Chapter 197: Hui Guo Rou (1/2)
With a smile on his face, Xinya watched as Wei completely left the living room before turning his chair around and heading to the kitchen. Still feeling slightly guilty about not informing Wei of the time displacement syndrome, he decided that he would make her something extra special for dinner.
Going over to the refrigerator, he opened it to check what ingredients they had, only to find that there wasn't much of anything at all. After checking the cabinets and the freezer, Xinya knew that they would need to restock up on food soon.
It was silly, but knowing that he could buy any type of food that he wanted, put a smile on his face. In his previous life, he wasn't able to buy a large number of groceries at a time, for one he didn't have the money to do so, and secondly he wouldn't have anywhere to place them in that hovel where he lived before.
He would usually just go out every day to the corner store to buy something cheap to eat while he waited for his VR headset to cool. To him, knowing that he didn't have to live like that anymore felt a bit surreal.
However, the memories of his old life were still fresh in his mind, even if he didn't want them to be. He could remember struggling every day in his previous life when he had to go out and buy something to eat.
The memory of having to bring his wheelchair up and down the stairs of his dilapidated apartment, because the elevator broke down. He could only be thankful that his wheelchair no matter how cheap it was, was made from lightweight material.
Although the fact was, it was him having to go out and buy food that led to his death. Even though he was grateful for the rebirth, he was still wary of something like that happening again.
He knew he didn't need to worry about going out and buying food himself, he was financially stable enough to sign up for the online delivery system. There was a special food delivery site that he knew of, that only players of VRMMOs could use.
It was a little costly, but Xinya knew that it was one of the best sites of it's kind out there. Besides having top-grade ingredients, the site also gives out recipes and also has top chefs all over the world giving video demonstrations.
That wasn't all, from what he had heard, the deliveries were made by a robot that is personally assigned to the customer. And the robot can be synced up with the customer's log out schedule.
Although, there wasn't any hurry for him to sign up to the site, from what he could see after looking around the kitchen there was still enough food to last them a couple more days. He would just write a note to himself, to remind himself the next time he logged out of the game to sign up to the site before doing anything.
Looking at the ingredients that were available to him he was quite certain that he would still be able to make something special for dinner. However, he needed to check and make sure.
Opening one of the side compartments that was attached to his wheelchair, he reached in and took out his cell phone. After unlocking it, Xinya opened up the web browser and typed in Hui Guo Rou. When he was reminiscing about his life before his rebirth this dish had popped into his head.
It was something that his mother had really enjoyed eating, which made him try really hard to learn how to make it, so that he could feel closer to her. However, he could only make it inside of the game in his previous life, since he couldn't afford to make it in reality.
