Mag and Anna sat in silence for more than ten minutes, separated by a water glass.
"Uncle Mag, are we going to start learning how to cook now?" Anna couldn't help but interrupt the silence in a low voice.
"Well, learning to cook is a step-by-step thing. Anna has never learned it before, so let's start with knife skills. This is the basic skill." Mag also came to his senses and wanted to teach a five or six-year-old from Cooking is not an easy task for a little girl who has never held a knife. The difficulty level is much higher than teaching Yabei Mia to make ice cream.
"Yeah, okay." Anna stood up, nodded, her eyes full of anticipation.
"I hope this enthusiasm can last a little longer." Mag thought in his heart, being motivated is a good thing. After all, he almost drove himself crazy while chopping vegetables in the Master of Cookery training ground. He deeply understood the practice Knife making is such a boring thing.
"System, give me a set of small aprons and a set of small knives suitable for Anna." Mag said in her mind as she walked towards the kitchen.
"After judging by this system, the trainee is too young and does not have the physical conditions to become a chef. It is recommended that the host does not accept him as a disciple!" The system's warning sounded.
"Then you chose a disabled person with all his limbs disabled." Mag rolled his eyes.
"Although the host's body was disabled at the time, this body had great potential, so it was selected by this system." The system retorted.
"Now I think Anna has great potential to become an excellent chef when she grows up, so I want to teach her how to cook. There is nothing wrong with this logic, right?" Mag said with a smile.
"emmm..."
The system fell into silence.
"Make a price, I don't have time to hang around here with you." Mag interrupted the system's silence.
"A small apron and a set of scaled-down kitchen utensils. The total is 1,001 copper coins. Since the host has a good reputation recently, this system reluctantly erases the fraction. The total is 1,000 copper coins." The system was silent for a while, looking heartbroken. The tone said.
"Deal." Mag thought for a moment, didn't bother to bargain, and nodded directly.
"Ding! The 1,000 copper coins have been deducted successfully. The apron and kitchen utensils are being customized and will be delivered in three minutes. Please confirm the delivery location."
"Just put it on the counter. If there is another delivery error, I will return it!" Mag said coldly. With this damn system, people often don't care when delivering items.
Mag's eyes glanced around the kitchen. This was an adult's kitchen. Both the size of the kitchen utensils and the height of the stove were somewhat out of reach for Anna.
Then Mag's eyes fell on the small bench aside, which was usually used by Amy to rest her feet when washing her hands.
Since Anna wants to learn how to cook, not play house, it is best not to make the kitchen a DIY type, which does not appear solemn and serious enough.
Therefore, she should be allowed to adapt to the kitchen, rather than the kitchen adapting to her.
"Anna, try this little bench and see how high it is when you stand on it." Mag turned around and waved to Anna who was standing at the door.
Anna obediently climbed onto the small bench. The little guy was about a head taller than Amy, so standing on the small bench with her hands just above the height of the stove, it was not a problem to chop vegetables or something.
"Very good. From today on, this will be your workbench." Mag nodded with satisfaction. It is at least enough for the knife-working contact stage.
Hearing the system's arrival notification, Mag smiled and said, "Anna, come out with me. I have two small gifts for you."
"Hmm." Anna followed Mag out of the kitchen with some curiosity.
Mag first took out a small pink apron from the counter, accompanied by a pink hood.
"So beautiful." Anna's eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at the apron in Mag's hand.
"There will be a lot of oil fumes in the kitchen, so we need to wear an apron to prevent the clothes from being contaminated by oil. Anna, let's try it on first to see if it fits." Mag smiled and helped Anna put on the apron. On the body.
Anna was wearing a light blue skirt today, which was very close-fitting, so it was just right to wear the apron directly outside.
Wearing a pink apron and her hair wrapped in a pink flying hood, Anna stood there like a little chef.
"Well, it looks really good, and it fits just right." Mag nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Uncle Mag." Anna looked down at her apron with a smile on her face.
"Besides the apron, I have a gift for you." Mag took out a dark brown wooden box from the counter, squatted in front of Anna again, and opened the lid at once.
"Wow!"
The bright light of the knife was a bit dazzling, but Anna's eyes widened and she stared unblinkingly at the knives in the box that were slightly smaller than normal knives.
"These...are these really all given to me?"
Anna looked up at Mag in disbelief.
"Of course, owning your own set of knives is the first step to becoming a chef." Mag nodded with a smile.
"Thank you... thank you." Anna's eyes suddenly turned red and she bowed deeply to Mag.
"I'm super strict when it comes to cooking. You'll probably think I'm hateful in the future." Mag smiled and ruffled the little guy's hair. The little guy was so sensible, which made people feel sorry for him.
"No, I will definitely learn to cook." Anna shook her head seriously, holding the box of knives in her arms.
"Then let's start learning knife skills. The so-called knife skills are to use a knife to process the ingredients into the desired shape. For example, when making Yangzhou fried rice, you need to cut all the ingredients into rice-sized pieces." Mag opened the refrigerator. , looked at Anna, and closed the refrigerator again.
I took two potatoes I bought from the vegetable market today from the washing table on the side. After washing them, I put one of them in front of Anna, and the other on the cutting board in front of me. From the knife rest He took out the gold-rimmed kitchen knife, suppressed his smile, and said with a serious expression: "Now, let's cut this potato into rice-sized pieces."
"What should we do?" Anna stood on the small bench and looked at Mag attentively. It was incredible how such a big round potato could be cut into the size of rice grains.
"Watch it." Mag reminded. The kitchen knife fell, and a thin potato slice was cut off. Then the second and third knives fell down again. The potato slices were evenly thin and thick, as if measured with a ruler. Usually cut out.
The kitchen knife makes a steady and even clicking sound on the cutting board. The speed is not very fast, but it makes people feel calm and comfortable.
Soon, the thin potato slices turned into thin strands, and then into golden particles the size of rice grains.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Anna's eyes widened and she looked at Mag with admiration, her eyes filled with little stars.
