Coming to the StarCraft to Be a Kindergarten Teacher: Perfect Transformation
Chapter 87 On the Eve of Summer Camp
"That's all for today's class. Thank you, children," I said to the children with a smile. As soon as I finished speaking, all the children stood up in unison, bowed deeply, and said in unison, "Thank you, teacher, for your hard work."
Looking at these lovely little angels, my heart is filled with warmth. They express their gratitude to me with their innocent smiles and tender voices, which makes me feel extremely happy.
"Okay, kids, let's go find Lei and the others!" I said gently. Seeing that the children had quickly packed up their things, I took them to the rest area in the back to look for Lei and the other children.
Soon, we arrived at the rest area and found Lei. I handed the children over to Yingjie, Shaoyu, and Bote, and explained in detail to Lei that they would be returning for summer camp next week. Lei listened attentively, nodding her understanding. She knew this was a rare opportunity for the children to learn more and make new friends.
"But Lei, this summer camp will be a bit long, nearly two months, and there will be teachers from the camp to pick up the children. I looked carefully at the requirements, and if there are children with special needs at the Love Kindergarten, a social worker can go with them. Also, the social worker can't be at the training ground during daytime activities, but after all the activities are over in the evening, the social worker can go to the dormitory to see the children! Originally, this summer camp was completely closed, but because we have a child with special needs, Lele, we can have a social worker instead of a class teacher~"
"The children's suitcases will arrive tomorrow. From tomorrow until Friday, they'll have two days to pack their belongings. Lotta and I don't understand the children's daily life and education as well as you do. So, packing for these two days will be entirely up to you! Also, there's one more thing you need to consider. We need to decide which teacher will accompany the children for this summer camp. Please think about it tonight and let us know your decision tomorrow. That way, I can fill out the accompanying teacher's information promptly. I hope you will make your choice carefully and ensure our children receive the best possible care and guidance during summer camp. Thank you!"
"Sui Sui, let me accompany the children to this summer camp!" Lei said with a smile.
"Lei, can you go? Is it convenient at home?" I asked with some surprise when I heard Lei say she could go.
"Sui Sui, I can go. Bot and I don't have any children yet, and our elderly family members don't live with us. Bot has other things to do during the holidays. I'm still thinking about what I should do when Bot is busy. Now is a good time for me to go with the children. Won't there be a week of rest after the summer camp is over? Then I can go and play with Bot for another week." Lei explained with a smile.
"Lei, you and Bot are husband and wife!" I asked in surprise.
Lei nodded, her eyes filled with tenderness. "Yes, we have been married for many years. It's just that due to some special reasons, we have never had children of our own. But as we get older, we began to think about having a baby of our own. However, we are worried that we may not be able to give the child enough love and education. After all, raising a child requires a lot of energy and time. So, we decided to try to become social workers at the Love Kindergarten first, and improve our parenting experience by spending time with the children. In the past two years, we found that we still have many shortcomings, so we decided to wait another two years before having children."
After hearing what Lei said, I couldn't help but be moved by her and Bot's sincerity. They not only care about their own lives, but also care about children in need. I admire their selfless dedication. At the same time, I also realize that as parents, we have a great responsibility and must be fully prepared and capable to welcome the arrival of a new life. Lei and Bot's actions have shown me that love is a responsibility and a form of growth.
After explaining everything, Lei and I chatted about the children's daily lives. Watching them play, we couldn't help but sigh at how time flies. In the blink of an eye, they've all grown up. As their teachers and friends, we will always be by their side, witnessing their growth and progress.
"Lei, that's about it. I should be leaving now. See you tomorrow." It was already 5:, and I had to hurry home to make dinner. Lei and the other teachers would take the children to the cafeteria for dinner, while I would go home and take care of myself. I stood up and said goodbye to Lei. She smiled and waved, wishing me a wonderful evening.
