Chapter 397 [The world is very small]
The kitchen knife is seven inches long, three inches high, a semi-arched blade, three points wide, and a bakery handle. Although it is not as good as Su Le's kitchen knife in his hand, it is much easier than the light meat-cutting knife. Su Le has worked hard on the kitchen knife. Even though he rarely cooks now, he will practice knife skills as long as he has time. Not to mention moon halo, his current level is far better than when he was in Nanwu.
Holding a kitchen knife in his hand, a familiar feeling surges in his heart. When the tools are used to the extreme, they can be extended into a part of the body. The kitchen knife in the chef's hand is like a brush in the hands of a calligrapher and a carving knife in the hands of a sculptor. When they practice to a certain level, they will give the tools in their hands spirituality and life.
The seemingly clumsy kitchen knife seemed light and agile in Su Le's hands, but he saw the kitchen knife in his hand flying left and right, and flying above the roasted sheep. I remember Zhu Laoer once said that if a person practices the knife to the highest level, the knife in his hand will become a part of his body. Through this knife, he can feel the shape, texture and details of the contact object.
An excellent chef's practice of knife skills is by no means limited to the sword skills itself. If you want to use magical help and you can easily use the knife, you must base yourself on a full understanding of the nature of the matter. During the period of time in Nanwu Meat Connection Factory, Su Le followed Zhu Laoer to learn cooking skills almost every day. He is best at disassembling pork, and of course he also knows a little about cattle and sheep, but he is still a little worse than being familiar with the anatomical structure of pigs. Despite this, the difference in meat quality, fascia, and bones, Su Le can sense clearly through the blade and tip of the knife. Even if he closes his eyes, he can control the strength of the knife.
If Zhu Laoer was present, he might have slapped Su Le on the back of the head. He had just learned some sword skills and showed off everywhere, but the sword skills that Su Le had produced were already amazing today. In the eyes of the two elders Yu Qianqiu and Li Lianhai, Su Le in front of him was like a reincarnation of the cook. It was really amazing that a young man could use the kitchen knife to this extent.
In the eyes of Yuba brothers and Mo Xiaoli, Su Le's performance is comparable to that of the bone-cutting chef Diao Buixue in Xinlongmen Inn. However, in the blink of an eye, Su Le had already used a kitchen knife to separate the whole sheep from his flesh and blood.
Li Lianhai picked up the chopsticks, gently touched the sheep's head, and then easily separated the sheep's head meat from the skull. The bones were cleaned. Li Lianhai was amazed and praised: "Young man, it's amazing! Your skill in picking bones should be comparable to that of the ancient Ku Ding!"
Su Le smiled and said, "It's nothing special, it's just a skillful thing. I grew up in the kitchen since I was a child. After graduating from high school, I worked in the meat conjugation factory for several months, so I didn't have any other skills, so I learned to pick the bones and remove the meat."
Yu Qianqiu couldn't help but become interested in his son's friend.
Yu Long and Mo Xiaoli were amazed at Su Le's sword technique. They were discussing the plot in the Xinlongmen Inn. Of course, what they were talking about must not resonate with the two elders.
Yu Ba looked at Su Le with a smile. Yu Ba was a rough and delicate person. He saw that Su Le’s display of swordsmanship today was not just a simple show-off, but also a deep impression on the two elders. Although he had not been in contact with Su Le for a long time, he had already learned about Su Le’s methods and methods of doing things. There is no doubt that Su Le is a smart person. What’s more rare is that he has the courage and responsibility that his peers have rarely seen. This is why Yu Ba is willing to date him sincerely.
Yu Qianqiu said: "Xiao Su, are you a chef?"
Yu Long said: "Dad, he is not a cook. Although he is younger than me, he is already the chairman of Longji Real Estate!"
Longi is a leading enterprise in the Shenhai real estate industry. Even Yu Qianqiu, who is so arrogant, has heard of the name of Longi Real Estate. He and Longi's general manager Sang * have known each other for a long time. Yu Qianqiu suddenly realized: "So you are Su Donglai's son."
Su Donglai is very famous in Shen Hai. Although he rarely deals with politics, this has not affected her popularity at all.
Su Le said respectfully: "Uncle Yu, I am not in charge of Longji. I inherited his family business from my father and have not done anything decent yet."
Yu Qianqiu smiled calmly and said, "Young people, gain is an opportunity. Longi is the leader in our Shenhai real estate industry and a big profit and taxation business. Young man, do your best to develop your career and strive to make greater contributions to our country." These words were a bit official, but in Yu Qianqiu's position, he had to speak with some political color.
Li Lianhai said: "Qianqiu, this is not working, you should talk less about the big truth. In my opinion, you young people should not think about doing big things all day long. Before doing things, you must first learn to be a good person, be down-to-earth, and achieve success no matter how big or small it is. As long as you do more things that are beneficial to society, you will be a good person."
