Chapter 422 Kitchen Killer

During the time the two were talking, more and more people who had received the message arrived.

Some people come specifically for the dimensional shops, while the vast majority come for the food stalls.

As a result, the number of people queuing on both sides increased, and they were all whispering and chattering among themselves, creating quite a lively scene.

"A dimensional shop! My goodness, it's from another world! We'll have endless food from now on, right? I'm so happy!"

"Who can argue with that? Ever since I ate the food here, Jinshi has found everything very bland, but the restaurants aren't always open, and I'm really craving it."

"Yes, yes, I'm craving it too! Last time it opened, I couldn't get a table. Now it's finally great, we can eat inside the store!"

"That's right, the first floor of the store is full of all kinds of food. We'll buy a lot to take home and enjoy slowly!"

"Hey, have you heard? They're going to develop our outer perimeter, and I heard it's the royal families of two other empires that are doing the development! I wonder if it's true or not!"

"It goes without saying that it's true. The restaurant is here, and now there's an interdimensional shop added. The people from the other two empires definitely won't sit still, so it's absolutely true!"

"Hahaha, I guessed so. After all, there's only enough room for our own people here. If they want to come, they'll have to develop the surrounding areas!"

Just as everyone was chattering away, an incredibly enticing aroma wafted into their noses, instantly silencing them.

The next second, he took a deep, intense inhale of the aroma, which was incredibly rich and mellow.

As if possessed by some magical power, it burrowed straight into their bodies, making their entire bodies seem to clamor for food, and their stomachs were even more restless.

The aroma was so sudden and overpowering that people queuing outside, whether in shops or restaurants, were completely captivated.

They all craned their necks to look into the restaurant, after all, the enticing aroma was coming from there.

However, because there were so many people in line, no matter how much you looked around, all you could see were heads. You could only whisper to the people in front of and behind you.

"Just smelling this makes me know it must be delicious. I wonder what Mr. Gu is making. My stomach is rumbling!"

"This tastes completely different from fried chicken. It's much more fragrant and intense! Oh my god, it smells so good! Has it not started selling yet? I can't wait!"

"Yes, yes, the aroma is so enticing! It smells even better than the food at the restaurants we've been to before."

Moreover, I've heard that Boss Gu and his team are top-notch cooks. I didn't have that idea before, since I already found the food there to be incredibly delicious.

But just smelling that aroma is irresistible! Oh dear, when will they start selling this? I wonder if there will be any left by the time it gets to me!

"Don't rush, it's no use rushing. You still have to wait in line obediently. If you dare to cut in line, be careful you don't get arrested and locked up. This restaurant is backed by royalty!"

"Don't worry, Lele just said that Boss Gu will be open for several days in a row. Even if you don't get a table today, just come earlier tomorrow!"

The crowd in line kept talking, but fortunately, Hong Shisan's restaurant was located on the edge of the city, on a vast plain, so the crowd didn't get too congested.

Meanwhile, Gu Xinyan, who was in the kitchen, had just poured the boiled fish into a large pot. Thinking that it was already noon, she decided to make a fast food meal.

Zhang Junyang and Li Chendong were assigned to work as "food servers" at the front window.

Lu Yunting was in charge of steaming rice and making soup. Of course, the soup was a simple seaweed and egg drop soup, which was relatively easy to make.

Gu Xinyan and the other two, who were quite skilled cooks, were in charge of preparing today's dishes.

Each person is responsible for two dishes. After all, if there are too many kinds of dishes, even three people won't be able to handle it. Two dishes are just right. Two dishes per person, that's six dishes in total.

This is a large pot of food, six dishes in total, so that domineering and tempting aroma just now was the taste of boiled fish.

After all, this dish has a strong flavor, so the aroma is naturally very rich.

As time went by, pot after pot of dishes were placed on the table. The aroma of the dishes combined was so enticing that it almost made the people queuing outside feel dizzy.

If Lele hadn't been watching over them at the door, they would have rushed inside.

"Lele! I see they're all ready, right? When can we buy them? My stomach's growling, can't you hear it?"

The woman in first place stared longingly at the kitchen window. Although she didn't know what those pots and pans were, she knew from the aroma that they must be incredibly delicious.

Because she arrived early, she secured the first spot, and the fragrance was much stronger than what the people behind her could smell.

Fried chicken in restaurants used to be delicious, but compared to today's, it's a completely different experience.

The aroma today made her hunger even more pronounced; she wished she could plunge headfirst into those basins, and her stomach kept rumbling.

But Lele was still watching from the doorway and didn't let them in, so they could only look at the food in the window from a distance.

Lele: [...]

The cooing sounds were constant; how could it not hear them?

It's not that it won't let them in; after all, Sister Gu and the others aren't ready yet.

Even if they were allowed in, it would still stand guard at the window, so close that it was afraid the people would pounce on it.

That's why, just in case, everyone was kept at the main entrance.

As it turned out, its decision was correct. Just look at the wolf-like eyes of these people; if they had really been let in, it was afraid it wouldn't have been able to stop them.

After all, they were a group of people who had never experienced hardship. Thinking of this, Lele couldn't help but wipe away a tear of bitterness for herself.

It's unbelievable that a gourmet system is bound to a kitchen killer; I doubt anyone would believe it if I told them.

Fortunately, I can exploit the system's vulnerabilities; otherwise, upgrading would be a pipe dream, since my host not only blows up the pot but also the kitchen.

Honestly! It's been so badly fried that it's developed a phobia of it. Now, when it comes to cooking, it's best to just skip it. It doesn't want to witness another fancy kitchen explosion.
