Chapter 210 The Bet
Brittany was struck by an idea at Daniel's words. "How about we make a bet? If the scrambled eggsyou cook are so good that I eat five plates, then I lose. But if I don’t eat five plates, you lose."
Daniel knew Brittany was trying to set him up, but he didn’t mind and asked with a grin, "Since it’s abet, there should be stakes, right?"
Hooked, Brittany quickly laid out her terms. "Whoever loses has to agree to do one thing the winnersays, no matter what it is."
"Okay!" Daniel agreed readily.
As they prepared to wager, Amelia quickly intervened. "If you two want to bet, take it home! Daniel,come into the kitchen and teach me how to cook this lobster."
Without further ado, Amelia dragged Daniel into the kitchen.
Upon entering, Daniel was amazed. This was no ordinary roadside establishment’s kitchen—it waspristine, far cleaner than many home kitchens.
Brittany followed them in, arms crossed, glaring at Daniel derisively. "Country boy, go on, show uswhat you've got! I want to see if you can actually cook lobster. Just don’t hurt yourself trying to kill it,okay?"
Brittany couldn't believe that this country boy could cook. In her eyes, Daniel was simply useless ateverything.
Daniel took up a spoon in his right hand and a pan in his left, starting to work on the lobster. Hismovements were swift, and soon he had a plate of seemingly delicious lobster ready. The aromaalone was appetizing.
Amelia didn’t care about the heat as she snipped off a leg and tasted the flavor right off the shell."This is so delicious! Even the taste on the shell is much better than what I just made!"
Watching Amelia praise Daniel's lobster dish, Brittany felt a twinge of annoyance. So, in her typicalfashion, she scoffed. "As if this country bumpkin could make tasty lobster—it’s probably just theseasoning on the shell that’s good. The meat itself is bound to be tough and chewy. If you don’tbelieve me, cousin, you should try it yourself."
Brittany refused to accept that the lobster prepared by a country boy could taste better thanAmelia’s, whom she adored. Every time she visited Amelia’s restaurant, lobster was her go-to dish—even if she was dining alone, she could finish an entire four- or five-pound lobster.
Amelia carefully extracted the lobster meat, which appeared white and springy. She took a bite, firstsavoring the perfect blend of seasonings that created a robust flavor burst, and then the delicioussucculence of the meat.
It was incredibly delicious—the texture of the lobster was outstanding, and Daniel’s cooking wasbeyond words.
Seeing Amelia’s eyes widen with an exaggerated expression on her face, Brittany instinctivelyassumed the lobster must be horrible. And so, she let out a disdainful laugh.
"Heh!"