I left the rest area and headed home, feeling cheerful. The sun shone down on me, warm and comfortable. I felt a sense of relief, knowing my workday was finally over. I opened my laptop and quickly ordered some fresh vegetables. That way, they'd be right at my doorstep by the time I got home. Everything was perfectly organized, with no wasted time. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel proud of my efficiency.
After returning home, I quickly washed my hands and began preparing dinner. I expertly gathered all the necessary ingredients and began cooking. Before I started, I turned on my hover camera and started filming. "Hey everyone, today I'm making Mapo Tofu, a traditional dish from Sichuan Province, China, known for its spicy, savory flavor. Here are the steps to making the most authentic Mapo Tofu:
Material preparation
Soft tofu: 1 piece (about 400 grams). Gypsum tofu is preferred because of its rich bean flavor and delicate taste.
Minced beef: 100 grams (minced pork can also be used), marinated with cooking wine in advance to remove the fishy smell.
Shallots: 3 stalks, cut into chopped pieces and set aside.
Garlic: 5 cloves, minced and set aside.
Ginger: 5 slices, minced and set aside.
Bean paste: 30 tablespoons (about grams)
Chili powder: 10 grams, to increase the spiciness.
Sichuan pepper powder: 1 spoon, provides numbing sensation.
Salt, MSG, chicken essence: appropriate amount, for seasoning.
Fermented black beans: 1 spoon (optional), to increase flavor. Dark soy sauce: appropriate amount, for coloring.
Water starch: appropriate amount, used for thickening.
Production steps
To prepare the tofu: Cut the tofu into small pieces about 2 cm square. Blanch them in boiling water with a little salt and dark soy sauce for 1 minute to remove the beany smell and make the tofu firmer and less brittle. Remove from the water, cool in cold water, drain, and set aside.
To stir-fry the minced meat: Heat some oil in a wok. Add the ground beef (or pork) and stir-fry quickly until the meat changes color. Remove from heat and set aside. Be careful not to overheat the meat to prevent it from burning.
To prepare the seasoning: Leave some oil in a wok. Add the chopped ginger, garlic, and fermented black beans (if using) and stir-fry over low heat until fragrant. Then add the fermented black bean paste and chili flakes. Continue to stir-fry over low heat until the red oil is released and the aroma is fragrant. Be careful not to burn the chili flakes, as this will affect the taste.
Add the tofu: Add just enough hot water (or broth) to the sautéed seasoning, just enough to cover the tofu. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low. Add the blanched tofu cubes and gently stir to combine. Season to taste with salt, MSG, and chicken bouillon.
Thickening: Once the tofu is cooked and flavorful, begin thickening the sauce. Add the cornstarch to the pot in three additions, gently stirring with a spatula after each addition to thoroughly incorporate the tofu and sauce. The first addition should be thin to allow the tofu to absorb the flavor. The second addition should be thicker to increase the viscosity of the sauce. The third addition can be adjusted to your preference to achieve the desired texture and appearance. Keep the heat low to prevent the sauce from becoming too thick or burning the pot.
Plate and sprinkle with toppings: Once the broth thickens, remove from heat and serve. Place the tofu on a plate and sprinkle with the pre-prepared Sichuan peppercorns and chopped green onions. With the final ladleful of hot oil, the Mapo Tofu sizzles and its aroma fills the air. I smile with satisfaction at this deliciously flavorful dish.
"Ding ding ding ding, a delicious Mapo Tofu is ready. Everyone can make it and submit your 'homework' in the comment section. I will hold a lottery in the comment section later. Today's recipe teaching ends here. Everyone enjoy your meal. Bye!" I said to the camera with a smile, and then ended the shooting.
I brought the mapo tofu to the table and sat down to enjoy my meal. The tofu melted in my mouth, spicy and fresh, leaving me feeling extremely satisfied.
This dish is not only delicious, but also carries my heart and effort. Through this photoshoot, I hope to share this delicious dish with more people and look forward to seeing the results after they try it. At the same time, I also hope that through this, more people will love cooking and enjoy the joy of food.
