Chapter 309: Chapter 139: Ding! You’ve Got a New Delicious Custom Order

About twenty minutes later, Zhang Jiayi slumped over the steering wheel. "It’s finally Coach Shen’s turn!"

"She finally made it. Let’s wait for Coach Shen to get her food, and after she’s done eating, we can go over."

The sassy one swept her hair back. "Coach Shen probably won’t eat here. Look over there—all the tables and chairs are taken, and there are people all along the roadside. She’ll probably get it to go."

The four of them watched Shen Ning’s every move.

This time, Shen Ning didn’t choose the Stir-Fried Yellow Beef. While her calculations told her that Stir-Fried Yellow Beef without extra oil or salt was very low in calories, she found herself more inclined toward the stir-fried tomatoes and eggs.

Because...

"I’ll have an order of rice with that, please!"

Aunt Fang grabbed a pre-portioned bowl of rice directly from a warmer.

The disposable paper bowl used for the rice was thoughtfully designed. It had a large capacity but was never filled to the brim.

This wasn’t because Delicious was stingy, but to make it easier to mix everything together!

Without a moment’s hesitation, Shen Ning eagerly tipped the container of stir-fried tomatoes and eggs from her left hand into the large bowl of rice in her right. Then, just like Zhan Yang, she used her spoon to vigorously mix it all together.

Once the sauce and ingredients were evenly mixed into the rice, she scooped up a heaping spoonful.

Just one bite.

Shen Ning’s eyes instantly curved into crescents—an expression reserved for moments of pure bliss!

’Oh my god, what kind of sorcery is this? How can a simple dish like stir-fried tomatoes and eggs be this delicious?’

Whenever Shen Ning made this dish herself, she would always pick out the eggs and leave the tomatoes.

Most tomatoes you could buy these days were artificially ripened greenhouse varieties that were hard as rocks even when cooked.

When stir-fried, they were not only sour but also had a crunchy texture!

It was just awful.

But this one was completely different. With a single bite, she found the tomatoes were nothing like she expected. The soft, tender texture combined with a sweet, succulent flavor... it was the tomato of her dreams!

The last time she’d tasted a tomato like this was ages ago, back in her family’s vegetable garden in her old hometown.

"Delicious!"

Shen Ning shoveled in another two mouthfuls, only then starting to appreciate the true genius of the dish.

The eggs were fried until they were just a bit firm, giving the outside a slight chewiness, but the inside of each piece was incredibly tender!

And somehow, the pieces of egg had been cooked in such a way...

...that they had managed to soak up all the juices from the tomatoes. Every bite was like eating egg, yet it was bursting with the sweet flavor of the tomatoes!

’Now *this* is how you make stir-fried tomatoes and eggs!’

Before she knew it, Shen Ning had already devoured half the bowl of rice.

’Something this good? Of course I’m getting another bowl!’

Acting on pure instinct, Shen Ning picked up her bowl and went to the back of the line.

’She wondered how many servings the person in front of her was on. The tactic was a bit much, but it was definitely effective!’

’Just buy your food, go back to the end of the line, and you can eat while you wait.’

’If you ate slowly enough, you’d be back at the front by the time you finished.’

’A truly seamless system!’

Her instinctive action, however, left the four rich women in the nearby G-Wagon completely stunned.

"What the heck? Why is Coach Shen getting back in line?"

Zhang Jiayi was just as baffled. They had all just finished touching up their makeup, getting ready to get out and join the line themselves!

Good grief, she hadn’t even put her compact away before she saw Shen Ning march right to the back of the line to wait again.

"Coach Shen hasn’t even finished the food she’s holding, and she’s getting back in line?"

Zhang Jiayi swallowed hard. "It looks like the stir-fried tomatoes and eggs. Just how good must it be to make our dear Coach Shen act like that?"

The sassy one let out a suggestive whistle. "Well, girls, looks like our options are to go say an awkward hello or just give up on eating here today."

The other woman, dressed in a stunning yellow outfit, was speechless. "There’s no way I’m going over there now!"

Compared to food, maintaining one’s image was more important.

"Hey, what’s that?" Zhang Jiayi asked, pointing to a sign next to the red food truck. "Meiweilai Catering Company?"

Since it was a bit far away, she just opened her phone’s camera and zoomed in all the way.

"Due to renovations for a sports competition’s catering and accommodation contract, some of our regular services are temporarily unavailable."

"To continue providing a great culinary experience, we will be selling food from this stall for the time being."

"If you find that we are no longer here one day, please contact us at the address below."

Her eyes started to hurt from squinting, so she just snapped a picture and zoomed in. "High-Tech Development Zone, Block A, Building 8, 19th Floor."

The sassy one said, "They actually have a company? I’m looking them up online!"

The woman in yellow was faster, exclaiming in surprise, "Whoa! This company is interesting! They do custom gourmet orders!"

"It is interesting," Zhang Jiayi said, searching on a video app as well. "The comments here say the owner of this company has been praised by numerous National Banquet Chefs. That’s incredible!"

"Oh!" the sassy one said suddenly. "We don’t have training tomorrow, right? Why don’t we... go check them out in the Development Zone? Tomorrow’s our girls’ night anyway. Let’s see what kind of spread the owner can cook up for us."
