People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Alice sighed, filled with despair. After another sigh, she whispered, "Mom, is there anything else...?"

"Oh, so you mean your dad doesn't approve of you dating."

"Huh?!" xn

Alice panicked and ran to Leonora's side, about to speak, when Leonora said impatiently, "Can't you just let me finish?"

"Oh...Mom! You have to help me!"

“I helped you, otherwise I wouldn’t be here to play, but to take you back. After my reasoning, your father agreed, and my grandfather and I even gave him a lecture. He’s been very well-behaved ever since.”

Alice paused for a moment, then cheered and said, "Yay! Mom! That's great! I love you so much! Mua!"

"Hey! Alice! Can't you wipe your mouth?"

"Hehe, I'm just so happy! Mom! Thank you so much! I really...I..."

Leonora waved her hand and said, "I know you well enough. Once you've made up your mind, nothing can change it. Besides, Managi, Erina, and Grandpa aren't stupid. I've thought it through carefully, and it turns out I was right. Your father is just too concerned about you."

"Mmmmmmm!"

“Your father is thinking from the perspective of someone who is still a child, while I am thinking from a woman’s point of view. I believe that your decision, Alice, was not made on a whim, so I will stand firmly by your side.”

"Mother...."

"but...."

Erina covered her face and said, "Aunt Leonora, could you please finish what you were saying...? It's scary..."

"Hmm..."

Leonora waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing serious!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then they heard Leonora casually say, "So, your dad and I are going back to Tokyo for the New Year this year, so Shiraha, Alice, Managi, and Erina, get ready."

"Huh?!" xn

This is the only parent who's showing any signs of being upset so far, why the sudden appearance? Nakiri Managi swallowed hard and said, "What's the big brother doing back here...?"

"This problem... is probably because someone took away the little bok choy they've raised for so many years, so they're upset and want to come and see."

"Oh no... Uncle Zongwei is such a stubborn and childish person..."

Alice paused for a moment and said, "Huh? Does Daddy have childish moments?"

"Otherwise, why do you think he wouldn't let you date before? He's a doting father!"

Alice tilted her head but didn't say anything. Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Meeting the parents... I have a feeling Leonora, you would be a very interesting candidate..."

Leonora nodded and said, "Yes, I was just watching, but Zong Wei didn't dare to say anything, otherwise, the old man would beat him to death."

Nakiri Managi nodded and said, "Well, Father might really scold Big Brother to death, so, Shiraha, don't be nervous, Erina and I are here too!"

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not too nervous, after all, I feel that my uncle is a fairly easy-going person..."

Leonora was taken aback for a moment and said, "Huh? You're trying to steal his little cabbage that he's raised for over ten years, and you think he's easy to talk to?"

"That's why they seem easy to talk to."

Leonora sighed and said, "You really are experienced. Yes, he is indeed quite easy to talk to, and even easier if he approves of you."

Alice breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That scared me to death... Hey? Mom! Let's call Grandpa! He probably hasn't rested yet! He'll have to work again later, because of WGO, Grandpa is very busy during the summer vacation."

"In that case, why not call again around 9 p.m.? The old man usually gets up around 5 a.m., and considering the time difference, he'll be just waking up then. He'll definitely be happy all day if he hears the news."

"Oh! Right, right! I forgot about the time difference... Then I'll call Grandpa around ten o'clock!"

"Yeah!" x3

Kobayashi Rindou narrowed his eyes and said softly, "Almost ten o'clock...almost ten o'clock..."

"Gentian, what are you saying? Fill it up! Don't let it drop!"

"Oh!"

Chapter 168 Interesting Alcoholic Beverages, Justice in Partying (Please Subscribe~)

After Alice's matter was resolved, Lucifer and the others naturally started drinking, as they were very curious about the wines from other countries.

Justice immediately opened an oak barrel and then said with some surprise, "Wow! It smells so good! What kind of wine is it?"

"Kashasa!" x3

Bai Yu, Klara, and Leonora blurted it out, surprising everyone. Leonora laughed and said, "Klara, you're amazing! You could even smell it!"

Klaqi laughed and said, "My mother is a sommelier, so of course I know about it. Besides, Kassasa has a history of hundreds of years. It's made from sugarcane, and it's very fragrant and sweet. It's an absolutely pure, natural, and pollution-free green drink! It has a very distinctive sugarcane aroma, which is quite obvious."

