People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

With a slight smile, Bai Yu looked at the Queen of Hell, who was now blushing and withdrawn, and said softly, "Try it~ Cerberus specially saved it for you~"

Lucifer looked at the half-eaten jerky in front of Cerberus without saying a word, silently sat down and tasted a piece. And so, the mighty Queen of Hell fell in love with another delicacy.

Bai Yu found it amusing to watch the two big shots from Hell eating a simple piece of dried meat as if it were some kind of delicacy; Lucifer eating was quite adorable.

Seemingly sensing Bai Yu's gaze, Lucifer softened his tone slightly, his face flushed, and said, "What are you looking at? Is it that interesting?"

Personally, I don't think watching beautiful women eat can be unpleasant to watch.

"You... Hmph~"

Lucifer continued eating as he talked. Just as he was about to ask Bai Yu if she wanted some, the door was pushed open, and a girl said in surprise, "Eh? So this is a restaurant? It looks amazing!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "That's right. Is there anything you'd like to eat? You should be the last customer today~"

The girl nodded and then smiled, saying, "As for what to eat...where's the menu, boss?"

"There's no menu, because I can make whatever you want to eat here~"

"Huh?! That's amazing! In that case... I'll have some fried dumplings, a glass of juice, and a salad!"

"Hmm~ Not a bad combination. What kind of fruit would you like for the juice?"

"Strawberry...orange? Uh..."

"How about mixed fruit juice? It's healthier that way!"

"it is good!"

What kind of filling do you want for the pan-fried dumplings?

"Hmm... I'd like both pork and beef... Can we mix them?"

"Of course~ Please wait a moment~"

The girl, sitting in a chair, watched Lucifer and Cerberus eating dried meat, her eyes lighting up as she whispered, "What a cool girl..."

Lucifer's lips curled up when she heard this. Finally, someone praised her for being handsome. It was so rare, much better than Hell! Nobody listened to her in Hell, let alone praised her. Bai Yu would also praise her, but her words were too girlish. Sure enough, being handsome was more suitable for a queen.

Thinking of this, Lucifer couldn't help but feel a little smug, completely forgetting his earlier embarrassing moment. Bai Yu said softly, "Lucifer~ I forgot to mention~ a kitten suits you very well too~"

Lucifer instantly lost his composure, his face turning bright red. He clenched his little fists so tightly he was almost crying with embarrassment. This wasn't fair! The emotions he'd just built up...

Chapter Thirty-Six: Nanami Nami (Please add to your favorites!!!!!!!!!)

Lucifer was eating jerky without any fanfare, while Cerberus turned to look at the girl sitting there humming an unknown song, feeling that this girl was quite interesting.

"Hmm? Hello~"

"Huh? Oh! Hello, hello!"

Lucifer was taken aback when he saw Cerberus suddenly start chatting. It was truly a case of the outgoing and friendly meeting a clueless and single-minded person.

Cerberus scratched his head and said, "Um... um... it's nothing~"

The girl was taken aback, then scratched her head in confusion. Suddenly she froze because she smelled a very fragrant scent, which instantly activated her senses!

The soft sizzling sound of dumplings being fried filled the air, and the girl, who hadn't been very hungry before, suddenly felt a surge of hunger! This was unbearable!

Lucifer and Cerberus were astonished to discover something: they could actually withstand the impact of such a smell! This was truly amazing!

"Your pan-fried dumplings~ This is a salad, a mixed vegetable salad~ Just mix the juice yourself~ I've prepared three servings of dressing, choose whichever you like~"

The girl's appetite was immediately whetted when she saw the perfectly fried dumplings and a bowl of brightly colored vegetable salad in front of her.

Bai Yu returned to his seat and before he could even pick up his book, he saw Lucifer looking at him with a puzzled expression. Bai Yu asked, "What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

Lucifer shook his head, looked at Bai Yu, and said, "I don't know why, but I seem to be getting more and more immune to the smell of your cooking~"

Bai Yu smiled and went back to the kitchen to get a box of pudding. He placed it in front of Lucifer and Cerberus, indicating that they should try it. The two were taken aback, but they did as he said.

"Hmm... This definitely wasn't done by you!"

"Hmm! It definitely wasn't made by Master! It doesn't taste good at all!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Of course I didn't make it~ It was a flower lady from the next street who gave it to me~ I think it looks pretty good~"

Both of them shook their heads to indicate that they could not accept it. The girl on the other side also hurriedly picked up her chopsticks and picked up a fried dumpling on the left. She first examined it carefully and found that the bottom of the dumpling was just right. When she picked up the dumpling with her chopsticks, the soft dough fully demonstrated how full the filling was and how elastic the dough was.

"Ah...whoosh~ It's hot~"

"Mmm~ So delicious!"

