Chapter 1614 Three Beasts Crossing Together
"Has the president had lunch?"
"I'm sorry to trouble you, President."
"Thank you, President, for giving us this opportunity."
"Will grow up well."
"Long time no see, the president is still as disciplined as ever."
Liao Yue, Kang Hu, Wan Li, and Da Gaogao greeted each other respectfully.
The person at the back is Qin Kaili. She is not here to observe. She is here for another purpose.
"Well, you have to be on time for three meals a day." Yuan Zhou glanced at the people who came, they were all relatively familiar people, and then said: "You guys are welcome too."
"I have an idea, and I need to seek your approval, President." Qin Kaili said.
"Want to record my carvings?" Yuan Zhou looked at the camera Qin Kaili was holding and reacted immediately.
"That's right, just like what you said, President, we want to record the whole process, so that if you don't understand something, you can go back and study it twice more yourself." Qin Kaili said.
Yuanzhou pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay."
"Thank you, President, for your consideration." Qin Kaili and the other five thanked them in unison.
Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then said: "While carving, I will not explain or pause. You are just observing, so you can confirm each other in a low voice."
What this means is that you can discuss in a low voice, so that you can gain greater gains.
Liao Yue, Wan Li, Da Gao Man, and Kang Hu nodded fiercely. Qin Kaili had already set up the camera. As the secretary-general, she is quite versatile. At least she can have fun shooting and recording.
"Well, today I am carving one hundred and eight generals of the Water Margin. The character carving prototypes are my own understanding of the Water Margin." There is a basket next to Yuan Zhou, which contains red and fat water radish. This is the raw material for today's engraving.
The One Hundred and Eight Generals of the Water Margin are very familiar in China, especially the leopard-headed Lin Chong, the timely rain on the Song River, and the traveler Wu Song are well-known.
But in fact, if we think about it carefully, the well-known Water Margin characters in our impression are actually the impressions left on us by the old artists in the TV series.
It would be difficult to construct a complete character without these old artists, let alone 108 characters of different shapes.
So from the beginning, Liao Yue and the other five felt the difficulty.
"President, this carving is difficult." Liao Yue said softly.
"It's very difficult. Just think of one hundred and eight faces. It's difficult, let alone the ones that fit the characters." Kang Hu said.
Wan Li said: "I remember that the more authoritative version of Water Margin characters is the "Water Margin Character Genealogy" created by Teacher Dai."
When Yuan Zhou picked up the knife, everyone's discussion stopped. Although they knew that Yuan Zhou's carving tool was just a kitchen knife, seeing it with his own eyes still felt a little different.
After all, in China, there are blades, machetes, and civil and military knives. The one Yuan Zhou is holding is the most commonly used blade.
"Brush, brush, brush," a small voice sounded.
Yuan Zhou used the knife very quickly, and when his eyes were slightly distracted, he felt that there was just a cold light flying in Yuan Zhou's hand.
The blade of the knife made a crisp sound as it sliced the water radish.
The skin of water radish is rose red, but the flesh is white. In terms of shape, it is the most suitable vegetable for carving figures.
The white flesh was slowly exposed, and the outline of the figure was gradually revealed. Yuan Zhou pecked slightly with the tip of his knife and made a few small but skillful strokes.
"The president is really confident in his own strength. Although water radish is suitable for carving portraits, it is really difficult to make it exquisite." Liao Yue said.
Wan Li said: "I have a friend who inherits the art of making clay figurines. They have a saying that the smaller the shape, the better. I think the same applies here. If the material is too small, there won't be much room for improvement."
"It's not that there isn't much room for performance, but it's that it's very difficult to perform. You see, the president's water radish is not particularly big. The face of such a child's palm-sized radish will be even smaller, let alone the eyes and mouth. Then But it's true, shaking your hands can disfigure your face." Kang Hu retorted Wan Li.
The tall man who had been silently participating in the discussion suddenly added: "And the president is holding a kitchen knife.
"
That's right, the kitchen knife makes carving even more difficult.
Of course, even if the difficulty is so high, Liao Yue, Kang Hu, Wan Li, and Da Gaogao have no doubt that Yuan Zhou will fail in carving.
Because the person who carved there was Yuan Zhou, a chef who never made mistakes in the kitchen.
Qin Kaili kept staring at her camera, making sure to record it completely.
The history of using knives in Chinese cooking is very long, so many knife techniques have been derived. From the perspective of holding the knife, there are also flat knives, oblique knives, straight knives, and knives.
If you want to break it down further, the oblique knife can also have techniques such as pushing, batching, and pulling. Taken individually, each technique may not be difficult, but it is difficult to use these techniques skillfully.
There is a saying that "details determine success or failure". Yuanzhou gradually created and formed his own set of knife skills by absorbing the knife skills of several cuisines.
The system named it "Three Beasts Crossing Together". It was said before that Yuan Zhou's knife skills were recognized by the system, which is true.
About a month ago, after Yuan Zhou figured out this sword skill, he suddenly received a system prompt.
"Congratulations to the host for creating the collection-level swordsman "Three Beasts Crossing". Do you agree to enter it into the system?"
Yuanzhou was silent at that time because there were so many flaws and he didn't know where to start.
