Chapter 7: Most Austere Most delicious and Most…Expensive

“Are you freaking serious?”

Yuan Zhou felt that even if he was a money monger, he would still strive to earn it in a proper and just way, but it seems that the system was far superior to him in that sense. It made sense if five-star hotels charged 188 RMB for an Egg Fried Rice due to their superior environment and excellent service which they provided. Just what kind of services could his small restaurant provide?

The system reads, “The host can try his own cooking first.”

The system rarely gave suggestions, furthermore, Yuan Zhou was anxious to try the Egg Fried Rice dish rewarded by the system.

He found the rice cooker next to the hand sink and made the necessary preparations to start. The cooker was really strange.

For ordinary cookers, there would be nothing else but the Cook and Heat Preservation selections. Better ones may have Stewed Soup and Steamed Dishes selections. But the cooker rewarded by the system even had Rice Used for Egg Fried Rice and Temperature options.

Yuan Zhou took out rice from the cabinet and washed them. Then he chose the option, Rice Used for Egg Fried Rice. He felt that the rice was different from what he usually used. Therefore, he couldn’t help but picked handful to have a closer look.

The rice glowed with a bright luster and each grain was approximately the same size. Tempted by the clean rice fragrance, one couldn’t help but give in to the urge to sample those grains.

“It seems the system really does provide the best materials.”

“Ding”

In less than half a minute, the rice was done.

“So quickly? What kind of science fiction technology is this?” Yuan Zhou was shocked. He went to open the cooker, surprisingly, there wasn’t any heat emitting from it, only the fragrance of cooked rice tickled his nose.

“It’s actually cooled.” Yuan Zhou had never seen freshly cooked rice that was cooled before. This technology was really astonishing.

Yuan Zhou wasn’t an idiot. He realized at once, “This technology provided helps me prepare the dishes, such as Egg Fried Rice, as soon as possible.”

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Zhou took out two eggs and started to beat them in the snow- white bowl. The egg yolk was a golden yellow, giving a stark contrast compared to the clear and bright egg white. There was also a slight aroma instead of the usual offensive smell.

Both the eggs and the rice were top graded materials. Neither of them could be said to be ordinary.

“Ping Ping Pang Pang”

At the instant, Yuan Zhou’s actions were natural and smooth, just like floating clouds and flowing water. It was as if he had been possessed by a Cooking God. There were no wasted movements at all and the actions were all textbook worthy. His mature face revealed the typical charm of an earnest man, hard at work.

How long does it take to cook Egg Fried Rice?

In less than 3 minutes, under Yuan Zhou’s whole-hearted endeavor, a plate of piping hot Egg Fried Rice had been made. Not a single grain was wasted and the rice was a bright gold, carefully piled up on the white plate.

What do you call a fantastic, superb, delicious dish?

THIS is what you call a fantastic, superb, delicious dish!

The size of this Egg Fried Rice was 8 times smaller than the ordinary one’s served outside. However, they were definitely not on the same level judging by its luster and fragrance.

The scent of the egg blended perfectly with the rice fragrance which had gotten stronger after frying. Furthermore, the egg was wrapped beautifully around each grain of rice, each one a luxurious gold. They were loosely piled up just like the golden wheat harvested in the autumn.

This was the highest level of Egg Fried Rice, the Golden Fried Rice. It didn’t look any different from the Golden Fried Rice in the movie of Cooking Master Boy, except that his Golden Fried Rice couldn’t glitter. Never had he expected that one day, he would be able to produce the exaggerated delicacy from that movie.

It was not only the smell that aroused one’s appetite, but also the appearance that made people want to dig in immediately. Yuan Zhou’s spoon was like a whirlwind as he immersed himself in eating. With only one bite, he couldn’t believe that such a taste came from his own cooking. He never imagined that a simple Egg Fried Rice could be so delicious. Not until then did Yuan Zhou understood the phrase “Food Fit for Kings”.
