Having a cook at home makes me happy

Subtitle #e#

"Cherish life and stay away from the kitchen" - in the hot summer, when the heat is unbearable, everyone is staying away from the kitchen with such slogans, but college student He Yong forces his mother to practice cooking in the kitchen every day.

It is not new for boys to cook occasionally, but unfortunately this summer there are more of them. They are college students, the pride of the world, the darlings of the family, and gentlemen who do not want to be "far away from the kitchen". They just love to manipulate these pots and pans...

　　In the hot summer, a "cooking man" suddenly appeared in the kitchen

After receiving the postgraduate admission letter from Nanjing University of Science and Technology, He Yong was unemployed at home.

A few days later, his QQ mood suddenly changed to "Learning to be a house cook at home..." This change didn't matter, as his friends from all over the country advised him on QQ to "stop being so pessimistic." Why should a grown man confine himself to the kitchen?

"There is no other way! To keep the 'cooked duck'." He Yong said with a smile. It turned out that he had a girlfriend who was one grade lower than him. Because he was worried that the "cooked duck would fly away" while he was studying for a master's degree in Nanjing, he made up his mind to capture the last territory - the kitchen.

It turned out that during the postgraduate entrance examination, He Yong's girlfriend often cooked for him. One time, he made things worse in the kitchen, and his girlfriend said angrily, "If you don't learn how to cook well, you are not allowed to enter the kitchen." It was just a joke, but He Yong took it seriously. After hard work, he achieved remarkable results. Now the dishes he cooks are praised by his girlfriend.

"We may be together less and more apart in the future, so I want to cherish every moment we can communicate. More importantly, I hope our future will be filled with sweetness in the kitchen," said He Yong.

Compared with He Yong's "harmonious" plan in the kitchen, Tang Hu's approach from the 2005 journalism class of Xinxiang College of Xiangtan University is more like "building a nest to attract the phoenix".

"I won't wait until I find a girlfriend. I'll start learning to cook from now on." His status on campus changed, triggering many replies.

Poor Tang Hu not only had to endure the smoke and fire in the kitchen, but also had to be criticized by his friends online: "Your girlfriend has such a single function", "It turns out that your girlfriend only cooks for you!" He hurriedly explained that he wanted to practice his cooking skills during the summer vacation to prepare to solve the problem of food for his "true love" who had not yet appeared.

"Once you learn it, the market will be bigger," said his junior Deng Xuepin with a smile.

Hu Nan from Wuhan University has also been active in the kitchen every day this summer.

"She can cook now, but not as fast as I can. Cooking in the summer is hard, so I do it all the time." Hu Nan, who came to Beijing for an internship with his girlfriend during the summer vacation, said, "I didn't know how to cook before this summer, but she didn't know how to cook, so I had to learn!"

After coming to Beijing for internship, without the "logistical support" of the school cafeteria, he could only roll up his sleeves and go into the kitchen. "At home, I can eat very well for 5 yuan per meal. It's not cost-effective to eat out." #p#Subtitle#e#

Meng Dai from Hunan University of International Business and Economics is a girl who doesn't want to cook. She said that "to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach" was the education content of her grandmother's era. The Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues and the Three Obediences and Four Virtues are now lines in costume dramas. Liberated women can no longer stay at home and in the kitchen.

"Someone once said, 'Whoever falls in love first loses, and whoever says he can cook first is doomed to be confined to the kitchen.' I want to leave the kitchen to my husband." Meng Dai added, "It is no longer the era of 'little women'. 'Being able to go out to the living room and into the kitchen' has become a requirement for men in the new era."#p#Subtitle#e#

　　Whether to be a "cooking man" has caused controversy

Faced with the temptation of "cooking with my wife is a very romantic thing", countless "men" are willing to learn cooking skills during the summer vacation. Although operating a spatula in the kitchen on a hot day is a "sweet burden", in the eyes of many people, it is also a "resource reserve" for love. After all, "once you start working, you won't have time for this."

Although there are many supporters, there are also many opponents. "I absolutely can't do it!" said Ni Yin from Ludong University. "A young person should have more important things to do. A man who has free time to learn how to cook is either incompetent or has no ideals!"

Facing the controversy, Guo Chuntao from Southwest University of Political Science and Law said: "In fact, learning to cook is a matter of survival. Now we are all office workers, and whoever gets home first has to cook. Only in this way can life be lasting and harmonious!" He already has some cooking skills and said he doesn't mind being a "boiler."
