Chapter 378 Possible
“This is amazing!”
“It’s possible to dig out the characteristics of every green pepper strand!”
"I just realized now that green peppers don't just have one flavor, but each part of them has a different flavor."
"It's normal that you don't know, because according to common sense, green pepper has only one flavor. No one has ever been able to dig out the different flavors in it. Because this is simply impossible."
"That's amazing! Now I know why these green pepper strips have different postures. It turns out that they are designed to show the advantages of each green pepper strip."
"Although I tasted this extraordinary flavor myself, I still felt it was a dream. This is too magical. Is it really possible to do this? Discover the advantages of each part of the green pepper and cut it into different shapes to show its uniqueness. There are at least hundreds of green pepper shreds in this plate. Are they really different? This is too exaggerated! Too scary!"
Dong Fang was so shocked that he lost the ability to speak. The knife skills were completely beyond his imagination.
Not only was it beyond his imagination, the knife skills were beyond the imagination of everyone present.
Only A'mu, who realized how terrible Xu Qing's knife skills were, and Chef Abei, who had tasted the dishes made by Xu Qing, were mentally prepared.
As for the others, apart from shouting and screaming in shock, there was no other expression.
Han Jiang was stunned.
Before, he was still amazed at Amu's knife skills and felt inferior to him.
After learning that Amu was imitating Xu Qing's knife skills and had only learned the basics, Han Jiang had a much higher opinion of Xu Qing.
But Xu Qing's knife skills completely exceeded his expectations.
Only then did he realize that when Amu said he had only learned the basics, it was not just a humble remark, but that he really had only learned the basics.
The dish in front of you has not been cooked, but simply cut into thin strips of ingredients, which reveals the ultimate deliciousness hidden inside the ingredients.
If Amu's knife skills are like opening a window, people can see the beautiful scenery through the window.
Xu Qing's knife skills make people fly high into the sky and take in all the beautiful scenery.
This kind of knife skills can really make people feel desperate.
Han Jiang originally thought that his knife skills were outstanding, at least at the level of a top chef.
However, first it was A'mu's knife skills, and then Xu Qing's knife skills, which instantly destroyed the arrogance in his heart.
If it was just Amu's knife skills, he might be able to catch up if he worked hard for a few years.
But Xu Qing's knife skills were not something he could catch up with just by hard work. Even with top talent and decades of hard work, he would probably only be able to barely reach the edge.
As for Han Jiang himself, even if he tried hard until his next life, he still would not be able to achieve such great knife skills.
This is technology that shouldn't exist in the world, and it's impossible to do.
But it just appeared before his eyes, lingering in his mouth, telling him so clearly that it really existed.
It's like a myth coming true, making people excited but also feeling unreal.
The plate of shredded green peppers that Xu Qing brought out was quickly divided up by everyone. Even though it was just a plate of raw shredded green peppers without any seasoning, they still enjoyed the meal. They could feel the wonderful taste every time they chewed it, and it was simply irresistible.
Seeing this, Xu Qing had no choice but to go back and cut another plate and prepare the ingredients again. Dong Fang couldn't help but sighed, "Old sir, before this, I still had doubts in my mind, thinking that Xu Qing couldn't make a dish that could combine two flavors. Because that is something that doesn't exist in reality. But now, his knife skills have made me truly feel something that doesn't exist in reality, turning the impossible into the possible. Now, I really believe that Xu Qing can make that dish."
As he was speaking, Dong Fang suddenly noticed that the old man did not taste the raw green pepper shreds like them.
After he picked the green pepper shreds with chopsticks and arranged them, he never moved his chopsticks again.
He couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Old man, why didn't you taste the raw green pepper?"
The old man pointed to his mouth and said, "Because I want to keep my taste buds to taste the whole dish."
A-Mao, who was standing by, had a face full of admiration. He came up to Master A-Bei and said, "Mom, A-Qing is so amazing! His knife skills are simply superb! It would be great if I could become as good as him in the future!"
Han Jiang was not far from him. When he heard what A-Mao said, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you feel hopeless in front of this knife skill?"
A-Mao thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes. When I first saw A-Qing's knife skills, I felt despair and fear at the same time. This is a skill that does not exist in reality, and it is not a realm that can be reached by human power. It's like no matter how much I do, I can't touch it in the end."
"Then you still..."
"But I still want to give it a try. Even if I can't achieve it in the end, as long as I learn a little bit and improve my knife skills a little bit, I can make more delicious dishes and bring more happiness to diners. So I can't give up. No matter how scared or desperate I am, I still hope to continue to pursue Ah Qing's knife skills."
Master Abei rubbed A-Mao's head and said approvingly, "A-Mao, you said it very well."
“Does it bring happiness to the diners?”
After hearing what Amu said, Han Jiang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
This is Amu's goal, his ideal and belief.
And what about your own?
Is his goal just to become a top chef?
What happens after becoming a top chef?
What should he pursue? What should he strive for to constantly improve himself and move towards a more distant future? Or should he just stay where he is and be content with being a top chef?
It's impossible to be satisfied, how can I be satisfied?
But what will his future be like? Han Jiang still can't figure it out.
His eyes were fixed on Xu Qing who was busy at the chopping board.
What Xu Qing was making was the complete form of his and Amu's dish.
Han Jiang is now like his dish, passionate and heroic, but without follow-up, and the future is shrouded in fog.
Perhaps, Xu Qing's dishes can make him understand what he should do in the future.
After a while, Xu Qingjiang had cut all the ingredients and started to prepare the fish-flavored sauce.
He got inspiration from Han Jiang. Instead of blending the four flavors of sour, sweet, salty and spicy, he intensified the conflict between them to make the flavors more intense and impactful.
Han Jiang failed to handle the aftereffects of the impact and could only let the four flavors consume each other, leaving nothing in the end.
With Xu Qing's keen five senses, he can do better than Han Jiang in flavor modulation. Moreover, he has to ensure that the flavor has a long aftertaste while ensuring the impact.
Before Xu Qing began to mix the fish-flavored sauce, he closed his eyes. He kept simulating the taste of the fish-flavored sauce in his mind, simulating and experimenting with various seasonings and proportions, using countless experiments and trial and error to gradually approach the only possibility, the possibility that should not exist, and bring this impossible dish into reality.
