Chapter 10: Charm of God Tier Egg Fried Rice

Therefore, he didn’t try to explain but just gave Sun Ming a sign to eat before it got cold.

No sooner had Sun Ming sat down, did the scent of Egg Fried Rice rushed directly into his nose. He could immediately tell the difference, the scent didn’t have the usual greasy and oily smell, instead it had some kind of delicate fragrance. The most magical thing was that he couldn’t see any of the eggs inside the Egg Fried Rice. After taking a closer look at the dish, he found the egg, completely wrapped around the rice grains. That was the cause which altered the rice from its original color to a golden yellow.

Sun Ming was astonished by that. He had met Yuan Zhou during Yuan Zhou’s days of working in the kitchen at a 3-Star Hotel. Sun Ming was also fond of eating, nevertheless, his parents hadn’t allow him to be a chef. He had to continue his studies until he graduated, only then did he choose to go in the kitchen of the hotel without a second thought. However, his culinary skills were not that good. In the end, he ended up being a glutton. After that, he opened a clothing store, which nevertheless prospered.

“This is……” Scooping up a spoon of the fried rice, the discontent in Sun Ming’s eyes lessened.

Yuan Zhou could master the Egg Fried Rice to the extent that the beaten egg completely wrapped around the rice grains. Sun Ming believed his friend did possess some talent in cooking. Thus his interest was aroused.

He took a spoonful. The soft and tender egg wrapped around grains of rice that was neither too soft nor too hard. The delicate fragrance of the rice and the scent of the egg were thoroughly merged together. These difference scents had perfectly blended, giving an unprecedented taste.

Gosh, how could there be such delicious Egg Fried Rice?

With the fried rice in his mouth, Sun Ming felt like the female judge in the movie, Cooking God starring Stephen Chow, who was immersed in the bliss from the dish, Barbecued Pork Rice with Poached Egg. Sun Ming was also immersed with his Egg Fried Rice.

The previous thought of being cheated had completely disappeared. He had only the delicious Egg Fried Rice in his mind, his eyes and his mouth.

Eat, continue to eat.

Sun Ming felt the price of 188 RMB was fair now.

No.

He even had a feeling that he was the one gaining even with such a price. For the first time in his life, he discovered that a simple Egg Fried Rice could be so tasty.

“Ba Ji, Ba Ji”

One bite after another, Sun Ming just couldn’t stop eating. He didn’t forget to give a thumb up to Yuan Zhou who was standing right in front to show his admiration. The reason was, needless to say, that his mouth was full of the Egg Fried Rice and he didn’t want to waste time talking. Thus, he could only do this to express his heartfelt feelings.

Yuan Zhou nodded his head calmly, with an indifferent expression, as if it was all within his expectations.

When the plate had been licked so clean it appeared to be washed, Sun Ming finally opened his mouth to speak.

“Is this Egg Fried Rice?”

“Yes, as you have seen, this is the ordinary Egg Fried Rice, just a little more tasty than other restaurants.” Yuan Zhou replied with an indifferent manner as if it was an ordinary occurrence.

“These skills can be compared to those 5-Star levels already, though I have never tasted any 5-Star level food. Have you inherited the teachings of a head chef in some 5-Star Hotel?” Sun Ming made a guess while he looked at Yuan Zhou curiously.

“No, that can’t be it. That old man is good at the delicate Jiangsu cuisine. Even if he cooked Egg Fried Rice, it would be Yangzhou Fried Rice. Yet, the one you served only consists of eggs and rice, right?”

Sun Ming suddenly became Sherlock Holmes Sun and started making various guesses. Yuan Zhou just stood quietly beside him watching him, acting with the calm manner of a talented man.

And yes, he could also act himself by the way.

After several unsuccessful guesses, Sun Ming stopped to look at the clean plate and said, “Anyway, I don’t care. I just want one more serving, this portion is too small. It barely fills the gaps between my teeth.”

“I’m sorry. Each guest can only order one serving for each meal.” Yuan Zhou shrugged his shoulders and said regretfully.

“You fellow, what is our relationship? Go and cook one more. Hurry up!” Sun Ming was in a hurry. He had completely forgotten his previous decision to break off their friendship.
