

Back to the main topic, Yuan Zhou was currently using the crossing of three beasts to sculpt.

With a few flicks of his wrist, the blade accurately and clearly drew out the lines of the Willow branches.

The three beasts crossed the river. The first knife path was exquisitely carved and specially pecked at the person’s facial features. It was like a rabbit that could not reach the bottom, floating on the water.

He drew back his saber and slashed horizontally. The second slash was swift and smooth, and the monk’s robe immediately took shape, either like a horse or not.

The last strike was very Grand and steady. After three strikes, Lu Zhishen’s image of a Willow hanging upside down appeared in front of the three of them.

This was Lu Zhishen, who was pulling out the Willow upside down, which was also the active Lu Zhishen.

Everyone knew that whether it was a statue, a clay figurine, or even drawing a comic, it was more difficult to have a moving character than when they were still.

To put it simply, one had to consider the lines and layout of the event. To put it more in-depth, one also had to have the spirit of the action, so that people could feel the power of the action.
