My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: The Effects of Strong Liquor Grass

"Express my inner heart?" Alisa, with her twin ponytails, looked at her father—the Duke Rose—with a puzzled face.

"Yes, my little Alisa, you must pay attention in the future. If someone serves you a dish with this flavor, you need to be extra careful, as the person may have ill intentions," the Duke Rose said indulgently as he ruffled his daughter’s hair.

"Strong Liquor Grass can reveal the hidden part of you, and if paired with other things, your secrets could be known by others," Duke Rose looked at Alisa, a bit worried.

At seventeen years old, Alisa was more childish than other noble girls her age, a result of the Duke Rose’s indulgence.

While other noble girls were busy with social gatherings, learning how to interact with other nobles, Alisa was still immersed in her quirky interests.

Even though Duke Rose had hired a special etiquette teacher, Alisa was still like a wild child and stories of how she beat up the second prince were even spread throughout the Royal Capital.

For this reason, Duke Rose had even rejected the Emperor’s proposal to betroth the third prince to Alisa.

"However, it would only be effective with a very high purity of Strong Liquor Grass, so there’s no need to worry too much," Duke Rose shook his head, not believing there would be a fool who would use an entire plant of Strong Liquor Grass for cooking.

"There wouldn’t really be such a fool, right?" Duke Rose laughed, how could there be such fools.

Chen Ze, of course, didn’t know that the former Duke Rose had made such a comment, and even if he did, he wouldn’t care much. After all, a dead person isn’t worth fretting over.

"This time the dish is much better than before, at least it resembles a dish, not like a snack," Alisa took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, quite satisfied with this meal.

"So, it’s the same as last time," Chen Ze nodded, after all, last time it was just chive pockets, this time it was braised pork, they were incomparable.

"Alright, then I will share my thoughts..." Alisa nodded, then slowly expressed her opinion of the dish.

Chen Ze took out a notebook and continued recording. He really liked this visitor from another world, not because she was beautiful, spoke nicely, or had an especially attractive figure, absolutely not! freewēbnoveℓ.com

Chen Ze simply felt that with such a guest, he could make even more delicious dishes.

"I will come again next time," Alisa said as she pushed open the door and returned to her bedroom, feeling an inexplicable drowsiness.

Chen Ze set his headscarf aside, finally able to take a break.

But as soon as he saw the box full of meat, Chen Ze felt like he had even less hair; dealing just with skewering so much meat was a substantial amount of work, let alone the fact that Chen Ze was alone.

"Forget it, forget it, this is all money," Chen Ze took a deep breath.

Life is tough, Chen Ze sighed.

Chen Xingchen felt as if she had had a dream, a dream of her younger self, a dream of a night she got lost in a valley.

She didn’t like this memory, and had always buried it deep in her memories, but for some reason, it had come back to her once again.

"Such an unpleasant dream," Chen Xingchen rubbed her head, feeling like she was just waking up from a hangover, that thing called Strong Liquor Grass was a bit too stimulating.

It was like concentrated alcohol, the kind that could directly evaporate into the air.

Chen Xingchen sniffed the air and recognized a familiar scent.

"This smell... Oh my god, has my brother finally turned into a raging alcoholic?" Chen Xingchen remembered the scent very well, after all, it was this same scent that had plastered her face while she had been making Drunken Ribs, and her head still wasn’t clear.

Chen Xingchen carefully turned her head and saw on the nightstand a plate covered with cling film, inside which faintly lay the Drunken Ribs she had made.

Next to it was a note from Chen Ze, "Try the dish you made after you get up, if you have a headache you can drink some milk."

"Hmm... The taste is not bad." Chen Xingchen picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of Drunken Ribs, and took a bite.

Although a bit cold, the rich aroma of meat and wine had its own distinct flavor.

By evening, Chen Ze once again rolled out his barbecue stall, and seeing the crowd that instantly gathered, he felt he would be exhausted again tonight. However, his wallet would be getting somewhat fatter.

"Hey! Idiot, hurry up, Storm Barbecue has started selling again!" A man immediately took out his phone.

"Boss! Give me two hundred’s worth!" Another man handed over two hundred RMB straight into Chen Ze’s hand.

"I want a thousand’s worth!"

Chen Ze looked at the box where he had placed the skewers and felt that the barbecue he had prepared wouldn’t last two hours at this rate.

Chen Xingchen, who came down from the second floor to help, was stunned. It was her first time seeing such a large crowd, and visibly, more people were still coming from afar. This made her wonder if her brother had paid some people to line up.

After all, some popular restaurants do indeed use such tactics, but Chen Xingchen felt that her brother probably wouldn’t do that.

"Brother, I didn’t expect your barbecue to be so popular," Chen Xingchen wiped her sweat. She had never imagined that her brother, who could only make dark cuisine, could also sell barbecue that was so hot.

Although Chen Xingchen knew the main reason was the otherworldly ingredients, the fact that her brother had come up with this, she thought it was quite impressive already.

Chen Ze didn’t want to move at all and was sprawled on the table, feeling like he was about to collapse from exhaustion.

"Yeah, but I have run out of ingredients, I’m still considering what to do next," Chen Ze said, holding his phone, glanced at the ample balance and smiled proudly for a while. Then, remembering he no longer had enough ingredients, he started to feel a headache coming on.

"Stan, oh Stan, when will you come to eat at Buffet?"

Alisa returned to her room and, once again fully satisfied, felt an unprecedented relaxation.

"Where did Daddy go... I so wish I could go hunting with you..." Alisa could feel her eyelids getting heavier, slowly losing consciousness.

How long she slept, Alisa did not know, but when she opened her eyes, her pillow had been soaked with her tears. freewebnøvel.com

"So, I no longer have a father, Duke Rose has become a thing of the past..." Under the influence of Strong Liquor Grass, Alisa witnessed her hidden self.

And the ripples caused by the Drunken Ribs made with Strong Liquor Grass were far from over.
