Different God of Cooking [Rebirth]

Rongcheng in 1992 was undoubtedly in a period of change. Although it was not as tall as later generations, there were already many buildings with modern designs, which made the city look vibrant.

The small western-style building in front of Zhao An was obviously built not long ago. After knowing the advantages of reform/opening up and the market/economy, Chinese people's enthusiasm for Western countries has increased a lot, and they no longer regard them as class/class enemies , but an object that should be learned and imitated.In this case, Western-style buildings are the favorite of the rich.

Sure enough, Ji Jiashu was born in a wealthy family, otherwise it would be impossible for the family to have such an expensive instrument as a piano.

However, Zhao An was still a little curious, why did Ji Jiashu have a piano, and why did he need someone to teach him the piano himself?No matter how rich you are these days, you won't be able to buy a piano and put it at home as a decoration.

"Come to my house, come in quickly." Ji Jiashu took out the key from his trousers pocket to open the door, and then dragged Zhao An into the room.

Zhao An put on the slippers Ji Jiashu handed over, and then walked into Ji Jiashu's house.

Although it is a western-style small western-style building, Ji Jiashu's home decoration does not deliberately pursue the so-called European style or American style. Simple and practical furniture, yellow and red furniture make the whole house look warm and comfortable.

Ji Jiashu's parents should be very gentle people, Zhao An suddenly came to such a conclusion in his mind.

When Zhao An was looking at the house, Ji Jiashu came over with a glass of water and handed it to Zhao An: "Drink some water, it's too hot outside." Then Ji Jiashu ran to turn on the fan again, looking enthusiastic Hospitable look.

Moreover, every move of Ji Jiashu made Zhao An feel that Ji Jiashu really welcomes him, and emotions are really contagious, which made Zhao An's depressed mood clear up a lot.

Zhao An came to the study room led by Ji Jiashu, and saw today's protagonist an upright piano.The exterior of the piano is covered in brown paint, though it has begun to peel away in places, revealing the solid yellow-red maple inside.It appears that this piano has seen some age.

However, pianos are not as easy to age as ordinary home appliances. It is not difficult to preserve a well-made piano and regular tuning maintenance for decades.

Let's take a look at the maintenance of this piano first, but Zhao An is not going to do it himself.

Zhao An said to Ji Jiashu, "Sit on the piano chair."

After Ji Jiashu sat down, Zhao An opened the key cover and continued, "Let me teach you the basic posture of playing the piano first."

The last time I saw Ji Jiashu pressing keys sequentially with one finger, Zhao An knew that Ji Jiashu's piano foundation was basically zero, so he had to start from scratch.

"Sit up straight, relax your whole body, put your hands on the keys... keep your elbows and wrists below the keyboard... and your legs, put your feet here..."

Zhao An told Ji Jiashu the posture requirements, and at the same time corrected Ji Jiashu's posture with his own hands.At this time, Zhao An's perfectionism and paranoia can be clearly seen, demanding that every part of Ji Jiashu's body meet the standard.

You must know that many people have practiced the piano for several years, and they also have various problems in posture, such as leaning the body and hunched back... It is conceivable how difficult it is for an 11-year-old boy with an active nature to achieve the standard posture matter.

Fortunately, Ji Jiashu has always been tall and straight, coupled with his obedience to Zhao An's guidance and requirements, he can meet Zhao An's requirements.

This process has taken more than ten minutes. After Zhao An saw that Ji Jiashu had met his requirements, he began to teach Ji Jiashu to do the first thing, which was to play the 88 keys of the piano without any chords, even Arpeggios are not even counted, but simply press the 88 keys in equal length from left to right.

In order to improve the enthusiasm of beginners, the instructor usually chooses to teach through the simplest repertoire when teaching piano, such as "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle" and "Ode to Joy" such songs whose main chords do not exceed one and a half octaves to teach.

But Zhao An thinks that this step is completely unnecessary for Ji Jiashu. First, Ji Jiashu is quite mature in Zhao An's eyes and can calm down. Secondly, Ji Jiashu's musical talent makes Zhao An not want to waste any money.So he chose a more systematic teaching method.

Although Zhao An didn't want to face the piano again, after agreeing to Ji Jiashu, he seriously thought about and planned his teaching plan for Ji Jiashu.

Ji Jiashu’s movements of playing the piano were still a bit rusty, and the length and strength of the keys were obviously different, but Zhao An’s goal had been achieved. The 88 scales sounded one after the other, which exceeded Zhao An’s expectation, and the pitch of the piano was not that big. The problem is that it is far better in tune than the piano in the school music classroom. This piano seems to be well maintained.

Moreover, the timbre of the piano is also very clear, which is not comparable to the inferior pianos made by domestic piano manufacturers in the 70s and [-]s. In all likelihood, they were purchased from overseas.

Faced with such a piano, Zhao An was also a little excited. He is familiar with the development history of Huaxia pianos, and he knows the status of such a piano in the history of music.

