My skilled hands, my shoulders, my feet, my knees and my knife are all in harmony. Mulberry dance is a classic first encounter. Wen said, "Hey, good! So much for technical coverage? " My master put a knife on him and said, "I am good at what I do, and my technology is advanced." When the first minister solved the cow, he saw nothing but the cow. I haven't seen all the cows for three years. At this time, I saw God instead of looking at him. Zhi Zhi was an official and wanted to do something. Heaven naturally criticizes and guides the big. Technology and experience are not bad, but the situation is very bad! A good man is a better cutter; There are many knives and many folds in the family month. Today, I killed thousands of cows with my sword for nineteen years, but if the blade is new. There is a gap between people for a while, but the blade is not thick; Without thickness, there will be room for recovery, so 19 years, the blade is still new. Although, as for the competition, I think it is difficult, it is a warning that it is too late to act now. The knife is very small, and what should be solved has been solved, such as land. Stand with a knife, look around, aim high, and hide it with a knife. " Wen Huijun said, "It's good that I can stay healthy after listening to my words."

There is a chef named Ding who specializes in slaughtering cattle. Wherever his hands touch, his shoulders rest, his feet step on, and his knees stand, he makes a sound of separation of flesh and blood, and the knife goes in, making a louder noise. All these sounds are not out of tune. In tune with the dance rhythm accompanied by Sang Lin and Jing Shou. Liang said, "Hey! All right! How can your technology be so clever? " My master put down the knife and replied, "I am exploring the law of things, which has surpassed the pursuit of cattle slaughter technology." At first, I didn't know the body structure of the cow, but I only saw the whole cow. After three years, I will never see the whole cow again. Now, when a courtier slaughters a cow, he only needs to touch the cow's body with his spirit, instead of looking at it with his eyes, just as his vision has stopped moving and he is moving with his mental will. Along the grain structure of cattle, splitting the big gap between bones and muscles, and making knives along the holes between joints are all along the original structure of cattle. The knife for slaughtering cattle has never touched the place where the meridians are connected, nor has it touched the place where the muscles attached to the bones gather, let alone the big bones in the thighs. Skilled chefs change a knife every year because they use it to cut meat. Ordinary chefs change a knife every month because it is used to cut bones. Now the servant's knife has been used for 19 years, killing thousands of cows, but the blade looks like it has just been ground from the grindstone. There are cracks in the joints of cattle, but the blade is not thick. If you use such a thin blade to pierce a seam with a gap, you must be generous and have room to operate the blade. Therefore, after using 19 years, the blade still looks like it has just been ground from the grindstone. Even so, every time I meet a place where bones and muscles are intertwined, I am afraid and cautious when I see that it is difficult to get a knife, my eyes are focused and my movements are slow. The knife moved gently, and the flesh and blood separated with a crash, like a pile of mud scattered on the ground. I stood there, knife in hand, looking around proudly for this success, looking carefree and satisfied. Wipe the knife clean and put it away. "The beam said," good! I listened to my words and learned the way of keeping in good health. "
