Yuan Zhou would practice carving every day. To him, there was no end to his knife skills, just like in many wuxia novels.
It was good now, but it could be even better.
In terms of vertical comparison, Yuan Zhou's knife skills were definitely the best in the world. Therefore, to outsiders, Yuan Zhou's carving might look like he was showing off his skills, but in fact, he had his own breakthroughs.
For example, Yuan Zhou had set a goal for himself yesterday. He wanted to carve Guanyin and Luohan in different positions.
To put it simply, if one looked at it from the front, it would be the Guanyin statue to the left and the Luohan statue to the right. In other words, he had to carve the difference in the details.
For example, when carving the Guanyin statue, he had to take care not to destroy the Luohan statue. After experiencing the flaws the day before, Yuan Zhou had succeeded yesterday. Today, Yuan Zhou had set another goal for himself. He wanted to carve a monkey and a snake on the radish, and he wanted to do it in one go.
His eyes were like torches. When Yuan Zhou was serious, he looked like a great teacher.
"Swish, swish."
The knife in Yuan Zhou's hand was like a butterfly flying through the flowers. The radish gradually took shape.
The first one failed. The monkey's eyes had no spiritual energy. Yuan Zhou was a stubborn person. To him, the lack of spiritual energy meant that his knife skills were not good enough, and he couldn't express the effect he wanted.
After carving three more, he was still not satisfied. After pausing for a while, Yuan Zhou touched his non-existent beard and changed his carving method.
The previous four carvings were done with the monkey, but there were more or less problems. Now, he was going to use the snake.
Coincidentally, when Yuan Zhou was done with his fourth carving and was thinking about his fifth, the guy with the slickback and Tom returned.
Tom looked at the knife in Yuan Zhou's hand. His face was expressionless, but his heart was beating fast.
"This is too unprofessional. Carving with a kitchen knife, what can you achieve? You didn't even prepare a basic carving knife. "Tom was dissatisfied.
Take a look at Western cuisine. Just the knives alone were divided into bread knives, boning knives, palette knives, slicing knives, etc. But in Chinese cuisine, there was only a kitchen knife. It was a kitchen knife for slicing, slicing, slicing meat, and slicing vegetables. It was simply unprofessional.
Yuan Zhou sensed that someone was coming, but it was not open for business and Yuan Zhou would not bother with people when he was practicing his saber skills.
The knife in his hand was the Miracle Kitchen Knife from the God of Cooking Set. Without a doubt, he was going to use this kitchen knife to carve with the technique that was inconvenient for a kitchen knife. Only then would he be able to reach the point of being skillful.
With the idea in his mind, Yuan Zhou began directly!
Tom was just about to say, "Do you need the production team to provide a set of professional knives?"
However, before he could speak, he saw Yuan Zhou's saber light flashing.
It was not the kind of saber light that could hurt people in martial arts novels, but Yuan Zhou was too fast with his saber. It was like a little man dancing in his palm, and the blade reflected the sunlight.
The words that were about to come out of Tom's mouth were instantly choked. There was only one doubt left in Tom's mind. How could such a "bulky" knife be so agile?
It was as if he was watching a 250kg fatty dancing a little swan ballet with great agility. He even made some difficult twirls.
Snake. Yuan Zhou wanted to carve a coiled snake and then use the snake's outline as the body and tail of the monkey stealing the peach. There could not be any mistakes in this.
One being still and one moving was the most difficult. The monkey had to be quick-witted and active, while the coiled snake had to be a resting snake, not a dead one.
A few minutes later, the radish had turned from an ingredient into a sculpture.
The guy with the slickback had done a lot of research and knew that Yuan Zhou's knife skills were very good. After all, there was a record of him removing the fish bones from the blade.
However, the knife skills in front of him were too exaggerated!
There was no need to mention Tom. His eyeballs were about to pop out. Was this guy a max carver?
"What an agile snake (monkey)."
The guy with the slickback and Tom spoke in unison and looked at each other.
"It's obviously a monkey (snake)."
The two of them looked at each other and seemed to have understood something. They silently exchanged positions and saw a completely different scene.
The agile monkey and the silent snake that seemed to be ready to deal a fatal blow at any moment.
"This is really f * cking suffocating," the guy with the slickback said after a moment of silence.
"Cough, cough." Tom could not help but cough. However, his eyes were still staring at Yuan Zhou.
This was no longer a problem of knife skills. From this sculpture, it could be seen that this Boss Yuan's presentation was also top-notch.
Swish! Swish! Swish! The kitchen knife danced and the radish shavings slowly fell into the bamboo basket. Yuan Zhou's sculpture had also begun to finish.
During this period, Tom and the guy with the slickback did not say anything. They just stared blankly.
This sculpture was already a work of art. On the left, it looked like a monkey stealing the peach. On the right, it looked like a coiled snake.
Most importantly, the carving was extremely detailed. Even the fur of the monkey and the scales of the snake were carved out.
"Is this really done with a kitchen knife?" Even though Tom had seen it with his own eyes, he still could not believe his eyes.
It was clearly carved using a precise instrument.
"Phew." Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief. Then, he put down the knife and looked at the sculpture in his hands.
"This time, the tail of the monkey and the tail of the snake are quite compatible. The fur of the tail of the monkey is still lacking, but the eyes of the monkey and the snake are still fine." Yuan Zhou looked at the sculpture carefully and analyzed it. There were still some parts that he was not satisfied with.
"This is really amazing. This technique is really invincible," the guy with the slickback muttered to himself. Anything carved from this radish could be sold for money.
"This is too exaggerated. This is really too exaggerated," Tom kept thinking in his mind. Was there anyone who could do something like this in Western cuisine?
He had thought of many Western cuisine masters in his mind, but all of them had failed. Therefore, he kept repeating that it was too exaggerated.
Just as Tom and the guy with the slickback were marveling at Yuan Zhou's skills, the scene in front of them stunned them once again.
They saw Yuan Zhou throwing the "work of art" radish sculpture into the trash can. His actions were so clean that neither of them could stop him in time.
"…"
Tom and the guy with the slickback looked at each other. What was going on? Why did he throw away such a good thing?
Why did he throw away such a good thing?!
"This still isn't right," Yuan Zhou took a deep breath. Animals were indeed much more difficult to carve than Arhat Guanyin.
"Living animals are indeed more difficult to deal with," Yuan Zhou muttered.
Yuan Zhou's expression was solemn and serious. He looked at the sculpture in the trash can and frowned at the monkey's tail.
This action was very obvious to Tom and the guy with the slickback that he was not satisfied with the sculpture.
Still not satisfied?!
"If this is not enough, what else do you want?" Tom's heart was trembling.
Especially when he thought of the reason why he was standing here, he felt even more uncomfortable.
