The leopard cat meowed at her again.
"You're hungry? I'm hungry, too. I don't know what to eat." Qiao Mianmian stroked the cat for a while before walking towards the kitchen.
She woke up early.
But the production crew got up even earlier than her.
Seeing Qiao Mianmian, a photographer started taking photos of her.
Qiao Mianmian greeted him and asked, "Brother Li, have you had breakfast?"
The photographer shook his head.
Qiao Mianmian searched the kitchen and found some rice and noodles and a basket of eggs.
She thought for a while and said, "Brother Li, I'm preparing breakfast. Do you want to eat with me?"
"How could I?" The photographer shook his head.
"It's nothing. I have to make more, anyway." Qiao Mianmian smiled. "But I only know how to make simple dishes. Just don't find them awful."
How could the photographer reject such a beautiful girl's cooking?
"Thank you, Miss Qiao."
"I'll take a look at the vegetable field. I can make some side dishes and porridge."
The vegetable garden was in the courtyard.
When she first arrived, Qiao Mianmian had seen it before. Although the vegetable garden was small, there were many suitable vegetables.
As she walked to the courtyard and looked around the vegetable garden, she picked a pumpkin and some green pepper cabbage.
Back in the kitchen.
The photographer asked, "Miss Qiao, what are you planning to do?"
Qiao Mianmian poured the vegetables she just picked into the basin and said as she washed them, "I just found some flour. I can make a pumpkin pie later, and the rest of the pumpkins can be made into porridge. As for the green pepper, I'll make a green pepper fried egg and stir-fry a little cabbage."
The photographer saw that she wasn't old, and her hands were fair and tender. She looked like she'd been pampered since she was young and didn't seem to do housework often.
He couldn't help but ask, "Does Miss Qiao usually cook?"
"No," Qiao Mianmian said honestly. "I'm usually too lazy to cook. I either eat outside or order takeaway. But I know how to make simple home-cooked dishes."
"There aren't many girls who can cook these days." The photographer couldn't help but praise her.
Especially a beautiful girl like Qiao Mianmian. Not many could cook.
In the previous episode, a few female artistes made a lot of jokes about cooking.
For example, washing noodles, treating salt as MSG1, and treating MSG as sugar.
Another example was washing clothes with his hands. He poured in half a bag of washing powder at once, and the whole sky was filled with foam.
Even ordinary families were pampered since they were children.
Hence, the photographer was shocked to see that Qiao Mianmian could cook.
"I only know how to do simple things." There was no one else around, so Qiao Mianmian casually said, "I just learned some basic life skills."
"It's already pretty good."
After Qiao Mianmian cut the pumpkin, she used half of it to cook porridge, and the other half to boil in clear water.
She found some flour and prepared to make a pumpkin pie.
Another half an hour passed.
She had already cooked two dishes and the porridge was almost done.
There was a lot of food in the pot.
The porridge was enough for eight to nine people.
Monosodium glutamate (MSG), also known as sodium glutamate, is the sodium salt of glutamic acid.
