Chapter 82: Ordinary Egg Fried Rice

“Is this smell of Egg Fried Rice?” the man who had just expressed that Egg Fried Rice was nothing special asked, with his expression full of surprise.

“Absolutely. This scent is so unique. If you smell it carefully, it’s merely the fragrance of the egg and rice but makes me feel like drooling,” a girl told her thoughts.

“That’s right. Everything we ate just now was in vain. I just feel super hungry now.” The fat man couldn’t help holding his belly.

“That’s not right. Hey, Skinny, you ate up quite a few rabbit heads just now,” another man beside the fat guy said.

“Aren’t you hungry?” The fat guy directly got to the point.

“Very. Shall we go to the kitchen and have a look?” the man beside the fatty guy suggested warmly.

“Let’s go and take a look,” Sun Ming immediately said.

All 11 of them came to the door of the kitchen and crowded there, watching Yuan Zhou cooking inside.

The culinary skills of Yuan Zhou had already reached a grandmaster’s level. Tossing the wok and wielding the spatula all seemed so natural and deft, as if he became one with his surroundings. Accompanied by the strong scent of Egg Fried Rice, the several people at the door immensely watched Yuan Zhou cook.

They had never found it so attractive to watch someone cooking. It seemed that the saying “an earnest person was handsome, no matter what he did” was true.

Again, Yuan Zhou tossed the wok with one hand. The muscles of his arm bulged allowing one to admire his graceful chiseled lines. With the other hand, he wielded the spatula and scooped the rice into the plates beside the stove. Only then did everyone realize that there were already 6 plates of Egg Fried Rice neatly placed there.

The fire was still on. While tossing the wok, he scooped the Egg Fried Rice out, placing exactly the same amount in each plate. Inside the white plate, the Egg Fried Rice piled up like a golden hill, without any loose grains scattered outside.

The edges of the plate were clean, so were the places close to the wok. After the Egg Fried Rice was scooped out, the plates and the wok gave out a mesmerizing fragrance.

“How is the dish? Is it ready?” the girl lowered her voice subconsciously, not intending to disturb Yuan Zhou.

“If it still isn’t ready, my drool will overflow.” The fat man nearby swallowed his saliva while touching his belly.

“Sun Ming, you go and ask. You are the leading role today.” The man who spoke the loudest at the beginning now pushed Sun Ming towards Yuan Zhou.

“Ok, let me ask.” While inhaling the appealing scent, Sun Ming restrained his saliva from drooling out and answered only gulping it down.

“Yuan Zhou, we come to help to carry the dishes,” watching Yuan Zhou finish filling the last empty plate, Sun Ming said.

“Ok, all of them are here.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and pointed at the plates that were placed neatly on the table.

The Egg Fried Rice in the plates was golden in color and still gave out slight heat. Coupled together with the fragrance, the people standing outside the kitchen didn’t hold back and went up to carry the plates one by one.

“Yuan Zhou, come out and celebrate.” Sun Ming nevertheless still had some conscience. While he was carrying his plate, he didn’t forget to call out to Yuan Zhou.

“One minute.” As per Yuan Zhou’s habit, he washed the wok and the chopping board. As for the other tools, it was not his home, thus it was better to not act so casually.

With his mind at ease, Yuan Zhou left the kitchenware messily placed according to his habits, then walked out of the kitchen, carrying a plate of Egg Fried Rice.

Not until Yuan Zhou sat down did Sun Ming say, “It’s my birthday today. My friend Yuan Zhou specially came to cook these dishes for me. Everybody, do give it a try.”

After Sun Ming finished talking, his friends couldn’t wait any more and immediately brought up their spoons. They didn’t even make any small talk.

Having already eaten the authentic Egg Fried Rice cooked by Yuan Zhou, Sun Ming had the best self-control among them. He turned the head and said to Yuan Zhou, “Thanks, buddy.”

“You are welcome.” Yuan Zhou nodded, indicating it was the time to have dinner.
