Chapter 299: Authentic Streaky Pork

Having appreciated the beautiful and elegant menu, Xiao Wu and Ma Jia started to check what dishes were provided.

When they saw the price, Ma Jia just raised her eyebrows in surprise, but didn’t say anything. Nevertheless, Xiao Wu shouted loudly, “Boss, are you receiving Thai baht?”

“Sorry, we receive only RMB.” Shen Min emphasized smilingly.

“They are so expensive.” Xiao Wu felt slightly awkward. She was merely an assistant and her monthly salary was less than 4000 RMB. How could she afford such expensive dishes?

“Xiao Wu, I will treat today,” Ma Jia said with a smile.

“Thank you, but that’s not good,” Xiao Wu refused solemnly.

“Never mind. I want to treat to thank you for accompanying me out today.” Ma Jia glanced at her with her big eyes, which appeared rather affecting and charming.

“No.” Xiao Wu refused again.

“Do what I say.” Ma Jia became serious right away.

Her whole person looked more majestic immediately. Then Xiao Wu no longer refused her.

“I want a serving of Egg Fried Rice,” Xiao Wu ordered only one dish smartly.

“I want this one, this one and this one. That’s all.” Ma Jia ordered a serving of Jinling Prawns for herself and some other dishes of beef and vegetables liked by Xiao Wu.

She didn’t order any main dish as it may result in a bad figure in the drama clothes if she ate too much. As an actress, she had to maintain her nice figure.

This time, the dishes ordered by Ma Jia were carried up to them by Yuan Zhou personally.

“Here are the dishes for you two. Take your time.” Yuan Zhou revealed a smile rarely.

“Ok, thanks.” Ma Jia thanked him with a nod, but didn’t take off the face mask.

“Humm.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head and then returned to the kitchen and started to prepare the dishes ordered by another customer.

Not until Yuan Zhou turned around did Ma Jia take off the face mask and begin to eat.

Yuan Zhou saw the scene clearly, but he didn’t really mind at all.

…

The weather never reasoned with humans. Especially after the air pollution got more serious, it became more capricious.

It rained whenever it wanted to. Lucky that the system was more precise than the weather report and had already predicted it would rain today.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou rarely took a break in the evening

“Pa Pa Pa Pa”, the continuous and incessant raindrops emitted faint sound on the ground.

“I have the liquor, but still lack some delicacies.” Looking at the inky sky, Yuan Zhou stroked his forehead and thought earnestly.

“Pi Li Pa La”, Yuan Zhou groped around in the kitchen and suddenly found a grill.

“Isn’t it a BBQ grill? Why is it here?” Yuan Zhou took the small grill and became fairly curious.

This time, however, the system answered him without being asked.

The system displayed, “It’s a cooking utensil provided by the system.”

“Tsk tsk. It seems my dinner is solved.” Yuan Zhou suddenly had an inspiration and worked out what to eat.

Due to the rain, Yuan Zhou didn’t have lunch in the afternoon and specially waited until the night, preparing to eat something good.

The readymade flavorings and top-notch food ingredients tempted him.

He took out a piece of marbled pork from the fridge. The pork was used to make stuffing for the soup dumplings and still had the pork skin on it.

And another piece of fresh beef that was used for the dish of Translucent Beef Slices.

He took them under the tap and washed them clean with the water. After that, he removed the anadesma with the miracle kitchen knife. That way, it wouldn’t have any offensive smell when it was grilled.

The marbled pork was cut into pieces about half a fingernail thick and then stacked into the plate.

Likewise, after the anadesma was removed, the beef was cut into thin slices about half a palm large.

Another ingredient was the well-prepared tofu. Yuan Zhou specially prepared the tender tofu in the afternoon and packed it in a bamboo box.
