After Rood swallowed, the taste lingered in his mouth, and he felt a warm current rushing wildly through his body. He suddenly felt young again.
A moan escaped his lips. The food makes me feel so good! It’s so different!
“It’s good, isn’t it?” Robert asked as he picked up a piece of chicken. He insisted the food here was terrible, but now he’s enjoying it. It’s really hilarious.
Rood nodded. “Yes.” He took another large bite of it.
“Let me try this braised chicken.” Robert put the chicken in his mouth and bit into it. The meat is so tender, and the soup is so tasty! He had a pretty high standard for food like a food critic, but he found himself unable to criticize this dish.
“This is fire chicken, but it tastes better than normal,” said Robert. “The meat has such a tender and soft texture. He cooked it just right. Also, the soup is just scrumptious!”
“The secret lies in the shiitakes. It’s worth 100 gold coins each, and there are four in each braised chicken,” said Jimmy, who was sitting at the same table.
“Shiitakes?” Robert picked up a piece of shiitake. “This kind of mushroom is worth 100 gold coins each?” He didn’t know what shiitake looked like, but he recognized it by its smell. He put it into his mouth and bit into it. The delicious soup came out immediately.
“No mushrooms could compete with this! This is the mushroom of mushrooms!” exclaimed Robert. I have never heard of this kind of mushroom before, so it must be extremely rare. It’s probably really worth 100 gold coins each.
Robert added some soup into the rice like Amy had done, and spooned some rice into his mouth. He chewed slowly. The soup goes perfectly with the rice! He took another bite.
This is worth more than 800, Robert thought. His body felt warm. To think I suspected the prices.
Rood put down the bag, his face red from the rushing blood. “It’s unbelievable!”
Robert was too engrossed in eating to reply.
Rood took a bite of tofu pudding. It was so sweet that he was immediately lost in it.
“Excuse me, can I have another bowl of rice?” Robert asked Yabemiya, his braised chicken half eaten.
Yabemiya nodded. “Sure.”
Robert and Rood entirely forgot why they’d come here in the first place
That roused a sense of triumph in Mag.
Then Mag noticed the girl with a black veil sitting in the corner. She comes here every day, and she always sits in that corner, eating her tofu pudding and Yangzhou fried rice. Who is she?
Her clothes are brighter and more colorful; I guess she’s not as gloomy as before.
Gloria felt someone was staring at her. She raised her head, and met Mag’s eyes.
Her heart started pounding. He is looking at me? she wondered, nervous. No, why would anyone look at me?
Mag returned to cooking. He wasn’t falling for her; he was just curious.
Gloria felt relieved, and also a little disappointed. She started eating her tofu pudding again.
“You’re so beautiful, Big Sister,” Amy said to Xixi with Ugly Duckling in her arms. “Are you an elf or a Flower Fairy?”
