Chapter 6: God Tier Egg Fried Rice

Watching the tables and chairs disappearing one after another, Yuan Zhou’s heart wept in sorrow, his tears were like wide noodles, just like those characters in cartoons. To avoid the heartache, he decided to accept his reward first, to comfort his wounded heart.

He tapped on the mission reward and directly received it.

The words “God Tier Egg Fried Rice” turned into a book. While Yuan Zhou was seriously gazing at the book, a blast of light burst forth from it and wrapped around his head. It then entered his brain and disappeared.

Egg Fried Rice is one of the most basic foods in the Chinese cuisine. Almost anyone with some culinary skill can prepare this dish. People who don’t possess culinary skills may also prepare this ordinary dish to stave of hunger.

Everybody has different methods for preparing this dish. Thus, the Egg Fried Rice evolved into several types, including Yangzhou Fried Rice, Sunset Fried Rice, Ham Fried Rice and Diced Chicken Fried rice, etc.

Several basic requirements were necessary in order to prepare this dish. The egg has to be fresh and tender while the texture of the rice should be neither too hard nor too soft. Furthermore, the scent of these two ingredients has to blend well.

In the television series “Master Chef Zhang Dongguan”, the Egg Fried Rice was described in a way such that every 3 to 5 grains of rice must be mixed well with the beaten egg. In the television series of “Cooking Master Boy”, the Golden Fried Rice in the show could even give of a bright golden light.

The Egg Fried Rice recipe rewarded by the system definitely couldn’t give off the golden light, but, from the selection of rice grains, water, cooking temperature, to even how much rice is necessary for different size of eggs, all the information and skills needed had been provided.

Having understood that, Yuan Zhou felt that all the Egg Fried Rice he had cooked before could be compared to shoddy pig feed. No! Even worse than pig feed.

The mysterious light that entered his brain previously was his reward from the system. It contained all the culinary knowledge needed to create the God Tier Fried Rice, thus allowing Yuan Zhou to possess a deep understanding and mastery over the dish. The newly acquired knowledge and skills inherited by Yuan Zhou was equivalent to approximately 10 years of experience, it was just like an ordinary person receiving internal energy cultivated by his master for years, which greatly improved his Kung Fu.

Opening his eyes, Yuan Zhou couldn’t resist the power welling inside him.

“Dong Dong Dong”

After walking down the stairway, Yuan Zhou prepared to enter the kitchen to test the God Tier Egg Fried Rice recipe in his head.

Nevertheless, the system showed the words, “Update in process, 8 hours more to completion.” when he got to the end of the stairway.

……………

Having received such a blow from the system, all Yuan Zhou could do was try to calm down. He went back to his room and lay down on the bed.

After 8 hours, it would be the next day. Even just by relying on his skill of preparing the Egg Fried Rice dish, he believed he could achieve the peak of his life without selling anything else. Thinking of that, he got a little excited.

On the other hand, he was also considering the purchase of more materials and items. He started calculating the money left in his pocket and how to best make use of it.

After tossing and turning repeatedly like a fish being fried, Yuan Zhou fell asleep. As for the suspicious liquid at the corner of his mouth, there was no need for further explanation.

After all, as a nice young man with an honest mind and ambitions, nothing could make him more excited than the red 100 RMB bills, besides, of course dreaming about the goddesses stored in his hard drive.

Yuan Zhou was anxious to check how well the small restaurant had been renovated, thus he rushed down to the 1st floor and flip the light switches after he dealing with his personal hygiene upstairs.

“What!?”

Standing at the stairway, Yuan Zhou couldn’t help uttering an English word.

He walked to the center of the main hall hastily.

The entire restaurant had been rebuilt into an open kitchen. Two flower racks were placed respectively on both sides of the door. Some unknown flowers were already growing vigorously on them. The light blue matched the green grass background fairly well.

As for the table, it was a curved long table just like from Midnight Canteen, which surrounded the kitchen. At the inner side of the table were an azure stone countertop and a hand sink for handling various types of foodstuff. In front of the table, there were four comfortable high chairs, brown in color, the chairs blended harmoniously with the dinning surroundings. Another four chairs were placed respectively at each end of the curved long table. Eight chairs in total took up all positions available along the long table.
