"Then, pour the beaten egg liquid into the pan. When the bottom of the egg liquid begins to solidify, use a spatula to gently stir it from the bottom upwards to break the egg liquid into small pieces. Remember not to stir-fry for too long, so as not to affect the tender and smooth taste of the eggs. Now, pour the previously fried shrimp back into the pan and stir-fry evenly with the eggs. At this time, you can add a little light soy sauce to enhance the flavor according to your personal taste. Finally, sprinkle some chopped green onions for fragrance, stir-fry a few times quickly, and the shrimp and eggs are ready to be served! I believe that by following these steps, you will be able to easily make a delicious shrimp and eggs dish. I hope you feel happy and satisfied during the cooking process!"

After hearing Xu Yingying's output, Ma Jiajia felt that her brain capacity was insufficient. She could no longer remember what she had planned to do in the first place.

Seeing Ma Jiajia stunned, Xu Yingying didn't pay any attention to her, silently planning what to do next. She decided to deal with the ginger and scallion chicken first, so she turned to look at Chen Xiaofen and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaofen, I'm going to start chopping this chicken into small pieces now. Do you want to watch?"

Chen Xiaofen nodded slightly in agreement. Xu Yingying quickly grabbed a sharp knife and placed the whole chicken on a clean cutting board that had been rinsed with hot water. Because the board would be used for both raw and cooked food, it needed to be thoroughly rinsed two or three times with hot water to ensure hygiene and safety. This effectively removed bacteria and odors, ensuring a healthier and more delicious cooking experience.

When Xu Yingying holds a kitchen knife, there is always a feeling of sucking people in. Looking at her posture, it feels like a martial arts master reappearing in the world.

With a flick of the knife, "Chop, chop, chop... chop, chop... chop, chop..." Xu Yingying chopped half a chicken in one go and put it on a plate.

It was the first time for Chen Xiaofen to see someone butchering a chicken. It was really done without any hesitation. If she tries it herself next time, can she really learn it?

Let’s not talk about this for now. Ma Jiajia, who was sitting next to the gas stove, started making scrambled eggs with shrimp for the first time in her life without anyone paying attention.

Thinking about what Xu Yingying had just told her, take it step by step. Maybe because she had just fried a dish, she was still full of confidence at the moment. Ma Jiajia turned on the gas stove and poured an appropriate amount of vegetable oil into the pot. When she felt the heat, she put the marinated shrimp into the pot and started to stir-fry. But after she fried it for a few times, she found that the shrimp had a little black edge. When the shrimp changed, it felt like a layer of black substance was wrapped around it. She could only take it out and set it aside. Then, Ma Jiajia saw that there was still oil in the pot and poured the beaten egg liquid into the pot.

When Ma Jiajia used a spatula to flip the egg mixture from the bottom, she found that the flipped side was also black. After the egg mixture was completely solidified, she poured the previously fried shrimp back into the pan and stir-fried it with the eggs. Finally, she added black "light soy sauce." After a few quick stir-fries, the shrimp and eggs were completely black. Ma Jiajia was dumbfounded when she saw this, but she could only remove the shrimp from the pan and put it on a plate!

Soon, three delicious dishes were placed on the table. Scrambled eggs with shrimp, chicken with ginger and scallions, and moonlight over the lotus pond were fragrant and mouth-watering.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Chen Xiaofen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. But when Chen Xiaofen saw that one of the three dishes was black, she was a little confused. "Huh? This?"

Xu Yingying only then noticed after hearing Chen Xiaofen's two completely different tones that, in addition to the two dishes she had taken care of at the beginning, there was a dish she had not expected. "Color?"

"Come and try my cooking." Ma Jiajia said with a proud yet embarrassed smile.

"Sister Jia Jia, did you make another dish?" Xu Yingying asked in surprise.

"That's what you asked me to do." Ma Jiajia looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

"Are you sure this is the fried shrimp and eggs I asked you to make? How are these black ones made?" Xu Yingying asked in confusion.

"Anyway, I did what you said." Ma Jiajia insisted.

Xu Yingying thought it would be better not to argue with Ma Jiajia and just eat lunch first. She hadn't even had breakfast when she started making lunch.

In this way, the three of them sat around the dinner table, tasting the delicious food made by everyone and talking about their feelings in the kitchen just now.

Ma Jiajia spoke first, "It turns out I'm quite good at cooking. It's my first time, but I made the meal so delicious and fragrant."

The two people beside them looked at the plate of scrambled eggs with shrimp and wondered if Ma Jiajia was color blind or something? Was she so confident that she pretended not to see the shrimp? How could this be so delicious?

Xu Yingying coughed twice and then said, "You've been to the kitchen today, so you should understand what I said at the time, right?"

Ma Jiajia nodded in agreement. She had indeed been a bit biased before. Being able to cook a meal herself was a real accomplishment. Putting aside the shrimp dish, even the moonlight over the lotus pond and the rice, which she had essentially cooked herself, were quite successful. Xiaofen's ginger and scallion chicken looked pretty good, too. Although she hadn't tasted it yet, she expected all of them to taste good.

Chen Xiaofen also felt that she had learned quite successfully today, except that she did not participate in the last step. However, she watched Xu Yingying's movements carefully and without blinking the whole time. She hoped that she could get it right in one step next time.

Seeing that the two of them remained silent after hearing what she said, Xu Yingying knew that they both tacitly agreed with her words. Then she said, "Thank you for your hard work this morning. Let's eat."

Ma Jiajia immediately agreed, "Then let's get started. I'm starving. Just now, while I was smelling the delicious food, I insisted on finishing the frying. I even thought about sneaking some in a few times."

Chen Xiaofen also smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite!" As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't wait to pick up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and put it in her bowl, muttering to herself, hoping to understand how the dish was cooked by tasting it.

At the same time, Ma Jiajia unceremoniously stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a dish called "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond".

Xu Yingying, standing nearby, observed with interest as the two women each selected a different dish to try. She decided to try Ma Jiajia's "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond." The moment the crisp lotus root entered her mouth, she immediately experienced a delicious flavor, realizing she was at least halfway there. She then tried other side dishes, finding them perfectly balanced in saltiness and lightness, and overall, a truly outstanding performance. For a first-time cook, such a result is undoubtedly a surprising and satisfying experience.
