“No problem.” Jon nodded and picked up the kitchen knife.
He watched his sister work hard in the kitchen and prepare dinner. Jon could not sit by and enjoy the fruits of her labor.
He would still help if he could.
Hearing Jon agree, Sandy felt warm in her heart. Her brother had been very sensible since young. He would not cause trouble for her and often helped her.
Sandy’s gaze was gentle as she warned, “Be careful when you cut the vegetables. Don’t hurt yourself.”
“You can cut them slowly. Don’t be impatient. Understand?”
Sandy felt a little guilty in her heart.
Jon was only a high school student. How would he know how to cut vegetables?
If she was not in a rush, she would not have let Jon do such a dangerous thing.
After repeatedly reminding him, she walked to another room and went to get the seasoning.
“I got it, sister. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”
Jon picked up the potatoes and began to slice them.
He wasn’t worried about getting cut by the knife.
Because before he reincarnated, Jon had studied food. Cutting vegetables was even more common.
“Ding! host, pick up the knife. [ Culinary ] experience increased!”
At this moment, the system’s voice sounded in Jon’s mind.
Jon raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He really didn’t expect the system to gain experience for everything he did.
This system was really all-rounded.
[ Culinary ] was similar to [ Learning ]. It didn’t limit to a specific ability and cover every aspect in culinary.
In other words, with the continuous increase of [ Culinary ] , Jon’s ability to cut vegetables, cook, taste delicacies, and even able to distinguish the original taste of the ingredients would be improved!
Jon picked up the knife and began to cut the potatoes.
At the same time, his experience points continued to increase.
Soon, his experience bar was full.
“Ding! Congratulations, your [ Culinary ] ability has been upgraded!”
As the sound rang out, Jon felt a change in his body.
First of all, many cooking skills appeared in his mind.
He had a certain level of understanding of the dishes of any country, and he could make corresponding delicacies.
He was like a moving recipe book, collecting many recipes in his mind.
He even knew how to make some dishes that had been lost for generations.
Not only did his cooking skills change, Jon felt that his hand movement had also changed. They were extremely light and agile.
His fingers flew like butterflies on the tip of the knife.
His cutting speed was much faster than before.
In the blink of an eye, Jon had already cut the ingredients that needed to be cut.
He had also cut them neatly, and they were of the same size.
[ Culinary ] not only improved his knife skills, but also his cooking skills. Even Jon’s food presentation skill was on the level of a chef.
He picked up the cut fruit and used it to decorate the plate.
He had only placed the food on the plate, but there was a huge change in Jon.
The dish looked like a vivid and beautiful painting.
At this moment, Sandy returned to the kitchen.
She was worried that Jon would accidentally cut his finger, so she rushed back as soon as she found the seasoning.
She looked at Jon, who was cutting vegetables, and said, “Jon, you can cut the vegetables slowly. There’s no need to rush.”
“I’m almost done here. You go and rest. I’ll cut the vegetables.”
Sandy’s eyes widened in disbelief as soon as she finished speaking.
Because Jon had already cut all the ingredients.
She clearly remembered that Jon had never make a dish before, and it was even his first time holding a knife.
This time, he was only asked to help at the last minute.
Unexpectedly, not only did he finish the task, but he also finished it so quickly.
How much time had passed since she left the kitchen to look for seasonings?
It seemed to be less than five minutes.
In other words, in five minutes, Jon had finished all the ingredients? !
Sandy was a little surprised.
Louis hired her to be the kitchen helper was because of her fast cutting speed.
But now Sandy thought that if she were to cut the vegetables, it would take half an hour to cut all the ingredients.
She couldn’t do it as fast as Jon.
What surprised Sandy the most was that while Jon was very fast, the ingredients were cut neatly without any problems. Every piece of potato was the same size.
Put them on the dinner plate, it was very nice to look at.
Rather than saying that it was food, it was more like a work of art. She even had an impulse to frame it and hung on wall.
Sandy was a little surprised. Since when did Jon have such good knife skills and the ability to decorate dishes?
However, Sandy did not care about these things at the moment.
What she was most concerned about was whether Jon was injured.
If Jon hurt himself when helping her cut the vegetables, she would definitely blame herself.
“It’s very dangerous to cut this fast. Let me see your hands!”
Sandy walked forward, grabbed Jon’s hands, and kept examining them.
She checked them very carefully and did not miss a single part of Jon’s hands. She was deeply afraid that Jon would get hurt.
She knew that with Jon’s simple and honest personality, he would definitely not say anything even if he got hurt.
“Sister, I’m fine.” Jon said with a smile.
Jon’s heart was very warm.
Because before he reincarnated, Jon had grown up in an orphanage and did not have any relatives like his sister.
Now that he felt Sandy’s concern, he knew what it was like to have a family.
Seeing that Jon’s hand was fine, Sandy heaved a sigh of relief.
However, she did not look happy. Instead, her face turned stern.
She said earnestly, “Although we are in a hurry, we have not fallen to such a desperate state. Next time, you are not allowed to cut vegetables like this. It’s too dangerous!”
Although Sandy’s tone was stern, Jon knew that she was concerned about him.
“Sandy, I got this.” Jon smiled.
He had the [ Culinary] ability, so he could cut vegetables with his eyes closed without hurting himself. Sandy’s worries were completely unnecessary.
And as his [ Culinary ] level increased, Jon’s mind was not only focused on improving his cooking skills.
He could see problems with other people’s cooking skills at a glance.
For example, when Sandy was cutting vegetables, there was a serious problem with her method.
Her cutting speed wasn’t that fast. And it was easy to hurt her hand.
In order to allay Sandy’s worries and make sure that she wouldn’t hurt herself in the future, Jon decided to teach her the method of cutting vegetables.
But he couldn’t teach her directly either.
Because in Sandy’s understanding, he was a rookie chef who had never cut vegetables before.
If he suddenly showed off his cooking skills, Sandy would definitely be shocked. Then, she would ask how he got his cooking skills.
It would be troublesome to explain.
So, Jon made up an excuse. “I learned a method to cut vegetables in a short clip before, and it worked quite well. The reason why I could cut so many vegetables so quickly and well in such a short time was because of that method.”
“And the way you cut vegetables before was very problematic. Not only was it slow, but it was also easy to hurt yourself
“Use the method I learned. You should hold the knife like this…” Jon began to teach.
