"Manager, do you have any delicious food today?" The door was pushed open, and then Greenwich walked in, looking completely exhausted.
"Welcome to Dream Restaurant, Mr. Greenwich. What would you like to eat today?" Betty, with her tail swishing, immediately greeted him with a smile, looking at the weary customer in front of her.
"Betty, I want meat, lots of meat, the more the better," Greenwich said as he found a chair to sit down. He was quite heavy, and together with the equipment he was wearing, he was like a bear, making Betty worry whether the restaurant’s chairs could withstand his weight. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Fortunately, though the chair appeared frail, it proved to be incredibly sturdy and didn’t budge at all, firm as Tarzan.
"Meat, you say... please wait a moment, I’ll check with the manager." Even though what Greenwich requested was a bit unusual, Betty still nodded and went into the kitchen.
There were many dishes on the menu, but the ones that were entirely meat were few, so Betty was a bit uncertain whether to serve these to Greenwich.
"All meat? That’s simple, no trouble at all. Just ask Greenwich to wait a moment," Chen Ze said, a bit surprised as he glanced at Betty. It was indeed rare for someone to ask for an all-meat meal like this.
"Alright, Manager," Betty nodded, then went out with the Lai Mei that Greenwich had ordered.
"All meat, huh..." Chen Ze stretched lazily. Lafra was engrossed in her cocktail book on the second floor, while Alisa had hurried off after receiving a bag of Gold Coins, leaving Chen Ze without much to do.
All-meat dishes were not uncommon in Huaxia Cuisine or other cuisines; in fact, there were many such dishes. Chen Ze could list a bunch if necessary, not to mention he already had an adapted version of Argentine barbecue. But Chen Ze still wanted to make some dishes he had never made before.
"How about steamed pork with rice flour? And then some roasted pork?" Chen Ze stroked his chin and quickly decided what he would make today.
Steamed pork with rice flour is considered a common household dish in Huaxia, with almost everyone having tried it at some point or at least seen it. Because of its unique flavor and texture, it has garnered many fans.
However, for a good steamed pork dish, besides the main ingredients, Chen Ze believed the most impactful aspect on the taste was the chef’s treatment of the fatty meat.
A good portion of steamed pork should be rich but not greasy, and eaten without that nauseating feeling often associated with fatty meat. If the fatty meat was not handled well, the steamed pork would generally receive poor reviews.
But Chen Ze wasn’t worried about this problem; he had mastered how to deal with fatty meat through learning and practice. Now it was just a matter of following a few more steps to make the steamed pork.
"But this roasted pork is really a bit challenging," Chen Ze mused, stroking his chin.
Roasted pork is usually found in Cantonese barbecue, a slightly charred piece of roasted pork, sprinkled with some seasonings and a scoop of dry chili peppers, can be very delicious. However, Chen Ze didn’t have the special equipment needed for roasting pork.
"I’ll just go for a barbecue style instead, since I have the Quadruple Speed Slate, I’m not particularly in a rush," Chen Ze nodded to himself and began preparing the items needed for Greenwich’s meal today.
"Mr. Greenwich, how did your last hunt go?" Betty brought over a chair, sat down curiously beside Greenwich, and looked at him.
She still remembered the last dreadful encounter, where she intended to help Greenwich seek revenge, only to be completely overpowered by that monster called Red Helm as soon as she approached. Its incredibly high attack power made Betty wonder if she had accidentally put on the wrong outfit?
"Based on the information the manager provided, we found that individual Star Dragon and also discovered a special individual known as the Star-Extinguishing Dragon..." Greenwich took a sip of Lai Mei and let out a long sigh.
"Uh-huh, and then what happened?" Betty was even more expectant, having learned previously that the Star Dragon was a monster in an online game that seemed to have died early. The final Ancient Dragon Species, the Star Dragon, was not released, which she thought was a pity.
"Then we headed back because we suddenly had an urgent mission..." Greenwich fell silent for a moment.
"We encountered a Kylin engaged in battle with another monster. The monster did not kill the Kylin but broke off its horn from its forehead, ate it, and then transformed into a creature with a golden glow on its back." Greenwich drained the rest of his Lai Mei.
"Its breath was formidable; the observation balloon from the Dragon History Academy was blown away by it, and the people died too. He was a fine young man, said he was getting married last time I saw him." Greenwich’s mood was downcast; that monster was extraordinarily strong, and the armor he had painstakingly forged was nothing but a fleeting defense against such a creature.
"Afterward, we did some research and concluded that the strength of this monster far exceeded that of any we currently knew, so we decided to create a new threat level just for these exceptionally powerful monsters." Greenwich rubbed the scratch on his arm—it wasn’t very deep, but it was visible.
"High rank?" Betty chimed in.
"Hmm? How did you know? But yes, it’s high rank," Greenwich nodded in acknowledgment.
"Betty, come in and serve the dishes," Chen Ze clapped his hands; the steamed meat with rice flour and roast pork were finally ready.
"Okay~" Betty cheerily ran in, then brought out two plates of meat still steaming hot and placed them in front of Greenwich.
"The smell really is very appetizing," Greenwich patted his face, looking at the two plates of meat, and licked his lips.
"Of course, Mr. Greenwich, take your time eating. Let me know if you need anything," Chen Ze wiped his hands; the roast was finished, and Chen Ze made a generous portion. Still, he wasn’t sure if it would be enough for Greenwich, given his large appetite.
"Will do." Greenwich nodded, then picked up a fork, speared a piece of the steamed meat with rice flour, and put it in his mouth.
"The flavor is really good!" Greenwich squinted his eyes in satisfaction; the food here was as good as ever, very delicious.
Chen Ze smiled, remaining silent. He had just overheard the conversation between Greenwich and Betty, and if Chen Ze was not mistaken, Greenwich must have encountered a Golden Lion, a rather special individual.
"High rank, huh... I wonder what would happen if they run into a super special." Chen Ze was a bit curious.
