My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 280: Chapter 140: The Burning Soul of Adolescence

To be precise, it’s roast duck, as there are indeed many variations of roast duck throughout Huaxia, but the most famous, naturally, is the Beijing roast duck.

A single roast duck reaches triple digits in price, and slicing the duck is also quite expensive, which is what many children of Huaxia think about Beijing roast duck.

But Beijing roast duck is truly delicious, continuously tempting countless tourists who visit Beijing to feast to their hearts’ content.

Chen Ze had been to Beijing too, but not for sightseeing, rather for his company’s annual meeting.

During that time, Chen Ze and his colleagues made a trip to Tiananmen and specifically went to Quanjude for a taste of Beijing roast duck, and only then did he feel that the trip to Beijing was worthwhile.

It’s just that the taste of Beijing’s fermented soybean drink is hard to describe, and Chen Ze is a person with a particularly strong capacity for acceptance, but when it comes to the fermented soybean drink from Beijing, he had to admit defeat.

However, for many Beijingers, the fermented soy milk is a nostalgic memory from their childhood and something they have always liked to drink.

Nevertheless, Chen Ze didn’t intend to make Beijing roast duck because he found its preparation method a bit complex, and he had a more suitable choice in mind.

Chen Ze clapped his hands in satisfaction; the Winterberry Spread was ready, the final product of the Winterberry Spread turned a pure, unblemished white, devoid of any other color.

"Let’s make a plate of pork with garlic sauce. I’m not even sure if this Winterberry Spread is as miraculous as they say," Chen Ze took out a large piece of pork from the fridge and laid it on the cutting board.

Chen Ze took a deep breath, scooped up a little, and spread it evenly on the pork, then to his surprise, he found the Winterberry Spread quickly infused into the meat, which showed no changes in appearance.

"Does it really work?" Chen Ze was a bit doubtful, after all, it looked unchanged and didn’t even shine to give the impression of making an effort.

But Chen Ze didn’t pay too much attention to it and started preparing the dish in accordance with the recipe for pork with garlic sauce.

"Manager~" Betty squeezed in again.

"What is it?" Chen Ze didn’t look up, continuing to slice the pork he held.

"That cake~" Betty wiped her drool, the image of that cake incessantly floating before her eyes was driving her mad.

"Don’t even think about it," Chen Ze put the pork into a pot to cook and added some ingredients.

"Then, can you save me a piece? I’ll definitely earn enough money!" Betty pumped her little fist energetically.

"Sure, if you can afford it, I’ll give it to you. I’m not going to cheat you, I plan to sell that for five thousand Gold Coins," Chen Ze glanced at Betty to make sure the Succubus was serious before giving her an answer.

Five thousand Gold Coins was the price considering Betty was a waitress; otherwise, Chen Ze would have straightaway charged ten thousand Gold Coins.

This wasn’t an inflated price, because although the Starry Sky Cake used a water drop cake as the base, the stars were a one-off; they would be gone once used, unless Chen Ze made another dessert with animated effects next time.

Just now, Chen Ze had tested it himself and could no longer produce stars, so before finding a substitute, one less star would be used with each cake.

Betty clenched her fist, five thousand Gold Coins? That made her wince, but the sight of the Starry Sky Cake from earlier made her think it was worth it.

When Betty left, Chen Ze could finally focus on making the pork with garlic sauce by himself, and it didn’t take long for him to finish the dish.

Chen Ze didn’t stop, but instead made another portion of sliced pork with mashed garlic. However, this portion wasn’t coated with the Winterberry Spread.

[You made a regular portion of sliced pork with mashed garlic. Your experience in making home-style dishes has increased by 5 points.]

Indeed, the difference became apparent immediately. Chen Ze was quite satisfied with that, nodding his head before stowing away the Winterberry Spread, tucking it into the refrigerator.

"Betty, come in for some food," Chen Ze called Betty in. One human and one succubus, it didn’t take long for them to polish off the two portions of sliced pork with mashed garlic.

"Phew~ Manager, why does one of the portions of meat taste better?" Betty patted her stomach. She was full, two portions of sliced pork with mashed garlic and two big bowls of rice—it was simply heavenly.

"Because one of them was made with a special seasoning," Chen Ze was also very pleased. In fact, the sliced pork with mashed garlic to which he had added Winterberry Spread tasted even better than he had imagined.

Chen Ze had deliberately chosen pork with fat layers, and surely enough, the fat didn’t taste greasy at all. Instead, it had a special texture that made Chen Ze eat all the fatty pieces without hesitation.

Moreover, under the influence of the Winterberry Spread, the pork became chewier and tasted fresher, not at all like the kind that was fattened up over a few months and then bought for slaughter.

It reminded him more of his grandfather’s free-range pig, which had been raised for over two years.

Chen Ze was extremely pleased with this. If ordinary sliced pork with mashed garlic could create this effect, what about adding it to duck meat?

Chen Ze planned to make a roast duck from Yun Province. Although not as renowned as Beijing roast duck, he felt more confident about the preparation methods for this particular recipe.

Chen Ze checked his phone and saw it was already 7:30 at night. If no customers showed up after a while, he planned to close up and let Betty go home.

After all, he needed to go to the market early the next morning to buy a duck, preferably a good quality one. freewebnøvel.coɱ

He also needed to get ready the oven required for roasting the duck. Although he had heard that a regular oven could be used to make roast duck, he felt that such ducks lacked soul.

"And buy the spices and herbs..." Chen Ze nodded, quickly deciding what he had to do the next day.

"Welcome to the Dream Restaurant, dear customer~" Betty’s voice came through, bringing Chen Ze back to his senses since it seemed they now had a customer.

Chen Ze slapped his face to wake himself up. Having customers was great—if there weren’t any, he was on the verge of falling asleep himself.

"Oh my, is this... is this a cosplay restaurant?" A very pleasant voice asked, though it didn’t sound very loud.

"Nope, I’m a succubus." Betty’s voice sounded even more delighted.

Then Chen Ze curiously peered out, eager to see what the new customer looked like.

There he saw a girl with deep blue hair, an eyepatch over her right eye, wearing a school uniform.

She seemed shocked by Betty’s statement, suddenly covering her right eye with her hand.

"Ah ah ah... the power of the Evil King’s True Eye... I can’t control the power anymore!" The air in the restaurant suddenly became heavy with silence.

The corner of Chen Ze’s mouth twitched—he recognized who this was.

"Explode, reality! Shatter, psyche!" Who hasn’t had a moment of adolescent fantasy?
