The golden eggs wrapped the rice perfectly, and the grains were distinct. The red beef cubes were embellished with an attractive oily glow, and the green onions were the finishing touch, adding color to the fried rice.
The rich aroma of the fried beef and eggs intertwined, harmonious and beautiful.
"Rumble …"
She wanted to reorganize her emotions and say something harsh, but her stomach failed her and growled.
Norma's expression collapsed. She had already picked up the spoon and quickly scooped a spoonful of fried rice into her mouth.
The soft rice was wrapped in an egg. With a bite, the aroma of the egg overflowed. A piece of beef was mixed in with the egg. It had a slightly chewy texture and brought about an incomparably delicious experience as the gravy splattered.
The satisfaction of being filled made Norma's eyes light up instantly.
Norma had eaten countless delicacies, and McCarthy Manor had the best chefs in the Underground City. However, the fried rice with beef and eggs in front of her gave her a pleasant surprise.
One bite after another, the plate of fried rice was emptied in the blink of an eye. Norma licked the corner of her mouth, feeling a little unsatisfied.
Then she used the spoon to drink a few mouthfuls of soup. The tomato and egg soup was sweet and refreshing, and it was perfect to go with the fried rice.
After a while, the soup bowl and plate were emptied, and Norma put down the spoon in her hand.
This lunch was very simple, and she had never eaten such a simple lunch before.
However, she was very satisfied with the meal, both physically and mentally.
Norma looked up at Meg, who was eating quietly. He did not show any expression of anticipation or praise, but instead seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
"The heat of the beef is a little lacking, and it needs to be adjusted," Meg muttered to himself. He was indeed a little dissatisfied.
Strangely, Norma felt that the man in front of her seemed to be glowing. He was different from the ordinary men. Although he was not a rich man, his attitude towards cooking was worthy of respect.
"I say, tonight you still have to …" Before Norma could finish her sentence, the doorbell rang.
Meg got up and opened the door. Nancy was standing at the door. Although her expression was cold, her eyes were filled with concern. "I heard from Bosang that Norma came to look for you. Did she make things difficult for you?"
"She's in my room." Meg shrugged.
"What?" Nancy stared blankly for a moment before revealing a shocked expression. "You … you guys …"
How long had it been? Meg had actually brought Norma back to the room.
"I'm just here to eat. Don't think too much about it!" Norma seemed to have heard the complicated emotions in Nancy's tone and immediately jumped to the door. Then, she looked at Nancy and said with some ridicule, "Sister Nancy, you really do care about him. You rushed over in such a hurry. Are you afraid that I'll eat him?"
"Eat?" Nancy glanced at Norma, who was still dressed neatly, and saw the plates on the dining table through the gap between the two of them. It seemed that they had indeed eaten together, and it was Meg who had cooked.
"That's all for today. I'll go back first. Don't forget our agreement." Norma winked at Meg, then squeezed past Nancy with a smile. She walked briskly, humming a little tune as she left.
Meg could see that this girl didn't have much malice towards him. She just wanted to suppress Nancy.
"Do you want to come in and sit for a while?" Meg looked at Nancy and asked.
Nancy thought for a moment, then nodded and followed Meg into the room.
Norma could enter, but she knew why Nancy couldn't.
This was also her first time entering the staff dormitory. In order to avoid suspicion, she always kept a certain distance with the staff of the opposite sex, including Boson.
Meg cleared the plates on the table, poured a glass of water for Nancy, and asked, "Have you eaten lunch?"
"Not yet."
"I'll make something simple for you?"
Nancy wanted to refuse. There would be a family dinner later, but when she looked at Norma's clean plate, she couldn't help but be curious about what they had eaten earlier. So, she nodded.
Meg made a new plate of beef and egg fried rice for Nancy. After summing up his experience, his control of the heat of stir-fried beef improved a bit.
Nancy sat on the sofa and watched Meg cook. This feeling was a bit special. In a small room, a man in casual clothes with an apron cooking for you, just like … a family in the movies.
In her world, this kind of scene had never appeared before.
She also never thought that in the future, there would be a man cooking lunch for her in their home.
At this moment, she felt that it was quite beautiful.
Then she couldn't help but laugh at her strange thoughts. But when she looked at Meg's serious side profile, she was a bit dazed.
"Beef and egg fried rice. There aren't many ingredients in the fridge, but the quality is not bad." Meg put the fried rice in front of Nancy and smiled.
"Thank you." Nancy nodded slightly and hid the strange look in her eyes. She picked up the spoon and elegantly finished the entire plate of beef fried rice.
It was no wonder that the picky Norma would dine in Mag's tiny room.
This plate of beef and egg fried rice was too delicious!
