Volume 1 Chapter 2.4 - Shimizu-san and Cooking Class
Shimizu-san and Cooking Class 4
“Next, onions…”
Shimizu-san’s expression was somewhat uneasy.
“Now that the cabbage is done, the onions will be fine too.”
I had already cut the carrots and pork ribs, so our work would be finished when the onions were cut.
“Then I’ll cut them.”
Right, I didn’t tell her earlier, but I should teach her how to adjust her hand when she uses a knife.
“Shimizu-san, do you know what a cat’s paw is? “
“Cat’s paw?”
“When you use a knife, the hand that is holding onto the food should be shaped like a cat’s paw so that you don’t accidentally cut yourself.”
“What shape should a cat’s paw look like?? “
Of course, the fingers should be lightly folded, but I think it’s hard to convey the idea just by saying it to her. I made my left hand into a cat’s paw and held it out in front of Shimizu-san.
