It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 454: So pink and soft, hehehe
After returning to the lounge, Liu Zheng made a few phone calls and finally felt relieved after confirming that everyone was safe.

"Boss, I'm going to the kitchen to deliver the takeaway."

He said to the cows and horses.

"You're crazy, going in and out all the time. You'll wake me up again when you come back later."

"There's still time. Can't you just stay still for a while and wait until I get a good night's sleep before sending me off?"

The cows and horses cursed.

"Boss, you know me well. I can't sleep well until I finish my work."

Liu Zheng smiled and said.

He knew that the cows and horses had good intentions and wanted him to rest for a while, but that was just his habit.

In real life, unless he has too much work to do, he will finish his work before eating.

This is a manifestation of obsessive-compulsive disorder in psychology. Liu Zheng actually knows it, but he is too lazy to care.

Life is full of troubles, and this is just a problem at best.

"Go, go, go, bring me a bottle of wine, or you can't sleep tonight and just squat in the corner."

Niuma said impatiently.

"okay."

Liu Zheng agreed, left the lounge and went to the kitchen.

When I entered the kitchen, there were still only white-feathered chickens and a few staff on duty.

"Good evening, Chef Boss, you haven't rested yet?"

He said hello.

"Asking knowingly."

The white-feathered chicken glanced at him.

In a place like the kitchen, whether the chef is there or not is two completely different concepts.

Anyone who comes to the restaurant to eat at this time must be either rich or noble. If they are not satisfied, the cooking staff will be in trouble, and the head chef will definitely not be able to escape responsibility.

So instead of taking a rest in fear, it is better to just watch here and feel at ease.

Moreover, chickens are animals that only have light sleep, so they can just take a nap when they have nothing to do and wake up when they have something to do. It's not a big problem.

"Hey, I'm here to deliver food."

Liu Zheng said.

"Well, the salmon is sleeping. Go find it yourself."

The white-feathered chicken said.

"Besides, my boss asked me to bring it a bottle of wine."

he said again.

"Hmph, it does know how to enjoy itself."

The white-feathered chicken snorted, walked to the spice rack, took a bottle from it, tore off the label, and handed it to Liu Zheng.

"Give it this to drink."

it said.

"what is this?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"You'll know if you smell it."

The white-feathered chicken said expressionlessly.

"Can I not smell it?"

he asked tentatively.

"Okay, but are you sure you want to give it to the cows and horses like this?"

"Ah, okay."

Liu Zheng sighed, resigned himself to his fate and pulled out the stopper and smelled it.

"Ok?"

Surprisingly, it was quite normal, with the smell of wine mixed with the flavors of several spices and fruits.

He could only smell one of the scents, which was citrus; the others were unfamiliar.

"It doesn't seem to have any strange smell?"

"There isn't any here, this is cooking wine for seasoning."

The white-feathered chicken replied.

"Well, it's not nice to use cooking wine to fool my boss. It turns out it's from the kitchen, so I'm sure you can tell it's there."

Liu Zheng said.

"With its mediocre cooking skills, how can it say that it came from the kitchen? As for wine tasting, it is even worse. Everything it drinks tastes the same. The higher the alcohol content and the more stimulating the taste, the better the wine. This bottle of cooking wine, which is specially used to remove the fishy smell of strong-flavored ingredients, is just right for it."

"Do you want it or not? If not, I'll take it away. Don't even think about asking for any other wine."

The white-feathered chicken pretended to take the cooking wine.

"Yes, yes, yes. Something is better than nothing."

He quickly put it in his pocket.

It is not known whether the relationship between white-feathered chickens and cows and horses is good or bad.

It’s hard to say, but these two non-humans share everything with each other and dare to entrust each other with any private matters. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they are best friends.

Well, they are determined to make the other party suffer, and letting the other party take advantage of them is more painful than losing everything they have.

I don’t understand. I don’t understand.

Liu Zheng shook his head and came to the cat's nest.

The calico cat has discovered a new sleeping position. It sleeps upright with its four legs facing the sky, but its head hangs outside the cat bed, making it look like it has been dead for some time.

Although he knew that with its strength, it would be fine even if it hung itself up to sleep, Liu Zheng still felt uncomfortable watching it, and cautiously stretched out his tentacles, trying to help it adjust its sleeping position.

As a result, just as he stretched out his tentacles, his eyes blurred, and when he looked again, the calico cat had turned into a standing posture with a hunched back.

"Meow~"

The calico cat stretched lazily.

"Liu Zheng, you're here again, meow. Are you going to bring me something delicious?"

It asked lazily.

"Yes, I drink it, but I'm not sure if it tastes good or not."

