There was a small reservoir not far away from the kitchen of the North-South Restaurant. The fresh fish that the restaurant needed were prepared in the reservoir. At this moment, the senior apprentice and Shao 'an were standing side by side by the reservoir. The water in the pool was not turbid, and the fish swimming leisurely in it could still be seen clearly.
The senior apprentice turned his head to look at Shao 'an and found that Shao' an was looking at the live fish in the pool with lifeless eyes and an expressionless face. He was very satisfied with Shao 'an's state. At least it was time for a senior apprentice like him to perform.
"Shaoan, why don't I demonstrate it to you?”
Shao 'an woke up from his daze.
"Uh... Oh? Alright!"
Seeing Shao 'an's absent-minded look, the senior apprentice could not help but shake his head. However, he still had to demonstrate what he needed to demonstrate. He picked up the fishing net placed by the pool and observed the movement of the live fish. After confirming the plan, he quickly lowered the net, caught the fish, and reeled in the net. The entire process was done in one go.
"See, this is the correct way to fish. Back then, when I practiced this, I improved so quickly that even my senior brother was stunned. Shao 'an, you still have a lot to learn.”
Shao 'an looked at the fish struggling in the net and then at the laughing apprentice. In the end, he asked the key question.
"Senior Brother, that... Does this have anything to do with killing fish?"
"Uh... "No, I don't think so." The senior apprentice's laughter stopped abruptly.
"But it's still very powerful." Shao 'an said,
"Of course!" The senior acolyte started to act arrogantly again.
" If you can't survive in the future, at least you can help people salvage some things that have fallen into the water. Maybe a woodcutter or something will drop an iron axe into the water, and you can salvage a golden axe. If you develop well, you can also become a professional plumber. Who knows, there might be a king asking you to go to the sewers to save a princess or something…" Shao 'an's thoughts began to unfold.
"Are we going to kill the fish or not?" The older apprentice couldn't stand Shao 'an's endless chatter.
"Kill! He definitely had to kill them! However, you still have to go first." Shao 'an finally returned to the main topic.
"Open your eyes wide and watch. Actually, killing fish is very simple.”The senior acolyte started to feel smug again.
Shao 'an tried his best to open his eyes. His pair of widened eyes stared straight at the older apprentice, which made the older apprentice lose his interest again.
"Shao 'an! I said you did it on purpose!" The senior acolyte couldn't take it anymore.
"Where? I tried my best to keep my eyes open.”Shao 'an replied seriously.
"Forget it, forget it. Don't open your eyes wide. Just look at it like usual.”
"You should have said so earlier! My eyes are hurting." Shao 'an complained.
This time, the senior apprentice finally ignored Shao 'an and began the tutorial on killing fish.
The senior apprentice's expression was solemn. He reached out and grabbed the fish that was trapped in the net. Then, he took out the net and held the fish tightly with both hands. He adjusted the position of the fish's head and aimed it at the stone beside the pool. He smashed the fish head against the rock a few times, and the struggling fish stopped moving.
Shao 'an looked at the senior apprentice with admiration. He gave the senior apprentice a thumbs up and gave him a high evaluation of his performance.
"You're too direct! Is Senior Brother dead?" Shao An poked the motionless fish's body with his finger and asked.
"He's not dead, he probably just fainted.”The senior acolyte said confidently.
"Then what should we do next?" Shao 'an asked.
"Continue killing!" The senior acolyte's face was filled with killing intent.
Senior Brother, wait for me." Shao 'an seemed to have thought of something.
"What are you doing?" The senior acolyte was confused.
Shao 'an quickly ran to the kitchen after saying that. Soon, he ran back with an object.
========================================================================================================================================
Shao 'an returned to the senior apprentice's side. He hid one hand behind his back and smiled happily at the senior apprentice.
"Senior Brother, guess what I brought?”
Just as the senior acolyte was about to answer.
"You can't guess, right? I brought a kitchen knife!" Shao 'an replied with a smile.
He revealed the other hand that was hidden behind his back. In his hand was a kitchen knife that was shining with a cold light. He didn't seem to have any intention of handing the kitchen knife to the senior apprentice immediately. He held the kitchen knife in his hand and proudly waved it in front of the senior chef.
Who knew that the senior apprentice would show deep disdain for the kitchen knife in Shao 'an's hand.
"Shao 'an, you're really too young! Who told you that you had to use a knife to kill fish?”At this moment, the senior acolyte had an unfathomable expression on his face.
Shao An saw his senior brother's confident expression and could not help but think of a possibility. Was his senior brother going to use a big move? At this moment, Shao 'an was extremely focused on observing the senior acolyte's every move.
The senior apprentice smiled and began to move. His right index finger and middle finger kept moving. Finally, he displayed his shocking big move, and this big move almost made Shao 'an's eyes pop out.
"This works too? Isn't that too cruel?" Shao 'an said.
The senior apprentice pretended to put his right hand into the reservoir to wash it. Only after the blood on his fingers was washed away did he explain the series of actions to Shao 'an.
"See, this is the art of killing fish. Isn't it full of charm?”The old acolyte shook his head, and the mark on his forehead shook.
"Art? Charm? Big brother, you're overestimating yourself." Shao 'an thought to himself.
Shao An summarized the techniques of the senior apprentice. First, he knocked the fish unconscious, then used his index and middle fingers to dig out the gills from the gills. Finally, he used his nails to scrape off the scales. The entire process was bloody and brutal, and there was no beauty to it.
"Brother Yu, you've suffered!" Shao 'an mourned silently.
"Shao 'an, it's your turn. Don't learn from me. Although my method is very artistic, you can't do it with your current skills. So, you should use your knife to kill slowly. Remember, the first step is to knock the fish unconscious.”the senior acolyte said.
"My turn? Do you really want to kill him?" Shao 'an hesitated.
"Kill! He must be killed! However, it's your turn to kill." The senior acolyte replied in the same words as Shao An.
"Looks like we have no choice! Then let's start killing!" Shao 'an gritted his teeth.
Under the shocked gaze of the senior apprentice, Shao An skillfully fished out a live fish that wasn't too big from the pool. Then, he randomly picked up a thick branch from the ground and aimed one end of the branch at the mouth of the live fish.
"Brother Yu, we have no grudges in the past and no grudges in the present. After you go down, you have to remember that the person who harmed you is my senior brother!”
After saying that, he closed his eyes and pushed the branch in his hand hard. The branch pierced through the mouth of the live fish and went straight into its body. The live fish shook violently for a while and then stopped moving.
The senior apprentice looked at Shao 'an with his mouth wide open in disbelief. He swore that he had never seen Shao' an use such a vicious method. It was too cruel. Even the most important step of knocking him out was omitted.
Shao 'an opened his eyes again and looked at the live fish that had stopped moving.
"Senior Brother, has it already fainted?”Shao 'an asked.
"Cough cough…It seems to be dead…" the senior acolyte replied.
"Is it artistic enough?" Shao 'an asked again.
"It's simply art! Junior Brother has a bright future!" The senior acolyte praised.
Senior Brother, why don't you try?" Shao 'an said.
"I won't try anymore…Killing too many…That's not good!" The senior apprentice found an excuse.
"I see! But I'm still not very familiar with it. Why don't you use the artistic technique I just used to demonstrate it again tomorrow?”
