My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 373: Chapter two hundred and thirty-three Squirrel Fish

"But speaking of which, the cuisine here is really unique, It feels like it’s from another world," Jack said as he ate the Ice Fish sashimi and then looked at his sister.

"Yeah, when I was in the Nightmare Arena, seeing that huge monster, what I thought of was actually the manager’s cooking," Alice also nodded her head, reflecting how Chen Ze’s cuisine had become the thing she missed the most unconsciously.

"But even though it’s delicious, it’s a bit expensive, and he doesn’t accept point payments either," Jack grimaced, every time he came here to eat, he had to flip through his collection and take out some items from inside.

"Maybe it’s just the manager’s requirement. After all, such delicious fish meat is not found anywhere else," Alice didn’t mind at all since she had many unnecessary items in her collection.

"That’s also true," Jack nodded in agreement, his violent gorilla sister made sense; after all, compared to the synthetic fish meat from other places, the fish meat here was truly a gift.

Chen Ze stood in the kitchen, pondering whether to try a new dish, one with a rather special name that could make people suspect it was made from using two ingredients—Squirrel Fish.

Squirrel Fish is a rather unique dish that generally uses yellow croaker as the main ingredient, although it’s not strictly required, sometimes carp or mandarin fish are used as well.

However, the most commonly used is yellow croaker, which is also a classic dish in Huaxia Cuisine.

"Let’s try it, although I’m not very fond of fish," Chen Ze stretched and then took out the last yellow croaker from the fridge, which he had specifically prepared.

Despite its name, Squirrel Fish has nothing to do with squirrels, just as Wife Cake contains no wife.

It’s called Squirrel Fish because of its shape, although Chen Ze couldn’t see anything squirrel-like about it from the recipe.

This Huaxia dish isn’t difficult to make, and although it was Chen Ze’s first attempt, he worked quickly, and soon, a pleasant aroma started to fill the kitchen.

"Sis, do you smell something?" Jack sniffed, catching a delicious scent in the air.

"I do, seems like fish?" Alice nodded, then put down her chopsticks and swallowed.

"Betty, what is the manager cooking?" Alice called Betty over, asking curiously.

"Okay, I’ll ask," Betty walked into the kitchen, also curious.

"Manager, what are you making?" Betty looked eagerly at Chen Ze.

"Squirrel Fish." Chen Ze poured the thickened sauce over the yellow croaker, and it was done.

[You have made a decent Squirrel Fish, Huaxia Cuisine experience has increased by 5 points]

[You gained the passive effect of Huaxia Cuisine Chef]

[Huaxia Cuisine Chef: Slight improvement in temperature control]

Chen Ze was startled for a moment. The upgrade of Huaxia Cuisine wasn’t that strange; after all, he had been a chef for a long time, and an upgrade was expected. However, the improvement in temperature control confused him a bit.

Chen Ze looked at the Squirrel Fish in front of him, no changes at all, the Squirrel Fish was still just Squirrel Fish, and there was no thermometer or numbers appearing on it.

"I thought a thermometer would appear on the fish or something," Chen Ze shook his head, realizing it was still a very mystical passive effect.

"Can I have a taste?" Betty swallowed, sniffing the enticing aroma, she felt hungrier than ever.

"Sure, let’s eat together," Chen Ze nodded, the Squirrel Fish was just a test dish, after all.

Chen Ze picked up a bit of fish meat, ate it, chewed a few times, and frowned.

The squirrel fish wasn’t bad; it was tender and had a sweet and sour flavor just like the recipe described.

But Chen Ze always felt like it was missing something.

"This is so good!" Betty shoveled rice into her mouth, gobbling down the squirrel fish in her bowl.

"Speaking of which, did you come in just to eat fish?" Chen Ze looked at Betty with half-closed eyes, wondering if she had forgotten something.

"Huh?" Betty paused, then remembered what she’d forgotten just moments ago.

"Cough cough... um... Manager, can I take some fish meat out for Alice and Jack to try?" Betty immediately switched expressions, causing the corners of Chen Ze’s mouth to twitch.

"It really tastes great, but it’s different from sashimi; I feel like this flavor stands out a bit more," Alice tasted a piece.

"Yes, but could you not reach over with your chopsticks?" Jack looked annoyed at Alice. Betty had only brought so much fish meat, yet this violent girl was trying to snatch his portion; it was outrageous. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Manager, let’s settle the bill," Alice said contentedly, rubbing her stomach, feeling finally full.

"Alright," Chen Ze walked out of the kitchen, looking at Jack and Alice with a hint of anticipation.

"This is the payment for this meal. I found this assignment, but..." Alice hesitated.

Chen Ze curiously watched as Alice placed a pocket watch on the table. Another pocket watch, he wondered what use this one had.

"Next mission..." Alice shook her head, still unable to speak, and walked out with Jack, who also seemed in a bad mood.

Chen Ze was stunned for a moment. What’s up with the next mission? Why did he always feel like Alice was setting up a flag?

"Sis, we’ll make it through," Jack earnestly looked at his sister.

"Yes, we definitely will, but did you just curse me in your mind?" Alice smiled and wrapped her arms around her brother’s neck.

"No, I didn’t," Jack lied without changing his expression.

"I’m a Great Knight, damn it!" Alice, with sharp intuition, sensed her brother was lying and angrily ruffled his head.

"Really! I told you, don’t mess with my hair!" Jack grumbled as he straightened his hair, which had been styled with some points.

"Shall we come back for more after the mission’s over?" Alice smiled warmly at her brother.

"Definitely, the two of us, we must come back together!" Jack nodded seriously.

Immediately after, a circle of light enveloped Jack and Alice.

"Target world: Dark Souls 3, this mission is a promotion challenge, overall power reduced by 60%, teleportation starting," the voice cold and emotionless.

Then with a flash of light, Jack and Alice disappeared in this world with only a giant orb of light.
