My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 544: Chapter 404 Baked Sweet Potato and Shizuka

"Manager, four servings of curry pork cutlet rice and one dorayaki," Betty said as she came in carrying lemon water and informed Chen Ze the results of their order.

"Okay, don’t forget to send out the mango mousse," Chen Ze glanced at Betty, then starting to work on the curry pork cutlets.

Chen Ze still intended to make Transcendent-level curry pork cutlet rice, because if he could do his best, why settle for less? Chen Ze felt there was no need to compromise.

As Chen Ze began to cook, the entire kitchen was instantly filled with a rich aroma of curry, making the four little guests sitting in the restaurant anxiously peer around.

"Nobita, the food at this restaurant smells really good, but are you sure we don’t have to pay?" Takeshi Goda swallowed his saliva, the aroma was so much better than what his sister made, and he felt like he was starving to death.

"It’s really free, Uncle Manager here usually just borrows stuff from Doraemon; he never asks us to pay," Nobita affirmed with certainty, then glanced in the direction of the kitchen.

Why has the manager’s cooking improved so much after just a few days?

Shizuka was shyly looking down, her stomach had been rumbling since the beginning, and the rich aroma of curry was too much, making her stomach growl a few times.

"It really smells amazing, even the top chefs hired by my mom can’t produce this flavor," Little Shizuka gave a thumbs up; the taste was truly beyond any objection.

"Right..." Chen Ze looked at the pork cutlets, slapped his forehead suddenly, he remembered he might have forgotten something.

Then Chen Ze popped his head out and asked Nobita and the others, "Would anyone like some baked sweet potatoes?"

"No, Uncle Manager," Nobita immediately answered.

And Takeshi Goda and the others also decisively shook their heads. What a joke, why eat some weird baked sweet potatoes when there’s delicious curry to be had?

But Chen Ze noticed that Shizuka was stunned for a second, yet she still did not respond.

Chen Ze smiled. These insincere little girls, clearly liking baked sweet potatoes but too shy to admit it, even faced with Doraemon’s Divine Artifact, only when pushed did they reveal their favorite food.

Chen Ze touched his chin, although he couldn’t blatantly give Shizuka a baked sweet potato, he thought maybe he could try something else, like normally in curry there would be potatoes, but perhaps he could switch to baked sweet potatoes for Shizuka.

Thinking this, Chen Ze decisively grabbed a sweet potato, also known as a yam, and started the preparations, even if it might affect the Transcendent level of the curry pork cutlet rice, he didn’t mind.

As the pork cutlets were marinated, Chen Ze quickly began preparing the curry pork cutlet rice. While the curry pork cutlets were marinating, he also made the dorayaki Doraemon needed and put them in the oven.

Before long, Chen Ze had prepared the curry pork cutlet rice needed by Nobita and his three friends, among them was a special serving made for Shizuka.

[You’ve made a perfect serving of curry pork cutlet rice, Japanese Cuisine cooking experience has increased by 10 points] fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Among the myriad of extraordinary messages, this one seemed a bit out of place, but Chen Ze felt nothing of it.

[The Perfect Curry Pork Chop Rice has advanced to Transcendent Low Curry Pork Chop Rice (Shizuka Exclusive), gaining 20 points of Japanese Cuisine cooking experience]

Chen Ze was startled for a moment, but soon smiled. He surmised that the System detected Shizuka’s fondness for roasted sweet potatoes, so this secretly improved curry pork chop rice gained an advanced effect. By that logic, it was the same when Elena and the others came for the first time.

Chen Ze felt as if he was grasping the true essence of cooking, but he knew he still needed to continue his research to create the best dishes.

"Betty, come in and serve the dishes." Chen Ze clapped his hands; the food was finally ready, and now he could continue researching the method for making Magic crispy rice.

Chen Ze didn’t pay much attention to Nobita and his friends, though some of the things Blue Fatty had made him quite envious. But those were Blue Fatty’s possessions, and it seemed like Blue Fatty was somewhat wary of him.

This left Chen Ze somewhat puzzled. He didn’t think he was particularly handsome, but surely not to the extent that others would dislike him, so why did Blue Fatty seem to despise him?

"Could this guy think I’m some kind of fishmonger?" Chen Ze touched his face but shook his head. After all, with time, Blue Fatty would naturally come to trust him.

"Wow, what is this? It’s so delicious!" Takeshi Goda was full of surprise. Although he had imagined the deliciousness of the curry the moment he smelled it, eating it proved an even more unique taste.

"Yeah, I really don’t know what to say, I want to bring the owner of this place home to be our family’s chef." With a serious nod, Nobisuke expressed his genuine idea. Besides, such a top-notch chef could even start a completely reservation-based restaurant if he went to their place.

"I told you so~ By the way, Shizuka, how does it taste?" Nobita said proudly, patting his chest, then looked towards Shizuka, who was pondering with a thoughtful expression on her face.

"Ah? Eh? It’s really good," Shizuka’s face turned red in an instant, but she nodded and replied to Nobita’s words.

Shizuka looked down at the curry pork chop rice in front of her, which was a very ordinary curry pork chop rice, yet at the same time, it was not that ordinary. She thought what was supposed to be a potato in it had a familiar taste when she ate it.

"Roasted sweet potato?" Shizuka wondered internally.

To confirm her thought, Shizuka picked up a piece of ’potato’ covered in curry sauce and asked Betty for a bowl of water. She rinsed the ’potato’ in it, revealing its original color.

Then Shizuka put the piece into her mouth and gently bit down. Although there was still some curry flavor, the taste of roasted sweet potato was more prominent. Shizuka smiled happily; she didn’t know why the manager would be aware that she liked roasted sweet potatoes, but she felt the consideration he had for her.

"The manager is such a gentle person," Shizuka mused, eating contentedly. It was the first time she had indulged in roasted sweet potatoes in the company of her friends and without any concerns.

However, Shizuka quickly remembered the roasted sweet potatoes Nobita had given her for her last birthday.

"Hmph!" Shizuka glared at Nobita.

"Huh???" Nobita was utterly bewildered.
