My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 93: Chapter Ninety-Three: New Ingredients and New Cuisines

Betty looked at Chen Ze with a surprised expression, her face clearly saying she hadn’t expected him to be that kind of person.

"Manager, so you like white hair..." Looking at a disconsolate Betty, the corners of Chen Ze’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Was there anything more innocent and wrongly accused than carrying a pot for no good reason in this world? Chen Ze felt that question had to be changed, as he didn’t want to inexplicably carry the name of a white hair enthusiast.

"No, no, no! This is all a misunderstanding!" Chen Ze immediately shook his head, his face full of earnestness.

"Hmph, I think Hastur’s word is more credible..." Betty expressed her disdain. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"If you disagree, there goes your salary." Chen Ze remained unmoved.

"Hastur’s words are definitely not trustworthy, ah. My manager is so handsome, so reliable, how could he possibly be a white hair enthusiast~" Watching Betty change her stance instantly made Hastur laugh.

"So, let’s trade, these are the ingredients I brought." Hastur tugged at his bag and poured out several ingredients from inside.

"Moonlight Mushrooms, I heard they’re a delicacy, I have 10 here." Chen Ze swallowed, he had tasted the deliciousness of Moonlight Mushrooms, and just based on the Moonlight Mushrooms, he felt this trade was already very worthwhile.

"This one is an Ice Fish, said to be only ten in the Endless Sea." Hastur then took out a fish, not very big, looking to be about 10 pounds.

But strangely, the fish’s scales seemed to be made of ice, giving the whole fish a bizarre sense of beauty.

Chen Ze carefully stored the Ice Fish, planning to consider how to cook this fish when he had improved his culinary skills.

"Lastly, this is a Magma Berry." A bright red fruit, comparable in size to an apple, it didn’t look that special, but it smelled incredibly fragrant.

"The trade is complete, Mr. Hastur." Chen Ze smiled as he took the three ingredients, while also passing the laptop to Hastur.

But did Hastur have a gender? Chen Ze wasn’t sure, at least when Hastur first came in, Chen Ze had only seen a black fog.

"I’ll have the manager’s special recommendation, please." After receiving the computer, Hastur dangled his legs casually.

"Alright." Chen Ze tied his headband and returned to the kitchen, planning to use the fish ice he had prepared earlier for today’s manager’s special.

He poured the fish ice from the bowl onto a plate and swiftly chopped it into small pieces with his knife, setting them aside for later.

"If fish ice can be a main dish, how about another serving of Magical Mapo Tofu?" Chen Ze scratched his head; honestly, he wasn’t feeling very confident at the moment.

The Magical Mapo Tofu made by Liu Maoxing was truly food from another dimension, and the difficulty was still too great for Chen Ze. He wasn’t confident he could replicate it, even though the other person had made it very slowly.

"But let’s give it a try anyway." Chen Ze shook his head, ultimately deciding to attempt it.

How would he know if he didn’t try? Although trying would only make people more desperate.

Chen Ze looked at the plate of Mapo Tofu in front of him, his mouth twitching; he rarely made dishes that were hard to swallow, but this Mapo Tofu had replicated the failure of his previous dishes.

[You have made a terrible unidentified tofu dish, Dimensional Cuisine experience has increased by 1 point]

Chen Ze was still quite satisfied, at least he was now sure of one thing: he indeed had a chance to replicate the cuisine from another world.

Then, with this in mind...

Thinking about confidently presenting luminous dishes from the kitchen to his customers in the future made Chen Ze feel very excited.

"Let’s start with a regular Mapo Tofu first." Chen Ze shook his head, reminding himself that progress had to be made step by step.

Before long, Chen Ze had finished today’s special recommendation. After calling Betty over, he poured the diced Ice Fish, which had been frozen, over the steaming rice and let Betty serve it to Hastur.

"Please enjoy your meal." Betty took away the hot towel, as Chen Ze habitually provided a hot towel and iced lemon water to every customer upon their arrival.

This made Betty constantly wonder if Chen Ze had some strange addiction, like something to do with fire and ice.

Hastur looked at the dish in front of him and took a deep breath. The scent of the food was very inviting, but what intrigued him the most was the Ice Fish rice dish introduced by Chen Ze, a dish he was sure wasn’t in his retrieved memories.

The jelly-like frozen Ice Fish started to show signs of melting on the hot rice. Hastur picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a bit of rice with a melting piece of Ice Fish, and put it into his mouth.

It was delicious, Hastur’s first reaction. The hot rice and the cold Ice Fish were the best combination, which was strange since rice seemed to match with anything.

Hastur nodded in satisfaction. Although the dish was not as good as the one he sensed from Betty, it had a uniqueness that gave Hastur the curious sensation of eating and drinking soup at the same time.

Chen Ze then took out a small bowl from the kitchen, containing an ingredient Hastur had never tasted before.

"Oil Chicken Mushrooms, please enjoy," Chen Ze said, feeling that it was better to serve a variety of mountain and sea delicacies together.

In Yun Province, there were many types of mushrooms, whether the expensive Ganba or Matsutake mushrooms, or the more affordable ones like Jiàn shǒu qīng. But Chen Ze’s favorite was Chicken Mushrooms, especially the ones made by his mom. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Chen Ze still remembered his middle school days as a boarder, going home only once a week. Each homecoming was a rare opportunity for a group meal with his dormitory mates.

These brutes would always claim to help you by filching a chopstick-full of Oil Chicken Mushrooms from your already scarce jar.

It always filled Chen Ze with indignation until he would snatch a big chunk of meat from their braised beef or roasted duck, feeling that this trade-off wasn’t too bad.

Hastur looked at the small bowl in front of him with curiosity. Still, he reached out with his chopsticks, took a little, and chewed it a few times, his eyes lighting up.

This thing called Oil Chicken Mushrooms seemed to go well with the rice, too. Hastur felt as if he had discovered the ultimate secret of cuisine.

Watching Hastur eat with great relish, Chen Ze hesitated for a moment. He had the nagging feeling that Hastur had just fallen into a trap.

But what specifically it was, he couldn’t pinpoint, only having a vague sense that something wasn’t quite right.

"Tsk, what am I thinking about? He is an Ancient Ruler after all." Chen Ze shook his head, pulling out the cookbook he had recorded and continued to study it. He planned to introduce a new dish.

Chen Ze had thought about this dish before, but at the time, his culinary skills were limited, so he hadn’t tried it. Now he felt he was ready.

This was also a rather famous dish in Huaxia Cuisine, and it was directly related to a Great Writer in Huaxia’s history.
