Chapter 63 (2/2)

The rice was neither too hard nor too soft; it contained both tenderness of the egg and springiness of the rice. Furthermore, there wasn’t any greasy feeling at all; instead, it even had a refreshing flavor, bringing the taste buds on an amazing experience. Vice Division Chief Lee still couldn’t help drooling while eating the Egg Fried Rice.

The two people were totally conquered by the scrumptious dishes and were now convinced of Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills.

While Yuan Zhou was busy with preparing the Clear Broth Noodle Soup in the kitchen, he asked the system in the heart, “System, where are the Herbal Tea Eggs?”

The system read, “Herbal Tea Egg has already been released.”

When he saw the reply, Yuan Zhou continued preparing the Clear Broth Noodle Soup without worry.

Since Yuan Zhou had already prepared the raw noodles earlier, there were still a lot left. It took him only three and a half minutes to prepare the dish, from putting the noodles into the boiling water, to scooping the noodles into the bowl.

“Here’s your Clear Broth Noodle Soup. The Herbal Tea Egg will be served soon,” Yuan Zhou said as he carried the Clear Broth Noodle Soup to the grandpa.

After pulling open the cabinet, he took out a small white-based plate with ink paintings of tea plants along the edge, preparing to place the Herbal Tea Egg in it.

Next to the electric cooker was an inconspicuous black square container, looking like a porcelain ware. Yuan Zhou speculated that inside the container was the Herbal Tea Eggs provided by the system.

He opened the container by holding the ears of the lid and then lifted it up slightly.

This time, the shielding unit of the system did not seem to function well. Once the lid was removed, the fragrance of the egg in a brown eggshell and tea surged out together.

“Wow! What smell is that? What a strong fragrance of tea!” The grandpa stretched his neck and tried to look inside the kitchen, wondering what Yuan Zhou was doing inside.

“This smell is the fragrance of tea, isn’t it?” Somebody asked tentatively.

“Huh! Is this Herbal Tea Eggs or somebody making tea? So fragrant!” Somebody said, enjoying the smell.

Of course, the most nervous person here was the grandpa, who was now leaning forward and trying to see what Yuan Zhou was doing.

However, the annoying electric cooker fully covered Yuan Zhou’s hands, blocking the grandpa’s sight.

The grandpa didn’t wait for too long before Yuan Zhou carried the small plate towards him.

“Here is your Herbal Tea Egg.” Yuan Zhou said after setting the plate down on the table.

The first reaction of the grandpa was disappointment. Afterward, he began to slowly hold up the plate, looking thoroughly at the egg from various directions. Then, he smelled it carefully and smacked his lips from time to time as if he were identifying something in a distance.

He appeared serious and earnest the whole time, even giving off a hint of worship.

“Boss Yuan, what kind of tea did you use to cook the damn egg?” The grandpa couldn’t help swearing.

Yuan Zhou understood the principles of the system very well, which was to use the best quality ingredients. Therefore, he nodded his head, saying, “Yes, it is as you imagined.”

“You… you… you…” Even the grandpa’s hand pointing at Yuan Zhou started to tremble; an unutterable outrage emerged on his face.

Suddenly, he struck the table heavily with a loud sound of “Peng” and then stood up, “You squandering little brat. This is a reckless waste of precious resources. You come here now! I will definitely beat you up today to vent my anger.”

While speaking, he leaned forward and reached his hand, trying to get hold of Yuan Zhou’s collar. Meanwhile, he shouted in indignation, “How could you use that precious thing to cook Herbal Tea Eggs?”

Although the grandpa was physically strong, he was, nevertheless, aged and thus did not have sufficient reflexes to seize Yuan Zhou.

When the grandpa realized he couldn’t catch Yuan Zhou, he got even more furious. With another heavy strike on the table sounding “Peng”, he continued to shout angrily, “You brat, if you don’t know how to make the best use of it, why don’t you just give it to me? Is this the kind of thing that you can play with?”

The intense reaction of the grandpa instantly awoke the people who were blissfully enjoying their meals. They raised their head one after another, watching the exciting scene.

It was known to all that although customers bitterly hated the deceitful boss, they still tolerated him due to his culinary skills. It was the very first time they saw a customer fighting with Boss Yuan because of a meal.

“What’s happening?” The surrounding customers hurriedly began to question those that understood the situation.
