Chapter 583: Chapter 443 Mutton Soup with Bread and the Anchor’s Evening Party
Chen Ze felt pretty fortunate, although from a certain perspective, he lacked access to the high-quality supply channels that big restaurants had. Nevertheless, Chen Ze himself had an excellent supply channel, and that was Alisa.
This customer, who had eaten here before, had now become a very successful business person, according to Betty. She’s just been too busy dealing with Lady Lafra’s liquor affairs recently, so she hasn’t had time to come for a meal.
"Ah, speaking of that, once Alisa sorts out the liquor, could Lafra come to help me mix drinks?" Chen Ze looked at the bubbling mutton in the pot and fell into deep thought.
Chen Ze understood Lafra’s intentions well enough; she wanted to help him. Chen Ze was aware of Lafra’s motives, but since Lafra was Lafra, Chen Ze knew but opted not to interfere. Moreover, for the time being, Lafra was doing quite well, with no errors whatsoever.
"Betty, come in and serve the dishes," Chen Ze yawned, feeling particularly sleepy today, perhaps because of the fatigue.
"All right, Manager," responded Betty as she walked in, but she seemed out of sorts, looking somewhat distraught.
"What’s up with you? Heartbroken?" Chen Ze looked at Betty, puzzled.
Normally, at this time, Betty would be looking at him with those pitiful eyes, waiting for him to make her a dinner, but now she had this innocent and guiltless look instead.
"No, it’s just that this is the first time I’ve touched such indescribable cheeks." Betty looked at her fingers, still unable to forget the sensation of Hastur’s face—it was incredible.
"What happened?" Chen Ze, who hadn’t seen what had just happened outside, truly had no idea.
"It was that... I pinched Lord Hastur’s cheek, and I felt like I was pinching something not human at all," Betty said, looking up at Chen Ze excitedly.
A twitch appeared at the corner of Chen Ze’s mouth. Betty’s remark wasn’t really an issue; after all, Hastur indeed wasn’t human but rather an entity whose mere appearance could drive people insane.
But such an indescribably terrifying creature had its cheeks pinched by Betty?
However, considering that Nyaruko had appeared in anime doing certain things, Hastur getting its cheeks pinched seemed fairly normal.
"You go serve the food first." Chen Ze rolled his eyes, then let Betty carry the plates out. He was more concerned about the preparations he had yet to make.
Although, from a certain point of view, this task was a bit ceremonial, Chen Ze felt it still needed to be done, especially since he hadn’t formally proposed to Lafra yet.
Originally, Chen Ze had not considered marriage, feeling that they would need more time together before genuinely entering the halls of matrimony. However, Lafra’s words to him before made Chen Ze feel that, albeit slightly abrupt, marrying Lafra was the correct thing to do.
It was the kind of decision he’d never regret, one Chen Ze believed would leave him without remorse even in old age when looking back.
"It’s just..." Chen Ze scratched his head, marriage is not a trifling matter. Emotionally and rationally, he should prepare properly.
"Mmm~ the food here is indeed the best. When I see the links to delicacies my fans send me, I almost wish I could jump into the screen and pull the food out to eat," said Hastur, brimming with satisfaction and cheeks puffed out like a little hamster.
"Lord Hastur can’t eat those?" Betty asked curiously. Logically, with Hastur’s power, creating something out of thin air shouldn’t be a problem, right?
"I can’t help it. There are many obstacles, and the key issue is, the food I create doesn’t have the right taste. Last time I tried the lamb soup bun I conjured up, I can only tell you it was extremely disgusting, to the point of exploding," said Hastur, happily chewing on lamb.
The lamb meat at Chen Ze’s had a rich and fragrant taste, without any gamey smell or strange flavors. Overall, the taste was very good, at least Hastur liked it a lot.
Moreover, the lamb was full of rich aroma, very satisfying to eat, and the lamb soup was also well-made, so Hastur soon finished the entire lamb soup bun.
"Whew~ Manager, haven’t you thought of how to cook with dragon meat?" Hastur wiped his mouth. He didn’t need to pay these days, as the dragon meat he previously provided could cover a lot of meal expenses.
"No, I’m still thinking about how to deal with that," Chen Ze wiped his hands and came out. He wasn’t in the mood to cook anyway, so he might as well come out and chat with Hastur. Perhaps in the middle of their conversation, Chen Ze would find some inspiration.
"Hehe, in that case, do you want me to tell you something?" Hastur grinned as he pulled the curry pork chop rice towards himself, then scooped up a spoonful of curry and poured it over his rice.
"What is it?" Chen Ze was a bit curious. Could it be that Hastur figured out how to make delicious dishes with dragon meat?
"No, it’s not about that. Didn’t I tell you I’m a livestreamer?" Hastur talked with Chen Ze while enjoying his meal.
"Of course, I know. Actually, Betty often watches your streams," Chen Ze nodded. He was well aware, since Hastur had started streaming, and Chen Ze had even helped him set up the streaming account.
Furthermore, because Hastur had listed his delivery address at Chen Ze’s place, Chen Ze received a trophy from the little broken station to commemorate Hastur becoming the livestreamer with the most fans on the platform.
"It’s like this. Didn’t the little broken station organize some kind of event for livestreamers recently? They invited me to participate, and I had already signed up, so~" Hastur rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"So?" Chen Ze twitched the corner of his mouth, not sure what to say. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Honestly, Chen Ze thought he understood what Hastur meant—he just wanted to attend the event. But that would bring up a different problem.
That is, how would Hastur go? After all, Hastur came to this world through a portal, and the event’s location was limited to his own restaurant.
It’s not like they could make the little broken station change the venue of the party to his own restaurant, right? That wouldn’t be realistic.
"I have a bold idea!" Seeing Hastur’s excited face, Chen Ze had a bad feeling.
