Every ingredient has its own unique shape, and if you want to change it into what you want, it will test a chef's knife skills.
The cucumber itself is long. After Ye Fei cut it with a knife, he pulled the cucumber directly and it became even longer, about two meters long.
This time, the people present were dumbfounded again, because this is not done in Western methods. How long is a cucumber? How can you cut it and it becomes like a spring, which can be pulled? So long
Rhodes grabbed the head of Cucumber, and his whole body was dumbfounded. His hands even trembled, and he almost threw Cucumber to the ground. This thing looked so scary at first glance, like a snake.
"Ye Shen, this."
Ye Fei pulled the cucumber at the other end and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
"Snake, is this a snake?"
"Cucumber, it's not like you didn't look at it just now."
"But why is it now as long as a snake? No, longer than some small snakes."
"This is the uniqueness of Huaxia knife craftsmanship. We are not only able to cut ingredients into simple shapes such as strips and dices, but we can also cut out many unexpected shapes based on our own creativity, just like this plate. The finished red flame blue dragon is like this cucumber that is not broken from beginning to end but can grow longer. Cutting the cucumber into this shape is actually a very unique knife technique. It has a nice name, coir raincoat. Knife skills, and this cucumber is a coir raincoat cucumber, and there is also a saying that it is a snake-skin cucumber."
"Coir raincoat knife technique? Coir raincoat cucumber?"
"Yes, in order to be able to make classic and exquisite delicacies, the ancestors of China not only worked hard on the taste, but also racked their brains on the shape. Sometimes an inconspicuous thing next to them can make a difference. It brought inspiration to them, and thus passed down all kinds of incredible cutting methods. The coir raincoat knife method is just one of them. There are also the orchid knife method, the panlong knife method, the crescent knife method, etc., you can say every one of them. They’re all pretty amazing.”
Having said this, Ye Fei turned to look at Potter, who was already stunned, and said, "Mr. Potter, do you know this? Do you understand? Can you cut a cucumber into several meters?"
Porter: "."
Emma, you think too highly of me. Let alone cutting a few meters long, I can’t even cut out a centimeter. The function of a knife is to cut the ingredients, not to cut the ingredients into longer lengths. I never thought about it.
"I can't." Under everyone's gaze, Potter shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
"Mr. Ye, I apologize for my rudeness just now." This guy is not too stubborn. At this time, he knows that he can no longer go against the young man in front of him, because he is really strong.
Ye Fei just waved his hand and said: "You don't have to apologize to me. You didn't offend me. We didn't understand each other when we first met. It's normal for you to look down on me, but you despise all the chefs in China." Yes, this is your biggest mistake, so if you want to apologize, you should apologize to all the chefs in our Chinese chef community."
"I"
Porter didn't expect Ye Fei to be so serious. He didn't accept his apology at all. Instead, he asked himself to apologize to all the chefs in China. If he did this, he would have to publish an apology statement in the media.
But if I do that, then I will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the entire Western chef world, not to mention being in the Rothschild family.
Because this loss of face is too great.
He deliberately refused to agree, but looking at everyone present, they were not ordinary people, especially the young and old Rothschild patriarchs. Even if he did not apologize in the media, would they let him go
The answer is definitely impossible!
".Can!"
In the end, Potter thought about it for a long time, feeling that he had no way out today, and finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
Of course, Ye Fei could see that Potter was not willing, and he didn't care. He just smiled and said, "Mr. Potter, do you want to learn the coir raincoat sword technique?"
Porter: "."
Ye Fei said this so suddenly that everyone present was stunned.
Do you want to learn the coir raincoat knife technique
Damn it, this is about passing on the rhythm of knife skills!
Not to mention in the chef world, it can be said that the same saying is spread in every industry, that is, a new trick can be eaten everywhere.
As long as you have a unique skill, it is the capital you rely on to survive. No one is willing to spread his unique skill to others. Youdao teaches apprentices to starve the master to death, so in today's society, no matter how famous a person is, in When teaching others, there will be some reservations, consciously or unconsciously, and the rest is left to the disciples to explore. It can be said that this is a good intention, or it can be said that it is an ulterior motive.
Now, in front of so many people, Ye Fei wants to teach this coir raincoat sword technique to Potter, who was challenging him just now. What on earth is this person thinking? Is this person really so broad-minded
Potter was speechless again. Does he want to learn
He wanted to learn so much. As an elite in the chef world, even though he was a Western-style chef, being scratchy at first sight was a common problem for everyone who was constantly pursuing a higher level. Although this guy was a bit crazy, he had to admit that he was good at cooking. Have a heart that is constantly motivated.
But will Ye Fei teach him
"Ye Shen."
Even Rhodes didn't know what to say after he came to his senses. He put down the cucumber in his hand and looked at Ye Fei.
Everyone present looked directly at Ye Fei.
Ye Fei knew what Rhodes and everyone else was thinking, but he still smiled and said: "It's just a knife technique. To be honest, this knife technique is just the most basic knife technique in China. Many chefs know it when they first get started. He can learn this set of sword skills, so there is no secret. Not only can he learn it, but everyone present can learn it."
"What? We can learn too?"
"No way? Can you really teach us this kind of sword technique?"
"Dongfang Ye is so selfless."
"If you learn this knife technique, you can make more varieties of vegetables in our Western cuisine."