Liu Zheng took out the cup of water that had been there for two days and placed it in front of the calico cat.

"Hello, your takeaway has arrived."

He said this in a serious tone.

"Oh."

The calico cat stuck out its pink tongue and licked it, then pushed it aside in disgust.

"Liu Zheng, it's not tasty, meow."

It complained.

This was expected. After all, the legendary takeout box had contained all kinds of messes, so it was good enough that nothing weird grew out of it.

"I'll bring you something delicious next time."

Liu Zheng comforted.

"By the way, you can drink milk and chocolate, right?"

Cats in real life cannot drink it, but extraordinary species like calico cats should have no problem.

"Sure, meow~ I like chocolate milk the most, meow~"

The calico cat said.

"Okay, then I'll bring you hot chocolate milk with Unlucky Coffee next time."

Liu Zheng said.

"That's great, meow~ I'll give you a pinch, meow~"

The calico cat took the initiative to stretch out its pink paws.

"Hey, so soft and pink~"

He happily pinched the paw a few times, then reluctantly put it down under the glare of the calico cat's owner.

"By the way, what does Chef Boss like to drink?"

Liu Zheng asked about the white-feathered chicken.

"Ice lemon coke."

The white-feathered chicken glanced at him and replied.

"Okay, I'll remember that."

Liu Zheng said with a strange expression.

White-feather chicken and ice-lemon cola are indeed a perfect match, and it would be even better if they are fried.

"Do you want to be blown up?"

The white-feathered chicken asked coldly.

With his many years of experience as a chef, how could he not know what Liu was thinking.

"No, no, I don't want to. Well, I'm leaving first, you guys go ahead and do your work."

He quickly said goodbye and left.

If he stayed any longer, he would become the kitchen's midnight snack.

Back in the lounge, Niu Ma was reading the newspaper.

"Boss, I'm back."

Liu Zheng shouted.

"I'm back, so what are you yelling about? Where's my wine?"

Niuma asked without even looking up.

"Here it is."

He took the cooking wine out of his pocket.

"Just wine but no food?"

"Not bad, I begged for this bottle of wine for a long time."

Liu Zheng said.

"Look at your cowardly look, why don't you dare to fight with that chicken?"

Niu Ma said with disdain. "He is the department head, and I am just an ordinary employee. Our status is not equal. How about you take me with you again and I will cheer for you?"

he suggested.

"Forget it. I'm afraid I'll crush it to death. What if the boss asks me to be the head chef? I have no problem with that, but you definitely can't run a takeaway store."

Niuma paused and said.

"That makes sense. You are indeed a big boss. You are really far-sighted and considerate of us little brothers."

Liu Zheng said admiringly.

"Oh, of course. Where are your dried fish? Give me a few pieces as a snack."

"okay."

He placed the wine and dried fish in front of the cattle and horses.

There was no table, so it was placed directly on the ground.

But anyway, there are only two of them using this lounge, so it won't make you sick if you eat in it even if it's not clean.

"Why does this bottle look so familiar?"

Niuma picked up the bottle and took a look at it, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Boss, you have drunk all kinds of wine, so it's normal to see the same wine bottles."

Liu Zheng said.

"Well, that makes sense."

The cow and horse agreed with his statement, bit off the cork and poured a mouthful of it into their mouths.

"Gan, you're trying to fool me with cooking wine, right?"

It cursed out loud immediately.

"Napoleon gave it to me, but I didn't take it myself."

Liu Zheng quickly distanced himself from the matter.

"Then you can't change the bottle?"

"It said this bottle is free, but it won't give me the others. I can't do anything about it. It's because I can't beat it."

He cried out in injustice.

"Bullshit, I think you did it on purpose."

"Cooking wine is also wine. You didn't spit it out, which means it tastes good. It's free, so why would you want a bicycle, right?"

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Well, it's your money to buy it, so it's free for me. Give me ten more dried fish."

Niuma reluctantly accepted his explanation.

"Boss, where did you get this newspaper?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"From customer service."

"Don't you have a bad relationship with Britain?"

He asked curiously.

"If you have a good relationship, you'll take advantage of it. If you don't have a good relationship, you'll take advantage of it even more. Besides, they throw away so many newspapers and magazines every day, so what's wrong with me picking up a few?"

Niuma said confidently.

"That makes sense, can I take a look?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Why? If you want to see it, go to the customer service department and pick it up yourself."

The cattle and horses were unhappy.

"I don't have the ability to do that. Let me take a look, maybe I can find some opportunities to make a fortune."

"Oh, you sound like you found out you have time to do that."

Niuma taunted.

