Chapter 805 Ice Sculpture

The system now reads: "This draft beer is available in unlimited quantities during business hours."

"Unlimited? No wonder." Yuan Zhou understood now.

"What about the price?" Yuan Zhou continued to ask.

The system displays: "Draft beer 302/cup."

"No, system, your usual prices don't always end in something like eight or six. Why did they change to two this time?" Yuan Zhou noticed this problem as soon as he looked at the price.

However, the system ignored Yuan Zhou's questions.

After watching the beer, Yuan Zhou went directly to the second floor and moved a barrel of wine up. After all, Shen Min couldn't be asked to carry the wine. You must know that this barrel weighed at least sixty kilograms, and the wooden barrel weighed almost seventy. Weight.

As soon as he went upstairs, Yuan Zhou saw an extra row of glasses on the bar. They were all thin at the bottom and thick at the top. They were slender cups. Each cup could hold 600 ml.

"This beer glass is quite good." Yuan Zhou put down the wine barrel and picked up a glass thoughtfully.

The cup Yuan Zhou is holding is not small, but only such a cup can better reflect the taste and foam of the beer, as well as its unique aroma.

But the cup is indeed larger. A cup of 600 ml is more than a large bottle of beer.

"302 a cup, no limit, it seems you need to think about it." Yuan Zhou gently put down the cup and returned to the kitchen.

Pretending to be worried, Yuanzhou did not carve in the morning, but tidied up the first floor of the tavern. Even though the system had already cleaned the dust when giving rewards, Yuanzhou, who is a mysophobic person, still cleaned it up again.

The whole morning passed while Yuan Zhou was cleaning. Lunch time came and ended on time. In the afternoon, Yuan Zhou took out the ice cubes prepared last night and prepared them for carving.

Yes, Yuanzhou is also planning to practice ice carving, after all, this can make his carving skills further.

In order to be able to carve ice sculptures well, Yuanzhou recently watched a lot of videos of ice sculpture masters and wanted to get some inspiration from them.

But there was no enlightenment. Yuanzhou discovered something else.

First of all, most of the videos that Yuan Zhou can find online are from abroad, and the protagonists of these ice sculpture videos are not chefs. There are painters, sculptors, bartenders, and other professions.

There are good and bad carvers, but there are no carvers who can complete the work with a kitchen knife like Yuan Zhou.

That's right, Yuan Zhou has evolved. From a professional carver to a kitchen knife, he is definitely a weirdo in the ice sculpture world.

Closer to home, it’s not that there are no masters of ice sculptures in China. To be precise, the origin of ice sculptures is China. I can't find the video online, but most folk experts like to keep it secret and hide good things.

Anyway, Yuan Zhou remembered very clearly that the old man riding a tricycle told him about a person who could carve an ice dragon.

This old ice dragon is said to have won the Ice City Ice Sculpture Competition twice, but he would rather go hungry than show off his skills.

If you don't know how to do it, you don't know. After practicing hard in the recent period, Yuan Zhou understands how difficult it is to completely carve an ice dragon.

"As a successful person, do you have to keep a trump card? Keep a unique skill." Yuan Zhou muttered to himself, and then gave up the idea.

Don't think about saving unique skills for now. Many good things have been lost because of saving skills.

Yuan Zhou’s idea may be extreme. He believes that “it’s better to have skills buried in the ground than to be left in the streets.” This is an exaggeration because many skills are difficult to promote and are destined to be impossible to promote. But wouldn’t it be bad if there were more people?

"Now this ice sculpture can finally be taken out to see people."

While Yuan Zhou was speaking, his hands had already begun to move. Ice cubes the size of casseroles were brushed and gradually formed under the carving of the kitchen knife.

The technique of ice carving is very different from that of carving vegetables. Carving vegetables pays attention to "fineness, precision and skill" and requires more skill.

However, ice sculptures pay attention to "stability, accuracy, and retraction." Yuanzhou raised the knife in his hand slightly, retracted the force of the knife tip by seven points, and carved out the sharp tiger's eyes.

Vegetables are about cleverness, but ice sculptures are about restraint. Many ice sculptures fail, not because the sculptor is not strong enough.

But the force was too much, too harsh.

If you want to rank ice carvers, the one who can carve a deer is the first level, and the one who can carve the dragon head is the first level. As mentioned before, if you can carve a complete dragon, you can be called a master.

Yuanzhou himself is already proficient in carving radish vegetables. Although the skills are different, the foundation is the same, so after a period of hard practice, his technical level is quite good.

The first ice sculpture was not only seen by Ji Yi, but also several other diners who saw the failed sculpture, so Yuanzhou had been planning to get it back for a long time.

He accurately wrote it down. Excluding Ji Yi and Liu Zhang, there were five diners who saw his first ice sculpture. I won’t tell you who these five were. Anyway, Yuanzhou finally waited until this moment. Five diners arrived at the same time.

Must avenge.

So, Yuanzhou bought a large piece of ice, and he wanted to carve the most difficult image of "Double Dragons Seizing the Pearl" in ice carving.

The difficulty of these two dragons seizing the pearl is not only the technique of carving the dragons, but also the difficulty of seizing the characters. To achieve this, at least the carvings must be lifelike.

Yuanzhou put the ice cubes on the table, picked up the menu and looked at it carefully, looking for the place to cut the knife.

The people watching on the side couldn't help but started discussing.

"Is Boss Yuan planning to carve ice?"

"Seems to be."

"But I'm afraid it won't be successful this time with such big ice."

"No, the carving was small last time. Why did it become a big one this time?"

"No, I remember last time I carved a pond the size of a washbasin, and the fish in it felt just like real ones."

"I wonder what Boss Yuan plans to carve this time."

"It's probably a big deal for something this big." This was said by a man wearing glasses with a serious look on his face.

"nonsense."

This is the reply of those who listened to this man's pretentious answer.

The diners here were noisy, but it didn't affect Yuan Zhou's performance. Yuan Zhou specifically looked back before cutting the knife.

"Very good, everyone is still here." Yuan Zhou nodded secretly in his heart, and then started to strike.

The blade of the menu knife is very sharp. Every time it is swung, it is as if a silver thread cuts through the ice cube. The scratched place breaks immediately, and the cut is neat and smooth, without any knife marks.

"Swish, swish, swish" Yuan Zhou waved the menu, but the ice cubes under his hand slowly came out of their shells. Now he can already see what it looks like.

Another difficulty in ice carving is not only how to cut the ice without breaking it, but also the difficulty of moving quickly, otherwise the time will be over before the carving is finished, which will not look good.

Yuan Zhou's current skills can basically satisfy the two points of being powerful and fast.
