My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 243: Chapter 103 Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles

The night passed just like that, and although Chen Ze secretly hoped for something exciting to happen, unfortunately, nothing did.

"Ah, I thought some blood-pumping event would occur, I was all prepared for ’river crabs’." Chen Ze sighed and leisurely brushed his teeth.

"What are ’river crabs’?" Lafra asked as she brushed her teeth in front of Chen Ze, her height just reaching his chin.

"Um... It’s a type of legendary beast, ranked alongside the ’grass mud horse’." Chen Ze grinned and checked his teeth, good, it looked like he didn’t need to get them cleaned for the time being.

"The mouth-rinsing tools here are really strange." Lafra spit out the toothpaste and rinsed her mouth.

"Then what do you use for mouth rinsing over there?" Chen Ze was genuinely curious, as he had asked before and knew that there were no toothbrushes or toothpaste in the other world.

This made Chen Ze think back to ancient Europe. It was said that to avoid body odor, European nobles would spray large amounts of perfume simply because they wouldn’t bathe for a long time.

In modern times, that would be impossible, let alone going a year without a bath, even a week without one could release a nauseating smell.

Back in school, there was a guy who always had greasy hair and radiated an unpleasant odor. Every girl who had to sit next to him felt like dying.

However, that guy was particularly good at his studies. Chen Ze had contacted him recently, only to learn that he had become a medical student pursuing a Ph.D., specifically in the field of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular research.

It was said he even had a slight obsession with cleanliness now, which Chen Ze found completely unimaginable how he had changed over the years.

"Us? We have special cleaning magic, and if you can’t use magic, a cleaning scroll works just fine." Lafra stretched her hand into the air and pulled out a scroll, handing it to Chen Ze.

Chen Ze curiously took a look at the ordinary scroll, which seemed unremarkable.

"How do you use this thing?" Chen Ze put down his toothbrush, very intrigued.

"Just tear it open." Lafra picked up the towel Chen Ze had bought for her and washed her face.

As soon as Chen Ze tore open the scroll, he saw a puff of blue liquid float up and cover his face. It then fell back into the sink and turned into water, only there were some impurities floating in it.

"So convenient." Chen Ze touched his face, which was very clean. What was even more miraculous was that all the blackheads were gone; he thought that if he could sell this scroll, it would definitely be a bestseller.

Of course, Chen Ze only thought about it. After all, such a thing seemed impossible to explain scientifically, and if he dared sell it, he’d have to be prepared for an investigation.

"Uncle!" Nina burst in, her backpack slung over her shoulders, looking very excited.

Chen Ze’s mouth twitched, but he forcibly suppressed the urge to tease and ruffled Nina’s hair.

"What’s up, Nina?"

"Nina is going to study alchemy, and she’ll come to see Uncle again!" Nina beamed with joy, and behind her, Er Gouzi was also wagging its tail vigorously at Chen Ze.

"Alright, but be safe, and remember where your Uncle’s place is, don’t forget." Chen Ze smiled warmly at Nina. He had to admit, Lafra’s magic was truly outstanding.

Nina looked like a completely different person to him now, even her hair color had changed and was nothing like the old Nina.

"Okay, Uncle, I’ll be going then~" Listening to Nina’s footsteps descending the stairs, Chen Ze’s mouth twitched again.

"Why does it have to be ’Uncle’..." Chen Ze sighed.

"Perhaps you’d rather be a dad? Besides, I’m not ready to be a mom yet, I’m still so young." Lafra also stepped out of the bathroom. freēwēbnovel.com

Chen Ze tried hard to suppress the urge to make sarcastic comments. He had asked Betty before about Lafra’s actual age, but Betty said she didn’t know either.

However, when Betty’s great-great-great-grandmother was still alive, Lafra was already the Blood Ancestor, which meant she was at least tens of thousands of years old.

Chen Ze sighed and followed downstairs. After all, Nina was waiting below, and Chen Ze didn’t want anything to be noticed, or else the memories Lafra had woven for Nina would be gone.

"Dear, what’s for breakfast today?" Lafra sat at the table, looking very expectant.

"Nina wants to eat breakfast too!" Nina waved her little hand.

"Woof!" Ergouzi also barked in agreement.

Chen Ze pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration, but he still knew what to make for breakfast.

Breakfast varies from place to place, with some regions preferring noodles, while others like to have porridge in the morning.

And in Yun Province, the most characteristic breakfast is definitely rice noodles, which come in all sorts of varieties: small pot rice noodles, tofu pudding rice noodles, cross-the-bridge rice noodles, and so on.

Of course, the most famous would still be the cross-the-bridge rice noodles, which is also a dish many tourists try after coming here.

"Please wait a moment." Chen Ze poured them each a warm glass of honey water and filled Ergouzi’s bowl with some warm water before heading into the kitchen.

This time, Chen Ze planned to make a serving of cross-the-bridge rice noodles. Speaking of making cross-the-bridge rice noodles, the most important part was actually preparing the ingredients.

The method of eating cross-the-bridge rice noodles is not complicated: a steaming hot bowl of soup, preferably topped with chicken oil to keep the soup as warm as possible.

Then, add the prepared crispy meat, quail eggs, and other ingredients, followed by the cooked rice noodles, and it’s ready to serve.

"Good thing I bought some rice noodles yesterday, or else I could only have made crab roe soup dumplings today." Chen Ze opened the cupboard, took out the rice noodles, and started on breakfast.

This time, however, Chen Ze planned to make a slightly different cross-the-bridge rice noodles by adding some Moonlight Mushrooms, which would make the soup even more delicious.

"Sister, what’s Uncle making? It smells really good," Nina sniffed and showed a longing expression. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Hunger is always one of the most basic and fundamental human desires, and Nina felt like she could eat an entire piglet right now.

Lafra smiled and rubbed Nina’s head affectionately. Secretly, she used magic to check the Magic Circle again, making sure everything was correct before speaking, "It’s definitely going to be something delicious."

"Nina is so hungry, it feels like I haven’t eaten for days~" Nina lay on the table, swinging her little legs.

Hearing this, Chen Ze chuckled. Indeed, it had been a long time since she had eaten; at the very least, she had been sleeping in bed all day yesterday.

Chen Ze looked at the soup where he was cooking the crispy meat. Not every ingredient in the cross-the-bridge rice noodles needs to be freshly blanched, some need to be prepared in advance.

Chen Ze ladled some soup into a small bowl and tasted it. The flavor was fantastic, which meant it was ready.

"Dear, Nina, breakfast is ready."

"Hurrah for Uncle!"

"Woof woof!"