With each bite, the charred bottom produced a soft, crisp sound that only the girl could hear. The perfect combination of meat and vegetables filled each other as they entered her mouth, producing a unique, crisp sound.

The aroma of meat, the meat juices clinging to the vegetables, and the unique sweetness of the vegetables—it was satisfying enough even without any sauce. The girl covered her mouth with one hand and held a dumpling in the other, looking at it as if it were a little white rabbit that might run away at any moment. She chewed the half-eaten dumpling in her mouth faster and faster.

But the girl, who was trying to swallow the dumplings quickly so she could continue eating, suddenly discovered that the dumplings became more and more fragrant the more she chewed them, and the aroma of the dough burst forth.

After the dumpling was bitten open, a wisp of steam rose up. Bai Yu quietly watched as Cerberus and Lucifer, who were sitting there, suddenly realized something shameful: they were hungry!

Lucifer looked at Bai Yu with displeasure and said, "Bai Yu! Did you do this on purpose? Why is it that after eating the pudding, the aroma that I had some resistance to suddenly became ineffective?"

Bai Yu waved his hand and said, "The problem is probably that you've been eating it for so long that you've developed a taste memory, which has created a sense of habit. But it will be fine as long as you stop eating it for a while. It's like if you eat the same dish every day, you can still associate it with its taste even if you don't eat it, so you won't have much of a reaction."

Cerberus suddenly realized and said, "So, when you haven't eaten that dish for a long time, it tastes just as delicious as the first time you ate it! Right, Master!"

Bai Yu smiled and nodded, then said with a smile, "Don't waste the pudding! This was made by the owner himself!"

Lucifer and Cerberus initially thought the pudding looked alright, but now that their taste buds had been reawakened, they really didn't want to eat it.

Cerberus remained true to her canine loyalty, but when she picked up the spoon and reached for the pudding, she suddenly regretted it. After a moment's hesitation, she immediately put the spoon down and said, "Master, master, master! This is too filling. I'll wait for breakfast!"

Lucifer nodded in agreement, witnessing Cerberus's intelligence for the first time; he was indeed unexpectedly wise.

Bai Yu rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think I don't know what you two are up to? Alright~ Just wait~ It'll be over an hour~"

As Bai Yu spoke, he took the pudding and began eating it while reading a book. Cerberus and Lucifer were both stunned. Lucifer, blushing, exclaimed, "What are you doing?!"

Bai Yu said casually, "What else can we do? Of course, we have to finish the pudding you two didn't finish! We can't waste it! This was made by the florist for her child—a very special little gift!"

Lucifer blushed and said, "But...but...but we've already eaten from this!"

"Huh? What's the problem?"

"no!"

Lucifer fell silent after speaking, but Cerberus's mind was blank. She didn't have any thoughts of indirect kissing; her mind was filled with only one sentence: "My master ate my leftovers! Should I be happy or guilty? So conflicted, so conflicted!"

Bai Yu was eating pudding, while the girl was enjoying fried dumplings on the side. Cerberus was still in a daze, and Lucifer was looking at Bai Yu, seemingly lost in thought.

"Hmm! Manager!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"This spicy sauce is delicious! It's even a little sweet! What's in this mixed fruit juice? Why does it taste so good?"

Seeing the girl's expression, Bai Yu smiled and said, "This... there are probably more than twenty kinds of fruit. The taste should be pretty good. I was originally planning to add something strange, but you probably wouldn't like it, so I didn't."

The girl was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Something strange?"

Bai Yu nodded and said seriously, "For example, cacti, aloe vera, and flower petals, etc."

The girl's eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "Eh?! There's such a way to eat it? It sounds really good~ Could you please make me a cup next time?!"

"Of course~"

After popping the last dumpling into her mouth, the girl leaned back in her chair contentedly and said in a slightly languid tone, "Manager, you're really amazing! You can make even a simple dumpling taste so good!"

Bai Yu smiled and said gently, "You're probably just hungry~ It's just some ordinary fried dumplings~"

The girl shook her head and said, "Absolutely not! I dare say these are the best pan-fried dumplings I've ever eaten! Without a doubt! So, manager, I'll definitely come back!"

Bai Yu smiled and nodded, then said softly, "Welcome~ But my restaurant is a night restaurant, meaning it's open at night~"

The girl paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! I understand! I'll bring my friends along!"

"Oh? That's really good news~"

"Hmm! How much is the total, manager?"

"Seven hundred in total~"

"Huh?! It's so cheap?!"

"It's okay~"

"Boss, here's the money! I'll be back! By the way! My name is Nanami Fukami! I go to Katagiri High School~" (You know how schools are in crossover anime worlds~ They're definitely different from the original work~ It would be too boring if they all said Shuchiin~)

I'm desperately seeking all copies of my new book!!!

Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Succession of Guests (Please add to your favorites!!!!!!!!!)

After Nanami Minami left, Shiraha looked at the money on the table and said with a smile, "What a lively child! It's great that she's so energetic!"

Lucifer leaned back in his chair, a hint of amusement in his voice, and said, "You really do rely entirely on repeat customers, huh?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Huh? It seems that's really true~ I usually rely entirely on repeat customers~ But to be fair, everyone who comes here becomes a repeat customer~"

Lucifer was taken aback, smiled but didn't say anything. Bai Yu stretched and said, "Hmm~ Looks like we can close up shop today... Hey? Why were there so many customers during the day?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man carrying a travel bag and wearing a black short-sleeved shirt walked in. Although you could tell he was a middle-aged man, his demeanor was definitely not comparable to those pretentious young people or mediocre people.

"Wow, there's actually a restaurant here! That's rare!"

Bai Yu stood up and said softly, "Welcome~ Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

The middle-aged man looked around and then said in confusion, "Wow~ this is a self-service restaurant? What do they have at this time?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu knew that the person who came was someone with some fame and skill in the culinary world, because the last person to say that was Senzaemon Nakiri.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "At this time, we can do anything, but I probably wouldn't want to eat anything too greasy for breakfast, right?"

The man nodded, thought for a moment, and then said softly, "In that case, give me a bowl of ramen, with lots of toppings. I've been on a plane all night and I'm exhausted."

Bai Yu nodded and continued, "Is there anything else you need?"

The man thought for a moment and said, "Tempura and shrimp and perilla spring rolls, please."

"Okay~"

"Oh, and I'd like a glass of water too."

Bai Yu nodded and returned to the kitchen. The man skillfully found a seat, looked at the furnishings, and said with a smile, "Hmm~ This is a rare find among restaurants—clean and tidy."

Lucifer and Cerberus glanced at the man but said nothing. Lucifer skillfully opened her phone and started chatting. She had only realized how interesting this thing was after talking to these guys last night.

Cerberus naturally joined in to watch Lucifer chat; her phone was upstairs and she was too lazy to go get it, so she just watched Lucifer chat instead.

Lucifer didn't try to hide it from Cerberus, because she could easily find out the chat history by checking her own phone when she got back; there was no need to keep it a secret.

Electronic Empress: "Don't you guys ever get any sleep?! What time is it?!"

The second young lady of the Suzuki family: "Oh dear~ It's no big deal~ Your school is really easy~ We're all high school students, why do we have to go to school now!"

Electronic Empress: "What does that have to do with me! Besides, that idiot Kirari hasn't gotten up yet either?!"

To address the student council president: "Did you see the nickname? I don't mind not going to school~ And don't compare me to that idiot Sonoko~"

Hell CEO: "You guys are really energetic... By the way, why don't you come here in person?"

The world's gourmet: "This matter... they're all so busy... there are very few people like me who are relatively free... speaking of which... why hasn't Cerberus said anything?"

Hell CEO: "She's next to me. Her phone is in the room. By the way, do you guys know where Katagiri High School is?"

The question caused a moment of silence in the group. After a long while, Kirari Momobami looked at her phone, sighed, and typed, "Of course I know. Everyone in the group who's currently in school should know, right? Katagiri High School is just an ordinary high school, but the school spirit is quite good."

Sonoko Suzuki's lips twitched, and she typed a single word, saying, "Nonsense~ Which school doesn't have a better school spirit than your private Hyakkaou Academy? Katagiri High School is indeed above average, not the best but not bad either~ Mainly, their school uniforms are so pretty~ Much prettier than Kirari's school uniforms~"

Kirari Momogami didn't refute this, because it was something the group had discussed collectively; everyone thought their school uniforms looked like those of hotel staff...

Before Lucifer could speak, Garuda sent a message saying, "Katagiri High School... I know someone there~ The students at Katagiri High School are all pretty good~"

Lucifer nodded, thought for a moment, and then replied with a message: "Really? That sounds like a nice place."

Lucifer had just sent the message when he saw Bai Yu walk out carrying a steaming bowl of ramen, with a plate in his other hand on top of a golden-brown, crispy tempura and two spring rolls that looked incredibly appetizing.

The man's eyes lit up as he looked at the steaming ramen noodles in front of him, emitting the unique aroma of ramen. He smiled and said, "I really didn't expect this ramen to be so good! Boss, you've really surprised me."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "It's alright~ Please enjoy your meal. Just let me know if you need anything. There are various seasonings nearby; you can add them according to your preference~"

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he left. The man glanced at the sea salt, pepper, grapefruit chili, vinegar and other seasonings next to him, which were all placed in small bottles and looked very nice.