The control of the heat of the stir-fried beef was just right. The beef was chewy but not hard to chew. The tender taste required a very high control of the heat.
After eating the fried rice, Nancy got up and said goodbye. Before she left, she reminded Meg to be more cautious of Norma.
Meg smiled and said okay. After closing the door, he accepted Norma's friend request.
Looking at the girl's profile picture who sent him a string of emojis, the corners of Meg's mouth curled up. It was obvious that the fish had taken the bait.
Meg forwarded the screenshot of his chat with Norma to Xi and briefly reported that he had successfully hooked up with Norma.
…
"It's only been half a day and he's hooked up with Norma. Is this guy really that charming?" Xi looked at the picture sent by Meg and fell into deep thought.
However, this was indeed a good progress for the mission.
Norma was Gardner's daughter. Gardner was a core member of the McCarthy family and was in charge of external affairs. It was very likely that he was related to Senator Tam's disappearance.
If Meg intended to use Norma as a breakthrough, it was indeed a good choice.
"What do you plan to do next?" Xi replied.
"If your information is correct, Norma is indeed very doted on by Gardner. I'll try my best to get information about Senator Tam from her."
"Be careful." Xi replied and closed the chat interface.
…
Meg stood at the dormitory window and looked at the manor. From the angle of the window, he could only see a very small area, which did not include the living area and activity area of the McCarthy family members.
He actually already had all the information needed for this mission in his hands. He only needed a reasonable scenario to obtain this information and then he could leave.
There were three supernatural powerhouses guarding the McCarthy manor. He had no reason to risk his life for a newbie mission.
In the afternoon, Meg took a nap and then went downstairs to the public area below the dormitory to have a brief conversation with the head chef and take a look at the kitchen.
From tomorrow onwards, he would officially join the kitchen of this huge manor and take on part of the cooking work.
After coming out of the kitchen that was far larger than a five-star hotel, Meg received a message from Norma.
"I want to eat your cooking tonight. Come to my villa now."
"I'll cook noodles for you?" Meg replied.
"I don't want noodles. I want to eat lamb chops. Charcoal grilled lamb chops!" Norma sent a voice message.
It was her loss that this girl could not taste the knife-shaved noodles he made. Meg sent another message. "Employees are not allowed to enter the core area. I can't come."
"I've already sent someone to pick you up."
Just as Meg saw the message, a driverless car stopped beside him. The door opened automatically and an electronic voice came from the car. "Hades, identity confirmed. Please get in the car and head to Miss Norma's residence."
"It's not against the rules if someone finds out about this, right?" Meg was not in a hurry to get in the car. Instead, he sent a message to Norma.
"Cooking for your employer is your job. You'll be my full-time chef from now on. As I said, as long as you perform well, I'll give you a raise."
Meg got in the car and did not reply to Norma's message.
If the chef's dormitory was considered a luxurious residence for workers, then Norma's villa that occupied more than a thousand square meters should be called a pink castle.
Even with the advancement of technology, young girls still could not change their passion for pink.
Of course, this pink was quite high-end. The glass walls were a sparkling pink like pink diamonds. It was soft and dazzling, and the various colors complemented each other. It did not completely fill the entire castle with pink. It was full of young girls' hearts and was quite pleasing to the eye.
Needless to say, this must have been the work of a top designer.
Meg alighted from the driverless car and was led into the villa by a sweet-looking maid. Meg looked at the maid's pink cat ears. She was obviously a young Orc lady.
"I asked you to come, but you don't seem to be very happy?" A large chair was placed on the raised ground in the hall. Norma crossed her legs and looked down at Meg.
Meg sat on the high seat like a queen. Norma wanted to laugh. Normal people would not be able to do such a thing without at least ten years of chuunibyou.
"What kind of reward is cooking for you?" Mag asked in return.
"Of course. Many chefs want to cook for me, but they don't have such an opportunity. It's your honor." Norma lifted her chin slightly.
"Unfortunately, there are many people who want to eat my cooking. Moreover, it's not working hours now," Meg said calmly.
Norma narrowed her eyes. Meg was not lying. With his popularity these few days, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the most popular man in the underground city.
"You're already here. Are you going to leave without doing anything?" Norma came down from the high platform and walked in front of Meg.
The high platform slowly descended behind her until it was level with the ground. The large chair expanded to become a sofa.
So this problem would not act up in front of everyone. Ha, fake woman.
"I charge. It's very expensive." Meg looked at Norma and said in a low voice.
The maid at the side opened her mouth slightly and looked at Meg in shock. Although she was a huge fan of this handsome guy, she was still worried about his safety when he dared to speak to Miss Norma like this.
"Expensive? Ha, the thing I don't lack the most is money. "Norma raised her hand and a transfer interface lit up on her bracelet." How much? "
"One meal, one million," Meg said.
