My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 571: Chapter 431: Teaching of the Kitchen Heart?

The next morning, Chen Ze woke up early, even though he had a bit of a headache from overindulging in alcohol the day before, his body’s internal clock still roused him.

"Ugh... thankfully I didn’t drink too much yesterday, and the booze Lafra mixed wasn’t strong either, with a low alcohol content," Chen Ze rubbed his head, thinking that if he had been drinking Elizabeth’s concoctions, his most vivid memory would probably be of cooking in the kitchen.

Last night’s Mid-Autumn banquet was a great success, with every guest leaving in high spirits. The entire event was suffused with an air of festivity, and of course, the playful banter between Betty and Lindsay drew cheers from everyone, with Chen Ze even shouting "Get together!" at one point.

Moriarty, true to his reputation as a seasoned intellectual, spent the evening sharing all sorts of esoteric knowledge, while Nyarlathotep occasionally discussed various topics with him.

As for Sebastian, that fellow, I don’t know what he had eaten, but he spent the whole time showing Chen Ze his Magic Crystal, which became quite bothersome as Chen Ze really couldn’t afford to ignore it.

That said, the girl inside the Magic Crystal was indeed very beautiful—at least Chen Ze had never seen such an attractive girl. It wasn’t that she was the most beautiful woman in the world, but she had a very distinctive charm.

Some women have an aura of profound knowledge, while others are brimming with vitality. Although they might be a bit naive, being around them is very comfortable.

The woman Sebastian had taken a fancy to seemed extremely elegant, with every smile and every glance being irresistibly charming. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Chen Ze felt that if this dragon existed in modern times, she’d have a hoard of people calling her "wife" already. Even if they found out she used to be a boy, what then? Probably an even larger group would be thrilled.

Chen Ze remembered a survey he’d once seen, which asked what action by girls was most attractive, and many people chose "pulling out something bigger than yours from under her skirt." He wasn’t sure if people were just joking or if they were serious.

If they were serious... that would be quite frightening.

"Time to freshen up," Chen Ze stretched and then suddenly realized something was missing by his side.

Chen Ze felt the bed. Indeed, Lafra was not there. He had thought that perhaps she was just wrapped up in the blanket, curled up inside it.

"Ah, this... don’t tell me..." Chen Ze quickly thought of all the places Lafra could possibly be, and almost instantly considered a likelihood.

Chen Ze quickly got up from the bed, quickly freshened up, then changed into his clothes and dashed downstairs, and sure enough, he found Lafra in the kitchen, diligently preparing breakfast for him.

The corner of Chen Ze’s mouth twitched involuntarily. He didn’t really support Lafra making breakfast, as his own cooking skills were superb, and he felt he could make even more delicious breakfasts, but since Lafra had already made it, he had no reason to stop her from doing so.

"Hope it’s normal today," Chen Ze thought about Lafra’s disastrous cooking skills and felt his head was going bald.

"Dear!" Lafra saw Chen Ze and hurriedly brought over a plate.

"Why did you get up so early today?" Chen Ze was honestly a bit surprised since Lafra usually slept in for long periods. To get up super early like today was really quite rare.

"Because I’ve already adjusted my body’s condition, so I don’t have to take that Magic Potion that requires a lot of sleep anymore," Lafra cheerfully took off her apron, set it aside, then she pushed the plate on the table towards him.

Chen Ze looked down and saw two slices of toast and a sunny-side-up egg. It all looked pretty good, with nothing out of the ordinary.

"Thank you," Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the egg with the toast and started eating slowly.

The flavor was quite ordinary, the fried egg didn’t even have salt in it, and it tasted just like egg, not very delicious, but Chen Ze still ate it all.

Compared to those potentially lethal things he had before, this fried egg with a slice of bread was quite nice; at least it didn’t cause any adverse reactions when eaten.

"Hehe, right, honey, I have some things to do, I need to go out for a while~" Lafra hugged Chen Ze’s waist and nuzzled him. freēwēbnovel.com

"Okay, be safe and come back early," Chen Ze nodded.

"Eh? Aren’t you going to ask what I am doing?" Lafra looked at Chen Ze curiously.

"Nope, I know Lafra definitely has her own things to do, and what’s more, I trust you," Chen Ze nodded. He really had nothing to inquire about.

"Humph~" Lafra laughed happily and then ran upstairs, grabbed a few things, and left.

Almost as soon as Lafra had left, the door was pushed open, and then Joichiro Yukihira walked in.

"Yo, kiddo, ready to endure today’s brutal training?" Joichiro Yukihira smiled at Chen Ze, who is getting better and better at cooking, so now he had to bring out some of his most treasured teachings.

"Of course!" Chen Ze immediately nodded, willing to undergo any kind of training as long as it could improve his cooking skills.

"Good, today we’ll learn about the detailed handling of seasonings and various ingredients," Joichiro Yukihira was very serious. What he was about to bring out were all things a top chef must master.

"Hmm!" Chen Ze took out "How Hot Can Tokyo Get?" and placed it on the table, activating the recording function.

...

"Not bad at all," Joichiro Yukihira wiped the sweat off his forehead. It must be said that Chen Ze was learning very quickly, even though he didn’t seem like an exceptionally gifted student.

Joichiro Yukihira glanced at the video camera. While not very gifted, it was clear that Chen Ze was working very hard. Even though Chen Ze did not master the teachings very well after each day, he always managed to slowly bring some surprises to Joichiro Yukihira.

"Hehe, it’s all thanks to Mr. Joichiro Yukihira’s good teaching," Chen Ze also let out a sigh of relief. Even though there was a video camera, Chen Ze still listened attentively and studied very seriously.

"Hmm, I’m almost running out of things to teach you, probably another seven days of teaching and you can graduate," Joichiro Yukihira looked at Chen Ze, smiling contentedly.

He liked diligent and hardworking kids, and he saw in Chen Ze the potential for further advancement in cooking skills.

"Great!" Chen Ze was very happy, as he was finally about to graduate.

"So for the next week, I’ll teach you how to make dishes with your own signature style, how to master the chef’s heart," Joichiro Yukihira left after saying this, leaving Chen Ze standing there, stunned.

"Chef’s heart?" Chen Ze was a bit excited.
