How many grams of oil to put? How many milliliters of water to put? ......" Chinese dumbfounded, unable to answer. Later, he went to the German kitchen to point out, and found that the kitchen was like a laboratory, with measuring cups, measuring cylinders, and kitchen utensils and knives lined up, like an armory...... Eventually, the Chinese found themselves unable to cook.
