Chapter 7: Receiving the Prize Money, Fried Rice Shows Its Power



"Yihang took first place in Zhoushan City this time, and Yunyin you came in second. The two of you are evenly matched, with only two points separating you."

The city and the school both provided corresponding rewards.

The city awarded the first place winner 5,000 yuan and the second place winner 3,000 yuan.

There are fewer at the school.

The first place winner will receive a prize of 3,000 yuan, and the second place winner will receive a prize of 1,000 yuan.

"Yihang has a total of eight thousand yuan, and Yunyin has four thousand yuan. I've already packed them separately. You can count them." Chen Yi took out two large envelopes from the drawer and handed them to the two men.

Liu Yihang and Yunyin both said there was no need to count anymore, they trusted their teacher.

Chen Yi was very satisfied with the result. He knew that Liu Yihang's family was not well-off, and with this 8,000 yuan, it would be no problem to support him to finish college.

Although Yunyin was a little angry that she lost to Liu Yihang by two points, she was still happy for him.

Her family is well-off, so these few thousand yuan are just icing on the cake for her, something she can do without, but for Liu Yihang, it's a lifeline.

She had previously seen Liu Yihang skip lunch at the cafeteria and eat dry biscuits with pickled vegetables in the classroom, and she had secretly shared half of her food with him.

But he was too sensitive and didn't accept it.

So from that time on, she knew he was a proud man.

This outcome is a happy one for everyone.

The two stayed with Chen Yi for a while longer, listening to the old teacher's last words of advice. It was almost noon when they reluctantly left.

"It's almost noon, let me treat you to lunch!" After two lifetimes, Liu Yihang could finally invite Yunyin without worrying about his family's financial situation.

With eight thousand yuan in his pocket, he felt confident.

Yunyin wanted to refuse, thinking that dinner must already be ready at home.

But then she thought of the boy's sensitivity, and being kind, she couldn't bear to let him overthink things.

"Oh well."

"Then you get on first, I'll give you a ride, let's go to the food street to eat something." Liu Yihang patted the back seat of the bicycle.

He belatedly noticed the rust on the seat and felt it was a bit dirty, so he quickly wiped it with the hem of his shirt to make sure no crumbs fell off.

Seeing his nervous expression, Yunyin burst out laughing.

"I'm not that delicate."

"I don't think you're being delicate. I just want to give you the best."

Liu Yihang drove his goddess through the streets and alleys. Yunyin gently held onto the hem of his clothes. His palms were sweating with nervousness, and his heart was pounding.

Even the longest road eventually comes to a stop.

The two soon arrived at the food street that Liu Yihang had mentioned.

It's actually just an alley with a lot of restaurants and many street vendors.

Therefore, it is jokingly referred to as a food street.

At lunchtime, people lined up to eat, and the alley was completely blocked.

The two walked through the alley.

"What do you want to eat? Pick whatever you like, I have money today!" Liu Yihang waved his hand.

Yunyin thought for a moment, then pointed directly to a roadside stall and said, "Let's have some fried rice."

"No, let's find a restaurant. I have money. There are so many people here, it'll just squeeze you in."

Liu Yihang himself didn't care, but he didn't want her to be wearing such beautiful clothes and eating in a dirty and messy environment with a group of migrant workers.

I always feel out of place.

Yunyin felt that he had finally received the prize money, and he shouldn't spend it recklessly. He should save it for his studies and didn't want him to spend it.

She was afraid of hurting his pride if she paid for it herself.

So after weighing the options, she randomly chose a roadside stall.

"Let's go with this place. I suddenly have a craving for fried rice with eggs."

Liu Yihang's heart softened beyond belief.

How could he not understand what she meant?

"Oh well."

He helped her squeeze through, found two empty seats, and ordered a plate of fried rice for each of them.

There were many people ordering food, and the owner was extremely busy.

Liu Yihang suddenly noticed that there was an empty stove burner next to him. Remembering the recipe he had just received that morning, he was eager to try it out.

"Boss, I'm a cook too. I see there are quite a lot of people here, and I'm in a hurry. Could you let me cook two portions myself? I'll pay the same price."

The fat boss was very easy to talk to.

He took out another pot from under the table, placed it on the stove, and gestured for Liu Yihang to do as he pleased.

Liu Yihang tossed the wok around a bit, trying to get a feel for it.

The fat boss prepared all the ingredients.

Just put it directly into the pot.

Following the recipe, Liu Yihang first added some vegetable oil to the rice and mixed it to separate the rice grains, then poured in half of the egg mixture and mixed it well.

Turn the heat to high, heat the oil in the wok, add the rice mixed with oil and egg, and stir-fry the rice quickly until it is even and dry, so that the egg coats each grain of rice, which is commonly known as "gold wrapping silver".

Then add cooked green peas, ham, and runny eggs, season with salt and chopped green onions, stir-fry briefly, and serve.

The entire process is precise to the second, and is strictly followed according to the recipe.

The moment the food was taken off the heat, the surrounding diners smelled a strong aroma that immediately whetted their appetites.

What smells so good?

"Ah, it smells so good, I'm so hungry."

The owner of the fried rice stall next door was the first to spot it.

He turned his head and said, "I didn't realize that this young man was such an expert at such a young age!"

Liu Yihang smiled and moved on to making the second batch of fried rice.

The first one was just practice, and I'm not completely proficient yet, but I believe the second one will be even better.

Sure enough, the second serving of fried rice was ready.

Almost everyone around could smell it.

"Young man, are you selling what you have?"

"Wow, this smells amazing!"

Liu Yihang carried two servings of fried rice back to Yunyin's side and placed the second serving in front of her.

"Please use it!"

"I didn't know you could cook!" Yunyin picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in her mouth.

The golden fried rice, with each grain distinct, looks more like a work of art when arranged on a plate.

One bite, and the rich flavor lingers on your lips and teeth, leaving a lasting aftertaste, like a baptism for the soul.

Without any extra seasonings, only the most ordinary ingredients, it creates a homely, comforting flavor that lingers in the memory.

Seeing the watchful eyes of those around her, Yunyin protected the plate with one hand while using the other to spoon food into her mouth, as being even a second late would be considered disrespectful to the food.

Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Liu Yihang then began to taste his own.

Anything produced by our system is guaranteed to be of high quality.

Liu Yihang was amazed by his own cooking skills for the first time when he made the egg fried rice according to the recipe provided by the system.

It tastes so good!

The two devoured their fried rice with lightning speed.

Yunyin even ate so much that she was stuffed and awkwardly let out a burp.

"Forehead"

How embarrassing.

Liu Yihang quickly served her a bowl of free vegetable soup.

After drinking the hot soup, Yunyin finally stopped hiccuping.

After Liu Yihang paid for the meal, the two strolled out leisurely.

Prices are really low these days; a plate of fried rice with egg only costs two yuan, which is such a great deal.

I ate too much and my stomach feels uncomfortable.
