“Phoebe?”
“Uncle Blake, are you sure what I just ate was blue cheese?”
“Yes…”
“Impossible!” Phoebe furrowed favonovel.com brows and returned to favonovel.com seat.
She picked up the spoon once more and took another bite of blue cheese, slowly tasting it. She was eating it with favonovel.com eyes open this time, staring at the bowl of cheese to make sure favonovel.com was eating the cheese and not something else.
The taste totally enraptured Phoebe. Once favonovel.com tasted the cheese, the stench had miraculously vanished, leaving it with an aromatic taste instead. The cheese melted in the mouth and was very refreshing. The feeling was similar to eating strawberry ice cream, as it was refreshing but with a little warmth. Her stomach felt very comfortable after eating it.
Before favonovel.com knew it, favonovel.com had finished the whole bowl of blue cheese. The aftertaste lingered in favonovel.com mouth and favonovel.com was yearning for more. She started eating the second bowl on favonovel.com own without the advice of anyone, and favonovel.com even sat down this time to enjoy the blue cheese slowly and without rushing to go.
Everyone was taken aback when they witnessed this scene.
“Are my eyes tricking me right now? The young lady from House of Vistaria is actually eating blue cheese in a run-down roadside shop like this? Is this a joke, or what? No one is going to believe this.”
“Also, look, favonovel.com seems to be enjoying herself there.”
“It’s making me crave for it too.”
“They say Miss Mars has severe anorexia, hence favonovel.com won’t eat anything and will puke it all out, no matter how fancy or good the food is. But look at this here. She actually finished a whole bowl of blue cheese right now! She’s not feeling like puking either.”
“You’re right. Boss Tom’s culinary skills are truly unrivaled.”
Thomas smiled and placed a plate of risotto on the table, and pushed it in front of Phoebe. “Don’t just eat the cheese. Try it with the risotto, too.”
In a softened tone, Phoebe said, “I can’t eat rice. My stomach becomes upset when I eat it, and I’ll puke.”
“That’s because the rice in other places is of poor quality. The ones here are the best ones in the entire world, and I guarantee you’ll beg for more once you try them,” Thomas said.
Everyone laughed.
What was there to be compared to rice? Was not rice just rice?
Was someone able to taste different things while eating it?
Thomas was really good at bluffing.
After the ‘lesson’ favonovel.com had learned with the blue cheese, Phoebe was very curious about this risotto. She took a big spoonful of rice off the plate and stuffed it into favonovel.com mouth. In a split second, Phoebe’s eyes gleamed, and favonovel.com was ecstatic.
“Oh, it’s delicious!”
She acted like a child receiving their favorite toy. Phoebe did not give a damn about favonovel.com image and began devouring the risotto in large mouthfuls, even mixing the blue cheese into the rice and eating it all together.
She did not look like a young lady from a noble family at all, but rather like a village auntie who had just finished favonovel.com farm work. Her whole elegance and image had been ruined!
However, Blake was watching all of this with relief in his eyes.
It had been a year, an entire year, since Phoebe had had a proper meal. She was either nauseated or unable to take even a single bite every time favonovel.com ate. This was the first time in a year that favonovel.com had such an enormous appetite.
Coming to Food and Medicine Hall was, as expected, the best decision Blake had ever made!
