Ti turns back to 7:20.
It must be said, Jingyi was especially favored by the goddess of luck this morning to be fortunate enough to beco the lucky patron of the Delicious Restaurant.
Honestly, she also really likes eating sesa dumplings.
It’s just a pity...
At ho, her mother’s cooking skills in this area are just so-so.
Especially when it cos to making pastries and desserts, she has no talent whatsoever.
Failures happen repeatedly!
Since her father left, she hasn’t had the pleasure of enjoying delicious sesa dumplings.
And the sesa dumplings sold at those restaurants outside have a hit-or-miss taste, and just a few can make one feel overwhelmingly full.
In short, she hasn’t been able to eat sesa dumplings that satisfy her for many years.
So, on holidays like Winter Solstice and Lantern Festival when eating dumplings is a must, she can only make do by going to the supermarket to buy small packs of frozen dumplings to complete these festive rituals.
Lately, upon learning that the Delicious Restaurant also released a new breakfast item... sesa dumplings, her long-dormant heart for sesa dumplings once again surged with excitent.
Thinking that anything from the Delicious Restaurant must be delicious.
She couldn’t help but look forward to it.
It was just that for the past two mornings, she went late and wasn’t lucky enough to buy a portion of sesa dumplings to taste.
This made her quite obsessed!
So...
This morning, she got up defiantly before 5 o’clock, quickly freshened up, and imdiately went to the Delicious Restaurant to queue, successfully buying sesa dumplings and a small portion of complintary fried dumplings.
On the way back to the station, facing the cold wind, it was always a bit chilly, even when wearing a thick down jacket and wool scarf, it still felt a bit chilly in the face of the cold wind.
She couldn’t help but hold the takeout box of sesa dumplings in her hands, warming them while she popped a still warm fried dumpling into her mouth and took a bite.
Actually, the fried dumplings from small street stalls are better; the ones made in restaurants always seem sowhat disappointing in taste, lacking sothing.
But if the fried dumplings are labeled "Delicious Restaurant," it inexplicably raises expectations.
Especially with this golden color, it looks quite tempting.
The fresh, sweet, dense sesa slowly flowed out from the crispy and tender dumpling, dripping onto her tongue.
Exceptionally soothing in its warmth!
The next second, the crispy outer layer blended with the chewier, bouncier glutinous rice, the sweetness just right without feeling sticky.
It left her wanting more.
"The taste is really good! This ti I really hit the jackpot!"
Jingyi couldn’t help but exclaim, as she took several more bites, devouring the fried dumplings in her mouth like a whirlwind.
However, after one was in her stomach, she still wanted more~
But the coldness that had been on her body was dispelled, she felt much warr, and her mood was lifted.
She took out her phone to take a picture.
Then opened WeChat to share it with her mother.
Ever since her mother beca infatuated with Delicious Restaurant’s food, she basically goes there for lunch every day.
It’s said that these days, she’s been going with a friend from the sa village, Ding Shujuan.
It’s also said that Ding Shujuan signed her up for a choir.
The two of them have arranged to go to the choir to sing together.
Afterward, they’d go to the Delicious Restaurant for a al.
This leisurely life is quite enjoyable!
This has also spared Jingyi from her mother’s endless calls.
And it has given the leaders at the station so peace for a while.
Even the two directors and her ntor were not accustod to this sudden silence and even "missed" her mom’s "greeting" calls, wondering if sothing had happened to her mom? Why have things been so quiet these days, not even a call to "greet" them?
Her ntor and director Wang Zhiheng even inquired privately about her mom’s recent situation.
They even said, if there’s any difficulty at ho, just let them know, and the station will do their utmost to help.
When she said that her family was fine, Mr. Wang couldn’t help but inquire about her mom’s health.
This series of concerns left her sowhat speechless yet amused.
In the end, when she told them her mom was busy attending choir and queuing for als at Delicious Restaurant, Mr. Wang still couldn’t quite believe what he heard.
There’s a sense that the Xu Jiaohong described by Jingyi was not the one he knew.
How could the Xu Jiaohong who would rather spend every day revolving around her daughter suddenly change like this?
Recalling the last ti Xu Jiaohong brought a bag of Delicious Restaurant’s takeout to the station to eat lunch with Jingyi, his world went silent as well.
In other words, Xu Jiaohong was conquered by the food made by Boss Huang and beca enamored with it, occupied with queuing, without ti to overthink or obsess over things.
Wang Zhiheng thinks this is quite good.
At least it pulls her out of a state of self-imposed seclusion.
Moreover, it can broaden her social circle, and she can beco more cheerful.
When Jingyi and her mom are at ho, they often share what they ate at the Delicious Restaurant, how it tasted, how delicious it was, and so on, making their bond closer than before.
The atmosphere at ho has beco much more harmonious and warm, not as oppressive as it used to be.
[Jingyi]: Hehe, Mom, I bought sesa rice balls from Delicious Restaurant this morning and got a small serving of fried rice balls as a special promotion! I just ate one on the way, and it’s absolutely delicious, crispy on the outside and tender inside, sweet and sticky, with rich layers. The sesa filling is also very fragrant. You can tell they used top-quality sesa seeds just by tasting it.
