Chen Ze returned to the kitchen expressionlessly. He planned to come up with the bitterest dish to teach Nyarlathotep a lesson.
Speaking of bitterness in the culinary world, one had to mention the boss of the vegetable world – bitter gourd.
Chen Ze still remembered the first time he ate bitter gourd when he was young. He doubted his life and wondered if it was bad.
However, as he grew older, he slowly accepted it.
Chen Ze rubbed his chin. Bitter gourd was definitely not a good choice. Although it was bitter, the bitterness was not too strong. Chen Ze wanted to make an extremely bitter dish.
"How about Chinese goldthread? Don't they always say that you can't express your bitterness? "Chen Ze thought it was a good idea, but he quickly gave up.
He realized that his restaurant only had bitter gourd. There were no other bitter dishes.
"Sigh, then let's make fried bitter gourd." Chen Ze sighed faintly, doubting whether the bitter gourd would be able to make Nyarlathotep bitter.
Andrew sat quietly in the restaurant. Betty was talking to him, but he was more concerned about Nyarlathotep.
This uncle was very powerful. Andrew still remembered seeing a hand reach out from thin air, grab him, and stuff him back into his body.
Then he came back to life. There were no magic circles or signs of casting, but he came back to life just like that.
Plus, Nyarlathotep was studying a glowing body of energy. He did not even look at Andrew. It was like he had done something very simple.
"Andrew, you might have to stay here for a while. Elena will probably be here later." Betty poured another glass of lemonade for Andrew.
"Thank you, Sister Betty." Andrew took a sip of the lemonade. It tasted great, just like before.
"Sister Betty, can I ask you something?" Andrew looked uneasy. He looked at Betty nervously.
"What is it?" Betty came over curiously.
"That is … Uncle Store Manager … In order to revive me … That is …" Andrew's voice was getting smaller and smaller.
Andrew knew that Chen Ze was a good person. After all, he was able to let their dirty feet step on such a clean floor. He also provided them with warm clothes and delicious food.
Andrew had always been very grateful to Chen Ze, and he had always kept this kindness in his heart.
Andrew had already decided that as long as he became an official Knight, he would join the Church of Light, make some money, and then repay Chen Ze's kindness.
However, this time was different from the past. This was reviving a person, not just treating a wound.
Even someone as powerful as the Pope did not have the ability to resurrect a person. This was the authority of a god. Now, in order to resurrect a god, Andrew could not imagine what Chen Ze had sacrificed.
However, Andrew was very clear that he owed Chen Ze a lot. Even if he were to be Chen Ze's servant for the rest of his life, he would not be able to repay him.
Betty blinked her eyes. She could sense the change in Andrew's emotions, and then she roughly understood what was going on.
"Andrew, you shouldn't ask me about this. You should ask the store manager directly." Betty said very gently.
"What's more, even if the store manager knows, he won't care." Betty thought of Chen Ze's wealth. He gave away thousands of gold coins without hesitation, and threw the egg-sized gem into the cabinet.
Betty felt that if she were in his shoes, she would look at it every day and keep it in the strongest box.
However, Chen Ze did not care at all. This made Betty admire Chen Ze very much. She felt that he was a person who treated money like dirt.
"Sigh, I have to go out and set up a stall to make money again. How can the money be used up so quickly? I always feel that the money I just got will be gone in a few days." Chen Ze sighed in the kitchen with melancholy.
It was time to stock up on ingredients such as butter, olive oil, and curry powder. Then, he had to go to the mutton wholesale market to buy ingredients for the mutton tripe.
There was not much Coca-Cola left, and he had to stock up on cherry flavored ones. Lavra loved to drink it, and she even took a whole box of it with her when she went back in the morning.
Chen Ze looked at the stir-fried bitter gourd in front of him and paired it with a bowl of fried egg fried rice. He also prepared a bowl of fried bitter gourd for Andrew.
However, Chen Ze tasted it himself. It was bitter, but not strong enough to make people frown, let alone Nyala.
"Tsk, if I knew this would happen, I would have made some ammonium benzoate saccharide and let Nyala have a good taste." Chen Ze sighed. Then, he called Betty in and took the two dishes out.
Chen Ze clapped his hands and looked at his phone. It was already afternoon. He wondered if the little boss and the others would come today. He had been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Thank you, Uncle!" Andrew had appeared at the kitchen door without anyone noticing.
"Hurry up and eat. What if Elena sees you later?" Chen Ze smiled and waved his hand. It was not a big deal. Chen Ze was quite happy to be able to help Andrew.
"Okay!" Andrew's eyes were red. He nodded vigorously.
"How good would it be if Nyala existed in the real world?" Chen Ze raised his head and looked at the ceiling. If he could really bring his family back to life, Chen Ze would do anything.
Chen Ze lowered his head. He thought of his grandfather, the grandfather who loved to eat boiled bitter gourd.
"Boiled bitter gourd …" Chen Ze boiled a pot of water and washed the bitter gourd. After removing the inedible parts, he threw it into the pot.
Chen Ze had always thought that the most bitter way to eat bitter gourd was to boil it without adding anything. After it was cooked, the taste was indescribable.
After a while, Chen Ze took out the softened bitter gourd. He sliced it and placed it on a plate.
Some people would choose to add some soy sauce and chili to it. That way, it would not be that bad. However, Chen Ze did not plan to add anything.
"Grandfather, I hope you are well." Chen Ze shook his head. He did not go to pay his respects during the Qingming Festival. He felt uncomfortable.
[You have made a serving of White Water Bitter Gourd. Home cooking experience increased by 1 point.]
A system notification suddenly popped up. Chen Ze was stunned. He did not expect White Water Bitter Gourd to be a dish that could provide experience.
[White Water Bitter Gourd acquired the effect: Pain of Longing.]
It was another new notification. This time, the additional effect appeared on non-desserts.
Chen Ze couldn't help but pick up a piece and eat it. It was very bitter, but his heart felt even worse. It was as if his heart was being torn apart.
Chen Ze put down his chopsticks. It was obvious that if this thing was brought out, it would definitely make Nyala speechless.
Chen Ze picked up the plate and solemnly sealed it with plastic wrap before putting it in the cupboard.
