Universe Infinite Canteen

Although it's all barbecue, there are still some differences in preparation.

Based on the characteristics of the ingredients, Old Wang marinated some of them, ground some into meat rolls, made others ahead of time into bacon or sausages, and left some untreated to preserve their original flavor.

In addition, Old Wang also grilled some vegetables like potatoes, onions, and bell peppers as side dishes, as well as bread and muffin cakes for the main course and dessert, ensuring a rich variety of dishes.

The number of guests Mickey initially mentioned was not to exceed thirty people.

Thus, Ma Lu also prepared meals based on the portion for thirty people, but in the end, only 23 guests actually arrived that evening, and the meal charge had been agreed upon beforehand and would not change.

This made Ma Lu secretly delighted, feeling like he had made a profit.

Especially when he noticed that the guests dining that evening were generally not big in stature, many of them were minors, and there were even some little elves shorter than Ma Lu's knees, he felt even more like he had made a double profit.

However, Ma Lu soon realized that things were not so simple; he had estimated the consumption of ingredients based on the number and size of ordinary people.

But in reality, these cartoon characters couldn't care less about Newton's coffin, let alone the rules of biology.

Ma Lu personally witnessed Mickey open its mouth and swallow a roasted rib almost as big as itself without even blinking an eye.

In comparison, its delicate little wife was much more ladylike, nibbling on burgers slowly, but her stomach seemed like a bottomless pit.

And those blue little elves whom Ma Lu had underestimated earlier displayed astonishing combat power, circling around a meat patty larger than themselves and gnawing it clean in less than two seconds, and then continuously hoisting up a pork knuckle to stuff into their mouths.

Ma Lu didn't even see them chew; when they took it out, only a bone cleaner than the restaurant's glasses was left.

But the heaviest hitter was the coquettish ancient-dressed beauty, who opened her mouth and sucked in the vegetables, meat, and even the plates on the table.

One plate of roasted eggplant was being held and eaten by a monk, and seeing that the monk did not let go, the beauty's fox-eyes turned, and she simply sucked the monk into her stomach as well.

This caused the other two monks to panic and rush to rescue their companion, while the ancient-dressed beauty had already finished off the nearby food and was clearly not yet satisfied.

Seeing new food being delivered, her mouth split into a smile.

And just at that moment, Ma Lu felt something brush past his ear.

Then a voice like a thunderclap echoed, "Hey, demon, if you don't spit out that person, Old Sun is not going to be polite!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Great Saint, you have wronged me," the ancient-dressed beauty coyly said, her eyes shifting, "I've been sitting here quietly all along, I haven't eaten anyone."

As soon as her words fell, the monkey lifted the club, preparing to strike, "You demon, you think you can deceive Old Sun's fiery golden eyes?!"

Meanwhile, the police-uniformed black cat, who had been quietly eating, suddenly stood up, its eyes as large as copper bells, and coldly watched the ancient-dressed beauty. A hand rested on the Luger P08 at its waist.

The ancient-dressed beauty, now the focus of two formidable beings, finally felt afraid and dared not argue any further. She opened her mouth and spit out the monk she had previously swallowed.

The other two monks managed to revive their companion after a sequence of acupressure and dousing with cold water.

Seeing that the monkey was still eyeing her fiercely, the ancient-dressed beauty burst into tears, "Sorry, sorry, I was just too hungry."

At that moment, the Underpants Brothers also stepped up to mediate, explaining, "Great Saint, let it go, let it go. Science has proven that people really will eat anything when they're extremely hungry." Then they addressed Ma Lu.

"Boss, could you please serve us some more dishes?"

With that, the tension between the two parties eased, and the restaurant regained its previously cheerful atmosphere.

The only person who was unhappy was Ma Lu.

It turned out that he was the one who got hurt after both sides clashed, and not only that, but the new arrival was also a super-glutton.

When eating, he was like a famished ghost reborn, grabbing food with his hairy hands and shoving it into his mouth, and when drinking, he guzzled like a whale.

He was with that ancient-dressed beauty, and they were both gulping down large quantities, sucking up all the nearby cat-pee beer into their mouths.

Ma Lu also wanted to shout, "Great Saint, please withdraw your magic powers! Since you're a stone monkey, you won't starve to death even if you eat less."

But just in that brief delay, the cartoon characters had finished off a whole table of food, and then all turned to look at Ma Lu.

His face turned ashen, yet when he had taken their orders, he had no idea that he would be serving such a crowd of demons and monsters that evening.

Otherwise, he would have never gone with a pay-per-seat model. Unfortunately, it was too late now for any regrets.

In the end, Ma Lu could only squeeze out four words through gritted teeth, "Just you wait."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the kitchen to inform Old Wang to keep working, and, seeing that they were running out of ingredients, Ma Lu had no choice but to take out the supplies from the Phasic Space as well.

As expected, it was just like throwing meat buns to a dog.

The cartoon characters looked over again, and Ma Lu shook his head, "There's no more, truly not a drop left, you've eaten my kitchen clean, that should be enough. It's getting late, you should all go back and rest."

Then the police uniform-clad cat glared, "Boss, you mentioned the kitchen's empty, but what about other places?"

Ma Lu was about to say that other places were empty too, but facing those bell-like big eyes glaring at him, the lie he was about to tell suddenly wouldn't come out of his mouth.

He felt as if he were in an interrogation room under a bright light.

In the end, he could only say, "It's too far away, there's no time, let's leave it for next time."

And as soon as he had spoken, he regretted it, because the Monkey from the other side spoke up, "Distance doesn't matter. Old Sun here can somersault for a hundred and eight thousand miles and could lend you the somersault cloud to play with."

"As if you're any good," Ma Lu felt a headache coming and refused, "I don't like sitting on clouds."

"Then ride on my back, I fly really fast too, little brother." This came from the one with the rocket shoes.

Ma Lu looked expressionlessly at the artificial little boy standing in front of him, wondering if these people would die if they stopped talking.

He couldn't remember these guys being so noisy in his childhood.

"Or we could use a black hole, it's more convenient," Mickey offered enthusiastically.

Seeing there was no escape, Ma Lu finally chose the Monkey's somersault cloud, thinking he might as well take advantage of this opportunity to test drive the somersault cloud—after all, it would make for a good story later on.
