"All right, let's start with something simple. You can chop the kelp." Shen Lu took out a spare kitchen knife and cutting board and showed Cai Su how to hold the knife and how to curl her fingers to hold down the vegetables.
"Just cut the kelp into pieces this big." Shen Lu was a thorough teacher, and Cai Su was a serious student.
Slicing kelp was extremely simple, so Cai Su learned quickly. Shen Lu then taught her how to chop radishes.
"Boss Shen, you can leave the kelp and radishes to me from now on," Cai Su said, full of motivation. "Once I get more practice, I can take over the tofu skin and konjac tofu, too."
"Deal."
Shen Lu went outside to bring out the food cart and the malatang cooker, and they worked together to load them with ingredients.
They had prepared a lot of ingredients today, more than the food cart could hold. Shen Lu left the extras by the door, figuring Cai Su could just make a trip back for them later.
