Pan-fried steak, grilled pizza, Thai pineapple fried rice... When many of her peers still need their parents to dress and feed them or rush to training classes, Xu Yijia, who is more than 9 years old, is already at home serving others. A food training class has been opened, and a large number of food fans of the same age have been accumulated.
On the 19th, it was a Saturday, and the training class started in the afternoon. The kitchen of Xu Yijia’s house was full of laughter and laughter. Since half a year ago, she has been giving food training classes to children of the same age at home, with 4 to 6 students at a time.
"For this dish, the cabbage stuffing needs to be chopped very finely. This will not only taste delicious but also look good. Everyone, please watch my demonstration first, and then operate. When holding the knife, you must see clearly My posture, don’t cut your hand." Xu Yijia demonstrated the steps in a graceful manner.
Under Xu Yijia’s teaching, the students also listened attentively and basically completed this delicious rose dumpling. After class, everyone will also have ingredients that they can take home for practice, and they can post their "homework" status in the QQ group to exchange feedback.
“Xu Yijia has loved cooking since she was a child. She was very interested in the gourmet kitchen class offered when she was in kindergarten. She would cook by herself and watch videos to make corrections. After entering elementary school, her classmates wanted to learn how to cook. , I asked her for recipes, and she helped her classmates write breakfast recipes such as pancakes and sandwiches. Later, the number of recipes became more and more, so I suggested that we start a food training class," said her mother Zhang Kerou.
Zhang Kerou will accompany her daughter to the market and purchase ingredients according to the material list. In the process, she teaches her daughter the concepts of cost and profit. Xu Yijia has also gradually learned to reduce waste and control costs. Now when she writes her list, she always indicates the dosage. For example, 10 yuan of minced meat and 3 yuan of dumpling wrappers can make 12 dumplings. The profits from the training course were all at her own disposal. She raised a kitten and bought it a self-flushing toilet. She also paid for the cat food every month.
The mother said that she did not consider making money when opening such a training class, but she was often away from home on business trips and hoped that her children could take good care of themselves. And her love for cooking has not affected her studies. Xu Yijia, who goes to school on Youfu West Street, was exempted from the Chinese language test in the final exam last semester, scoring 98 in mathematics and 99 in English.
On her 9th birthday last year, Xu Yijia cooked a cold dinner and invited her classmates and friends. This year, her customized goal is to cook a New Year's Eve dinner for her family on New Year's Eve. Now she learns a new dish every month, braised shrimp in oil in January, rock sugar elbow in February, pickled fish in March, fruit pizza in April, and Laoganma's stir-fried crayfish with black bean sauce in May. , braised duck tongue in June... According to the current progress, her New Year's Eve dinner plan will be completed as scheduled
