Chapter 109
"Miss, let's try it!" Mother Lin handed an egg to Su Tao.
Looking at this small egg, Su Tao was aroused with curiosity. He took the egg and seemed to have made a lot of determination and said, "Okay! I'll try it!"
Mother Lin brought her another empty bowl and said, "Okay, miss, try it. Crack the eggs on the edge of the bowl. You don't need to use much force. Just tap it lightly."
Su Tao picked up the egg and took a deep breath, his nerves a little tense.
She took the egg and knocked it on the edge of the bowl. After looking at the egg that was still intact, she looked at Mother Lin at a loss and asked, "Mother Lin, I knocked it, why didn't it crack?"
Mother Lin smiled and said helplessly: "Miss, the force you used just now was too weak."
The egg just touched the edge of the bowl lightly, not knocked. How could there be cracks in the egg shell?
Su Tao looked at the egg and then at Mother Lin. Didn't she say that just tapping it gently would be enough?
Looking at her confused expression, Mother Lin knew what she was thinking in her heart, so she had to say: "It's okay, miss, just hit it harder this time."
Su Tao just responded slightly frustrated, "Okay, I'll try again."
He gritted his teeth, held the egg tightly, and knocked it hard on the edge of the bowl. With a click, the egg shell was indeed broken, but all the yolk and protein inside were also dropped to the outside of the bowl.
Looking at the egg entrails lying on the white tiles, Su Tao cried with a delicate little face. She looked at Mother Lin and said:
"Mama Lin, why is this different from what you knocked? It fell out before I even broke it."
Mother Lin really couldn't help but laugh. She hit the edge of the bowl with such force that of course the whole thing would break.
She shook her head, took a clean towel, swept away the fallen eggs, and then said to Su Tao, who looked frustrated and puzzled:
"Miss, don't be impatient. This is the first time. Come on, Mother Lin will hold your hand and lead her to knock it. Then she can feel how strong or weak I am.
Just use this force when knocking."
Mother Lin took her hand and gently knocked the egg on the edge of the bowl. The egg just cracked a crack. She took Su Tao's hand and broke it, and the yolk and protein fell into the bowl intact.
"Look, miss, we're coming down soon." Mother Lin said with a smile.
Su Tao looked in disbelief and said: "It's really coming down! So that's it, I know it, Mother Lin! Let me try again, I seem to know it!"
Unable to wait, Su Tao picked up the eggs and started cracking them again. Although he hadn't fully mastered the technique yet, it wasn't like he did before.
At least the yolks and whites stayed well in the bowl, albeit with some eggshells.
Mother Lin taught her how to stir egg liquid. There were four eggs in the bowl. She picked up the chopsticks and said:
"Put a little salt into the bowl, and then stir with chopsticks until the egg whites and egg whites are completely blended together." This step is by far the simplest. Su Tao didn't learn much, he just kept stirring the eggs.
Just stir.
Seeing such simplicity, Su Tao's self-confidence increased a lot.
At this time, Mother Lin was already washing the pot.
After washing the pot, Mother Lin was about to light the fire. When Su Tao saw it, he became curious and said, "Mother Lin, I'll light the fire."
"This... miss, I'll do it. This firewood is dirty
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, and carefully soiled the lady's clothes." Lin Ma declined politely. This is not something you can learn casually. If you accidentally set the kitchen on fire, it is no joke.
"Mama Lin, it's okay. I will be very careful." The master has said so, what else can Ma Lin say?
Mother Lin could only say helplessly: "Miss, be careful."
Su Tao nodded, rolled up his sleeves and went to light the fire.
After a few moments, smoke was already billowing in the kitchen. Su Tao squatted in front of the stove and kept coughing. He didn't expect that the fire was not lit, but instead made himself so embarrassed that he choked and shed tears.
Su Tao looked at the white smoke filling the room and sighed. No wonder Lin's mother wouldn't let him light a fire. This would simply kill people.
"Miss, cough cough cough... you go out and stay for a while. When the smoke in the kitchen clears, you can come in again. Ahem..." Mother Lin also choked on the smoke.
She knew that it was not that simple for the young lady to make a fire, and something would definitely happen. But she still kept telling Su Tao to go out and take shelter.
When Su Tao heard Ma Lin say this, he thought of taking shelter outside the kitchen. It seemed that he was choked by the thick smoke, so Su Tao said to himself and hurriedly ran out of the kitchen.
Mother Lin put out the fire, and it took a while for the thick smoke in the kitchen to gradually dissipate.
Su Tao walked into the kitchen and saw Mother Lin. He was a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't expect that making a fire would be really difficult."
Mother Lin smiled and said: "Miss, it's actually not difficult. Just leave this kind of thing to our servants."
When she looked up and saw Su Tao's appearance, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. The lady looked really embarrassed. Mother Lin held back her smile and said, "Miss, your face..."
Su Tao didn't know what Lin Ma's expression meant, but when she heard Lin Ma say this, she couldn't help but put her hands on her face and asked, "Lin Ma, what's wrong?"
