My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 595: Chapter 455 The Reason Why Stan Resented was Actually...

When Betty heard Chen Ze’s words, she’d already bitten into the food, so all in all, even if she wanted to regret it, it was too late.

The taste of this grilled meat was very special, with a hint of alcohol flavor, making Betty feel slightly tipsy, yet it was accompanied by the rich fragrance of the meat and a faint sweetness.

"Sweetness?" Betty chewed and then swallowed the grilled meat, contentedly licking her lips.

"How does it taste?" Chen Ze looked at Betty and asked.

"It’s really good, although I was a bit panicked when you mentioned it just now, manager, after actually eating it I found the taste of the meat to be super amazing~" Betty’s face was a bit red, excitedly wagging her tail.

"Hmm, can you be more specific?" Chen Ze took out his notebook, which he’d seldom used nowadays, especially since the release of "How Hot is Tokyo Really," but jotting down the taste of a new ingredient was still worthwhile.

"It’s like... it tastes like a kind of liquor, but it’s not very strong, and... it’s a bit sweet," Betty scratched her head, she really wasn’t good at describing how a dish tastes.

"Sweetness? Are you sure?" Chen Ze was stunned for a moment, as he’d also tasted the grilled meat just now and hadn’t detected any sweetness.

"Yes, I’m sure," nodded Betty, she had indeed tasted a bit of sweetness, subtle yet perfectly balanced, much like how mixing drinks brings out the luster in the alcohol, elevating the entire flavor of the meat to a new level. freewebnovel.cσ๓

"Hmm... I see...." Chen Ze nodded, if that was the case, then it meant that the white skin, after being grilled, did not have any negative impact on the meat itself, but rather enhanced its flavor.

It seems that indeed, there is no shortage of wonders in the vast world, but considering unique ingredients such as durian and stinky tofu, Chen Ze thought that adding another ingredient that feels disgusting to touch but pairs well with meat wasn’t so strange after all...

"Betty, could you please refill my pot," Moriarty called out, summoning Betty away. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Meanwhile, Chen Ze stood in the kitchen, seriously contemplating how to cook the meat of the Bacchus Dragon, because its meat was truly too special, naturally imbued with the rich aroma of premium brandy, along with a unique texture. Although it wasn’t too intoxicating, overindulgence might still be a problem.

Moreover, the strong flavor of the ingredient itself could pose some challenges for a chef, and at the very least, Chen Ze now needed to think carefully about how to handle the Bacchus Dragon.

"Miss Betty has a scent of brandy on her," Moriarty sniffed, a very pleasant aroma had filled the air since Betty came out.

"Eh?" Betty blinked, a bit confused.

"Did you just have a drink?" Moriarty took a sip of tea; he personally enjoyed brandy, which is why he could recognize the scent, and it was one of the few alcohols he would drink.

"No, but I just had a piece of the manager’s grilled meat, it’s super delicious!" Betty licked her lips, the flavor was so intense that she still felt it lingering in her mouth.

"Oh?" Moriarty smiled, suddenly intrigued by the grilled meat. What kind of grilled meat could offer such a fantastic taste? And to carry the top-notch aroma of brandy too.

Before Moriarty could say anything more, the door was pushed open, and Stan entered, his expression perennially gloomy. However, he was dressed particularly strangely today.

"Welcome to... Dream Restaurant, Lord Stan~" Betty immediately greeted him and then took a glance at Stan’s attire. It was extremely lavish, studded with all sorts of gemstones, and magic runes were everywhere. Coupled with the Magic Wand Stan held in his hand and the crown on his head, no one would doubt if you said he was the King."

"Buffet." Stan sat down expressionlessly and then released his hand, allowing the Magic Wand to float automatically behind him.

"Ah... Mr. Stan, what’s with your outfit today?" Chen Ze popped his head out to take a look, nearly getting blinded by Stan’s glittering appearance, and couldn’t help asking.

After all, Stan was always very low-key and never wore any strange clothes. He was just like an ordinary person and never stood out as much as he did now.

"Something’s come up." Stan glanced at Chen Ze, and for some reason, Chen Ze felt...

A hint of resentment?

This made Chen Ze a bit nervous, as Stan’s gaze was just too strange, and Chen Ze couldn’t understand what was happening.

"Just a moment." Chen Ze nodded and then withdrew, beginning to prepare the Buffet that Stan needed for today.

"Lord Stan, did you attend some kind of ceremony?" Betty asked curiously. Now, Betty was much more casual with Stan and other regular customers than she used to be, no longer as timid as before.

"Mm." Stan nodded and then glanced at Moriarty, a customer he recognized, as it was very difficult not to remember someone who came every day.

Betty scratched her head, not knowing how to respond.

It must be said that having a conversation with Stan was a very painful thing because Stan seldom spoke. Even if he did, his responses were usually limited to "Mm," "Oh," "Ah," and hearing him say anything longer was rare.

He was the type who could ’kill’ a conversation; adding to that, since Moriarty wasn’t saying much either, Betty felt the restaurant suddenly become very quiet, so quiet that one could even hear Chen Ze cooking in the kitchen.

"Betty, come in and serve the dishes." Chen Ze wiped his hands; he had already made five servings of Buffet, and now he planned to make fourteen more, then set one aside to try an improvement, to see if that could break through any grading barriers.

"Manager." Stan, looking at the Buffet in front of him, suddenly called out.

"What’s up?" Chen Ze jerked his hand, almost misplacing the strawberry.

"Lafra has announced that she will no longer serve as the chairperson of the Dark Council," Stan said to Chen Ze, his eyes carrying that trace of resentment.

The corner of Chen Ze’s mouth twitched; it seemed it was not his imagination—Stan was indeed feeling resentful, and it seemed to have something to do with him.

After all, the likely reason why Lafra no longer continued as chairperson was that she planned to stay at Chen Ze’s restaurant and spend a romantic life with Chen Ze. But that meant Stan had become the only one in the negative realm qualified to serve.

And being the chairperson was very busy work, no wonder Stan had such an odd look in his eyes today.
