Pfft, Nian Bing blew on the firewood, and the bark on the outside of the firewood fell to both sides, and the whole firewood completely turned into an octagon with sides of equal length. The firewood becomes a regular shape. Only in this way can the split firewood be even.
The left hand does not need to support the firewood. Nian Bing is very confident in cutting the wood with one knife. Although being fat will affect the flexibility of the body, it will be of great help to the stability and strength. The round flesh on his face moved, and the hatchet in Nian Bing's hand moved again. The hatchet in his hand, like a breeze, swept directly towards one of the eight sides of the firewood. A piece of wood thread was separated from the firewood under the action of the hatchet, and lay quietly beside the bark.
This time chopping firewood, Nian Bing was very serious about chopping, each knife was carefully calculated, and the wood shreds appeared one by one, which was really very even, at least it was difficult to distinguish the difference with the naked eye.
A firewood, how long does it take to see, usually, Nian Bing only needs to quickly swing the knife hundreds of times. However, he spent half a day on this firewood today.
Chaji didn't know when he was standing behind Nian Bing, he didn't make a sound, and Nian Bing, who was highly concentrated, didn't notice his coming. He put all his energy on the firewood in front of him, and every knife cut out , have been carefully considered.
Chaji smiled, satisfied. Chopping firewood is not only a good way to exercise strength, but also to practice knife skills. Perhaps ordinary chefs may think that a heavy hatchet is not flexible enough, but it is this kind of clumsy hatchet that is difficult to control, and the opponent has the highest requirements. If you want to practice sword skills with a hatchet, you need to fully unite your heart, eyes, and hands. Compared with pure hand training, the skill of chopping silk with a hatchet is more delicate.
With the last swing of the knife, there was a cold light. Applause sounded from behind, Nian Bing wiped the sweat stains on his head with his sleeves, and looked back at his master, "Teacher, I've done it evenly this time."
Cha Ji nodded, and said: "It's not bad. I practiced the skill of chopping silk with a hatchet, and it took me three years to achieve a small success. You can chop even silk, which proves that you have reached the Hinayana realm. "
Nian Bing said happily: "Then I don't need to chop in the future."
Chaji's complexion changed, and he said seriously: "You are still far behind. Although the chopping is fairly uniform, it is not completely uniform, and your firewood can be chopped even finer. Besides, you can see for yourself. How much time did it take. When you can chop a firewood with a diameter of 30 centimeters within three minutes, you will be considered as a complete passer."
Nian Bing said dejectedly: "How long will it take to practice! Master, you tell me the principles and methods of cooking every day, but you don't let me actually practice it. When will you be able to become a teacher?"
Zha Ji smiled slightly, and said, "Son, you have to know that laying the foundation is the most important thing. If you don't have a good foundation, if you are eager for success, you will never reach the highest level of cooking. Cutting wood is really boring, but , the training of your hands, eyes, and heart is indeed beyond the reach of any other method, and when you complete the work of chopping silk with a hatchet, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort when you carry out other studies." Speaking of this, He cast his eyes on the hair-like firewood with deep eyes, "The method of observing firewood can also be used to observe the materials for cooking. Any material has its own characteristics and texture just like firewood."
Nian Bing's heart moved, and he seemed to understand something. In fact, he didn't reject chopping firewood in his heart. After three months of chopping firewood, he was surprised to find that the growth rate of his spiritual power was amazing. The control is many times stronger than before. Ordinary elementary magic can become gorgeous in his hands. Mental power, magic power, and magic control power complement each other. The stronger the mental power, the better and faster the absorption of magic elements, and the more ingenious control of the use of magic. Who would have thought that the simple act of chopping wood could bring such great benefits
Chaji looked at Nian Bing, who had a dull gaze, and wondered in his heart, was he being too harsh on this disciple? You know, his understanding is much stronger than what he didn't know at the beginning! As for the method of chopping silk with a hatchet, it took me five years to achieve a small degree of success, and it was not until ten years before I became a teacher that I became a master. Of course, it also has something to do with my cooking skills at the same time, but only from the perspective of comprehension Look, I am much worse than this kid. In fact, I have already been teaching him real cooking skills. The daily narration is to teach him theoretical knowledge, and the daily meals are to improve his sense of smell and taste. The exercise of chopping silk with a hatchet is the best exercise. When all these are completed and then merged, everything will be done at a very fast speed.
"Okay, go and push the car behind the cabin, and we'll set off."
Nian Bing was taken aback, and said: "Let's go? Where are you going?" Since coming to Peach Blossom Forest, he has never left here, and he has never seen Cha Ji leave.
Cha Ji said: "I haven't been out for a long time. Although the vegetables we eat can be picked from the peach blossom forest, we still need to buy some necessary seasonings, and there is not much rice left. You have been here for a year, and it is good for you to go out for a walk." There are benefits."
"Great, I can finally go out." Although Nian Bing's thinking is no longer comparable to that of a child, he is only eleven years old after all, and he lives a regular life here every day. He is already a little bored and can go out for a walk , how could he not be excited? Throwing the hatchet aside, he ran to the back of the wooden house in three steps at a time.
In order not to be disturbed, the wooden house Chaji built was in the middle of the entire peach blossom forest. Due to the peach blossom miasma, although the area of the forest is not small, there are no poisonous snakes and beasts, so he didn't even build a fence. For a person with a broken hand tendon, it is not easy to create such a house.
The so-called cart is a simple cart made entirely of wood. Fortunately, the two wheels are fairly round, so it is not too strenuous to push. In the past year, although Nian Bing has changed from a handsome little boy to a cute little fat man, but at the same time his physical strength is much stronger than before. The supplements are not in vain, plus the exercise of chopping and chopping firewood , so that he has a lot of strength, and it is not difficult to push the wooden cart.
"Master, if you are tired, just sit in the car and I will push you." Nian Bing was excited, and couldn't help showing off his strength to Cha Ji who was beside him.
Zha Ji chuckled, and said, "I'm not that old yet, so you should save some effort. I'm afraid you'll have to push a lot of things when you come back. Don't complain to me then. You only come out once a year, you Think about it, how many things do we need to buy?"
Nian Bing rolled his eyes and said, "Master! Recently, I have been practicing magic a little bit, especially the fire magic, which seems unstable. Once I am too tired, sometimes I have problems controlling the fire magic power in my body. If you're not afraid that I'll burn everything, it doesn't matter if you buy more things."
Cha Ji said angrily: "Boy, are you threatening me?"
"No, how dare I threaten you." Although Nian Bing said so, the smile in his eyes could not conceal his true thoughts. Cha Ji had nothing to do with his apprentice who knew magic, so he snorted and said, "Let's talk about it when the time comes."
Although no one came to the Peach Blossom Forest, when chopping firewood, Cha Ji deliberately opened up a small path leading to the outside. Later, after Nian Bing started chopping firewood, the work of opening the path was entrusted to him. It was not difficult to get them out of the peach blossom forest on purpose.
When they walked out of the Peach Blossom Forest, the sun was already close to noon. Although the Ice Moon Empire is located in the north of the Yangon mainland, the temperature is relatively low, but it still brings a little heat under the direct sunlight. Nian Bing thought it was nothing, he had the Ice and Snow Goddess Stone in his arms, but Cha Ji's health had never been good, and he was already a little out of breath at this time.
"Boy, aren't you tired? Let's take a break." Cha Ji called Nian Bing to stop.
"Oh." Nian Bing pushed the cart under a big tree, and supported Cha Ji to sit in the shade, "Master, do you want me to cast a little magic on you to drive away the heat?"
