Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 464 - 462: A Chance Encounter

"So this is the egg fried rice set meal?" Su Yanwei was shocked by the portion after bringing back two sets from the bar.

The so-called set was just a plate of egg fried rice with a small dish of cold sea snail meat, the kind that disappears in two bites!

"Tsk tsk tsk, this price is even more outrageous than a five-star hotel, and the business bureau doesn’t care?" Su Yanwei muttered softly.

Chen Yan, sitting across from him, smiled warmly: "Once you’ve tasted it, you won’t say that. By the way, do you know what kind of rice, egg, and sea snail this is?"

"Even if it’s overhyped, isn’t it just rice, egg, and sea snail meat?" Su Yanwei shrugged, "It’s not likely they’re all special green supplies, right?"

Chen Yan didn’t bother to explain further; those who have tasted it understand.

She scooped a full spoonful of egg fried rice into her mouth contentedly, her eyes slightly squinting with satisfaction. If only this restaurant weren’t so expensive, she’d want to eat it every day.

Actually, looking at the egg fried rice before him, Su Yanwei’s appetite was also whetted. Each grain of rice wrapped in egg liquid, like golden grains of rice, loosely piled on the plate. The fragrance of the rice mixed with the smell of the egg liquid made his mouth water and his appetite grow just by looking and smelling.

Chinese cuisine emphasizes "color, aroma, and taste." Without a doubt, this plate of egg fried rice before him achieves the pinnacle of at least color and aroma.

Were it not for the price, Su Yanwei would happily praise the chef’s skill!

When he tasted the egg fried rice, the glistening rice mixed with the aroma of the egg liquid, its soft and sticky yet elastic texture filled his mouth, whetting his appetite and enchanting his spirit. He was completely enamored with this mouthful of egg fried rice.

Su Yanwei suddenly had an illusion of falling into a three-dimensional world; the place he was sitting should be Chef Aroma’s restaurant, right?

Oh my god! Such a transcendent, purely textured egg fried rice exists in this world!

The previous feelings of being a "foodie stooge" or "being scammed" completely vanished into thin air; the rice eaten in the past twenty-three years was all for naught!

Eat! Quickly eat!

What blind date, chat, women, unimportant! Of all things, eating is the greatest!

Su Yanwei and Chen Yan, who couldn’t stop their mouths from taking one bite after another, fully adhered to the rule of "no talking while eating."

Only after polishing off a bowl of egg fried rice and devouring the plate of sea snail meat did Su Yanwei still longingly shout to the girl collecting money behind the bar: "Waiter, another egg fried rice set meal, please!"

"Sorry, sir, only one of each dish is provided here, our chef and owner say too much of a good thing is bad," the girl bluntly rejected.

She was tired of explaining this to new, clueless diners every day.

"A store that does business this way exists?" Su Yanwei exclaimed incredulously.

Chen Yan looked at him and chuckled softly, "Now you see I wasn’t lying, right? So, is this set meal worth it?"

Su Yanwei savored it again and laughed, "Worth it, indeed worth it. Hey, you just mentioned the rice, egg, and sea snail. What’s their deal?"

"The rice here is Xiangshui rice, the egg is Tianshan egg, and the snail meat is supposedly premium snail. The shop has a certificate proving there isn’t a trace of microplastic in the snail meat."

"Xiangshui rice? Sounds pretty impressive." Su Yanwei felt ashamed of his limited knowledge.

"Xiangshui rice is tribute rice grown in the upper valley of the Mudanjiang of Changbai Mountain. It’s been a special supply for the Imperial Family since the Tang Dynasty. The yield is very low, and it’s used in state banquets now. The owner of this place is quite capable." Chen Yan flaunted her researched knowledge with a gleam as she enlightened Su Yanwei.

"Exquisite!" With such an explanation, Su Yanwei no longer felt ripped off. The ingredients are excellent, the culinary skill is top-notch, and selling at this price indeed isn’t a rip-off, "Let’s go, I see there are many people waiting."

Although Su Yanwei wasn’t entirely full, he didn’t intend to order more. He could come by himself next time; the price to treat someone here pricked his heart.

Just then, Chen Yan suddenly muttered while gazing towards the door: "Wow, that’s truly a handsome guy and a beautiful lady!"

Following her gaze, Su Yanwei saw Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue walking in side by side.

Lu Shouyue came here to dine every few days, and Lin Wanwan always encountered him when she came this way, so eventually, they simply messaged each other before eating, and everyone arranged a shared table.

At this moment, Lin Wanwan also spotted Su Yanwei and Chen Yan, walking straight to them and smiled, "Yanwei, you’re eating here today too? Who’s this?"

Chen Yan looked at Su Yanwei in surprise, "You know each other?"

Su Yanwei embarrassedly introduced both sides briefly, "Oh, yes, this is my cousin, Lin Wanwan, and this is my former client, Lu Shao; Wanwan, Lu Shao, she’s Chen Yan."

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

The two parties exchanged polite but distant greetings.

"Uh, Wanwan, we’ve already finished, so we’ll take our leave first. Enjoy your meal and sorry to interrupt," Su Yanwei said.

Lin Wanwan replied, "Finished eating so early? It’s rare to bump into each other; why not eat a bit more together? Today, I’ll treat you. Mr. Lu, is that okay?"

Lu Shouyue laughed, "Of course, since he quit at SV, it’s rare to meet him. Let me treat today."

Lin Wanwan shook her head, "No, we agreed to take turns, and this time it’s my turn to treat!"

Lu Shouyue smiled, "Alright, as you wish."

"We’ve already eaten," Su Yanwei said.

Su Yanwei was a bit embarrassed, but not completely declining; it was a bit of a half-hearted protest. Mainly, he indeed wanted to eat more, and with his cousin there, a free meal was tempting.

He wasn’t embarrassed about freeloading off his cousin’s meal, but rather the shame of being seen on a blind date.

Lin Wanwan had already noticed that Su Yanwei and the girl seemed to be on their first blind date—there was a certain unfamiliarity. So she enthusiastically invited them to eat a bit more.

After all, Su Yanwei was now her only close relative in modern times. Running into his blind date, she naturally wanted to know about the girl’s character, even to help her cousin take a look.

The four of them sat down again, and Lin Wanwan said to the few, "Order whatever you like to eat."

Lu Shouyue ordered two seafood dishes, Su Yanwei said he was easygoing and didn’t order, and Chen Yan, seeing the Chanel logo on Lin Wanwan’s outfit and the watch on Lu Shouyue’s wrist, ordered a 3,800-yuan Flying Phoenix in Heaven dish.

Although there was only one chef here, the serving speed was not slow at all—mainly because the restaurant wasn’t big, there were many people lined up outside, and not many dining tables inside.

People dining here had become accustomed to booking their time and coming in when it’s ready, so they rarely had to wait long.
