Chapter 20 The Unsuitable Kitchen Knife
That's right, it's up to the individual to learn from the master, so why should I be obsessed with who the master is? If I really can't take Chang Tai as my master, at worst, I'll find another master. With my own tenacity, I don't believe that I can't carry forward my carving skills.
After thinking about it, Lin Yue bowed heavily to He Changhe and said sincerely: "Mr. He, thank you for your words. This junior has learned a lesson."
He Changhe looked at Lin Yue with admiration, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Don't forget to go to the Ronglexuan antique store on Antique Jade Street tomorrow morning. I'll wait for you there."
Lin Yue nodded in agreement, and He Changhe left in the car as Lin Yue waved goodbye.
Before Lin Yue went home, he went to the vegetable market and bought a handy kitchen knife and a pair of incense sticks that were slightly thinner than his little finger. He would start with the thicker incense sticks. Don't rush into it. After you get familiar with it, you can switch to other ones.
One step is one step.
After returning home, it was only around three o'clock in the afternoon. Lin Yue first put away the tableware that he had not put away in the morning, and then hurried into his room to prepare for experiments during the day.
He first put the incense he bought between two piles of books on the table, and then took out a kitchen knife. During the day, he didn't need to light the incense because he could see it. At night, he only needed to light the incense because he couldn't see it.
After making all preparations, Lin Yue aimed at the top of the incense stick and struck it with a knife. He thought that he had been analyzing rocks for two years and had a very accurate understanding of the strength and angle, but he was disappointed.
Not only did the knife miss, it missed by a full two centimeters. Not only that, he found that the knife was slanted when he struck it, which was definitely a big harm to carving and chopping incense. At the same time, this knife also made
Lin Yue realized the difference between living and dead things. Unraveling stones only requires unique eyesight and skilled operation, while splitting incense requires not only unique eyesight, but also steady, fast and accurate hands. The difficulty has increased by more than one level.
Lin Yue was not discouraged, he raised his knife and struck again. He missed...
Another chop. Missed...
Another chop. Missed...
…
After striking fifty times in a row, Lin Yue's skills were almost exhausted. In the end, he only hit two swords, and these two swords were caused by accidentally slicing the sword at an angle and hitting the incense, not the center of the blade at all.
Looks like I need to change my knife.
Lin Yue looked at the kitchen knife in his hand and sighed suddenly. The kitchen knife was good for cutting vegetables, but it was far from good at chopping. Not only did it not feel good in the hand, it also hindered accuracy. The only saving grace was that it was quite heavy, which could train hand and wrist strength.
Lin Yue rested for a while, moved his wrists a few times, and then continued to devote himself to splitting the fragrance. By the time of dinner at 6:30 in the afternoon, Lin Yue no longer knew how many times he had split his wrists and arms.
He was numb. The only thing that excited him throughout the afternoon was that he accidentally hit it once, just once, and the rest of the time he hit it accidentally.
After Qin Yaoyao returned home, she saw Lin Yue lying on the sofa like a dead dog. She hurriedly walked to him and asked anxiously: "Lin Yue, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm tired from doing housework. I can't feel the whole right arm." Lin Yue said with a miserable look on his face.
"Doing housework?" Qin Yaoyao was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Is it so tiring to do housework?"
"Of course!" Lin Yue's tone was full of affirmation, "Did you know that I cleaned the living room three times from top to bottom, and even cleaned the roof."
"Oh? Really?" Qin Yaoyao smiled jokingly, reached out and touched the underside of the coffee table, then handed her hand to Lin Yue to see: "What is this?"
Lin Yue's face changed slightly, but he was considered shameless. When he saw the thick dust on Qin Yaoyao's fingers, he said lightly: "I'm tired before I clean this place. The most important thing is that I leave some for you, a latecomer."
Do housework well, it will save you the trouble of not knowing how to do housework when you get married..."
Before Lin Yue could finish speaking, a white bag was thrown at his face.
"ah--"
Ever since he learned from He Lanyue yesterday that Qin Yaoyao was interested in him, Lin Yue changed his attitude towards Qin Yaoyao. He used to be a friend, but now he wants to create ambiguity.
Create a lot of ambiguity.
quack……
Lin Yue unconsciously laughed from the dinner table.
