Translator: Xiong Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth

Having appreciated the beautiful and elegant menu, Xiao Wu and Ma Jia started to check what dishes were provided .

When they saw the price, Ma Jia just raised her eyebrows in surprise, but didn’t say anything . Nevertheless, Xiao Wu shouted loudly, "Boss, are you receiving Thai baht?"

"Sorry, we receive only RMB . " Shen Min emphasized smilingly .

"They are so expensive . " Xiao Wu felt slightly awkward . She was merely an assistant and her monthly salary was less than 4000 RMB . How could she afford such expensive dishes?

"Xiao Wu, I will treat today," Ma Jia said with a smile .

"Thank you, but that’s not good," Xiao Wu refused solemnly .

"Never mind . I want to treat to thank you for accompanying me out today . " Ma Jia glanced at her with her big eyes, which appeared rather affecting and charming .

"No . " Xiao Wu refused again .

"Do what I say . " Ma Jia became serious right away .

Her whole person looked more majestic immediately . Then Xiao Wu no longer refused her .

"I want a serving of Egg Fried Rice," Xiao Wu ordered only one dish smartly .

"I want this one, this one and this one . That’s all . " Ma Jia ordered a serving of Jinling Prawns for herself and some other dishes of beef and vegetables liked by Xiao Wu .

She didn’t order any main dish as it may result in a bad figure in the drama clothes if she ate too much . As an actress, she had to maintain her nice figure .

This time, the dishes ordered by Ma Jia were carried up to them by Yuan Zhou personally .

"Here are the dishes for you two . Take your time . " Yuan Zhou revealed a smile rarely .

"Ok, thanks . " Ma Jia thanked him with a nod, but didn’t take off the face mask .

"Humm . " Yuan Zhou nodded the head and then returned to the kitchen and started to prepare the dishes ordered by another customer .

Not until Yuan Zhou turned around did Ma Jia take off the face mask and begin to eat .

Yuan Zhou saw the scene clearly, but he didn’t really mind at all .

. . .

The weather never reasoned with humans . Especially after the air pollution got more serious, it became more capricious .

It rained whenever it wanted to . Lucky that the system was more precise than the weather report and had already predicted it would rain today .

Therefore, Yuan Zhou rarely took a break in the evening

"Pa Pa Pa Pa", the continuous and incessant raindrops emitted faint sound on the ground .

"I have the liquor, but still lack some delicacies . " Looking at the inky sky, Yuan Zhou stroked his forehead and thought earnestly .

"Pi Li Pa La", Yuan Zhou groped around in the kitchen and suddenly found a grill .

"Isn’t it a BBQ grill? Why is it here?" Yuan Zhou took the small grill and became fairly curious .

This time, however, the system answered him without being asked .

The system displayed, "It’s a cooking utensil provided by the system . "

"Tsk tsk . It seems my dinner is solved . " Yuan Zhou suddenly had an inspiration and worked out what to eat .

Due to the rain, Yuan Zhou didn’t have lunch in the afternoon and specially waited until the night, preparing to eat something good .

The readymade flavorings and top-notch food ingredients tempted him .

He took out a piece of marbled pork from the fridge . The pork was used to make stuffing for the soup dumplings and still had the pork skin on it .

And another piece of fresh beef that was used for the dish of Translucent Beef Slices .

He took them under the tap and washed them clean with the water . After that, he removed the anadesma with the miracle kitchen knife . That way, it wouldn’t have any offensive smell when it was grilled .

The marbled pork was cut into pieces about half a fingernail thick and then stacked into the plate .

Likewise, after the anadesma was removed, the beef was cut into thin slices about half a palm large .

Another ingredient was the well-prepared tofu . Yuan Zhou specially prepared the tender tofu in the afternoon and packed it in a bamboo box .

Then, he caught a string bag of prawns . After washing them clean, he directly took out the veins and put them in a plate without removing the shell .

And moreover, half plate of Jinling Grass and a pot of tea leaves used to boil the tea eggs were soaked with hot water by Yuan Zhou .

The entire kitchen was lively and hectic . And the sound of "Pi Li Pa La" could be heard without end .