Norma tapped her finger twice and one million was transferred.
Meg's bracelet lit up and one million was transferred to his account.
A real rich woman was so overbearing.
"Where's the kitchen?" Meg asked directly as he received the money to do things.
"I … I'll take you there …" The cat-eared maid said softly. The shock on her face had not faded.
The man in front of her actually got one million from Miss Norma. He was so daring.
Meg followed the maid into the kitchen in the basement.
Compared to Meg's shabby workbench, the kitchen in Norma's villa was luxurious. It took up more than a hundred square meters and had all kinds of kitchenware and cutlery. There were also two large freezers in the corner filled with all kinds of ingredients.
There was a charcoal grill on the workbench. The charcoal fire had already been lit. There was a large piece of lamb chop on the side dish table. It was obviously freshly processed. The lamb blood had not solidified and was very fresh.
Since Norma wanted to eat charcoal grilled lamb chop, Meg made it for her.
As the saying went, to conquer a woman, one had to start from conquering her stomach. Those who could reach her stomach in one step would not be able to escape.
The maid stood at the side and looked at Meg with admiration. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, thank you," Meg rejected coldly. He washed his hands, put on an apron, and began to process the ingredients.
Norma walked around outside twice and could not help but come in. She called herself a supervisor and even asked the maid to bring her a comfortable chair.
"So this is what it feels like to be a judge of the Chef King Competition," Norma said as she nestled comfortably on the sofa and watched Meg put the lamb chop on the grill.
Meg raised his eyebrows. Good girl, was she playing a live game here?
Meg could be considered to be a master at charcoal grilled lamb chop. It was slowly grilled over the charcoal fire and brushed with the sauce. The aroma gradually thickened.
The master and maid watched from the side and had already swallowed their saliva countless times.
"Water," Norma turned her head and ordered, but her eyes could not move away from the golden lamb chop on the grill.
The aroma was too strong and too tempting. It had an irresistible penetrating power.
Moreover, watching the lamb chop slowly turn golden with the charcoal fire, listening to the sizzling sound of oil, and smelling the aroma, the gluttonous baby in her stomach was aroused.
The little maid quickly went to pour a cup of water. She was looking at Mag with even more admiration in her eyes.
Once the heat was in place, Meg took the lamb chop out of the oven and placed it on the plate. Along the gap between the lamb chop, he cut the lamb chop into smaller pieces, which were more suitable for a girl to eat gracefully.
Finally, he sprinkled a handful of tender green onions to decorate, and the charcoal grilled lamb chop was completed.
A whole lamb chop filled a big plate.
"It's done. Please enjoy," Meg looked at Norma and said.
Norma had already stood up from the chair and walked to the counter. Looking at the golden lamb chop that was emitting a strong aroma, she could not help but gulp.
"I'll bring it to the dining table," the maid came forward and said softly.
"Let me try it first and see if it's really that good." Norma could not wait to reach out and grab a piece of lamb chop.
"Hiss! It's hot! "Norma immediately retracted her hand and pinched the maid's cat ears to lower her temperature.
The maid looked innocent, but did not dare to say anything.
After lowering the temperature of her fingers, Norma put on a thin glove that insulated heat and grabbed another lamb chop. She brought it to her mouth and blew on it before carefully opening her mouth to take a bite of the lamb chop.
The crispy skin wrapped around the tender and juicy lamb. With just a light bite, the rich juices and oil exploded in her mouth. The slight spicy meat taste collided with the tip of her tongue, and her taste buds instantly went out of control.
"Ah …"
A long and uncontrollable moan made Norma's face blush instantly.
But …
This lamb chop was too delicious!
Grilled meat was no stranger to Norma. There were two chefs in the manor who were very good at grilling meat. Every time they had a meal together, the two of them would roast all kinds of meat products.
But she had never eaten such a delicious and special lamb chop.
When she saw Nancy lose her composure on the show, she had mocked her for being inexperienced. She did not expect that when she tasted this lamb chop in person today, it did not look very promising.
The unique aroma of the grilled fruit permeated the lamb, and the unique sauce was irresistible.
If she were a judge of the Chef King Competition, she would not be able to resist giving full marks, right?
"This is too delicious!"
Norma could not help but praise. Then, she glanced at Meg. No wonder Nancy thought so highly of him and even sent a fighter jet to protect his safety.
The maid could not help but swallow her saliva. Previously, when she watched the live broadcast with Miss, she had secretly swallowed her saliva countless times. Today, when she saw Meg grilling the lamb chop with her own eyes and smelled the aroma, how could she resist this temptation?
"Here, you have a piece too." Norma took a lamb chop from the plate, shook it slightly to cool it, and handed it to the maid.
