"Professor, do you want anything else other than wolfberry black tea?" Betty looked at Professor Moriarty with a smile and rubbed her stomach. She felt hungry again.
"Hmm … Give me a serving of Wensi Tofu, a light cheesecake, and a starry sky cake." Moriarty looked at the menu. There were always new dishes on it, but Moriarty's favorite was still dessert with black tea.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Betty nodded and went into the kitchen with the menu.
Moriarty leaned on his walking stick and thought about what Chen Ze said earlier. He said that Sherlock Holmes was a stubborn person. However, as far as Moriarty knew, Sherlock Holmes had never met the store manager before. Could it be that the store manager summed up Sherlock Holmes' character by reading the book?
This did not make sense. Even Moriarty would not be able to sum up a person's character just by reading a book. Even Holmes's foolish assistant might not have written a book that completely replicated the real world. There would always be some artistic embellishments to it.
"Interesting." Moriarty smiled and put his walking stick aside.
Moriarty decided to leave the scheming and battle of wits for later. Here, he just wanted to enjoy the quiet atmosphere and the delicious desserts.
Chen Ze was still making cakes in the kitchen. He planned to make the light cheesecake and starry sky cake first before he started on the Wensi Tofu. On the one hand, the Wensi Tofu was more difficult to make. On the other hand, this arrangement was more appropriate and would save Chen Ze less time.
After a while, Chen Ze put the light cheesecake into the oven and set the starry sky cake aside. Next, he could start making the Wensi Tofu.
Wensi Tofu had a high requirement of knife skills. However, Chen Ze was not a novice chef like he was when he first came in contact with Wensi Tofu. Besides, Chen Ze's cooking skills had improved a lot, so he cut the tofu very quickly.
"Betty, come and carry this dish out." Chen Ze was very fast. In just a short while, he had finished an exquisite Wen Si Tofu.
Then, Chen Ze began to work on the Light Cheese Cake and Starry Sky Cake. He then took a look at his Dragonworm Void Soup.
"… This isn't quite right, is it?" Chen Ze felt a little stomachache. The liquid in the pot in front of him had already turned from white liquid to black and white liquid. It really did feel a little like a Taiji diagram.
However, the smell was very bad. Chen Ze didn't even have the desire to drink it. This wasn't to say that the smell of this pot of soup was bad or disgusting.
From a certain point of view, the smell of this pot of soup was very fragrant. However, as the saying goes, too much is as bad as too little. This pot of soup was the same. The aroma was overflowing. It was as if dozens of perfumes were mixed together and then mixed together. In the end, all of them evaporated in a small room of five square meters. The fragrance was suffocating and nauseating.
"Blergh …" Chen Ze quickly closed the lid of the pot, preventing the biochemical weapon from continuing to release its power. Chen Ze felt that the low-quality perfume he smelled in the subway station was better than this.
Chen Ze shook his head. The experiment of this pot of soup was most likely a failure. However, the problem was, how could a chef evaluate the success of a dish based on its taste? In Chen Ze's opinion, to evaluate a dish, one should taste it. It was just like eating stinky tofu. It smelled bad, but it tasted good. Perhaps this pot of soup was the same?
Chen Ze looked at the pot of soup in front of him with a conflicted expression. Although it was true, if he let Chen Ze taste it … Chen Ze felt that he might die on the spot.
Chen Ze touched his pocket and took out an IOU from it. This was the money that Betty borrowed from Chen Ze to redeem Lindsay. Although Chen Ze deducted a lot of it later, Betty still owed Chen Ze 1,000 gold coins.
"Sigh, I'm sorry, Betty." Chen Ze sighed. He took out the light cheese cake and starry sky cake and placed them on a plate. Then, he asked Betty to come in and take the two desserts out.
When Betty came back to put the plate down, Chen Ze called out to Betty.
"What's wrong, manager?" Betty looked back in confusion. The manager had never called her before.
"Betty, don't you think you're a good employee?" Chen Ze looked at Betty meaningfully, which made Betty a little nervous.
A good employee … Betty felt that she could be considered a good employee. However, she also knew that the amount of food she ate every day was probably higher than her salary. Coupled with the benefits that Chen Ze provided, it was simply a blessing.
"Uh … Manager, if you need anything, just tell me. Betty, I'll definitely do it!" Betty patted her chest. Chen Ze seemed to hear the sound of a steel plate being hit.
Chen Ze subconsciously touched the bridge of his nose. Fortunately, this was Betty.
"Look, you still have an IOU with me. It's a thousand gold coins. As long as you drink a mouthful of soup today, I'll return this IOU to you and let you burn it. How about that?" Chen Ze waved the IOU in his hand with an expression that said, "You've struck gold."
Betty glanced at the pot of soup that Chen Ze was pointing at. She had to say, the black and white color looked pretty good.
"Manager, I just have one question. Please answer me." Betty looked at Chen Ze. 1000 gold coins for a mouthful of soup. It was really tempting.
"Go ahead." Chen Ze looked at Betty. Did Mo Fei become smarter?
"This soup … It's beautiful … Oh no, will it die if it drinks it?" Betty looked at Chen Ze with a serious face. She did not intend to miss any changes in his expression.
"This …" Chen Ze was a little hesitant. Looking at the hesitant Chen Ze, Betty's expression showed that she understood.
"I'll drink it! Lord Lavra is on the second floor. I don't think I'll die. " Betty opened the lid of the pot and scooped a spoonful of soup with lightning speed. Then, she stuffed it into her mouth and swallowed it.
Chen Ze covered his nose and quickly put the lid back. The smell was enough to poison him and Betty. He did not want to harm Professor Moriarty.
"How do you feel?" Chen Ze looked at Betty and asked expectantly.
"…" Betty did not respond. She just stood there in a daze and did not move.
"Betty?" Chen Ze pushed Betty. Betty fell to the ground in a daze. She had a blissful smile on her face, but she fainted.
"Looks like I can't drink it." Chen Ze silently put the pot of soup into the storage stone and sighed.
The Dragon Worm Soup did not seem to go well with the Void Ginseng.
