My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 520: Chapter 380 Tarzan

Huaxia people’s love for chicken feet can be seen from the international import and export volumes. The chicken feet are mostly imported and have never been exported, which foreigners consider inedible; however, in the hands of Huaxia people, they transformed like magic into an unimaginable delicacy.

"Braised chicken feet are actually quite simple. I just need to wash the chicken feet thoroughly and then toss them into the braising pot," Chen Ze mused as he changed his clothes, pondering the task at hand.

"Lafra, I’m stepping out for a bit," said Chen Ze, stretching languidly before he tidied up his attire and walked out.

"Okay~" Lafra replied with a sweet smile.

"Betty, if any customers come in, have them wait a moment," Chen Ze instructed Betty before he finally pushed the door open and left.

"Hmph!" Lafra huffed and squeezed the cola can into a tiny ball with one forceful grip.

Betty felt a shiver through the entire Magic Capital, feeling as if she had just been crumpled into a small ball like that cola can.

"Oh, Manager, dear Manager!" Betty lamented inwardly. From Lady Lafra’s expression, she understood what was amiss.

It was definitely because the Manager, a straight man, hadn’t addressed Lafra with any special titles, which upset Lady Lafra merely by calling her in the same manner as everyone else.

Truly, the Manager’s plight was long-standing!

Betty’s thoughts were unbeknownst to Chen Ze, who was now holding black sunglasses and shopping for chicken feet at the supermarket.

"Maybe I should buy a gift for Lafra as well. But now that I think about it..." Chen Ze paused, realizing he really didn’t know what Lafra liked.

"Vampire..." Chen Ze scratched his head. Based on what movies and TV shows depicted, vampires seemed to be interested only in fresh blood, paying little attention to anything else.

"Somehow, I feel like buying pig’s blood to make blood curd would get me a step from Lafra, a super painful one," Chen Ze looked down at his foot apprehensively. For the safety of his own foot, it was probably best not to give her that.

"Chicken feet... seem to be no problem," Chen Ze thought he must look like a lunatic, picking and choosing so meticulously.

Then Chen Ze bagged up all the chicken feet from the freezer, and, opting for sanity, settled on a more conventional Valentine’s Day gift.

"I’m back," announced Chen Ze as he stepped through the door, immediately feeling as if he had walked into the wrong place.

"Manager!" Fortunately, Betty’s call confirmed that this was indeed his restaurant.

"What happened here?" Chen Ze slowly made his way over, then pushed at the brown bear blocking his path.

Yes, a brown bear. Chen Ze had no idea why there would be a brown bear in his restaurant, not to mention monkeys, gorillas, and some other bizarre animals whose names Chen Ze couldn’t even recall.

"A guest...he insisted on bringing all these animals in with him," Betty said helplessly, as the already small restaurant was completely packed.

"Where’s Lafra?" Chen Ze pushed past a gorilla. All the animals were trembling on the ground, too frightened to move.

"Lady Lafra is over there," directed Betty, pointing in a certain direction.

Chen Ze then saw Lafra sitting unhappily in a chair. In front of her, animals knelt in an odd display, and a shirtless man was comforting them.

"What is this?" Chen Ze squeezed his way through. freewebnøvel.com

"This guy, named Tarzan, insists on letting his companions have a meal too," Lafra said, nudging her chin forward.

"Tarzan?" Chen Ze was a bit surprised, combining the bizarre clothing style with the animals; he knew where the other party came from.

"Hello! Can you help me? My friends..." Tarzan seemed to have just noticed Chen Ze and hurried over.

"Of course I can, but do you have money?" Chen Ze looked at Tarzan suspiciously, the only thing of value on him was probably that grass skirt.

"This... I only have this, can you take a look and see if it will do?" Tarzan hesitated for a moment, then he carried over a huge blue gemstone from a gorilla.

Chen Ze looked at it, estimating it to be about the size of a child’s head.

"This... although it’s not great, it will do. So wait a moment," Chen Ze took out the gift he had for Lafra from his bosom.

"Dear, this is for you." Chen Ze felt a bit nervous, a bouquet of red roses, and a heart-shaped box of chocolates—he wondered if Lafra would like them.

"Thank you~" Lafra jumped up and kissed Chen Ze, then ran up the stairs with her gift.

Only after Lafra had gone upstairs did the animals seem to breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Ze even heard the gorilla behind him finally daring to breathe deeply, unaware of what those animals had just been through.

"However, these animals still can’t stay here. If you want them to eat, then I can prepare some food for you to take out to them," Chen Ze looked back at Tarzan.

With these creatures in the restaurant, going to the toilet would be a real headache for Chen Ze.

"Okay... then give me some food, it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten human food," Tarzan responded decisively.

After sending away a bunch of still trembling animals, Chen Ze could finally prepare their dishes without any hindrance.

Dealing with Tarzan was easy; Chen Ze thought that he just needed to bring some home-cooked dishes, and that would be enough to make him almost swallow his own tongue.

"Let me think... after all, Tarzan has been living in the jungle, so if it’s too delicious, he might linger and not want to leave, which might not be very good..." Chen Ze mused. freewёbnoνel.com

"Alright, then one Magical Mapo Tofu, one curry pork cutlet rice, plus one improved chive pocket, paired with a chocolate fantasy cake and a glass of ice-cold cola..." Chen Ze’s face wore a mischievous smile, causing Betty, who had come in to ask a question, to instantly back out.

Tarzan’s dishes were easy to handle, after all, he was human; preparing some dishes that intelligent creatures liked would suffice, but the real issue was with the animals.

"Forget it, I can’t be bothered to study this. For carnivorous animals, I’ll give them Argentine barbecue, and for herbivorous animals, a vegetable salad should suffice," Chen Ze thought this was a good idea.

Chen Ze remembered how in the novels he had read as a child, the protagonist would traverse to another world and win over a Legendary Beast with just a barbecue. Thinking about it now, Legendary Beasts from other worlds were really easy to lure.

"Tsk tsk, I wonder what kind of Legendary Beast I could attract if I took Argentine barbecue there," Chen Ze said with a smile and twisted his neck—now it was time to prepare these dishes.
