MEG and Anna sat in silence for more than ten minutes across a glass of water.
"Uncle McGonagall, are we going to start cooking now?" Anna could not help but break the silence in a low voice.
"Well, it's a step-by-step process to learn how to cook. Anna hasn't learned it before. Let's start with knife work. This is the basic skill." McGonagall also came back to his senses. It was not easy to teach a five or six-year-old girl who had never held a knife to cook. The difficulty level was much higher than that of teaching abelmia to make ice cream.
"Yes, yes." Anna stood up and nodded, her eyes full of anticipation.
"I hope this enthusiasm can last a little longer." McGonagall thought to himself that it was a good thing to have enthusiasm. After all, he almost cut himself crazy when he was cutting vegetables in the kitchen god testing ground. He deeply understood how boring it was to practice knife work.
"System, give me a small apron and a small knife for Anna." Meg said to himself as he walked to the kitchen.
"According to the judgment of this system, the trainee is too young to be a cook. It is suggested that the host should not accept him as an apprentice!" The system sounds a warning.
"Then you chose a disabled person who had no hands and feet at all." MEG rolled his eyes.
"Although the host's body was disabled at that time, it had great potential, so it was selected by this system." The system retorts.
"Now I think Anna has great potential to be a good cook when she grows up, so I want to teach her how to cook. Is that right?" Meg said with a smile.
“emmm……”
The system fell into silence.
"Make an offer. I don't have time for you to linger here." MEG interrupted the silence of the system.
"A small apron, a set of reduced version kitchen utensils, a total of 1001 copper coins, in view of the host has a good reputation recently, so the system will bear to erase the odd, a total of 1000 copper coins." The system was silent for a while, with a painful voice.
"Deal." McGonagall thought for a moment, but he didn't bother to bargain. He nodded directly.
"Ding! 1000 copper coins deducted successfully. Apron and kitchenware are being customized. They can be delivered in three minutes. Please confirm the receiving place. "
"It's in the counter. If there's another delivery error, I'll return it!" McGonagall said coldly that this ghost system often doesn't pay attention when delivering goods.
McGonagall's eyes swept around the kitchen. This is an adult kitchen. No matter the size of the kitchen utensils or the height of the stove, it's not enough for Anna.
Then McGonagall's eyes fell on the bench, which Amy used to pad her feet when she washed her hands.
Since Anna is to learn to cook, rather than play, the kitchen is best not to make DIY type, it is not serious and serious enough.
So, we should let her adapt to the kitchen, not let the kitchen adapt to her.
"Anna, try this little bench. How high is it?" MEG turned and waved to Anna, who was standing at the door.
Anna cleverly climbed up the small bench, the little guy is about a head higher than Amy, so standing on the small bench, her hands just exceed the height of the stove, so cutting vegetables is no problem.
"Good. From today on, this is your workbench." McGonagall nodded with satisfaction, at least enough in the stage of knife contact.
Hearing the sound of the system's arrival, McGonagall said with a smile, "Anna, come out with me. I have two small gifts for you."
"Well." Anna followed MEG out of the kitchen curiously.
MEG took out a pink apron from the counter with a pink hood on it.
"It's beautiful." Anna's eyes lit up as she looked at Meg's apron.
"There will be a lot of lampblack in the kitchen, so we need to put on an apron to prevent the clothes from being contaminated by oil. Anna should try it on first to see if it fits." MEG smiles and helps Anna put on her apron.
Anna is wearing a light blue skirt today, which is very close to the body, so it's just right to put the apron on the outside.
Wearing a pink apron and her hair wrapped in a pink hood, Anna stood there like a little cook.
"Well, it's beautiful, and it just fits." MEG nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you, uncle McGonagall." Anna looked down at her apron with a smile on her face.
"Besides the apron, I have a present for you." MEG took out a dark brown wooden box from the counter, squatted down in front of Anna again, and opened the lid.
"Wow
The bright light of the knife was a little harsh, but Anna widened her eyes and stared at a knife in the box that was slightly smaller than the normal one.
"Are these... Are these really for me?"
Anna looked up 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 and she bowed to MEG.
"Cooking, I'm super strict. You'll think I'm hateful in the future." McGonagall rubbed the little guy's hair with a smile. The little guy was too sensible to be pitied.
"No, I will definitely learn how to cook." Anna shook her head seriously, holding the box of knives in her arms.
"Let's start with the knife work. The so-called knife work is to make the ingredients look like they need. For example, when cooking Yangzhou fried rice, we need to cut all kinds of ingredients into the size of rice grains." MEG opens the refrigerator, looks at Anna, and closes it again.
I took two potatoes from today's vegetable market from one side of the washing table. After cleaning, I put one of them in front of Anna and the other on the cutting board in front of me. I took out the golden edge kitchen knife from the knife rest, put a smile on it, and said seriously: "now, let's cut this potato into rice size."
"What should I do?" Anna stood on the small bench, absorbed in watching MEG, such a big round potato, how can be cut into the size of rice, it is incredible.
"Watch it." McGonagall gave a hint. The chopper fell, and a thin potato chip was cut off. Then the second knife and the third knife fell down again, and a thin potato chip with uniform thickness was cut out as if it had been measured with a ruler.
The chopper makes a steady and even sound on the cutting board. The speed is not fast, but it makes people feel calm and comfortable.
Soon, the potato flakes turned into filaments, and then into golden grains the size of rice grains.
"Wow, that's great!"
Anna widened her eyes and looked at MEG with adoration. Her eyes were full of little stars.
