Kiyomi Liuli was taken aback, "You know this knife skill?" Although it wasn't anything particularly special, it wasn't something normal kids should know how to do.
Sugita Mai smiled shyly, "Yes, I learn at cooking classes during the holidays, and a teacher taught us. Hmm, our teacher's husband is Chinese, and she said that he values knife skills a lot, seeing them as the most fundamental skill."
"Knife skills are indeed very important. Only with good knife skills can you begin to master the control of heat," Kiyomi Liuli recalled Nanahara Takeshi's daily scolding and blurted out, "Like when we prepare to stir-fry, the key point of the 'explosive' technique lies in controlling the heat. It needs to be just right; a bit less and it's underdone, a bit more and it's overcooked. If the knife skills are poor, it's impossible to achieve."
