The two of them were stupefied for a moment. Then, the blond man immediately said excitedly, "See? I told you. You didn't believe me."
"Cough cough." The short-haired girl couldn't help coughing and felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Yuan Zhou didn't say anything after that. He just stood there as if waiting for the two people's answer.
"I want a Rice Mixed with Egg." The blond man ordered first.
"Ok. 138 RMB for a serving of Rice Mixed with Egg plus 20 RMB for the seat fee. That's 158 RMB in total. Cash or bank transfer?" Zhou Jia suddenly came to his side. She took over the conversation and said fluently.
"Bank transfer." The blond man took out his phone and started to transfer the money.
"Ok. Got it. One moment, please." After Zhou Jia confirmed, she nodded her head with a smile.
"I've ordered. How about a serving of Rice Mixed with Pigeon Egg?" After the blond man ordered, he immediately touched the short-haired girl's arm and said.
"Ok. I want a serving of Rice Mixed with Pigeon Egg," the short-haired girl said angrily.
"Ok. 158 RMB for a serving of Rice Mixed with Pigeon Egg plus 20 RMB for the seat fee. That's 178 RMB in total. Cash or bank transfer?" Yuan Zhou asked neatly.
"Me, too." The short-haired girl also transferred the money to him.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating that he got it. "One moment, please."
"By the way, Boss Yuan, do you really have all kinds of Rice Mixed with Egg?" The short-haired girl rolled her bright eyes and asked slyly.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded his head earnestly. Then, before the short-haired girl could say anything, he continued, "Even the Rice Mixed with Snake Egg."
When Yuan Zhou said that, he appeared to be quite serious and earnest.
As Yuan Zhou was originally a man of few words, the customers in the restaurant would listen carefully subconsciously every time he spoke.
As a matter of fact, the girl instantly felt uncomfortable when she heard the words "snake egg".
"Are you kidding me? There's actually a snake egg? "The girl felt her back go numb and was a little scared.
"Are snake eggs the kind that can hatch? It's so scary. "The female customer almost instantly felt a cold feeling as if an animal was crawling over her.
Girls were usually more afraid of this kind of cold, soft, cold-blooded animal that crawled on the ground.
Therefore, almost all the female customers in the restaurant revealed an expression of a toothache. However, there was an exception, and that person was Jiang Changxi.
"I want a serving of snake egg mixed with rice." Jiang Changxi supported her chin with one hand and fiddled with her hair with the other.
"I don't know if this snake egg can be hatched. Snakes are good stuff, especially the ones with the right size and thickness. Right, Boss Yuan?" Before Yuan Zhou could answer, Jiang Changxi looked at Yuan Zhou with a smile.
Yuan Zhou was instantly alerted and didn't say anything. Fortunately, the short-haired girl from earlier spoke up, "Do you really have snake eggs on rice?"
The short-haired girl felt uncomfortable, especially when she thought of the snake egg's elongated shape. She felt her back go numb.
"Of course not. I'm just kidding." Yuan Zhou answered affirmatively.
"Huh?" The short-haired girl and the female customers who were scared just now all revealed a surprised expression.
Even the male customers who were discussing and eager to have a try just now were dumbfounded.
"Are … are you kidding?" The short-haired girl looked at Yuan Zhou blankly.
"Of course. There is no research to prove that snake eggs are inedible, but the ones that support eating it are still required to be cooked. The eggs used for mixed rice are all raw eggs," Yuan Zhou explained seriously.
"Raw snake eggs contain a high amount of parasites. The raw eggs used in our restaurant have all been professionally disinfected. Therefore, if you want to eat raw eggs on rice at home, you must buy normal eggs that can be eaten raw," Yuan Zhou took the opportunity to remind them and then continued to explain.
"Actually, the chemical composition of snake eggs is similar to that of various bird eggs, but the fat content is higher than that of other eggs. The protein content of snake eggs is about 80%, and the fat content is about 18%. It also contains minerals and vitamins. From the perspective of a scientific diet, the nutrition absorbed from snake eggs is far greater than that of other bird eggs. Moreover, it is easier for the human body to absorb. However, I personally don't recommend eating it, "Yuan Zhou explained.
"Because the snake eggs are poisonous?" The short-haired girl seemed to have a hole in her brain as she answered casually.
"No." Yuan Zhou shook his head decisively and then said, "The snake's venom is produced by the venom glands, and the venom glands can only be secreted after the cells have differentiated and formed tissues and organs. In essence, the snake egg is a fertilized egg. Naturally, it's not poisonous."
"Then why can't it be eaten?" the short-haired girl asked subconsciously.
"It's not that you can't eat it." Yuan Zhou corrected her and then answered, "It's because many people can't accept it, so I don't recommend eating it."
"But in fact, the nutrition content of snake eggs is very high," Yuan Zhou added after a pause.
"Boss Yuan, I just want to have a good meal." The short-haired girl looked at Yuan Zhou with a helpless expression.
"Oh, okay. One moment, please." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then turned around and went back to the kitchen.
Only then did the short-haired girl let out a sigh of relief. She didn't want someone to explain the nutrition content of snake eggs to her. Besides, she didn't want to know anything about snake eggs at all. It was too scary.
"Why do I have the feeling of eating snake eggs after hearing Boss Yuan's words?" another customer said with puzzlement.
"I think so too. After hearing Boss Yuan's explanation, I also want to eat it," someone nodded his head and chimed in.
"I just checked. Snake eggs can really be eaten. There's a dish called Snake Assorted Soup in Guangdong, which contains snakeskin, snake eggs, and snake liver. It's said to taste good," a man wearing glasses took out his phone and said in the restaurant.
"That's right. It's said that the snake eggs taste good. The more you chew them, the more fragrant they become." The customers put away their phones and then started to discuss.
The male customers felt that Yuan Zhou's explanation was acceptable, but the female customers were a little depressed about the fact that Yuan Zhou had said that Snake Egg Mixed Rice was a joke.
"What kind of joke is that? Snake Egg Mixed Rice!" That was the thought of almost all the female customers. Of course, Jiang Changxi wasn't one of them.
"Cough cough. Boss Yuan, does that mean my Snake Egg Mixed Rice is gone?" Jiang Changxi reminded Yuan Zhou who was carrying the rice out. Yuan Zhou hadn't answered her question just now.
"Um, no. There are no snake eggs that can be hatched, either." Yuan Zhou said that in one go.
"Oh, what a pity." Jiang Changxi shrugged and then said with a regretful expression.
Yuan Zhou turned around and ignored Jiang Changxi, fearing that she would say something strange again.
"Speaking of which, why is the price set by you either 6 or 8?" Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of this matter and asked curiously.
The system displayed, "Because six means good luck, and eight means good luck."
Yuan Zhou kept silent for a while and then said with an affirmative tone, "System, you are definitely not an interstellar product. I'm afraid it's a domestic product. How do you even know Fortune and Fortune?"
However, the system directly fell silent and ignored Yuan Zhou's guess.