"Miss, your face is a little dark..." Mother Lin has never seen Su Tao look like this. In her eyes, Su Tao has always looked neat and tidy.
Su Tao took the water from the wooden basin and took a closer look. Mother Lin was so subtle in what she said. What does it mean to be a little black? It means that the whole face is black.
"Miss, I'll go get you some water." Mother Lin said, then went to get some water, twisted out a clean towel, and wiped Su Tao's face clean.
Lin Ma sighed inwardly, it would probably take her a long time to cook a meal.
Su Tao has given up on making a fire. It would be nice to be able to stir-fry the vegetables. Anyway, there is no shortage of maids to make a fire in the house.
After washing up, Mother Lin got down in front of the stove and quickly lit a fire and set up firewood. After a while, the fire was lit.
Seeing Lin's nanny being so nimble, Su Tao truly realized the truth that a ruler's shortcomings and an inch's length may make him stronger.
Mother Lin had already washed the pot, put some sesame oil in it, and heard the oil sizzling in the pot.
She picked up the bowl of egg liquid, turned to Su Tao who was concentrating on the side and said:
"Miss, put the beaten egg liquid down at this time, and then stir-fry it until the eggs turn golden brown and are small and small, then you can serve it."
Su Tao watched the changes in the eggs in the pot. Sure enough, after Lin Ma stir-fried them for a while, they became what she said.
"Miss, at this time, put the scrambled eggs up and set aside, put some oil into the pot, put down the chopped tomatoes, add some salt and sugar, and start stir-frying. When you see the tomatoes gradually softening,
Then pour the eggs."
Mother Lin poured the eggs down and said
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
: "After putting the eggs down, cook them for about half a quarter of an hour and then serve them."
Mother Lin put the scrambled eggs with tomatoes in front of Su Tao and said, "Miss, look, it's ready. Isn't it easy for you?"
Su Tao reached out, pinched a piece of freshly cooked tomatoes, threw it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and said, "Yeah! It's delicious!"
"Come on, miss, try to speculate once. "
Mother Lin washed the pot, Su Tao nodded and took the spatula.
Su Tao followed Ma Lin's example and poured a little oil into the pot first.
The oil star splashed, and Su Tao ran away as if facing a formidable enemy, for fear of being splashed.
"Miss, wait until there is no water in the pot before pouring the oil. You won't have to worry about the oil splashing." Mother Lin was a little funny when she saw Su Tao running away. She didn't know and thought it was something big.
Su Tao smiled sheepishly, and when the oil stars in the pot stopped flying around, he moved closer.
When Lin Ma saw Su Tao, she still hid away and said, "Miss, don't worry, it's fine now. The oil is hot. You fry the eggs first."
Hearing what Lin's mother said, Su Tao came closer and put the eggs in. The oil pan made a sizzling sound, which made Su Tao's hands tremble in fright.
Fortunately, the oil star did not splash out.
"Miss, turn the eggs over, otherwise they will burn." Mother Lin couldn't help but remind her when she saw Su Tao just looking at the eggs and not moving the spatula in his hand.
When Su Tao reacted and turned the egg over, the other side of the egg was already burnt to black.
"Oh, Mother Lin, what should I do?" Su Tao kept calling Mother Lin when he saw the burnt eggs.
Mother Lin was a little helpless and said: "Miss, I don't want this, let's fry another one." After saying that, she stood up, shoveled out the burnt eggs and threw them aside.
This time Su Tao had a better memory and started stir-frying the eggs a moment after they were put into the pot.
Although it is still a little browned, compared to the one just now, it is really top quality.
Mother Lin doesn’t make higher demands. Who knows what unexpected results may come from doing it again.
"Miss, we can't fry anymore, we have to scoop out the eggs now." Seeing that Su Tao hadn't realized that he should scoop out the eggs, Mother Lin reminded. If he continues frying, he will make the same mistake again.
Su Tao took the plate at hand and took out the eggs.
Seeing that the appearance of the eggs was still not satisfactory, Su Tao was a little frustrated, but after all, it was his first time making something, so he still treated it with a very tolerant attitude.
"Should we fry the tomatoes next?" Su Tao asked.
"Yes, Miss. Put some oil first." Mother Lin continued to guide.
After putting in the oil, Su Tao poured the tomatoes in when the oil gradually heated up. The tomatoes had some water and made a loud noise when they were poured into the pot.
"How come there's no oil splashing out?"
Su Tao was a little curious. Didn't it say that when there is water, oil stars will splash out?
"Miss, this is because there are vegetables covering it, so oil stars won't splash out." Lin's mother explained.
Su Tao nodded, but did not dare to stop the shovel in his hand, for fear of frying the tomatoes like eggs.
Seeing Su Tao keep stir-frying, Lin's mother said: "Miss, you don't have to stir-fry so often." "It will burn it." Su Tao didn't even raise his head.
"Miss, these tomatoes have moisture, don't worry." Mother Lin deeply realized that the lady is still suitable for business.
