My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 258: Chapter 118 Betty’s Fast Food Idea

Hiruzen Sarutobi surveyed the restaurant, noting that the décor and furniture were significantly different from what one would find in Konoha.

Considering that the restaurant disappeared for a while after people entered, it must not be a restaurant that existed within Konoha.

It was unclear which time-space Ninjutsu was responsible for this phenomenon, allowing this ordinary wooden door to appear out of nowhere and even withstand the Fire Jutsu of the Uchiha Clan.

Even attempting to destroy it with ninja tools was futile, which piqued Hiruzen’s interest; he had even secretly used some advanced Ninjutsu, but to no effect on the door.

"I wonder how this door’s defense compares to the Summoning Jutsu: Rashomon in terms of strength," mused Hiruzen as he stroked his beard, then subconsciously reached for his pipe.

But remembering his promise to the restaurant’s manager, he placed it back down.

"This scent..." Hiruzen looked towards the kitchen, astonished by the aroma that was even more fragrant than any dish he had ever eaten.

"Master must be frying pork cutlets again, I really want some too. I’m so hungry..." Naruto lamented, rubbing his stomach. At that moment, Naruto felt there was nothing more painful than being hungry, smelling the food, and not being able to eat it.

"I remember Master saying that meditation can..." Naruto mumbled softly, and then began to enter a state of meditation.

Hiruzen had been watching Naruto and, upon seeing him close his eyes, didn’t think that Naruto had fallen asleep; he had heard Naruto mention meditation.

"Betty, come in and serve the dishes," Chen Ze clapped his hands, finished with his task.

If it wasn’t for the time-consuming process of making ice sea chestnut rice, Chen Ze could have finished the dishes quicker. Nowadays, most restaurants would serve food within twenty minutes of ordering.

Of course, some are more particular and require advance reservation for dining so that the chef can prepare accordingly.

However, it had to be said that the time invested was worthwhile.

"Ah, if only Doraemon were here, but it seems I wouldn’t be able to get his gadgets from him anyway..." Chen Ze shook his head. Doraemon really hadn’t given his gadgets to anyone else.

"Or has he?" Chen Ze was a bit confused, as Doraemon’s story was too long and he couldn’t remember the specifics. However, he could ask next time Doraemon visited.

"Miss Betty, what is this?" Naruto asked in surprise, looking at the chestnut rice in front of him. fгeewebnovёl.com

"Naruto, this is Master’s ice sea chestnut rice," Betty explained with a smile and then placed Hiruzen’s dishes on the table.

Hiruzen stared at the dish before him, unsure if he was seeing correctly—was the dish glowing?

"Naruto, look at this dish. Is it glowing?" Hiruzen furrowed his brow, having never encountered a glowing dish before.

"It really is glowing, and it’s so delicious~" Naruto scooped a spoonful of chestnut rice and happily swallowed it down.

The chestnut rice was incredibly delicious, and it was accompanied by an all-meat pork cutlet. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Hiruzen picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of tofu, putting it in his mouth.

"This is!" Hiruzen was shocked.

In his long life, he had tasted countless dishes, but only this one could be described as indescribably delicious the moment it entered the mouth.

The tofu was fresh, tender, slightly crispy, spicy, and fragrant. Although it didn’t quite match Hiruzen’s usual preference for light Japanese cuisine, this dish was too delicious to resist.

Enma felt like he had returned to his childhood, to the very first time he learned about Ninjutsu, and that indescribable emotion that came with it.

Chen Ze watched Hiruzen Sarutobi devouring the Magical Mapo Tofu with big bites and smiled proudly; this was his meticulously crafted Exquisite Level Magical Mapo Tofu.

"Tsk, watching him eat like that makes me want some too." There’s something especially appetite-inducing about seeing someone else relishing their food.

"Boss, I’d like to buy some slices of bread." Betty popped in again.

"Slices of bread?" Chen Ze was a bit confused.

"Yes, actually, I want to buy some seasonings too," Betty said seriously, nodding.

Chen Ze became thoughtful and then remembered the things he had taught Betty before.

"Are you planning to make burgers to sell?" Chen Ze suddenly understood—it seemed like burgers were pretty much the only thing Betty knew how to make.

"Right, and I’ve contacted Miss Alisa to get the ingredients I need from her, but we don’t have slices of bread at our place," Betty said, a touch frustrated. Even though she tried making it with white and black bread, it just didn’t turn out the way she wanted.

"No problem, but I’m curious if you have money to buy them now?" Chen Ze remembered that Betty still owed him more than four thousand Gold Coins, even after he had significantly reduced her debt.

"Hehe, not really, but I talked to Miss Alisa, and she thinks highly of my business, so she’s willing to sponsor me," Betty said proudly, wagging her tail.

"Fine, you can come to get them tomorrow." Chen Ze nodded. After all, bread slices for burgers were still within his means to purchase.

"Boss, do you want to learn some time management techniques from me?" Betty rubbed her hands together, looking very much like a crafty merchant.

"Heh, what are you up to," Chen Ze gave her a noncommittal smile. Time management, likely some scheme she picked up somewhere.

"Really, it’s very useful, and it can even help you manage multiple activities—oh~" Chen Ze understood immediately upon hearing that.

"No thanks, I don’t have another cellphone, and Lafra is enough for me." Chen Ze waved his hands and then shooed Betty out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was gnawing on sweet and sour ribs, the flavor was amazing, and the meat that suited his taste was just right.

As for the Magical Mapo Tofu, naturally, it had been polished off clean.

"Little Naruto, you usually pay sixty-two coins for eating here, right?" Enma recalled Naruto mentioning that he left some money at his doorstep, confirming it too.

"Yeah... Uncle-in-law... burp... It’s really good." Naruto nodded, the price was so cheap, and the flavor so amazing, truly conscientious.

Enma nodded; he certainly did not expect to be charged the same price, sixty-two coins for a delicacy of this category?

He might as well capture Orochimaru, the renegade disciple, and bring him back, instead of letting him cause trouble every day out there.

"Boss, how much do I owe?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was relaxed; he knew he was going to the restaurant today and had brought a good amount of money with him.

Chen Ze came out beaming, then held up two fingers—"Two Ninjutsu Scrolls."

"Oh? What kind of Ninjutsu Scrolls do you want?" Enma, who was just about to pay, relaxed his grip.

"The Shadow Clone Technique will do."
