Chapter 105 First Time Cooking
Chapter 105 First Time Cooking
"You want to learn to cook?"
Feng Shuyuan was stunned for a moment.
But on second thought, it seems that their idea is quite reasonable.
Especially today, after they participated in the dumpling-making process themselves, it's not surprising that they had this thought.
The fourth brother nodded vigorously, his eyes shining with determination.
Feng Shuyuan sat up straight and smiled slightly:
"Tell me, how many other people want to learn?"
The fourth brother's face stiffened.
She never expected that Boss Feng had seen through their thoughts completely.
"My siblings and I... all want to learn."
She answered shyly, a hint of unease in her heart, yet a trace of anticipation in her eyes.
They all felt that they shouldn't be asking for so much.
But they also wanted to learn a skill and do something within their capabilities.
"Why be so reserved? It's a good thing that you want to learn."
Feng Shuyuan beckoned the fourth brother to her bedside.
"Are the others near the door? Let's come over together."
The door opened, and seven little heads peeked in.
"Everyone come in."
Feng Shuyuan called the children to his bedside.
"Just tell me what you want to learn."
Feng Shuyuan said to them with a smile.
"It will be the same when Anwar arrives in the future."
“Anhua may have many things you want to learn. If you want to learn anything, just tell the dean and I will have her arrange it.”
"However, you need to remember one thing: you can't give up halfway through learning something, understand?"
Hearing Feng Shuyuan say this, the children all showed expressions of joy.
Boss Feng is such a good person. He not only didn't blame them for wanting to learn the skills, but he also comforted them.
"Understood! Thank you, Boss Feng! We will definitely study hard!"
"Alright, you don't need to be so cautious all the time. In the future, other children may join you. At that time, you will really be big brothers and sisters."
Since he was going to set up an orphanage, Feng Shuyuan wasn't going to do it on a small scale.
I was just about to travel along the border, so what could be a better time to collect these orphans?
"The new kids are probably going to be in your care."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Ying Ziping was a kind-hearted person; otherwise, he wouldn't have adopted so many children when he was all alone.
The task assigned to him by Feng Shuyuan this time was undoubtedly the most suitable for him.
Having said almost everything he needed to say, Feng Shuyuan waved his hand:
"Alright, go back to sleep early. Since you want to learn how to cook, come to the restaurant and wait for me tomorrow morning."
The children left, expressing their deepest gratitude.
Ji Lu, lying on another bed, teased Feng Shuyuan:
"So many people want to learn Anhua's skills, but Boss Feng passed them on to these homeless children so easily. I wonder how many people will be heartbroken because of this."
Feng Shuyuan rolled her eyes at her.
"Come on, don't talk like we're training them for your benefit."
"Boss Feng, we don't accept child labor."
"We're currently selecting chefs for you, and we should have a result by the time we get back."
"Hearing what Boss Feng said, I really wish I could take you back to Anhua right away."
Ji Lu had her hands behind her head, looking relaxed.
"Are you serious? Then let's go back right now?"
"Hey, no, no, I was just kidding. Boss Feng, if you go back to Anhua now, the other major generals will find out that I tricked you into going back, they'll tear me apart."
Ji Lu begged for mercy.
"Hmph, how many more military regions do we have to go through?"
"There are still 10 military regions left. At this pace, we should be able to finish within a month."
"A month..."
This hidden quest is taking a really long time.
……
The next morning, Feng Shuyuan had just gotten up when he saw the children already standing at the kitchen door.
Their eyes were filled with anticipation and nervousness.
"Boss Feng, can we begin?" the third brother asked impatiently, his eyes sparkling.
Looking at him, Feng Shuyuan could understand why he was so anxious.
Having been disabled for so many years, this is the first time that someone has been willing to teach him a skill that he can master. The third brother must have been so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
"Okay, today we'll start with the simplest breakfast. I'll teach you how to make soy milk and potato pancakes first."
"Soy milk! That sweet stuff we drank yesterday! Can we make it too?"
Old Nine excitedly raised his hand.
"Yes, it's actually very simple to do. Old Nine, you should learn it carefully."
Feng Shuyuan couldn't resist squatting down and touching her hair.
Then, the lecture officially began.
Feng Shuyuan took out the prepared flour, potatoes, and soybeans.
As she demonstrated, she explained each step in detail.
The children surrounded her, watching her every move intently, afraid of missing a single detail.
"Alright, that's it. All the preparations for making the soy milk are done. Now, just wait for the soy milk maker to stop, add some sugar, and we'll have the soy milk we drank yesterday!"
Feng Shuyuan said with a smile.
Is it really that simple?
The fourth brother asked blankly.
This is completely different from the steps I took to make dumplings yesterday.
"Yes, but everyone thinks it's easy. So starting tomorrow, you'll be in charge of making breakfast."
Feng Shuyuan was happy to be a hands-off manager.
"Starting tomorrow, you will be in charge of making the soy milk every morning, is that alright?"
"No problem, Boss Feng!"
The fourth brother had learned to cook with the intention of relieving Feng Shuyuan's burden, and he was extremely excited when he heard that Feng Shuyuan was willing to let them take charge of part of the breakfast.
In her mind, this was a sign of Feng Shuyuan's trust in them.
"Alright, now I'll teach you how to make potato pancakes."
"First, let's start with chopping vegetables."
"You can't watch anymore. You need to practice chopping vegetables yourself."
"But be careful not to get hurt!"
Feng Shuyuan gave each child a knife and a potato.
Then, take them to slice potatoes.
"Boss Feng, is it difficult to chop vegetables? I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well."
The sixth man, holding a knife, spoke tremblingly.
"It's normal to not cut it perfectly the first time; no one does it right the first time. But as long as you put your heart into it, you'll gradually improve."
"Okay, Boss Feng."
Lao Liu took a deep breath, gripped the knife tightly, and carefully began to chop the vegetables.
Although his technique was still clumsy, he gradually found his footing under Feng Shuyuan's guidance.
"Look, it's cut very well!" Feng Shuyuan praised.
Hearing Feng Shuyuan's praise, the other children were also eager to try.
"Boss Feng, take a look at mine!"
"Boss Feng! How was my cutting?"
"Boss Feng! Is it okay if I cut it like this? Isn't it a bit too thick?"
Ying Ziping didn't go forward; instead, he silently practiced with the potato shreds that Feng Shuyuan had cut.
……
And so, it took these children more than two hours to prepare breakfast.