Kasugano Sora scratched her head and said, "How come I can't smell it? Yuno, can you smell it?"

"No, I just think it tastes a little sweet."

Everyone nodded, and Night Forest Red also nodded and said, "I've eaten sugarcane before, you know, the kind you chew and then spit out, the kind that looks like bamboo, right?"

"Yes!"

The group didn't stand on ceremony and simply scooped up a cup of the clear liquor that looked like ordinary white wine. After hesitating for a moment, Lucifer and the others took a sip and their eyes lit up the next moment.

Wow! This tastes so good!

Alice and the others were also pleasantly surprised. They had thought it would be very spicy, but it turned out to be so sweet with a fruity aroma. The girls immediately started drinking it in big gulps, as if they were drinking a glass of sugarcane juice.

"Wow! This is delicious! I want another one!"

Just as Erina was about to have another drink, Shiraha stopped her. Erina smiled and said, "Shiraha, it's okay. This wine is sweet and doesn't taste like alcohol at all. You won't get drunk."

Bai Yu sighed and said, "This is distilled liquor, it just tastes sweet. This liquor has a strong aftereffect, so if you want to drink it, just drink these two."

What are these two buckets?

"This is a local specialty, and the other one was bought by Leonora. Strictly speaking, the wine that Leonora bought isn't even considered wine."

"Huh?" xn

Zhengyi smiled and said, "This is it? I'm interested in this! But why is there so little of it?"

Leonora said with a smile, "This is kava, a non-alcoholic beverage, but a liquor made from a special pepper called the 'drunken pepper.' After drinking it, your tongue will feel numb and a little bitter, but afterwards you will feel calm and relaxed all over. It is considered the national drink in the area."

"Oh!" xn

Lucifer laughed and said, "This sounds amazing, Yuuko. It's non-alcoholic, so you can drink it."

"Hmm! Eh? Why is it light brown?"

"That's normal. After all, it's not alcohol, but a special beverage. And now that it's famous all over the world, the traditional methods are no longer used. The new methods have resulted in many of these drinks not being of the highest quality. A light brown color is already quite good."

Chifuyu Orimura raised an eyebrow and asked, "How is it done the ancient way?"

"Chew!" x3

Everyone's lips twitched as they looked down at the wine in their glasses. Bai Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if there were ancient methods, people wouldn't do it that way now. Otherwise, if they were chewing hundreds of pounds of pepper every day, they would have died long ago. Nowadays, it's mostly machine-ground or hand-ground. This color should be from hand-ground pepper."

Lucifer and the others finally relaxed and took a sip. Then they shuddered. Akane Momo stuck out her tongue and said, "My tongue feels numb... It tastes so strange, but it smells kind of nice... How weird..."

Leonora smiled and said, "I really like to have a drink when I'm working overtime. It's refreshing and helps me stay alert. You'll see in a bit."

Everyone silently sipped their kava. After a while, Shion Kanade said with some surprise, "Eh? I really feel relaxed and clear-headed!"

"Wow! That's amazing!"

"It's a magical product, but you can't drink too much of it, otherwise your skin might peel or you might have an allergic reaction. Just one cup is enough, that's why I didn't buy that many, understand?"

"Oh!" xn

Erina wiped her mouth, pointed to another oak barrel, and said, "What kind of wine is this? It looks really good."

Yumiko chuckled and said, "You girls, be careful you don't turn into little drunkards."

Erina and the others chuckled and scratched their heads, because minors in Japan are not allowed to drink alcohol. Even the students of Totsuki Academy can only drink homemade rice wine and fruit wine secretly, which have very little alcohol content. Now that they have tried it, they are really interested in these drinks.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Jinx, you should really like this."

Jinx paused for a moment while she was eating and drinking, pointed at the oak barrel, looked at Bai Yu, and Bai Yu nodded. After Jinx opened it, everyone's eyes lit up when they smelled a sweet fragrance.

Jinx scooped up a glass and exclaimed in surprise, "Red?!"

"Yes, give it a try."

Lucifer and the others all stared at Jinx, who took a sip and then exclaimed with delight, "Wow! Chef! This is delicious! What is this? It's sweet and sour! I love it!"

