After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

Night falls quickly in Jiangcheng. The neon lights have just come on, but the "Xingfuli" alley in the old city is unusually dark.

This is an urban village in Jiangcheng. Power lines are tangled overhead like spider webs, and the ground is always wet.

Half an hour ago, Lin Fan rented a bungalow with a small courtyard here for 600 yuan a month.

Although the house was old and the paint was peeling, it was still relatively clean. Most importantly, it was cheap and allowed cooking.

"Dad, will we live here from now on?"

Tuantuan blinked her big eyes, curiously looking around the room, which was only the size of the Su family's toilet.

Lin Fan felt a pang of pain in his heart. He knelt down to tidy up the secondhand bedding he had just bought and said softly, "Does Tuantuan dislike how shabby this place is?"

"I don't mind!" Tuantuan shook her head vigorously, rolled around on the bed, and said with a grin, "As long as I'm with Daddy, I'm fine with anywhere! And there's even a little yard here where I can plant flowers!"

Seeing his daughter's sensible expression, Lin Fan's eyes welled up with tears.

He secretly vowed that this kind of life would not last long.

"Gurgle..."

An inappropriate sound came from Tuantuan's little belly again. The little girl blushed and covered her belly in embarrassment.

"Are you starving? Daddy will cook for you right away!"

Lin Fan rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the makeshift kitchen.

Although his home was bare, fortunately, on his way back, he used his remaining money to buy a set of pots, pans, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.

"System, extract ingredients," Lin Fan silently commanded in his mind.

[Ding! 2 jin of Xiangshui tribute rice has been collected!]

[Ding! 4 premium free-range eggs have been extracted!]

With a thought, a small bag of rice and a few eggs appeared out of thin air on the cutting board.

Upon seeing this, Lin Fan's eyes widened instantly.

The rice wasn't just ordinary white; it had a translucent texture like mutton fat jade. Each grain was plump and long, emitting a faint fragrance that was intoxicating even before it was cooked.

Those eggs had pinkish-red shells, and when held up to the light, they seemed to have a luster like flowing red agate inside.

"Is this the food produced by the system?" Lin Fan swallowed.

Remove the pot from the heat, boil water, and steam the rice.

Although it's fried rice with eggs, the rice itself is of extremely high quality.

The skills granted by the system allowed Lin Fan to instantly grasp the essence—leftover rice is good, but with god-level methods, freshly steamed rice, after special treatment, tastes even better!

Twenty minutes later.

The moment Lin Fan lifted the lid of the rice cooker, a rich, almost tangible aroma of rice instantly filled the small kitchen!

The aroma was incredibly overpowering, carrying the freshness of nature and the sweetness of grains, and it stubbornly slipped out through the cracks in doors and windows.

"Wow! It smells so good!"

Tuantuan, who was originally lying on the bed drawing, sniffed and, like a little gluttonous cat whose soul had been bewitched, ran barefoot to the kitchen door and tiptoed to look inside.

"Dad, what are you cooking? It smells even better than Pizza Hut!"

"This is just rice; it will be even more fragrant when it's stir-fried later." Lin Fan smiled indulgently.

Next, is the main event.

Heat the pan, then add cold oil.

Lin Fan's eyes instantly became incredibly focused, as if he had become a different person.

The iron pot in his hand seemed to have become his weapon.

"Snapped!"

With one hand, he cracked the eggs, and four eggs fell into the bowl. The chopsticks in Lin Fan's hand became a blur, and the egg mixture was instantly stirred until it was smooth and even, without a single bubble.

Heat the oil to 70% of its maximum temperature, then pour the egg mixture into the pan.

"Sizzle—!!"

The golden egg mixture puffed up and exploded in the hot oil, releasing a rich aroma of caramelized meat mixed with the fragrance of eggs!

Next, pour in the rice.

With a flick of his wrist, Lin Fan made the heavy old-fashioned iron pot feel as light as a feather in his hand.

Toss the wok!

The rice drew a perfect golden arc in the air, each grain leaping merrily under the lick of the flames.

Lin Fan precisely controlled the heat, ensuring that the egg mixture evenly coated every grain of rice – this is the legendary "gold-wrapped silver"!

There was no ham, no shrimp, and even the chopped green onions were just sprinkled on top as a garnish at the end.

The real, top-quality fried rice is all about the pure, natural flavors of rice and eggs!

At this moment.

