Chen Ji put on his pajamas and followed to the kitchen.

It's only four o'clock in the afternoon, so there's plenty of time to prepare dinner. Guan Xuexi found the seasoning jar of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and took out a stalk of broccoli and a piece of pork belly from the refrigerator.

"Do you want to stay overnight?" Chen Ji leaned against the kitchen door, watching him cook with interest.

Guan Xue said without raising her head, "I want to stay with you for your birthday, but my mother might get angry. I'll call and ask later."

He stared intently at the familiar yet unfamiliar green vegetable in his hand - he was familiar with it because he had eaten it often, but he hadn't seen it in its entirety before it was put into the pot, so he didn't know how to deal with it.

Guan Xuexi understood common sense, she had to wash the vegetables first.

But broccoli is not as easy to wash as tomatoes and beans. After rinsing it under the tap for a long time, he faintly felt that this was wrong, as it could not clean the dust hidden deep in the gaps of the flower buds.

Guan Xuexi looked back at Chen Ji.

"Do you want me to help?" Chen Ji walked to him and asked proactively.

Guan Xuexi shook her head, insisting on self-reliance and self-improvement: "No, I can do it."

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and searched the web page: "how to eat broccoli".

Chen Ji: "..."

"Hey, Guan Xuexi." Chen Ji couldn't help laughing, "What's the difference between asking Baidu and asking me?"

Chen Ji took his mobile phone away, put it out of the way, and hugged him from behind.

Guan Xuexi was squeezed between the opponent's chest and the cooking table, and said: "You are so annoying, can you stop making trouble?"

"It's not to make trouble, I'll teach you." Chen Ji hugged him tightly, holding his left hand with his left hand and his right hand with his right hand, and helped him wash the vegetables himself.

"It's fine to just rush it, and cut it first."

Chen Ji took Guan Xuexi's hand, took out the kitchen knife from the knife holder, and cut the broccoli into small pieces.

"Pay attention when cutting," he said, "cut along the stem, one by one, and be whole, otherwise it will break when you fry it later."

Guan Xuexi blinked: "And then?"

Chen Ji took out a small plastic basin, put the chopped broccoli in it, and said, "Take warm water and sprinkle salt. Soak in salt water for fifteen minutes to kill the insect eggs in the flower buds and float them out."

"Eggs?" Guan Xuexi shook her goosebumps.

Chen Ji nodded, rubbed the flower buds and said, "There may be such gaps, so we have to clean them up and blanch them before putting them into the pot."

"..."

It's so troublesome, Guan Xuexi just now had an ambition to be a full banquet. However, before the first dish was washed, he fell down.

But Chen Ji is very patient, he enjoys the feeling of cooking with Guan Xuexi, or in other words, he can do anything.

Chen Ji suddenly opened the door of the rice noodle storage cabinet, scooped out a spoonful of flour, and sprinkled it into the brine in which the broccoli was soaked.
