After hearing Ye Chui's words, several chefs from Shenghua Garden began to hesitate. The tofu carving that Ye Chui had just demonstrated was so shocking that they finally understood that the young man in front of them was no ordinary person, and it was definitely not a fluke that he could beat Miao Shengsong.
Gao Yuesheng had told them before that Ye Chui won because of Mr. Han's favoritism, but now they realized that Ye Chui might have won over Miao Shengsong with his real strength.
Previously, they wanted to use the method of round-robin warfare to consume Ye Chui's physical strength and energy, but what about now
This is indeed a round-robin battle, but it is not them fighting Ye Chui in a round-robin battle, but Ye Chui fighting them in a round-robin battle...
So much so that when they heard Ye Chui suggest moving on to the next game as soon as possible, they all began to hesitate.
"Let me do it..." A lawyer in his thirties from Shenghuayuan stood up and said, looking at Ye Chui with a hint of awe, but more of confidence in himself, "I don't believe his knife skills are that good."
Ye Chui looked at the chef who was speaking and compared his information. He remembered that this person's name was Zhang Hao, and he was only a four-star chef. There were three five-star chefs among the nine chefs. Ye Chui originally thought that they would compete with him three times, and the three five-star chefs would appear. However, he did not expect that the third chef to appear was a four-star chef. This was enough to show how powerful the knife skills of this four-star chef were among these chefs. At least he had completely overwhelmed the five-star chef.
Zhang Hao walked up to Ye Chui and said to him with a somewhat difficult expression, "Boss Ye, I am already convinced by your tofu carving skills, but... I still want to challenge your knife skills, but there is a prerequisite I want to mention."
"You don't want me to use this incense-cutting knife, do you?" Ye Chui said with a smile. When it comes to comparing knife skills, the kitchen knife is naturally the most important. A good kitchen knife can directly add to the knife skills. It is also very normal for the other party to raise the issue of the kitchen knife.
Ye Chui turned around and handed the incense stick to Qin Yiyue, then pointed to a row of kitchen knives on the chopping board and said to Zhang Hao: "Although the kitchen knives here are all good, they are ordinary kitchen knives. Master Zhang, you want to compete with me in knife skills. How about we pick kitchen knives from here and compete?"
"Okay... Of course." Zhang Hao nodded quickly, but he didn't expect Ye Chui to agree to the decision to change the kitchen knife so easily. He originally thought that Ye Chui would make things difficult for him.
But Ye Chui is so frank... What does this mean
"The third round will be a competition of knife skills." Han Yuyan still held the tofu sculpture in his hand, and he was completely relieved at this time.
Qin Yiyue put away the incense with a smile on her face, as if she was not worried about Ye Chui at all.
An Xiaoxiao didn't know what was going on, so she asked Han Yuyan in a low voice: "Sister Yuyan, what's going on? Is Master's swordsmanship very powerful?"
"Of course they are amazing." Han Yuyan laughed and pointed to the box of killing knives on the side of the kitchen and said to An Xiaoxiao, "Qin Yiyue's Killing Knife, Senior Brother's Forget Worry and Dong Qian's Duan Liu, these three kitchen knives are all top-grade kitchen knives worth millions. Master got these three kitchen knives from Cleaver Zhang without spending a penny. He won the knives back from Cleaver Zhang with his knife skills."
Han Yuyan paused here and looked at the chefs of Shenghua Garden with a bit of contempt: "Cai Dao Zhang's knife skills are known to be the pinnacle. Even the seven-star chefs are not as good as him, but he was still defeated by the master? Comparing knife skills with the master is just looking for excitement."
Han Yuyan's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for all the chefs from Shenghuayuan in the kitchen to hear.
They couldn't help but be moved.
They also knew that Ye Chui had obtained three top-grade kitchen knives, but they did not know that he had won these top-grade kitchen knives from Kitchen Knife Zhang, or that he had won them with his knife skills...
This gave the chefs of Shenghua Garden the feeling of hitting a wall. Zhang Hao also showed a shocked expression on his face. If he had been confident that he could beat Ye Chui in knife skills, his confidence had dropped to two points now...
Ye Chui walked up to Zhang Hao with a faint smile, and casually picked up a kitchen knife from the pile beside him. He picked it up very casually, and didn't even look at it seriously, as if he had picked it up at random. He weighed it casually in his hand, and asked Zhang Hao with a smile: "You want to compete with me in knife skills, what should we cut?"
Zhang Hao came back to his senses from his surprise, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Let's play... Cut the ice!"
"Cut ice?" Upon hearing this answer, Han Yuyan was stunned first, and turned to ask Qin Yiyue, "What's the meaning of this? The so-called cutting ice doesn't really mean cutting ice cubes, right?"
An Xiaoxiao also looked at Qin Yiyue curiously.