"Why aren’t there bamboo slips for BBQ?" Looking at the bamboo on the steamer, Yuan Zhou was thinking of something .

The system displayed, "The kitchen items have all been provided . Host, you can take anything by yourself . "

"System, you know a lot about what I’m thinking today," Yuan Zhou said contentedly .

However, the system just ignored him and dumbly went invisible again .

Following the characters on the cabinet, Yuan Zhou opened one of them and then found the bamboo slips were stacked neatly in it . Yuan Zhou then became satisfied .

"Was it worrying that I would dismantle the steamer?" While stringing the meat with the bamboo slips, Yuan Zhou made a wild guess .

Yuan Zhou did the work very fast . Having finished that work, he naturally needed to find a place to do the BBQ .

The second floor of the pub was a nice place as what was provided by the system wouldn’t be so unscientific .

Even if there wasn’t a roof, Yuan Zhou had already found that the place was totally out of the reach of the rain .

Therefore, it was an ultimate enjoyment to eat the BBQ while drinking the liquor and listening to the wind and rain .

"Ah, shall I compose a poem?" Yuan Zhou lit the charcoal and said with a poetic sense .

Of course, the charcoal was also sponsored by the system for free . As for the total price shown on the system, Yuan Zhou indicated that a disappointing matter like that was not worth mentioning when he was happy .

After all, the rapidly increasing price was still affordable to Yuan Zhou .

"Forget it . Grilled meat is more important . " Yuan Zhou looked at the surrounding bamboo silently and gave up the idea of taking the bamboo shoots to eat .

Yuan Zhou put several kebabs of streaky pork on the grill first .

No matter it was kebabs or hot pot, Yuan Zhou liked to cook them one by one . That way, he could better monitor how well done the food was and also the taste of it .

In a short while, the streaky pork was roasted thoroughly and it released the fat with the sound of "Zi Zi" .

"Let me get some eagle claw tea . " Yuan Zhou took out the prepared tea water and brushed it on the pork .

With the temperature rising, the fragrance of the tea was slowly roasted out along with that of the fat .

Tea could essentially increase the fragrance of meat, especially the delicate fragrance of the pork .

Tea first and then various BBQ flavorings were added onto the roasted pork . Every flavoring would bring the streaky pork on the grill a particular fragrance, which overlaid all other fragrance .

"It seems my craftsmanship for making BBQ is also very nice," Yuan Zhou said confidently .

Three minutes later, the roasted streaky pork with scorching aroma that was enjoyed by Yuan Zhou was available to be eaten .

"I give full score to the fragrance . A sip of liquor first makes it a better enjoyment . " After Yuan Zhou drank a cup of bamboo liquor, he started to eat the kebabs .

The streaky pork provided by the system was quite standard, half lean meat and half fat . After it was roasted above the charcoal fire, the fat flowed out and then wrapped the entire piece of pork, which smelled just wonderful .

"Awoo . " Yuan Zhou gulped down an entire piece .

"Yummy . " He couldn’t help praising .

The entire piece of streaky pork that had been gulped down had evenly-distributed fat and lean meat . The lean meat had sort of scorching aroma and the fat over the lean meat had been thoroughly roasted out, leaving only the tender texture .

During the chewing, the fat even gave him a feeling that the oil was almost about to burst out . Plus, along with the lean meat that was roasted dry, it was simply the supreme delicacy .

"Ba Ji Ba Ji", Yuan Zhou chewed the pork constantly . When it went to the pork skin, it likewise wasn’t greasy at all .

It tasted refreshing, smooth, flexible and chewy . Moreover, it contained an abundance of collagen .

"Great!" Yuan Zhou couldn’t help but shout that .

"Ouch . My beef . " Having savored the pork for a while, Yuan Zhou suddenly came to realize that he was still roasting something else . Luckily it was the beef this time .

It only required a little time and stir-fried salt before it was ready for eating .

It didn’t require any other flavorings . Of course, Yuan Zhou preferred to eat up the roasted streaky pork now .

"This is just the authentic roasted streaky pork . " Yuan Zhou signed with emotion while eating .
