Meg and Anna sat with a glass of water between them, staring at each other in silence for more than ten minutes.
"Uncle Meg, are we going to start learning how to cook now?" Anna couldn't help but break the silence in a low voice.
"Yes, learning how to cook is a gradual process. Anna has never learned before, so let's start with knife skills. This is a basic skill." Meg also came back to his senses. It was not an easy task to teach a five- or six-year-old girl who had never held a knife to cook. The difficulty level was much higher than teaching Yabemiya how to make ice cream.
"Okay, okay." Anna stood up and nodded. Her eyes were filled with anticipation.
"I hope this enthusiasm can be maintained for a long time." Meg thought to himself. Having enthusiasm was a good thing. After all, when he was chopping vegetables in the test field for the God of Cookery, he almost went crazy. He deeply understood how boring it was to practice knife skills.
"System, give me a small apron and a set of small knives suitable for Anna," Meg said in his heart as he walked towards the kitchen.
"According to the system's judgment, the trainee is too young to be a chef. It is recommended that the host does not accept her as a disciple!" The system's warning sounded.
"Then why did you choose a disabled person?" Meg rolled his eyes.
"Although the host's body was disabled at that time, this body had great potential. That was why the system chose her," the system retorted.
"Now that I think Anna has great potential to become an excellent chef when she grows up, I want to teach her how to cook. There's nothing wrong with this logic, right?" Meg said with a smile.
"Erm …"
The system fell into silence.
"Give me a price. I don't have time to dawdle with you," Meg interrupted the system's silence.
"A small apron and a set of scaled-down kitchen utensils. The total is 1001 copper coins. In view of the host's good reputation, the system reluctantly erased the small change. The total is 1000 copper coins," the system was silent for a while and said with a painful tone.
"Deal." Meg thought for a while and was too lazy to bargain. He directly nodded.
"Ding! 1,000 copper coins have been successfully deducted. The apron and kitchen utensils are in the process of being ordered. They will be delivered in three minutes. Host, please confirm the delivery location. "
"Just put it on the counter. If there's another delivery error, I'll return it!" Meg said coldly. This damn system, it was always careless when delivering items.
Meg glanced around the kitchen. This was an adult's kitchen. The size of the kitchenware and the height of the stove were beyond Anna's reach.
Then Meg's gaze fell on the small stool at the side, which was usually used by Amy to step on when she washed her hands.
Since Anna wanted to learn how to cook and not play house, then it would be best not to make the kitchen into a DIY type, which would make it seem undignified and unserious.
Therefore, he should let her adapt to the kitchen, not let the kitchen adapt to her.
"Anna, try this small stool and see how high it is when you stand on it." Meg turned around and waved at Anna, who was standing at the door.
Anna obediently climbed onto the small stool. The little girl was about a head taller than Amy, so when she stood on the small stool, her hands were just above the height of the stove. Cutting vegetables was not a problem for her.
"Very good. From today onwards, this will be your workbench." Meg nodded with satisfaction. At least it was enough for the knife skills stage.
Hearing the system's prompt, Meg smiled and said, "Anna, come out with me. I have two small gifts for you."
"Okay." Anna curiously followed Meg out of the kitchen.
Meg first took out a pink apron from the counter, accompanied by a pink hood.
"It's so beautiful." Anna's eyes lit up when she saw the apron in Meg's hand.
"There will be a lot of oil and smoke in the kitchen, so we need to wear an apron to prevent our clothes from being stained by oil. Anna, try it on and see if it fits." Meg smiled and helped Anna put on the apron.
Anna was wearing a light blue dress today, which was very tight, so it was just right to put the apron on.
Wearing the pink apron and her hair was wrapped in a pink hood, Anna stood there, just like a little cook.
"Well, it's really beautiful, and it fits you just right." Meg nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Uncle Mag." Anna looked down at her little apron with a smile on her face.
"Other than the apron, I have a gift for you." Meg took out a dark brown wooden box from the counter, squatted in front of Anna again, and opened the lid.
"Wow!"
The shiny knives were a little dazzling, but Anna opened her eyes wide and stared at the knives in the box, which were slightly smaller than normal knives.
"Are … are these really for me?"
Anna raised her head and looked at Meg in disbelief.
"Of course. Having your own set of knives is the first step to becoming a chef." Meg nodded with a smile.
"Thank you … thank you." Anna's eyes turned red immediately, and she bowed deeply to Meg.
"I'm super strict when it comes to cooking. You'll probably think I'm despicable in the future." Meg smiled and rubbed the little girl's hair. The little girl was so sensible that it made people feel sorry for her.
"No, I'll definitely learn to cook well." Anna shook her head seriously, holding the box of knives in her arms.
"Then let's start with knife skills. The so-called knife skills are to use a knife to process the ingredients into the desired shape. For example, when cooking Yangzhou fried rice, you need to cut all the ingredients into the size of rice grains." Meg opened the refrigerator, looked at Anna, and then closed it again.
He took two potatoes that he had bought from the market today from the counter. After washing them, he placed one in front of Anna and the other on the chopping board in front of him. He pulled out the gold-rimmed kitchen knife from the knife rack and said with a serious expression, "Now, let's cut this potato into the size of a grain of rice."
"How should I do it?" Anna stood on the small stool, and looked at Meg attentively. How could such a big round potato be cut into the size of rice grains? It was unbelievable.
"Watch carefully." Meg reminded her. The kitchen knife fell, and a thin potato slice was cut off. Then, the second and third slices fell, and the potato slices of uniform thickness were cut out as if they had been measured with a ruler.
The kitchen knife made steady and even sounds on the chopping board. The speed was not fast, but it made people feel steady and comfortable.
Soon, the potato slices turned into thin filaments, and then into golden granules the size of rice grains.
"Wow, so awesome!"
