Chapter 731: Having A Meal Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Unlike Zhao Xue, who was in the 7D cinema, Xiao Ming and Black Panther walked one round and finally proceeded to the buffet restaurant.
It was the first day of business so almost everything was free. Xiao Ming and Black Panther were famished as they had not had any breakfast. They intended to binge at the opening of Cat Wonderland.
Two of them walked into the restaurant in old tattered clothes and were received by a waiter. All the waiters were employed by Uncle Ho and related to the government.
The opening of the Cat Wonderland was due to Zhao Yao"s influence and the support of the government. With the development and greater awareness of the supercats and apostles, the government was trying to increase the tolerance of the public with regards to supercats news.
The Cat Wonderland and the various services provided by the supercats were a litmus test for the country and they provided a good opportunity to release supercat news.
Xiao Ming looked at the waiter and asked shyly, “Is the buffet restaurant open for business?”
The waiter did not treat Xiao Ming differently because of his old clothes and embarra.s.sed expression, instead he smiled courteously and replied, “The restaurant is open, a table for two? Please come in.”
Xiao Ming pulled Black Panther into the restaurant and settled down. After surveying the environment, he said, “Do you know the tactics involved in a buffet meal?”
“Of course.” Black Panther nodded and smiled confidently as he said, “First consume the fruits, then the seafood, starting from raw then moving onto cooked, from cold food to warm. The last bit is dessert.”
Xiao Ming nodded and said seriously, “Today"s battle is very important as it determines how much expenses we can save for this week. The more we save, the faster we can set up our next business. Once we are successful, we can eat whatever we like.”
“All the best!”
“All the best!”
As they were about to attack the food, they saw a few cats binging behind a part.i.tion on the side. There was a lot of fresh fish fillet, pork, beef and various vegetables and fruits on the table.
“Cats are invited too?” Xiao Ming asked in surprise.
The waiter at the side explained, “Those cats opposite are in the cat section, guests are able to have their meals with their chosen cats and enjoy their time together. There are also cat owners who brought their own cats for a meal.”
The white cat that Xiao Ming was gazing at lifted his head and showed him his middle finger.
Xiao Ming said, “That is a supercat, isn"t it? He must be a supercat.” He thought, “In the Cat Wonderland, are supercats customers too?” He suddenly had the gut feeling that underneath the glamorous facade of the Cat Wonderland were dark hidden secrets.
Xiao Ming shook his head and disregarded his gut feeling. It was far more important to grab as many plates of food as possible.
Xiao Ming arrived at the buffet table and nodded at the wide variety of delicacies. He was dumbfounded when he looked at the transparent kitchen and saw Zhao Yao in a chef costume stir frying with a large wok.
Black Panther was astonished and asked, “Mentor, why are you cooking here?”
Zhao Yao turned his head and smiled at both of them. “Don"t you know that I have the most amazing culinary skills in the world? I am happy to inform that you are in luck to be able to taste my delicacies.”
Xiao Ming and Black Panther looked at each other and resisted touching the delicacies. Instead, they attacked the fruits followed by the seafood.
Xiao Ming held a plate and took a few catties of salmon. After a bite, his eyes popped out.
“The fresh taste, the rich fragrant layering and the thick sauce! Even the mustard is extraordinary!” Xiao Ming was pleasantly surprised. “How did they make such delicious salmon?”
Black Panther took a piece of salmon and was moved to tears. “I have never tasted such delicious salmon! Why is this salmon so delicious?”
“We made the right decision coming here!” Xiao Ming"s eyes glowed and they chowed down the salmon happily.
The following seafood and cooked delicacies brought more pleasant surprises for them. Xiao Ming had tried many delicacies before, however, compared to Zhao Yao"s exquisite dishes, the difference in taste was like Heaven and Earth.
Xiao Ming rarely took fried rice, however, he scooped a ladle of fried rice and was astonished. “Even an ordinary egg fried rice can be so tasty! The feeling is like tasting sea cuc.u.mber and abalone, how did they do that?”
“Incredible, these delicacies are too incredible.” Xiao Ming covered his cheeks as he was very touched. “I have eaten so much but I don"t feel satiated at all. Is it because the food is so delicious that my body has forgotten the feeling of satiation and wanted to take as much as possible?”
“Of course not.” Zhao Yao smiled after listening to Xiao Ming"s words and thought, “How can I serve you the real stuff when it is a free buffet?”
Zhao Yao looked at the empty plates in reality and thought, “By using illusion to create delicacies, I saved money and labor cost. There are no food safety issues and the customers do not put on weight. I am such a genius for killing three birds with one stone. Incorrect, the food created in the illusion is based on my personal experience of super tasty delicacies, hence that is killing four birds with one stone.”
Previously Old Man Zhuang engaged top chefs daily to create delicacies for Zhao Yao to taste. After numerous meals, Zhao Yao"s taste buds had attained superior standard hence he had become a master chef in the illusion world.
Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, “It will be a waste of my talent to stay here and cook up a storm.”
Xiao Ming and Black Panther binged for more than two hours but did not feel satiated at all.
Xiao Ming thought, “This is loathsome, why am I not full? I have planned to eat my fill that will last for the next two days. Why am I not satiated?”
Black Panther thought, “… Why am I feeling hungrier and hungrier? The food is too incredible. These are the delicacies of the devil!”
While superpowers and cats were used to entertain the guests and provide a unique enjoyable experience, the underground Cat Wonderland was equally bustling with activities.
The ground underneath the Cat Wonderland was connected to a clean culvert. Many supercats from the Jianghai city strolled along the culvert into Cat Wonderland.
At the exit of the culvert was a s.h.i.+ny golden door illuminated by huge neon lights. The door opened and Matcha, who was adorned with a big hat and a nice bow tie, stood at the entrance and welcomed his friends and guests.
“President Green! You have arrived! Welcome, welcome!”
“CEO Blue, it has been a long time since we met! Come in quickly. I have reserved a good seat for you!”
“Chairman Green… how can I forget you? I had prepared the best delicacies for you. Come in and enjoy.”
