Chapter 1157 (1/2)
Yuan Zhou spoke so softly that Cheng Ying couldn't hear her clearly.
”Shigong, what are you carving today?” Cheng Ying looked curiously at the things on the table. It was a little strange.
Cheng Ying accompanied Yuan Zhou to buy vegetables. Generally, she bought rhizomes or melons. Only such vegetables can be carved.
Now, on the table where the carving ingredients are usually placed in Yuanzhou, there is a green bamboo tube, a palm sized but deep stone, and a piece of wood that can't see what tree it is, and even the skin of the wood is still on it.
”Carving of non food materials.” Yuanzhou road.
”Do we need to know this as a cook?” Cheng Ying said she was frightened.
”I need to.” Yuanzhou road.
”But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with cooking?” Cheng Ying said carefully.
”These can practice wrist strength, wrist flexibility, and the mastery of various soft and hard ingredients, and can be used as utensils for delicious food.” It is rare for Yuan Zhou to say such a long sentence.
”But your carving is very, very powerful, Shigong.” Cheng Ying said sincerely.
”No, it's far from enough.” Yuan Zhou shook his head and remembered the second part of the sculptor who had not yet landed.
”Shigong, you are too demanding of yourself.” Cheng Ying said with admiration and emotion.
”Only in this way can we make progress.” Yuan Zhou began to take a knife in one hand and a bamboo joint in the other, ready to carve.
”Come on, Shigong. Shigong is the best.” As a salted fish who is only three years old but only knows a little Western food, Cheng Ying decisively began to shout 666 to help Yuanzhou refuel.
Yuan Zhou nodded and began to observe the bamboo knots in his hand.
This bamboo joint is supposed to be in the middle of the bamboo. Its thickness is about the size of Yuanzhou's wrist. There are two bamboo tubes in total, with an obvious light yellow bamboo joint in the middle.
The cutting place is very flat without sawdust. The outer layer is green and bright. It feels slightly moist. It should have just been cut.
Yuan Zhou pinched the bamboo tube with his hand, tested the softness and hardness of the bamboo tube, then turned the bamboo knots on his hand, and looked carefully again.
Every time when facing new food materials or carving materials, Yuan Zhou will carefully observe them and know them well. Only then can he start carving.
Now Yuan Zhou has observed this bamboo joint for a longer time than usual. After all, this is his first bamboo carving.
”Make a container with two ends available by means of relief.” Yuan Zhou's mind gradually matured.
”My fellow Su Shi, who lived thousands of years ago, said that you can eat without meat and not live without bamboo. Without meat, you are thin and without bamboo, you are vulgar. Then carve some elegant ones.” Yuan Zhou picked up the bamboo and the first thing that emerged was this poem. In his heart, he decided what kind of pattern to carve.
Yuan Zhou held the miracle kitchen knife in his right hand and the bamboo tube in his left hand. Without hesitation, he directly began to cut.
The sharp kitchen knife didn't make any sound when cutting on the bamboo surface, and smoothly separated the green bamboo skin on the surface.
In fact, bamboo carving, also known as bamboo carving, was mainly popular in southern China and reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty, which gave birth to two factions.
One school is Jinling bamboo carving represented by Jinling bamboo carving, and the other school is Jiading school represented by magic capital.
Of course, there are many factions under these two factions, but represented by these two factions, the system gives Yuanzhou not only bamboo carvings, but also wood carvings, stone carvings, bone carvings and so on.
So when Yuanzhou absorbed these skills, he chose the most suitable one to practice first, that is, the carving technique of staying green.
