Lin Ruifeng stood in front of the small oven on the cooking table, holding the two chopsticks handed to him by Feng Yifan. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. He could feel his heart pounding and his hands were shaking with the beat of his heart.
Little Feng Ruoruo, who was standing at the cooking table, could clearly see that the hands of the young uncle who had taken over his father's seat were shaking.
"Uncle, please stop shaking all the time. If you keep shaking like this, you won't be able to do it well."
Lin Ruifeng, who was originally very nervous, was startled when Feng Ruoruo said this, then he let out a long breath and was no longer so nervous.
"Phew, thanks Ruoruo for reminding me. Uncle is ready now."
When Lin Ruifeng finally calmed down and was ready to start, Feng Yifan stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I was careless. It may be a little difficult for you to use chopsticks. Wait a minute, I will find another tool for you."
Feng Yifan quickly rummaged through the cupboard and found two knives that were not that sharp.
"Here, use this. This should be easier than chopsticks."
As he spoke, Feng Yifan also gave Lin Ruifeng a demonstration.
Lin Ruifeng watched carefully as he used a table knife to do it. It was indeed much simpler than using chopsticks. The table knife could lift the eggs and batter along the edge of the round mold, unlike chopsticks, which required more care to lift the edge.
Holding two table knives, Lin Ruifeng was obviously more confident in this series. He took a deep breath and began to learn how to cook seriously.
"Put the oil first..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ruifeng was interrupted by Feng Ruoruo: "No, that's not right. You put too much oil in it. My dad wouldn't put so much oil in it. You should apply a thin layer."
When Feng Yifan heard that his daughter interrupted Lin Ruifeng, he felt a little embarrassed. He reached out and carried his daughter off the kitchen counter and comforted Lin Ruifeng.
"It's okay. Just try it first. It's okay if you don't do it well. Be brave and do it. The less you dare to do it and the more you are afraid of making mistakes, the harder it will be to learn."
After comforting Lin Ruifeng, Feng Yifan smiled and said to his daughter, "Ruoruo, be good, can you help Daddy take these little hamburgers out for Mommy to eat? Daddy will take out Grandpa's porridge later, okay?"
When Feng Ruoruo heard what her father said, she immediately pouted. The little girl could obviously see that her father didn't want her to watch.
"Huh, Dad, don't you want Ruoruo to see it?"
Feng Yifan quickly said, "No, but if Ruoruo doesn't take the burger out, it will get cold and won't taste good. Besides, Mom hasn't had breakfast yet, right?"
When Feng Ruoruo heard her father say this, she immediately agreed: "Yeah, then I'll quickly bring it out for Mom to try."
After reaching out to pick up the plate, the little girl put it down again, reached out to pull her father down, hugged her father's neck, and put her little mouth next to her father's ear.
"Dad, you can't be angry with mom. Mom doesn't want you to be too hard-working taking care of grandpa. Dad, you have to work harder."
Feng Yifan was really surprised by his daughter's words in his ear. He didn't expect that his daughter was so sensible and was even worried that he would be angry with her.
Feng Yifan hugged his daughter and whispered in her ear: "Dad knows, Dad is not angry, Dad will always love Ruoruo and Mom."
Hearing her father say this, little Feng Ruoruo was very happy. She gently kissed her father on the cheek, then picked up the plate with the hamburger and ran outside.
Feng Yifan touched the cheek kissed by his daughter, watched his daughter run out the door and said, "Run slower and be careful."
After his daughter left, Feng Yifan turned around and raised his hand to gently pat the stunned Lin Ruifeng: "Get started, it's useless to just watch here, try to do it seriously."
After being patted, Lin Ruifeng came to his senses, quickly responded and prepared to start.
However, Feng Yifan took the lead and used pliers to pick up the iron box with a lot of oil and poured out most of the oil: "Remember, you don't need too much oil, just a little bit of oil. Too much will affect the taste."
Lin Ruifeng nodded and proceeded to the next step seriously.
"Break an egg, beat the egg yolk, turn it over after it is set, and then put the batter in another one..."
Seeing this, Feng Yifan gave another instruction: "Don't put too much, it should be one-third of the iron box at best."
Even though he was being taught step by step, Lin Ruifeng still failed miserably as he was the first to make it. Because his hands were too slow, the crust on both sides were a little burnt.
Also because of the lack of speed, in the end the two halves of the pancake could not stick together and became two separate burnt pancakes.
Looking at the burnt pancake, Lin Ruifeng lowered his head. At this moment, he felt even more disappointed than when he failed the college entrance examination. He really felt that he could not achieve anything no matter what he did.
When I was feeling completely lost and sad, Feng Yifan gently patted me on the back of my head.
Then Lin Ruifeng heard Feng Yifan beside him say: "What are you staring at? Look at this failed work of yours, can you still see the flowers?"
Lin Ruifeng was suddenly awakened by the slap in the face. He turned his head to look at Feng Yifan who was standing beside him with a serious face.
After another pause, Lin Ruifeng suddenly understood that this was just a failure, just like not studying well is just a failure in life. If you fail once, you can try again.
Lin Ruifeng quickly responded, and then began to prepare to do it again seriously.
However, Feng Yifan stopped him again and asked him to use pliers to pick up the iron box on the grill and put it on the water table to rinse and cool it down.
"You have to remember that the temperature cannot be too high. If it is too high, it will easily become mushy. In fact, this is a simple temporary tool. If you really plan to do this on the street, you need to make a special mold.
Of course, you can also buy an electric grill pan to make it yourself, but if you use electricity, it doesn’t seem suitable for you to set up a stall on the street to sell it.”
Feng Yifan really took care of every detail and told Lin Ruifeng all the details of doing business one by one, while guiding Lin Ruifeng to continue trying.
Lin Ruifeng's second one was obviously better than the first one, at least it was no longer split into two halves.
Of course, there are still many flaws, such as the eggs were placed crookedly, there were not enough vegetables and diced meat, and there was too much sauce, but it was finally completed.
Feng Yifan looked at it and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's good. You can eat it yourself later."
Next, Feng Yifan asked Lin Ruifeng to practice slowly by himself, while he went to cook porridge for his father-in-law for breakfast.
Without Feng Yifan's direction, Lin Ruifeng was a little flustered at first. But when he saw Feng Yifan busy at the stove behind him calmly, Lin Ruifeng gradually calmed down and began to operate steadily.
Feng Ruoruo went out with the egg burger, came in front of her mother and grandfather, and held the plate in front of her mother and grandfather as if to show off.
"Grandpa, Mom, look, this is what Dad made. It's called an egg burger."
Looking at their daughter holding a plate of golden pancakes that looked like they were just baked, Su Jinrong and Su Ruoxi were also a little curious.
Su Ruoxi looked at it carefully and curled her lips and said, "Isn't it just a pancake fried until the surface is golden? What's so special about it?"
When Feng Ruoruo heard her mother say this, she immediately became unhappy: "No, Mom, try it, try it, you will find it delicious, try it quickly."
At her daughter's urging, Su Ruoxi reached out, picked up a piece, and slowly put it to her mouth.
Seeing that her mother was only going to take a small bite, Feng Ruoruo quickly shouted, "Mom, you have to take a big bite. You have to take a big bite. Come on, eat it in big bites."
Su Ruoxi finally listened to her daughter and opened her mouth slightly to take a bite. This bite immediately made Su Ruoxi taste the surprise.
