Delicious Superheroes
Chapter 5
Before Gu Shanna came to this world, "Dr. Strange Fruit" had just reached 40,000 words. Based on her usual behavior, she would have given up at this point.
At that time, she had not yet been crowned emperor, so people called it the "40,000-word curse of the King of Deceit."
No one had expected that there would be an update to the article, and an especially long 3,000 words at that!
Therefore, when they saw the real-time update notification on the front page, the members of the Green Haw Doujinshi website exploded.
"Holy shit!
Is the King of Deceit crazy?!
She actually broke her own 40,000-word curse! "
"Eh?
Didn't they say that the reason the King of Deceit only wrote 40,000 words per article was because of a family curse? If it exceeded 40,000 words, the man would not have a little haw, and the woman would have two little haws. "
"Hahahahaha, what the hell are you talking about?
Even if you want to spread rumors, you should pay attention to the basics! "
"LSS is right. I heard this from the neighbor's fruit stall owner's second sister-in-law's cousin's fourth granduncle. It's definitely true!"
Gu Shanna: "…"
She endured and endured, but when she couldn't take it anymore, she passionately replied: "There's no such thing as a 40,000-word curse. My family also doesn't have a curse that makes a girl grow two little haws!"
The onlookers erupted again.
"The King of Deceit has appeared!
Front row group photo! "
"My King, can you not deceit this time?"
"FCBKSL fills the old pit, a generation of King of Deceit has fallen, Green Haw Doujinshi played a big game of chess!"
"Shocking!
Full Of Truffles is about to make a comeback, Gorgeous Transformation Into Full Of Truffles! "
…
Gu Shanna read all the way, angry and amused at the same time. These netizens were really sharp-tongued and full of tricks when they were being mean.
Of course, she wasn't someone to be trifled with. If one came at her, she would fight back. If two came at her, she would fight back.
By the time she was done with the netizens and teasing her fans, there was an app called "Distribution of Poverty Alleviation Fresh Food" on her phone.
… The system really never gave him any surprises.
He clicked on it and found that the app was quite intelligent. After it was bound to the restaurant, it could synchronize the customer flow and other data in the restaurant in real time. After selecting the ingredients on the first day, it could calculate the best delivery plan for the next day.
Gu Shanna instantly felt that it wasn't a loss to give up the glory of tricking the emperor for this awesome feature!
She opened Google and did a search. There was indeed a company in the suburbs called [Distribution of Poverty Alleviation Fresh Food]. The main store was in New York, and this was just a branch.
So, there were other victims in this world?
The system remained silent. Gu Shanna took it as a silent agreement.
Gu Shanna said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm sorry for not recognizing you. So you're an organized mafia?"
The System remained silent.

The renovation was progressing at lightning speed. The original foundation of the restaurant was still there, and there were not many places that needed to be changed.
After the workers tested the smoke exhaust, ventilation, and drainage equipment in the kitchen, they said that the design was very good, the workmanship was good, and there was no need to redo it.
Thus, Gu Shanna saved some money and could buy a better oven for Gebbi.
The words "better" really revealed how poor she was now. In the past, Gu Shanna had always "only bought expensive things, not the right ones". Unfortunately, the reality was so cruel.
Just as she ordered the oven, the System gave her a new task.
[Restaurant Task 2: Finish the renovation in three weeks, create a complete menu, complete the food tasting with colleagues, and choose a date to open the restaurant within this time.]
[Filling in the Holes Task 2: Update at least 9,000 words in two weeks.]
Gu Shanna had a headache when she heard the word "update". Last time, she wrote 3,000 words until she was foaming at the mouth. This time, it was 9,000 words. She was going to lose all her hair.
She was very sad in her heart, but she pretended to be calm. She turned to ask Gebbi, "How's the menu?"
Gebbi pretentiously curtsied and handed over a stack of paper, "According to your instructions, we'll sell Chinese breakfast on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Other times, we'll sell western food. They're all my specialties."
Gu Shanna noticed that two pages were empty. Gebbi said, "These two pages are the menu for Tuesdays and Thursdays. I don't know much about Chinese food, so I'll leave it for you to fill in."
"Okay."
Gu Shanna picked up the pen and wrote, "Wontons in chili oil, chicken soup, lamb shumai, small pot of rice noodles, onion oil noodles, beef noodles in tomato sauce, fish porridge, pan-fried dumplings …"
Oh, there was so much good food. Two pages weren't enough!