Everyone tasted it and were surprised. Bai Yu said gently, "This is cactus sweet wine, made from the fruit of local cacti. It has a low alcohol content, is sweet and sour, and can be drunk by children of similar age."

"Hmph! I'm not a child! You can only drink one cup of this?"

"No, there are no restrictions. Also... Justice, and some honey beer and stuff like that, didn't you bring them out?"

"Those black buckets?"

"Yeah, haven't you always been interested in things like honey beer?"

"Of course! Why didn't you say so sooner! Hey girls! We're having a party today!"

"Oh!" xn

Chapter 169 The Actresses Who Make Excuses, Kobayashi Rindou's Gathering (Please Subscribe~)

Just as Justice said, whether it's honey beer or any other beer, they all taste sweet, which Jinx and the others like very much. But alcohol is alcohol after all, and it didn't take long for the effects to kick in, and even Yakumo Ran drank a little too much.

As for Cheng, she would curl up on a chair and fall asleep early. She would eat her fill, then sleep, then play, then eat when she was hungry, and then sleep again. This was Cheng's life.

Leonora burped and then quickly covered her mouth, her face slightly flushed, probably because she had drunk quite a bit and was a little tipsy. Leonora shook her head and said, "I...I'm going to the bathroom...Alice, Erina, Hisako...you can't drink anymore. If you want to drink, make cactus liqueur and add lots of fruit juice."

"Oh!" xn

Kobayashi Rindou glanced at it, then downed his lemon beer in one gulp, smacked his lips, and said, "Phew! That was refreshing! I drank too much water! Wait for me to go to the bathroom! Anyone else going to the bathroom?"

"You're so useless!"

"Huh?! Why isn't anyone mentioning Leonora?!"

"Sizzle..."

"Are you kidding? Those are parents! They don't have that kind of courage, no matter how much they drink!" Kobayashi Rindou narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Ah! That's too much! Yuuka! Come with me to the toilet!"

As Yuuka Kazami was sipping her lemon beer, Rindou Kobayashi wrapped his arm around her waist. Yukari Yakumo laughed and said, "Rindou, you really have guts. How could Yuuka possibly..."

Everyone was waiting to see Kobayashi Rindou get his cheek pinched, but they were all stunned when a very clear and cold voice rang out...

"it is good..."

"Okay?!"

Rindou Kobayashi snorted and said, "See! Yuuka is still the most reliable! Yuuka! Let's go, let's go! Let's ignore these disloyal people!"

Kobayashi Rindou then pulled Kazami Yuuka away, still complaining. Zhengyi and the others didn't take it seriously, since Kobayashi Rindou was usually like a child, and besides, he was a bit drunk. It was already a good thing he didn't drag Shiraha away with him.

Yuko Ichihara and Lucifer felt a little strange because Rindou Kobayashi had said he needed to talk to them. Yuko Ichihara suddenly remembered that Rindou Kobayashi had also been hanging out with Lucifer before. Could it be that he wasn't just looking for her?

Imagine how cooperative Kazami Yuuka was, and the two of them understood what was going on. Kobayashi Rindou was reminding them. Ichihara Yuuko immediately took out her phone, glanced at it, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no! Oh no! I have to go back first."

Esdeath asked in confusion, "You need to use the restroom too?"

"No, it's been so long since I ate, I haven't taken my folic acid and vitamins yet! Wait for me to come back!"

Yuuko Ichihara disappeared as she spoke, and Hancock asked in confusion, "What is folic acid? Is it some kind of miracle drug?"

Tianyu Zhanzhan said softly, "Generally speaking, people who are trying to conceive will start taking folic acid, so... understand?"

"Oh!" xn

No one seemed suspicious and they were drinking when Lucifer suddenly exclaimed in surprise. Everyone turned around and saw Lucifer holding an open can of cola, but his face and hair were also covered in cola...

"My goodness... Lucy, what's wrong with you?" Asagi exclaimed in surprise.

"Who shook the Coke?!"

No one spoke, because Lucifer himself was shaking it with magic. Lucifer sighed and said, "You guys drink first, I'm going to wash my hair... otherwise I feel like my hair is all sticky! Justice! Leave me some!"

"Hey! Lucy! Why don't you just drink a Coke?"

"I'm doing this for bartending! I'm not talking to you anymore! Leave me some! Bai Yu, if you're not leaving me any justice, you'd better catch her for me!"
