The senior chef pretends to supervise, but slowly gets sleepy. When BAOBAO finishes a beautiful basket of xiaolongbao, the senior chef cannot resist the smell and secretly eats one. BAOBAO catches him. Instead of getting angry, BAOBAO uses playful martial-arts-style cooking footwork to protect the remaining dumplings. In the end, the senior chef admits the dumplings are delicious and proudly approves BAOBAO. Timeline: 0-3s: Medium full-body shot inside the warm kitchen.
