Xiaochen waited expectantly for Yuan Zhou's Soaked Rice. Indeed, she didn't have to wait long. Another characteristic of Soaked Rice was its speed.
"Sister Xiaochen, here's your Soaked Rice. Please enjoy." Zhou Jia carried a tray with the dishes on it.
"Thank you." Xiaochen thanked her and helped Zhou Jia carry the dishes.
"You're welcome." Zhou Jia shook her head with a smile.
Soaked Rice was really just Soaked Rice. What was served was a bowl of plain white rice similar to porridge. There was also a cup of plain water and two candies. That was all.
"Let's eat now." Xiaochen didn't eat the appetizer candy first like before. Instead, she took the Soaked Rice and started eating.
Soaked Rice wasn't just plain white rice with water. Rather, the plain white rice had to be boiled before eating.
As for the plain white rice, it was just like what Xiaochen had said. It had to be cooked with overnight rice in order to achieve that kind of taste.
The soup in Xiaochen's Soaked Rice was milky white. The rice grains were plump and translucent, giving off white steam.
"It looks really good." Xiaochen sighed. She picked up the spoon and started eating.
This time, the spoon was an ordinary porcelain spoon. In the middle of the spoon, there was a little blue-purple lotus flower. It looked exquisite and beautiful.
When the Soaked Rice was scooped into the spoon, it gave off a faint blue glow. However, Xiaochen didn't look at it. She stuffed the rice into her mouth and started eating.
Soaked Rice wasn't porridge. The rice grains didn't need to be cooked to the point of blossoming. Naturally, boiled water was boiled water, and rice was rice. The taste was actually just the taste of boiling water and rice. In other words, it was white and tasteless.
However, Yuan Zhou's Soaked Rice was completely rice fragrance. There was even a slight sweetness in the mouth.
It was obviously the sweetness of the rice grains after they were chewed.
"Huhu." Xiaochen blew on the rice to cool it down slightly before continuing eating.
Yuan Zhou's Soaked Rice only had Soaked Rice. There were no other dishes. Usually, when eating at home, it would be accompanied by some cold dishes. However, Xiaochen didn't. She just ate faster as she ate.
A bowl of Soaked Rice wasn't much, so it didn't take long for Xiaochen to finish it. Then, she finished everything on the table and walked out of the restaurant.
"Dadada …" Xiaochen took a few steps towards the place where they were renting a house. Suddenly, she clutched her stomach and muttered, "I don't feel full."
He often ate as if he hadn't eaten anything else. This was a big taboo to maintain his figure. On the other hand, Xiaochen was different. Not only was she hungry, but she also had a great appetite after eating the Soaked Rice.
Recently, there had been too many things to do at work. When he got home, he was like a corpse. During the holidays, he wanted to hug the quilt until the end of time. The last time he had such an appetite was when he completed an order and received a bonus from the boss.
The second time was with a friend that he hadn't seen for a long time. As for the last time … he couldn't remember. Anyway, it was last Chinese New Year. He had a good appetite eating a table full of dishes cooked by his mother.
Her mother even said that the reason she couldn't find a boyfriend was because she ate as much as a pig, but she wasn't as useful as a pig.
Mm … My biological mother.
As she walked, Xiaochen started to miss her biological mother who always despised her. Unconsciously, Xiaochen took out her phone and started to make a call.
The word "Mom" was clearly written on the screen. The phone rang a few times before it was picked up.
"Why are you calling so late? Did you just get off work?" A middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Xiaochen's mother.
"No, I just finished dinner. Have you eaten yet, Mom?" Xiaochen asked.
"You must have eaten out again. I told you that the food outside is expensive and dirty. Don't eat too much. Why don't you cook some more? You're a girl, but you're so lazy all day long. Look at yourself. If you were a guy, would you find a girlfriend like this? "Xiaochen's mother immediately said a bunch of things when she heard that Xiaochen had eaten.
"…" The sorrowful feelings in her heart instantly vanished. Xiaochen felt that she had to find her biological father's trash can.
"No, I got off work late. I don't feel like cooking," Xiaochen replied simply. She was so tired.
"It's rare for a girl to be so lazy. It's already so late, why aren't you going home? I can hear the sound of your car. What are you doing outside in Chengdu so late at night? Hurry up and go home," Xiaochen's mother continued to nag.
This time, before Xiaochen could reply, Xiaochen's mother seemed to have thought of something and continued, "Why are you calling so late? What's the matter?"
Xiaochen's mother asked casually as if there was nothing important and was about to hang up.
Xiaochen was silent for a long time. Finally, she said from the bottom of her heart, "Nothing. I just want to eat the Soaked Rice you made. I haven't had it in a long time."
"That's easy. When you come back, I'll make you Soaked Rice and stir-fried meat with pickled vegetables. It'll go well with the rice," Xiaochen's mother agreed.
"Alright, I'll eat it when I get back during the Dragon Boat Festival," Xiaochen nodded and said.
"Then remember that you have to come back during the Dragon Boat Festival. Don't forget, girls shouldn't go out at night. It's not safe, and you're alone in Chengdu. Do you hear me?" Xiaochen's mother continued to nag.
"Got it. That's all. I'm getting on the bus. I'm hanging up." Xiaochen prepared to hang up.
"Alright, alright. When you get back, I'll make you Soaked Rice and stir-fried meat with pickled vegetables. I'm going to catch up on my dramas. Muah, muah," Xiaochen's mother's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Xiaochen replied and hung up. She was speechless. What the hell? Muah, muah.
"I haven't eaten it in a long time. It should be Boss Yuan's rice. Boss Yuan's rice is too delicious. But I don't know why, but I'm looking forward to mom's rice," Xiaochen muttered and got on the bus.
Actually, she didn't know why all the words she wanted to say turned into a single sentence, "I want to eat Soaked Rice."
After dinner time, Yuan Zhou wasn't busy in the kitchen. Instead, he sat alone at the door and stared blankly. Broth wandered around the side street and would run to sit in front of Yuan Zhou from time to time.
"Tuan Tuan, don't run so fast. Slow down, slow down," a long-haired girl ran over with a big dog.
At this time, Broth was sitting beside the proud Yuan Zhou. The big dog stopped in front of Broth and looked at it curiously.
"Why is Boss Yuan outside today?" When the girl's dog stopped, she stopped as well. When she saw that it was Yuan Zhou, she hesitated for a while before greeting him naturally.
"Um, I'm just taking a seat," Yuan Zhou sat upright and still as he answered.
"Woof, woof woof." Just when the girl was about to say something, the big dog she was holding suddenly barked at Broth.
Broth's face was cold. It didn't even look at the big dog in front of it. It sat upright and was very quiet.
"Broth, you're here too. Broth, this is Tuan Tuan, an Alaskan. Do you want to be friends?" The big dog in the girl's hand kept nudging in front of Broth. The girl had no choice but to smile at Yuan Zhou apologetically. Then, she squatted down and said to Broth.
Another ignorant bystander wanted to be friends with Broth. Yuan Zhou was waiting for Broth's response with a look of understanding …
