Chapter 531: Chapter Three Hundred Ninety-One: Heather Scrambled Eggs
After seeing Sun Wukong off, Chen Ze still felt a bit disappointed, after all this character was one of Chen Ze’s favorites. However, he didn’t expect that the Sun Wukong who once caused havoc in the heavens was no longer present, it seemed that when he became enlightened, all his imposing aura was contained, becoming mild-mannered.
Although there was nothing wrong with such a Sun Wukong, Chen Ze still felt a little uncomfortable, perhaps everyone wishes their idol would always remain in their best original form.
"Manager, you seem quite down?" Betty looked at Chen Ze and asked worriedly.
"It’s nothing, by the way, do you want to try this accessory?" Chen Ze said with a smile as he took out the Golden Hoop, he was very curious if it still worked now.
But Chen Ze immediately realized that even if Betty put it on, Chen Ze himself didn’t know the incantation, so achieving the same effect as Tang Seng was still pretty difficult.
"No, I refuse." Betty immediately shook her head and then continued washing her dishes.
Although she didn’t know why Chen Ze suddenly asked this question, Betty’s keen senses detected something abnormal. Generally speaking, whenever the manager actively asked such questions, it wasn’t something good; just like when he previously used Betty as a taste tester.
"Okay then, I’ll make you a dish with skunk vine that you want to eat, hehehe, remember what you once said." Chen Ze smiled, then put on a mask for himself, preparing to take out the skunk vine, hoping Betty could bear to eat it, otherwise it would be troublesome.
"Oh? Okay then, I’ll go out and do some cleaning first." Betty nodded her head and packed up the cloth, then headed out, as Sun Wukong had arrived a bit early today and she hadn’t finished her cleaning yet.
"Okay, just you wait, I’ll make you the skunk vine dish that’s on the current menu." Chen Ze nodded, it was just skunk vine scrambled eggs with a fishy and unappetizing taste, he thought he just wouldn’t smell it.
Once Betty went out to clean, Chen Ze took out the skunk vine and placed it on the chopping board, and the unique smell of skunk vine immediately wafted out, causing the corners of Chen Ze’s mouth to twitch; even though he was wearing a mask, the problem was that the smell was just too overpowering, filling the entire kitchen with an indescribable odor.
"This is simply suffocating. I really don’t understand whether those scriptwriters were blindly writing with their eyes closed or playing with a meme, creating a topic of discussion," Chen Ze immediately cast a nasal protection magic on himself, and then he started to feel a little better.
Skunk vine scrambled eggs required the most fragrant part of the flowers. Chen Ze removed the stems and then soaked the skunk vine in clear water, hoping that this would slightly improve the smell.
Chen Ze quickly processed all the skunk vine, then cracked two eggs, stirred them evenly, and after adding salt, he also added some MSG. Despite the strong smell of skunk vine, Chen Ze, adhering to the principle of a chef, still wanted to try his best to make a relatively tasty dish.
He heated oil in a wok and quickly poured the eggs into the hot oil, then after the eggs began to set, he added the skunk vine and mixed them together.
Suddenly, the smell in the entire kitchen became even more suffocating, and at the very least, Chen Ze felt like he was constantly facing the threat of suffocation as the odor slowly spread to the outside.
"What is this magical smell?" Betty covered her nose, had she just smelled a very suffocating odor?
"It can’t be the dish I’m about to eat, can it..." A terrifying thought flashed through Betty’s mind, but she immediately shook her head. It was a dish highly recommended in TV shows as very delicious, how could it possibly have such a suffocating smell.
"Betty, come in for dinner." Chen Ze smiled triumphantly, then covered his mouth, worried he might throw up if he didn’t step outside with that odor permeating the air.
Eggs already have a slight fishy scent, and combined with the overwhelming stink of skimmia blooms, the entire room’s smell was enough to make anyone feel nauseous.
"Boss, you’re not...ugh... messing with me, are you?" Betty walked in, covering her nose. She hadn’t noticed anything from outside, but now that she had come in, she immediately felt like vomiting.
"Of course not... this is just the unique scent of the skimmia flowers, that’s why I asked you to think it over," Chen Ze said, holding his nose, feeling like he was about to suffocate himself.
"Can I... can I take it back?" Betty looked at the plate of skimmia flower scrambled eggs that looked great in color and appearance but felt resistant inside.
"No, you can’t, look at this, your video." Chen Ze had anticipated Betty’s regret, so he immediately took out his mobile phone, which showed the video of Betty’s bold claims from before.
"I... Boss, be a dear, Autum Pear Ointment!" Betty was about to explode, the odor was suffocating even to smell, let alone eat. She couldn’t imagine what she’d have to endure if she actually ate it.
"No way, I have stopped being ’a dear’ now!" Chen Ze laughed triumphantly. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Betty swallowed hard, then picked up her chopsticks tremblingly, covered her nose, grabbed a piece of the skimmia flower scrambled eggs, and stuffed it into her mouth.
Chen Ze stood by watching as Betty’s face changed colors rapidly, from normal with a slight flush, to pale, and finally to a shade of green, feeling the excitement of watching a face-changing performance.
"Ugh..." Betty couldn’t hold it back anymore. This flavor was different from stinky tofu, which smells bad but tastes delicious. This taste was poisonous, fishy, and disgusting, constantly assaulting Betty’s taste buds.
Even more hopeless was the fact that the flavor of skimmia intensified with each chew. Now Betty felt even her breath tasting of skimmia.
Seeing the large plate of skimmia flower scrambled eggs still in front of her, Betty couldn’t help but feel a surge of sadness and burst into tears.
"Hey, hey, hey, it’s not that bad." Chen Ze, seeing Betty crying pitifully, started to panic.
At this moment, he desperately hoped no customer would come in. If someone saw this scene, Chen Ze felt his reputation would be ruined.
"Boss, we...this..." Chen Ze immediately heard an all too familiar voice and couldn’t help but cover his face, the malice of the world all too apparent.
"Sis, what... it seems we’ve come at a bad time, shall we come back later?" That was Jack’s voice.
"Wait, let me explain!" Chen Ze hurriedly ran out and faced Alice and Jack’s strange looks as he brought the two inside.
