My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 131: Chapter 23: Do you think this is tea? Actually, it’s my Oolong tea ta-da!

Chen Ze was in the kitchen contemplating life, because he suddenly thought of a question: when Naruto just entered the restaurant, had he been spied on by the Third Hokage’s Telescope Jutsu?

If that was the case, Chen Ze felt that there might soon be someone from the Anbu coming in to have a chat about life and talk about ideals with him.

Of course, it could also be someone from Akatsuki, but that possibility wasn’t very likely; after all, the Kage had a lot on his plate and couldn’t be expected to always keep an eye on a Jinchuriki who hadn’t grown up yet.

"Boss, is it time for a lunch break?" Betty, who was leaning on the table after just having a serving of Nine Turns Intestine, didn’t feel like moving at all.

At first, when Betty found out what Nine Turns Intestine was made of, she refused it. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"You can’t just tell me to eat and expect me to eat. Firstly, using pig intestines to cook is disgusting no matter how you think about it. What if it hasn’t been cleaned properly? Then add a little special effect, and the pig intestines ’duang’ become very clean and shiny; the other customers will definitely curse me..." Then, a piece of the Nine Turns Intestine made its way into Betty’s mouth.

After that, Betty just quietly ate, even adding a bowl of rice to her meal.

"Yes, let’s close for two hours since there aren’t many customers right now," Chen Ze said nonchalantly.

As a restaurant owner, Chen Ze was just that capricious; during the busiest times for most restaurants, Chen Ze would shut his doors whenever he wanted, with no intention of exploiting his employees like a capitalist.

"Then~" Betty’s tail wagged happily.

Ever since Chen Ze found out about it, Betty had been openly making demands.

"Fine, you go play. I’m going upstairs to rest too." Chen Ze locked the door, took off his headscarf, and went up to the second floor.

"The boss is so cool!" Betty cheered and ran up to the second floor.

Chen Ze then started playing Pokémon Sword and Shield while strangely eyeing Betty, who was sitting in front of the computer.

"You... are you sure you want to play this?" Chen Ze watched as she clicked on Doki Doki Literature Club, a twitch forming at the corner of his mouth.

"Yeah. Succubi don’t care about gender. Whether it’s male or female, as long as they have a pretty face, I’m all in!" Betty proudly declared her fan status.

Chen Ze scratched his head, and then he remembered something.

"You don’t understand Chinese, do you?" Chen Ze squinted his eyes. If you don’t understand Chinese, what the hell are you doing playing a romance game?

Betty obviously froze for a moment.

Betty in danger

"Ah haha... Well, that’s because I asked Lord Riesel to help me make a translation software~" Betty remembered she had used this excuse before.

"Then keep playing." Chen Ze shook his head. As long as she understood, it was fine. Chen Ze was just worried that Betty wouldn’t be able to understand, and that would ruin the fun of playing the game.

Chen Ze silently laughed to himself. Doki Doki Literature Club, huh? He hoped Betty had a strong enough psyche.

Chen Ze took out his phone to check why it had vibrated just now.

And then he saw the recipe sent by Chen Xingchen: the recipe for unagi don.

Chen Ze looked over the recipe and roughly grasped the method to make unagi don; the key lay in how the eel was prepared.

"Looks like I’ll have to set up a stall sometime soon, but the problem is..." Chen Ze was a bit worried. It seemed he would need to hire some delivery staff to help send deliveries, as setting up a stall wouldn’t work during this period.

"Boss, why has the game become like this?" Betty asked hesitantly, noticing a subtle change in the game interface.

Chen Ze glanced over, hah, it had progressed to this point.

"It’s nothing, the game’s just like this, keep going," Chen Ze smiled and went downstairs; he needed to check the refrigerator.

Since he was going to do deliveries, Chen Ze was still very particular about his ingredients, even though his restaurant in Sun Moon City was already very famous, designated as a highly popular internet celebrity restaurant with no negative reviews.

But Chen Ze didn’t plan to just give his customers short shrift; doing so would not be beneficial for his future business operations.

However, it was very strange, because since Chen Ze took over the restaurant, no one from the business or tax department had come by, as if Chen Ze’s restaurant didn’t exist at all.

The first thing Chen Ze saw were the three ingredients Hastur had traded with him before, the deliciousness of Moonlight Mushrooms was undeniable, but Chen Ze had never tried the other two ingredients.

It wasn’t just because of the quantity; Chen Ze had never had much confidence in his cooking skills before, and he was worried that his poor culinary skills would ruin these precious ingredients.

But now it was probably time to give them a try.

"Let’s go for some mountain and sea delicacies," Chen Ze moved out a tentacle, he had already stockpiled many of the sustainably sourced tentacles given to him by Lafra.

"Should I try this Magma Berry?" Chen Ze looked at the fruit, hesitating.

Literally speaking, Magma Berries are intensely hot fruit, and Chen Ze even thought that cutting one open might result in lava pouring out.

In the end, Chen Ze decided to cut open one to try.

He picked up the kitchen knife cautiously and slowly made a cut, then red hot juice flowed out.

Chen Ze quickly poured the juice into a bowl, even though the fruit wasn’t big, there was an exceptional amount of juice inside, and it took him quite a while to pour it all out.

"A single berry must have about 500ml of juice, right?" Chen Ze looked at the bowl of steaming red juice in front of him and remarked.

He picked up some chopsticks and dabbed a little to taste.

"So... so spicy!" Chen Ze gasped for air, this Magma Berry wasn’t a magma fruit at all, it was pure capsaicin!

Chen Ze drank a sip of cola to barely calm down.

Licking his lips, Chen Ze thought while the Magma Berry was very spicy, it was not impossible to cook with; he felt it could make an exciting Mapo Tofu.

But it could also be used to marinate mountain and sea delicacies.

Chen Ze started cutting the tentacles immediately, intending to test out his idea. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Before long, Chen Ze had put a strand of tentacles into another bowl, brushing it with some sauce.

After a while, Chen Ze made this special, very red grilled squid.

Chen Ze couldn’t help but swallow, just looking at it made him feel the heat, but it also made him want to eat it more, the aroma in the air was exceptionally inviting.

Just as Chen Ze was about to take a bite, he saw Betty looking at him with eager eyes.

Chen Ze looked at Betty, shook the grilled squid, and then saw Betty’s eyes following it.

"You want to eat?" Betty immediately nodded her head.

"Then go ahead," Chen Ze handed over the grilled squid.

Betty took it and bit down.

"Hoo!" Betty clutched her throat in pain, what on earth had she eaten!

"Sleep! Water!" Betty felt like she was ascending to heaven.

Chen Ze quickly took a cup that looked like tea from the fridge and handed it to Betty.

Betty drained it in one gulp.

"Pfft!"
