Chapter 292 The first time I cracked eggs, it was like this.
The two first went to the fresh produce section. Chen Hao stopped and carefully selected ingredients, reaching out to look at each vegetable on the shelf and choosing the freshest and plump ones.
He picked out several brightly colored tomatoes and a bunch of tender celery, his movements practiced and skillful.
Lin Caiwei stood beside her, watching intently. Curious, she reached out and gently touched the tomato's skin; it was soft and smooth, and felt very fresh.
"This tomato is so red, it looks really good. It must be very sweet, right?" she said casually.
"When buying vegetables, you can't just look at their appearance; good looks alone are useless. You have to smell them too."
Chen Hao picked up a plump tomato, brought it close to his nose, and gently smelled it, patiently teaching her the technique.
"Fresh, ripe tomatoes have a natural sweet aroma, and they taste better and are more juicy when stir-fried."
Lin Caiwei followed his example, picked up a tomato and brought it to her nose to smell it, but she couldn't smell anything.
Afraid of appearing too stupid, she was too embarrassed to speak, so she could only nod as if she understood and obediently put the tomato back in its place.
After selecting the vegetables, the two walked to the fresh meat section.
Chen Hao carefully selected two fresh pork ribs and handed them to the stall owner, asking him to chop them into even small pieces.
The boss took a heavy cleaver and chopped the ribs with a few clean, loud cuts.
Standing behind Chen Hao, Lin Caiwei watched her boss's neat and powerful movements and felt inexplicably scared. She subconsciously shrank her neck and hid her small body behind Chen Hao.
Chen Hao caught a glimpse of her timid appearance out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but laugh and tease her:
"What are you afraid of? They're chopping up ribs, not you. Why are you so timid?"
Lin Caiwei stuck out her tongue shyly, raised her hand and gently pinched his waist as a form of rebuttal, her face hidden under her mask, slightly flushed.
As Lin Caiwei pushed her shopping cart past the snack section, she subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
The shelves were filled with all kinds of snacks, with colorful packaging that looked particularly tempting.
She stared at the shelf for a few moments, feeling a little tempted, and then subconsciously turned to look at Chen Hao beside her, her eyes filled with a hint of probing.
"Take whatever you want, don't hold back." Chen Hao saw through her thoughts and spoke indulgently.
Lin Caiwei reached out and picked up a bag of potato chips, hesitated for a long time, then remembered that her recent irregular schedule and eating too many snacks was not good, so she silently put it back.
She picked up another box of exquisite chocolates, hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't bear to eat it, so she put it back on the shelf.
In the end, she didn't take anything for herself, but picked out a bag of strawberry-flavored cookies that Sisi usually loved and gently put it into the shopping cart.
Chen Hao watched her every move quietly, understanding her thoughts, but didn't say a word, simply pushing the bike forward silently.
When they got to the cashier, a young woman, they couldn't help but glance at Lin Caiwei a couple more times.
She then curiously sized up Chen Hao, who had an outstanding presence beside her, her eyes filled with undisguised gossip and curiosity.
Lin Caiwei kept her head down the whole time, not daring to look up and meet eyes. She frantically placed the groceries from the shopping cart onto the conveyor belt one by one, her movements stiff.
After paying the bill, Chen Hao naturally took the shopping bag from the cashier, holding it steadily with one hand and taking Lin Caiwei's wrist with the other, leading her out.
"Let's go home."
The warm palm pressed against her wrist, reassuring and comforting, instantly calming Lin Caiwei's panicked heart.
Back home, Lin Caiwei changed her shoes and immediately went into the kitchen, where she tied on an apron, looking eager to start cooking.
Chen Hao followed behind her, taking out the groceries he had bought and arranging them neatly on the kitchen counter.
"What dish are we going to learn to cook today?" Lin Caiwei turned to look at him, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"What do you want to learn?" Chen Hao asked her in return.
"I want to learn everything. Just teach me the simplest thing, and I'll practice slowly," Lin Caiwei said earnestly.
Chen Hao thought for a moment and then said:
"Beginners should start with the simplest method. Today I'll teach you how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes. It's easy to make and delicious."
He took out three fresh tomatoes and two eggs from the ingredients, arranged them neatly on the cutting board, then handed the cleaver to Lin Caiwei and patiently instructed her:
"First, cut the tomatoes. Cut off the stem at the top, then cut them into small, even pieces. They don't need to be too small."
Lin Caiwei carefully took the kitchen knife, gripped the handle with both hands, picked up a tomato and placed it on the cutting board. She held her breath nervously and slowly began to cut it.
The first cut was fairly neat and barely acceptable, but the second cut was crooked and completely lost its shape.
On the third cut, the tomato's smooth skin slid lightly across the cutting board, shifting the tomato's position. The knife followed suit, nearly cutting her finger.
Chen Hao's heart tightened at the sight, and he immediately reached out and covered her small hand holding the knife, firmly stabilizing her movements in time.
"Don't rush, take your time, don't panic." His voice was gentle and patient as he guided her through the techniques step by step.
"Slightly bend your fingers inwards and use your knuckles to support the blade. This way, you can cut steadily and won't cut your hand. Remember this posture."
His warm, large hand completely enveloped her small hand, the warmth of his palm seeping through the fabric, making her feel warm and secure.
Lin Caiwei's heart skipped a beat, her cheeks flushed, and her ears turned slightly red.
She dared not move, obediently letting him hold her hand and guide her as he steadily sliced the tomato, one slice at a time.
After practicing a few times, Chen Hao gently released his grip, letting her try cutting it herself.
With the experience she had just gained, Lin Caiwei was much more skilled this time, although the tomato chunks she cut were still a bit uneven in size.
It wasn't perfect, but at least it was steady and stable, with no more slipping or dangerous maneuvers.
After slowly slicing the three tomatoes, Lin Caiwei breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling a great sense of accomplishment, as if she had successfully completed some monumental task.
"The tomatoes are chopped! What's next?" She looked up at Chen Hao, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Next, crack the eggs."
Lin Caiwei picked up the egg and carefully tapped it gently on the edge of the bowl. The eggshell immediately cracked open with a thin crack.
She carefully pried open the eggshell with both hands, and the golden egg liquid mixed with the transparent egg white flowed smoothly into the bowl, but several small pieces of the eggshell broke and fell into the bowl.
"It's okay, it's normal for the first time you crack eggs." Chen Hao picked up his chopsticks and patiently helped her pick out the broken eggshells from the bowl, gently comforting her.