The group of chefs behind him were very excited when they heard that Ye Fei could also let them learn from it. Not to mention anything else, the green dragon that Ye Fei had just carved showed that the young man in front of him was definitely an expert in knife skills. It's top-notch. A little sword skill taught by this kind of person is enough to benefit them for life, so how can they not be excited
Even Rhodes was very excited. He also likes to cook some delicious food when he has nothing to do, but most of what he cooks is Western food, and the knife skills of Western food are just like Ye Fei said, it is nothing more than cutting into strips and diced. The tricks are still the same. At most, they are just cut and matched, and there is nothing substantive and attractive.
"Ye Shen, is it true? Can I learn it too?"
At this moment, Rhodes did not have the majesty of a young patriarch of a big family, but kept rubbing his hands in excitement.
"Of course, I just said that everyone here can learn it."
With that said, Ye Fei took out another cucumber from the freezer.
People could tell at a glance that Ye Fei had started teaching. If you were still waiting for someone to call you to watch at this time, it meant that your mind really wasn’t spinning anymore, so people cheered and all gathered around them, including Old Ross and Solova. people.
With their status, it was impossible for them to cook by themselves, but they were curious, especially when they saw Ye Fei cut a short cucumber into about two meters long in the blink of an eye, like magic. Same.
Ye Fei didn't look at the people around him. He put the cucumber on the chopping board, picked up the thick-backed knife with his right hand, and then said: "Everyone has seen how to cut things with the coir raincoat knife. If you cut the ingredients, is it right?" It may form a continuity, so when cutting, we choose the tip of the knife to be in contact with the chopping board, and the back of the knife is slightly raised, so that the ingredients will not break, and everyone takes care of it."
As he spoke, Ye Fei cut lightly, and his hand gently lifted the back of the knife slightly, so that an angle of about 45 degrees was formed between the blade and the chopping board.
Cha~~
There was a crisp sound, and the tip of the knife lightly touched the chopping board. There was still some distance between the back of the knife and the chopping board. Ye Fei directly raised the knife again and said, "Do you see clearly? The blade and the chopping board appear. At a 45-degree angle, don’t use force from behind and relax your wrists.”
Cha~~
Another cut was made, and then Ye Fei started cutting again and again, but this time the speed was slower, so that everyone could see clearly, otherwise the teaching would be meaningless.
After cutting a cucumber from beginning to end in this way, Ye Fei turned the cucumber over so that the cut side was in contact with the chopping board and the uncut side was facing up. He said, "The cutting method on the opposite side is the same as the one just now. There is a slight difference. You should have seen when we were cutting just now that our knife and the ingredients were vertical, which is a ninety-degree angle. This time, although it is also vertical, the knife and the ingredients must be at an angle. That is to say, there is a gesture of about forty-five angles between the blade and the food surface, but the falling of the knife is the same. I will also mention it later, don’t cut to the end, everyone is careful.”
As he spoke, Ye Fei tilted the knife slightly and began to cut it one by one.
The speed was still very slow, but everyone discovered a very scary thing, that is, every time Ye Fei slashed, the distance between it and the previous one was the same. Although they did not measure it, they could get a rough idea with their eyes. It's almost impossible to tell the difference.
Chachacha~~~
After cutting from the tail to the head of the cucumber, Ye Fei put down the knife, then asked Rhodes to hold the head of the cucumber, and asked Porter to hold the tail and pull it forward.
Porter took the tail of the cucumber and walked forward. This time he walked a full three meters away before stopping.
Everyone really didn’t know what to say. Oh my god, you just cut a piece of about two meters, and now it’s more than three meters. Brother, are you sure you cut a cucumber? Is this a gummy candy, or a spring
Ye Fei's hand gently stroked the torn cucumber, shook his head, and said: "If the distance of the knife is smaller, it can be longer. This cucumber should be able to cut to about five meters."
Phew~~~
A bunch of people almost squirted, I'm so fucked, big brother, this is already three meters long, you still think it's too short? Can it cut about five meters? Emma, do you want to scare people to death
"Ye Shen, can I give it a try?" Rhodes said, extremely excited.
Ye Fei smiled and said: "This is your home, do you still need to ask me?"
"Uh~~~"
Rhodes thought it right. He put the cucumber down, quickly took out a cucumber, and started cutting it on the chopping board.
But before his knife could go down, Ye Fei stopped him.
"What's wrong?" Rhodes didn't know why.
Ye Fei said: "You just started practicing, you can actually use tools."
"Ah? With tools? Do we still have tools to practice this kind of swordsmanship here?"
"Of course, this is it."
As he said that, Ye Fei took a pair of chopsticks from the side. Everyone was confused, wondering how this thing could help them practice the coir raincoat knife technique.
Ye Fei placed the cucumber on the chopping board, then placed a pair of chopsticks close to both sides of the cucumber and said, "Cut it. Keep the chopsticks fixed with your left hand when cutting, so as not to let it slip away."
"Eh."
Rhodes responded and started cutting directly.
As soon as Ye Fei saw Rhodes taking out the knife, he knew that this guy was better than the average chef, but he was still a little undercooked. The knife would be pressed down from time to time. Fortunately, there were chopsticks underneath, otherwise the cucumber would be absolutely delicious. To cut off.
Following Ye Fei's instructions, Rhodes finished cutting the cucumber, quickly put down the knife, then picked up the cucumber and pulled it... half a meter long.
Rhodes: "."
I wipe it, so short
