Sheng Jiu quickly replied, "Don't worry, guest. I wash it very thoroughly after each guest."
The woman's name was Lin Qi, and she worked in an office building not far away.
Hearing Sheng Jiu's reply, she nodded wearily.
Seafood allergy is no small matter, Sheng Jiu thought, she would wash the wok twice!
She not only washed the wok, but also washed all the tableware that might have been touched twice!
The Egg And Ham Rice Bowl had green chili peppers for flavor. Sheng Jiu, worried that Lin Qi might have allergies, asked loudly, "Can you eat spicy food? There are green chili peppers in the rice bowl for flavor."
Lin Qi's voice was hoarse and tired: "Yes, I can."
After hearing the response, Sheng Jiu got back to work with peace of mind.
The restaurant currently offers four dishes: Egg And Vegetable Noodles, Egg And Ham Rice Bowl, Crab Fried Rice, and Yam And Millet Porridge.
Except for the Yam And Millet Porridge, every dish uses eggs.
The system's standard is: each serving must contain at least two eggs.
Sheng Jiu loved watching the eggs bloom into golden flowers as they hit the hot oil.
Beautiful, delicious, and with an enticing aroma.
The rice bowl was quickly ready.
The savory aroma of the ham possesses a unique charm.
When it collides with the freshness of the eggs, it doesn't lose out at all. On the contrary, it rivals half the flavor, achieving a strange balance with the ham's umami in the restaurant.
The two elderly men had finished their fried rice and were leisurely sipping their water.
After smelling the aroma of the rice bowl, they exchanged a glance and silently made a decision: they would try this tonight!
Sheng Jiu quickly placed the rice bowl in front of the woman: "Egg And Ham Rice Bowl, please enjoy."
Lin Qi nodded politely.
As she walked this way, she smelled the most delicious aroma from this restaurant, and her feet walked in uncontrollably.
Once inside, she noticed the restaurant was small, its hygiene questionable, and the air thick with the smell of seafood. For a moment, Lin Qi regretted her decision.
However, she was exhausted and didn't want to bother with anything else, so she simply sat down.
Looking at the rice bowl in front her, with its golden egg flowers, neatly sliced ham, and roughly the same size green bell pepper slices…
They lay sprawled freely on top of the glistening white rice, yet couldn't suppress its gentle aroma.
Lin Qi had been working overtime for several days in a row, getting only a few hours of sleep, and her mind had to keep racing.
She was utterly exhausted, and when she left the company, she had no appetite.
But looking at the rice bowl in front of her, Lin Qi couldn't help but swallow hard.
It smells delicious!
The delicate aroma of rice, combined with the savory fragrance of eggs and the salty aroma of ham, forcefully fills the nostrils along with the slowly rising white steam.
Lin Qi had already forgotten that she had initially disliked this small restaurant. She swallowed hard and quickly picked up a spoon.
Seeing that the spoon was of decent quality, her initial resistance lessened somewhat.
Lin Qi tentatively scooped up a small mouthful of rice and put it in her mouth.
The salty and savory flavor of ham can rival the fresh and savory flavor of eggs, which shows how rich and powerful its own flavor is.
The aroma of the delicious food exploded in her mouth, and Lin Qi's eyes lit up.
Delicious!
Her previously poor appetite was instantly awakened, her taste buds were tingled, her soul reawakened, and her body felt as if it had been cleansed by the food's fragrance. All her fatigue vanished, and a rare radiance appeared on her face.
Sheng Jiu glanced at her from afar, thinking sympathetically, "Another one who can't sleep."
[You have medicine. It's food-grade, so you can use it with confidence.]
Upon hearing this, Sheng Jiu assumed the system wanted her to distribute the medicine and instinctively said, "No way, I don't even have enough for myself."
Ares and the others clearly weren't in good condition, and it was uncertain whether the Sleep Calming Agent remedies would keep up.
Now that every bottle used is one less, Sheng Jiu has no intention of wasting any.
She could offer emotional support to the physically and mentally exhausted Lin Qi, and she could also use her culinary skills to the fullest to soothe her weary body and soul with delicious food.
However, getting her medicine was out of the question!
Even if she offered to pay, she would never give up her medicine.
Having experienced the bliss of sleeping soundly through the night, she no longer wanted the agony of insomnia!
[The raw materials for the Sleep Calming Agents are available in the interstellar dimension. Although our technology cannot achieve that level of purification, but the corresponding ingredients can have a soothing effect.]
Hearing the system's words, Sheng Jiu perked up: "Then I'll ask Ares and the others for help!"
[Middleman, making a profit.]
Although Sheng Jiu also felt a pang of regret at the price difference being made, but the thought of the crab claw, which was even taller than herself, calmed her restless mind: "...Actually, some money should be earned by whoever is meant to earn it. I'm fine with spending some, and I'm not envious of others making money, really!"
She didn't want to be sent to see her great grandmother by a crab claw as soon as she entered that dimension and hadn't even found any ingredients yet!
[More dangerous dimensions will appear in the future.]
The system didn't offer much advice, only a friendly reminder.
Sheng Jiu fell silent after hearing this.
Lin Qi quickly finished her rice bowl. When wiping her mouth, she didn't use the napkins provided by the restaurant, but instead used the ones she had brought herself.
After wiping her mouth, Lin Qi savored the aroma of the rice, a hint of lingering satisfaction on her face.
She thought for a moment, then said loudly, "Boss, I'll take ten servings of rice bowls to go, thank you."
Sheng Jiu first went to the kitchen to check the ingredients, then replied, "Sorry, there are only ingredients left for six servings, is that alright?"
Lin Qi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded after understanding, "Sure."
As she spoke, she had already gone to the counter to scan the QR code to pay.
After Lin Qi left, several more people entered the restaurant. They found it smelled delicious, but couldn't eat it. Some of them asked, unwilling to give up, "Can't I have it without an egg?"
"I'm sorry, it affects the taste and your dining experience."
The diners were disappointed but didn't insist.
The young couple originally wanted to pack some food, but they ended up running out of ingredients while having a drink and discussing having a baby.
They were completely dumbfounded.
The two elderly men were also dumbfounded.
The girl persisted and offered a suggestion: "How about I go to the supermarket and buy you some eggs, the expensive kind!"
Sheng Jiu thanked her for her kindness and explained gently, "Our eggs are supplied exclusively by the company. The quality and taste of other eggs can't be guaranteed, so we can't use them. I'm really sorry."
Although everyone was disappointed after hearing her words, but they did not make things difficult for her anymore.
If they can't eat it today, there's always tomorrow.
After all the diners left, Sheng Jiu collected the dishes.
The kitchen had a multi-functional dishwasher provided by the system. It didn't look big, but it was surprisingly efficient, dishes placed inside would be replaced with new ones after half an hour.
Moreover, it could fit any size dish!
After putting the dishes in, Sheng Jiu looked at the half-basin of crab meat left and wondered what to do with it.
Before she could figure it out, the iron gate upstairs was banged on again.
