Chapter 378: Chapter 238 So the Hardest Thing
"*cough cough cough*... Lafra... what are you talking about?" Chen Ze patted his chest, feeling he must have been so excited that he was hallucinating.
"I said, what position do you like?" Lafra repeated it again, and this time Chen Ze heard it very clearly; he had not misheard, and it was indeed what she meant.
"Uh, isn’t this a bit too fast?" Chen Ze licked his lips, which felt a bit dry.
"Huh? It’s not too fast. It’s just a matter of one night," Lafra said as she gently hugged Chen Ze, rubbing against his chest.
"Um..." Chen Ze was a bit flustered. He felt completely dizzy now. He had thought at most he’d get to third base, and he’d probably need a few months to achieve that, but all of a sudden, it seemed like Lafra was going for a home run.
"This thing can enhance your stamina, but you just need to rub it on your body, and then try to maintain a position for an entire night," Lafra said as she took out a little bottle from her bosom and shook it at Chen Ze.
"Huh?"
"Boss, you seem to be in a bad mood," Betty leaned against the wall, curiously looking at Chen Ze.
"I’m fine, I’m not," Chen Ze’s mouth twitched; he’d just suffered through a truly awkward moment.
Chen Ze had thought he was going to hit a home run tonight, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Fortunately, Lafra didn’t know, and then she went upstairs to study. Although she said she was studying, Chen Ze knew that Lafra was actually watching cartoons, planning to learn those cutesy tactics from the cartoons and use them on him.
"Does she really think I’d fall for that?" Chen Ze was indifferent.
"I totally fall for that sort of thing!!!" Chen Ze recalled the expression Lafra made when she acted cute, and he felt his heart flutter.
"By the way, boss, what’s the hardest food in the world?" Betty asked, curious, leaning over the kitchen window.
"Food?" Chen Ze was taken aback, he’d never thought about that question before.
"If we don’t consider ingredients from other worlds, then the hardest should be ba..." Chen Ze frowned and did not continue.
Although baguettes are indeed very hard and can even be used for self-defense, they are not the hardest food ingredient after all. It’s said that a type of bread in the Soviet Union could even kill a person.
But these are not the hardest foods. After all, if soaked in milk, even these breads can become soft.
However, there really is such a food in the world, with a hardness that is indeed exceptional.
That would be bonito flakes.
Although it is called bonito, it’s actually not bonito and is generally made from skipjack tuna, which requires a series of processes to be turned into bonito flakes.
And indeed, the hardness of bonito flakes is formidable; they can be used to chop against a stick, breaking the stick, and often, a planer is needed to eat the bonito flakes.
"It’s the bonito flakes, the hardest food I know of so far," Chen Ze said with certainty this time, nodding his head.
"Then, boss, do you know what dishes you can make with bonito flakes?" Betty’s interest was immediately piqued; the hardest food, how to eat it must be an interesting matter.
"They are generally used to make broth, but eating them directly is also possible," Chen Ze remembered the octopus balls he’d had when shopping before, which had some thin slices on top—that was bonito flakes.
"Boss~" Betty looked at Chen Ze with pleading eyes.
"Don’t even think about it, it’s not that complicated to make, but it requires specialized equipment which I haven’t bought yet," Chen Ze rolled his eyes. Betty was getting greedier by the day, and Chen Ze even wondered if he had somehow summoned a glutton demon.
"Eh..." Betty looked utterly disappointed. She had heard of Takoyaki, but never expected she wouldn’t be able to eat it.
"If you really want to eat something, we might as well make the simplest dish—bonito-flake topped tofu," Chen Ze sighed in resignation.
"Ah, Kami-sama!" Seeing Betty starting to mess around again, the corners of Chen Ze’s mouth twitched.
Nonetheless, he took out the bonito flakes. When he bought Japanese seasonings before, he had picked up some bonito flakes as well.
Bonito-flake topped tofu is quite simple, and bonito flakes serve more as a garnish than a main ingredient, similar to the bonito flakes on Takoyaki.
Chen Ze worked quickly because this dish wasn’t difficult at all, so he planned to make quick work of it.
"Master! I’m here!" An energetic voice called out, and Chen Ze knew from the title that it was Naruto.
"Naruto, what have you been up to lately? Why has it been so long since your last visit?" Chen Ze popped his head out and asked, while Betty poured him a glass of Coke.
"Thanks, Sister Betty! Master, I’ve been attending ninja school recently, and it’s so boring," Naruto pouted. He had reached the age to start school, but he found the classes uncomfortable.
"What’s the matter? You have magic, so there shouldn’t be any issues, right?" Chen Ze kept his head down, swiftly cutting the tofu.
"I’m at the bottom of the class, and the Third Hokage Grandpa doesn’t let me use magic, says it’s to keep it a secret," Naruto said, leaning on the table with evident discomfort.
Chen Ze started to chop the green onions, and the tofu was put into the pot.
"Why won’t he let you use it?" Chen Ze was curious. Although magic was indeed a strange thing and didn’t quite fit in with the ninja world, it didn’t make sense to completely forbid its use.
"The Third Hokage Grandpa said I can’t use it until I’m able to defend myself," Naruto said, taking a sip of his Coke.
"The ability to defend oneself, huh..." Chen Ze smacked his lips, considering that Naruto had the Nine-Tails inside him, he should be capable of self-defense.
However, thinking of the future Shinobi World War and those near-mythical figures, it seemed that slaughtering a Tailed Beast wasn’t all that difficult, let alone dealing with Uchiha Obito.
"Naruto, do you want to meet the friend inside your body?" Chen Ze asked with a smile, looking at the oblivious Naruto.
"Eh? I have a friend inside me?" Naruto jumped to his feet and began frantically searching himself.
"Stop searching, there is one indeed, but it’s not seen that way," Lafra came down, smiling gently.
"Teacher!" Naruto happily threw himself into Lafra’s embrace. freewebnovel.cσ๓
"All right, all right, I’ll take you to meet that friend," Lafra stroked Naruto’s head, and then immediately transported them to an unfamiliar place.
"Teacher, where is this?" Naruto looked around curiously.
"This is where your friend lives. See, your friend is inside this iron cage," Lafra said with a smile, pointing ahead.
Naruto then saw a large fox lying on the ground, looking at him with a troubled expression.
"Wow! A fox!" Naruto’s voice echoed in the space for the first time.
