My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 530: Chapter Three Hundred Ninety: The Taste of Intestine Rolls

Sorrow Sake, this was the alcohol Chen Ze had obtained from Mephisto. Chen Ze felt that rather than calling it alcohol, it would be more appropriate to call it pure ethanol, and it was extremely strong at that.

"Should I use it... But Sun Wukong is the Conqueror Buddha, will this drink be effective?" Chen Ze was a bit tangled because, according to Sun Wukong’s illustrious battle record, this was the one who only got drunk after consuming a lot of immortal wine, which was simply terrifying.

"Forget it, let’s try it. Meanwhile, I’ll make a chocolate fantasy cake, then a beer duck, followed by a serving of chicken oil rice, and then pair it with Sorrow Sake... Incidentally, I’ll also use Elizabeth to marinate a rack of ribs, and make fried ribs." Chen Ze quickly decided what exactly he was going to prepare today.

If Sun Wukong still wouldn’t get drunk after this, then Chen Ze had no other recourse.

As Chen Ze started to cook, a fragrance of alcohol slowly began to fill the kitchen. Betty sniffed it and then continued to wipe down her table. She was familiar with this scent; wasn’t it the aroma of Sorrow Sake?

"Tsk tsk, looks like the manager is going to do something inhuman again," Betty shook her head. She did not know Sun Wukong and had not played any related games, so she truly did not understand why the manager would want to make an effort with this customer.

Sun Wukong watched Betty with a smile, his expression as serene as ever, as if everything was none of his concern, even the increasingly rich scent of alcohol in the air.

"Betty, come in and serve the dishes." Chen Ze looked at the dishes before him and nodded satisfactorily. He had put a lot of effort into these dishes, and if they still didn’t achieve the desired effect, he would be out of options.

"I have heard from Akatsuki that the dishes here are second to none, and now, just from the presentation and aroma, they are indeed amazing." Sun Wukong admired the exquisitely plated dishes before him, and then picked up his chopsticks, grabbing a piece of beer duck and savoring it carefully.

"Conqueror Buddha, you can eat meat?" Chen Ze had discovered a problem. When he was cooking earlier, he hadn’t considered this issue and had only just realized it.

"Of course," nodded Sun Wukong. Although he preferred fruit, since Chen Ze had not provided any fruit, he would just make do. Surely the Honored One would not blame him if he knew.

"Alright then, enjoy your meal. Call me if you need anything." Chen Ze nodded, then waited to see if Sun Wukong would get drunk from eating these dishes and revert back to the Monkey King, Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong didn’t think too much about it; he was just enjoying the dishes served by Chen Ze. The flavor of each dish was excellent and very palatable. Sun Wukong felt that even the dishes served at the Jade Emperor’s feasts were only slightly superior in terms of ingredients compared to the ones here.

"Please enjoy your meal," Betty said as she walked over and refilled Sun Wukong’s cup with lemon water.

"Thank you, miss," Sun Wukong said with a smile, nodding gently as if it matched his temperament.

Chen Ze stood in the kitchen, not looking to see if Sun Wukong was showing any signs of change. He was pondering what better dish he could prepare later.

"Speaking of which, my small intestine rolls should also be ready to eat by now." Chen Ze stroked his chin; he had previously left the small intestine rolls in the braising pot without using Quadruple Speed, and after braising for nearly a day, they should be ready.

Chen Ze opened the braising pot, then took out the small intestine rolls and placed them on the chopping board.

"This is..." Chen Ze looked at the small intestine roll in front of him, a bit at a loss for what to say, possibly because Chen Ze’s marinade pot was an old marinade, so the entire small intestine roll was a darker color than the pictures Chen Ze had seen.

"Try the taste." Chen Ze scooped up a bowl of chicken oil rice, because this small intestine roll couldn’t be cut, if it was cut, then you wouldn’t be able to taste the best flavor of the small intestine roll. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Chen Ze picked up the piece of small intestine roll, which the System had rated as Exquisite Level, swallowed, and then stuffed it into his mouth, biting down hard and immediately puncturing the skin of the roll.

As it unraveled from its tightly coiled state, the small intestine roll became somewhat chewy, carrying the flavor of the marinade with a hint of bitterness. This is the charm of the small intestine roll; many people think it’s delicious because of that hint of bitterness inside.

Chen Ze felt that the sense of taste in humans was really miraculous. Originally a simple mechanism to differentiate poisonous foods through bitterness, over the long history and culture of humankind, bitterness slowly climbed onto the dining table and became an important component of taste.

Chen Ze felt that, setting aside all the profound life experiences and realizations, bitterness became a regular guest on the dining table of mankind simply because it could highlight other flavors.

Just like how after eating a spoonful of sugar, drinking sweet coffee would seem just okay.

But if you licked a game cartridge for Switch and then immediately drank a sweet beverage, the sweetness would feel truly intoxicating.

The small intestine roll was the same. It had a bitter taste, but the marinade flavor that followed was even more pronounced, and the overall taste experience was improved. At least Chen Ze was very satisfied with such a dish.

"Whew, this small intestine roll is pretty good, hm. It seems that when I’m researching other countries’ cuisines, I could also look into some regional specialties from Huaxia." Chen Ze put down his chopsticks, and before he knew it, a bowl of rice and three small intestine rolls were all gone.

Paired with oily chicken mushroom, the small intestine roll was simply the ultimate delicacy. Chen Ze’s stomach, which hadn’t been very hungry, could comfortably make room for more food.

"Honored One, this is my payment for the meal, what do you think?" Just after finishing his meal, Sun Wukong’s voice came in.

"Alright." Chen Ze walked out, then saw a golden Golden Hoop on the table, glittering under the light.

"This is..." Chen Ze felt this item looked somewhat familiar; after all, during his time watching Journey to the West and A Chinese Odyssey, this Golden Hoop had accompanied Sun Wukong on the road to retrieve the scriptures.

"This was something from my journey to retrieve the scriptures. Although it’s not any valuable treasure, it does have its uses. Would the Honored One take a liking to it?" Sun Wukong was as amiable as ever, even bringing his hands together in a Buddhist salute.

"Quite nice." Chen Ze nodded his head; the item indeed had collectible value. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Would the Honored One welcome me again next time?" Sun Wukong showed no signs of drunkenness.

"If it is the Monkey King Sun Wukong, I would naturally welcome you." Chen Ze said only this line.
