There were too many people. When the outdoor group, indoor group and studio group were all standing together, Chen Chen actually felt a little crowded.

"Ah~ Inna~"

"Long time no see, Brother Jidong! How come you were also dragged here by this kid?"

"Senior Pumei~Here here~"

"..."

The others didn't feel crowded. As soon as the two groups met, they started greeting each other crazily, as if everyone in the world was an acquaintance. Even Bae Joo-hyun went over and said a few words to Seul-gi.

Sulli, who was originally standing next to Chen Chen, was also called away by Lee Ji-eun, and she gathered together with Liu Inna to chat.

Chen Chen found the scene in front of him interesting, so he simply pulled up a chair and watched quietly.

Kim Jong Kook first started chatting with Kim Je-dong and HAHA, and later Pu Mi, who had a good relationship with them, also joined in. The atmosphere among them was very casual, because Kim Jong Kook, who currently has the highest status, is actually a very easy-going person if you don't look at his muscular body.

Liu Inna, Li Zhien, Sulli and Goo Hara, who were already good friends, naturally stood together and whispered something to each other. They were the ones laughing the loudest in the whole audience.

Chen Chen originally thought that Xu Xian would suffer a little in interpersonal communication, but this time, with the presence of two juniors who used to work at SMART, she was able to build her own small circle and was not at a disadvantage.

But who would have thought that Bae Joo-hyun is the one who should be called unnie in this small circle of three?
Suzy and Tzuyu stood together, Tzuyu brought along Jisoo, who she had just become acquainted with, and Jisoo brought along her teammate Rose. A loose alliance of people who had met before but were not familiar with each other was thus assembled.

The two studio hosts naturally joined this loose alliance later on. After all, there was no room for them in other people's homes, so this was the only choice they had.

Strictly speaking, Chen Chen also had people on his side. Behind him stood a whole row of photographers carrying cameras.

More than a dozen guests were invited to the scene, and together with the fixed cameras, it took more than thirty cameras and forty to fifty staff members. Today's live broadcast was truly a big production from beginning to end.

"Everyone, I think we should let today's protagonist speak."

The loose alliance ran out of topics to talk about at first, so Jeon Hyun-moo stepped forward and pushed Chen Chen to the front of the stage to end this period of free chatting.

"Those of you who are confident in your cooking skills, come forward and follow me. The rest of you, go and decorate the room we're going to use for dinner. Everything is already there, so just arrange it yourselves."

Chen Chen looked relaxed and told everyone very clearly that this was the last task.

"Then we may have to eat at seven o'clock today, which is a bit early."

Kim Jong Kook checked the time and spoke.

"It's not too early. This time is just right." Chen Chen just smiled and said, "There are many of us. After we sit down, we will have to talk for a long time. We will eat very slowly."

"Okay, those who can cook, please stand up." Chen Chen clapped his hands and brought the topic back on track. "The more people like this, the more efficient we will be."

"..."

"Well, you are all worthy of being artists." Looking at Sulli and Bae Joo-hyun beside him, Chen Chen could only smile bitterly, "If there are more, the standard can be lowered a bit!"

"I'll do something simple."

Liu Inna stood up.

"Okay, that's enough." Chen Chen nodded and motioned for her to come over to him.

"Although I'm doing pretty well, there are obviously places here that are more suitable for me, so I won't go there."

Jin Jidong is very self-aware and knows that it would be better for him to perform his show outside where there are many people.

"It should be so." Chen Chen nodded again, and then looked at Park Na-rae next to Jin Ji-dong, "What about Na-rae, senior? Can't a person living alone cook?"

"I only know how to drink." Park Na-rae was a little embarrassed, "As for cooking, it's all done by the merchants."

“……”No one spoke again.

That’s right. It’s better to expect the delivery riders to drive faster than to expect these pretty successful artists to cook for themselves.

Suzy, Seohyun, Goo Hara, Jeon Hyunmoo okok, just read their names and you will know it is time to give up.

"Then I'll just call you over, just come and help me." Chen Chen didn't plan to drag it down, nor did he plan to be polite anymore, "Suzy, Tzuyu, you two come over here, I'll be more comfortable with it."

"Okay Oppa."

The two had no objections and walked obediently from the crowd to Chen Chen.

"You are only allowed to cut vegetables, not cook!" Chen Chen told Zhixiu seriously, "The chef of Hell's Kitchen is not allowed to use his power today!"

"What about me, Brother Chenchen?"

Zhou Ziyu asked.

"Just keep an eye on Ji Soo and don't let her mess around, and do something else within your ability." Chen Chen suddenly thought of something, "Oh, after you finish the work I assigned you, you can teach Ji Soo how to make dumplings. If you don't know how, you can learn together by watching the videos online."

"..."

……

"I originally thought it would be a lively scene with everyone cooking at least one dish, but I didn't expect that in the end there would be a clear division of labor between the front and back kitchens, and the people in the kitchen had to do the work in the kitchen."

Chen Chen had a complicated expression, feeling powerless as if his plan had failed.

"You're kind of taking it for granted to expect artists to be able to cook." Shirley tied up her hair and bumped into Chen Chen, "Hurry up, Chef Chen. I think the workload is quite heavy today."

"It's not that big. A lot of the ingredients we bought were processed directly, so it's not a big deal. But it does take a lot longer than expected." Chen Chen smacked his lips, "Why don't we put a few decks of cards in front, so they can have some fun after they're done."

"That's not necessary." Pei Zhuxuan put on an apron and stood over. With fewer people around, she felt much more relaxed. "Let's just move faster. Don't underestimate your efficiency."

"I know~"

Chen Chen seemed to be infected by her ease and always had the urge to pinch her nose.

"Oppa Chen, which one should I cut first?"

Zhixiu suddenly appeared in front of Chen Chen with vegetables in her left hand and a knife in her right hand, which brought his attention back to his original intention.

"Cut this into strips, this into dices, and this into chunks." Chen Chen pointed at the three ingredients quickly, and then pointed to the location of the ladle and basin. "Put them over there for later use. Someone will come to pick them up."

"Got it!" Jin Zhixiu raised the vegetables to her face and winked at Chen Chen confidently, "Just wait and see!"

Chen Chen had no expectations, he was just wondering what the audience's reaction would be if Ji Soo had raised the kitchen knife with the wrong hand just now, seeing this huge contrast.

"What about me?" Liu Renna was a little excited as it was her first time experiencing such a scene. "What should I do? Also, I know Chen Chen can cook, but when did Irene and Sulli learn this?"

When Chen Chen heard this question, he looked at Liu Renna in surprise, and then he couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at Shirley.

The meaning is very clear. This silly girl doesn’t even know about your business?
"I basically stopped being an artist when I arrived at C headquarters. I focused on self-cultivation." Sulli lied without taking a breath. "Cooking is actually a very self-cultivating activity, so I just focused on it."

"So why didn't you suggest cooking when we were playing together?" Liu Inna caught the blind spot.

Shirley pouted her lips, and her appearance was somewhat similar to Chen Chen.

"I can cultivate myself slowly by doing things. It would be a waste of time if I do it for you. I won't do it."
