On a cold winter day, Mo Yanyu's home is filled with a warm atmosphere. Today, he and Xingxing have decided to have a family cooking challenge and prepare some dishes they have never tried before.
In the morning, as the first rays of sunlight stream through the window into the house, Mo Yanyu is already busy in the kitchen. The kitchen is not large, but it is well-organized, with all kinds of cooking utensils ready for use, and today they will be put to good use.
"Xingxing, today we are going to make a special dish, are you looking forward to it?" Mo Yanyu asked softly, his voice carrying the usual seriousness but with a touch of gentleness.
Xingxing nodded, her big eyes shining brightly. "Looking forward to it, Uncle Mo. What dish are we going to make?" Her voice was full of excitement.
"We are going to challenge ourselves to make 'Rainbow Pizza' and 'Magic Jelly' today. These two dishes are colorful and must taste very good." Mo Yanyu said, taking out a bunch of fresh ingredients from the refrigerator, various vegetables and fruits, colorful, making people happy just by looking at them.
Star jumped up excitedly, "Wow, Rainbow Pizza! Magic Jelly! They sound so delicious!"
First, they began making rainbow pizza. Mo Yanyu was responsible for kneading the pizza dough, while Xingxing helped prepare the vegetables for the pizza. Mo Yanyu spread the dough evenly on the pizza pan, then demonstrated to Xingxing how to evenly spread the tomato sauce on the dough.
"Xingxing, now it's your turn. Try putting these colorful vegetables on the dough," Mo Yanyu encouraged.
Star carefully picked up a piece of red pepper, then a yellow pepper, and a green pepper, arranging them in color order as if painting. "Uncle Mo, is this right?" she asked as she worked.
"Very good, Star, you're doing great," Mo Yanyu praised with a smile, his voice full of admiration.
Next, they put the pizza into the preheated oven, and as the set time slowly passed, the two of them began the next kitchen adventure—making magic jelly.
Mo Yanyu took out several bags of colorful jelly powder, carefully checking the instructions on the back to ensure the proportions were accurate. His expression was focused, his movements precise, as if conducting a precise experiment. While pouring the jelly powder into a large bowl, he slowly added hot water, then gently stirred with a spoon to ensure the jelly powder completely dissolved.
At the same time, Xingxing was busy with another task. Her small hands held a plastic knife, and she was focused on cutting apples, bananas, and strawberries into small pieces. Although her knife skills were not as precise as Mo Yanyu's, every piece of fruit she cut was filled with her love for the work. "Uncle Mo, I'm done cutting!" Xingxing excitedly showed Mo Yanyu plates of colorful fruit pieces.
Mo Yanyu nodded gently and gave Xingxing an encouraging smile. "Well done, Xingxing," he said in a gentle voice, his eyes filled with approval.
Next, Xingxing carefully placed the cut fruit pieces into the jelly molds one by one. Each mold was arranged with vibrant colors, resembling tiny pieces of art. Mo Yanyu then slowly poured the dissolved jelly liquid into the molds, covering the fruit, and gently shook to ensure the even distribution of the jelly liquid.
"Uncle Mo, when can we eat our magical jelly?" Xingxing asked eagerly, her eyes fixed on the colorful molds.
"They need to solidify in the refrigerator for a while, probably a few hours," Mo Yanyu explained, and then they put the jelly into the refrigerator to chill.
"Then let's wait for them to turn into magic jelly!" Star jumped up excitedly, full of anticipation.
In the warm kitchen, Mo Yanyu and Xingxing's cooking time is filled with laughter and joy. However, during the preparation process, there are always some small incidents that add a lot of fun.
When Xingxing tried to cut an orange into decorative slices, perhaps due to too much force, the orange ended up being completely flattened. Seeing this unexpected result, Xingxing was first stunned, then she looked at Mo Yanyu and suddenly burst into laughter, a laughter that was pure and infectious.
Mo Yanyu was originally focused on decorating the jelly, but when he heard Star's laughter, he couldn't help but turn his head curiously. As he turned, the bottle of jelly in his hand became unstable, and a large portion of the jelly spilled onto the pristine kitchen floor, creating a mess.
At first, Mo Yanyu was somewhat stunned, but when he saw Star's carefree smile, his serious expression gradually melted, and he said with a laugh, "It seems that today we not only have a cooking challenge, but also a cleaning challenge." His tone revealed a sense of ease and humor, which was particularly precious coming from him, who is usually very serious.
