Chapter 18 (2/2)

Sizzle—

An intense sound came from the pan, and the alluring sound spread out, drifting across half the street.

All kinds of saltiness, fragrance, freshness and sweetness fused together, but it did not seem out of place.

Zhang Tong’s pupils suddenly contracted, revealing an extremely shocked expression.

There were so many ingredients, yet Xu Le was able to handle them perfectly!

Generally speaking, this could only be done by a chef who was extremely experienced.

But… Xu Le was only eight years old!

How long could a eight-year-old child have cooked for?

Half a year… a year?

And that was the maximum amount of time.

However, it was precisely such a young and immature child that was able to process the ingredients to such an extreme. He knew all about what ingredients to add first and later, how many seconds apart should they be added.

Zhang Tong had only seen such terrifying control over the food ingredients from his master.

However, it was a skill built on his master’s decades of experience.

Was this child… really a natural Master Chef?

Under Zhang Tong’s shocked gaze, Xu Le picked up another pot of oil and started boiling it.

Then, he poured the freshly filtered eggs into the pot at a very unique frequency and gradually stirred them.

As the egg stirred rapidly, it was first scattered, then began to spin like a small whirlpool, and pulled into thin strands.

“This is scattered egg!”

Zhang Tong was shocked again.

It was not easy to make scattered egg. And he used a very unique method.

He didn’t think… the kid in front of him could even master this.

He scooped out the egg shreds and poured them onto the fried rice.

The golden fried rice looked like it had a golden crown on.

Xu Le sniffed the fragrance coming from the pan and was very satisfied.

Finally, he sprinkled a handful of onions.

The egg fragrance and rice fragrance of the fried rice were stimulated. After stir-frying for a while, the egg shreds and rice wrapped around each other like exquisite works of art.

Whoosh—

A handful of peas were thrown in, followed by a quick stir-fry!

The peas should have a soft and tender texture, so it could not be fried for a long time.

During the quick stir-frying, a steam was released, carrying the fragrance of various ingredients.

He quickly sprinkled the second batch of scallions, added salt and seasoning, and added the already cooked shrimps and rice wine into the pan.

He turned the fire to high heat and stir-fried for ten seconds.

Then, the food was served perfectly!

Xu Le quickly prepared a bowl and poured the golden rice grains with golden egg shreds into it.

It had the color of gold.

Along with a fragrant smell.

Every grain of rice was full and chewy, as if it could be broken with a blow.

All the other ingredients were perfectly embellished in the dish. Not only did the color of the dish become more vibrant, but it also allowed the aroma of different flavors to interweave with each other, presenting a richer taste experience.

“The fried rice is ready. Have a taste.”

Xu Le placed the bowl of fried rice in front of Zhang Tong, who was dumbfounded.

“Don’t forget to pay later.. This bowl of fried rice… costs 99 yuan”
