"Grandpas, please don't talk nonsense about this. The dishes served by our restaurant don't have the effect you're talking about," Chen Ze quickly denied. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to continue operating his restaurant.
The world was so big, but he had never heard of any restaurant that could make people dream, let alone have such an effect.
Chen Ze was determined not to let this label be placed on his head. This kind of label could lead to trouble.
If he didn't decline this time and vaguely admitted it, Chen Ze would have to consider whether it was time to close down his restaurant if that sick person came to eat his dishes and happened to be cured.
Moreover, just the matter of making people dream of their loved ones was enough for Chen Ze to be investigated by the relevant departments to see if he had put any illegal ingredients in the dish.
When he thought of the Bone King pushing the door open and walking in while the investigation was going on … Chen Ze felt that he would be imprisoned for life in the next moment.
And if it was the vampire loli who pushed the door open and walked in … Our country had a complete set of criminal laws.
"Okay, okay, okay. Let's not talk about this." Professor Wang was also a sensible person. When he saw Chen Ze's expression, he realized that there was something inconvenient about this matter.
"Then, little store manager, let's talk about when you can make Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs next time." Professor Wang smiled very kindly.
"This … I really can't guarantee …" Chen Ze didn't know when comrade Bone King would come again.
"Aiya, little store manager, this is your fault," Professor Wang patted Chen Ze's shoulder with a lot of strength. Chen Ze felt a little pain.
"You see, if we go online and talk about what happened here, do you think …" Professor Wang didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was very clear.
Chen Ze helplessly covered his face. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have brought out the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs. He would rather eat it than sell it.
Thinking of the money he received last time, Chen Ze suddenly felt that the money wasn't good enough.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I really can't do anything about that. After all, I'm just a small chef and I don't think I'm a famous chef. So even if you say so, it's impossible for me to bring out a dish with such an effect." Chen Ze had no choice but to resort to coercion and bribery.
"You little brat …" An old man stomped his feet in anger.
Professor Wang sighed and pulled his friend aside. "Old Li, don't say anymore. This time, we really took it for granted. How could there be that kind of cuisine at this time?"
"Sigh … It's not that I don't know … It's just that when I think of those old comrades … my heart …" Old Li shook his head, his tone a little depressed.
Chen Ze watched silently. He also wanted to help these old men, but the price was too high. The hidden danger was too great. He could only remain silent.
Looking at these old men who sighed and left, Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief. This also made him decide that in the future, it would be best for him to taste all kinds of dishes himself. After confirming that there were no problems, he would sell them.
"This is also a lesson for me …" Chen Ze called a taxi. He still had to buy ingredients.
After a few cans of bean paste, Chen Ze returned to his own restaurant in a short time. When he pushed open the door, Chen Ze saw Betty who was looking at the hourglass with her chin resting on her hand. Chen Ze took a look and found that half of the hourglass had gone down.
"Ma … Manager!" Only then did Betty react. She stood up hurriedly.
"Don't be so flustered. You can go back in a while. Are you happy?" Chen Ze closed the door with a smile. He took out the bean paste and prepared to go into the kitchen.
"Yes, but also a little nervous …" Thinking of the environment she used to live in, Betty shivered.
"It's okay. It will be better in the future." Chen Ze didn't know how to comfort people. After holding it in for quite a while, he could only squeeze out such a sentence.
"Um …" Betty seemed to have something on her mind.
However, Chen Ze didn't pay too much attention to it. Sometimes, it was better to have some peace and quiet.
Looking at the bean paste, Chen Ze put on his headscarf and returned to the kitchen in high spirits.
[You made a terrible Mapo Tofu.]
"What the … What kind of rubbish bean paste is this? It's not fit to enter my kitchen in the future!" Chen Ze threw the can of bean paste into the trash can.
[You made a barely passable Mapo Tofu.]
"Looks like it's not this one."
[You made a normal Mapo Tofu.]
"Found it!" Chen Ze looked at the bean paste in front of him with satisfaction and nodded his head.
"But I still have to find time to learn how to cook …" Chen Ze was still a little dissatisfied. He felt that his cooking skills were still limited.
However, this was normal. Chen Ze didn't think that he could be compared to those famous chefs because he was a chef who started out of nowhere. Without systematic learning and training, it wasn't enough for him to become a chef.
Chen Ze put the Mapo Tofu on a plate and sniffed it. The air was filled with a spicy and fresh fragrance, which made people feel very hungry.
After scooping out a bowl of rice, Chen Ze took the rice and Mapo Tofu out. This was the staff meal he prepared for Betty.
"Betty, come and eat a little. We have to go back in a while." Chen Ze looked at the hourglass. It was almost empty.
"O … Okay …" Betty ate the steaming hot Mapo Tofu uneasily.
Looking at Betty who almost put the spoon into his nose, Chen Ze slapped her hand unhappily.
"Come back and eat after you go back." Chen Ze waved his hand and went back into the kitchen. He planned to go to a cooking school and learn for a while after Betty left.
Betty didn't hear Chen Ze's words at all. She kept staring at the hourglass in front of her, watching the sand drop down one by one.
The freedom that she had always longed for, the freedom that she had always dreamed of, the freedom that she had always dreamed of, was so close at this moment.
Betty was a little anxious. She was very worried that after the Megalosaurus went back, it would forget about her. What should she do then?
If it forgot and Betty went back, then she might be imprisoned in another place. Moreover, she might be tortured by that perverted old man.
Betty touched the scar on her calf. A trace of panic flashed through her eyes.
But even so, time was still passing. After a while, the sand in the hourglass was empty.
Betty turned her head. She wanted to ask Chen Ze if she could return to this place. She wanted to ask Jussel if he would fulfill his promise.
Looking at Chen Ze who was cutting vegetables in the kitchen, Betty gave up on this idea.
She took a deep breath. She sucked in until her chest hurt and she couldn't breathe in anymore. Then, she slowly took a step forward and pushed open the door that led her out of hell.
In front of her was the familiar basement. The dirty bed, the gloomy environment, the crawling insects, and the black and hard bread that she had eaten before.
Betty hurriedly turned her head, but the door had already closed automatically. There was only the cold wall behind her.
"Betty? You came so slowly. "Betty turned her head in surprise. Jussel was holding a gold brick and biting it.
"Store manager, did you come up with a new dish?" This was Jussel's second sentence.