"What are you laughing at? You are smiling so lewdly? Are you trying to corrupt some girl again?" Qin Yaoyao picked up her chopsticks and knocked on Lin Yue's bowl, then gave him a fierce look.
Lin Yue's heart trembled, and he immediately put on an aggrieved look like a gentleman and said: "Don't call me so nasty, okay? Do you know what it means that birds of a feather flock together? Even if I'm nasty, don't forget it.
We have been living together for several months."
"Please, don't be so ambiguous, okay? Let's live together? At most we can rent a house together. If you want to be the same distance from me in this life, you won't be lucky. You might be able to join the queue in the next life."
Qin Yaoyao picked up a piece of meat from Lin Yue's bowl and put it in her mouth, saying with enjoyment.
"Hey, that's the food in my bowl!"
"I didn't expect you to be such a stingy person. Why are you howling so loudly if you're not eating your flesh?"
"..."
…
The meal quickly passed in the bickering between the two. Lin Yue did not feel uncomfortable, but felt that it was better this way. At least the two of them could let go and have a true heart-to-heart. No matter what the outcome, he, an old virgin, also
You have to think about your own offspring, it's time to find a mother for your son.
After eating, Lin Yue washed away the bowl with a look of aggrievedness, and then returned to the room to continue his unfinished business. Although he also wanted to watch TV with Qin Yaoyao, he couldn't. He had to fight for his dream, at least for now.
yes.
Qin Yaoyao looked at Lin Yue's back with deep meaning, a hint of emotion in her eyes. After Lin Yue closed the door, she slowly looked away. The picture on the TV was already dull.
This time Lin Yue wanted to try splitting incense at night without being seen. Judging from the situation during the day, you can imagine how difficult it is.
After lighting the incense, he clamped it with a book, closed the curtains, and turned off the lights. The whole room was plunged into thick darkness, with only the red dots of burning incense shining in the dark night.
Lin Yue took a while to adapt. After he was completely accustomed to the darkness, he slowly walked up to Xiang and picked up the knife. At the same time, he calmed down and then raised the knife and dropped it.
It's empty...
In the dark, the kitchen knife seems to blend into the darkness without any sparkle, and the red dot in the darkness is still bright.
Lin Yue frowned. He had already thought about the difficulty of chopping incense at night, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. There was no point of focus at all. It was difficult to control the direction of the knife, let alone chop the incense accurately.
Lin Yue raised the knife again. This time he did not hurriedly draw the knife. Instead, he observed it first, calculated the distance between the knife and the incense, and the length of his arm, and then simulated the path of the chop in his mind. When everything was ready
, Lin Yue decisively drew the sword without any hesitation.
Split the air again...
Lin Yue raised the knife helplessly again, and he found that this was not something that could be calculated at all, it was completely a skill that practice makes perfect.
Just do it. At worst, you can do it hundreds of thousands of times, and one day you will get the hang of it.
The knife in his hand fell again.
Split the air...
…
Lin Yue was completely immersed in the practice. His right arm holding the knife had completely lost consciousness. He was just waving it mechanically. If he missed once, he would miss twice; if he missed twice, he would miss three times; if he missed three times...
Soon, the incense burnt out completely.
Lin Yue put down the knife in his hand and wanted to use his right hand to turn on the light in the room, but just as he was about to raise his right hand, a severe soreness entered his brain, making him groan. Then, the whole
The soreness in his arm swept through his entire body. Originally, he wanted to turn on the light, change the scent, and continue, but his right arm no longer allowed him to make any other movements. Thinking of the agreement with He Changhe tomorrow, Lin Yue had no choice but to
wry smile.
It is impossible to continue today.
As soon as this thought came out, Lin Yue, who was lying on the bed without taking off his clothes, had already dragged his tired body into sleep...
The next morning, if Qin Yaoyao hadn't woken up Lin Yue, he would have slept until the afternoon. Lin Yue hurriedly finished his breakfast and went straight to Yushi Street in Kunming.
Kunming's Antique Jade Street is by no means comparable to those in small counties. Not only is the street winding with no end in sight, but the houses on both sides of the street are also decorated with antiques, giving people a grand but heavy feeling. Being in Antique Jade Street
It was as if I had traveled to ancient times. As a bystander, I watched the changes of the times and the luxury and magnificence of that era.
