"We don't cheat customers here. You get what you pay for. You'll know once you taste it!" The robot replied emotionlessly.
"Alright." Jake took out his phone to pay, then looked at the robot and said, "Make one for me now. I want to see what makes this fried chicken leg worth $198."
The robot remained silent and started taking out various ingredients from the refrigerator cabinet to make the fried chicken leg.
"What kind of chicken is that?" Jake's eyes were drawn to the chickens in the refrigerator.
This chicken didn't look much different from ordinary chickens, but its legs were quite different.
The legs were incredibly thick, twice as thick as a normal chicken's, especially the claws, which looked like a piece of steel that had been forged countless times.
Jake stared blankly. Could this chicken be the bodybuilder of the chicken world?
How else could the legs be so ridiculously thick?
"That's a secret." The robot replied while processing the ingredients.
He skillfully cut a chicken leg from the chicken in one swift motion, then quickly removed the claws and any remaining fluff.
Then, he used a metal needle to poke holes in it and spread a fragrant sauce over it.
"Then why is it so expensive?" Jake asked again.
The robot replied, "It's an extremely rare breed. "
"Difficult to raise. Even now, humans can't mass-produce it. The price is high, about $100 or more per pound."
"You use such high-end ingredients to fry a chicken leg?" Jake was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.
The robot nodded.
In the meantime, he had finished marinating the entire chicken leg, and the oil in the pot had been heated to boiling.
The robot turned the chicken leg in his hand, gently coating it with a layer of golden egg wash, then sprinkled on a thin and even layer of breadcrumbs.
The whole process was smooth and seamless, like a top painter completing a masterpiece.
"Are there any special ingredients ?" Jake asked.
"The oil is a special tribute used by the royal family."

"Every egg is carefully selected and of excellent quality!"
Jake clicked his tongue and couldn't help saying, "Really upscale."
He had never thought that a simple fried chicken leg could be so upscale. Not to mention that the ingredients were royal tributes, even the oil used for frying was a royal tribute!
Suddenly, Jake felt that $198 for this fried chicken leg was indeed a bit cheap!
"Your fried chicken leg is ready."
Ten minutes later, the robot packaged the fried chicken leg and handed it to Jake.
As Jake took it, an indescribable fragrance hit him, and he couldn't help but sniff.
Instantly, the fragrance went straight to his brain, and his brain felt like it was being electrocuted, tingling and intoxicated.
Jake's whole body stretched out, and the taste buds in his mouth went wild, secreting saliva like crazy, instantly flooding his tongue and entire mouth.
Jake swallowed hard and took a big bite.
"Crunch..."
The moment his lips and teeth touched the chicken leg, an incredibly crisp sound exploded.
Immediately afterward, his mouth was filled with a fragrance.
The fragrance had the fragrance of egg wash, the fragrance of oil, and the meaty aroma of the chicken itself.
The three fragrances mixed together, but they didn't interfere with each other. Instead, they were very distinct, causing waves of impact on Jake's taste buds.
First was the faint aroma of oil, which instantly made him feel refreshed, as if the fatigue of a day's work had been swept away at this moment.
Then came the fragrance of egg wash, which purified all the odors in the mouth, as if chewing one piece of gum after another, and breathing out the scent of mint.
The final meat aroma made all the taste buds immersed in a carnival, dancing in the mouth and secreting saliva tirelessly again and again!
Jake's eyes welled up, with a look of intoxication.
"This is so delicious!"
At this moment, he forgot all his fatigue and worries, and his body and mind were completely immersed in the food.
Jake's mouth couldn't stop, taking bite after bite, and unknowingly swallowed the entire fried chicken leg.
In the end, he didn't even leave a single piece of fried bits.
Jake licked the chicken bone again and again with a look of longing, and muttered, "Why is it gone in a few bites!"
"Give me another fried chicken leg!"
This time, Jake picked up his phone without hesitation and decisively scanned $198.
"Do you think our fried chicken leg is worth $198?" the robot asked.
Jake gave a thumbs up: "Worth it, absolutely worth it!"
"This is the best fried chicken leg I've ever had!"
"No, it's the best thing I've ever eaten. Wagyu barbecue, River crab, and Australian lobster can all step aside!"
"Don't say $198, even if it sells for $1998, I don't think it's too much!"
Jake's words came from the bottom of his heart.
The robot smiled slightly, and then began to prepare the next fried chicken leg.
He first cleaned all the kitchen utensils, even the oil in the fryer was poured into the sewer and cleaned inside and out.
Jake was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't the oil still very clean? Why did you pour it away?"
The robot replied without raising his head: "In order to ensure that the taste of the food is brought to the extreme, we will not use a pot of oil a second time."
The corners of Jake's mouth twitched!
As expected of the system!
As expected of a special facility!
So damn cool!
A pot of oil was used to fry a chicken leg and then poured away, and it was all royal tribute.
Such a waste of natural resources is simply outrageous!
Now he really felt that $198 for this fried chicken leg was really cheap!
An hour later.
Jake threw away the fried chicken leg in his hand and shouted at the robot fiercely, "Quick, give me another fried chicken leg! Make it faster, or I'll pull out your battery!"
This was the seventh fried chicken leg he had eaten.
Jake touched his bulging belly.
He never thought that he could become a glutton!
