Jiro's mother is a fan of Bai Bing Bing, yesterday he and Genie Zhuo went on CtiTV's "Bing Bing's Good Cooking" was nervous making egg fry rice, during his practice he by mistake dropped the wok spade from second floor to the first floor, once it was the official frying, he forgot to make the wok hot first then putting the beated egg in the rice, Bai Bing Bing even asked the two if they're together after they've finished filming? Causing the two to beg and let them go.

The few dramas characters are all related to chefs, Jiro worthy of being named as "Fried Rice Man", Jiro embarassed to say, the skills to make the food was practiced hard, but the main points still have a lot of work to improve. Genie laughed saying she's never stir fried rice, causing the crew to laugh, but Genie going on a cooking program is not weak either, she said: "I'm really good at making white rice."

Jiro yesterday worked hard taking notes, asking the chef of steps, hoping to give his mother an explanation, but he cared too much, during his break he hid praticing the skills, and accidently the wok spade flew out and fell to the ground, frightening a bunch of crew, causing him to be embarassed.

Jiro's fried rice at the end earned 80 points, the smart him took the rice and gave it to Bai Bing Bing and wishing her Happy Mother's Day, causing Bai Bing Bing's heart to warm.
