My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 440: Chapter 300 Gin: Uncle, I’m really angry now

"It does look a bit alike, but a closer look tells you it’s not," Gin commented as he glanced briefly at the little girl before focusing back on his Thunderbrew Lager in hand.

One had to admit, the cosplaying waiter who recommended the drink definitely had a knack for it—the flavor was quite good, with no other issues.

Gin was quite satisfied and couldn’t help but finish his drink in one go before ordering another Thunderbrew Lager.

Chen Ze returned to the kitchen and placed the grilled eel rice on the counter before calling Betty to serve it.

"Let’s see... Vodka ordered chestnut rice from the frozen sea, with a side of pan-fried dumplings and a soft-boiled egg," Chen Ze craned his neck, finding the first two dishes quite straightforward, but the soft-boiled egg... freēwēbnovel.com

He certainly knew what it was; supposedly, its origins lay in cooking eggs in hot springs, hence the name. However, it differed significantly from a normal boiled egg.

Normally, a boiled egg is fully cooked, both white and yolk, while a soft-boiled egg has a slightly set yolk with a runny white.

As for the taste... well, Chen Ze thought that was subjective. Personally, he wasn’t a fan. If he were to eat eggs, he’d opt for fried eggs, preferably with a bit of crispiness to them.

"I remember that cooking soft-boiled eggs requires temperature control, ideally between sixty to seventy degrees Celsius," Chen Ze eyed the pots in the kitchen, confident in his heightened temperature sensitivity.

Having been taught by Joichiro Yukihira about temperature, Chen Ze felt he could make a soft-boiled egg without a kitchen thermometer.

Chen Ze started boiling water, while also working on the chestnut rice from the frozen sea and the pan-fried dumplings.

The dumplings were sure to be a side dish, but Chen Ze knew how much the Japanese enjoyed their dumplings as a main, so he paid it no mind.

Soon enough, Chen Ze had both dishes ready. He also took out the soft-boiled egg, cracked it into a small dish, and poured some Japanese soy sauce over it.

"Next up is Gin’s order," Chen Ze rotated his neck with ease, "excluding the natto, it’s a curry chicken rice, a serving of Magical Mapo Tofu, and a bowl of miso soup." These posed no difficulty either.

"This... looks delicious..." Vodka couldn’t help but swallow as he gazed at his chestnut rice from the frozen sea; he had been salivating uncontrollably since the dish was placed before him.

"Strange color, but it smells great," Gin gave the chestnut rice a glance before continuing with his Thunderbrew Lager.

"I’ll dig in!" Vodka picked up his chopsticks, put some chestnut rice into his mouth, and the very next second, couldn’t help but hum in approval.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Gin felt a chill run down his spine.

"It’s so delicious! Boss! I’ve never had chestnut rice this good before!" Vodka looked ecstatic, the flavor of the chestnut rice from the frozen sea surpassing all expectations.

Conan took a look from the side, inwardly struggling with how to plant a listening device on Gin.

Meanwhile, Ai Haibara had been pulled aside by Ayumi Yoshida to whisper secrets—according to Ayumi, a girls-only secret.

"...Haibara-san is getting prettier by the day~" Mitsuhiko Tsuratani was gazing with an awestruck look.

"She really looks like a big star," Kojima Genta was also amazed, even slowing down with his eel rice.

"Sigh... I’m such an idiot," Conan shook his head, then took another spoonful of his curry rice.

"The dumplings are delicious too, Big Brother!" Vodka added another comment. Gin paid no attention to what he thought, but the tempting aroma in the air kept burrowing into his nose.

"Sir, here is your curry chicken rice and mapo tofu." Betty served Gin the food he ordered, then stepped back to the side.

This time, Chen Ze made ordinary mapo tofu, not the glowing Magical Mapo Tofu, as that would have been too eye-catching.

Gin quickly picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of curry chicken rice, and before putting it in his mouth, couldn’t help but swallow saliva again.

The strong curry scent assailed Gin’s sense of smell, making him almost too eager to put the spoon in his mouth.

As soon as he took a bite, a particularly intense curry flavor hit him, spicy yet irresistible. Gin ate faster and faster, and in no time, he had polished off half the plate, leaving Vodka beside him staring, dumbfounded.

Moreover, for some reason, after eating, Gin felt a warm sensation from the inside out, comforting and heartwarming.

Then Gin scooped up a spoonful of mapo tofu; the numbing and spicy flavor was also very strong, constantly making Gin drool, thinking otherwise his drool might actually trickle out of his mouth.

"It seems Gin and Vodka are quite the foodies..." Conan, spying from one side, mentally tagged Gin.

But he quickly dismissed the thought, as this might be an exception. The flavors at Chen Ze’s restaurant were simply too delicious, and after eating there, everything else seemed somehow substandard.

"But it’s still pretty rare though," Haibara Ai commented softly.

"What is?" Conan asked, looking puzzled at Haibara. freeweɓnøvel.com

"That expression of Gin’s." Instead of speaking, Haibara sent a text to Conan.

Conan lifted his head to look, and it was indeed strange because it appeared Gin was smiling?

Even though it was just the corners of his mouth slightly lifting, to Haibara, it felt like "He’s smiling! He’s laughing maniacally!"

"The taste is really not bad..." By the time Gin came back to his senses, he had finished all of the dishes.

"Right, Big Brother, I told you the food at this restaurant is super amazing." Vodka had finished eating a while ago, and since he was full, he did not feel envious watching Gin eat.

"Hmm, the check," Gin nodded. For a moment, he even considered using the organization’s power to take ownership of the restaurant under the organization’s name.

But Gin was still Gin; he controlled his emotions, refraining from doing such a thing.

"Sure, but sir, our establishment does not accept currency for payment. You can use ingredients or interesting objects to pay," Chen Ze said with a smile as he walked out.

"Oh? How intriguing. May I ask why that is?" Gin looked at Chen Ze with interest.

"Because our restaurant is not ordinary. You’ll find when you go outside that you’ve come here from another world," Chen Ze said outright, certain of the fact that could be checked.

"I see... then I’ll give you this. I don’t have anything else at hand for the time being," Gin said as he pulled out a handgun from his jacket and shot Chen Ze at point-blank range.
