"Why do you need to cut it like this? A chef must learn to understand the grain of the meat you're working with, otherwise, you won't be able to create good cuisine!"
"Oh my God, your cutting for this dish isn't fine enough."
"Here, add a little more salt, and next time change the brand. I tried this one, and it doesn't seem quite right."
Soma Yukihira kept pointing out the mistakes Chen Ze was making, some of which Chen Ze hadn't noticed, and others he had but hadn't considered important.
When Soma tried the salt and then asked Chen Ze to change it, Chen Ze's view of him changed, for when Chen Ze tasted it himself, all salt tasted equally salty to him; hence he couldn't quite understand how Soma could discern a difference.
After guiding him through the cooking, Soma then taught Chen Ze some methods for selecting meat, all of which resulted in substantial gains for Chen Ze, after all, Soma's cooking skills were learned from his father.