Grandma Wang, who lives next door, is coaxing her two-year-old grandson to eat.

"My dear grandson, have a bite of this minced meat. Grandma has been stewing it all afternoon."

"I don't want to eat! Pfft—" The grandson slapped the spoon away.

Just then, an indescribable fragrance wafted in through the window.

Aunt Wang sniffed: "Whose cooking smells so good? It looks like... fried rice?"

The little grandson, who had been crying, suddenly stopped, sniffed the air for a while, pointed out the window and shouted:

"Grandma! I want to eat that! It smells so good!"

Not only at Grandma Wang's house, but throughout the entire courtyard, countless people were swallowing their saliva, peering out to find the source of the aroma.

……

inside the house.

Lin Fan turned off the heat and plated the food.

Two bowls of golden fried rice were placed on the slightly wobbly folding table.

Each grain of rice is distinct, coated in golden egg liquid, and glistens enticingly under the dim light, adorned with vibrant green scallions, making it resemble a work of art.

"Daddy, can I eat now?" Tuantuan gripped the edge of the table with both hands, drool glistening at the corners of her mouth, her eyes wide open.

"Eat up, but be careful, it's hot."

As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, Tuantuan couldn't wait to scoop out a big spoonful and put it in her mouth.

next second.

The little girl froze, her eyes widening instantly, as if she had been subjected to a tremendous shock.

"What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?" Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat, after all, it was his first time making it.

"Ugh! Ugh ugh ugh!"

Tuantuan didn't even have time to speak; her little head was bobbing frantically like she was pounding garlic, her cheeks puffed out like a little hamster's. After chewing and swallowing with all her might, she finally let out a satisfied exclamation:

"Wow!! This is so delicious! Dad, are you a god?!"

The little girl had never eaten anything so delicious before.

The rice was springy and chewy, and the egg was fresh and smooth. The umami flavor exploded on her tongue, making her feel like every pore on her body was relaxed.

In comparison, the fancy meals her mother used to take her to five-star hotels tasted like chewing wax!

Watching his daughter devour the rice, Lin Fan smiled with the satisfaction of a loving father, and took a bite himself.

The moment he stepped into the entrance, Lin Fan was stunned.

This... this really is something I made?

The exquisite taste and perfect seasoning made the fatigue from moving disappear quickly after eating it!

The system didn't lie to me!

Ten minutes later.

The father and daughter ate the two large bowls of fried rice clean, leaving the plates so shiny you could see your reflection in them.

Tuantuan leaned back in her chair, patted her round little belly, let out a satisfied burp, and looked blissfully happy.

"Dad, will we be able to eat such delicious meals every day from now on?"

"Of course, Dad wants to sell this food to even more people and make a lot of money to buy Tuantuan a big house!"

Lin Fan was clearing away the dishes, his eyes gleaming with confidence.

This skill is so good, it's not just for street vending, it's even good enough for state banquets!

"How much should a bowl cost?" Lin Fan pondered for a moment.

After all, it's a roadside stall, so the market price is only around ten yuan.

Although the fried rice tasted amazing, Lin Fan worried that if the price was too high, no one would buy it at first.

"How about... we sell twelve first?"

Just as Lin Fan hesitated, a cold system notification suddenly sounded in his mind:

[Ding! The "Xiangshui Tribute Rice" provided by this system is of the highest quality, specially supplied for state banquets, and the specially supplied "Premium Free-Range Eggs" are made from free-range chickens nourished by spiritual energy. Every grain of rice, every drop of oil, is of the highest quality in the world!]

[To maintain the prestigious image of "Gourmet Master," please do not underestimate yourself or attempt to undervalue the system's hard work!]

[System mandate: The price of the "Heartbreakingly Delicious" fried rice must not be lower than 50 yuan per bowl!]

"Fifty?!"

Lin Fan gasped.

At a roadside stall, a bowl of fried rice with only eggs and rice costs fifty yuan? If word got out, people would probably think I'm crazy, or even call me a heartless vendor.

But looking at the undeniable red text on the system panel, and recalling the exquisite taste just now, Lin Fan's concerns instantly vanished.

indeed.

Selling this divine delicacy for twelve yuan would be the greatest insult to it!

This bowl of rice, let alone fifty, even five hundred, would be a scramble for by those who truly know their stuff!

Since the system has spoken, then it's fifty!

Lin Fan clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"Setting up shop tomorrow!"
