Weimo was arranging the stuff that Xiaomin will be needing in order to complete her mission. He had already made arrangements for onions, cutting board/chopping board and knife.
"Minmin..." shouted Weimo urging Xiaomin to come down.....
Happily coming down from the stairs while jumping and singing tunes Xiaomin entered kitchen and her eyes brightened looking at all the arrangements made by Weimo which had made all of her work alot easier.
Running towards Weimo she hugged him tightly while jumping and spoke excitedly while rubbing her hands, "Let's do this. My first mission...."
"Wait" stopping Xioamin from starting right away, Weimo first grabbed a apron and came towards her. Standing behind her he tied the apron on her and explained her, "Let us practice first. I don't want you to hurt yourself. Little practicing won't hurt."
Looking at Weimo Xiaomin whined while shaking her head, "But, its all easy. What is there to practice?"
Holding her head Weimo turned it towards the counter where the items were placed and said, "We will see how easy it is. Start doing."
As soon as he finished he patted Xioamin's shoulders to give her a push to start work.
Murmuring, "How hard can it be just to cut or chop an onion" Xiaomin took the knife in her hands and took the onion in another hand.
Placing the onion on the counter she removed her another hand. Catching the knife with both of her hands she simply barged the knife on the onion which was barely placed properly.
As a result, as soon as the knife touched it's surface the onion rolled down the table.
"The onion was too round" saying Xiaomin picked up another onion and tried the same process which ended up in the same result.
"In order to cut something that can roll, you have to catch it with one of your hands." came Weimo's voice from her behind.
Nodding her head this time Xiaomin used one of her hand to hold the onion while other hand held knife which was not firmly held and was dangling left and right. Xiaomin was not holding the onion, basically she was protecting the onion from knife using her fingers....
Unable to witness the result of this trial Weimo simply caught her both hands least she would surely get hurt.
Noticing both of her hands being caught, Xiaomin looked at Weimo innocently while asking, "What happened?"
Smiling Weimo answered her while shaking his head, "Nothing, I thought why to waste your time. Let me teach you directly instead of you trying with them and getting tired."
Smiling Xiaomin accepted and nodded her head side to side while exhaling deeply and murmuring, "Yes, I am starting to get tired."
Hearing that Xiaomin had started to get tired he kept on wondering,'What has she done to get tired?'
Holding the knife in his hand and trying to weigh it Weimo thought, 'The knife is also not heavy, why is she tired then? It seems I have to take her for a checkup.'
