My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 100: One Hundred Chapters of the Person Singled Out by Misfortune

Chen Ze really wanted to put his hands on his hips and reply to the question with a stern face.

"What’s so strange about oolong tea being flammable?" Chen Ze especially wanted to say that.

But perhaps because Chen Ze was still a rather introverted person, in the end, he could only watch helplessly as Betty smugly placed that cup of "oolong tea" on the outside dining table.

Chen Ze’s mouth twitched, and he became more certain that Betty, that little bastard, had definitely sneaked a peek at his anime on the second floor.

Chen Ze shook his head with resignation and looked back again. His oil was already hot, and the fish head had been steaming for 15 minutes.

Chen Ze felt a bit excited as he brought out the chopped chili fish head, looking forward to the final step. All he had to do was pour the hot oil in, and the chopped chili fish head, this famous Hunan cuisine dish, would be complete.

Then Chen Ze heard the sound of wind chimes and a familiar voice.

"Eh? Isn’t anyone here today?" Liu Maoxing looked around curiously as he didn’t see the woman dressed as a maid.

Chen Ze poured the oil down, and a burst of fresh fragrance instantly hit the nose.

[You have made a normal chopped chili fish head, Huaxia Cuisine experience has increased by 5 points.]

"Oh ho! Chopped chili fish head?" Liu Maoxing also smelled the unique aroma and curiously poked his head in to take a peek.

"Liu Maoxing, would you like to try?" Chen Ze saw that Liu Maoxing seemed excited. This man was a top-level chef.

And the food he made even glowed, while he also moonlighted as a psychologist, something Chen Ze was always envious and jealous of.

"I wonder how your skills as the Medicine King compare?" Chen Ze greeted Liu Maoxing while pondering this question.

As the protagonist in Food Wars, Chen Ze had a very deep impression of the dishes made by the Medicine King, those that would make you burst out of your clothes and experience hallucinations. Chen Ze felt he would never be able to make such dishes in his life.

Chen Ze used to think about this, but back then it was all just himself enjoying the thought. But now things were different—there was already a young chef standing here, so the Medicine King was probably not too far away.

"Can I try it?" Liu Maoxing seemed interested. Although he was a chef, Liu Maoxing was particularly passionate about cooking.

Chen Ze smiled and took the chopped chili fish head out, then returned to the kitchen to serve more food to Liu Maoxing, as Betty hadn’t come downstairs yet.

"It smells so good... What’s this? A drink?" Liu Maoxing picked up the oolong tea next to him, puzzled. This thing looked a bit like tea.

Chen Ze’s expression froze. He was so happy just now that he did not realize the "oolong tea" Betty took out was still there.

"Liu Maoxing! Don’t..." Chen Ze rushed out quickly, wanting to prevent this from happening, as heaven only knows if a top-tier chef could still perform at his level when drunk.

Chen Ze felt that if he drank that kind of alcohol, he would probably black out immediately and end up being rushed to the hospital for resuscitation.

"Oolong tea" was truly that fearsome.

But obviously, Chen Ze was too late. By the time he rushed out, Liu Maoxing had already taken a big gulp.

Even though he realized something was wrong as soon as he drank it, he had still taken a big gulp.

Chen Ze’s mouth twitched, and then he saw Liu Maoxing’s face turn visibly red at an alarming rate.

"Burp... What is this..." Liu Maoxing shook his head wobbily, his eyes looking very dazed. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Chen Ze was at his wits’ end. He had hoped Liu Maoxing’s rare visit would give him the chance to learn cooking from him, witness the creation of a glowing dish, but clearly, that plan was not going to happen today.

Chen Ze could only helplessly cover the already slumped and sleeping Liu Maoxing with a blanket, waiting to move him upstairs later with Betty’s help.

"Manager? You’re into this sort of thing?" Betty asked in surprise as she looked at Chen Ze.

"...What did you see?" Chen Ze was speechless; he was just covering Liu Maoxing with a blanket, what about it?

"I don’t know anything; I just came down and saw the manager sleeping with a guest."

Chen Ze took a deep breath; he felt that today was a day of misfortunes, and moreover, Betty must have secretly watched his collection of comedy films again.

"Stop talking nonsense, come over and help me carry him up, he probably won’t wake up today." Chen Ze had just tried by himself and found that a drunk person was indeed dead weight.

Although Chen Ze alone could also take Liu Maoxing upstairs, it would be quite troublesome and very tiring.

After Liu Maoxing was taken upstairs, Chen Ze and Betty sat down in the restaurant for the staff meal, naturally featuring spicy fish head and braised pork as the main courses.

However, before they had eaten for a while, the Wind Chime rang again.

Chen Ze hastily swallowed his food; he hadn’t expected today’s customers to arrive so quickly.

Betty also quickly wiped her mouth and stood up; she needed to go greet the guests.

The door was pushed open by a little blonde girl wearing tattered clothes, with no shoes on, and her little feet covered in numerous tiny cuts.

"Welcome to the Dream Restaurant—guest," Betty said with a very kind smile, looking at the little girl in front of her.

This little girl reminded Betty of Elena, with her tattered clothes, barefoot, and filthy appearance.

The little girl glanced at Betty, then quickly turned her head, seemingly wanting to open the door and run away.

Chen Ze was puzzled because the little girl’s gaze didn’t seem to be one of fear, but rather worried and... numb?

Chen Ze wondered if he had seen wrong; it’s normal for a human little girl to be afraid of a succubus, but why would she be worried about Betty?

Betty was also hesitant; she could feel that the girl had no ill will, she was simply worried for her.

"Guest, are you..." Betty reached out her hand, then felt her foot twist as she took a step forward, sending her tumbling to the ground.

And the menu in Betty’s hand flew onto the shelf beside the door, hitting a vase on it, which fell, perfectly positioned to hit the little girl’s head.

All this happened very quickly, so quickly that Chen Ze hadn’t even reacted, but the next second, a gentle purple light enveloped both Betty and the vase, suspending them in the air.

Betty looked at this scene in amazement; she had seen firsthand that this series of accidents was ultimately going to cost the little girl her life.

The little girl looked up in astonishment at the vase floating above her head, but then the panic in her eyes intensified.

As Chen Ze was about to say something, the door opened again, and a familiar troll flew in, followed by a blazing fireball that flew directly towards the little girl.

"Wang Defa?" Chen Ze was dumbfounded.
