My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 397: Chapter 257: The Dirty Demon King

"What is this?" Tyrande looked at the fried rice in surprise; she had truly never seen such a dish before. freёwebnovel.com

"Dryad Shroom fried rice, it’s made by the manager. Oh, and the manager said there are no animal products in it," Betty remembered Chen Ze’s instructions and took the opportunity to explain.

"Hmm, thank you, to have made such a dish for me." Tyrande sniffed at the plate, confirming there were indeed no signs of any animal products, not even dairy.

"Please enjoy your meal," Betty said with a bow, then she retreated to the side and stood quietly.

Tyrande picked up the spoon, Chen Ze was well aware not every customer was accustomed to using chopsticks - in fact, many visitors from other worlds started off more familiar with spoons.

She scooped up a spoonful of fried rice. Tyrande looked at the clearly black and white dish with some interest, the fragrance of the Dryad Shroom fried rice was very enticing to her appetite.

Tyrande swallowed her saliva and then took a mouthful of the Dryad Shroom fried rice, chewing it slowly.

The first thing she noticed was the burst of savory taste on her taste buds, the rich flavor made Tyrande hum in satisfaction, her toes curling involuntarily.

Moreover, the fried rice was delicious, the black ingredient resembling a mushroom possessed an unbelievably savory taste; one could even say that one bite gave the impression of eating a gourmet delicacy.

Added to that were the green plants, with just a hint of spiciness, making the flavor of the fried rice even better.

"This is... I’ve never tasted mushrooms like this before, I guess only the flavor of Moonlight Mushrooms and Sun Mushrooms could compare," Tyrande licked her lips, regretfully looking at the now empty plate before her, the large serving of fried rice was completely finished.

"Heh," Rose looked disdainfully at Tyrande. The taste of Moonlight Mushrooms was indeed delicious, not to mention the even more difficult to cultivate Sun Mushrooms. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Only a ranger, who has never tasted Moonlight Mushrooms, would express such sentiment.

"Mr. Manager, let’s settle the bill. How many Great Spirit Coins?" Tyrande asked, satisfied after sipping her lemon water - the chilled, sweet and sour juice also suited her palate.

"Sorry, customer, our restaurant doesn’t accept Gold Coins for payment. If possible, ingredients or knowledge, or any interesting items can be used to settle the bill," Chen Ze said with a smile as he walked out, having to explain this to nearly every new customer unless they were someone Chen Ze already knew.

For example, when Naruto first came in, Chen Ze didn’t mention anything else and accepted the currency from the Naruto World.

"Ah? As for ingredients... I have a bag of Exotic Fragrant Fruits here, would that be okay?" Tyrande was a bit hesitant but still took out a bag of fruit and handed it to Chen Ze.

Chen Ze took the bag and examined it – it wasn’t a spatial bag but was filled with purple-red fruits about the size of apples.

Picking up an Exotic Fragrant Fruit, Chen Ze gently squeezed it; it was very soft – he then tore a bit of the skin and took a gentle bite.

The sweet juice immediately flowed in, Chen Ze quickly swallowed eagerly, akin to drinking a 600-milliliter bottle of water when extremely thirsty, and in no time it was gone. Chen Ze paused, looking at the fruit again.

He realized that the Exotic Fragrant Fruit was now empty, its outer skin softly shriveled, with the inner flesh having been like juice, completely drinkable.

"This will do, very nice," said Chen Ze, nodding in satisfaction. Others may not think much of it, but Chen Ze was quite pleased.

Because the taste of the Exotic Fragrant Fruit was like a blend of mango, passion fruit, and guava, very refreshing to the palate, and not causing any discomfort in the throat, seedless too.

"Then thank you. I’ll come to eat again. May the Moon God bless you, respectable Magician," Tyrande said with a smile as she pushed the door open and left.

Chen Ze’s mouth twitched, he wanted to say he really wasn’t any sort of Magician, although by age, he indeed almost qualified as one, but now he had a girlfriend.

"These Moon Elves are just so hypocritical, each one posing as a sage, it’s sickening," Rose said with a look of disgust, but she also put down her chopsticks and placed a wooden statue on the table.

Chen Ze looked at the statue curiously, it appeared to be a monster with the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a spider.

Thinking of the Grey Elves’ faith, Chen Ze had already formed a guess.

"Uh... Miss Rose, this wouldn’t happen to be?" Chen Ze’s mouth twitched, it couldn’t really be...

"Manager, this is an idol of the Spider Queen. It has been worshipped for a long time, and now it can invoke Dark Stab three times a day," Rose explained. Chen Ze thought about it and decided to keep it, as it might come in handy for other customers.

After seeing Rose off, Chen Ze packed a few Goubuli buns for Betty and sent her on her way.

"Hehe, boss, go for it~" Betty looked at Chen Ze with a mischievous grin.

"Go for what?" Chen Ze was clueless.

"You know, this," Betty extended her left hand and made an OK sign, then repeatedly moved the index finger of her right hand in and out.

"..." Chen Ze looked at Betty expressionlessly.

"Huh? You don’t get it, boss? It’s this!" Betty sped up her motion.

"Cut it out, damn it!" Chen Ze’s face darkened.

Having sent away Betty, who was increasingly resembling a lewd king, Chen Ze closed the door somewhat speechless, locked it, and wondered where on earth Betty had learned such things.

"You’re not open for business?" A gentle voice spoke, and Chen Ze turned to see Lafra walking down from the second floor in a red nightgown.

Looking at Lafra’s pristine collarbone, Chen Ze swallowed hard, feeling he was increasingly losing control.

"Yeah, today I wanted to spend a bit more time with you," Chen Ze said with a smile as he took off his headscarf and laid it on the table.

"I’m hungry~" Lafra pouted, took Chen Ze’s hand, and sat down.

"Sure, what would you like to eat?" Chen Ze asked, playfully rubbing Lafra’s nose.

"Eat you~" Lafra looked at Chen Ze with flushed cheeks.

The atmosphere of the entire restaurant suddenly changed, silence enveloped the room, and the sound of a heartbeat could even be heard.

"Just kidding~ I want to eat, I mean your food," Lafra said with a smile, sticking out her tongue.

"Phew... Okay, then wait for me a bit," Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a mysterious sense of disappointment, but still went into the kitchen to start thinking about what would be good to make.

"Sun Mushroom... add a bit of ham, let’s make Sun Mushroom ham fried rice," Chen Ze clapped his hands and settled on the idea.
