"Manager, we don't seem to have many customers today." Betty looked at Chen Ze expectantly, her little tail wagging from side to side.
"Yes, it's quite few." Chen Ze nodded, then continued to look at his phone. He was looking up recipes on the internet.
There was a saying that three heads were better than one Zhuge Liang. It was the same when it came to cooking. Chen Ze wanted to learn from other cuisines so that he could perfect his Goubuli Bun.
Looking at Chen Ze's reply, Betty bit her lips unwillingly, then sneaked closer.
"Manager, I don't have a phone. What time is it now?" Betty forced a smile. Chen Ze could tell at a glance that Betty was up to something.
"Now? Let me see. "Chen Ze looked at Betty strangely, then looked down at his phone.
"It's 12 o 'clock in the afternoon …" Chen Ze looked at his phone and immediately understood what she was up to.
"Okay, it's noon. Since there are no customers, you can take a nap." Chen Ze rolled his eyes.
"Long live the manager!" Betty cheered, then ran up to the second floor. Soon, Chen Ze heard the sound of his computer turning on.
"While this silly succubus is resting, I'll take care of my own business." Chen Ze stretched lazily, then opened the freezer, and took out the ingredients left behind by Anziwugong last time.
Anz Wugong was drunk last time and left behind three ingredients. Although he said so himself, Chen Ze had no idea what they were.
If Anz Wugong hadn't said that they were ingredients, Chen Ze would have believed it if someone else said that they were art exhibits.
"The heart is fine … but I'm not very familiar with cooking with hearts, so I'll put it aside." Chen Ze put the heart aside, skipped over the sunflower, and took out the thing that looked like a stone.
As soon as he touched it, it felt like a stone. It was hard, cold, and ice-cold. However, it was indeed categorized as an ingredient.
Chen Ze picked up the brick-sized stone and placed it on the chopping board. Then, he gently cut it with the kitchen knife.
It was not as difficult as he had imagined. Chen Ze smoothly cut open the stone. The smoothness of the cut made Chen Ze wonder if he was cutting tofu.
In the next moment, however, Chen Ze noticed that something was amiss. A strange magic fluctuation was radiating from the stone. However, the magic array immediately crushed the fluctuation.
"What is this?" Chen Ze blinked in confusion.
"Oh no!" Anziur slammed his hand on the chair. He suddenly remembered that when he was drinking in that magical restaurant, he had given the manager three ingredients as a reward.
"Mr … Mr Momo, what's the matter?" Naby asked immediately while looking around vigilantly.
"It's nothing, Naby." Anziur shook his head, and then tapped the table silently.
Although the three ingredients were evaluated to be Epic grade, they were only complimentary items from the lucky draw back then.
"I remember … One is the Undying Sungrass … Another is the Molten Core, and the last one is the Petrified Meat, right?" Anziur scratched his head. He had always kept these consumables in his magical space. He had never taken them out. Now, he couldn't remember what they were used for.
However, Anziur remembered one thing. The ingredient called the Petrified Meat. Although it was described as an unparalleled delicacy, it would face a debuff during the cooking process, which would cause it to be continuously petrified.
"Naby, I'll go out for a while. You stay here and keep an eye on the big tomb." Anziur couldn't sit still anymore.
That magical restaurant was the most suitable place for him to relax after he came to this world. There was delicious miso soup, eel rice, and even beer.
It was simply a spice of life. Moreover, there was no need for him to pretend to be a supreme being. He was clearly a social animal …
A light flashed on Anziur's body, and forced him to calm down.
"Tsk, I was just thinking of drinking with that customer." Anziur shook his head, and then teleported out. He wanted to go to the restaurant to take a look.
He also wanted to drink some beer and have some skewers. He just didn't know if that customer was there.
Chen Ze was still cutting the meat in the kitchen. Although there was a magical wave in the beginning, it couldn't withstand the suppression of the restaurant's magical array.
"But the color of this meat is really beautiful." Chen Ze sighed.
Although the meat in front of him looked like a stone, the texture and color of the meat looked extraordinarily beautiful, just like the most beautiful rose.
Moreover, during the process of cutting, Chen Ze could smell a delicious meaty aroma.
When choosing meat, Chen Ze would usually smell it. On one hand, it was to prevent himself from picking bad meat, and on the other hand, it was to judge whether the meat was fresh or not.
An experienced chef could judge the quality of a piece of meat just by looking at the color and taste of the meat.
Take pork for example. Fresh pork would be red in the red parts, and the fat would be tender and white like snow.
If it was slightly spoiled, the color would be a little yellow. This kind of meat couldn't be eaten no matter what, as it would definitely cause diarrhea.
For meat like ham, one could also use a needle to pierce it and smell it to judge the quality of the ham.
Although Chen Ze was a chef who didn't know how to cook, he still had some experience. In addition to what he learned in the chef's school, Chen Ze could now judge the quality of meat by its taste.
"It smells so good … It should be a relatively rare ingredient. So, how should I eat it?" Looking at the half-cut meat, Chen Ze was a little conflicted.
As a chef, Chen Ze was quite fortunate to have so many ingredients to see, but this also meant that Chen Ze needed someone to choose the most suitable cooking method for them.
"Then roast it." In the end, Chen Ze made up his mind.
Fire was the origin of human civilization, and it could also be said to be the earliest cooking method. It was precisely because of the use of fire to roast meat that parasites and diseases were further away from humans.
However, Chen Ze was still a little worried. Although roasting meat was indeed a very simple and plain cooking method, now that he had cut the meat, he had to change the roasting method.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Ze took out the honey that the customer gave him last time and smeared it on the meat.
Then, Chen Ze put the roasted meat into the oven and waited for the result.
