Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

Alice of the Land of Gems (Part 1)

Watching the two girls who had been hypnotized by their mother leaving the restaurant, the woman who had been standing behind the counter looked about twenty-five or six years old, and the originally indifferent and gentle smile on her face disappeared suddenly. not see.

“Ahhh, I’m really exhausted.”

With a complaint that was completely different from that of a lady, the woman raised her right hand, which was slightly clenched into a fist, and kept beating and massaging her stiff shoulder.

While saying this, she also looked forward to the left.

“Although it’s not that I don’t understand your concerns, manager, but asking the diners who came to taste your dishes tonight to help, isn’t it a bit too much?”

Not only women, but Cangxingshi and Cuixingshi, who were directing the thick plants to pack the tableware, nodded in agreement.

“That’s right, that’s right, the store manager, you are really irresponsible!”

“So, please fulfill our request well.”

Hearing what the three of them said, Xie Yunfei, who was sitting in a dark corner of the restaurant and had been secretly observing the situation of the Xiaoniaoyou sisters before, suddenly showed a helpless wry smile on his face.

He is the manager of Dimensional Cuisine, so it goes without saying. Just out of some practical considerations, Xie Yunfei didn’t come forward directly when greeting Shihua and Liuhua, but asked the two groups of guests tonight to help play the role of the store manager and the clerk respectively.

Fortunately, the guests other than Xiaoniaoyou and the two sisters are very talkative, and they are not Naiyako, Chaomeng and others who like to make trouble, or have a relatively arrogant and bad personality.

After listening to Xie Yunfei’s request for help, the woman first agreed boldly, and the dolls and their masters, after discussing with each other, also dispatched the Emerald Star Stone and the Cangxing Stone – originally raised The one who gestured for help was a girl doll named Chuberry, but just as her voice sounded in the restaurant, her mouth was covered by the gray-haired doll beside her, “Don’t make trouble, don’t forget we’re here the goal of.”

“……ok, I get it.”

Chu Berry pouted, although her face was full of eagerness to try, she finally sat down at the dining table and ate the snacks that Yunfei had prepared for everyone.

Although the figure in the pink shirt looks childish, it is not really unreasonable.

As for the other human figures, the Emerald Star Stone has a dark belly, the Cangxing Stone is young and mature, the Canary is innocent and kind, the Mercury Lamp is silent and cold, the Xuehua Qijing is quiet and calm, and… the last one that looks like a dead thing is called “true”. Red’ girl.

“I agreed to your request on behalf of everyone, but on the other hand, please be sure to cook the dishes I need.”

This is the reply from “Sakurata Jun”, the only human in this group of guests.

Simple, but direct.

This ‘boy’, who looked younger than Xie Yunfei, did not forget to push his glasses on the bridge of his nose when he spoke.

“As you can see, my partner ‘True Red’ has fallen into an eternal sleep due to some accidents, and will not wake up no matter how you call, so…” Sakurada Jun paused slightly, unconsciously in his tone Bringing Sisi Gentle, “I need you to cook a dish that can wake her up, preferably afternoon tea or something. Oh, by the way, I have asked someone to help prepare the ingredients.”

While recalling the conversation with several people more than an hour ago, Xie Yunfei stood up and walked towards the counter.

Shihua returned from the gate of the underworld with a small box. When leaving, the girl did not take it away, but stayed in the restaurant.

“It contained a ‘gift’ from my mother.” The woman who called herself ‘Hong Xiuli’ chuckled, raised her hand, and lightly touched something on the table with her index finger.

There was only a ‘click’, and the lock on the surface of the box was opened by some special force.

There was no dazzling light rising. On the contrary, one of the objects in the box was constantly absorbing the surrounding light and heat.

It was a transparent red round gemstone, about the size of an adult’s palm. With the slight shaking of the box, wavy ripples formed on the surface of the gemstone.

Before Xie Yunfei opened his mouth to speak, on the other side, Sakurada Jun who trotted to the side of the two eagerly picked up the gem. Carefully put it in front of his right eye and observe it carefully. After about half a minute, he nodded in satisfaction.

“Sure enough, I didn’t ask the wrong person.”

“Hmph, of course.” Hong Xiuli put her hands on her hips, her face was full of pride and self-satisfaction, “Except for a few special worlds, the biggest source of the ‘Sage’s Stone’ is the underworld. After the pretreatment of the mother, it is enough to be the rough stone for making the ‘Mother of the Rosary’.”

Sakurai Jun listened and nodded his head, but his eyes did not move away from the gem, “I have indeed remembered this kindness.”

Hong Xiuli was not annoyed when she saw this, and took out another item from the box and handed it to Xie Yunfei, “Here, these are the ingredients you need to add when making my dish later.”

When Sakurai Jun and Hong Xiuli were talking, Xie Yunfei, who was standing by the side, did not choose to interrupt, and asked the twoWhat is that red gemstone in his hand?

Regarding the transactions of these bigwigs, he never asks too much, but if it is the ingredients needed for cooking…

He took the paper box from Hong Xiuli with both hands, and carefully opened the cover on it.

Bursts of complex and changeable smells came out of it, making Xie Yunfei who was mentally prepared slightly taken aback.

His gaze moved downwards, converging on the somewhat too ordinary finely divided objects contained in the box.

The dark green, even dark green leaves are slightly rolled up due to the heat and frying, and the surface of some leaves is still a little burnt black.

“This is… tea?”

Xie Yunfei frowned.

“To be precise, it’s the bitter tea leaves made by my father.” As if remembering something, a trace of helplessness flashed across Hong Xiuli’s face. But then, she spread her hands, “I originally wanted my mother to bring up some fantasy ingredients that can only be produced in the gate of the underworld, so that it will be convenient for you to cook, but it may have appeared when I contacted her before.” Some accident caused her to send this thing over.”

“In other places, I would never make such a request to embarrass you, but this restaurant… once you place an order when you make an appointment, you can’t go back on it.” Hong Xiuli sighed with a wry smile, “So ,Feel sorry.”

——Please use this bitter tea to make a purple-grade dish.
