Through practicing cutting vegetables before and later cutting meat, Yang Zhenxing has mastered the basic skills of straight knife cutting, push knife cutting and drawing knife cutting.

This summer, under the guidance of my grandfather, I initially mastered the pressing knife, rocking knife, hob, double-knife chop (making velvet or puree, which is the knife technique often used at home to chop stuffing), front knife splitting, and reverse knife technique.

The method of chopping with a knife.

I heard from my grandpa that there are twelve subsequent knife skills that need to be learned and practiced, such as flat knife splitting, pushing knife splitting, and drawing knife splitting.

It can be said that in the next two years, Yang Zhenxing will not have to do anything every morning, just cut things.

Summer passed quickly, and several friends officially entered middle school. Liu Jianye also reluctantly said goodbye and left.

In other words, it was He Shangchao's TV set that he said goodbye to.

If it weren't for his grandfather Yang Xingsheng who was holding him down, Liu Jianye would have wanted to sit in front of the TV every second throughout the summer and would hug him to sleep.

"Journey to the West", "Di Renjie's Case", "Kant's First Bodyguard", etc., I was fascinated by it, and I sang "carrot arms, white carrot legs" all day long.

Especially when I heard Li Guoqing's brothers say that there might soon be a replay of "Shanghai Beach" that was a hit in the streets last year, I almost cried because he wouldn't be able to watch it as soon as he left.

Liu Jianye left in tears, and Yang Yuting at home also officially went to primary school.

For a time, during the whole day, except for the morning when grandpa was practicing knife skills, Yang Zhenxing was the only one left at home the rest of the time.

After a few days of being slightly uncomfortable, he may have remembered the days when he first moved back to the yard, and soon he got used to this kind of life again.

I get up early every morning, recite the textbooks, do stretching exercises, and after breakfast I take a brush dipped in water to write a few words on the floor tiles in the yard, and then I start practicing my knife skills when my grandfather comes back from selling vegetables.

At noon, after dinner with his sister, grandpa and grandson, who came back from school, his grandpa left home and continued to go out to make money. Yang Zhenxing listened to radio stories in the yard and practiced calligraphy. When it was almost time to go to school, he called his sister up and asked her to talk to her classmates.

After going to school, he continued to copy and recite the recipes his grandfather gave him at home.

Waiting until midnight in the evening, I would still go to Grandpa He to study, and do my homework with Fei Xi, who was already in middle school.

It is worth mentioning that compared to him, his sister Yang Yuting obviously has a good relationship with classmates.

He and the little girls in the alley could usually play together, and nothing bad happened like when he was in school, which made Yang Zhenxing feel at ease.

Maybe this has something to do with He Xiuxian, the little girls who are close to each other usually play together behind each other.

It turns out that he has already finished reading those books. According to Grandpa’s opinion, there are no other books to read now. The most common ones in the house are only recipes.

So I started asking Yang Zhenxing to recite a lot of recipes. After all, it’s useless if you don’t know how to cook.

However, it was a bit painful for Yang Zhenxing to recite it.

Because these recipes are full of vague records such as "a little salt" and "a little soy sauce", there is no accurate value for how much to use.

Even if there are some that are slightly better and say ‘one spoonful’ or ‘several spoonfuls’, they are just better.

I don’t know exactly how big this spoon is, but at least it has a certain amount, so I can slowly explore it in practice later.

A little, an appropriate amount, etc. It is estimated that even if you cook and experiment by yourself, it will take a lot of effort to figure out the dosage of these spices.

According to Yang Xingsheng's original estimate, he thought it would take at least a year or two for his grandson to practice knife skills.

But little did he know that it was not even the end of the year, and the year had not ended yet, Yang Zhenxing's knife skills were already basically up to standard.

Although some of the knife skills are still very unfamiliar and the cutting is very slow, the movements are very smooth, slow and slow, and the cuts can be made as required.

For example, the common rolling batch is used to cut round ingredients such as cucumbers into long slices.

The specific operation is to hold the knife with the right hand and lay the blade flat, press the surface of the ingredients with the fingers of the left hand, and insert the knife blade from the bottom of the ingredients. Then move the finger joints of the left hand to roll the ingredients in the direction of the blade, and finally batch the ingredients.

into thin long strips.

This kind of knife technique is considered a relatively advanced and difficult one in basic knife skills.

It is this kind of knife skill that requires a lot of training, but Yang Zhenxing can now master it smoothly without failure. He just needs more practice to improve his proficiency.

And this is just one of the nearly twenty sword techniques that Yang Xingsheng taught Yang Zhenxing. Yang Zhenxing has almost mastered the other sword techniques of almost the same difficulty.

For example, those knife skills that are not very difficult can already achieve the proficiency of basic knife skills such as straight knife cutting.

This made Yang Xingsheng once again pay attention to his grandson's superhuman talent, and he planned to gradually teach him more advanced sword skills after the New Year.

For example, there are various cutting methods with flower knives, as well as methods for deboning whole fish and poultry ingredients.

At the same time, after several days of observation, Yang Xingsheng adjusted the training content of Yang Zhenxing.

Appropriately reduce the skillful knife skills that you have mastered, and increase the more difficult knife skills.

Seeing his grandson growing up rapidly day by day, Yang Xingsheng felt for the first time that there was not enough time.

A change gradually occurred in his heart, and he planned to start planning ahead of schedule for a plan that might have been implemented two years later.

One day, Yang Zhenxing discovered that his grandfather did not go out to sell vegetables early that morning, but waited until after lunch before going out as usual.

I thought it might be a temporary day off, but it turned out to be the same every day.

On the fifth day, he finally couldn't help himself and asked his grandfather before starting to practice knife skills.

"Grandpa, why haven't you gone out to sell vegetables in the morning these past few days? What happened?"

"It's okay, the alley has to be renovated recently and stalls are no longer allowed to be set up in the alley." Yang Xingsheng waved his hand nonchalantly and said to Yang Zhenxing:

"You don't have to worry about this. I already have other plans. Don't you think it's a waste to cut so many ingredients every day? I've found a place and plan to go there to sell lunch at noon, which will allow you to practice with more things.

."

Yang Zhenxing nodded thoughtfully, "Grandpa, is the place you want to go far away? Can you go alone? If not, I will go with you!"

"You just have to study at home honestly. It's not like I have no arms or legs and am too old to walk. It just so happens that you need to increase the amount of vegetables you cut every day and do more practice. I will also let you advance in advance.

Be familiar with how to prepare ingredients for dishes.”

All the ingredients that Yang Zhenxing had cut before practicing his knife skills every day were taken away by his grandfather.

Although I knew in my heart that grandpa would not waste everything and throw it away, I still felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't cope with it mentally.

Now that he knows that the ingredients will not be wasted in the future, but will be made into dishes and sold, Yang Zhenxing seems to be relieved.
