Chapter 139: Chapter 31: Is This Wine? It Seems Like You’re Trying to Mess with Me
"You can tell, you’re a good chef," Foster praised Chen Ze’s cooking with a smile.
"A good chef is a bit of a stretch, but an ordinary cook, I can handle that," Chen Ze said with a grin, sitting on the side.
He found these two guests very interesting, especially the man from another world, a Huaxia person who bore a striking resemblance to a certain celebrity, but this Li Huaqiang was a detective.
And not just any detective, but a very capable one who could tell just from Chen Ze’s body language that he had had a busy day and even deduced that he was selling kebabs, a skill Chen Ze himself did not possess.
After all, he had taken a bath, and he had no idea how the detective had figured it out.
"Oh~ A magical chef from Huaxia, your dish is really delicious!" Lao Jack kept eating the Mapo Tofu.
Although the Mapo Tofu was very spicy, which Lao Jack, who favored sweet and sour flavors, didn’t like much, the taste was simply too good; Lao Jack wished he could swallow his tongue too.
However, what frustrated Lao Jack was that Chen Ze and Foster kept speaking in Chinese, but he could only understand Chen Ze and not a word of what Foster said. freёweɓnovel.com
"Thanks for the compliment, but are you guys okay to head back now?" Chen Ze was a bit worried; he had already heard about their ordeal from Foster.
Cruise ships, conspiracies, and a giant Octopus Monster, if it weren’t for having a Foster, Chen Ze might even think these two guests had come from an extreme cold zone.
After all, these elements were exactly like those in extreme cold zones.
"Although Lao Jack has already used the radio to call for help from the coast guard, we’re not sure when they will be able to come," Foster mentioned with a bit of a headache.
He was a detective with great deductive skills, but he had no knowledge of sea monsters, and judging by Lao Jack’s grenades and submachine gun, unless it was something like a Thermobaric Bomb, those weapons wouldn’t have much effect on the monster.
"And even if the coast guard comes to rescue us, given their armament, it’s probably just giving the monster more food," Lao Jack took a big sip of Coke.
This drink, which he would normally never touch, now tasted even better than his favored Vodka.
Chen Ze rubbed his chin, if other guests could go to another world, then it would be an easy fix.
Chen Ze thought whether it was Gu Aotian, Lafra, or Hastur, any of them could easily deal with the sea monster and then it would become Chen Ze’s ingredient.
But the problem was, other guests simply couldn’t travel to other worlds, so these two guests from a Parallel Earth would have to solve the problem on their own. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
And Chen Ze wasn’t the kind of person who could pull out something like TNT either, so how to resolve this issue was indeed a bit disheartening.
"It would be great if we could restrain that sea monster; just restraining it would give us a chance to go under the cruise ship and use the fuel storage to blow up that big octopus," Lao Jack sighed, feeling like he was eating his last supper.
"Wait here for a moment," Chen Ze suddenly remembered something that he had forgotten for a long time.
Strong Liquor Grass, a magical ingredient that emitted a strong scent of alcohol, was enough to make one feel a bit tipsy just by smelling it.
Although after being cooked into a dish, the alcohol scent was much reduced, but that was based on being fried.
Chen Ze thought of the Oolong tea that had floored Betty, wondering if adding Strong Liquor Grass to it would have a surprising effect?
Chen Ze figured it was worth a try.
"Wait for me a moment," Chen Ze told Betty, then left the house, as he still had to buy Vodka and Whiskey from the supermarket.
Foster watched Chen Ze leave through the small door, squinting his eyes, it seemed to be consistent with his deduction.
This restaurant was not an ordinary restaurant, but one that allowed people to cross over to other worlds.
The method of crossing over was to open that wooden door, and the manager probably exited his own world through that little door just now.
Although Foster pondered a lot, he didn’t make any moves. Such a magical restaurant surely had its own defense facilities, and that servant, who looked like a demon, was also present.
Chen Ze returned after a short while, carrying a large bag as he ducked into the kitchen.
"Ninety percent vodka, ten percent whiskey," Chen Ze hesitated.
"Right, it’s not humans this time, might as well mix them up directly." Chen Ze took out a large bottle and completely mixed the two liquors together.
He then chopped up the last two stalks of Strong Liquor Grass and threw them in.
[You have made a very bad strong liquor, and your experience in making alcoholic beverages has increased by 1 point.]
The System suddenly popped up and made its presence felt.
"...??" Chen Ze was a bit confused. He really didn’t expect that this would count as making liquor, and that it actually gave him experience.
Curious, Chen Ze picked up the terrible bottle of liquor to examine it. It had turned into a very murky color, resembling a bottle of muddy water.
"I wonder if the alcohol content is high enough..." Chen Ze was somewhat conflicted, unsure if the bottle would be sufficient considering Foster’s size.
"What is this?" Lao Jack noticed the bottle in Chen Ze’s hand at first glance.
"Hmm... let’s just say it’s something that can tentatively be called liquor?" Chen Ze scratched his head, as it was indeed a very bad strong liquor.
Even if it was very bad, it was still liquor, right?
"Liquor? Let me have a look!" Lao Jack grabbed the bottle, and before Chen Ze could stop him, he opened the cap.
Immediately, a suffocating smell gushed out, the strong, tear-inducing scent of alcohol, accompanied by a dizzying odor upon inhalation.
Foster quickly pressed the cap back on and caught the bottle as Lao Jack staggered and collapsed on the ground.
"Good... good liquor..." Lao Jack lay on the ground, out cold.
"Do you think... this can help you guys?" Chen Ze asked Foster, looking at the swaying Lao Jack.
"I... I think... I think it can!" Foster had been standing nearby, feeling as if he had been drinking Erguotou all night.
Just the smell was so stimulating; drinking it wouldn’t instantly send one to heaven?
"Ah... here you go... money definitely won’t do, the money from my place you can’t use here, right?" Chen Ze’s mouth twitched, wondering if he was too drunk to speak properly.
"This is... here, take this!" Foster took a pocket watch from his chest and placed it on the table.
Chen Ze looked at it, a golden pocket watch adorned with a few gemstones.
"Thanks, I’m glad to have met someone from Huaxia." Foster shook his head, helped Lao Jack up, took the liquor, and pushed the door to leave.
"This is okay, right?" Chen Ze was a bit concerned, but thinking of that bottle of liquor, he still had some confidence.
It looked like it was time to ponder a bit about how to brew liquor.
