"Happy New Year?" Lavra blinked in confusion. She had never heard of this festival before.
"Is it the Arrival of the Gods Festival?" Elena asked curiously. She remembered that the Arrival of the Gods Festival was the biggest festival in the Holy City.
Every Advent Day was the day orphans like Elena and Andrew looked forward to the most because the Church would give them two extra pieces of black bread to fill their stomachs.
However, Elena no longer cared about Advent Day. She felt like only Chen Ze's place was heaven.
Elena looked around and thought of the hot water she felt every time she took a bath. She felt like this was what the white-robed priests were talking about.
"New Year's is a festival here. Anyway, it's very grand. Today's dishes are all free. Everyone, have a good time." Chen Ze picked up a cup. There was already cola in it. Everyone had a cup.
Saitama wasn't surprised and picked up the glass. He had drunk Coke before. Although he didn't know why Chen Ze would take it out at this time, Saitama didn't mind that it wasn't alcohol since there were so many delicious dishes.
Stan looked at the cup of black liquid in front of him. There were bubbles coming out of it from time to time. It reminded him of an alchemy potion he used to make. It was like this, but it could take someone's life just by smelling it.
Stan shook his head. What was he thinking? Chen Ze was the owner of a restaurant, and he was a regular customer here.
"Everyone, when I say cheers later, let's raise our cups and have a drink." Chen Ze suggested with a smile.
"No problem." Saitama was as calm as ever.
"We'll listen to Uncle Manager." Elena was still as sweet as ever.
"Hmph, how dare you order me …" Lavra turned her head away in disdain, but she still held the cup with her hand.
"Okay." Stan was still as taciturn as ever.
Chen Ze looked out the window. Although he couldn't see anything, it was dark outside when customers came in.
However, Chen Ze could hear the familiar sounds of firecrackers, see the beautiful fireworks, and smell the faint smell of gunpowder …
"Cheers!" Chen Ze laughed as he raised his cup and took a big gulp.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers."
"Hmph, cheers."
"Oh!"
"Cheers, Manager ~"
Looking at the lively guests around him and the familiar faces, Chen Ze was in a very good mood. He suddenly understood what it meant to be drunk, not drunk, but drunk. Although what he drank was not wine …
Saitama was the first to pick up his chopsticks. He picked up a piece of roast duck and put it into his mouth. Then, he narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
"Oh … Manager, your duck is too delicious, isn't it?" Saitama gave Chen Ze a thumbs up, and then took another piece.
"Mr. Saitama, there is another way to eat this roast duck. Come, come, let me teach you." Chen Ze smiled as he picked up a piece of dough and put it in a bowl. Then, he picked up a piece of roast duck meat, dipped it in sauce, and put it in the dough.
Chen Ze liked this kind of slice-skin duck. He ate it the same way he ate Peking Duck. Chen Ze liked the duck skin of the roast duck the most. It had a unique taste. Chen Ze thought that the duck skin of the roast duck was the most delicious part of the duck.
Saitama tried it according to Chen Ze's method. Then, his eyes widened. "It's really better!"
Chen Ze smiled and looked at Lavra. Since the toast just now, Lavra had been drinking Coke. Just now, she asked Betty to pour her another glass.
Chen Ze looked under the table quietly. There were already three empty bottles of Coke next to Lavra.
It was the kind with 2L bottles …
Chen Ze felt that Lavra's stomach might be uncomfortable tonight. After all, drinking too many carbonated drinks had a big impact on the stomach …
But vampires … should be fine?
Chen Ze looked at Stan, the silent Skeleton King. He was slowly eating the Buffy that Chen Ze prepared for him. He didn't touch the other dishes.
"Good, good. I prepared twenty Buffy." Chen Ze sighed in relief.
Stan was a sentimental person. After he came to the restaurant, his favorite was always the Buffy. So when Betty saw Stan, she immediately asked Chen Ze to prepare twenty Buffy.
No more, no less. After they finished eating, they paid the bill and left.
Chen Ze touched his pocket. After the Na Fei siblings came, Chen Ze went to the second floor and searched. He really did find a few red packets.
At this moment, Chen Ze handed two red packets to the siblings with a smile. He also gently patted their heads.
"Elena, Andrew, Happy New Year. Here are your red packets." Chen Ze had a nephew, but Chen Ze's family didn't have a good relationship with that family. So they didn't have much contact with each other.
But now that he had Elena and Andrew, Chen Ze could enjoy the pleasure of being an elder.
"Uncle Store Manager, Happy New Year!" Elena patted her chest and swallowed a piece of duck meat. She almost choked.
Andrew respectfully bowed before taking the red packet from Chen Ze. Although he didn't know what a red packet was, he didn't hesitate since it was from the store manager.
As soon as he took the red packet, Andrew realized what was inside.
"Uncle Store Manager, this …" Andrew was a little uneasy. If Andrew gritted his teeth and accepted Chen Ze giving them food and a bath, then the money made Andrew feel even more guilty.
After a rough touch, Andrew knew that there was a gold coin in the red packet, a shiny gold coin.
This was a gold coin. One gold coin could buy two homeless children like him.
Moreover, Chen Ze also gave Elena a red packet. That was two gold coins.
"Take it. This is our custom." Chen Ze smiled and patted Elena's head.
Andrew nodded. He felt that he would never be able to repay Chen Ze's kindness in this lifetime.
Then, Chen Ze turned his head and saw Betty wagging her tail excitedly. The words "I want the gold coin" were almost written on her face.
Chen Ze's mouth twitched. "Not for you."
"No, Store Manager!" Betty looked at Chen Ze with tears in her eyes. She tugged at Chen Ze's clothes and looked at Chen Ze pitifully.
"No." Chen Ze rolled his eyes and continued eating his New Year's Eve dinner.
Betty pouted and muttered something in a low voice.
Chen Ze vaguely heard something like, "The store manager is so stingy," "The store manager is not human," "You dump me after using me," and so on.
Chen Ze's mouth twitched. This little succubus must be watching anime on the second floor again.
Chen Ze took out a red packet and waved it. "This is your year-end bonus."
"Store Manager, you are … so handsome!"
