Chapter 444 Bird Sculpture

Even the TV station followed up and reported that some beverage merchants even approached Bai Xiaobai to discuss the acquisition of the secret recipe.

It is rumored in the outside world that Bai Xiaobai must have a formula for freshly squeezed mulberry juice, otherwise, the effect of pure mulberry juice is absolutely impossible to be so delicious, and the effect cannot be so good.

In addition to the rave reviews of new products, it is hard to find a cup.

During the period, there were quite a few sunspots and colleagues who were very jealous and very jealous of the new products in Baixiaobai's shop.

Seeing that Bai Xiaobai made so much money, and seriously diverted so many customers.

Some bosses on Chaotianmen Street couldn't sit still anymore.

So they actually teamed up in private and reported to the relevant departments, saying that the 'freshly squeezed mulberry juice' might contain banned drugs and chemical additives, which would make people want to eat it, harmful to the body and so on.

Originally, there was no evidence, and the relevant government departments would not intervene in the investigation for nothing.

But firstly, Xiaobai Restaurant is located on Chaotianmen Street and has a huge influence, and secondly, many restaurant owners and some netizens jointly reported it.

The Food and Drug Administration had to join forces to conduct a special investigation on Xiaobai Restaurant.

The Food and Drug Administration has the power to inspect the food safety and hygiene of restaurants at any time.

Although Bai Xiaobai was not very happy in his heart, he still cooperated with the investigation very much.

The result can be imagined.

No matter how detailed the food and drug supervisors are, from the purchase channel to the "freshly squeezed mulberry juice" sampling component testing, chemical analysis, and detailed spectral analysis, they can't find any doubts about this drink.

Because there were no loopholes, the Food and Drug Administration could only end quietly in the end.

The unscrupulous restaurant owners who reported it on Chaotianmen Street saw this result, which was more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis.

After being investigated, Xiaobai Restaurant's "freshly squeezed mulberry juice" became famous.

Huiyuan Juice Jianghai District, a well-known fruit juice beverage company in China, also sent a special person to communicate with Bai Xiaobai.

Offer sky-high remuneration, hoping to get the special formula or exclusive agency right of 'freshly squeezed mulberry juice'.

Because it involved system secrets and food supply issues, Bai Xiaobai, who was not short of money, flatly rejected the merchant's negotiation to purchase drinks.

'Freshly Squeezed Mulberry Juice' attracted unprecedented attention in Jianghai, making Bai Xiaobai and Xiaobai Restaurant a sensation in the entire Jianghai Province again.

Even some Chinese media have mentioned the "freshly squeezed mulberry juice" of Xiaobai Restaurant in the diet and health column, saying that it is an incredible drink.

Because the news was hot, JHMB-TV, a mobile satellite TV affiliated to Jianghai Bus Company, did free publicity on the bus.

Since then, apart from ordinary diners, Bai Xiaobai's restaurant also has a group of special customers who need treatment.

These special customers are generally not good in that area, and hope to treat them with 'freshly squeezed mulberry juice'.

But food is food, medicine is medicine, and the two should not be confused.

Although there are also many medicinal and edible ingredients, Bai Xiaobai did not regard his 'freshly squeezed mulberry juice' as a medicinal drink for treating YW and ZX.

He will not promote new products too much under the guise of "health care". These benefits are only spread by word of mouth among diners.

In any case, the good reputation of the new product has brought the business of Xiaobai Restaurant to a higher level.

Until the night of December 31 at the end of the year.

The system released the turnover list for December.

Because of the title of 'Persistence', the share was increased to 200, and Bai Xiaobai's net income also increased a lot, breaking through [-] million for the first time.

Intensive business, long-term toil, no matter how much Bai Xiaobai loves to cook, he also needs to have a rest time.

At the beginning of the new year, Bai Xiaobai also gave himself a vacation.

Outside his store, it was closed for three days.

It just so happened that Gao Chao was invited to participate in the New Year's forum class of Qidian Yuewen, a great writer, and he flew to the Shanghai stock market during this period.

Bai Xiaobai was the only one in the store.

Besides eating, drinking, and taking care of Little Black Rhubarb, he didn't waste all his time playing.

During this period, he worked hard to practice the fourth layer of "Bird Carving" of the upgraded "Ghost Axe Carving Work".

This trick has been upgraded several days ago, but because of the new product launch, the business is very good, and Bai Xiaobai is busy, so he has no time to practice formally.

As the name suggests, bird carving is to use ingredients to carve birds, which is a very common type of food carving in China.

Bird carvings are more difficult than carvings of characters, flowers, and fish and insects on the first three floors of "Ghost Axe and God Carving".

Because bird carving involves the assembly of zero carvings, the process is complicated, and the proportion of the zero carving parts and the whole carving parts of each part should be appropriate.

That is, size, length, fat and thin, and height should be coordinated in proportion.

For example, engraving an eagle soaring with its wings outstretched.Because the body is too large, it cannot be molded at one time, so the body, wings and even the tail of the eagle must be carved separately, and then the parts are assembled together.

Bird carving is not only a single bird, but also a variety of themes, such as the combination of multiple birds will form a "hundred birds facing the phoenix".

If combined with flower carvings, it can form a 'Phoenix Wearing Peony'.

These themed bird food sculptures are even more complex.

It is not only required that the carving of each part be perfect.

It is also required that when the food sculpture is assembled, it must be assembled accurately according to the specific position of the conceived image, so that the food sculpture works are more perfect and unified, thereby highlighting the visual artistic effect of the work.

For three days, Bai Xiaobai practiced almost in seclusion, never tired of it.

He calmed down and sculpted carefully for a while. If his eyes were tired, he would drink a cup of freshly squeezed mulberry juice to nourish his eyes.

Although bird carving is technically difficult, as long as you practice more, it will basically not be a problem.

This carving is more a test of a chef's comprehension ability and aesthetic ability of art.

That is to say, for the same bird carving, a talented chef and a non-talented chef will have completely different carving effects.

Although the techniques are the same.

The effect is completely different.

The former birds are lifelike, while the latter are rigid.

Bai Xiaobai obviously belongs to the former. He used carrots and started with the simplest oriole.

Cutting, peeling, digging, digging, all in one go.

Spin, engrave, engrave, chisel, all in one go.

The wrist was strong, and the carving knife was in Bai Xiaobai's right hand, moving it flexibly and easily.

Bai Xiaobai's hands and eyes are united, and his speed is extremely fast.

Soon, the carrot in the left hand was formed in one go, transforming into a delicate bird-eating bird structure.

No matter the bird's body, wings, or tail feathers are perfect, the engraving has no gaps, and the feather lines are even clearer, almost reaching the level of fake ones.

Use a toothpick to quickly construct the individual birds, once grouped together.

Bai Xiaobai's skillful hands almost gave the carrot a second life.

A smart, lovely and energetic oriole bird was born in his hands.

In three days, Bai Xiaobai mastered the carving rooster, white dove, parrot, eagle, crane, peacock, phoenix...

He has already been able to infer other cases from one instance, and has completely mastered the knack of bird carving.
