Since that's what they said, Mingmei didn't know what to say to refute it. In order to make her buffed lunchbox taste good, Mingmei chose the simplest mashed potato and ham rice ball.
She packed two fist-sized rice balls tightly into a box, and then sprinkled some black sesame seeds on top to make it barely presentable.
She never expected that the special-effect boxed meals she made would be collected and distributed by higher authorities.
At least that's the case given that Mingmei can only make ten servings a day at the moment.

For a moment, the restaurant smelled particularly disgusting, and by the end, Mingmei felt that her sense of taste was about to fail.
