My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 309: Chapter 169 Pikachu’s Thousand Layer Strategy

"What should we eat today, Ash?" Chen Ze tied his headscarf and then looked at Ash and Pikachu sitting by the side.

Of course, there was also the Pokémon following behind Ash—Gengar.

"Let me think, today I’ll have a portion of your special recommendation, Manager, and for Pikachu..." Ash glanced at Pikachu, he always respected his Pokémon’s opinions, so he usually let Pikachu make its own choices.

"Pika, pika~" Pikachu replied loudly to Ash, who then immediately nodded. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Then please prepare an omelette rice for Pikachu, Manager." Watching Ash’s serious face, Chen Ze felt like he was going bald.

He was curious, even the unreasonable Arcane Wisdom couldn’t translate what Pikachu said, how did Ash understand it?

Could it be the passive effect of a super-newcomer?

"And that one following behind you, what does it want to eat?" Chen Ze looked at Ash. Gengar was always following right behind him, and it seemed that Ash didn’t plan to order something for Gengar.

"Eh? Following behind us?" Ash looked back in confusion, only to see Gengar’s big eyes staring straight at him.

"Wow!" Ash exclaimed, but quickly calmed himself down.

"Isn’t this the Gengar we met before? Why are you following us?" Ash was very surprised, he truly didn’t expect Gengar to follow him and Pikachu.

"Pika pika!" Pikachu also curiously looked at Gengar.

"Well... I’m not really sure what Gengar eats, so could you just make something random, Manager?" Ash felt a bit embarrassed.

Chen Ze laughed and didn’t mind, he didn’t quite remember what Gengar ate; after all, this Pokémon was one of those types commonly encountered before its final evolution.

However, Gengar’s final evolution form is quite popular, and Chen Ze used to like training Gengar as his Ghost-type Pokémon.

"But I remember Gengar should be a Ghost and Poison-type Pokémon, right... So that’s why I just smelled a faint sweet scent?" Chen Ze hesitated, wondering if he should restrain Gengar.

This wasn’t to say that Chen Ze planned to capture Gengar as his Pokémon; although he had an empty Pokéball, Chen Ze thought keeping Pokémon would be troublesome for him.

Moreover, Chen Ze was more inclined to raise a Lapras and then train her into a Gardevoir.

Chen Ze was a bit worried whether Gengar, whose body is similar to gas, would cause unnecessary trouble if it entered the kitchen.

"Forget it, just as long as it doesn’t go into the kitchen." Chen Ze shook his head, Gengar after all was a Pokémon he often trained, so he still had a bit of a fondness for it.

So Chen Ze remembered that Gengar seemed to feed on souls, yet he didn’t really have any soul-type ingredients available, so he could only entertain Ash for the time being.

"Let me see, today’s Manager’s Special Meal..." Chen Ze touched his chin thoughtfully.

The Manager’s Special Meal, what it consists of every day, completely depends on Chen Ze himself, so there’s a lot of freedom.

"Let’s go for a braised pork with rice, add a tomato fried egg, and finally finish with a Buffet." Chen Ze clapped his hands satisfactorily and then began cooking Ash’s meal.

Betty watched Gengar, this little fellow was a bit familiar. It wasn’t the kind of familiar feeling from a game, but rather Betty was quite familiar with this type of entity.

An entity of ghostly nature...

In an instant, Betty thought of the Banshee, Soul Reaper, and other notorious creatures from the negative planes.

But this little guy’s energy was really too low, a ghost creature with such low soul energy, it’s very hard for it to survive.

Betty felt that this little guy wouldn’t last more than three days in the negative plane before being devoured by other soul creatures.

Gengar shivered, looking at Betty and subconsciously shrinking behind Ash, because it felt something off about her gaze...

"Betty, come in and serve the dishes," Chen Ze placed a lychee on top of Buffet, then clapped his hands and started to prepare an omelette rice for Pikachu.

"Speaking of which, should I make a regular omelette rice, or a bursting one this time?" Chen Ze hesitated for a second, then decided to make a regular omelette rice.

After all, the last time he’d made a bursting omelette rice, and although it had a good visual effect, Pikachu might prefer the regular omelette rice more.

"Ah~ The manager’s cooking is as good as always~" Ash praised contently, the flavor of this tomato and eggs was truly outstanding.

Tomato and eggs, of course, Ash knew this dish, it could be said to be quite friendly to beginners too.

As long as you’re not so novice as to throw a tomato and an egg together and stir fry them, it’s basically edible.

But Chen Ze’s tomato and eggs were somewhat different from the ones Ash had eaten before, the flavors were fully integrated, a mix of sour and sweet that made Ash take several more bites of rice.

And the braised pork, unlike those light dishes, was bursting with juicy flavor and a rich texture, making it irresistible.

And that white fruit on top of Buffet could be said to be quite delicious, it was one of the best in its fruit category.

"Pikachu, your omelette rice, enjoy," Betty said with a smiling face as she placed the omelette rice in front of Pikachu, then handed him a bottle of ketchup.

After that, she rubbed Pikachu affectionately before letting go with satisfaction.

"Pika~" Pikachu piled on a heap of ketchup and ate with a face full of bliss.

Gengar, curious, floated to the side of Pikachu, then watched Pikachu eat.

"...Pika... Pika?" Pikachu couldn’t bear Gengar’s gaze, and in the end, hesitantly pushed the omelette rice forward a bit.

Then Betty saw Gengar lick the omelette rice with its tongue, followed by it spitting out twice as if it tasted bad.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu was furious, that was his omelette rice! And he’d poured on so much of his favorite ketchup!

But now? After having been licked by Gengar, Pikachu, looking at the obvious saliva mark, completely lost his appetite.

This guy’s messing with me!

That’s what Pikachu was thinking inside. You should know he had specifically pushed a small bit of omelette rice toward Gengar, but this guy... directly licked his own?

"Hey? Pikachu, don’t be angry, I’ll buy you another one," Ash quickly stepped in.

"Pika!" Pikachu was ready to use Thunderbolt.

"Two portions!" Pikachu was ready to use Electric Shock.

"Three portions! That’s the most I can do!"

"Pika~"