A delivery man is busier than those directors and secretary generals in the city hall.

"I don't have time, but you do. When you make money, just give me half of it."

Liu Zheng said.

"You're dreaming. I'm still paying 20%. Giving you a little consulting fee is good enough. Take it away and look aside. Don't disturb me while I'm drinking."

The cows and horses were moved.

"okay."

He rolled up the newspaper, returned to his small stool and started looking for the content that concerned him.

Good, there is no report about the update of the scratch-off lottery prize pool, so the surprise can still be retained.

After feeling relieved, Liu Zheng began to read the newspaper carefully.

Soon, he found a report that interested him.

"Today, the Deep Sea Empire protested to the City Hall regarding the trafficking of the mermaid princess Kova and a large number of mermaid citizens. The City Hall stated that the Metropolis and the Deep Sea Empire have always been friendly neighbors and respect each other."

"The City Hall is deeply shocked and saddened by the trafficking of mermaids. City Hall spokesman Geng Bushang said that the Public Security Bureau will work with multiple departments to carry out joint law enforcement to crack down on illegal activities such as trafficking of mermaids and smuggling of uninspected food."

"Oh my goodness, the Yuanshen Sect is in trouble."

Liu Zheng said with a sigh.

"What bad luck is going to happen?"

Niuma asked casually.

"Just the Garcia incident last time. Their incident became public."

He briefly recounted the contents of the newspaper.

"It's all your fault for letting the guy run away."

Niuma said unhappily.

"I can't help it. She gave me too much."

Liu Zheng held up the Heart of the Ocean in front of his chest and said.

Although the triggering conditions of this item are a bit harsh, once triggered it is no worse than perfect quality equipment. It has also helped him win several life-and-death battles, so it is still very worthwhile.

"No matter how much you are given, you have to be alive to take it. If I hadn't spoken up for you, you would have been slaughtered by the white-feathered chicken right then."

Niuma said with disdain.

"Yes, yes, sir, I will never forget your great kindness."

He said it sincerely.

"Humph. But that old guy Garcia is really going to be in big trouble. He deserves it. It's his fault for kidnapping me in the first place. Hahahaha."

The cattle and horses laughed wildly.

The joint law enforcement by multiple departments also involves diplomatic incidents. Not to mention a small Yuanshen sect, even the bald donkeys in the metaverse would tremble in fear.

"Speaking of which, Boss, how did you end up being sold to the Bloody Restaurant?"

Liu Zheng took the opportunity to ask.

He is really curious.

"After I escaped from the farm, I happened to run into people from the Yuanshen sect who came to steal things, and then I was caught red-handed and sold to a restaurant."

"Well, it's also quite darkly humorous."

Liu Zheng didn't know what expression to make.

"There are so many such things. There are not so many tragic heroes in the world. Most people are just clowns."

Niuma said nonchalantly.

"maybe."

He said noncommittally.

Liu Zheng thought of the lucky clown card.

If Niu Ma really didn't care, he wouldn't have kept such a card around.

After all, I still feel a little unwilling.

"But luckily I didn't agree to Garcia joining them as a saint."

Liu Zheng said thankfully.

"What are you afraid of? With your ability, you can become a famous prisoner in prison. When you are released, you can create more glory with your fellow thugs and become bigger and stronger."

The cows and horses teased.

"Forget it, I'll be fine if I can become a chrysanthemum. I'm not very good at understanding, so I'd better let others go to Longchang to learn the truth."

He shook his head.

"If the Yuanshen Sect is wiped out, wouldn't it be easier for you to start your smuggling business?"

Although the white-feathered chicken promised to give priority to the sounds of cattle and horses, the other smugglers certainly did not want to have one more guy snatching food.

Especially the Yuanshen Sect, which already had a grudge against cattle and horses, so they wanted to kill them as soon as possible.

"Fuck! It's not easy at all. My business plan will be postponed again."

The cows and horses were stunned for a moment, then wailed loudly.

"What?"

Liu Zheng was puzzled.

"It's all in the newspapers. Do you think the city hall will only crack down on a small scoundrel from the Circle God Sect? They will definitely do everything at once."

Niuma said.

"Look at the bright side. If the city hall wipes out all the smugglers, then the smuggling market will be vacated. Then not only can you sell your goods to restaurants, but other buyers will also have to buy from you."

he comforted.

"You are a quick thinker. But who knows how long this joint law enforcement will take. If it takes a year or two, then the opportunity will be lost."

Niu Ma calmed down a little after hearing this.

"It won't be long."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"why?"

Niuma asked.

"because."

He was about to explain, but suddenly stopped and looked towards the door.
