Chapter 82 (2/2)
“Wow, this is great!” the girl wearing glasses suddenly blurted out.
The Egg Fried Rice looked soft and loose, but when it went inside the mouth, it still maintained some of its toughness. Every rice grain was fully wrapped in the egg, hence there were no extra egg pieces, only leaving the fried rice in the plate.
The egg wrapping around the rice grains was especially soft and tender while the rice grains inside still had a slightly tough texture when eaten. As the two tastes blended together, a strong and delicious flavor was instantly brought out.
Since Yuan Zhou had tried his utmost to improve the taste of the ingredients, what the several people were eating now was basically the pinnacle of the taste that the rice and eggs could reach. Therefore, everyone that was eating the dish revealed a satisfied and contented expression on their faces.
“Sun Ming, this friend of yours really is a master chef. I have to admit that,” the man who didn’t believe in Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills at the very beginning now made a thumb-up gesture and said.
“However, the ingredients are still inferior. You should have used the olive oil, as there is still an offensive smell,” that man continued.
“I am to blame for that. I don’t know how to buy the necessary items and merely chose them based on their appearance. The same dish cooked by this friend in his restaurant is far better than the current one, at least by several grades,” Sun Ming answered him immediately.
“Oh. Where is your friend’s restaurant located? I will surely go there someday to have a taste,” that man asked Yuan Zhou while looking at him sincerely.
“In Taoxi Road,” Yuan Zhou swallowed the rice in his mouth before saying.
“Ah, it’s not far. I will go there another day,” with a delighted expression on his face, the man said while smiling.
“Boss, look, I’m so fat. I can’t eat my fill with so little rice. Could you cook a little more for me?” the fat guy said while patting his belly habitually.
“That’s right. Even a girl like me couldn’t eat my fill. Just cook some more for us,” the girl wearing glasses also smiled and said.
“Exactly. I decide to forsake my diet today. Please provide me with another serving,” a tall and slim girl said while blinking her big eyes.
At the table, everyone started requesting another serving. Just as Yuan Zhou was about to tell them his rules, he suddenly recalled that it was in his friend’s home rather than his restaurant. Therefore, he couldn’t help frowning, not knowing how to refuse them.
“Alright, my friends. My brother still has to prepare longevity noodles for me in a short while. His restaurant is in Taoxi Road and you guys can go there whenever you are free.” Immediately, Sun Ming added, with a big smile on his face.
“This advertisement is pretty good. I give it a score of 11 point. The extra one point is my love to you, my grandson (the surname of Sun Ming also means grandson).” A tall and slim man professed his admiration for Sun Ming.
“Such a nice name is spoiled by you brats.” Sun Ming had run out of his energy to explain his nickname, all he could do was grumble.
“Wait, grandson, do you mean the longevity noodles are only for you?” the girl wearing glasses reacted quickly and asked instantly.
“That’s right. It’s my birthday, so of course the longevity noodles are for me to eat.” Sun Ming showed a complacent manner.
“No, no, no. You don’t understand, Sun Ming. The established practice of the longevity noodles is that only if everyone helps you with eating it can you live a long life in the future,” the girl wearing glasses tried to persuade him with an earnest look. The expression on her face almost made Sun Ming believe her words.
“Hoho, I don’t believe that at all.” Sun Ming was quite frank and straightforward.
“Why don’t we cook a big wok of noodles? That way, each of us can taste a little,” someone proposed.
“I’m sorry, I only made one serving of noodles.” Yuan Zhou said. Instantly, the guests on the dining table looked at him in a rage.
However, Yuan Zhou threw the responsibility to Sun Ming immediately. He pointed to Sun Ming and then said lightly yet persuasively, “Every debt has its debtor.”
The several friends of Sun Ming took a deep breath before the girl wearing glasses opened her mouth, saying,
“Sun Ming, it is your birthday today. We can let go of you. But you’d better remember it well next time.”
All the other friends at the dining table revealed an “eating all by oneself would result in serious consequences” expression.