The stars heard Mo Yanyu joking and laughed even more joyfully. She ran to Mo Yanyu and grabbed the mop, saying, "Uncle Mo, I'll help with the cleaning!" Her enthusiasm and optimism infected Mo Yanyu, making the whole cleaning process relaxed and enjoyable.
While cleaning, they were able to joke with each other, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. These little episodes did not affect their good mood, but instead added a lot of fun and warm memories to this cooking experience.
After everything was cleaned up, the two of them returned to the task of cooking. This time, they were more careful, but the joy and warmth still filled every corner of the kitchen.
The laughter of the two echoed in the kitchen. Despite some small accidents during the process, this was the fun of family cooking. They enjoyed a lot of laughter in the process of preparing the dishes, making this cooking challenge full of warmth and fun.
Time flies in their laughter. Finally, the rainbow pizza is baked to a golden crisp in the oven, emitting a fragrant aroma, while the magic jelly has solidified in the refrigerator, displaying a colorful and enticing sheen.
As Mo Yanyu carefully takes the pizza out of the oven and places it on a tray to cool, Star has already eagerly come over to watch. "Wow, it smells so good! Uncle Mo, can we taste it now?" Star asks expectantly, with a glint of greed in his eyes.
"After it cools down a bit, you can taste the fruits of your labor," Mo Yanyu replied with a smile, then turned to take out the magical jelly from the refrigerator, carefully removing it from the mold and placing it on a plate.
Seeing those colorful jellies, Xingxing couldn't help but clap and cheer, "It's so beautiful, Uncle Mo, our jellies look like gemstones, don't they?"
Mo Yanyu nodded gently, "Yes, it looks just like it. The gem jelly of the stars." His words carried an admiration for the pure creative power of the stars.
Finally, the time came to taste the food they had made with their own hands. Mo Yanyu cut the pizza into small pieces and handed one to the star first. "Be careful, it's hot," he reminded warmly.
Star carefully blew on it, then took a bite. A satisfied smile immediately appeared on her face. "Delicious, Uncle Mo, you should try it too," she said firmly, excited as if she had discovered a new continent.
Mo Yanyu also took a bite. The pizza was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with the fresh taste of vegetables and the rich aroma of cheese perfectly blended, making it irresistible. "Star's pizza is indeed special," he praised, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Next, they together tasted the magic jelly. The jelly was chewy, sweet but not cloying, and the burst of fresh fruit particles mixed in it made the whole tasting process full of surprises.
After the meal, Mo Yanyu and Xingxing started to clean up the kitchen together. They put the used tableware and cookware into the sink, ready to wash them. Xingxing actively offered to help, pulling up a small stool to stand next to the sink, holding a sponge in her little hand, imitating Mo Yanyu's actions in an attempt to wash a plate.
"Uncle Mo, I want to help too!" Star's voice was full of excitement and anticipation, her little face showing a serious expression.
Mo Yanyu smiled slightly, nodded, and felt gratified by Star's active participation. "Okay, Star. But be careful not to get your clothes wet," he gently instructed, while also preparing a towel in case Star accidentally splashed water.
During the cleaning process, Mo Yanyu chatted easily with Star about ingredients and cooking, making the tidying up less tedious. Star listened with great interest, occasionally exclaiming "Wow" as her curiosity was fully aroused.
"Uncle Mo, why do fruits need to be refrigerated inside jelly to solidify?" Star asked curiously, while diligently wiping the plates in her hands.
Mo Yan's Words After a pause, he began to explain, "That's because the jelly powder contains an ingredient called gelatin, which needs to solidify in a cold environment. By adding fruit and refrigerating it, the jelly becomes both visually appealing and delicious." His tone was calm but full of patience, and every word made Xingxing feel curious and interested.
Xingxing's eyes lit up after listening. "I understand! Uncle Mo is really smart!" she said happily, then immediately immersed herself in the task of washing dishes. Her small figure was busy in the kitchen light, filled with happiness and contentment.
Night falls again, and the home of Mo Yanyu is still filled with warmth and laughter. Today's cooking challenge not only brought them delicious dishes, but also made the bond of this small family even closer. Nestled next to Mo Yanyu, Star softly said, "Uncle Mo, I'm really happy today. I love you so much."
Mo Yanyu gently touched Star's head and said, "I love you too, Star." On this peaceful night, their hearts drew even closer.
On this day, Mo Yanyu and Xingxing not only learned new cooking techniques, but also deepened their understanding and love for each other. In this home filled with laughter and warmth, every day is a precious and happy moment to cherish.
