Since his master and his wife were leaving the mountain, the dinner was especially sumptuous. Han Zhitian was so happy that he even asked Ye Shuangyue to bring two bottles of wine to drink with Uncle Zhong and Ye Shuangyue. Meanwhile, Exquisite and Han Xiao were gorging themselves with both hands from time to time.
On the way back, Master's wife had even gone to hunt a wild boar at the foot of Heaven Piercing Peak.
The wild boars in the Hundred Thousand Mountains had short and thick limbs for the sake of running, but their bodies were as fat as a cow. Its entire body was covered with black hair that looked like steel needles. Its ears were like two cattail leaf fans, and two long fangs grew out from both sides of its nose.
When Han Xiao finished bathing, he saw Uncle Zhong washing Shanz. Looking at this wild boar that weighed a few hundred pounds, he even heard from his senior sister that his master's wife had carried the wild boar from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain with one hand. Han Xiao was dumbstruck. He was simply admiring his master's wife's ability.
Seeing Han Xiao looking at his wife with stars in his eyes, Han Zhitian smiled and said,""As long as Xiao 'er studies hard, he will definitely be more powerful than your master's wife in the future.”
Who knew that when Han Xiao heard his master say this, he said in embarrassment,"I just need to be as powerful as Master. I don't need to surpass Master's wife.”
When Uncle Zhong, Han Zhitian, and Ye Shuangyue heard what Han Xiao said, they were stunned for a moment before breaking out into laughter. Han Zhitian said angrily,""It seems that I have to bring a wild boar up tomorrow. No, I have to bring an even fiercer one up to show that I'm the strongest. I think I'll bring your master's wife up tomorrow.”
Han Zhitian started laughing, and Ye Shuangyue seemed to have thought of something. Her face turned red, and she spat at Han Zhitian."You're not serious. You're still fooling around in front of the child. How can you act like a master and a father?”
"Xiao 'er, as long as you train seriously, you'll be able to have this much strength in two years."”After saying that, he let Han Xiao follow him to the waterfall in the west.
The waterfall wasn't big, and it was all the melted snow on Heaven-Piercing Peak. Uncle Zhong and Han Zhitian had channeled it here for daily use.
When they arrived at the waterfall, Uncle Zhong placed Shanz on a rock beside him and took the kitchen knife in his right hand. He said to Smiling Smile,"Xiao 'er, I see that you only know how to use brute force to chop wood. This is not right. Look!"
After saying that, Uncle Zhong raised his hand and chopped at Shanz's front leg. The front leg broke with a sound. However, Uncle Zhong extended the kitchen knife in front of Han Xiao. Han Xiao saw that a part of the blade had already been turned over, and because he had used too much force, a white mark had appeared on the stone under the pig's feet.
Uncle Zhong continued," It's the same principle to chop wood and kill pigs. You only need to use 70% of your strength to hold the knife. This way, you won't break the knife, but you won't lose the flexibility of the knife." Look."
Uncle Zhong said as he demonstrated to Han Xiao. Uncle Zhong drew the kitchen knife in his hand left and right on the stone, and the blade returned to its original sharpness.
Then, Uncle Zhong lifted the pig's ear with his right hand and circled the knife around the wild boar's thick neck with his left hand. The pig's head stopped in Uncle Zhong's hand. Uncle Zhong turned around and said to Han Xiao," If we were to chop like you, I don't know if the boar's head would fall off, but the kitchen knife in our hands would definitely be useless. Then, we wouldn't be able to make dinner."”
Originally, Han Xiao was quite afraid when he saw Uncle Zhong doing this bloody job, but he had already seen dead people, so he wasn't so timid anymore. Coupled with Uncle Zhong's humor, Han Xiao couldn't help but laugh.
Ye Shuangyue looked at Uncle Zhong and Han Xiao from afar and said without turning back,""Zhitian, I think Uncle Zhong is more attentive to your disciple than you are. As his master, when are you going to teach him?”
Han Zhitian walked to Ye Shuangyue's side and said to Uncle Zhong,""Maybe Uncle Zhong is like this because he's even more unwilling than I am. It's been so many years…"
Ye Shuangyue glanced at Han Zhitian.""I really didn't expect you to take Xiao 'er as your disciple, and I didn't expect you to give him such a name. Actually, his aptitude isn't considered high…"
Before Ye Shuangyue could finish, Han Zhitian opened his mouth and said,""The word fate is really puzzling. Do you still remember the words that old ghost Gui Gu said to me back then? I'm not prepared to leave the mountain anymore. It's just that it's been hard on you…"
Ye Shuangyue thought of the past, and she could not help but sigh. She rested her head on Han Zhitian's shoulder and looked at the sea of clouds in the distance without saying a word.
