“Is this truly egg fried rice? I… I’ve never tasted such delicious rice before!” Chloe said as snazzynovel.com shoveled the food into snazzynovel.com mouth, quickly finishing snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com spoke, snazzynovel.com too took a bite, only to find that snazzynovel.com was unable to stop once snazzynovel.com 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!” snazzynovel.com exclaimed as snazzynovel.com 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, snazzynovel.com bent over snazzynovel.com own plate, upon which was some rice snazzynovel.com mother had spooned for her.
After taking a bite, snazzynovel.com immediately fell in love too.
“Is… Is this actually egg fried rice?” snazzynovel.com exclaimed as snazzynovel.com cleaned snazzynovel.com plate. “How did they make it so delicious?”
However, when snazzynovel.com went to get a second helping, snazzynovel.com realized that the serving platter was empty and that snazzynovel.com younger brother, Tate, was scraping the last bit of rice into his own plate.
Furiously, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com had known earlier how delicious the fried rice was, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com 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, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com was going to change his mind for them.
“Alright, alright. Just send the rest of the food in!” Minerva instructed, waving snazzynovel.com hand impatiently despite the regret.
If snazzynovel.com had moved sooner, snazzynovel.com would have been able to have more than a mouthful of rice. Currently, the taste of it was still lingering on snazzynovel.com tongue and it compounded snazzynovel.com regret.
Nevertheless, snazzynovel.com had learned snazzynovel.com lesson and would not put down the spoon in snazzynovel.com hand. She decided snazzynovel.com would move first when the next dish arrived.
After all, the early bird got the worm.
