These passages narrate the early career of a young man named Ah Hsi, who unexpectedly found work in a large Japanese bakery despite having no prior experience. The texts highlight his journey from a seemingly unremarkable newcomer to a respected member of the team, particularly focusing on a pivotal moment where he utilized his ancestral knowledge of traditional healing methods to aid an ailing Japanese master baker. Furthermore, the text describes a remarkable instance where, through a seemingly mystical connection or intuition, Ah Hsi was able to instantly grasp and replicate the master baker's complex bread-making techniques, achieving perfect consistency and demonstrating a profound, almost spiritual, understanding of the craft. This experience, along with the urgency from his family to return home and take over their martial arts and healing practice, leads him to make the difficult decision to leave his burgeoning bakery career to fulfill his familial duty and embrace the "Way" that he has now connected with. Ultimately, these excerpts depict Ah Hsi's initial experiences in the bakery world as a period of intense learning and spiritual awakening, where he integrates his diverse skills and inner wisdom.
