"I ordered this especially for you guys. You guys probably didn't have a proper meal today, so I ordered something else for myself too." Christopher pushed the fried rice back to Lucy, and looked at her with pity. This little girl was too sensible. Judging from how skinny she was, she definitely hadn't eaten her fill for a long time.
"Thank you," Lucy said gratefully. Lucy looked at Christopher, and thanked him gratefully. She scooped up a spoonful of fried rice, and fed it to Darren as she said, "Darren, open your mouth. This fried rice is as colorful as a rainbow."
"Rainbow?!" Darren's eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth expectantly.
As the slightly hot fried rice entered his mouth, the wonderful taste was enveloped by the heat and blossomed in his mouth. As he chewed it carefully, the texture of the rice and the various ingredients was so delicate. All kinds of flavors melted in his mouth, just like a colorful flower blooming in his mouth, making him pleasantly surprised and immersed in it.
"These are eggs and … and …" Darren could only discern the aroma of the eggs. Even the rice had an unfamiliar yet exceptionally sweet taste to it.
The wonderful taste lingered in his mouth for a long time, and after swallowing, he felt warm and comfortable all over.
"Is it good?" Lucy asked expectantly as she looked at Darren, whose eyes were narrowed in bliss.
"Mm-hm. It's really delicious!" Darren nodded, and grabbed Lucy's hand. "Big Sister, try it too. It's really delicious."
"It's alright. I'll eat later. I'll feed you first." Lucy scooped another spoonful of fried rice for Darren with a smile.
She hadn't seen such a smile on Darren's face for a long time ever since her grandfather passed away. It seemed like he really liked this fried rice.
Children at this age should be studying in Chaos School. They shouldn't have to suffer like this, Christopher thought to himself as he looked at the pair of siblings opposite him.
Lucy finished feeding Darren a plate of Yangzhou fried rice. After he expressed that he was full, she picked up her spoon and started eating.
When the warm fried rice entered her mouth, a mist rose in front of her eyes.
What a wonderful taste. It was just like her mother's cooking back then. The wild mushrooms in the mountains were fried with wild boar oil, and there was even some diced bacon occasionally.
However, after so many years, his mother's appearance had gradually become blurry.
That day, she and her father went hunting in the forest as usual, but they never came back.
Back then, she was only five years old, and Darren had just learned how to walk.
When she was young, her grandfather always said that they would come back with big game in the future. However, when her grandfather passed away and she gradually grew up, she already knew that they might never come back.
In this world, she only had Darren as her younger brother.
After silently finishing a plate of Yangzhou fried rice, Lucy's eyes were a little wet. She tilted her head and looked at Darren. If his eyes couldn't be cured, she would take care of him for the rest of his life.
"Your roasted pig's eyes, sliced beef and ox tongue in chili sauce, and rum." Mia walked over with a tray and placed two plates and a glass of rum down gently.
"Is this roasted pig's eyes?" Lucy's gaze was quickly attracted by the small mountain of meat skewers on the plate. The pig's eyes that were skewered together and roasted to a brown color were surprisingly not too scary. The surface of the skewers glowed with oil, and they emitted a tempting barbecued meat aroma.
"Roasted pig's eyes." Darren shrunk his neck. Although this thing might be able to cure his eyes, he was still a little afraid subconsciously. Those wild boars whose eyeballs were pierced by his grandfather had already started to appear in his mind. The scene was a little scary.
"Yes, this is roasted pig's eyes. Although it sounds a little scary, this is a very delicious dish. Furthermore, my eyes became better after eating this." Christopher nodded with a smile. "However, this roasted pig's eyes has just been roasted, so it's very hot inside. You have to wait for a while before eating."
"Mm-hmm." Lucy nodded and looked at the roasted pig's eyes expectantly. Although they couldn't guarantee that Darren would recover after eating the roasted pig's eyes, at least this was the first time someone had given them a clear solution since they came to Chaos City.
Christopher took a sip of rum, and looked at the roasted pig's eyes expectantly as well.
Everyone knew that he was the old accountant of Abbott's Jewelry Shop, but very few people knew that he actually owned 10% of the jewelry shop's shares. He wasn't short of money for a very long time, but some things couldn't be measured by money.
For example, the 15-year-old rum brewed by Master Old Sim, or the simple effort of helping a blind child see the light again. Such happiness could not be compared with the 1 million pieces of jewelry sold in the jewelry shop in a day.
About three minutes later, Christopher picked up a skewer of roasted pig's eyes, and bit into one first. He tested it carefully with his teeth and tongue, and only bit into it after making sure that it was a temperature that his mouth could withstand.
The warm liquid exploded in his mouth, and a wonderful feeling blossomed. His anticipation and anxiety were released at this moment, and it was a delightful feeling.
Christopher swallowed the roasted pig's eye in his mouth, and smiled at Lucy. "Come, let your brother have a taste of the game that he can't taste anywhere else. But you must be careful when you eat. Close your mouth when you bite the eyeball, and don't let the precious liquid spill out."
"Mm-hmm." Lucy picked up a skewer of roasted pig's eyes, and passed it to Darren as she said, "Darren, open your mouth. Bite the first roasted pig's eye like how you eat candied haws in the morning."
"Mm-hmm." Darren answered, and opened his mouth obediently. He waited for Lucy to feed the pig's eye into his mouth before closing his mouth, and removing the pig's eye from the skewer.
When the roasted pig's eye entered his mouth, what surprised Darren wasn't the slippery and sticky texture. Instead, it tasted like roasted meat. The skin was slightly charred, but when he touched it with his teeth, it felt like a bulging fish bubble. It was very elastic.
"Yes, hold it in your mouth, and then try to bite it open gently with your teeth. Remember, don't use too much force. Otherwise, you won't be able to control your mouth, and you won't be able to keep all the liquid in your mouth," Christopher reminded.
Upon hearing that, Darren tried to bite the pig's eye with his teeth. However, the skin of the pig's eye was tough and elastic. It was like a mischievous little fellow scurrying around in his mouth. He was a little afraid that the eyeball would explode in his mouth, but he was also a little excited to see what it would feel like after it exploded. Would it really allow his eyes to see again?
Amidst his anxiety and anticipation, the mischievous pig's eye was finally caught by his teeth, and was bitten open.
"Pfff …"
The sound of the eyeball exploding rang out clearly in his mind.
It made his soul tremble.
However, before he could think about it carefully, the slightly hot liquid had already splattered around in his mouth. If not for Christopher's repeated reminders, he definitely wouldn't have been able to close his mouth in time.
The slightly sticky and delicious soup grabbed all his attention. It was a little like bone soup, but it was countless times thicker and tastier than the bone soup he had tasted before. It stimulated his taste buds and brought him an incomparable pleasure. He felt as if his mind had been emptied out.
His anxiety and anticipation received the most perfect feedback at this moment!
After swallowing the liquid, he started to chew on the remaining things. Within the tough skin of the eyeball, there was something that was as crispy as bone. The more he chewed, the more fragrant the skin became. It also made him feel happy.
Furthermore, what made Darren even more surprised was that a refreshing coolness gathered towards his eyes. His eyes that were shrouded in darkness actually showed signs of breaking through.
"Big Sister Anna, do you think that big brother's eyes will become better?" Amy sat behind the counter with Ugly Duckling in her arms as she looked in Darren's direction.
"I think so. Uncle Meg is super awesome." Anna nodded with certainty.
"Haha, I think so too."
