Bonnie looked up at the alarm clock hanging on the wall. She had to receive a distinguished guest this morning, Madam Maffia from the Marquis Family.
She was a regular customer of the jewelry store, and spent tens of millions on jewelry every year. She had known Madam Maffia for many years, and she was the one who received her every time. That had never changed after she became the store manager.
However, Madam Maffia had a severe case of mysophobia, and her requirements for all aspects were almost perverted.
After interacting with her for so many years, Bonnie was already used to dealing with all kinds of situations. However, the problem she had to worry about today was not others, but her own throat.
"Cough, cough." Bonnie coughed softly with her handkerchief, and nodded apologetically to the elf sitting opposite her. If she coughed in front of Madam Maffia, she might not come to this jewelry store again. Her job, which was already in a precarious situation, might become even worse.
"I should've gone to find that magic pharmacist yesterday. Even if it's just an emergency potion, I should've prepared a portion." She sighed in her heart. She could only go to the shop and drink more water to stop her coughing.
"Your congee with pork and century egg and sweet tofu pudding." Yabemiya walked over with a tray, and placed the congee with pork and century egg and sweet tofu pudding down.
The aroma of meat and a unique aroma wafted over along with the hot steam.
"Smells so good!"
Bonnie's eyes lit up, and her gaze was instantly attracted by the congee with pork and century egg in front of her. There were translucent century eggs and lean meat hidden in the thick white congee, and a small handful of tender chopped green onions was sprinkled on top. The aroma filled the air.
Bonnie's stomach was growling after lining up early in the morning. She was craving this congee when she saw the cleaners outside, so she also ordered a portion.
Bonnie didn't know if it was her imagination, but the aroma of the congee with pork and century egg seemed to be even stronger than the congee the cleaners ate earlier.
"Century egg? Mr Mak is always so interesting when he names his food. " Bonnie chuckled, and scooped up a spoonful of congee with the wooden spoon. There was a translucent brown century egg in it.
She suddenly had an idea. She raised the wooden spoon and looked out of the window. The crystal clear century egg was actually shining with a gem-like luster, and its surface was even covered with beautiful patterns that resembled pine flowers.
"Wow." Bonnie opened her mouth wide in disbelief. She had worked in the jewelry store for so many years, and this was comparable to the luster and transparency of many precious gems. The beautiful and gentle luster made it hard for her to imagine that this was just an egg?
"This should be called a gem egg. Mr Mak is a great artist." Bonnie gasped in admiration. She couldn't help but feel curious. A whole century egg should be very beautiful, right?
Although she couldn't bear to part with it, the fragrance and her rumbling stomach still made Bonnie eat the porridge with pork and century egg.
The porridge melted almost immediately in his mouth, with a hint of meaty aroma and a special egg aroma. Next was the preserved egg, the main character of the porridge.
The soft and delicious porridge did not make the century egg soft. It was neither hard nor soft. When it resisted the tongue, it had a strange elasticity.
Bonnie let the century egg play on the tip of her tongue for a while. After confirming that there was no way to melt it, she tried to bite it open with her tongue.
It was soft and elastic. After biting it open, a faint fragrance bloomed on the tip of her tongue. This was the source of the unique fragrance of the porridge with pork and century egg. The more she chewed, the more fragrant it became.
Bonnie chewed on the century egg happily as if she was a child who had discovered a great joy. She felt that her gloomy mood seemed to brighten up a lot.
After swallowing the crushed century egg, it turned into a refreshing coolness that slid down her throat into her stomach. It was as if she had swallowed a mouthful of refreshing cough medicine. Bonnie actually felt that the dryness in her throat had lessened a lot, and even her breathing had become much smoother.
"This … This is?" Bonnie touched her throat in disbelief. The refreshing feeling was gradually fading, but the dryness did not immediately rebound. Instead, it was as if she had been splashed with a scoop of ice water, and she had no strength to fight back at that moment.
"Could it be that this porridge with pork and century egg can relieve the dryness in my throat?" Bonnie was pleasantly surprised. She picked up the spoon and scooped another mouthful of porridge with pork and century egg into her mouth. After swallowing the chewed century egg along with the porridge, the refreshing feeling in her throat became even more obvious.
"It's really effective!" Bonnie ate the porridge with pork and century egg mouthful after mouthful of hot porridge. Her stomach gradually warmed up, but her throat was exceptionally refreshing and warm. The dryness in her throat was completely swept away.
"This feeling is really too comfortable." There was only one feeling in Bonnie's heart. Usually, she would be bothered by the dryness in her throat for a long time every morning. She had to drink a lot of warm water and take a lot of lozenges to barely relieve it.
But now, just a bowl of porridge with pork and century egg had achieved an effect that had never been achieved before.
Ding!
Bonnie looked at the empty bowl in front of her. She had unknowingly finished a bowl of delicious porridge with pork and century egg. The dryness in her throat had been completely suppressed. The refreshing and warm feeling even made her want to hum a tune.
"Delicious and unique porridge with pork and century egg. Looks like I don't have to worry about my throat today." Bonnie touched her throat gently with a smile on her face. She moved the empty bowl in front of her to the side, and took the bowl of sweet tofu pudding to eat.
Eating a bowl of tofu pudding every morning after waking up made her skin smoother and smoother. The whitening effect was also many times better than pearl powder. This had already become the biggest motivation for Bonnie to come to the restaurant half an hour earlier to line up. If she was late, she wouldn't be able to eat it.
"May I know if the porridge with pork and century egg can be packed? I would like to pack a small portion to take away. "Bonnie finished her tofu pudding, and raised her hand to gesture for Yabemiya to come over.
"The porridge with pork and century egg can be packed. It's a small portion. Please wait at the counter to collect it." Mia nodded and informed Anna, who then went forward to settle the bill for Bonnie.
"Thank you." Bonnie received the packed porridge with pork and century egg very quickly, and left Amy's with the porridge with a smile.
Although her throat was clear now, and she didn't feel like coughing at all, she didn't like to take risks. She would pack a portion of porridge with pork and century egg to take away, and eat a few mouthfuls before the appointed time to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Shia Jewelry was one of the top three jewelry stores in Chaos City. It was opened in the busiest part of Aden Square. There were many jewelry stores around, and Shia Jewelry Store was undoubtedly the most dazzling one.
Bonnie was the first to reach the store. She placed the porridge with pork and century egg back in her manager's office before arranging the work for the employees who came to the store one after another.
"I heard that Madam Maffia would come to the restaurant this morning. The store manager's throat seems to have gotten worse these few days. Will there be any problems?" a young employee said softly with a worried expression.
"Madam Maffia is a clean freak. If the store manager coughs in front of her, she will definitely not come to our Shia Jewelry again. Then, we will lose a big customer. I wonder if the boss will be heartbroken," an older employee said with a chuckle with a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.