[Jingyi]: Photo.jpg.
Her mom didn’t reply imdiately.
She didn’t mind and put her phone back in her pocket, quickly heading to the West City Police Station.
It wasn’t until she arrived at the station that she received a WeChat reply from her mom.
[Mother]: The color looks so delicious! I heard they only gave out 50 portions of fried rice balls this morning, and you actually got one. But you little rascal, you didn’t buy one for (knock knock knock.jpg).
Ge Jingyi: "..."
Seeing this, she quickly replied:
[Jingyi]: Mom, the server at the store said they should have fried rice balls for sale tomorrow morning. I’ll buy you a portion then.
[Mother]: Alright, it’s the thought that counts. I have to get ready to go out now, you be careful on your way.
Ge Jingyi smiled and put away her phone.
Sitting at a long table in the office, she started enjoying the sesa rice balls.
Hmm, soft, sticky, and sweet.
Delicious!
Colleagues started arriving at the office one by one.
A female colleague saw her eating and greeted her in surprise, "Hey, Jingyi, you brought breakfast today too?"
Ge Jingyi looked up at the sound and smiled, "Yeah, I went to Delicious Restaurant this morning and brought back so breakfast."
Her female colleague was surprised and then laughed, "What a coincidence! Jingyi, I also went to Delicious Restaurant this morning and packed so breakfast."
As she stood there, she glanced down to see the takeout box on Ge Jingyi’s table with the sesa rice balls and a fried rice ball inside.
How should I put it?
That fried rice ball looked just like the ones in the photos on Delicious Restaurant’s official Twitter account.
And the little paper box holding the fried rice ball also had the Delicious Restaurant logo.
So, Ge Jingyi bought sesa rice balls and got a complintary fried rice ball?!
OMG~
This was the fried rice ball I couldn’t get, wasn’t it???
Thinking about how she got up early specifically to go to Delicious Restaurant for breakfast, yet still didn’t manage to snag a sesa rice ball nor get a complintary fried rice ball.
She looked helpless and said, "Actually, I wanted to buy sesa rice balls this morning too, but unfortunately, Delicious Restaurant is just too popular. By the ti I got there, they were all sold out, let alone the free fried rice balls, I didn’t even catch a glimpse of them. In the end, I bought eight-treasure porridge and three fresh vegetarian fried dumplings."
Okay, then!
Actually, those fried dumplings and eight-treasure porridge were also what she couldn’t get in the previous days.
But in contrast, her heart still felt a bit imbalanced.
She reluctantly glanced again at the sesa rice balls and fried rice ball on Ge Jingyi’s desk, those plump and tender sesa rice balls looked really tempting, ah, and those golden fried rice balls, so appetizing.
The female colleague sat down at her own desk, opening her food bag.
Ge Jingyi lowered her head and continued eating the sesa rice balls, savoring the flavors on her tongue, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: Who’d have thought that even her colleague wasn’t lucky enough to get the complintary fried rice balls!
Thinking this way, the sesa rice balls and fried rice balls on the table slled even better, and she ate with enthusiasm.
The female colleague sipped her eight-treasure porridge and ate her three fresh vegetarian fried dumplings, which also tasted quite good.
While eating, she took out her phone and scrolled through Twitter.
Seeing many netizens wailing on Delicious Restaurant’s official account about not being lucky enough to get the complintary fried rice balls made her feel slightly less bad.
At least she still had her eight-treasure porridge and three fresh vegetarian fried dumplings!
But still!
People, by nature, are never satisfied.
Especially when she set down her phone to focus on her al and the aroma of glutinous rice and sweet sesa kept wafting over from the next table...
Her envious and unbalanced feelings surged again.
Thus, she wretchedly picked up her phone and frantically ssaged her boyfriend:
[I am a fairy]: Ahhhh, I’m so mad! I went early in the morning to queue at Delicious Restaurant to buy breakfast because I heard they had a promotion giving out fried rice balls, but unfortunately, I was late, the sesa rice balls were sold out! Sold out!!! And I didn’t get the freebie either.
[I am a fairy]: And one of my female colleagues, not only did she buy sesa rice balls, she also got a complintary fried rice ball.
[I am a fairy]: Boohoohoo, I want to eat sesa rice balls, I also want to eat fried rice balls, I can’t resist ahhhhh.....
She then sent several more "ah"s over.
Her boyfriend on the other end, probably startled by his girlfriend’s crazy bombardnt, imdiately sent an emoji: a hug and kiss showing comfort to the fairy.jpg
[Piggy Raising Little Fairy]: Baby, don’t worry, tomorrow morning Delicious Restaurant will officially launch the fried rice balls, I will go queue for you at 5 AM to make sure I get you the fried rice balls, and the sesa rice balls too.
[Piggy Raising Little Fairy]: Don’t worry, I promise to complete the mission for you, (salute).jpg.
The female colleague, seeing this, finally felt her mood slightly improve.
Ah!
If only they were selling them during lunch.
Then she could try them sooner.
