He leaned against the door frame, looking like he was about to watch the show.
Tiger had no choice but to search for the ingredients in his house.
The family has plenty of vegetables and eggs, but Tiger can't find a way to combine them properly.

Xiao Mengjie was laughing so hard her stomach hurt, and she couldn't bear to watch anymore, so she finally rolled up her sleeves again.
