People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Thinking of this, Lucifer wasn't so angry anymore. He picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let me make this clear first, I'm just hungry, I haven't forgiven the ignorance of those mortals!"

Bai Yu sighed; he was still as arrogant as ever. But looking at Lucifer, who was enjoying his meal, Bai Yu suddenly realized that Lucifer's fame might not be without reason.

"Hmm... what is this dish called 'White Feather'?"

"Oh, this is called green papaya salad. But you can't eat that as a main dish. You can try this instead."

"what is this?"

"Since it's all Chinese food today, this is definitely a must~ Try it~ West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce~"

"Hmm...it tastes pretty good~"

"Just a little?"

"It's delicious, okay! Seriously..."

Chapter 45 The Siblings at the Shop Entrance (Please add to your favorites!!!!)

Lucifer and Cerberus basically took care of the meal. It wasn't that Bai Yu had no appetite; he just found it quite interesting to watch the two of them eat.

Lucifer ate a little more than usual because he was in a better mood. After the meal, Bai Yu was tidying up the table, Cerberus was slumped in his chair like a lazy bum, and Lucifer was looking down at his phone, seemingly checking something.

"Huh?! This place called China actually has so many kinds of cuisine?"

After the meal, Lucifer immediately picked up her phone and started looking up what Chinese food was available. At first, she thought there were only eight dishes when she found the eight major cuisines, but after learning more about it, she suddenly realized that this was beyond quantity. This country called China is just too amazing!

Bai Yu stretched and looked at the setting sun outside the window. He glanced at Cerberus, who was humming something to himself, and asked, "Cerberus, what's wrong?"

Cerberus shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing! I just feel a little full~ I'll be fine in a bit~"

Lucifer said irritably, "Can't you use magic to digest it?"

Cerberus quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no! Master's food must be eaten properly and then you can slowly savor the digestion process!"

Lucifer rolled his eyes and said, "Feeling the digestion process... what's so great about feeling that... whatever~ whatever you want~"

Bai Yu thought for a moment, then went back to the kitchen. When she came out again, she was holding a glass of red drink. She placed it in front of Cerberus and said, "Drinking this will make you feel better~"

Cerberus paused, picked up the cup, smelled it, then sniffed and said, "Master, master, master! What is this? It tastes sour!"

Bai Yu chuckled and said, "Your sense of smell is quite keen~ Don't worry~ It's nothing strange, it's just a kind of juice~ It helps with digestion and will make you feel better~ But drink it slowly, okay~"

"Okay, I got it!"

"Wow... Master! This stuff has a really weird sour taste! But it's also kind of sweet and tastes really good~ What kind of fruit is this?"

"It's just hawthorn~ Of course, you added a few other things too~ Otherwise, a cup of hawthorn juice would be very sour~ You can drink it slowly first~ I'll go open the shop door~"

After saying that, he turned around and went to open the door. Cerberus glanced at the juice in his hand and continued to sip it. Lucifer suddenly felt that digesting it slowly like this was not bad. She would not admit that she actually wanted to drink it too.

"Do you still feel full?"

"Hmm~"

Bai Yu sighed and sat down next to Cerberus, saying somewhat helplessly, "Come a little closer~"

Cerberus was taken aback but did as he was told. After doing so, Cerberus looked at Bai Yu with a puzzled expression. Then, to Cerberus's disbelief, Bai Yu placed his hand on Cerberus's stomach.

Cerberus was stunned. Lucifer said impatiently, "You're not really going to...?"

"I really don't know how you became the Queen of Hell. This is just a human digestive method, right? Rubbing your belly can speed up digestion!"

Cerberus watched as Bai Yu gently rubbed his stomach, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, Bai Yu slowly released his hand; logically, such a long time should have allowed him to digest.

But as soon as Bai Yu removed his hand, Cerberus grabbed it. Bai Yu was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Cerberus lowered its head as if deep in thought. After a long while, it raised its head and looked at Bai Yu with pitiful eyes, saying, "Master, Master, Master~ Still holding on!"

Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay~ But this massage can't last too long, just the last five minutes~ If you're still feeling the effects, get up and walk around a bit~"

Cerberus nodded repeatedly. Bai Yu looked at the messages on his phone while rubbing Cerberus's stomach. After exactly five minutes, Bai Yu withdrew his hand. This time, Cerberus did not resist. Although there was some disappointment in his eyes, he quickly cheered up.

She was actually already better, she just wanted Bai Yu to massage her a little longer. Cerberus quickly accepted it, since it wasn't the last meal, and she could just eat a little more in the future!

Thinking of this, Cerberus became happy again. Lucifer looked at Cerberus wagging its tail and a look of curiosity flashed in her eyes. She suddenly became very curious about the massage, but she could only wait until she ate more next time and try it herself. She had just noticed that Cerberus's expression was really comfortable.

