Chapter 16 (2/2)

“It’s indeed just Egg Fried Rice. It really has only eggs and rice.” Even Yi Yuan made some complaints about that.

However, the three people who had been here, Monkey, Ali and Sun Ming, started to eat directly, regardless of other people’s complaints.

After having checked carefully if the spoon was clean, Zhou Yan, being the first, put a spoonful into his mouth. His serious face quickly changed the instant the Egg Fried Rice entered his mouth. While lowering his head, he looked at the Egg Fried Rice, then the spoon in his hands, afterward he continued by putting another spoon into his mouth quickly again.

“Hummm!”

The importance of a delicacy stems from its ability to make people feel thoroughly relaxed and engrossed, just like bringing you on a miraculous taste trip. Zhou Yan was currently indulged in that pleasure and almost forgot all about his home and duty.

The expressions of his other friends all turned delighted and satisfied, as if they had finally obtained what they have been seeking all this while.

Of the four basic necessities of life, clothing, food, housing and transportation, food ranked the second. From that, its importance could be seen. The several friends gulped down their Egg Fried Rice, just like thirsty desert travelers encountering a timely rain shower.

“baji, baji”

Beautiful moments were always fleeting, let alone delicious foods. Before they had fully savored the pleasure, their plates had reached the bottoms.

None left.

Having no experience eating here, the group host finished up first. Then they started to recall the aftertaste of the delicious Egg Fried Rice, while seated in their chairs.

Since the restaurant started several days ago, Yuan Zhou found he had gotten into a habit, that is, watching the guests being conquered by the Egg Fried Rice that he had cooked and revealing a happy expression.

That made him proud while bringing about a sense of achievement. Seeing him acting all aloof merely gave misconception to others.

When Qian Jianshe noticed the plate had been even cleaner than his face, he showed a surprised manner like “It was eaten up? Why do I feel like I haven’t started?” Once he came back to himself, he said to Yuan Zhou, “Boss, it’s really the very first time in my life that I ate such a delicious Egg Fried Rice. I could feel my soul ascending to the heavens. Boss, you are indeed the top chef.” Qian Jianshe was never stingy with his compliments.

“Frankly speaking, after this experience, I feel that I will lose weight due to hunger if I couldn’t manage to eat this Egg Fried Rice.” While talking, he also patted his fat belly to make it look more convincing.

When the last hint of aftertaste of the Egg Fried Rice vanished in his mouth, Qian Jianshe said to Yuan Zhou while his small eyes were filled with sincerity.

“Boss, could you please provide three more servings? After finishing that, please get two servings packed so that I can take away.”

“I’m really sorry. Here in this shop, we provide each guest with only one serving per meal. And we don’t have the take away’s currently since this restaurant is small and earns little.” While saying that, Yuan Zhou showed a standard smile on his face.

After hearing Yuan Zhou, Qian Jianshe was dumbfounded. Having stared at Yuan Zhou for quite a while, he said, “Boss, isn’t the Egg Fried Rice 188 RMB per serving? Don’t worry. I will definitely pay for that. If you don’t have a container, any bowl also works. I can pay a deposit or even buy the plate, for sure.”

While saying that, Qian Jianshe nodded his head in the affirmative to express his resolution to do that.

“This Egg Fried Rice is really delicious. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious Egg Fried Rice.” As a teacher, Zhou Yan should have had more gorgeous words to compliment the dish. However, facing the scrumptious Egg Fried Rice, he could do nothing but repeat the few words.

“Boss, serve me two more, please. And one extra serving to go is ok.” The always serious teacher Zhou Yan stroked his sleeve cuff uncomfortably while saying. It was also the first time for him to eat 3 servings of Egg Fried Rice.

“That’s true. Boss Yuan, the good taste of your Egg Fried Rice is beyond the scope of scientific comprehension. If we each can only have one serving, your excellent culinary skills couldn’t be displayed.”

“So, please pack 10 servings for me, and another three to eat here. I can wait patiently.” Zhang Daming grinned in a shameful manner.
