Chapter 8, Father, I still want it
Purchase? "Mai Ge was taken aback for a moment, suddenly recalling that during the task completion at the Chef's Trial Arena, the system had mentioned something about obtaining the purchasing rights for ingredients. However, at that time, all of his attention was drawn to Yangzhou Fried Rice, and he did not pay it any mind, assuming that the ingredients were provided for free by the system. He never expected that they actually needed to be purchased.
"The Xiaomi is starting up," Amy said happily as she withdrew her spoon, scooped up another spoonful of fried rice, and looked at the rice with a serious expression, saying, "I apologize, Rainbow, but I must eat you."
Maggie couldn't help but smile; the little girl's thoughts were indeed simple. With one hand propping up her chin, she looked at Amy with full anticipation, feeling somewhat nervous.
"Eat slowly," Mag said, getting up to pour a glass of water and placing it beside her. He watched as the little one's pointed ears moved adorably, a satisfied smile on his face. Amy's performance had already spoken volumes; she was very pleased with this serving of fried rice. The tedious and repetitive practice in the chef's space had finally yielded the best reward at this moment. Just watching her eat made everything feel worthwhile.

This feeling of being cared for is truly wonderful
Of course there is enough rice, and since Xiaomi's fried rice was eaten by his father in large bites, Xiaomi must not have been full. Shall I go and fry another portion to eat together with Xiaomi?" Maige said with a smile, ruffling Xiaomi's hair; the little guy always thinks of him, so considerate.
"No, Father gets up so early to make breakfast for Xiaomi, he must be hungrier than Xiaomi," Amy pouted, holding the spoon in mid-air, shaking slightly due to her small strength, yet showing no intention of retracting it.
Large shrimp 50 copper coins each - requires 2
Total: 296 copper coins
Looking back at the memories, although Xiaomi is only 4 years old, he can eat two bowls of rice in one sitting, which is comparable to an adult. The first time he tasted such delicious fried rice, he surely wanted to have another bowl. However, this early in the morning, Maige did not want the little one to overeat, so giving him a small bowl later would be just about right
Green onion 1 copper coin per plant - requires one stem
Maggie got up, cleared the plates from the table, and prepared to head into the kitchen
The free use of ingredients benefit has ended. From now on, all ingredients provided by the system must be purchased by the host before use. Below is the price list for the ingredients; please refer to it for your review. Just then, the system's voice suddenly sounded.
"No, Father must take a bite first, then I will eat," Amy shook her head and scooped a large spoonful of fried rice, somewhat laboriously extending it towards Mag.
Ah? The newly seated Maige was momentarily taken aback, looking at the colorful fried rice in the plate, which indeed resembled a shattered rainbow. The innocence of childhood is truly the most delightful thing. With a smile, he nodded and said: "Yes, this is rainbow fried rice. Xiaomi, hurry up and try to see how it tastes."
"Alright, then I will take a bite first." Magge smiled as he took a mouthful of rice from the spoon. The fragrant fried rice went down smoothly, filling his heart with a warm feeling. The little one had clearly swallowed several times in secret, yet he still insisted that Magge take the first bite.
Although he thinks this Yangzhou fried rice is extremely delicious, it is, after all, food from Earth, which is completely different from the culinary style of this world. He wonders whether Amy will like it and if it aligns with her eating habits
Tree mushrooms are 30 copper coins each
Winter bamboo shoots are 30 copper coins each
"Alright, Father is really amazing at cooking today." Amy looked at Mag, clapping her little hands, her eyes filled with admiration
Until she finished all the fried rice on her plate, Amy held the plate with both hands and licked it, not leaving even a single shrimp underneath the plate. After putting down the plate, she said with great anticipation: "Father, I want more, I want to eat rainbow fried rice, rainbow fried rice is super delicious"
The fried rice, just out of the pot, was still steaming, and the aroma of eggs mixed with scallions wafted towards Amy. She couldn't help but take a deep breath, her eyes shining as she gazed at the fried rice before her
Focusing intently on the price list, Maige's eyes widened in surprise, "What the heck, system, are you sure this price is correct?"
This large shrimp costs fifty copper coins each, which can be accepted, but selling a single green bean for one copper coin... is this not extortion?" McG raised an eyebrow, as the list clearly stated: the ingredients required for a serving of Yangzhou fried rice.
A bowl of rice costs 30 copper coins
"Xiaomi can eat first, my father is not hungry, I will make another portion later." Mag laughed and shook his head
Green peas 1 copper coin for one piece - requires five pieces
"Rainbow fried rice is so delicious, and Father is so great..." Amy mumbled something during a pause, but her gaze never left the plate. After speaking, she lowered her head and continued to shovel the fried rice, showing no intention of stopping to take a break.
The price labeling is all normal, the system calmly responded
After taking a bite, I couldn't help but immediately take a second bite, one bite after another, unable to stop at all, feeling that this is the happiest moment.
Do you want more?" Magge was somewhat surprised. He glanced at the empty plate, as he had prepared an adult portion, yet the little one had finished it all and still wanted more
With the cost of the ingredients for this Yangzhou fried rice, I could buy 296 sweet and crispy biscuits! Magge is speechless, is this still allowing people to do business
"Um, um, Xiaomi still wants to eat," Amy nodded, blinking her big eyes and looking at Mag with a face full of anticipation. However, after a moment's thought, she glanced towards the kitchen and hesitantly said, "But Father hasn't eaten yet. Is there enough rice at home? Xiaomi can also skip eating."
A piece of ham costs 40 copper coins
I suppose I will soon come to love the feeling of cooking. Mag thought to himself, watching the little one eat was so fulfilling, but the little one was enjoying the food so much that he felt a bit hungry himself
The crispy cookie that originally held the top position in her heart, when compared to this fried rice, seemed as if it were made of stone, utterly insignificant, and she probably would not want to eat it again in the future
Each grain of rice is wrapped in golden yellow egg, appearing as if it is glowing, and not only in gold, but also in green, red, white... various colors mixed together, making it hard to resist swallowing, I looked up at McGonagall with curiosity and asked: "Father, did you pick the rainbow and stir-fry it?"
30 copper coins for one egg - requires 2 pieces
As Amy just fed the fried rice into her mouth, her eyes instantly lit up, and the small pointed ears partially hidden under her silver hair twitched. The soft rice wrapped in tender eggs, succulent shrimp, savory ham, sweet and tender tree mushrooms, and crisp winter bamboo shoots all blended together in this bite of fried rice, perfectly merging into one. The texture was so delicate, and the rich, sweet flavor melted in her mouth, leaving her at a loss for words to describe how delicious it was
