Marvel: The Late Night Kitchen That's Popular Across the Multiverse

Eddie Brock is as disheveled as the wind.

He was originally waiting for an informant to give him information, but what he received instead was a hateful threat.

He had given up any hope of finding evidence to expose the truth, so he stayed in the Chinese restaurant to finish his manuscript because he felt it was safe there.

Unexpectedly, I got the evidence I needed unexpectedly.

What a dramatic night.

When the boss regained consciousness, he found himself driving alone far away from New York City, which made him feel anxious.

Trying hard to recall what had happened before, the big boss finally realized that he was being mentally controlled by Li Jie.

"What a difficult fellow!"

The big boss frowned, then revealed an evil smile.

"Jack, since we can't be friends, let's be enemies."

With that, the Big Boss set the car on its way back to New York City.

Inside the Chinese restaurant.

Tonight's guests came one after another. In addition to Doctor Octopus, there were also many guests from outside Manhattan.

By half past five there was not a single customer left in the Chinese restaurant.

So far, a total of ninety-nine servings of sweet and sour pork have been sold, and only one serving is left to reach the hundredth serving.

Do I have to wait until tomorrow to unlock new products?

Li Jie was considering buying one with his own money if that didn't work to make the number even.

It just takes the final step, and Li Jie wants to know what he will unlock.

"call."

A breeze suddenly appeared in the Chinese restaurant.

Li Jie and Peter Parker both looked back and saw a figure walking towards them from the direction of the bathroom.

"Hi, Jack."

Erica, dressed in tight clothes, came in from the back door, and it looked like she had just completed a mission.

Perhaps he was afraid of being discovered by Mrs. Gao's people, so he chose to enter the Chinese restaurant through the back door.

"Hey, Erica, I thought you had forgotten about me."

Li Jie teased.

"how could be?

You are my savior.

Besides, even if I can forget you, I can't forget the delicious food in the Chinese restaurant."

Erica responded and asked,

"I hope I'm not too late."

"The time is right, what would you like to eat?

If you like sweeter flavors, I recommend the sweet and sour pork tenderloin.”

Li Jie asked and gave a hint.

Erica glanced at the menu and said in surprise:

“I didn’t expect that I had only been away from the Chinese restaurant for a few days and there were already so many new dishes.

All right then, give me some sweet and sour pork first.

Also give me a portion of stinky tofu, I've been craving this for days."

"Sit down, it will be ready in a moment."

Li Jie asked Peter Parker to entertain Erica, while he went into the kitchen to cook.

After Erica paid the money, Li Jie also received system feedback.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully selling 100 servings of sweet and sour pork tenderloin and successfully unlocking a new product - white rice (tribute rice)."

White rice, is this to make up for the lack of white rice when eating sweet and sour pork?

And what they used was actually tribute rice.

This was the rice that only the emperor could eat in the past. It was the aristocrat among rices and was known as the best rice in the world.

When Li Jie thought that this was rice that only the emperor's children could eat, he already wanted to get a bowl to try.

"Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden reward and obtaining the upgraded version of Golden Fried Rice."

Li Jie took a look at the menu and found that there was an upgraded version of the golden fried rice.

Because the raw materials used were replaced with tribute rice, the price of the upgraded version became two hundred dollars per portion.

Let’s look at the price of white rice. A bowl costs as much as one hundred dollars.

Well, the gimmick alone of rice that only the emperor's children can eat is worth a hundred dollars.

When the stinky tofu was served, Erica couldn't wait to eat a piece, and then exclaimed:

“This is the taste, it’s really delicious.

God, I would have no regrets if I died now."

"You can't die, otherwise who will eat this sweet and sour pork tenderloin?"

Li Jie teased.

Erica immediately shouted: "Yes, I can't die.

If I were dead, how could I enjoy all the delicious food in the Chinese restaurant?"

A moment later, Li Jie personally brought the sweet and sour pork to Erica.

Erica took a bite and exclaimed excitedly:

“It seems that my choice to live is the right one.

This is so delicious too.

Jack, doesn't this come with rice?"

Peter Parker said: "There is no white rice in Chinese restaurants."

"There's none?

But it’s written on the menu.”

Erica pointed to the menu on the wall and said.

Peter Parker…

"Boss, has our Chinese restaurant started selling white rice separately?"

"yes.

Why, you don’t know?”

Li Jie asked back, leaving Peter Parker confused.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Peter Parker, but because every time the system adds new products, it will cause people in the restaurant to have "selective amnesia" and not remember whether the restaurant had it before or not.

"Does Gongmi refer to the rice that only the emperor can eat?"

Erica asked.

“Erica, you are really well-informed.

That’s right, this kind of rice was specially prepared for the emperor in the past and it tastes very good.

At a hundred dollars a copy, I’m losing money just to get publicity.”

Li Jie exclaimed.

"Then I'll have a bowl."

Erica said as she took out a hundred dollars.

Li Jie went to the kitchen and got a bowl of tribute rice. Just smelling the faint rice aroma made people salivate.

After a little hesitation, Li Jie ordered two more bowls.

One bowl for myself and one bowl for Peter Parker.

Different from ordinary rice, the steamed tribute rice is plump and crystal clear, just like a processed work of art.

Just by placing it there, it has a natural sense of nobility.

Coupled with the light rice aroma, it is an irresistible temptation to people's taste buds.

Li Jie picked up a piece of rice with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He seemed to see endless rice fields, shining golden under the sun.

This is the granary of the world.

With this granary alliance,...

For a moment, Li Jie felt like he was wearing a dragon robe, enjoying the fragrant rice in a golden bowl.

Li Jie immediately came to his senses and looked at the expressions of Erica and Peter Parker.

I realized that I was not hallucinating just now, but the hidden properties of this bowl of tribute rice came into play.

It can give people a feeling of reaching the pinnacle and being the best.

It is worthy of being the rice that only the emperor’s children could eat in the past. It is truly magical.

After Peter Parker came to his senses, he took a deep breath and then shoveled rice into his mouth in big mouthfuls.

There is no need for any dishes to go with it, just eating this bowl of white rice is enough.

Erica ate a mouthful of rice with the pork tenderloin in vinegar and got an unexpected surprise.

The collision and fusion of the two delicacies created a new ultimate delicacy.

Peter Parker finished all the rice in the bowl in one breath, then took a grain of rice stuck to the corner of his mouth and put it into his mouth, then he breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
