Chapter 763
"Is this truly egg fried rice? I... I've never tasted such delicious rice before!" Chloe said as she shoveled the food
into her mouth, quickly finishing her portion of it.
Frowning with dissatisfaction, Jonah asked, "Do you need to be so tic? It's just egg fried rice, so what's the
big deal?"
As he spoke, he too took a bite, only to find that he was unable to stop once he started.
Seeing how ravenously his father was eating, Tate immediately did the sthing and was at once enamored.
Soon, everyone at the table was busy eating.
Meanwhile, Minerva gaped at them. Is the egg fried rice really that good?
Skeptically, she bent over her own plate, upon which was srice her mother had spooned for her.

After taking a bite, she immediately fell in love too.
"Is... Is this actually egg fried rice?" she exclaimed as she cleaned her plate. "How did they make it so delicious?"
However, when she went to get a second helping, she realized that the serving platter was empty and that her
younger brother, Tate, was scraping the last bit of rice into his own plate.
Furiously, she cried out, "Wait-how did you all finish it so quickly? | had one bite and now there's no more left for
me!"
Smirking, Demi replied, "Well, we asked you to have sbut you said you didn't want to. Since it's best not to
waste food, we helped you finish your portion."
The response incensed Minerva. If she had known earlier how delicious the fried rice was, she would have eaten

Happily, Helen sighed. "Clearly, this chef knows what he's doing. It makes sense that they would sell it for twenty
thousand at a place like this."
For once, Chloe and Jonah had no comeback, as the fried rice was simply too delicious.
Licking his lips, Tate complained, "The only problem is that the serving is too small. Can we get one more platter,
waiter?"
With wide, hopeful eyes, Minerva chirped, "One isn't enough. Two more-no, five more!"
Looking uncomfortable, the waiter apologized, "I'm terribly sorry everyone, but the chef only makes ten servings
of Golden Rice each day and this was the tenth platter."
However, Minerva retorted, "What kind of rule is that? Just have him make it! It's not like he's not being paid. |
don't believe he'd refuse us if he's paid."
Shaking his head, the waiter refuted, "He would, miss, as the ingredients for this dish need to be pickled and
prepared a day beforehand. As he has used up the ingredients for today, you will need to cback tomorrow if
you wish to have smore of his Golden Rice!"
Just like that, Minerva was left at a loss. It looked like she was not going to get another serving of the rice. Have |

Chloe then asked with a frown, "I'm curious-could you not have him prepare more ingredients beforehand? How
could ten platters a day possibly be enough for something so delicious?" "These are the chef's rules and no one
can change his mind," the waiter replied. "Once, he received a visit from Jeff Bezos. Mr. Bezos asked for another
portion but the chef did not concede." Instantly, the group fell silent.
Jeff Bezos was a renowned billionaire and if the chef wouldn't budge for someone so important, there was no way
he was going to change his mind for them.
"Alright, alright. Just send the rest of the food in!" Minerva instructed, waving her hand impatiently despite the
regret.
If she had moved sooner, she would have been able to have more than a mouthful of rice.
Currently, the taste of it was still lingering on her tongue and it compounded her regret. Nevertheless, she had
learned her lesson and would not put down the spoon in her hand.
She decided she would move first when the next dish arrived.
After all, the early bird got the worm.
