Poof, Nian Bing blew on the firewood, and the bark on the outside of the firewood fell to both sides. The entire firewood completely turned into an octagon with equal sides. The eight cuts just now were just to peel off the bark and make the firewood in front of him.
The firewood becomes a regular shape. Only in this way can the chopped firewood be even.
There is no need to hold firewood with his left hand. Nian Bing is very confident that he can cut wood with one knife. Although gaining weight will affect the flexibility of the body, it will greatly help stability and strength. The chubby flesh on his face moved a little.
, the hatchet in Nian Bing's hand moved again. The hatchet in his hand, like a breeze, swept directly to one of the eight sides of the firewood. A piece of wood was separated from the firewood under the action of the hatchet, and lay quietly in the tree.
Next to the skin.
This time when he was chopping firewood, Nian Bing was very serious. Each cut was carefully calculated. The firewood strands appeared one by one, and they were really even. At least it was difficult to tell the difference with the naked eye.
Judging from how long it takes to make a piece of firewood, Nian Bing usually only needs to swing his knife hundreds of times quickly. However, it took him half a day to make this firewood today.
Cha Ji didn't know when he was standing behind Nian Bing. He didn't say a word. Nian Bing, who was highly concentrated, didn't notice his arrival. All his energy was focused on the firewood in front of him. Every time he struck with a knife,
, all carefully considered.
Chaji smiled with satisfaction. Splitting firewood is not only a good way to exercise strength, but it also exercises knife skills. Maybe ordinary chefs will think that the heavy wood knife is not flexible enough, but it is this kind of clumsiness that is difficult to control.
Pu Chai Dao has the highest requirements from opponents. If you want to practice knife skills with Chai Dao, you need to completely integrate your mind, eyes, and hands. Compared with pure hand training, the skill of splitting silk with Chai Dao is more subtle.
The last knife was swung out, bringing with it a cold light. Applause sounded from behind. Nian Bing wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeves, and looked back at his master, "Teacher, I chopped evenly this time."
"
Chaji nodded and said: "It's not bad. I practiced splitting silk with this hatchet for three full years before I achieved a small success. If you can split silk evenly, it proves that you have reached the Hinayana realm.
"
Nian Bing said happily: "Then I won't have to chop in the future."
Cha Ji's face changed and he said seriously: "You are still far behind. Although the split is fairly even, it is not completely even, and your firewood can be chopped even thinner. Besides, you can see for yourself
How much time did it take? When you can chop a piece of firewood with a diameter of 30 centimeters in three minutes, you will be considered to have completely passed the test."
Nian Bing said dejectedly: "How long will it take to practice? Master, you tell me the principles and methods of cooking every day, but you don't let me actually practice it. When can I start training?"
Chaji smiled slightly and said: "Child, you have to know that laying the foundation is the most important thing. Without a good foundation, if you rush for success, you will never reach the highest level of cooking. Chopping firewood is indeed boring, but
, the training of your hands, eyes, and mind is indeed unachievable by any other method. When you complete the skill of chopping silk with a hatchet, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort when you start other studies." At this point,
He cast his eyes thoughtfully on the hair-like firewood, "The same method of observing firewood can be used to observe cooking materials. Like firewood, any material has its own characteristics and texture."
Nian Bing's heart moved, and he seemed to understand something. In fact, he did not reject the idea of chopping firewood. After three months of chopping firewood, he was surprised to find that his spiritual power was growing at an astonishing rate, and his ability to use magic was amazing.
The control is countless times stronger than before. Ordinary elementary magic can also become gorgeous in his hands. Mental power, magic power and magic control power complement each other. The stronger the mental power, the better and faster it can be absorbed.
With magic elements, you can control the use of magic more skillfully. Who would have thought that simply chopping firewood can bring such great benefits?
Cha Ji looked at Nian Bing, whose eyes were a little dull, and thought to himself, was he too harsh on this disciple? You know, his understanding was much stronger than his own before! Just the method of chopping silk with a hatchet,
It actually took me five years to achieve some success, and it took me ten years to become a chef. Of course, that was also related to the fact that I was learning cooking at the same time, but from a purely intellectual perspective, I was worse than this guy.
More, in fact, I have already been teaching him real cooking skills. The daily narration is to teach him theoretical knowledge, and the daily meals are to exercise his sense of smell and taste, and the hatchet is used to chop silk.
It is the best exercise. When these are completed and then integrated, everything will proceed very quickly.
"Okay, go push the car out from behind the cabin, and we'll set off now."
Nian Bing was stunned and said: "Let's go? Where to go?" Since coming to Peach Blossom Forest, he has never left here, and he has never seen Cha Ji leave.
Cha Ji said: "I haven't been out for a long time. Although the vegetables we eat can be picked from the peach blossom forest, we still have to buy some necessary seasonings and there is not much rice. You have been here for a year, and it is good for you to go out for a walk."
There are benefits.”
"Great, we can finally go out." Although Nian Bing's thoughts are no longer comparable to those of a child, he is only eleven years old after all. He lives a regular life here every day. He is already a little bored and can go out for a walk.
, how could he not be excited? He threw the hatchet aside and ran towards the back of the wooden house in three steps and two steps at a time.
In order not to be disturbed, Chaji built the wooden house in the center of the peach blossom forest. Due to the peach blossom miasma, although the forest was not small, there were no poisonous snakes or beasts, so he didn't even build a fence.
It is not easy for a person with a broken hand to build such a house.
The so-called cart is a simple cart made entirely of wood. Fortunately, the two wheels are still round, so it is not difficult to push. In the past year, although Nian Bing has transformed from a handsome little boy to a
A cute little fat guy, but at the same time, his physical strength is much stronger than before. The supplements are not in vain. In addition, the exercise of chopping and chopping firewood has given him a lot of strength, and he can push the wooden cart a little.
It's not difficult either.
"Master, if you are tired, just sit in the car and I will push you." Nian Bing was excited and couldn't help but show off his strength to Cha Ji who was standing aside.
Cha Ji chuckled and said, "I'm not that old yet, so you'd better save some energy. I'm afraid you'll have to push a lot of things when you come back. Don't complain to me then. We only come out once a year. You
Think about it, how much do we need to buy?"
Nian Bing rolled his eyes and said: "Master! I have been having trouble practicing magic lately, especially fire magic, which seems to be unstable. Once I am too tired, sometimes there will be problems controlling the fire magic in my body.
If you're not afraid that I'll burn everything, it doesn't matter if you buy more."
Cha Ji said angrily: "You brat, are you threatening me?"
"No, how dare I threaten you." Although Nian Bing said this, the smile in his eyes could not hide his true thoughts. Chaji had no way to deal with his magic apprentice, so he snorted,
Said: "Let's talk about it then."
Although no one came to the peach blossom forest, when he usually cut firewood, Cha Ji specially opened a path leading to the outside. Later, after Nian Bing started chopping firewood, the job of opening the path was handed over to him.
It was done deliberately, so it was not difficult for them to leave the peach blossom forest.
When they walked out of the peach blossom forest, the sun was already close to noon. Although the Ice Moon Empire was located in the north of the Yangon continent and the temperature was relatively low, the direct sunlight still brought a slight feeling of heat. Thinking of Bing, there was nothing wrong with him.
There was the Stone of the Ice and Snow Goddess in his arms, but Chaji's health had never been good and he was already out of breath.
"Boy, aren't you tired? Let's take a rest." Cha Ji stopped Nian Bing.
"Oh." Nian Bing pushed the cart under a big tree and helped Cha Ji sit in the shade. "Master, do you want me to cast a little magic on you to ward off the heat?"
