Chapter 114: Chapter 6: It’s Normal to Sell Body Tissues to Pay Off Debts When You Have No Money, Right?
"No, it’s said..." Alisa’s expression was a bit subtle.
"It’s said that a Red Dragon who couldn’t pay off its debts specially cut off its own flesh to sell in order to raise funds," Alisa’s face grew even stranger.
That is a Dragon, after all, a top-tier species with the strength of the eighth rank as long as it’s mature. According to rumors, every Dragon possesses a mountain of treasures.
Chen Ze’s mouth twitched; it was indeed the first time he had heard of such a Dragon, unable to repay debts and forced to cut flesh to do so?
"You people from another world sure know how to play," Chen Ze was shocked. So there were such practices in another world too. It seemed that the Dragon must definitely be male, otherwise...
Possibly, Chen Ze could discuss with Betty whether there were such things as seeds and license plates in the otherworld.
"So, Manager, are you interested? According to the Appraiser’s report, the Red Dragon meat has abundant Magic Power and can also replenish vitality, and the taste is quite good too," Alisa herself wasn’t planning to attend because although she had the means, she still had to grow her own business guild.
"This..." Chen Ze was somewhat tempted. There has always been the saying in Huaxia about the dragon meat in the heavens, and the delicacies of dragon liver and phoenix marrow.
Although no one since ancient times has eaten dragon meat, and Chen Ze believed he hadn’t either, now that there was an opportunity to try Western Dragon meat, he wouldn’t mind giving it a try.
However, Chen Ze didn’t have many Gold Coins left and still needed to save some to pay Betty’s wages.
"Take a look at this; how much can this gemstone sell for?" Chen Ze pulled out a gemstone from his kitchen, which he had received as a meal payment before.
"This... I estimate it could sell for a bit over 5000 Gold Coins," Alisa touched it and gave a rough estimate.
"How much Dragon Meat can 5000 Gold Coins buy?" freewebnovёl.ƈom
"Since this is the first time Dragon Meat is being officially sold, the market price is estimated at 10,000 Gold Coins per unit," Alisa explained.
"10,000 Gold Coins? So I can only buy half a unit?" Chen Ze learned before that one unit was about 900 grams on Earth.
"Yes, but the price might go up even more if nobles join the competition," Alisa was not very optimistic about the gemstone Chen Ze had brought out.
"Then what do you estimate, if I want to secure a unit of Dragon Meat, roughly how many Gold Coins would it take?" Chen Ze stroked his chin.
"Probably around 6000 to 7000 Gold Coins," Alisa estimated for a while and gave a price range.
Chen Ze shrugged his shoulders; that was the only gemstone he had.
"Then just buy casually, however much I can buy," Chen Ze sighed. It seemed he was not fated for the Dragon Meat.
"All right," Alisa nodded.
"I’ll get you steamed buns with thin skin," Chen Ze went back to the kitchen, took out three steamed buns with traditional fillings, none of them containing Gubur cattle beef.
"No need for the meal payment this time, please help me buy the Dragon Meat," Chen Ze handed the takeout box to Alisa.
"Don’t worry, Manager, do you want me to bid for a unit for you? You can pay me back next time," Alisa asked.
"Hmm... yes, please go ahead with that," a unit of Dragon Meat was ideal; less and Chen Ze would be reluctant to use it for culinary research.
"See you next time," Alisa smiled, pushed the door, and walked out.
"She’s more and more like a powerful businesswoman," Chen Ze marveled. Alisa now seemed like a strong woman in the business field, unlike when she first arrived, a fragile-looking girl.
Chen Ze collected the bowls, pondering over a question; he wondered whether or not to set up a staff lounge on the second floor. Otherwise, opening the restaurant every day without Betty was somewhat troublesome.
"Forget it, given Betty’s temperament, if she really moves in, who knows what could happen." Chen Ze remembered the agony he felt last night when he took out his Switch to play a game, only to find his save file overwritten. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Who knows how Betty managed to dig out the Switch—Chen Ze had hidden it well.
As Chen Ze was washing dishes and contemplating whether to dock Betty’s wages, suddenly he heard the sound of wind chimes.
"Quite a few customers today." Chen Ze wiped his hands and walked out.
"Sebastian? Riesel!" Chen Ze was surprised and delighted to see the two dragons in front of him, both of whom were old friends.
"Long time no see, manager," Sebastian said, grinning so wide he couldn’t close his mouth.
Riesel didn’t seem to be in a good mood, his expression gloomy.
"Manager, I’ll have a hotpot," Riesel said, still so fond of hotpot.
"I want ten servings of light cheesecake, ten Paludas, twenty servings of braised pork rice, any new dishes to recommend?" Sebastian swallowed, he hadn’t eaten at Chen Ze’s for a long time.
"Alright, as for the recommendations..." Chen Ze was about to recommend his crispy-skinned steamed buns when he saw a petite woman jump out from behind Sebastian.
She was a brown-haired girl, small indeed, but that was only in comparison with Sebastian. Next to Chen Ze, the girl was as tall as he was.
Then Chen Ze noticed that she also had vertical pupils and a delicate tail.
Chen Ze quickly figured out her identity—Riesel’s girlfriend, or should it be said... mother dragon?
After all, her tail and Riesel’s tail were entwined, although Chen Ze could tell Riesel was reluctant, his tail continuously moving, trying to shake off the smaller tail.
Looking at Sebastian’s mischievous grin, Chen Ze understood—this was Riesel’s Sprite Dragon girlfriend.
"Riesel, is this the Miraculous Restaurant you told me about?" The Sprite Dragon’s voice was very pleasant, ethereal, with an air of an older sister.
"Ah, yes, Karelina," Riesel rolled his eyes.
"Wow, this place is truly amazing, immense magic power that would despair a dragon, enigmatic and mysterious magic circles, the owner must be a powerful mage," Karelina exclaimed.
Chen Ze scratched his head awkwardly. Mage? If being a bachelor for 26 years counted, maybe that did make him a magician...
"Riesel, I recommend the Magical Mapo Tofu and the crispy-skinned buns. Would you like to try them?" Chen Ze’s best dish these days was the Magical Mapo Tofu.
"Magical Mapo Tofu? One for each dragon, please," Sebastian licked his lips, the dish sounded delicious.
"Okay, please wait a moment," Chen Ze tied on his headscarf and headed toward the kitchen.
"Riesel, what do you plan to do about the issue with Erin Avril?" Sebastian raised another question.
"After all, that bastard has completely disgraced our Dragon Clan. There’s never been a dragon in the world who sold meat to pay debts!" Riesel growled angrily.
Chen Ze couldn’t help but look back—dragons selling meat?
Indeed, life is a circle.
