"Pig iron knives are only 25 yuan. WWw.qUAnbEn-xIaosHuo.COm" Teacher Hu said with a smile, but then he thought of another question. "How do you know my surname is Hu?"&1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> "Ah! This!" Just when he was so anxious that he didn't know what to say, he suddenly saw the sign hanging around the teacher's neck and pointed at the sign and said. "It says it above."&1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> "Haha!" He looked at the big three words "Hu Dongliang" written on the sign hanging around his neck and laughed awkwardly. "Don't mention this. There are potatoes here. Start practicing your knife skills and cut shredded potatoes. It's 1 yuan and 5 pounds. You should take a 3 to 5 pounds and cut it first."&1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3>After that, Teacher Hu picked up a bag from the side and weighed 6 kilograms of potatoes for him. "Okay, the total is 34 yuan."&1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3>Wang Wei looked at the rotten potatoes and asked stammeringly: "This... this... 1 yuan and 5?"&1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> "It's okay! It's just knife practice. Anyway, it's useless after you cut it. Use the potatoes to waste!" After saying that, the teacher gave him the potatoes and stretched out his hand. &1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3>Wang Wei glanced at the hand stretched out in front of him and wanted to say something. But after thinking about it, there was no need to offend the teacher on the first day of class just for those few dollars. So he took out 50 yuan and handed it over. "Just buy potatoes for the rest."&1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> "Okay! Okay! You go over there first. There is water. Wash the potatoes and peel them. I'll teach you first." Teacher Hu happily borrowed the money and weighed him 11 pounds. Potato. &1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3>After washing and planing the potatoes, he found an empty spot on the more than 10-meter-long table and placed the knife and potatoes here, waiting for the teacher to come. &1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> "Is it done?" The teacher came over with a bowl of water and a little detergent and asked knowingly. &1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> "It's done!" He responded cooperatively. &1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> "Well, I'll teach you how to sharpen the knife before cutting!" After saying that, he put the water on the table, then took a rag and spread it flat in front of him. He poured a little water on the rag and took another piece. Place the whetstone with the rough side up. Also pour a little water on the whetstone and knife. Then hold the handle of the knife with your right hand and press the blade with your right thumb. Place the blade sideways on the whetstone so that it is almost flat, then press the blade flat with the palm of your left hand and slide the knife up and down on the whetstone while tilting it. Grind it for ten or so times, then use your left hand to pour some more water on it. She said to him while doing it. &1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> "A knife can make a chef do twice the result with half the effort, but the key to whether a knife is good or not depends on the sharpness of the blade. If it is not sharpened well, the knife will be useless. We are chefs and professional Kaifeng It's not like those people who hold a stool on their shoulders and call for shovels and scissors in the streets. Just shovel a few times and it's enough to cut. The knife made like that can only be sharpened at the time and won't last for a long time. It's useless and there's no way to repair it. Remedy."&1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> At this point, he poured a little water on it with his left hand, then turned the knife over, holding the knife with his left hand and pressing the blade with his right hand. &1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> "Remember when sharpening the knife, try to keep it flat and use even force. Try to sharpen the edge as thin as possible. If there is a line between the edge of the knife and the blade, it will not stand vertically at the edge. Look, there are still water chestnuts with horns. Our current sharpening work is to grind down the water chestnuts on the edge of the new knife. After sharpening, you just need to sharpen the knife twice every day before using it. Actually, it’s not too much trouble. It takes time to open a front, and it takes hours and hours. It may take a whole day and it may not be done yet.”&1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3>After finishing speaking, Teacher Hu picked up the knife and pointed the handle at Wang Wei, who had been listening carefully and paying attention to his every move. &1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3>"Grind it first for me to see. Be careful not to grind only one side, but grind both sides evenly."&1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> "Okay!" Wang Wei immediately took the knife excitedly and imitated the teacher's example. He firmly grasped the handle of the knife with his right hand and placed it flat on the whetstone, then pressed it hard with his right hand. He pushed it up and pulled it back again. But he didn't quite understand why he was so excited about sharpening a knife. &1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> "Stop! Stop!" Teacher Hu immediately grabbed the knife that hurt him and said, "Don't be impatient. Don't use force. What you are using is the rough surface of the whetstone. Use strong force to hurt the injury." The blade of the knife, especially the pig iron, is so soft that it will be destroyed if you apply too much force. Sharpen it gently and slowly, and be patient. The key to a rough surface is to grind off the water chestnuts on the belly of the knife, not to sharpen the blade and wait until the water chestnuts are finished grinding. Fine noodles sharpen the edge."&1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3>After that, he pushed Wang Wei aside, poured a little water on the whetstone again, put the knife on it and said to him. &1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> "The purpose of pressing the blade with your left hand is not to press it hard, but to maintain the inclination of the blade to prevent the blade from being unstable and damaging the edge. The left hand does not use force." After that, he stretched out the thumb of his right hand. He came to Wang Wei and said: "The thing that exerts force is that this guy doesn't use any force at all. When you hold the handle of the knife with your right hand, just use 4 fingers to hook the handle and press it with one finger of your thumb. And it counts as one." You have to apply gentle pressure with your fingers. This is a delicate job and you should do it slowly if you can’t rush it.”&1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3>After saying that, he handed the knife to him again. &1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> "Oh!" Wang Wei took the knife humbly and then imitated the teacher's approach and gently pressed his hand on it. But no matter what he did, he felt uncomfortable and lame. &1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> "Don't rush, take your time, you're just here on your first day. You can't learn it in one day. I stayed in the kitchen for more than a year before the master said that my knife sharpening skills were barely passable." Teacher Looking at his appearance, he smiled and said: "Relax your hands as much as possible, don't put pressure on yourself, and think about it a little more. When your mind is free, your hands will naturally relax. In addition, when sharpening a knife, you don't have to push and pull hard. Push and pull with a little force." Don't sharpen it too hard! The key is to push it! And when pushing, you should also pay special attention to the tip of your knife. The tip of the knife is the most important. It is used for cutting vegetables, shredded meat, etc. The tip of the knife is not the belly and heel of the knife. So you must carefully protect that part and don’t grind it off and round it. Otherwise, the knife will be useless no matter how sharp you sharpen it.”&1t;/FonT>&1t;/p >

&1t;FonT size=3>"Yes!" Wang Wei said kindly and then thought in his heart: "Relax! Relax! Try to relax as much as possible!"&1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3> He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths and thought about relaxing. But his hand suddenly started to move involuntarily. He didn't resist that feeling but slowly experienced it because he heard the system's beep! &1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>

&1t;FonT size=3>"Your perception and balance are correcting your movements!"&1t;/FonT>&1t;/p>(Quanben Novel Network www.qUAnbEn-xIaosHuo.com)
