Video transcript
Bought some ingredients at Zhongbai Supermarket Also went to DM to buy some snacks for the kids Every time I buy groceries, I look so disheveled So heavy! My shoulders hurt so much Good morning, I'm Jiajia I just dropped my daughter off at daycare Then came home and put on some makeup Now I'm about to make breakfast Today I'm going to make my favorite breakfast The ingredients needed are very simple Avocado, toast, eggs, and butter Let's toast the bread first Now crack an egg Now start frying the egg Add a little butter Once the butter melts, pour the
egg in Then stir it a bit Next, it's very simple Spread the avocado on top Wow! This avocado pit is so big It can be used for water propagation Then put the egg on top Add a little black pepper Add a little salt And personally, I also like to add a bit of Lacha sauce Because I like eating spicy food Put it on the plate Now make a cup of coffee Everyone knows this kind of coffee pot, right? Making coffee is also very simple Only a few steps First, pour water Second, add coffee powder Shake it a little Third, put it in Then close it Turn on the heat Wait
one or two minutes It's done Pour it into the coffee cup This is my breakfast Then I'll start enjoying it A bee flew over What should I do Can I still drink this coffee? I'm so afraid it will bite me Ah, I'm leaving now Wash the dishes after breakfast Spray water on the plants This plant is called a money tree in Chinese It has grown new leaves. Is it a sign that I'm going to get rich? Then lie on the sofa and binge-watch shows. The Good Wife is one of my favorite American TV series. When I lack motivation, or when I don't know what to watch, I often
pull it out and watch it again. I've probably watched it six or seven times by now. I think the female lead, Alicia, is a very real and well-rounded character. She has both good and bad sides. She is very ambitious. Sometimes she's also a bit selfish. Her life is full of ups and downs. Seeing her grow step by step, gives me great inspiration. Now I'm going to prepare lunch. I'm actually not very hungry, so I'll just make a simple salad. This salad is very simple. You need one tomato, one mozzarella ball, and a little basil. Okay, let's start. Cut the
tomato into chunks. Cut the mozzarella into chunks as well. Then place them one by one Add basil leaves for decoration A little vinegar A little olive oil A little black pepper Done Fast, right? It took less than five minutes Drink this water Because I'm making Chinese food tonight So now I'm going to the supermarket to buy some groceries Oh, by the way, I got a haircut Can you tell? It's much shorter than before Because it was really too long before Washing and blow-drying my hair was exhausting This was done at a Japanese hair salon I told her I wanted
a medium-long layered cut Then I showed her a picture of Rachel from *Friends* as a reference What do you think? Okay, let's go now Quickly put the groceries in the fridge I have to go pick up my daughter from daycare soon But we won't go straight home I plan to take her to the playground Let her burn off some energy I'll cook some rice in advance. So the rice will be ready when I get home. This rice cooker has a countdown timer. Let's cook two cups of rice. I usually rinse it twice. Then add water. Inside, you can see. It will tell you. If you're
cooking rice, how much water to add for two cups of rice. Select rice, then set the countdown. That way, it'll be done in two and a half hours. Well, I'm heading out now. In the end, we still didn't have Chinese food for dinner. We decided last minute to have Thai curry. Because... Because we found there was still half a pack left. The leftover seasoning from last time that we hadn't used. After putting the kid to bed, I went upstairs and saw the sunset was so beautiful today. The child is asleep. I plan to treat myself. Have an ice cream and a little
drink. Want more? One more scoop. Three spoonfuls That's enough Create a cozy atmosphere Light a candle Late-night snack time begins Still need to find a video to watch Let me recommend a YouTuber I really like Called Little Chinese Everywhere She has many travel videos in China, very good!
