Asmara: The Love Story of Bede Kasta

Learning to cook 3

"Arkana, wake up." The soft voice of Brother Mei tried to wake me up

"What's up, brother." I woke up in a sleepy state

"Say you'll be taught to cook."

"Aaa, okay."

"You wash your face first so you don't get sleepy."

After saying that, sister Mei then left my room and I went to the toilet to wash my face, I then washed my face and brushed my teeth in the sink. After doing those 2 things I then took a towel and wiped the water on my face

"What time is it."

I looked at the clock and it was only 3 o'clock, and then I went down to see Sister Mei and asked her why she woke me up too early

"We'll cook until 5, 6 to 7 you're ready to go to school because you're in at 8 in the morning." Said Brother Mei while brewing green tea

"Did you usually wake up in the morning." Ask me

"Waking up in the morning is a good habit, you should try it and have your face washed."

"When will we learn." I can't wait to try cooking

"Please wait first, you want to enjoy your new brewed green tea." Said Kak Mei while drinking her homemade tea

She asked me what I wanted to cook, whether it was cake or breakfast, and I asked her what the difference was. Kak Mei then replied that the cake is definitely sweet while breakfast is not necessarily sweet

"An answer that doesn't help at all." I said when I heard the answer that was thrown out, Mei

"Alright, since we need about 2 hours then we'll make a Grilled chicken sandwich." Said sister Mei

Mei said that she would just sit down and give orders while I focused on cooking, I agreed and I started cooking

"First you have to break the eggs and then mix them with chicken broth." The first commandment from Mei

"How many eggs ?." Ask me

"6 grains." With a relaxed sis Mei said

"What, 6 Grains." I was certainly surprised to learn that making 1 sandwich requires that many eggs

"Don't say much, just do it."

I then broke 6 eggs and put them in the container, when I want to pour chicken broth I also asked again how much the dose and Kak Mei replied

"Whatever."

"Why brother." Of course I was upset when I heard his answer

"Then like that try 50 Ml."

"Is this true ?." Ask me who doesn't believe

"Believe the same brother."

I also mix 50 Ml of chicken broth to a bowl that already has 6 eggs and whisk them until flat, Sister Mei then gave the following order that I was told to chop 1 grain of onions until smooth

I was then confused how to know the weight of 1 onion and sister Mei said that I only need to divide 1 onion into 3 parts

"1 piece of onions is 150 Grams." Message from Mei

"Okay, thanks for the information."

She asked me if I could use a knife and I replied that using a knife was easy

"Then, the heart of the heart cuts it." Said Mei worried about me

It turns out that cutting onions is not an easy thing let alone chopping until really smooth even my fingers until sliced

"Sister said, heart of heart." Said Kak Mei

Sister May then went to get the plaster to cover the cut of Arkana, I then took the plaster given to Kak Mei and put it on my finger

"It's a good thing it's just a wedge wound, not your finger being cut off."

Kak Mei then showed how to hold the knife properly that the thumb and index finger are leaned on the right and left side of the base of the knife. Kak Mei then chopped onions to be very smooth

"Do you want to rest ?." Ask Mei

"Not to."

"So glad you're full of spirit." Mei smiled at me

Sister May told me to saute onions but before I did that I had to boil 30 grams of spaghetti, I asked her if this food had anything to do with spaghetti

"Sister said, just follow all the words of brother."

"Well, I just wanted to ask."

I then sauteed onions and when I sauteed, Kak Mei took something in the refrigerator and the ones I picked up were Parsley and ground chicken. Kak Mei then gave this material to me and asked me to mix ground chicken when the onion was fragrant

After I thought the onion was fragrant, I put the ground chicken in a skillet and Kak Mei told me that the color of the ground chicken had to change

"Good good."

After the color changed, I asked her what her next step was and Mei replied that the next step was the input of boiled spaghetti, salt, pepper powder, tomato sauce and parsley

"Before the spaghetti is mixed, cut it into 2 parts."

Fearing that my hand was injured again, finally, Mei cut the spaghetti and after cutting, all the ingredients were put into the same container and I stirred all the ingredients together

"Finally, get to the last step."

"Finally, cooking was exhausting as well." I let out a breath

The last step is to pour eggs and stir so that the contents spread and add cheese grater, I then mix all the ingredients that have been me into 6 slices of bread

"It's finally done." I smiled at the finished food

The time turned out to be at 05:00 and I had to take a shower immediately, before leaving the kitchen I asked that the food I had made be prepared in the lunch box

"Good good." Answer mei
