After swiftly finishing the Four Happiness glutinous rice, Xiao Qin the apprentice came to his loyal kitchen.
The kitchen was filled with washed radishes, box after box with hardly any room to stand. Cao Guixiang didn't even enter the kitchen but stood at the door watching.
"Once the radishes in the kitchen are fully sliced, you can move on to the yams in the storage room," Cao Guixiang said.
Qin Huai understood, today was a day to slice vegetables and brush up on knife skills.
Last night he was slicing in his dreams, and upon waking, came directly to the kitchen to slice seamlessly—it worked wonders.
Without a moment of hesitation, Qin Huai picked up the kitchen knife and quickly sliced radish shreds.
The speed was similar to that of slicing radishes last night; quick, precise, and firm, without any hesitation. The movements were crisp and clean, with his knife making regular, rhythmic sounds as it struck the cutting board.
