Chapter 467: Chapter 327: The Upgrade of Noodle and Dumpling Dishes Skills
"Your noodle dish is really something else..." Chen Ze was quite surprised as he looked at Lin Yi; the taste of the noodles was genuinely superb, at least Chen Ze had rarely tasted such delicious noodles.
They were not too salty upon the first bite, but richly flavored; as he chewed, it seemed like the noodles had absorbed all the seasoning, brimming with satisfaction.
"It’s alright, if I use the expression from our place, it’s just ’practice makes perfect.’" Lin Yi scratched his head, not paying it much mind; to him, this bowl of noodles was just performing at his normal level.
After all, for someone who had lived alone for over five years, having cooking skills was nothing out of the ordinary.
"So, how about this? My restaurant doesn’t accept currency, so for this meal, if it’s okay with you, let’s exchange it for your noodle recipe. How does that sound?" Chen Ze thought for a moment and then offered his proposal.
In fact, Chen Ze felt the proposal was fair; after all, he had spent a Red Potion to save someone, though he never intended to coerce Lin Yi with that method.
To his surprise, Lin Yi agreed without hesitation, which baffled Chen Ze as he hadn’t expected Lin Yi to accept.
After all, this was a skill that could allow him to open his own noodle shop, and it would definitely be a hit. Such delectable noodles were few and far between in Chen Ze’s experience.
"Here’s the recipe; I’ve written it down." Lin Yi set down the pen, and Chen Ze glanced at it, feeling much relieved.
It was written in Chinese characters. Although Chen Ze had suspected the man might also be a visitor from Parallel Earth after hearing him speak the local dialect, seeing the characters still provided him with considerable relief.
"Okay, thank you." Chen Ze took the recipe and put it away; with it, the noodles he made in the future would be even more delicious.
"Thank you, then... should I be going?" Lin Yi’s eyes flickered, and he looked around uneasily.
"Hmm, yes, please take care, and you’re welcome to come again next time." Chen Ze smiled and then saw Lin Yi out.
But the expression Lin Yi had when he left was really something Chen Ze wanted to tease.
"To be honest, Manager, if I didn’t know any better, I’d think our restaurant was full of landmines," Betty couldn’t help but comment right after Lin Yi had left.
"Hmm, indeed it looked a bit like that." Chen Ze covered his face helplessly and rubbed it.
Lin Yi’s demeanor was just too funny; as he walked, he continuously tested the ground with his feet before relaxing and taking the next step.
On the other side, Lin Yi looked back at the disappearing wooden door and scratched his head. It seemed he really did make it out alive, but now the most important thing was to hurry to the hospital for a checkup.
"There probably isn’t anything serious." Lin Yi yawned, thinking it’s no wonder people often say that good health is the greatest wealth—such a true saying.
Chen Ze stood in the kitchen, ready to try making a bowl of noodles to see what kind of reviews he could get for it.
"Shoot, I forgot to ask that customer’s name," Chen Ze twitched the corner of his mouth, as he had wanted to name those noodles after the customer.
"Forget it, I’ll ask next time." Chen Ze shook his head, then started preparing to make the bowl of noodles he had just eaten.
[You have made a perfect bowl of noodles, your Noodle and Dumpling Dishes cooking experience increased by 15 points]
[You have acquired the Passive Effect of a Noodle and Dumpling Dishes Master]
[The speed of making noodle and dumpling dishes has once again increased]
Chen Ze rubbed his nose; this damn System never optimized anything. Every time there was a notification, it came with a physical hit. Chen Ze felt that, at this rate, his nose would surely break sooner or later.
"But this is also a good thing, although the method of notification isn’t really the best," Chen Ze shook his head and then dismissed the three notification windows.
The increased speed of making noodle and dumpling dishes was certainly positive. As far as Chen Ze knew, some noodle dishes required that the faster they were made, the better. Perhaps he could try to challenge those dishes in the future.
"Betty, come in for a meal," Chen Ze clapped his hands, leaving the bowl of braised noodles for Betty.
"Long live the Manager~" Betty cheered as she ran in, her face brimming with happiness.
Chen Ze glanced at Betty; she squinted so blissfully while eating the braised noodles that one might think she was crying.
Chen Ze shook his head, didn’t continue to pay attention to her, and started to look at his menu.
"Dear viewers and gentlemen, welcome to Hastur’s live streaming room~" Hastur, dressed in a cosplay outfit, waved cutely, reaping a large amount of Ah Wei’s scattered flowers.
"Today Hastur will play ’Paperman 2,’ a recently popular game with everyone. However, considering I haven’t played the prequel, I will start with ’Paperman 1,’ okay?" Hastur flashed her little tiger teeth and then skillfully opened the game library to buy the game.
As for the curse words from some trolls in the live stream, Hastur didn’t care about them but instead let the moderator handle it.
Actually, Hastur never got angry because, for Them, the opinions of mortals weren’t really worth taking seriously. It was like would a human care about what ants think of them? freewebnovel.cσ๓
However, Hastur still encountered a very troublesome issue.
"Eh? The official peeps of the broken station invited me to participate in the New Year’s Eve party?" Hastur looked bewildered at the video call screen after ending the live stream.
"Yeah, Hastur, it’s a great opportunity! The last New Year’s Eve party on the broken station went viral. Your influence will be even greater afterward," on the other side of the video was Hastur’s first moderator and one of the few who had Hastur’s private number.
"But... um..." Hastur looked down, twiddling their thumbs nervously.
This scene made the other side barely resist the urge to take a screenshot; even though she was a woman, Hastur was irresistibly tempting at that moment.
Hastur was somewhat troubled; it was the first time They had been so mired in worry, as this kind of situation was really asking too much of someone.
Hastur even thought about opening the app Quora to ask how to attend a New Year’s Eve party in an alternate world.
"I’ll... think about it a little more!" Hastur couldn’t think of a solution and, after explaining the situation to the moderator, hastily turned off the computer. They needed to go ask Chen Ze for advice posthaste.
After all, in this period, quite a few people had wanted to sign contracts with Them, but They couldn’t refuse every time. Those were all tempting Blue Talisman, Diamonds, gold ingots, and Point Coupons!
Hastur glanced at their internet cable, aware that there existed a supreme being there, but those things really were very tempting... freewёbnoνel.com
Suddenly, Hastur thought that perhaps in the future they could introduce some new types of currency to Hope City, to improve those fellows’ enthusiasm?
