38-The First Lesson

The two soldiers began to add water in a hurry. One of them, a round-faced soldier, immediately filled the bowl to the brim with a tremble in his hand, diluting the scrambled egg mixture into egg-y water.

"Teacher Ruan... I..." The round-faced soldier looked at him with an upset expression.

"It doesn't matter, take your time. Change to another bowl," He said patiently.

"Yes." The round-faced soldier dejectedly changed to a new bowl and started to beat the eggs from the beginning.

The other one, a darker-skinned soldier, may have learned the lesson of his companion, slowed down the speed when pouring water. According to Ruan Tang's demonstration just now, he added the water slowly while beating the mixture for about 8 minutes. He then carefully removed the froth from the egg mixture, then put it in the steamer and started steaming it.

After observing his actions, Ruan Tang nodded slightly and secretly gave him a fairly good score. Although he had made a mistake in the beginning, it was a minor one. Afterwards, he was immediately cautious. He had an eye for details and seemed to be quite good.

Soon after, it was time for the inspection. The other eight soldier brothers' egg custards were finally out of the steamer. Before they added the seasoning, Ruan Tang quickly checked the eight bowls. There were three that were unqualified. One had too much water put in. The egg mixture broke down when it was steamed and it was not formed at all; the other two had eggs that weren't beaten evenly. There was a large amount of egg whites. Not to mention the taste, even the appearance did not pass muster.

"You three, do it again." As a teacher, Ruan Tang was still quite strict.

The three soldiers dejectedly joined the re-starting team, and the last five remained in the final steps.

They had learned from Ruan Tang's demonstration before and added a spoonful of soy sauce and a little bit of chopped green onion. One of the soldiers was unclear regarding the difference between light and dark soy sauce. When he added the dark soy sauce, the egg custard suddenly turned an indescribable color.

Ruan Tang took a spoon and tasted each bowl. The one who added the dark soy sauce, actually steamed the eggs quite well. At this final stage, there was also someone who added in a bit too much salt, it made his throat dry from the saltiness. Finally, only three people's eggs custards were qualified.

Ruan Tang opened his light brain and brought the list of names of these ten people. He marked the names of these last three.

Wang Jun was the oldest of the three, square-faced and looked particularly upright and trustworthy. At the age of 93, he has been in the military for more than 40 years. Based on the standard life expectancy of 300 years old for people in the Empire, he was actually quite young, and had a steady and careful character. Looking at his information, he held the rank of a lieutenant. He was an officer and Ruan Tang had no idea how he had wormed his way into this cooking lesson. But looking at his eagerness, he must really be interested in cooking.

Xue Rui was 65 years old. He appeared quite bookish with a very refined and gentle air. He appeared to be very smart. Wen Zeyang was the youngest, only in his early forties, baby-faced and looked very lovable but he was also very smart. Their learning ability were both quite good, and their movements during cooking were also flexible, not at all messy.

Ruan Tang was very satisfied with these three people. Later, he could teach them a stir-fried dish, if they learn it well enough, Ruan Tang could prioritize their training. As for the other two that had made mistakes in their seasoning, they would still need careful observation.

At this time, the dark-skinned soldier's egg custard was done. Upon checking, Ruan Tang saw that the surface was smooth and level. It looked very good. So he nodded and motioned for him to continue on to the next steps.
