The rice was quickly steamed.
Summer scooped out five servings and let them cool. The ingredients were ready,
A beautiful day begins with golden egg fried rice,
The process of making egg fried rice is simply to fry the eggs first, then stir them, and add the ingredients.
However, the simplest method is also the most difficult. The rice grains must be separated and coated with egg. A good egg fried rice should be golden in color, with distinct grains and a fragrant aroma. It should have all three qualities: color, aroma, and taste.
In Summer's opinion, the blending step is crucial. The eggs and rice are thoroughly blended so that each grain of rice is evenly coated in the egg mixture.
This way, when stir-frying, it can both maintain the distinctness of the rice grains and allow the aroma of the eggs to penetrate every grain of rice, resulting in an alluring golden color and a rich aroma.
Before the egg fried rice was even finished, the kitchen door was already filled with a gaggle of young girls, all hungry.
"Brother, can we eat breakfast now?" Little Bei Chang Tan, holding her own small bowl, looked on eagerly.
"Almost done, did you call your sister Dong Xiang to wake up?" Summer asked without looking up.
Little Bei Chang Tan nodded obediently, "She's awake. I even got her a spare toothbrush and brushed her teeth."
"Go back and get ready, Xiao You and Xiao Qian, come help me carry the dishes." Summer directly carried a pot of egg fried rice out of the kitchen and divided it into everyone's bowls. "If it's not enough, come back and get more later."
"It's enough, it's enough." Xiao You nodded.
"Brother, I'm full too." Little Bei Chang Tan grinned, looking at her overflowing bowl. The golden egg fried rice kept sending out an alluring aroma. She could eat this for a whole day and not be hungry.
"If you're hungry, you can eat first, I'll make some soup." Summer said as he went back into the kitchen.
When he returned to the dining table, everyone was sitting there, forks in hand, looking at him expectantly.
At the dinner table,
Five people sat neatly in a row,
Dong Xiang was stunned,
She looked at the food on the table with a complex expression. Egg fried rice, chicken soup, stir-fried vegetables, and a pan-fried sea bream.
It was a simple meal for ordinary people, but she had no such memories.
As a ghoul, a warm family meal seemed utterly impossible.
"Don't just look at it, everyone eat."
"I'm going to eat."
Little Bei Chang Tan and the others didn't hesitate and started eating the egg fried rice.
"Xia Jun, I..." Dong Xiang looked at the breakfast, a little at a loss.
"Eat, I specially prepared it for you with top-quality ingredients." Summer scooped a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Dong Xiang. "Eat whatever you want, don't be restrained, we're all family."
"Uh." Dong Xiang blushed, her eyes also red.
"Dong Xiang sister, hurry up and eat, brother's food is so delicious." Little Bei Chang Tan chimed in between bites. "You need energy to work."
"I know..." Dong Xiang muttered as she picked up her rice bowl.
She gently scooped up a small spoonful, nervously took a few bites. Afraid of her body rejecting it, she wanted to swallow it quickly.
But the moment the rice entered her mouth, her big eyes lit up!
What is this feeling? It's not stinky tofu, it's not coffee.
This bite, she felt like she was in heaven, all her cells were trembling, even more intense than when she ate stinky tofu. And even worse, the taste of the egg fried rice, it was unbelievably delicious.
She closed her eyes, allowing the rich flavor to spread in her mouth. The rice grains were smooth, chewy, and bouncy, the egg was smooth, rich, and tender.
The taste of rice and eggs, simple and pure, yet a taste she once thought was unattainable.
She used to think that she was satisfied with eating that special stinky tofu, but now she "greedily" wanted more.
Her chopsticks danced wildly, a bite of egg fried rice, a bite of vegetables, a bite of sea bream. Dong Xiang seemed to be a starving person who hadn't eaten for a dozen years, grabbing whatever she could see, even a clove of garlic wasn't spared.
"Slow down, no one's fighting with you... Xiao You, you eat slower too." Summer looked at the two girls helplessly, they really hadn't had a decent meal in their lives.
With a sigh, Summer turned and asked, "Xiao Qian, is your tracked vehicle still there? Can it drive normally?"
"It's there, Boss, do you need the car?" Xiao Qian answered without raising her head. She was also one of the people who hadn't had a decent meal in her life.
"Yeah, after you finish eating, go back and bring it over. We may need to climb mountains to get to the stall location today." Summer also silently sped up his eating, afraid that he couldn't compete with these three gluttons.
"Okay."
"Dong Xiang, we're going out for a long trip this afternoon, you can take care of the dogs at home for a few days, right?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Dong Xiang was too busy stuffing a chicken leg into her mouth to pay attention to what anyone was saying. She chewed it with a satisfying crunch, swallowed the whole thing, not even bothering to spit out the bone.
Then she shoveled another mouthful of rice.
"The feeling of being alive, this is the true taste of life! This is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life, sniff..." Dong Xiang couldn't help but shed tears. "Before this, I only ate stinky tofu as hot food... sniff~ If I could have three meals of white rice a day, I could work 20 hours a day without complaining!"
"???" Xiao You was stunned, she slowed down her eating, she finally found this job, why was she so competitive.
Summer smiled, it's better to eat first and chat later.
"I'm full!" The bowl of rice was quickly emptied. The newly promoted housewife rubbed her stomach, drank a bowl of chicken soup, leaned back in her chair, and showed a satisfied expression.
"Wait, what did you say? Where are you going? I want to go too." Realizing what was going on, she suddenly shouted, she just had a good meal, she couldn't miss out on a long-term meal ticket.
"Your strength isn't enough, it's dangerous to follow. " Summer put down his chopsticks and then clasped his hands together. "Here, first eat this Devil Fruit."
Seeing the familiar cloud-patterned fruit, Xiao Qian, Xiao You, and the other three stopped their movements in unison, stepping back in unison and running away with their bowls and chopsticks.
"We'll go wash the dishes."
