My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 242: Chapter 102: The Toxic Chicken Soup of Success Theory

Chen Ze yawned, Lafra was inscribing a permanent Magic Circle on Nina, but it was obviously not an easy task.

"Honey, if you’re sleepy, do you want to go sleep for a bit?" Lafra asked while continuing to inscribe the Magic Circle.

Chen Ze shook his head, then rubbed Er Gouzi’s head; he and Lafra had discussed it, and it was certain that Er Gouzi would go with Nina.

After all, with Nina being such a child, if she went out alone, Chen Ze would not feel at ease, even with Lafra’s Magic Circle for protection; he still wanted to be extra cautious.

"I want to eat something~" Lafra looked at Chen Ze, pouting her lips.

"Then I’ll go downstairs and make you something to eat." Chen Ze suddenly perked up, discovering a problem—that if he just sat in the chair watching Lafra inscribe the Magic Circle, he would easily fall asleep.

So whenever Chen Ze felt sleepy, he would choose to find something to do to wake himself up; otherwise, he would just get sleepier.

But what was strange was that if Chen Ze yawned and then lay back in bed, he couldn’t fall asleep at all, which greatly annoyed him. freewёbnoνel.com

"Let’s see... what should I make?" Chen Ze looked at his phone; it was half past eleven at night. It was too late to eat greasy foods with strong flavors, as that would affect the quality of sleep.

So Chen Ze decided to cook sweet rice wine soup with glutinous rice balls; it was sweet and appetizing, and filling as well.

Of course, the main reason was that Lafra liked sweets.

"Should I use sesame-filled glutinous rice balls... or meat-filled ones?" Chen Ze was undecided. It had to be said that the variety of products on the market was increasing, giving more and more people a condition known as decision paralysis.

In the end, Chen Ze still chose sesame-filled glutinous rice balls; after all, sweet rice wine was sweet, and pairing it with the salty meat filling would be utterly despairing.

"Lindsay! I’ve got to tell you, I found something amazing!" Betty, wearing pink pajamas, burst excitedly into her friend’s room.

"What’s up?" Lindsay asked while typing code on her computer.

"Hehe, I found a really awesome book!" Betty sat next to Lindsay and picked up a glass of milk, slowly taking a sip.

"You should know, drinking milk isn’t going to help your figure," Lindsay glanced at Betty; ever since she moved into Betty’s place, she noticed that Betty drank milk every day.

She didn’t understand what was so good about this white stuff; it wasn’t as good as a cup of dwarven Thunderbrew Lager.

"Hehe, anyway, I don’t know what to drink~" Betty didn’t care at all, instead leaning in to glance at Lindsay’s computer, then quickly lost interest because she couldn’t understand anything.

"The manager said they would help you upload your game, but you have to provide a complete game, otherwise, you can’t make money," Betty leisurely took another sip of milk, contentedly sighing.

"Okay, but what are you trying to say?" Lindsay was a bit speechless; her friend was too out of touch.

"Right! It’s this; look, look!" Betty excitedly pulled out a photo she had asked Chen Ze to print for her.

Lindsay twisted her neck and stretched her body with a yawn before she took the photo.

"Hmm... The Secret? Over fifty million copies worldwide... Law of Attraction? Imagine and succeed?" Lindsay was shocked—there was such a thing?

"How is it, how is it~ I plan to buy one and see if I can unlock the secrets of the universe, and then I can be successful!" Betty looked extremely excited.

Lindsay’s mouth twitched, as she didn’t know how to comment on her friend.

"Quantum Physics’ new discoveries are completely consistent with the teachings in ’The Secret’? Quantum... Quantum..." Lindsay rubbed her temples, feeling as if she had heard the term somewhere before.

"I remember now!" Lindsay tossed the photo aside and looked at Betty with a stern face.

"Eh?" Betty blinked in confusion.

"Betty, this book is definitely not reliable. Do you remember the Quantum Fluctuation Study Technique you wanted to learn before? This is almost the same as that, it’s too fake," Lindsay said ’cruelly’, shattering Betty’s fantasy.

"Plus, this law of attraction is very unreliable. When I was captured as a slave, I thought about gaining my freedom every day, but it was your Gold Coin that bought my freedom," Lindsay said gravely.

"I see... No wonder the boss had such a strange expression when he helped me print it..." Betty felt a bit disappointed; she thought she had found the key to changing her Destiny.

"It’s a good thing I didn’t buy those success books, or I would have to cut back on my expenses again." Betty patted her chest in relief, given her tight finances recently.

"Just stop thinking about it so much. These success teachings are basically scams. All that stuff you talk about is just rubbish," Lindsay said with a laugh, ruffling Betty’s hair.

"So Lindsay, what do you think one should do to be successful?" Betty looked at Lindsay with shining eyes.

"I think what I’m doing now, programming games and waiting for the boss to sell them for money, that’s quite successful. Success is all about relying on oneself." Lindsay turned away and continued typing her code; she also had to do modeling, so she was incredibly busy.

"In that case, I’ll... learn to cook from the boss!" Betty suddenly found a goal.

Lindsay’s hands, which were typing on the keyboard, involuntarily stopped. She wondered if she should take more breaks? If Betty really started cooking, she felt she might die.

Chen Ze, of course, had no idea about the Hell he would face tomorrow. If Chen Ze knew that Betty was planning to learn cooking from him, he would definitely close the restaurant for a few days to dodge the bullet.

Last time Betty tried cooking, it was a total Hell, making Chen Ze seriously doubt whether Lafra’s cooking skills were taught by Betty.

Of course, Chen Ze didn’t know this, so he calmly brought two bowls of sweet rice wine dumplings to the table.

"Dear, what is this?" Lafra asked curiously, looking at Chen Ze as she caught a pleasant scent.

"Sweet rice wine dumplings, try them," Chen Ze said, scooping up a dumpling with a spoon, blowing on it before eating it.

Just like the ones he usually ate, the sweet soup and the delicious dumplings were warm, which would be even more wonderful if eaten during winter or on cold days.

"Feed me, I can’t spare a hand right now," Lafra asked, mouth slightly open, and Chen Ze nervously fed her a dumpling.

"How does it taste?" Chen Ze couldn’t help but ask, watching Lafra chew.

"Quite delicious, I want more."
