“Is this truly egg fried rice? I… I’ve never tasted such delicious rice before!” Chloe said as virtual-novel.net shoveled the food into virtual-novel.net mouth, quickly finishing virtual-novel.net portion of it.
Frowning with dissatisfaction, Jonah asked, “Do you need to be so dramatic? It’s just egg fried rice, so what’s the big deal?”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net too took a bite, only to find that virtual-novel.net was unable to stop once virtual-novel.net started.
Seeing how ravenously his father was eating, Tate immediately did the same thing and was at once enamored.
“It’s so good! I’ve never tasted anything so good in my life!” virtual-novel.net exclaimed as virtual-novel.net stuffed more rice into his mouth.
Soon, everyone at the table was busy eating.
Meanwhile, Minerva gaped at them. ‘Is the egg fried rice really that good?’
Skeptically, virtual-novel.net bent over virtual-novel.net own plate, upon which was some rice virtual-novel.net mother had spooned for her.
After taking a bite, virtual-novel.net immediately fell in love too.
“Is… Is this actually egg fried rice?” virtual-novel.net exclaimed as virtual-novel.net cleaned virtual-novel.net plate. “How did they make it so delicious?”
However, when virtual-novel.net went to get a second helping, virtual-novel.net realized that the serving platter was empty and that virtual-novel.net younger brother, Tate, was scraping the last bit of rice into his own plate.
Furiously, virtual-novel.net cried out, “Wait, how did you all finish it so quickly? I had one bite and now there’s no more left for me!”
Smirking, Demi replied, “Well, we asked you to have some but you said you didn’t want to. Since it’s best not to waste food, we helped you finish your portion.”
The response incensed Minerva. If virtual-novel.net had known earlier how delicious the fried rice was, virtual-novel.net would have eaten it.
Happily, Helen sighed. “Clearly, this chef knows what he’s doing. It makes sense that they would sell it for twenty thousand at a place like this.”
For once, Chloe and Jonah had no comeback, as the fried rice was simply too delicious.
Licking his lips, Tate complained, “The only problem is that the serving is too small. Can we get one more platter, waiter?”
With wide, hopeful eyes, Minerva chirped, “One isn’t enough. Two more, no, five more!”
Looking uncomfortable, the waiter apologized, “I’m terribly sorry everyone, but the chef only makes ten servings of Golden Rice each day and this was the tenth platter.”
However, Minerva retorted, “What kind of rule is that? Just have virtual-novel.net make it! It’s not like he’s not being paid. I don’t believe he’d refuse us if he’s paid.”
Shaking his head, the waiter refuted, “He would, miss, as the ingredients for this dish need to be pickled and prepared a day beforehand. As virtual-novel.net has used up the ingredients for today, you will need to come back tomorrow if you wish to have some more of his Golden Rice!”
Just like that, Minerva was left at a loss. It looked like virtual-novel.net was not going to get another serving of the rice. ‘Have I inadvertently missed out on a delicacy?’
Chloe then asked with a frown, “I’m curious, could you not have virtual-novel.net prepare more ingredients beforehand? How could ten platters a day possibly be enough for something so delicious?”
“These are the chef’s rules and no one can change his mind,” the waiter replied. “Once, virtual-novel.net received a visit from Jeff Bezos. Mr. Bezos asked for another portion but the chef did not concede.”
Instantly, the group fell silent.
Jeff Bezos was a renowned billionaire on the whole planet Earth and if the chef wouldn’t budge for someone so important, there was no way virtual-novel.net was going to change his mind for them.
“Alright, alright. Just send the rest of the food in!” Minerva instructed, waving virtual-novel.net hand impatiently despite the regret.
If virtual-novel.net had moved sooner, virtual-novel.net would have been able to have more than a mouthful of rice. Currently, the taste of it was still lingering on virtual-novel.net tongue and it compounded virtual-novel.net regret.
Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net had learned virtual-novel.net lesson and would not put down the spoon in virtual-novel.net hand. She decided virtual-novel.net would move first when the next dish arrived.
After all, the early bird got the worm.
