While busy, Xie Baomin called out to Song Dahai, "This isn't a soccer match, Old Song. Stop commentating and help me blanch some baby bok choy for the plating, with the roots facing out."
Song Dahai muttered, "Damn it, after sharing a couple of cups of tea, you start bossing me around..."
The baby bok choy was already washed and ready. Song Dahai boiled a pot of water, added some peanut oil, and a pinch of salt. Once the water boiled, he poured the baby bok choy inside and blanched it until it turned bright green before taking it out. He then rinsed it with cold water, drained it, and laid it on the plate with the roots facing out.
