On a sunny weekend, the family decided to drive to the country lanes to visit their hometown in the countryside. Along the way, Xiaohong happily sat in the back seat, and she couldn't wait to meet those chicks and ducklings.
You can also go to the market near your hometown with your mom and pick the freshest eggs yourself. Little Red is full of anticipation, and she often sees lush green fields on TV, dense yellow rice ears, and imagines them full of fragrant wildflowers.
She believed that there must be tall corn stalks on both sides of the country roads, and that the ridges of the fields must be full of golden rice. Little Red even fantasizes that the hens here should be fat and round, and the chicks and ducklings must be cute.
She can't wait to get her hands dirty and feed them.
For Xiaohong, going to the farmhouse to experience rural life will be a very exciting and exciting adventure. She believes that there will be many happy little discoveries waiting for her to explore.
Especially when she follows her mother to choose the most mellow eggs, she will definitely learn a lot of unique methods.
When she arrived at the farmhouse, Xiaohong really saw a flock of fat hens and squeaky chicks and ducklings. She happily came out of the chicken coop and followed her mother to a market not far away, ready to pick the most mellow eggs.
When she came to the egg area, her mother first explained to Xiaohong the difference between different varieties of eggs. It turns out that the plump local chicken can walk in the field to forage for food, and eat all kinds of insects and grass seeds, so the yolk of the native egg will be more golden in color and richer in taste.
On the contrary, foreign eggs with a higher degree of standardization have good hygiene and safety performance, but the taste is not as fragrant as local eggs.
After listening to her mother's explanation, Xiaohong decisively chose the local egg area. She believes that natural flavored eggs are delicious. When selecting, she found that the size and color of the eggs were not uniform, and the different types of hens and the environment in which they were kept would lead to differences.
Now Xiaohong understands that the diversity of eggs reflects their naturalness.
Under the guidance of her mother, Xiaohong chose a few smaller, full-colored eggs. Mom praised her for having learned to distinguish between good and bad eggs. Xiaohong, who was affirmed by her mother, was full of joy, and she thanked her mother for her careful guidance, which was a very valuable learning opportunity.
After choosing the size, her mother began to teach Xiaohong the trick of judging the freshness of the eggs. She first asked Xiaohong to pick up an egg and shine it in the sun, and then through the light to determine whether the color of the egg liquid inside was full and golden.
A fresh egg should be full of orange on the inside.
Then Mom brought two more eggs and asked Red to try to shake them. One egg makes a crispy sound, while the other has a muddy sound. It turns out that fresh eggs will have a crisp sound when they are shaken, while less fresh eggs will have a vague sound.
Xiaohong repeatedly compared and listened to it several times, and finally distinguished the difference in the freshness of the eggs. Mom's ingenious way taught her the trick of judging if an egg is fresh.
Finally, her mother also told Xiaohong to carefully check the surface of each egg for cracks, stains, etc., which can also show the shelf life of an egg. Xiaohong squatted down to take a closer look, and sure enough, she found that there were slight cracks on the surface of several eggs, and the color was slightly darker.
She immediately removed the inferior eggs, leaving only the ones with an intact surface.
With her mother's guidance, Xiaohong learned several ways to judge the freshness of an egg from its appearance, sound, and interior. Red is overjoyed, and she wants to remember these valuable tips.
After buying fresh eggs, my mother took Xiaohong to a restaurant in the courtyard of the farmhouse and ordered a few special dishes of the farmhouse with eggs as the main ingredient. Egg pancakes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, followed by fragrant egg fried rice.
Finally, the waiter brought a plate of golden hard-boiled eggs with a smooth and translucent appearance. Xiaohong couldn't wait to pick one up and put it in her mouth, the egg whites were soft, the egg yolk was soft and glutinous, and her mouth was full of fragrance.
Three kinds of eggs made of delicacies, each of which makes Xiaohong eat with relish. Just as Little Red was gobbling it up, her mother said approvingly that these egg dishes tasted good, but in terms of nutrient retention, boiled eggs were the best choice.
Because the boiling temperature is not high, it can avoid the denaturation of the egg whites and lock in the rich nutrients in the egg yolk. Mom suggested preparing more boiled eggs for Xiaohong at ordinary times to supplement nutrients such as protein and calcium.
After listening to her mother's explanation, Xiaohong nodded happily, saying that she also likes the tender taste of boiled eggs the most, and such a simple home-cooked dish is also the easiest for her to absorb.
This unforgettable trip to the countryside not only allowed Xiaohong to choose the most mellow and delicious eggs by herself, but also opened her eyes to egg-related knowledge and learned many practical tips.
Through the interaction with her mother, Xiaohong understood the difference between native eggs and foreign eggs, and also learned to judge the freshness of eggs based on their size, sound, and appearance. The mother's patient and detailed guidance benefited Xiaohong a lot.
In addition, tasting egg dishes with different recipes also made Xiaohong initially understand that changes in cooking methods will affect the nutritional structure of ingredients. She realized that hard-boiled eggs are the best way to lock in nutrients such as protein.
The acquisition of this knowledge will help Xiaohong to know how to choose fresh and high-quality ingredients in the future.
When Xiaohong came out of the market with a basket of golden eggs, she felt that she had gained a lot. This series of hands-on experience in selecting eggs has not only increased my knowledge, but also cultivated practical ability.
Xiaohong happily thought that she was now her mother's best little helper.
Looking at the eggs stacked in the basket, Xiaohong was full of a sense of accomplishment. She is grateful to her mother for her careful teaching, as well as her rare inspiration and growth.
Xiaohong can't wait to go home and share what she has seen and learned today with her father. She believes that more beautiful growth is still waiting for her to discover in the rest of her life.
This personal experience of buying eggs is really rewarding for Xiaohong.
Through this practice, she not only learned to select high-quality and fresh eggs, but also mastered the skills of judging size and freshness, and understood the impact of different cooking methods on nutrition.
This series of knowledge and experience is a valuable asset that will help Xiaohong choose ingredients more wisely in the future.
It turns out that buying eggs seems simple, and there is a lot of knowledge! To distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of varieties, judge the freshness of storage, and understand the changes in cooking nutrition, this requires experience and knowledge.
Fortunately, with her mother's careful guidance on the side, Xiaohong was able to successfully complete the challenge and test of "picking eggs". This rare learning opportunity makes Xiaohong cherish it very much, and she must firmly remember her mother's teachings and continue to practice and apply them in her daily life.
Xiaohong also felt that although she has initially learned to buy eggs, she still has a long way to go before she becomes an excellent little chef, and she still needs to accumulate more and richer knowledge and skills.
However, with her mother and this experience as the cornerstone, Xiaohong believes that she will gradually grow into a wise girl who understands ingredients and can cook.