Ever since the restaurant across the street started the renovation, the police station was filled with a dark cloud of despair. Even the greetings became, "Hey, buddy!
How's the renovation going today? "
"Hey, the lady boss is quite beautiful. I only hope that her taste is as beautiful as her face."
"The chef is a blonde. Look at those unprofessional slender arms. I'm shivering!"
"Oh, no, I don't want to eat thirteen-spice Batman anymore. It's ruining all my beautiful fantasies about Chinese food!"
…
Dick didn't participate in the conversation. He read the case files quietly in his office. Occasionally, a few words of gossip would reach his ears and distract him.
Detective Grayson remembered the lady boss of the restaurant. From his professional point of view, her facial features were more three-dimensional than those of ordinary Asians. She had a small face, deep eyes, a high nose, and soft amber eyes. She was tall and slender.
All in all, she was a sassy and beautiful oriental beauty.
Dick put down the case files. His office was on the street side. Looking out the window, he could see the [Superhero Themed Restaurant].
With his excellent eyesight, he immediately saw the lady boss standing at the door, waving a kitchen knife in her hand and saying something excitedly.
A few of the employees stayed far away. Only a young man, carrying a bag of ingredients, calmly stood at the side.
The lady boss wasn't going to cook, was she?
Dick pursed his lips and sympathized with the restaurant employees. No matter how he looked at it, that fashionable woman didn't seem like she could cook.
His thoughts were interrupted when his phone rang. He picked it up, only to see that it was Alfred.
Dick picked up the phone. "Good morning, Alfred.
What's up? "
Alfred said with a bitter smile, "Young Master Grayson, Young Master Damien ran away from home again."
"… Kid." Dick rubbed his eyebrows. "I'll be right back."

In the restaurant that had yet to be renovated, Gu Shanna stood at the table covered with a plastic sheet, hesitating between celery shrimp and Longjing shrimp. The former was more convenient, but the latter was more famous.
"Look!
That's Detective Grayson's car! "Gebbi suddenly exclaimed in excitement." Boss, boss, boss!
Look! "
Gu Shanna said calmly, "I know. I've seen it before."
What was the point of looking at the car? He was sitting in the car, not on the roof. She couldn't even see his face clearly. Writers like us have dignity too, alright?
Gebbi said in a daze, "Detective Grayson is the most handsome man I've ever seen in my life. My ex-boyfriend can't even compare to his leg hair!"
"…" Gu Shanna decided to keep both dishes. "Miss, wipe your drool and come back with me for a taste test."
Gu Shanna had only recently learned that the waiters would have a taste test session before the restaurant opened so that they could fully understand the types and flavors of the dishes. The restaurant's kitchen wasn't available yet, so she could only use the one at home.
According to Gebbi, when she came up with a new recipe, she would taste it again and again until she finally settled on a stable and delicious version.
"Hey, why did you taste this dish instead of that one?"
Looking at the taillights of Dick's car, Gebbi said meaningfully, "Madam, do you know the meaning of Detective Grayson's name in English?"
Gu Shanna put down her pen and chuckled at her. "Girl, have you heard of AO3?"
Gebbi was stunned. "What's AO3?"
"It's an English learning app."
Gu Shanna remembered the Dimension Wall, but couldn't explain it in detail. "Thanks to it, I know at least three hundred sayings for certain parts of men."
Detective Grayson's name was one of them.
Gebbi was briefly stunned, but soon understood. She put on an experienced smile and said, "Madam, your English is really good."
Gu Shanna smiled steadily. "Thank you."
After this (pornographic) exchange, the relationship between the two of them quickly became closer.
Gebbi happened to be a chatterbox. On their way home, she had already told Luke everything that had happened since she was a child.
To be honest, Gebbi's life was indescribably messy, and her entanglement with her ex-boyfriend was like a TV series. Shanna was amazed.

The ingredients for the taste test were from [Distribution of Poverty Alleviation Fresh Food]. Gu Shanna checked them one by one, and they were indeed of better quality than those sold on the market. The mutton didn't have any rank odor, the flour and tapioca starch were white and delicate, and the peppers were plump.
Gebbi volunteered to chop the meat, and Gu Shanna soaked some pepper water in it before she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to knead the dough.
She liked to add a certain proportion of tapioca starch to the flour, which would give the shumai a translucent texture after it was steamed and looked more beautiful.
After mixing the two kinds of flour, she added boiling water first. After mixing it well, she added cold boiling water. The noodles made this way were called semi-hot noodles. Gu Shanna felt that the chive boxes and shumai made from this kind of dough were the best.
Occasionally, when she didn't have time to knead the dough, she would use the dough instead. It also tasted good, but the dough wasn't as tough.
The dough took half an hour to knead, and then it was time to make the meat filling.
Gu Shanna washed her hands and added the pepper water, chopped onions and ginger to the meat. After beating it clockwise, she added white pepper, soy sauce, salt, sesame oil and cooking wine.
Gebbi asked curiously, "Can we wrap it now?"
"The dough is not ready yet, and the meat filling needs to be put in the fridge for a while." Gu Shanna said calmly, "Please pass me the plastic wrap, thank you."
After putting the meat filling in the fridge and returning to the living room, Gebbi had just finished a call with her colleagues, "Madam, Jamie found a child at the entrance of the restaurant."
Gu Shanna wiped her hands and said, "She was separated from her parents?
Send her to the police station. "
"The little girl is very stubborn. She insisted on eating in the restaurant. If she didn't eat, she would sit on the ground and cry.
Jamie had no choice but to ask if there was any food here. "Gebbi said helplessly," When will the shumai be ready? "