"So what's the reason for the name Three Beasts Crossing Together? I haven't seen you for so long, little comrade from the system. How come you have become such a middle-class guy?" Yuan Zhou said.
"The cooking knife skills created by the host are unique. The tip of the knife is as flexible as a rabbit, the blade is as stable as an elephant, and the middle is like a galloping horse that can go up and down. Therefore, the name of this system "Three Beasts Crossing" is the best expression of it. The name of the host’s cooking knife technique.”
"Junior student from the system, I'm really not used to you praising me like this all of a sudden." Yuan Zhou said.
After hearing this, the system was silent for a long time before the words appeared: "Does the host agree to the system's entry?"
"We won't tell you the name. What is the collection level? Is there a strict classification for cooking knife skills?" Yuanzhou asked.
Although the system also has junior, intermediate, and advanced chef levels, those are judged based on cooking skills, influence, and mastery of dishes, which is different from this one.
The system displayed words and directly answered Yuan Zhou's doubts: "There is no grading standard for cooking knife skills, but the system will determine based on certain standards whether the knife skills need to be preserved and passed down to future generations."
Yuan Zhou probably understood the vague explanation of the system. Simply put, it was like calligraphy.
Everyone knows how to write with a brush, but Zhang Xu, Yan Zhenqing, and Dong Qichang have their own styles, and they also achieve their own styles with just one stroke.
Therefore, the works of Zhang Xu and Yan Zhenqing are antiques. As mentioned before, the knife skills are just straight knives, flat knives, etc., but how to use them and how much force to use is "Three Beasts Crossing Together".
Yuanzhou asked curiously: "How many collections of knife skills have you included in the system?"
The system now reads: "Six kinds."
"How many types are there? You don't have to tell me all of them. Just tell me one or two of them." Yuan Zhou said.
The system now reads: "Six collections of knife skills created by six historical chefs, two of which are foreign chefs, including "Ding's Jiefeng Knife" and "Shanzu's Forging Knife", all of which were named by the system."
To put it simply, no chef would give a name to the knife skills he uses.
"It's the cook Ding Jie Niu? Isn't that a fable? Is there really a chef named Ding?" Yuanzhou was a little shocked.
The system replied calmly: "Yes."
However, with names like Jie Niu Dao and Fen Forging Dao, I really didn’t expect that the system was a well-hidden naming waste.
In comparison, Yuanzhou felt that his "Three Beasts Crossing Together" was already very good, and he immediately felt no dissatisfaction.
"Can my knife skills be compared with those of Cook Ding and Shan Zu?" Yuan Zhou asked this not because he was not confident, but because these two people are both historical figures, and in the long history of the world, the system only included Six doors.
The system now reads: "The knife craftsmanship created by the host has strong technical skills, which is consistent with the "Ding's Jiefang Knife" and "Shan Zu's Forged Knife". The system considers it to be a collection level. I would like to ask the host if he agrees to the system's inclusion."
"Speaking of which, System Student, you have a very good bottom line. You didn't tell me about this, but you secretly included it yourself. Just like Xiaolongshan Xiangcai last time, I didn't know about it either."
Yuan Zhou said: "But you are willing to say it, so I believe that a system with integrity like yours will not let the host suffer. I agree to your inclusion."
The system now says: "Successfully included, "Three Beasts Crossing Together" is a collection of swordsmanship."
After about three minutes, the system said again: "The host has created a collection of knife skills, and the host is specially rewarded with a collection gift package."
Yuan Zhou showed a satisfied smile. As he thought, the system's integrity was still very high.
I still have the information about the gift package in my mind, and I feel even more satisfied after reading it.
[Name: Collection Gift Pack
Description: It contains a collection of knife skills included in the system. ]
"6666." No matter which one of the six is opened, it is excellent.
The system now reads: "Whether to open the collection gift package."
But Yuanzhou didn't wait to open it. He planned to perfect his knife skills in a month or two and then compare them with the knife skills of famous chefs in history.
Don't think Yuan Zhou is exaggerating. There are two common sayings in the kitchen: "One third of the stove, seven minutes of cooking" and "No dish can be made without a knife." Knife skills are so important to a dish.
Getting back to the subject, Yuan Zhou’s current carving is “Three Beasts Crossing Together”.
With a few picks of the wrist, the blade of the knife accurately divided the lines of the weeping willow branches.
Three beasts cross the river. The first knife path is carefully crafted to peck at the characters' facial features, just like a rabbit floating across the water without reaching the bottom.
With the knife closed once, the second knife path is smooth and fast, and the monk's robe is immediately formed, like a horse, it may be at the bottom, or it may not be at the bottom.
The last stroke of the knife opened and closed as if the image had reached its end, and was extremely steady. Under the third stroke of the knife, the image of Lu Zhishen pulling up a weeping willow appeared in front of the three of them.
This is Lu Zhishen uprooting a weeping willow, that is, Lu Zhishen in action.
Everyone knows that whether it is a statue, making a clay figurine, or even drawing a cartoon, moving figures are more difficult than static figures.
Because in simple terms, you have to consider the layout of the lines. In more advanced terms, you also need to have the charm of the movement so that people can feel the power of the movement.
