Xue Yang took the cabbage out of the bag and placed it in a basket. "You can tear the cabbage by hand. Rip it up however you like; it doesn't matter."
It was a simple task. Lin Xi took the basket and said, "Okay."
Xue Yang cut the eggplant while Lin Xi tore the cabbage. The two of them worked in perfect sync, as if they had done this countless times before.
Xue Yang cut the eggplants into strips and soaked them in water.
"Xue Yang, why do the eggplants need to be soaked in water after being washed?"
"Eggplants contain an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase, which oxidizes when it comes into contact with the air, causing the surface to turn black. Soaking them in water prevents oxidation and maintains their fresh color."
