My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 321: Chapter 181 Alisa Wants to Give a Gift

Chen Ze was somewhat frustrated, as he had already made a whole twelve buns, but not a single one had been acknowledged by the System, meaning there was no evaluation.

"So what exactly is wrong here?" Chen Ze was troubled, having followed the methods found on Baidu to make quite a few Goubuli buns. frёewebnoѵēl.com

But so far, all had been failures, not a single success story, which left Chen Ze a bit conflicted.

"Manager, I’m done eating, time to pay," Alisa said contentedly as she put down her handkerchief. Chen Ze’s cooking was really quite good; at the very least, Alisa couldn’t discern any flaws anymore.

"Alright, Alisa, how do you plan to pay?" Chen Ze came out, but his mind was still preoccupied with the Goubuli buns issue—after all, figuring out how to make them properly was still a big problem.

"Let’s use Gold Coins then. I haven’t received any rare ingredients lately, otherwise I could have paid with ingredients." Alisa may have been lacking in other things, but she certainly had plenty of Gold Coins to spend freely.

"Gold Coins... Then two Gold Coins will do," Chen Ze pondered for a moment before giving her the price.

After all, both dishes were quite tasty, and considering the Sliced Beef in Chili Sauce used Quadruple Speed Master Stock, it was only right that the price be slightly higher.

"Okay, here you go, Manager," Alisa said as she took out two Gold Coins from her pocket and handed them to Chen Ze.

"By the way, Manager, I’m looking to buy a dish suitable for a gift. Do you have any recommendations?" Alisa asked Chen Ze. In a few days, she was going to attend a birthday party for a noble’s daughter and, by all accounts, she ought to bring something.

"A dish as a gift?" Chen Ze was a bit stunned. What kind of unique request was this? Could it be that the recipient was a food enthusiast?

This reminded Chen Ze of a picture featuring a bouquet made from grilled meat and skewers, which he found quite interesting. He thought that instead of giving his girlfriend roses, this bouquet would be more practical.

"Yes, because I have to attend a Duke’s daughter’s birthday party, so I need to bring a gift, but I can’t find anything that she doesn’t already own," Alisa shook her head, which was why she thought of Dream Restaurant.

Facing such a noble, Alisa didn’t have many options; after all, what you have, I have too, what you don’t have, I still possess. Hence, Alisa was hoping to get some help from Chen Ze.

"A gift, huh... Well, I do have one recommendation. Do you want to try it?" Chen Ze suddenly remembered a dessert he had made before for its aesthetic appearance.

"Really? Let me see it then," Alisa sat down again, hoping Chen Ze’s dish would be the perfect solution.

"Sure," Chen Ze nodded and then headed to the kitchen to take out the bowl of stars.

Even though the animation effects on Chen Ze himself were gone, the bowl of stars had been retained, which saved Chen Ze a lot of trouble.

"Alisa, I think I know what it is," Betty touched her Gold Coin pouch, filled with her own share of profits. Based on the current situation, she estimated that in about four more months, she could afford the delicacy she desired.

"So Betty, do you think you would like to receive such a gift?" Alisa turned to Betty and asked her.

"If you, Alisa, were willing to give it to me, I think I’d even marry you," Betty said earnestly, causing Alisa to subconsciously scoot her chair back, distancing herself from Betty.

"Why do I suddenly feel like the atmosphere in the restaurant is a bit off?" Chen Ze glanced briefly around the dining area, Betty’s tone was so serious it even made him shiver.

Chen Ze shook his head and continued to focus on the Starry Sky Cake in his hands, which he had now mastered through practice, although he had made some subtle improvements this time.

After all, the Starry Sky Cake was to be given as a gift, so it needed to be packaged even more beautifully.

"Okay, Alisa, do you think this is suitable?" Chen Ze confidently presented the Starry Sky Cake and then turned off the lights.

In the pitch-black restaurant, the tiny stars immediately captured Alisa’s attention.

"This... this is too beautiful..." Alisa exclaimed in awe.

She had seen many ingredients and tasted numerous dishes, but she had never seen a dish that seemed to bring the starry sky to the table.

"This is the dish I recommend—Starry Sky Cake." Chen Ze was very confident; the current Starry Sky Cake was the most stunning in presentation that Dream Restaurant could offer.

Although it sounded strange, at the moment, Chen Ze really didn’t have any other dish that could compete with the Starry Sky Cake in terms of looks.

"Let’s go with this one, how many Gold Coins?" Alisa was very satisfied, certain that this item would make her stand out at the birthday party.

"Five thousand Gold Coins," Chen Ze replied nonchalantly. Though five thousand was the employee price in his mind, Alisa was a regular customer after all, and she had given him quite a few suggestions.

"All right, here are five thousand Gold Coins. I’ll take the Starry Sky Cake now," declared Alisa decisively, without a moment’s hesitation.

Betty suddenly felt a wave of boldness wash over her, almost making her want to grab Alisa’s leg.

"Welcome to come again next time." Chen Ze took the bag and immediately put it into the cabinet; it was good to keep the Gold Coins, who knew if they might be useful in the future?

"Ah, I feel like the future has slipped through my fingers..." Betty sighed as she watched Alisa leave.

"You’d better clean up this stuff first," Chen Ze rolled his eyes. Although he wasn’t sure what Betty was referring to, she was clearly just joking around.

"Here I come, sorry about that, got held up in the morning," Chen Ze hadn’t even reached the kitchen when he heard Soma Yukihira’s voice.

"Hmm... is this the smell of chili pepper? What else did you add?" Soma Yukihira walked in curiously. Though the scent in the air was faint, he could still smell it.

"Doubanjiang," Chen Ze answered Soma Yukihira’s question succinctly.

"I see... Come on, let me see how your cooking’s coming along," Soma Yukihira patted Chen Ze’s shoulder with vigor.

"Good, so are we still making Mapo Tofu today?" Chen Ze looked forward to it, as having Soma Yukihira there to provide guidance was greatly beneficial for his culinary skills. freewebnøvel.com

"No, redo the dish you just made, I want to see it," Soma Yukihira was interested in the dish Chen Ze had just prepared, as he could tell that Chen Ze was a chef who specialized in Huaxia cuisine, which Soma Yukihira wasn’t very familiar with.

Soma Yukihira was now quite curious and eager to learn more about new culinary knowledge.
