“Is this truly egg fried rice? I… I’ve never tasted such delicious rice before!” Chloe said as she shoveled the food into her mouth, quickly finishing her 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 he spoke, he too took a bite, only to find that he was unable to stop once he started.
Seeing how ravenously his father was eating, Tate immediately did the same thing and was at once enamored.
Soon, everyone at the table was busy eating.
Meanwhile, Minerva gaped at them. Is the egg fried rice really that good?
Skeptically, she bent over her own plate, upon which was some rice her mother had spooned for her.
After taking a bite, she immediately fell in love too.
“Is… Is this actually egg fried rice?” she exclaimed as she cleaned her plate. “How did they make it so delicious?”
However, when she went to get a second helping, she realized that the serving platter was empty and that her younger brother, Tate, was scraping the last bit of rice into his own plate.
Furiously, she 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 she had known earlier how delicious the fried rice was, she 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.