"Thank you, Miss." The little maid was flattered and took the lamb chop. She took two steps back and blew on it. Then, she took a small bite. Her eyes immediately narrowed into crescent moons. She held it and ate it in small bites, just like a little squirrel.
Meg watched this scene. Norma treated her subordinates well and did not treat them badly at all.
Norma finished two lamb chop and was somewhat full. Only then did she feel a little uncomfortable eating standing in the kitchen. She ordered, "Let's eat in the dining room."
The maid quickly wiped her hands clean and carefully carried the lamb chop out of the kitchen with both hands. She went straight to the dining room on the first floor.
Meg took off his apron and went upstairs to prepare to go back. He had finished his work, and Norma looked very satisfied.
The three of them had just reached the first floor when a maid quickly walked over and said respectfully, "Miss, Master is here."
Just as she finished speaking, the villa's door opened and a thin middle-aged man walked in.
Meg looked at the person and raised his eyebrows slightly. He quickly regained his composure, but was not in a hurry to leave. He took half a step back and stood beside the maid.
"Father!" Norma exclaimed with some surprise. She jumped forward and held the middle-aged man's arm. "When did you come back? Didn't you say that you would only be back next week? "
"Something happened in Tucker City, so I came back early." The middle-aged man with a cold temperament smiled when he looked at Norma. His eyes were full of affection. "I went to see the chief, so I came to see my baby daughter first."
As he said that, his gaze swept past the little maid, and landed on Mag. His long and narrow eyes narrowed instantly, and there was a dangerous glint in them.
"You came at the right time. I just grilled lamb chop. Let's eat together." Norma pulled Gardner to the dining table.
Gardner sat down and looked at the grilled lamb chop on the table. He looked at Meg again and asked, "Are you Hades?"
"Yes." Meg nodded slightly.
The person in front of him was the target of his trip — Gardner. He did not expect to meet him on the first day of entering McCarthy Manor.
"Father, you know him too?" Norma held a lamb chop in her hand and asked in surprise.
"How many people in the Underground City don't know him now?" Gardner smiled. The Dixon Family had suffered a great loss this time. Fergus had been killed and they had lost a half-step Transcendent Realm master for no apparent reason. This young man in front of him could be said to be the fuse of this entire incident.
It seemed that Nancy brought him back to McCarthy Manor not only to admire his cooking skills, but also to protect him.
Meg lowered his head and did not say anything. He let the system take a few photos.
Gardner did not have much interest in Meg. The fact that he could enter McCarthy Manor meant that the family had conducted an in-depth investigation on him. There should be no problem with his background.
The incident with Fergus could only be considered a coincidence. A mere chef was not enough to pique his interest.
"Then try this lamb chop. It's delicious." Norma took a lamb chop and handed it to Gardner.
Gardner took the lamb chop. It was still a little hot. It should have been roasted not long ago. The meat was quite fragrant. He opened his mouth and took a bite. His eyes immediately lit up.
As one of the few people at the top of the Underground City's power hierarchy, his desire for food had long become dull. However, the taste of this roasted lamb chop stunned him.
The tender and tender lamb chop did not become dry after being roasted by the charcoal fire. The slightly charred skin was crispy and fragrant. As he chewed, the juices flew in his mouth. It was very satisfying.
In just two or three bites, half of the lamb chop was gone.
"Bring the wine." Gardner ordered the maid beside him.
"Yes." The maid quickly left and soon came back with a small cart. She opened the bottle, poured the wine, sobered it up, and divided the wine in one go. A glass of red wine was placed in front of Gardner.
Gardner took a sip of the wine and then picked up a lamb chop. He chewed it carefully, his face showing some joy.
He had not felt satisfied with food for a long time. This roasted lamb chop was indeed unique.
"Your culinary skills are not bad." Gardner put down the lamb chop in his hand and looked at Meg as he spoke.
Your daughter is not bad either. Meg was neither servile nor overbearing as he said, "Thank you."
All of the female servants looked at Mag with surprise and envy in their eyes. Lord Mag had never praised any of his servants before, but he was very appreciative of Hades.
"You can go back first. I'll get the car to send you back to the dormitory," Norma said to Meg and gave the maid a look.
"Okay." Meg nodded slightly.
"Please follow me." The maid led Meg out of the door. The driverless car was still parked at the door. The door was already open.
Meg got into the car.
The maid blushed and said, "Mr. Hades, I'm your fan. Your roasted lamb chop is really delicious. I like it very much."
Meg's face showed a gentle smile. He nodded slightly and said, "Thank you. Please go back."
The door closed slowly. The driverless car started slowly and drove away from the villa area.
"His smile is so gentle. Oh no, it's the feeling of falling in love!" The maid covered her chest. Her face was red all the way to her ears.