Just as Bai Yu was about to get a book, she saw a small figure at the door. Bai Yu was taken aback and went over to take a look, only to find that a very cute little boy had come here at some point.

Bai Yu crouched down slightly and said, "What's wrong, little friend? Do you want something to eat?"

The little boy shook his head, but his eyes shone as he looked at Bai Yu. Just as Bai Yu was about to say something, a girl with long brown hair ran over and grabbed the boy, saying, "Really~ Don't run around~ You're making me so anxious~ I'm so sorry~ Eh? Are you the owner of this shop?"

Bai Yu nodded, and the girl smiled and said, "You're really amazing! You have such a big store at such a young age~ Sorry, manager~ we have to go now!"

After saying that, she pulled the little boy who had been watching Bai Yu away. Bai Yu only vaguely heard a very gentle female voice say, "Ugh~ Really~ I was so worried just now~"

"Sorry, Mom~ I wasn't watching him properly~ Let's continue~"

"Hmm~ I heard there's a really good beauty store here."

"Eh? That's really nice..."

Hearing what sounded like a conversation between a mother and two daughters, Bai Yu chuckled and shook his head, saying, "What an adorable child! But that girl..."

"What's wrong? Which girl have you set your sights on this time?"

"Lucifer, why do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Is not it?"

"I may be a carnivore, but I wouldn't go that far~ I just thought that girl seemed to be wearing a Katagiri High School uniform... which was kind of strange, but she was probably just out shopping in the next town~"

Lucifer nodded and then said to Bai Yu, "Hey? Bai Yu, I don't recall ever seeing you go out with your friends during the day. Could it be...?"

Bai Yu laughed and said, "I have quite a few friends, but most of them are busy during the day, and most are either exhausted or studying at night, so it's usually quite quiet. We mostly communicate via our phones."

"Oh~ This is the first time I've seen the whole process of you opening your shop~ Will you have any repeat customers today?"

"Probably~ But it would be even better if there were new customers~ I wonder what kind of customers we'll have today..."

PS: Bonus chapter! A new character will appear in the next chapter. If you guess correctly, there will be an extra chapter.

Chapter 46 Fuji Syusuke (Please add to your favorites!!!!!)

It was late at night, and the store was very quiet. The only sounds were Cerberus's occasional laughter and Bai Yu's turning of the pages. Lucifer was looking at his phone intently and nodding occasionally.

It was already past nine o'clock at night, and the shop was still empty. Bai Yu looked up, cracked his neck, and said, "Hmm~ What a relaxing night~"

Lucifer said while looking at his phone, "You're really strange~ Why would you want fewer customers when you own a shop?"

Bai Yu closed the book, leaned back in his chair, took a sip of the rich aroma of the black tea wafting from the table, and said with a smile, "Because I said~ I didn't originally come here to make money~ It's nice to relax when there are no customers~"

Lucifer chuckled softly, then suddenly noticed something and narrowed his eyes. Bai Yu was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Did you see something strange?"

Lucifer shook his head and stared intently at the contents of his phone screen. Bai Yu was curious about Lucifer's expression, but not so curious as to run over and take a look.

Just as Bai Yu was finishing reading the rest of the book, the door opened, and a smiling young man in a tracksuit carrying a large bag walked in. Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Long time no see~ Fuji."

Fuji said in a very gentle voice, "Yes~ It's been a long time~ My sister wasn't home today, so I came over. My sister was really envious when she found out~"

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Your sister's personality is more like your mother's. Are you the only one?"

Fuji nodded with a smile, and Shiro didn't ask any further questions, simply saying, "Let's find a place to sit down~ What would you like to eat?"

After putting down his bag, Fuji thought for a moment and said, "Then... Mapo tofu and rice, I guess. As for drinks... I really don't know what to order right now..."

Bai Yu chuckled and said, "Given your sense of taste, I should know what you want to drink~ But do you just want Mapo Tofu?"

Fuji thought about it seriously for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's have wasabi sashimi~ As for the fish, Shiraha, you can choose whatever you like~"

Bai Yu nodded and walked into the kitchen. As the boy was looking around the much larger shop, he heard Bai Yu casually say, "Hellfire spicy, huh?"

"Hmm~"

"As expected of you~"

Lucifer looked up at the person named Fuji, then looked down at his phone again. Fuji glanced at Lucifer and Cerberus, his eyes, which had been squinting, opened slightly, and then continued to look around with a smile.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Yu came out of the kitchen carrying a light orange drink and a large plate, and the boy's gaze turned towards her.

"Hmm~ As expected of Shiraha~ It looks delicious, I can't wait~"

Bai Yu chuckled and said, "You've said that at least ten times already."

"But every time, I have the same anticipation~ What is this drink?"

