Chapter 414: Chapter Two Hundred and Seventy-Four: Four Signatures
"It’s all meat indeed, I just love it. But such small pieces of meat, I feel like I could eat them in one bite," Sebastian said contentedly. Although the pork knuckle was indeed just one bite for him, he had eaten here many times before and knew how to enjoy it properly, so he remained composed.
"Sebastian, what you said there, if we were to cater to a dragon’s appetite, I’m afraid I’d have to make a roast whole cow to satisfy you guys," Chen Ze rolled his eyes, Sebastian’s appetite was indeed huge.
In fact, if it weren’t for customers like Sebastian, Chen Ze would have started an eating contest without any hesitation, but the problem was, he didn’t have the energy to organize such a contest because of these customers whose appetites were limitless. freewebnøvel.coɱ
After all, if he couldn’t even grasp a sense of balance, organizing an eating contest would be very difficult.
"Hehe, I can eat three whole roasted cows, but of course, if it’s roast thunder lizards, two would be enough for me," Sebastian patted his stomach proudly. He was quite eager to try Chen Ze’s roast whole cow, but obviously, Chen Ze wasn’t bringing that dish out yet.
So, after rambling for a bit, Sebastian couldn’t wait and directly grabbed a pork knuckle with his hand, taking a big bite.
Not everyone likes pork knuckle, but Chen Ze personally enjoys this dish quite a bit. The main reason is that pork knuckle is different from other pork cuts; it’s fatty without being greasy. The parts that looked like fat were actually very chewy and tasted quite good.
At the first bite, Sebastian tasted the rich meat flavor, followed by a very chewy texture, and with the broth that Chen Ze had simmered for a long time, the flavor of the pork knuckle burst forth, increasing his appetite even more.
And Betty, who was sitting nearby, was clearly stunned because she noticed that Moriarty hadn’t eaten the last bite of the light cheesecake on his plate for a long time. It was clear that Moriarty wasn’t lacking money or unable to pay the bill, so he must have been pondering something.
"Is this a Dragon?" was the only thought in Moriarty’s mind. In fact, he had been nearby the whole time, so naturally, he had also heard Chen Ze’s conversation and immediately realized Sebastian’s identity, a dragon.
Moriarty didn’t think Chen Ze had any reason to collude with a customer to deceive him, which meant that this customer who recently had a lizard tail must be the dragon he had imagined.
Moriarty’s curiosity grew stronger, because this was a dragon!
If ghosts only exist in urban legends or ghost stories, then dragons are something every Westerner knows about - powerful and greedy, breathing fire, kidnapping princesses, and eventually being beheaded by brave knights who then take away the princess and the dragon’s treasure.
"Manager, why is this customer always staring at me?" Sebastian was a bit annoyed, being an ancient dragon, he could sense other people’s gazes, especially since Moriarty kept sneaking peeks at him, which was even more obvious.
"Hmm, because he’s just an ordinary human and probably has never seen a dragon before," Chen Ze, of course, knew who Sebastian was referring to. Luckily, Sebastian used a kind of telepathic magic, otherwise Moriarty would have definitely heard him.
"Tsk, these humans are so boring. Aren’t dragons a very common creature? I see several just by waking up from a nap," Sebastian snorted and continued eating his pork knuckle.
Chen Ze was a bit speechless. If Moriarty’s world had dragons everywhere, it would indeed be terrifying, probably like a magically altered version of Holmes.
But Moriarty didn’t keep staring at Sebastian. After all, he was a university professor, so his ability to accept these things was strong, especially since he already knew that Chen Ze’s restaurant was not quite normal.
"Manager, I’m finished eating. If Ronna comes by, please give her this book," Moriarty stood up and then took out a book from his pocket. Chen Ze noticed that it wasn’t in English but seemed to be in French, showing that Professor Moriarty had really put thought into it.
"Sure, no problem. When Ronna arrives, I’ll pass it on to her," Chen Ze nodded and then took the book from him.
"And this is for my meal." Moriarty smiled as he pulled out another book from his pocket. This one was in English and looked somewhat similar to the study of blood scripts that Moriarty had given to Chen Ze last time.
"What’s this?" Chen Ze asked, surprised and yet somewhat expectant.
"This is ’The Sign of Four’ by Dr. Watson. I thought you would like it, so I bought it for you," Moriarty indeed said the answer that Chen Ze had guessed.
"Thank you, I’m very satisfied with this," Chen Ze said as he took "The Sign of Four" and tucked it into his pocket.
Moriarty then left, apparently in a hurry.
"Manager, so you like these kinds of books, huh? ’The Sign of Four’? That’s a strange name, but if you want, I can also bring you a book written by a master from our place," Sebastian was already on his second knuckle, eating at an incredibly fast pace, with each bite making the knuckle noticeably smaller.
"What book?" Chen Ze was curious.
"’Magic Potion Studies, Beginning with One Hundred Thousand Experiments,’ and another one, ’Simply Talking about the Uses of Sorrow Grass,’ which is eight thousand pages thick. I have both of them," Sebastian recited a long list, to which Chen Ze immediately shook his head without hesitation.
"Oh, Manager, could you make me another of what was it... Spicy Blind Monk? I’ll take it back for Riesel and Dragone," Sebastian licked his lips.
"Huh? Okay," Chen Ze glanced at Betty, who was trying to sneak away, and immediately understood what was happening.
Next, Chen Ze quickly made an extra-large portion of spicy crawfish, then packed it in a takeout box and had Betty carry it out, while he also rejected Betty’s request to have a taste.
"I don’t know how to make a Spicy Blind Monk, so don’t go randomly making up dish names next time," Chen Ze rolled his eyes, realizing Betty had lately started playing League of Legends.
"Hehe, won’t happen again," Betty laughed awkwardly.
"Manager, time to settle the bill, this is for my meal," Sebastian took the spicy crawfish and then handed a small bag to Chen Ze.
The moment Chen Ze took it, he felt a very familiar warmth, it seemed to be Sun Mushroom.
