Chapter 218 Rare Delicacy?
"Yeah, I saw her reading books last night," Fein said nonchalantly as he squeezed the tomato sauce he made into the plain noodles in a container. Yes, he's recreating spaghetti!
Fein supported his sister, although he didn't really see her study last night.
"Hmmm... Well, can't you study a little earlier?" Melissa sighed, "You have to learn how to manage your time."
Fey nodded and looked at her brother helplessly, asking for help. Fein shrugged with a wary smile and gave her a look. 'Sorry, I can't help you further.'
But as if thinking of something. He picked up the Spaghetti in his hand and brought it to the table for the two of them to see. The smell of tomato sauce wafted in the room, and this caught Melissa's attention.
She turned her head at the source, only to see a weird dish on the table. "What is that?" she asked. She stood up on the table and went beside it.
'Diversion mission success!' Fein winked at his sister. Fey smiled and gave her brother a thumbs-up secretly behind their mother's back.
"That's called spaghetti," Fein smiled.
Melissa took the fork on the plate in her hand. As she was about to eat a mouthful of Spaghetti, her son stopped her.
"Don't!"
Melissa shifted her gaze to her son with a weird expression and asked, "Why? I just want to taste it. It's the first time I saw this food."
"There's no problem. But to eat this particular food, you have to mix the noodles with the sauces first." Fein immediately took the plate from her mother's hand and started to mix the sauce and spaghetti noodles properly.
Fey suddenly appeared on the left side of Melissa and looked at the two with curiosity. "Say... What's the occasion?"
"It's just a celebration," Fein answered. He placed what of his finger in front of his mouth and made a zipping gesture at her.
'Oh...' Fey looked at her brother blankly. 'Is this celebration for my promotion?' As she thought of this. She gave her brother a look of understanding.
"Done. Come, taste this!" Fein paused, then he smiled and said, "But before that, let me teach you how to eat this thing!"
"Huh? there's still a proper way of eating that?" Melissa became speechless. And looked at the red tomato sauce mixed with the noodles.
"Of course."
Fein picked up the fork in her right hand. Then, using the fork, he pierced the noodles and twirled them. He made sure that no noodles were dangling on his fork. "See." Fein smiled and pushed the fork into his mouth.
The long-lost familiar flavor came to him at this time. In his past life, her mother would cook spaghetti for them during Christmas. Sometimes, he would also eat them in fast-foods.
Just like that, he started to chew the noodles in his mouth. The taste of tomato with a certain hint of sweetness stimulated his dopamine. The cheese and hotdog that he made from the meat of beasts made the Spaghetti ten times more delicious than the one on Earth!
Seeing the bliss after Fein ate the Spaghetti, the pair of mother and daughter swallowed their saliva subconsciously and made a gulping sound.
"Haha!" Fein laughed when he saw their reactions. He pushed the plate in front of them. "Here."
Melissa held the plate, walked to the table, and gestured to Fey with her eyes. Fey nodded. She sat on the right side of Melissa, with her eyes fixed on the Spaghetti.
Melissa and Fey held the fork in their hands, imitated what Fein did, and twirled the Spaghetti noodles in a circular motion. Then the two opened their mouths and welcomed the fork.
Because Fein didn't want to have the common problem of 'Not enough cheese', he especially gave it a lot of cheese that could last an entire person's lifetime.
Kidding aside, the cheesy flavor and the softness of the noodles filled the hearts of the two with joy. In this world, the recipes and food weren't as advanced and as refined as those in the modern era of Earth.
If earthling just treats the Spaghetti as 'Not special'. In this world, when the food industry was still in the process of development. People would literally treat it as a rare delicacy!
Just like that, the speed of their hands increase and the fork went back n' forth in their respective mouth.
"Chill, they won't rob your food." Fein chuckled.
As if finding it reasonable, Melissa's hand slowed down a little. She looked at his son with stars in her eyes and praised him. "Good food! If you put this dish on a menu in any restaurant, the people would surely flock to the restaurant in no time." She sighed and felt happy that she didn't have to worry about her son's future now.
With his son's skills, if he ever wants to get rich, he could just open a restaurant and cook!
"Do you want to open a restaurant?" Melissa stared at Fein with expectations. "Don't worry, your mother had saved enough. I will help you with the starting capital you needed."

Fein turned his head at his mother in disbelief. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Fey covered her mouth using both of her hands to hold back her laugh.
"I'm already satisfied with my work now." Fein shook his head without hesitation. Who's he joking with? He doesn't have the time to cook for other people in exchange for money. Money is the least problem for him now.
Just the income that he gets with the sales of his advance potion in the QWERTY organization was enough to support several families for a lifetime!
"What a pity." Melissa sighed disappointedly. "Well, if you change your mind about the future, just talk to me. I'll always save the money for you."
"Mom, you are too partial with brother." Fey couldn't help but complain.
Hearing her mother's words, the already hardened Fein, even with his strong psychological quality, felt moved. Even now that he was an adult, his mother still thinks of his future.
AGHH! Fey shoved the glass in her mouth.
"Hahaha!" Fein and Melissa laughed and looked at Fey, who got choked after she kept talking with food in her mouth.
