My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 494: Chapter 354: The Winery’s Common Meal Expenses

Orange Liquor eyed the dish in front of her with great curiosity, the plate covered by a lid that concealed its contents. She pondered for a moment; she didn’t recall ordering anything that required such presentation.

"Guest, this is your Magical Mapo Tofu, please enjoy." Betty lifted the lid, and a blinding light emanated from within, causing Orange Liquor to instinctively close her eyes.

Apple Liquor squinted, initially assuming some kind of lamp was hidden inside, but upon opening, he realized that the dish itself was glowing. This was truly astonishing; even within his organization, he had never encountered a dish that emitted light.

"Truly... astonishing," Orange Liquor remarked in awe. As the lid came off, the entire aroma of the Magical Mapo Tofu wafted out, causing Orange Liquor’s stomach to grumble with anticipation.

"Guest, this is your Pork Bone Ramen, a double portion, along with the minced garlic provided by Mr. Chen Ze which you may add as you please," Betty placed the Japanese pork bone ramen on the table, along with a small bowl containing Chen Ze’s prepared minced garlic.

"This is a complimentary dessert from our restaurant, Mango Mousse, please enjoy," Betty cheerfully placed the mango mousse on the table, then walked away with her tray.

"Orange... Makigawa Maaya, how do you feel..?" Apple Liquor swallowed hard, then turned to ask his companion.

However, as soon as he turned, Apple Liquor saw Orange Liquor devour her food with big bites, her face brimming with blissful satisfaction, appearing utterly enchanted.

"..." Apple Liquor was at a loss for words, but still picked up his chopsticks and tried a mouthful of the ramen.

The ramen noodles, cooked to perfect firmness, combined with the exceptionally delicious broth, unexpectedly gave Apple Liquor the taste of junk food, a flavor so marvelous that he found it hard to contain himself.

Yet, Apple Liquor felt something was missing from the bowl of ramen, but he couldn’t identify what it was, which frustrated him.

Still, with resolute will, he scooped up some minced garlic and added it to his bowl, accustomed to enjoying ramen with garlic.

Garlic isn’t everyone’s favorite, known for its peculiar taste and a side effect of bad breath, but Apple Liquor didn’t care and ate with nonchalance.

The spicy taste of the garlic, Apple Liquor unexpectedly discovered, paired perfectly with the Pork Bone Ramen, enhancing its flavor and making it exceptionally palatable. He could now empathize with his companion’s sentiment; faced with such delicious cuisine, he too didn’t feel like responding.

"Superbly comforting!" Apple Liquor placatedly put down his chopsticks, the double-sized bowl of ramen had lasted less than fifteen minutes in his hands. He had never tasted such incredible ramen.

"Indeed, it’s very delicious," Orange Liquor licked her lips, equally fond of the dishes. No wonder Gin had previously mentioned the exceptional taste of this restaurant’s cuisine, inciting a feeling of never wanting to leave after eating. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Mr. Manager, we’d like to pay," Orange Liquor waved her hand, having just collected a small sample of the dish with three little plastic tubes, planning to analyze it later.

"Certainly, guests, our restaurant does not accept yen, so you may use interesting items or ingredients in exchange," Chen Ze came out smiling, then noticed Orange Liquor pulling out a familiar-looking large bag with recognizable Japanese branding.

Chen Ze’s mouth twitched, that bag... that familiar packaging...

"Alright, this is our payment, top-grade Wagyu beef, you should be pleased, Manager," and indeed, Orange Liquor mentioned the four words "top-grade Wagyu beef."

For a moment, Chen Ze considered turning these two over to Conan, but then he thought the top-notch Wagyu beef was also a rare culinary ingredient, so he accepted it.

"We will be back, Manager," Orange Liquor smiled, then left with Apple Liquor.

"...I don’t even know what these people think about all day. Gin gives Wagyu beef, and these two also get Wagyu beef. Does the distillery have a Wagyu cattle farm too?" Chen Ze pulled out a large bag of beef from the bag.

However, Chen Ze was quite satisfied. The beef looked good, and the quality seemed excellent.

Chen Ze stored the Wagyu beef in the warehouse stone, then returned to the kitchen and lifted the lid of the pot to take a peek.

That’s when he discovered that the Dragon Worms, which had been freely swimming inside, were now completely gone.

The clear water in the pot had turned milky white, almost the same color as the Dragon Worms before.

"Did they just... dissolve in the cooking?" Chen Ze was a bit stunned, but he still decided to scoop out a bit to taste.

Chen Ze took a spoonful to taste, smacked his lips, and noted that the soup mysteriously tasted a bit like milk, but at least the overwhelming aromatic ’spice bomb’ was gone.

"No good... Dragon Worms are not suitable for soup; it always turns out a bit odd," Chen Ze shook his head and sighed.

If the taste of steamed Dragon Worms was a hundred out of a hundred, then the Dragon Worm broth could only score fifty, and that fifty was given mainly because of the Dragon Worms themselves.

Chen Ze could only regretfully store the pot of soup in the warehouse stone; perhaps it would be useful in the future, but for now, he hadn’t figured out how to deal with it.

"Manager, there were a lot of customers today," Betty popped in.

"What’s up?" Chen Ze glanced at Betty, who usually had ulterior motives for coming over.

"Hehe, it’s just that... I was wondering what I should eat for weight loss?" Betty looked at Chen Ze with hope. In her eyes, since Chen Ze never gained weight, there was no reason she should either.

"Vegetables, I guess... and then eat less starchy food," Chen Ze pondered for a moment; he hadn’t really thought about this issue before.

But who hasn’t eaten pork or at least seen a pig?

In today’s society, if you can develop two things, you could become a billionaire: one is diet pills, and the other is hair growth products.

"I see..." Betty walked out, deep in thought.

Chen Ze glanced at his phone. It was about time to get off work, and he also wanted to spend some more time with Lafra today.

"Betty, let’s call it a day," Chen Ze yawned.

"Okay, Manager!" Betty, who had just been pondering, immediately dashed upstairs.

Chen Ze’s mouth twitched, and he shook his head, choosing not to bother with Betty.

After seeing Betty off, turning off the lights, and locking the door, another day had ended. He just wondered what tomorrow would be like.
