They quickly left the scene, notifying the cleanup crew to deal with the bodies. Once everything was finished, Senba Academy might be opened as a battlefield relic.
But for now, it was best to let the Honkai energy dissipate.
The motorcycle sped through the sky, and before long, they returned to St. Freya Academy.
After submitting the mission report, Zhao Bai, without explaining to Theresa, hurriedly pulled Kiana into the restaurant. The "Closed" sign was taken down. After being closed for an entire morning, the girls from St. Freya were probably going to cry.
The immediate priority was to prepare the reward he had promised Kiana.
Leaving Kiana outside, looking eager and hungry, Zhao Bai locked the kitchen door and began preparing the Pork Bone Ramen.
In the refrigerator were some surprisingly large pork bones, with a small portion cut off. They didn't look like pork, but rather like a leg bone from some disgraced Emperor-class Honkai Beast.
Making the pork bone broth required a lot of water, but these weren't ordinary pork bones, and the flame wasn't ordinary either. Naturally, the water shouldn't be ordinary. A deep blue cannon spat out solid ice, an extremely deep blue, reaching absolute zero in the physical sense.
Absolute zero solid ice, the leg bone of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast, Heavenly Fire Judgment.
The essential ingredients for simmering a pot of rich broth, simple as that.
Cabbage, which originally needed to be finely shredded, but due to the crude conditions, he could only use cabbage's close relative – napa cabbage.
It was strange, why did St. Freya grow so much napa cabbage?
He shredded the napa cabbage, then blanched the oil noodles in hot water and removed them. While Zhao Bai was simmering the broth, he started a fire and heated a wok, stir-frying minced garlic until fragrant. Then, he stir-fried the prepared miso and shiitake mushrooms until fragrant, filling the kitchen with a rich aroma.
Just then, the broth was ready.
The broth was a perfect milky white, without a hint of smokiness, with a layer of pale yellow oil floating on top. It was enough to make one's mouth water at first glance.
Adding the noodles, mirin, and some simple toppings, the ramen was complete.
Deep red pan-fried shrimp, large crab claws, and sweet corn kernels.
Everything was just right.
He had simmered a large pot of broth, and it would be too much of a waste to only make one bowl of ramen and put it in the cold storage. The freshly cooked broth tasted completely different from the frozen one. Zhao Bai made himself a large bowl as well, with the same seafood, crab claws, and corn kernels. Bean sprouts floated in the soup, and steam rose from the bowl.
Judging by its appearance, if it were put on the shelves for sale, it would go for at least 160 yuan.
Zhao Bai felt a pang of regret giving it to Kiana for free.
Chapter 11: The Impact of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast
The pork bones used for simmering the broth were reusable. After simmering the soup, Zhao Bai carefully stored them, not daring to waste a single bit. Kiana was very satisfied with this free dinner. Without bothering about the heat, she grabbed her chopsticks and dug in. The grayish-brown noodles were perfectly chewy, and the rich white broth was incredibly delicious.
"Boss Zhao, your cooking is truly amazing. You really are a hereditary master chef."
Zhao Bai responded humbly, "It's all thanks to the ingredients and the kitchenware. I'm nothing special. I just present the original flavors of the food to the diners. It's quite embarrassing."
After seeing Kiana off, Zhao Bai glanced back at the still steaming soup in the kitchen. Feeling a bit regretful, he took a wooden sign with him as he left and excitedly took out a brush.
"Today's Special: Pork Bone Seafood Ramen."
After writing it, he still felt unsatisfied. Zhao Bai pondered for a moment, then picked up the brush again and added "Owner's Tearful 10% Discount" below it. At the very bottom, he drew a crying loli with white hair, wearing a black headscarf. At first glance, she bore some resemblance to Director Theresa.
The students of St. Freya all knew that the spokesperson for the Zhao Family Restaurant was the Director.
With the sign hung up, the customer flow gradually increased, and Zhao Bai put away his joking demeanor, becoming increasingly busy. For him, carrying out missions was just a small interlude in life; the most important thing was still managing the restaurant.
