My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 222: Chapter Eighty-Two: Cuisine and Human Nature

But Chen Ze didn’t receive any promotion, and the System’s evaluation remained the same as before, with no changes. This made Chen Ze wonder if he had taken the wrong approach.

After all, Chen Ze had previously created dishes of a perfect rating, although they were exclusive to the Nafi Siblings. Nevertheless, those were still dishes of a perfect rating.

After that, Chen Ze never again managed to make dishes with a perfect rating, not even those that were temporarily enhanced.

"For this meal, I’ll pay with this," Flying Squirrel took out a potion from the Magic Space, its bright red color and unique shape distinct.

Chen Ze recognized it at a glance, this was almost certainly a Blood bottle.

"Alright, thank you for your patronage," Chen Ze nodded, taking the Blood bottle and then watched Flying Squirrel leave.

[Energy source detected, absorb?]

Chen Ze then saw this prompt and looked at the Blood bottle in his hand; it was clear that the System was referring to it.

"Considering how Flying Squirrel acted, this thing doesn’t seem that precious, right?" Chen Ze stroked his chin, debating whether or not to convert it into energy to contribute to the System.

"Let’s not, what if it’s useful later?" Chen Ze suddenly thought of Rose.

The first guest, the first guest from another world, and later she was nearly the first to die in his restaurant. If Chen Ze hadn’t saved her with his amateurish emergency skills, he would have had to consider how to deal with a corpse.

Plus, who knows if it would have left a psychological shadow on Chen Ze, so in the end, he decided to keep the Blood bottle.

"Buzz..." A vibrating sound.

Chen Ze checked his phone and saw a message from his sister.

[Unparalleled General Pan Feng: Bro, I’ve found a really interesting recipe!]

[Great Writer: What’s with this name and profile picture?]

Chen Ze’s eyes almost bulged out of his head. His sister used to often use anime avatars, but this time, she switched to a rough-looking man, and it even looked like a selfie.

If he hadn’t confirmed it multiple times, Chen Ze would have thought he was looking at the wrong WeChat.

[Unparalleled General Pan Feng: I keep getting friend requests from random people, so I had to do this.]

Chen Ze instantly understood. People like this existed all over the world, starting a conversation with "Wanna meet up, get a room?"

Without considering whether the other person was willing, they completely carried the attitude of casting a wide net.

And then, they often ended up as the victims of scams, losing money and unable to avert disaster.

[Great Writer: The recipe you mentioned, it’s not a ’Nyotaimori’ or ’Golden Rice Bowl’, is it?]

When it came to quirky or miraculous recipes, Chen Ze felt these two were the most unique.

Then Chen Ze saw that she was typing, then stopped, followed by more typing. It seemed his sister was struggling with how to reply.

[Unparalleled General Pan Feng: No, it’s this!]

[Unparalleled General Pan Feng: Picture 1]

Chen Ze clicked on the picture. It showed an ingredient of pure white color, but Chen Ze couldn’t understand what it was.

[Great Writer: What is this?]

[Unparalleled General Pan Feng: This is ’shirako’, but I didn’t eat it.]

Chen Ze’s lips twitched; it was shirokuro ah, he definitely knew about it since he had checked the menu before.

Just as Chen Ze was about to reply something, the signal suddenly cut off, and he immediately looked towards the restaurant—it must be that a customer had come in.

But Chen Ze only saw the opened door and did not see any figure.

Then, Chen Ze immediately thought of an old friend, Miss Kayako, who could only hiccup, and yes, also apply makeup.

"Dear guest... huh? A dog?" Betty’s surprised voice made Chen Ze stop his intention to search with the Magic Circle.

Chen Ze walked out of the kitchen and saw a big dog, white, with strange fur that looked incredibly awkward.

"What’s going on?" Chen Ze was puzzled. It was his first time seeing a dog enter. Could it be that this time the transit portal opened in the world of canines?

"This... is... where..." A low, strange voice.

Chen Ze raised his eyebrows, so it really was a canine, but why wasn’t it standing up?

"Customer, this is Dream Restaurant. Would you like to eat something?" Chen Ze patiently squatted down, no matter canine beings, if feline beings came in the future, Chen Ze would also serve them normally.

He guessed even if Caesar from "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" came over, Chen Ze would calmly make a banana salad for it.

"Restaurant... restaurant... want to go back... daddy..." The white dog turned around, the light illuminating the fur on its body.

Seeing the unique color, the white dog, and that strange voice, Chen Ze suddenly remembered someone.

"Nina... Nina?" Chen Ze hesitantly asked, not quite believing it.

"Uncle... Uncle knows... Nina..." The big white dog turned its head and looked at Chen Ze.

Chen Ze shuddered. It was really her... really Nina, the tragic little girl, the little girl who, even after being cruelly hurt by her father, still loved him.

Chen Ze took a deep breath and then squatted down to pat Nina’s, or rather, Alexander’s head. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Nina, wait here for me. I will make you a dessert, alright?" Chen Ze looked at Nina, his voice very soft.

He was grateful that he had never used that reward he obtained earlier, and this time he had finally found a use for it.

"Good... okay... Uncle..." Nina obediently sat on the ground, and Chen Ze watched the scene with a firmer grip.

"Manager, this Nina... isn’t it..." Betty approached with a particularly troubled expression; she, of course, had seen "Fullmetal Alchemist," the classic anime, and remembered some of the scenes vividly.

"Yes, it is that Chimera." Chen Ze nodded and then returned to the kitchen to start making Buffet.

Chen Ze did not plan to use the reward for a full restoration effect right away, but instead decided to give it a shot first to see if he could achieve the desired effect.

Betty looked at Nina, the little girl who had now become fused with her pet dog and retained some of the dog’s habits.

"Nina, would you like some cola?" Betty gently placed a small bowl of cola in front of Nina.

Chen Ze emotionlessly continued making Buffet and mango mousse in the kitchen, even producing some peculiar special effects, but he still hadn’t found the one he was looking for.

"Is there no forgetting effect...?" Chen Ze was a bit troubled. If he didn’t make Nina forget her father, Chen Ze could imagine what the story would be like next.

[You have made a fairly good mango mousse, and your dessert-making experience has increased by 5 points.]

[The mango mousse has gained a restoration effect.]

Chen Ze froze, restoration? Did that mean he could restore Nina back to her original self?
