Bonnie looked up at the alarm clock hanging on the wall. This morning she needed to receive a distinguished guest, Mrs. Mafia of the Marquis family.
She is a regular customer of the jewelry store, and she spends tens of millions on jewelry in the store every year. I have known her for many years, and she is the one who greets me every time. She has not changed since she became the store manager.
However, the lady has a very serious mysophobia, and her requirements in all aspects are almost to the point of perversion.
After so many years of contact, Bonnie has become familiar with various situations, but the problem she needs to worry about most today is not others, but the condition of her own throat.
"Ahem." Bonnie covered her mouth with a silk scarf and coughed twice. She nodded slightly apologetically to the elf sitting opposite her. If she coughed in front of Madam Malfia, she might not come again next time. This jewelry store and the already precarious workplace may become even worse.
"I should have gone to the magic pharmacist yesterday. Even if it was an emergency potion, I should have had it in hand." She sighed in her heart, and could only go to the store to drink more water later. , the cough must be stopped.
"Your preserved egg and lean meat porridge and sweet tofu curd." Yabei Mia came over with a tray and put down the preserved egg and lean meat porridge and sweet tofu curd.
The aroma of meat and a strange aroma hit my face along with the hot air.
“It smells so good!”
Bonnie's eyes lit up, and she was immediately attracted by the bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge in front of her. There were translucent preserved eggs and lean meat hidden in the thick white porridge. A small handful of fine chopped green onions were sprinkled on top, and the aroma was overflowing. .
After queuing up early, her stomach was already growling with hunger. She was so hungry after watching the cleaners eating the porridge outside, so Bonnie also ordered one.
I don't know if it was Bonnie's imagination, but the aroma of the bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge in front of her seemed to be a bit richer than what the cleaners ate before.
"Preserved eggs? Boss Mai is always so funny when naming food." Bonnie chuckled, picked up a wooden spoon and scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and there happened to be a translucent brown preserved egg in it.
On a whim, she raised the wooden spoon and took a look out the window. The crystal-clear preserved eggs actually had a luster like gems, and the surface had beautiful patterns like pine flowers.
"Wow." Bonnie opened her mouth in disbelief. She has worked in a jewelry store for so many years. This can compare with the gloss and transparency of many precious gems. The beautiful and soft luster makes it hard to imagine that this is just An egg?
"This should be called a gem egg. Boss Mai is simply a great artist." Bonnie praised, and couldn't help but wonder what a whole preserved egg would look like. It should be very beautiful, right?
Although she was a little reluctant to give up, the fragrant aroma and growling stomach still made Bonnie put the spoonful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge into her mouth.
The white porridge almost melts in your mouth, with the slightest hint of meaty aroma and a special egg fragrance. Next comes the preserved egg, the absolute protagonist of this mouthful of porridge.
The soft, glutinous and delicious porridge does not make the preserved eggs soft, not hard, not soft, and has a strange elasticity when it confronts the tongue.
Bonnie let the preserved egg play with the tip of her tongue for a while, and after confirming that there was no way to melt it, she tried to bite it open with her tongue.
It has a soft and bouncy bite, and after biting open, a faint fragrance blooms on the tip of the tongue. This is the source of the unique flavor that gives the preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes.
As if a young child had discovered a great joy, Bonnie chewed the preserved egg happily, feeling that her gloomy mood seemed to lighten up a lot.
Swallowing the crushed preserved egg, it turned into a refreshing coolness, sliding down her throat and into her stomach. It was like swallowing a mouthful of sweet cough medicine. Bonnie actually felt that her dry and itchy throat symptoms were relieved a lot. , even breathing became much smoother.
"This...this is this?" Bonnie touched her throat in disbelief. The cool feeling was gradually receding, but the dry and itchy feeling did not rebound immediately. Instead, it felt like she had been poured a ladle of ice water. After that, I lost the ability to resist for a while.
"Could it be that this preserved egg and lean meat porridge can relieve the symptoms of dry and itchy throat?!" Bonnie looked surprised. She picked up the spoon and took another mouthful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge and put it into her mouth. She swallowed the chewed preserved eggs together with the porridge. Next, the refreshing feeling in the throat becomes more obvious.
"It really works!" Bonnie ate bite after bite of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. After a mouthful of hot porridge entered her stomach, her stomach gradually warmed up, but her throat was particularly refreshing and warm, and the dry and itchy feeling was swept away.
"This feeling is so comfortable." Bonnie had only one feeling in her heart. She usually struggled with the dry and itchy throat for a long time every morning. She didn't know how much warm water she drank and how many throat lozenges she took to relieve it.
But now, just a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge has achieved an effect that has never been achieved in the past.
Ding!
Bonnie looked at the empty bowl in front of her. She had finished the delicious bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge without realizing it. The dry and itchy throat was completely suppressed. The refreshing and warm feeling even made her want to hum. A little tune.
"Delicious and unique preserved egg and lean meat porridge, it seems that you don't need to worry about the condition of your throat today." Bonnie touched her throat gently, with a smile on her face, moved the empty bowl in front of her aside, and took it Start eating the bowl of sweet tofu.
When she wakes up every day and eats a bowl of tofu, her skin becomes more and more delicate and smooth, and the whitening effect is countless times better than pearl powder. This has become Bonnie’s biggest motivation to come to the restaurant more than half an hour early every day and queue up. If she is late, she will Can't eat anymore.
"Excuse me, can you pack the preserved egg and lean meat porridge? I want to pack a small portion to take away." Bonnie finished eating the tofu and raised her hand to signal Yabei Mia to come over and asked.
"Preserved egg and lean meat porridge can be packed. It's a small portion. Please go to the counter and wait to receive it." Mia nodded and spoke to Anna, who then stepped forward to pay Bonnie's bill.
"Thank you." Bonnie quickly got the packaged preserved egg and lean meat porridge, said with a smile, and left Maimi's restaurant with the porridge.
Although her throat is now clear and she doesn't feel like coughing at all, she has never liked to take risks, so she packed a portion of preserved egg and lean meat porridge to take away and took a few bites before the appointed time to make sure nothing went wrong.
Shia Jewelry, one of the top three jewelry stores in the City of Chaos, is located in the most prosperous area of Aden Square, surrounded by many famous jewelry stores, and Shia Jewelry Store is undoubtedly the most dazzling store among them.
Bonnie was the first to arrive at the store, put the preserved egg and lean meat porridge back in her store manager's room, and then began to arrange today's work for the employees who came to the store one after another.
"I heard that Mrs. Mafia will come to the restaurant this morning. The manager's throat seems to be more serious these days. Is there anything going on?" A young clerk said softly, with a hint of worry in his expression.
"Mrs. Mafia has a mysophobia. If the store manager coughs in front of her, she will definitely not come to our Shia Jewelry next time. Then we will have lost a high-profile customer. I wonder if the boss will be heartbroken." An older clerk on the side said with a chuckle, with a bit of schadenfreude in his eyes.
