My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 399: Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty-Nine: Is This How You Eat Da Fu?

Chen Ze rested his chin in his hands, sitting in the kitchen, daydreaming.

Lafra had returned to the negative plane again, for sure because of Hope City, which made Chen Ze feel increasingly like he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot.

"Sigh, I shouldn’t have given those books to Hastur," Chen Ze shook his head, filled with regret.

"Manager, I’m here~" Betty cheerfully bounded in, swinging her bag.

"Eh? Manager, how did you feel about yesterday~" Betty looked at Chen Ze with a mischievous grin, her face full of mischief.

"Not much, watched some movies, played some games, nothing else happened," Chen Ze rolled his eyes, he kind of wished something had happened, but he really was a bit too timid.

"Tch, I thought you might be planning on becoming a daddy soon," Betty made a face that said she was unimpressed, did she look a bit disappointed?

"What’s with that weird face?" Chen Ze’s mouth twitched, Betty was really something, what did that expression even mean?

"Hehe, it’s nothing, I’m going to take a shower and change my clothes." Humming a tune, Betty dashed upstairs, grabbing her bag on the way.

Chen Ze glanced at Betty, isn’t she usually swinging her hands when she comes to work? How come this time she came with a bag?

However, Chen Ze didn’t pay it too much attention; he was busy looking at the news, online news, and there was a new major section lately, the high school examination results section. fгeewebnovёl.com

"The news about the exams is really plentiful," Chen Ze looked at the web page, he heard this year’s national tests seemed easy, and many students were estimated to have scored over six hundred points, but you’d have to wait until the scores were released to know for sure.

[News: It is reported that a netizen with the username "Mingzhi’s Black and White Grid" scored an impressive 692 points in the high school examination after estimating, and the score could be by as much as ten points off. Let’s congratulate this high school student on receiving an acceptance letter to their ideal university.]

Chen Ze was stunned, why did that name seem so familiar? But scoring well was a good thing.

"Hmm... Let’s make some Snowy Mooncakes, they seem quite popular lately." Putting aside his phone, Chen Ze stretched and began preparing to make Snowy Mooncakes.

The name Snowy Mooncakes might sound baffling to some, but anime fans would know it by another name, mochi.

This confection, with its mochi exterior and seasonal fruit filling, enjoyed high popularity, though every time Chen Ze saw the word "mochi," he felt a bit thrown off.

"Why am I thinking of that, uh... the guy who wears a mochi hat and goes ’ummm, hmm,’ ’ummm, hmm’?" Chen Ze’s mouth twitched yet again; it had to be the aftermath of watching "Daily Life" with Lafra yesterday.

After revisiting it, the flamboyant posture and voice of the mochi shop manager etched a deep impression in Chen Ze’s mind, nothing short of a dark memory.

Chen Ze shook his head, discarding the strange thought, then took out a mango, planning on making a mango mochi. It tasted good and, all things considered, was quite decent.

Making mochi wasn’t complex, but getting it just right required some care. However, this time Chen Ze was just trying it out roughly and didn’t get too detailed about it.

[You made ten fairly good mochi, dessert-making experience increased by 30 points.]

[The passive effect of Dessert Master was triggered.]

[The fairly good mochi gained the ’strange posture’ effect.]

Chen Ze touched his nose, his mouth twitching, what the heck was all this? And what was that ’strange posture’ all about? He couldn’t recall thinking of anything odd...

"Wait a second..." Chen Ze paused, he suddenly remembered, the mochi shop manager he’d thought about before...

"Oh my God..." Chen Ze’s face turned dark, then he decided to go against his own morals for the first time and considered throwing away those ten daifuku.

But before he could toss them, Betty squeezed in.

"Eh? Boss, what’s this, a snack? Can I eat it? Is it tasty?" Betty immediately unleashed a triple barrage of questions.

"...The taste should be fine, and eating it is possible, but..." Chen Ze hadn’t finished speaking when Betty, upon hearing it was edible, immediately grabbed a piece of daifuku and threw it into her mouth.

"...There’s a bit of a side effect." Chen Ze finally finished.

"Eh? Hm? Hmmm... Mmm-hmm~" Betty was clearly taken aback, then suddenly couldn’t help but twist around, making strange humming noises as she did so.

"Ah... Even when a woman makes those expressions and movements, it really makes one feel the urge to call the police." The corners of Chen Ze’s mouth twitched.

Betty went through the entire sequence of embarrassing actions and then, covering her face, scurried out.

"Yo, Boss, I’m here, eh? What’s happened to Miss Betty?" Soma Yukihira looked puzzled as he watched Betty leave with her face all red and covered by her hands. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"She ate this." Chen Ze pointed at the daifuku that he hadn’t had the chance to throw away yet.

"This? Daifuku, huh? I eat it often, let me taste how good your cooking is." Soma Yukihira also casually took a piece and popped it into his mouth.

He swallowed it down so quickly that Chen Ze didn’t even have the chance to stop him.

"Mmm, it tastes good, but it still needs... Mmm... Mmm-hmm~" Just like that, after performing the whole series of actions, Soma Yukihira also covered his face.

The series of actions he just went through was too embarrassing; he felt like he couldn’t show his face anymore.

"Oh my... What in the world have you created?" Soma Yukihira had a head full of question marks, having never before encountered daifuku that could have such an effect.

"Er... I don’t really know why, but I think it’s best if I dispose of it as soon as possible." Chen Ze’s mouth twitched, realizing that when making desserts in the future, he must not be distracted or let his mind wander.

"No, please, Boss, you must keep it." Betty quickly interjected.

"Huh?" Chen Ze was utterly confused.

"Seeing the customer Soma Yukihira reacting the same way has inexplicably lifted my spirits quite a bit." A relieved expression appeared on Betty’s face.

Chen Ze stared blankly at Betty, figuring this must be that feeling of relief when you see someone else mess up, so you feel less embarrassed?

"I’m still going to dispose of it, building on the pain of others is just too low." Chen Ze was quite serious.

"No, I think... Miss Betty might actually be right." Soma Yukihira also blocked Chen Ze’s attempt.

"???" You guys are not right in the head!

However, at Soma Yukihira’s strong insistence, Chen Ze didn’t dispose of the daifuku, and Soma Yukihira also took out a dish of his own to offer, the Yukihira-style Tea Rice.

Chen Ze was certainly aware of this dish, as Soma Yukihira had made it after moving into the Polar Star Dormitory, secretly competing with Isshiki.

Chen Ze looked at the eight remaining daifuku and mentally lit a candle for the upcoming customers.