Zhao An even wanted to play it himself to feel its history and charm.Just when Zhao An's fingers were about to approach the black and white keys, reason and memory forcibly pulled him back to reality.Mingming made up his mind that even if he taught Ji Jiashu to play the piano, he would not be able to play the piano again.

But now Zhao An's doubts became more obvious. Why did someone in Ji Jiashu's family know how to play the piano, but he didn't have any piano foundation, so he had to teach him by himself.

But Zhao An is not a person who likes to delve into other people's family affairs. If he has any doubts, he will forcefully press it, and then continue to teach Ji Jiashu the basic knowledge of the piano.

The basic fingering of the piano, the position of C major, each key corresponds to the symbol in the numbered notation... When talking about this, Zhao An asked Ji Jiashu to bring a pen and paper, write down the basic symbols of the numbered notation, and then draw the staff Explain.

Zhao An thought that the music textbooks for the fifth grade already included numbered notation and music theory, so this part should not be too difficult for Ji Jiashu.

Who knew that Ji Jiashu, who had been listening to the class carefully just now, suddenly said, "Zhao An, look at you for your handwriting."

Only at this time did Zhao An realize that he was accidentally too relaxed in his lectures, and even wrote with his adult handwriting that he had practiced for many years. Even if his hands were not fully developed and his writing power was insufficient, it was not at all like an 11-year-old child could write.

Sure enough, as soon as he touched the piano, he would become relaxed. It was like this in the music classroom last time, and it was also like this in Ji Jiashu's house this time.

"It's nothing, if you practice the piano more and your fingers are strong, you can do it." Zhao An quickly made up a lie, and after seeing Ji Jiashu believe it without hesitation, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

However, this little bit of guilt was quickly forgotten by Zhao An, and he once again devoted himself to explaining the basic piano knowledge to Ji Jiashu.

Of course, Zhao An would not be so stupid as to teach the theoretical knowledge all the time. After explaining the basic knowledge, Zhao An began to let Ji Jiashu try to play "Ode to Joy".

He also taught "Ode to Joy", but at this time Ji Jiashu already understood what is called the key of C, and knew that he could play it up and down an octave.

What Zhao An did at this time was to constantly correct Ji Jiashu's fingering.One of the most annoying mistakes for beginners is to use one finger to play, especially for songs with a simple rhythm like "Ode to Joy", which can be easily played with one finger.

Once Zhao An found that Ji Jiashu's gesture was wrong, he would use his own hand to correct Ji Jiashu's hand.Both of them took it for granted, and there was nothing inappropriate.

Although he has been corrected by Zhao An and made various demands, Ji Jiashu is not unhappy at all, and he likes Zhao An's teaching very much.

He didn't know how good Zhao An's guidance was, but he could feel that Zhao An was serious and unreserved when he guided him.

After more than 20 minutes of hard work, Ji Jiashu was finally able to play "Ode to Joy" intermittently in a standard posture. The tree is also very happy.

He excitedly said to Zhao An: "I can play the piano now!"

Even if Zhao An mercilessly poured cold water on him and said: "You are still far from being able to play the piano." It would not dampen Ji Jiashu's enthusiasm at all.

Because Ji Jiashu has been able to play the main theme of a simple piece, today's teaching goal has basically been achieved.

Zhao An felt a dry cough in his throat, raised the water glass beside him and took a few sips, and looked at the clock only to find that two hours had passed.

Neither of them noticed the passage of time, they were too involved in teaching/learning the piano.

Zhao An promised that Zhao's mother would go back and Zhao's mother would go back to eat, so she proposed to leave.Although Ji Jiashu was a bit reluctant, he did not force Zhao An to stay, but he proposed to send Zhao An back to school, fearing that Zhao An would get lost.

On the way to school, Zhao An once again emphasized to Ji Jiashu that no one should say anything about how he taught him to play the piano today, otherwise he would never pay attention to him again.

Although this kind of coercion is a bit naive, it is quite practical for Ji Jiashu, he nodded frequently like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Also, we have agreed before that I will teach you four more times at most, and I will not teach you again when you learn the basics of the piano. During this time, you should practice playing the main string with your right hand, and don't be so ambitious , and the posture must be standard?" Zhao An couldn't help but say a few more words when they were separated at the school gate, he saw Ji Jiashu's talent in music and today's hard work.

Then who knew that Ji Jiashu didn't answer Zhao An's topic at all, but hurriedly asked: "Then don't ask you to teach me how to play the piano, can I ask you to play?"

Anxiety and uneasiness were written all over her small face, knowing that getting close to someone like Ji Jiashu would mean trouble, but Zhao An couldn't help but nodded in the end.

"Yeah!" Ji Jiashu yelled happily, but this time he didn't jump up, but hugged Zhao An tightly and said, "That's great."

No one noticed that Zhao An's ears turned red quietly, even its owner couldn't control it.