Qin Yiyue nodded solemnly: "This Zhang Hao is very smart... Cutting ice means cutting ice directly. Ice is very hard. To cut ice into thin slices with a kitchen knife, in addition to having extremely strong wrist strength, the speed of the kitchen knife is also extremely required. The knife must be fast and steady, and ice is also very easy to break when cut into thin slices, which also has extremely high requirements for the kitchen knife. This kind of knife skill does not test the thickness of the cut ice, but whether there are no ice patterns on the ice. Of course, it is impossible to have no ice patterns at all. That is perfect ice cutting. I have never heard anyone say that it can be achieved. This Master Zhang will probably show a few ice patterns when cutting ice, but they will be relatively fewer."
Ice patterns are the patterns formed by the breaking of ice surface. The thin ice formed by cutting ice will show more or less fine ice patterns. In the ice cutting competition, the competition is to see how many ice patterns there are on the cut ice.
Han Yuyan and An Xiaoxiao both looked at each other in dismay. An Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "Brother Qin, why do you say that Zhang Hao is very smart?"
"The most important thing for cutting ice is wrist strength, which is closely related to age..." Qin Yiyue pointed at Zhang Hao, "Zhang Hao is strong and sturdy, and his strength is much greater than that of the boss. It is a natural advantage for him to cut ice. It is a great choice for him to compete with the boss in cutting ice."
After hearing Qin Yiyue's words, An Xiaoxiao and Han Yuyan looked at Ye Chui with some concern.
Ye Chui's expression finally changed and he showed a worried look: "Cutting ice is indeed a bit difficult..."
Seeing Ye Chui finally admitting that he couldn't do it, the chefs at Shenghua Garden became proud, but Ye Chui's next words left them speechless again -
"This is indeed too difficult. I can't cut out ice without any ice patterns. With my wrist strength, I estimate that at least one ice pattern will be left behind." Ye Chui said with some emotion while rubbing his wrist.
At least leave an ice pattern
This made the chef of Shenghuayuan angry again: Zhang Hao is very good at cutting ice, but he would leave at least three ice patterns every time, which was already an extremely remarkable result. Ye Chui actually said that he would leave at least one ice pattern
Did he expect himself to be able to cut the ice perfectly without leaving any ice marks
Zhang Hao suddenly felt that he had been violated in some way. He took out a kitchen knife from among the many kitchen knives and said, "Boss Ye, let's start the game."
"Okay, Brother Pan, please go to the cold storage and get two blocks of ice." Ye Chui turned and said to Pan Qingguo.
Pan Qingguo agreed immediately. Although it was a hot day, the refrigerator in the kitchen was still running to store some perishable ingredients. Pan Qingguo called Meng Gang and Huang Yong to move a large block of ice from the refrigerator. This ice was specially made. After all, some dishes require ice, which is a common item in the kitchen.
Ye Cui glanced at Qin Yiyue again.
Qin Yiyue understood, took his killing knife and walked over, wielding the kitchen knife, split the ice into two equal parts.
The sharpness of this killing knife can be seen from this.
Ye Chui made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Hao: "Master Zhang, these two pieces of ice are about the same size. You can choose one first."
"Then I will make a fool of myself first."
Zhang Hao wanted to teach Ye Chu a lesson with his knife skills, so he didn't refuse. He walked over and picked up one of the pieces of ice. He walked to the chopping board next to him, held the ice with one hand and raised the kitchen knife high with the other.
He just prepared for a moment, then chopped down with the kitchen knife. With a whoosh sound, the kitchen knife quickly chopped at the ice, followed by a rather sharp splashing sound.
The kitchen knife chopped down and the ice fell.
The cross-section was incredibly smooth.
It doesn't take exquisite knife skills to split a whole block of ice, but it is definitely not an easy task to cut a thin slice from it.
The other chefs gathered around.
Yin Yuehua even took the first step to carefully pick up the thin ice from the chopping board with both hands and examined it carefully: "Two ice patterns! Xiao Zhang, you did a great job this time, surpassing your previous best result!"
Zhang Hao reached out and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Although he had only chopped once, it seemed to have consumed a lot of his energy. He was very satisfied with the result. "It was a good performance this time. There are only two ice patterns on the thin ice. I wonder how good you are, Boss Ye?"
Everyone looked at Ye Chui.
Ye Chui walked to another ice cube, reached out to touch the cold ice, and waved a kitchen knife with his other hand.
"In my last life, I could cut a piece of thin ice without any ice pattern. I could say that I had already reached the perfect level of ice cutting, but..." Ye Chui thought secretly, "But in this life, my wrist strength has been greatly reduced, and my knife skills have not recovered to the 100% level of my last life. This is my first attempt at cutting ice. I wonder what the result will be?"
Thinking of this, a cold look flashed across Ye Chui's face, and he slashed down with a swift knife... (~^~)
