“Even if I was a bandit, I’d be a bandit with a passion for scientific research and knowledge . ”
Rick was rendered speechless by her retort .
Rick had thought Lu Yan would use the half hour before the flight to get ready or arrange for work .
But it turned out she wanted to use this half hour for dinner .
When the mood struck her, Lu Yan was very picky with her food and sometimes even asked to see the materials first .
Whenever a novel idea struck her, her chefs would always have a difficult time .
She met Rick on his plantation in New Orleans in the U . S .
There were several chefs here but most of them were local people .
When Lu Yan ordered a Yangzhou fried rice, the chefs standing before her in a row all looked stupefied .
“Mr . Rick, Miss Lu Yan said she wanted egg fried rice, but our chefs can’t make it…” Rick’s subordinate reported to him .
“So?”
“So, Miss Lu Yan said if she couldn’t have Yangzhou fried rice in half an hour, she might feel moody and not want to go to Columbia . ”
“She’s so hard to please . ” Rick was exasperated .
“What shall we do now?”
“The nearest Chinese restaurant is 20 minutes away and it’ll take us 40 minutes to get the food back . So, I think we can ask Madame’s cook to make the dish . ”
Rick understood immediately .
He had been so busy that he had totally forgotten it .

When Xixi lived here, she didn’t like the western dishes . After she got pregnant, she especially missed Chinese food .
Rick searched for a long while and finally found a Chinese woman who had come to the States to take care of her child who was studying here .
The woman wasn’t a great chef, but her home-style cooking reminded Xixi of her hometown .
“Is Ms . Cui still here?” Rick asked his subordinate .
“Yeah, she is in Madame’s house . ”
“Ask her to come over and cook for Empress Lu . ”
Rick had no choice but to satisfy Lu Yan’s whimsical desires .
In fact, Lu Yan wasn’t doing it purposefully; her subordinates all knew her changeable tastes for food . One day she might want roast sweet potatoes and on the next day she’d want to eat spaghetti .
There were two chefs on her private staff to serve her both Chinese and western food .
Travelling with her, Qiao Fei enjoyed all kinds of great food, too .
Fifteen minutes later, Xixi’s cook Ms . Cui brought a plate of steaming egg fried rice to her .
“Miss, I made it; it might not be to your taste since I don’t have enough materials . Hearing that you have a plane to catch, I made a simple egg fried rice . It’s not the Yangzhou fried rice you asked . Please try it . ”
Mr . Cui didn’t know Lu Yan’s identity and thought she was a Chinese rich girl .
But Lu Yan liked this amiable woman .
“Thank you . Please sit down while I try it . ”
With a smile, Lu Yan pulled the plate over and put a spoonful into her mouth, chewing carefully .
She nodded and gulped down the whole plateful of rice in a minute .

“Ma’am, where did you buy the eggs?” Lu Yan asked .
“They were not bought . The parents of Mr . Rick’s wife mailed them to us; they are eggs from hens raised with natural feed . ”
“No wonder it’s delicious . Thank you, ma’am . ”
When Lu Yan was polite, she looked like a scholar .
“You’re welcome . I’m glad you like it . ”
Elegantly, Lu Yan drew out a paper handkerchief to wipe her lips; then she left a stack of something before Ms . Cui .
Her movement was so fast that Ms . Cui didn’t see what the thing was until Lu Yan was gone . It was a grand exit .