"This drink tastes really weird~ I doubt anyone but you could drink it~"

Fuji paused for a moment, then picked up the cup and took a sip. The first taste was slightly bitter, followed by a tingling sensation on his tongue. As soon as he swallowed, he felt a spicy taste in his throat. The taste quickly disappeared, replaced by a slightly sweet taste.

Fuji sighed and said, "This is really good~ It tastes so good~"

With a slightly helpless smile, Bai Yu said, "Only you can accept this taste~ But you came so late without Tezuka, looks like he had something to do tonight~"

Fuji nodded and said, "Well, after all, Tezuka is the captain, and his grandfather caught a fish tonight, so he went home."

Bai Yu nodded and said softly, "Just grind the wasabi yourself. And the soy sauce is the kind you always love—add as much wasabi as you like. I'm going back now."

"Hmm~"

After Bai Yu left, Fuji looked at the large piece of wasabi in front of him, picked it up, and started grinding it on the grinding board. The amount he ground was terrifying.

"That's all for now~ Let's give it a try..."

As Fuji spoke, he picked up a slice of sashimi that was pure white and translucent with a hint of pink, dipped it in his own hellish amount of special wasabi soy sauce, and then slowly put it into his mouth.

As soon as the fish slice entered his mouth, Fuji's eyes widened. Looking at the slices of raw fish in front of him, Fuji suddenly felt that he could be satisfied just by eating raw fish all day.

"Huh? It's tuna! The texture is amazing, and why does it have such a unique flavor?"

"I knew you'd comment on this. I sliced ​​this sashimi with a knife that had been soaking in spiced water. Then I massaged it a bit and squeezed in some lemon juice. Don't worry, it was only two small slices."

Fuji nodded, and then began to devour the sashimi in front of him without stopping. He had never imagined that sashimi could taste so good.

The tuna has an extremely chewy texture, a subtle flavor from various spices in a secret spice broth, a touch of lemon juice to enhance the freshness, and is served with fresh wasabi and a secret-recipe soy sauce.

Each bite felt like a gentle massage to his taste buds, a sensation that gradually revitalized him and completely rekindled his appetite after the workout.

"Aww~ So delicious~"

There aren't many sashimi options to begin with, and because it was so delicious, Fuji didn't stop eating and kept satisfying his stomach and taste buds until he finished.

Just as Fuji was about to take a sip of his drink, a very spicy but delicious aroma wafted out, causing Fuji's mouth to water.

Nothing speeds up saliva production more than sour and spicy flavors. Sometimes, just thinking about it makes your mouth water as if you've eaten a very sour bayberry.

When Bai Yu walked over carrying the small, slightly bubbling, bright red black pot, he saw Fuji's open eyes and smiled, saying, "Looks like I've satisfied your taste, otherwise you wouldn't have dared to open your eyes~"

Fuji chuckled twice, looked at the bright red Mapo Tofu in front of him, which looked incredibly spicy and hot, swallowed hard, picked up a spoon, scooped up a piece of tofu that was still trembling slightly because it was too hot, blew on it a few times, and then ate it.

"Ugh! Huff~ Huff~ Huff~"

The first sensation upon tasting the tofu is its heat, followed by its smooth texture. Only when you bite into it do the spiciness and numbing sensation fully burst forth. In addition, tofu is a very easy food to cook, and at such a high temperature, the heat inside the tofu dissipates.

Taking advantage of his already overwhelmed taste buds, the heat mercilessly destroyed the last trace of tactile sensation in his mouth besides taste. Only the numbing, spicy, and fragrant flavors brought an unprecedented stimulation to his tongue, as if he were eating a spicy hot pot on a tropical beach. Although it was hot and stimulating, it couldn't stop him from enjoying the delicious food...

P.S.: Here's another chapter. You didn't guess it, did you? The next character is a prisoner. Pay attention, a prisoner.

Chapter 47 Lucifer Cries from the Spicy Food (Please add to your favorites!!!!!!!!!)

A P.S. before we begin: The restaurant's "Hellfire Spicy" level is adjusted based on the individual's constitution and palate...

Just one spoonful was enough to make Fuji's forehead break out in a light sweat, his breathing quicken, and his usually fair face flush red from the spiciness.

"Have some water~ I knew you'd react like this if you ordered the 'Hellfire' spicy, so I specially prepared this drink for you~"

After taking a couple of sips of his drink with one hand holding a spoon and the other, Fuji felt much better, as if he had suddenly stepped from a scorching desert into an oasis lake.

Fuji put down his cup, let out a long sigh, and said, "Shiraha~ As expected, your Hellfire Spicy is much more stimulating... I haven't had such an intensely spicy flavor in a long time~"

Bai Yu sat down next to Cerberus and said with a smile, "Because we have to live up to the name 'Hell,' right? But I wonder if Tezuka will have any strange reaction if he sees you eating this~"
