Chen Ze scratched his head. Just as he was worried, the restaurant had stocked up a lot of ingredients, but now they were all gone, especially the pork and chicken.
Other than some ingredients that were not eaten by the dragon, Sebastian and Jussel had completely eaten all the ingredients in the restaurant.
"I've never eaten such delicious food." Sebastian touched his stomach. He could not remember how many bowls of rice he had eaten.
Jussel was panting. His face was red from the spiciness, but even so, he was unwilling to remove his form.
"What do you know? Sichuan hotpot is the way to go. " Jussel, who heard the name of the hotpot from Chen Ze, was now completely captivated by the spiciness.
Chen Ze's mouth twitched. Even Sichuan hotpot was not this spicy. Chen Ze could guarantee that no one in their right mind would eat the food dipped in the water.
Not everyone could be like the Megalosaurus, who had the stomach to eat the Devil Chili and a lot of chili oil and still be fine.
"Manager, pay the bill. These are the ingredients I brought." Jussel wiped his mouth and reluctantly returned to his dragon form.
Then, he reached out his claws, took out two things from the broken black hole, and handed them to Chen Ze.
"This is the Dreamland Fruit. After eating it, you can see the things you dream of the most in your dreams. It's also very delicious." Chen Ze looked at the fruit that was about the size of an apple in his hand. He could smell a refreshing fragrance.
"And this is the Moonlight Mushroom. It's also an extremely rare delicacy." Chen Ze sniffed it. There was no smell, but there was an earthy fragrance.
As a native of the Yun Province, Chen Ze was more curious about the Moonlight Mushroom than the fruit that had some magical effects.
Only those who had eaten wild mushrooms would know why they were one of the rare delicacies.
Even if the relevant departments announced once a year that wild fungi should be eaten to prevent poisoning, it could not stop the determination of the foodies in Yun Province to eat fungi.
"It feels a little too little … I wonder how it tastes …" Chen Ze rubbed his chin and put the Moonlight Mushroom and Dream Fruit back into the kitchen.
"I'll head back first. Once this hourglass is empty, this little succubus can return." Jussel specially took out a small hourglass and handed it to Chen Ze.
Jussel wasn't sure if the flow of time in this world was the same as in his world. In order to avoid any problems, he took out the hourglass.
Chen Ze then handed it over to Betty. After speaking a few words with Jussel, he returned to the kitchen. He planned to use this time to make the Mapo Tofu that he wanted to make.
Betty held the hourglass in a daze. She watched the sand in the hourglass slide down continuously. She seemed to see a new direction in her gloomy life.
Chen Ze stood in the kitchen and put on his headscarf again. He was thinking about what went wrong with the steps of making the Mapo Tofu.
He made five servings of Mapo Tofu in a row, but they were all barely passable. There wasn't a single serving of ordinary Mapo Tofu.
Chen Ze checked the recipe. He was very sure that he had strictly followed the steps in the recipe. At most, there might be some problems with the knife skills and heat control.
Chen Ze looked at his ingredients and checked them again.
"Bean paste … Should I buy that brand of bean paste again?" Chen Ze looked at the bean paste he had bought and fell into deep thought.
The difference in the ingredients of the same dish could sometimes cause two different styles to appear in the same dish. Chen Ze looked at the cheap bean paste he had bought and felt that this should be the problem.
"Betty, I'm going out for a while. If there are any customers, please greet them and ask them to wait for a while. If there aren't any customers, you can go back when the hourglass is empty." Chen Ze changed into casual clothes and prepared to go to the supermarket to buy a few cans of bean paste.
"Store … Store Manager, aren't you afraid that I won't come back after I leave?" Betty bit her lips and asked with her head lowered.
"Why should I be afraid?" Chen Ze turned his head in confusion.
"Let's not talk about the fact that you probably don't have anywhere to go. Besides, can you find a better job in the human world than here?" Chen Ze snorted disdainfully. He had heard from Betty that the salary here was terrifyingly high.
"Store Manager …" Betty looked at Chen Ze with tears in her eyes.
"Most importantly, I have Jussel in the Positive Realm, and the Bone King and the Loli Vampire in the Negative Realm. I'm not worried that you'll run away at all. "Chen Ze's next words made Betty so touched that she stopped crying.
Betty silently looked at Chen Ze's back as he left. She cursed Chen Ze countless times in her heart.
However, just as Chen Ze pushed open the door and left, he encountered quite a bit of trouble.
"Little Store Manager, you've made me wait for a long time!" Chen Ze blinked his eyes and recognized that these were the old men who had eaten the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs the other day.
"Sirs, what are you doing?" Chen Ze was a little uncertain. If they regretted eating the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and wanted Chen Ze to give them a refund, that would be unpleasant.
"Little Store Manager, your store's … Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, is it still selling?" the old man in the lead asked with a little urgency.
"Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs? No, it hasn't been in stock for a while. "Chen Ze shook his head. He really didn't expect that these old men were actually here to eat the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs.
"Young man, do you think it was sold too cheaply? This time, I'm willing to pay … a thousand for a piece of your ribs! "another old man with glasses interrupted.
"A … a thousand?" Chen Ze was dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs could be sold for such a high price. Although the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs made with Strong Liquor Grass were delicious, it shouldn't be at this level.
"Because it's worth that price." The old man shook his head, took off his glasses, and wiped his tears.
That night, Professor Wang dreamed of his wife. The dream was very clear. He even remembered how his wife, who had already passed away, nagged him to drink hot water when he woke up in the morning and to soak his feet in the hot water every night.
Even when he was about to wake up, his wife still hugged him, telling him to live well and that she was fine down there.
Such a dream was too realistic. When Professor Wang woke up, his face was already covered in tears.
At first, he thought it was a coincidence. However, a few days later, when he chatted with a few old friends while drinking, he realized that everyone had met the person they missed the most that night.
After doing a count, they realized that all of them had eaten the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs. Therefore, the old men gathered together to eat another piece.
"Little Store Manager … As long as I can see my wife, I'm willing to pay ten thousand for a piece of ribs!" Professor Wang's eyes were already red as he spoke.
"Yes, yes, I'm also willing to see my comrades again."
"Yes … My son has been gone for more than ten years. I was going to …"
Looking at these old men surrounding him, Chen Ze felt a headache coming on.
