Steaming hot vapor rose from the clay pot; ignoring the boiling heat, everyone who smelled the aroma couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It is fragrant, lingering, and mellow.
As the wisps of steam dissipated, the contents of the casserole were revealed to everyone.
The originally snow-white rice was cooked until it bloomed and expanded, becoming soft and sticky. The rice oil extracted from the rice mixed with the previously stir-fried ingredients, creating a light brown color.
With a faint sheen, the black mushrooms, which had been shriveled, plumped up and became round and plump, while the bright orange carrot cubes boldly displayed their presence, bright and eye-catching.
Ling Miao added some chopped greens, seasoned it simply, and then started serving rice to everyone.
Looking at the few people holding bowls and waiting obediently in line for their meals, Ling Miao suddenly had the illusion of being a cafeteria auntie.
The students looked at you with their bright, watery eyes, full of longing.
She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, and took the bowls to serve the food one by one.
The waiting live stream viewers: "..."
No, aren't we your favorite kids, streamer?
You'll lose us if you keep doing this!
[Host, you're really going to lose me if you keep doing this!!]
[The world is going to the dogs; do livestreamers no longer need to please their viewers? [crying emoji]]
[Woman, you won't even give me a perfunctory reply [crying]jpg.]
[Just one bite, please, host!]
Alice looked at the fragrant porridge in the bowl, but unlike the others, she didn't carefully scoop it out with a spoon and blow on it.
A lingering fragrance filled his nostrils. He swallowed a few times, stirred vigorously with the spoon, blew on it several times, and then eagerly brought it to his lips—
hiss--
It's so hot!
He hissed, his face contorted, his tongue curled up from the heat, but he stubbornly refused to spit it out.
It's so delicious!!!
The rice on your tongue has been cooked until it bursts open, soft, sticky, and fragrant. Originally slightly sweet, the rice becomes glossy and delicious after being soaked in the ribs and other ingredients.
The mushrooms have a meaty aroma, and one bite almost makes you feel like you're biting into thick, fatty meat. A burst of juice fills your mouth, carrying the mushroom's own fragrance and a rich meaty aroma.
Ellis took a bite that was slightly hard and realized it was a small pork rib.
To make it easier to chew, Ling Miao cut the ribs into smaller pieces. Since she bought premium ribs, the meat could easily separate from the bone with a gentle suck.
With a flick of her tongue, Ellis effortlessly rolled the tender, deboned pork ribs onto her tongue. The meat was succulent, smooth, and not greasy at all, with a hint of mushroom flavor.
The orange carrot cubes and chopped greens are refreshing, and one bite fills your mouth with indescribable satisfaction.
The glistening, blooming rice, the tender, fall-off-the-bone pork ribs, the plump, juicy mushrooms, and the refreshing carrots and greens—not to mention the people in the live stream, Ellis and his friends were already completely captivated.
After tasting it carefully, Ling Miao still felt a little regretful, "It would be even better if it had some crispy fried shallots."
Susan reluctantly lifted her head from her bowl, a few grains of rice still clinging to the corner of her mouth, her eyes shining. "Could it taste even better?"
Ling Miao nodded, somewhat regretfully: "It's just that there are no shallots."
Just thinking about the rich aroma of scallions and the crispy texture made her mouth water.
The viewers in the live stream watched her with a disappointed expression: "..."
Does the streamer seem to be in Versailles?
Whether it was Versailles or not, the thought came and went quickly; everyone ate without looking up, wiping their mouths contentedly.
Looking up, I saw several people on the live streamer's page, their mouths still covered in rice grains, looking completely absorbed.
Suddenly I feel so pathetic.
We're all human, so why are some people able to enjoy the fruits of reality?
Are they just fooling themselves?
Huh? Huh? Huh? Why?
Before he could finish his anger, the screen in front of him suddenly went out.
The familiar empty black interface—
The streamer has ended the broadcast.
Everyone: "......"
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they conscientiously cleaned up the kitchen.
Ling Miao looked at Susan, who pushed her out. The cleaning in the kitchen was done by the group of them.
After thinking for a moment, he called out to Susan, who was about to leave.
"Would you like to work for me?"
"Um?"
"The current salary may be a bit low, but it includes meals and accommodation."
These past two days, Ling Miao reluctantly upgraded the restaurant. Although the exterior didn't show much change, the living conditions improved considerably.
At least a few more empty rooms were created.
Ling Miao looked at Susan, who reported on her every day without fail, rain or shine, but never mentioned her family. Even though she was close to Grandma Audya, they weren't actually together.
So, what was Susan doing when she wasn't at the restaurant?
Ling Miao recalled the girl she met when the business first opened; the round, orange cat looked so warm and inviting.
But the fleeting pain in her eyes was genuine.
Susan paused for a moment, then smiled broadly: "Okay!"
Just after Susan agreed to Ling Miao's offer of the job, the people in the kitchen finished cleaning and came out.
Before Ling Miao could speak, Avril hugged her tightly and sighed, "Manager, we have to go."
After saying that, he looked at Ling Miao pitifully.
Ling Miao looked at the other person and tentatively asked, "Well then, I wish you good luck?"
"Manager, you're so heartless! He's about to leave, and you didn't even try to stop him!"
Avril was filled with righteous indignation, while the two people behind her also looked reluctant to part.
Ling Miao laughed: "I'd like to stay, but will you stay?"