Several younger generations nodded at the same time. Mr. Li’s words were simple but full of truth.
Yuba’s roasted whole lamb is indeed good. It tastes crispy, fragrant and tender, fat but not greasy, which is completely different from the mutton made from other methods. After tasting this roasted whole lamb, the aroma of teeth and cheeks will last for a long time, making people feel endless aftertaste. According to the taste of each person, coriander, scallions, onions, sesame paste, and noodle sauce were specially prepared to serve.
When people get older, their gastrointestinal function will definitely deteriorate a lot. Although the whole sheep is delicious, Li Lianhai dared not eat too much. After eating a few pieces of roasted whole sheep, he drank about two taels and threw himself into a donkey, so he stopped drinking.
Yu Qianqiu is a person who knows how to control himself. He was not very interested in meat and he only tasted wine casually. In fact, he rarely used wine. If he hadn't been an old leader here today, he would probably not touch his lips.
Li Lianhai has no airs and is kind and cheerful in front of several juniors. In addition, he is talkative. When he heard that Su Le was going to hold a food competition, he actually said on the spot that he wanted to visit the food competition. This is something that Su Le could not be sought after. If he could invite this big-name figure in Shen Hai's political arena, there is no doubt that the level and influence of the food competition would rise to a higher level.
The few people were in a state of fun chatting. Someone from the Li family came over, but Li Lianhai's daughter Li Jingru came from Qiantang and made a special trip to visit her father. When she got home, she heard that her father was here to visit her, so Li Jingru came over.
Su Le and Li Jingru have known each other for a long time. Li Jingru is the wife of Ge Wenhuai, the secretary of the Wuyue Provincial Party Committee. Speaking of which, when Su Le went to Qiantang, he happened to cure Li Jingru's anorexia. Although this matter was a bit lucky and coincidental, it was because of this origin that Su Le and Li Jingru got along well. When Su Le met Li Jingru in Nanwu, Yun'an, before, when Su Le met Li Jingru in helping to translate the golden inscription recipe left to him by his adoptive mother into simplified words. Unexpectedly, he would meet her here. Su Le did not expect that Li Jingru's father was Li Lianhai, the old secretary who ate meat and drank with her at the same table. In fact, he still didn't know the name of the old secretary.
Li Jingru even more unexpectedly would meet Su Le here. She said in surprise: "Su Le! You are here too, okay, I was just about to call you, but I didn't expect to meet him here."
All the people were curious, and no one expected that Su Le would meet Li Jingru.
Only then did Su Le realize that Li Jingru was actually Mr. Li's daughter, and the world was really small.
Yu Qianqiu called Li Jingru to sit down, and Li Jingru smiled and said, "I came to Shenhai for a meeting and took the time to come and see my dad. I just got home and found that he was not here, so I found this place."
Li Lianhai laughed and said, "It's hard for you to remember me, the old man. I thought you two girls had forgotten me."
Li Jingru said: "Dad, look at what you said. You can't forget you anywhere you go."
Li Lianhai said: "This girl is not a big one. Now looking back, it's better to have a son at the beginning. At least the son can stay by his side. Once this daughter gets married, she will belong to someone else."
Li Jingru smiled and said, "You are an old party member and cadre. Why are you full of the idea of favoring boys over girls? Why is your awareness getting worse and worse when you are old?"
The whole table laughed at her words.
Yu Qianqiu said: "Old Li, my son is nothing good. One of my two sons is rare to see once a year. Although the other is by my side, I can't meet him on weekdays. I occasionally see him last time and have to be confronted by him. I want my daughter. How great is my daughter, and I'm caring little cotton jacket."
Yu Ba smiled honestly. His father's words were not complaining, but full of regrets and feelings. In fact, his father has proposed to transfer him to Shenhai more than once. It doesn't take much effort to accomplish this with his father's relationship. However, Yu Ba still insists on staying in Xijiang to serve. One reason is that his grandparents are still alive. Another reason is that he does not want to disturb his father's current family life. His mother Yuan Suhui has been married to his father for fifteen years, and their son is now fourteen years old. The reason why he didn't see him this time is that before he came, the mother and son went to visit their relatives in the capital.
Yu Long disagreed with his father's words: "Dad, you are unfair. We meet too little because of me, but because you are too busy with work and have to eat and sleep all day long. It is rare for me, a son, to have a meal with you. Think about it yourself, how long has it been since we both had eaten together like this?"
Li Lianhai smiled and sighed: "As a state cadre, most of the time he is given to the country. You children must be more considerate."
Su Le was poured a drink by Li Jingru, picked up the wine glass and said, "Auntie Li, I wish you!"
Li Jingru smiled and drank a drink with him, then said, "I have prepared all the book you asked me to translate. This time I brought it with me. I wanted to call you when I settled down. I happened to meet you here, so I won't be able to find you again."