Beside the waterfall, Uncle Zhong saw that Han Xiao was no longer as fearful as before. Uncle Zhong's left wrist shook, and a kitchen knife danced like a butterfly around a flower. Han Xiao's eyes lit up.
Uncle Zhong continued," When using the knife, don't just use your arms and waist. Pay attention to the flexibility of your wrist. Only then can you be precise, fast, and flexible."”
He saw Uncle Zhong slash the kitchen knife from the boar's neck to its abdomen, then stick the knife into the boar's stomach. Han Xiao only saw Uncle Zhong's hand stir in the boar's stomach for a moment before pulling it out.
Uncle Zhong waved his hand and chopped off the remaining pig trotters. Then, he placed the kitchen knife beside him and grabbed the wild boar's head and tail with both hands. With a shake, a complete piece of wild boar skin was peeled off. Han Xiao was dumbfounded and gasped in amazement.
Then, Han Xiao ran back and forth to help Uncle Zhong. He also saw the whole process of Uncle Zhong dissecting the wild boar. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a chef dissecting a cow. However, the cow was replaced by a pig. Uncle Zhong did not use any strength, but the huge wild boar was puzzled by Uncle Zhong.
Uncle Zhong was also dissecting Shanz as he taught Han Xiao some techniques of using a knife. Even if the poor Shanz died, it would still be a demonstration for Han Xiao. It could be considered a worthy death.
After Uncle Zhong finished dissecting the wild boar, he carried the dissected pork to the pool under the waterfall to wash it clean. He then walked around the side and walked behind the waterfall.
It turned out that there was a cave behind the waterfall. Usually, the cave was covered by the waterfall, so it would not be discovered if one did not look carefully.
Han Xiao saw Uncle Zhong walking towards the cave, so he followed behind him and helped Uncle Zhong move the decomposed pork into the cave.
After entering the cave, he discovered that there was a different world inside. Near the entrance of the cave was a stone room that was nine feet square. Inside, there were many daily necessities such as rice, flour, oil, and salt placed against the mountain wall. On the other side, there were two rows of jars.
Han Xiao asked Uncle Zhong what was in the jar. Uncle Zhong said,"You'll know when the time comes. It's all prepared for you.”After saying that, he laughed out loud.
Han Xiao saw Uncle Zhong walk straight through the stone room and into it, so he followed him to the end of the stone room. He saw Uncle Zhong kick an inconspicuous stone by the wall, and the wall in front of him made a sound.
Following the sound, the stone wall in front of him opened up by more than three feet. Uncle Zhong bent down and entered.
Han Xiao only felt a gust of cold air coming from the inside. He followed his feet and walked in. He saw a stone room that was slightly smaller than the outside. The difference was that the stone room was surrounded by white ice cubes.
So this was an ice room. Uncle Zhong placed the meat pieces on the ice cubes in the ice room for better preservation. On the other side of the ice room, there were some fruits, vegetables, and some herbs. They were all frozen in ice and placed on the ice shelf on the other side of the ice room.
After the boar meat was settled, Uncle Zhong washed and peeled the boar's trotters and head, saying that he was going to boil a pot of soup for Han Xiao and Ling Long to strengthen their muscles and bones.
Han Xiao had been following Uncle Zhong around, helping him out. He heard Uncle Zhong say that his cooking skills were the most important, so he let Han Xiao learn from him so that his skills would not be lost.
Hearing Han Xiao being speechless by the side, Uncle Zhong saw Han Xiao's disapproval and said,"In life, no matter what skills you learn, you can't use them all the time. Even if you learn how to fly, so what?
No matter how capable a person is, they will be starving if they don't eat for three days. Therefore, don't mistreat yourself when it comes to your appetite. Look, increase the fire a little more…"
After saying that, Uncle Zhong used the excuse that he was injured and could not move to get Han Xiao to help him cook while he took on the role of commander.
Just like that, Han Xiao endured the countless "recipes" that Uncle Zhong forced in while cooperating with Uncle Zhong to bring water, cut vegetables, add salt, and add firewood.
Uncle Zhong commanded Han Xiao while sipping from the teapot Ling Long had brought over.
Han Xiao silently cursed Uncle Zhong who was still invincible when he slaughtered the pig just now, but now he had become an injured person who could not move. Seeing that Uncle Zhong and his master and mistress had worked hard for him for the whole day, he felt at ease and took on the role of a chef.
It was only when the moon was high up in the sky that Han Zhitian and Ye Shuangyue finally finished organizing the day's harvest. Under Uncle Zhong's " guidance ", Han Xiao finally ended the day's " chef training class ".
