A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 2230



Chapter 2230: That Family

“It’s here, Boss.”

“Are you sure he’s in there? Then, what are we waiting for? Let’s go in.”

“Wait a sec, Boss. There are rules here. We need to line up.”

“I have to line up too? I came to negotiate a business deal.”

“Do you see them? The people lining up at the front are the city lord and his family. If you think it’s appropriate to cut the queue, please do so yourself, Sir.”

“I see… Actually, lining up is quite nice too. How orderly it is.”

Hector followed Garlan and Mylo to the back of the line and lined up in an orderly manner.

Hector, who had taken the flying steed in the morning, reached Chaos City before noon.

After Garlan fetched him, they went straight to Mamy Restaurant.

Of course, he didn’t fly for hours to come here for lunch.

However, they happened to be on time for lunch and long lines had already formed at Mamy Restaurant. He had to wait for the lunch service to be over even if he wanted to talk with Mag about a collaboration.

Hector sneaked a peek at Michael and his family before softly saying, “This Boss Mag let the city lord and his family wait in the cold for the restaurant to open for business, he is indeed as rumored.”

Garlan nodded and replied, “Boss Mag is famous for obeying the rules. Every customer has to obey the restaurant’s rules, otherwise, he won’t serve you.”

“No one ever tried to cut the queue?”

“Do you think there will be any idiots who dare to try that when even the city lord chose to respect this rule?” Garlan chuckled before whispering, “Moreover, Boss Mag’s daughter has two very powerful masters, which are those two lining up at the very front. They are Lord of Ice, Urien and Lord of Fire, Krassu. Do you think it’s still possible to cut the queue now?”

“It’s actually the two of them!” Hector sucked in a cold breath.

...

Krassu’s fame in the Roth Empire wasn’t any less than Alex’s and his nemesis, Urien, was equally famous too.

He didn’t expect Mr. Mag’s daughter to have two masters who were so powerful. With two such backers, the rules were simply nothing to oppose now.

“It’s fortunate that you stopped me earlier.” Hector patted Garlan on his shoulder. He wondered if he would be sent flying by those old gentlemen if he had just gone for the door earlier.

Hector softly asked, “Have you mentioned it to Boss Mag before?”

“It isn’t something that I can decide. I’m afraid he would be mistaken, so I didn’t bring it up. We were waiting for you to come and negotiate it yourself.” Garlan shook his head.

Hector nodded. He frowned slightly as he looked at the signboard gleaming under the sunlight.

He was still quite confident on his way here and he came up with a few plans. However, he suddenly wasn’t very confident anymore when he stood in front of Mamy Restaurant now.

Garlan consoled him. “Don’t fret, Boss. Even if the deal fails, it’s still great to have a meal here. Perhaps, you won’t want to leave afterwards.”

“Then, I want to see if it’s indeed as amazing as you guys said,” Hector replied smilingly. He was a 100kg chowhound that came from a family of chowhounds.

His father founded ‘Perfect Food’ and he grew it big. For a very long time, he was the supporting pillar of the ‘Perfect Food”s gourmet column.

Mylo, who didn’t have a chance to speak up, chimed in, “You don’t have to worry about that at all. A man who touched countless chowhounds with his words alone, wouldn’t disappoint.”

Hector nodded. Mylo had said what he thought exactly.

The column that Mag personally wrote could rival the best gourmet columnists, while his main job was actually a chef.

He was too busy during this period of time, so he didn’t have the chance to come to Chaos City. He would definitely take this chance to try the dishes out today.

Vivian held her mother’s arm and smilingly said, “Wow, it looks like today’s new dishes are spicy too. Why don’t we order a helping of Sichuan spicy chicken too?”

Eunice worriedly said, “Will it be too spicy? Will we get little bumps on our skin tomorrow after we eat it?”

“Boss Mag’s spiciness isn’t the usual spiciness. We’d better be more cautious.” Michael nodded in agreement.

As a victim of the spicy grilled fish, Michael was always cautious of all Mamy Restaurant’s dishes that had the word ‘spicy’ in its name.

Luna smiled quietly. She always took part in such family gatherings, so she didn’t feel awkward at all.

“Don’t worry. We came early so we’ll definitely get to eat the tofu pudding. A helping of tofu pudding could solve all skin problems,” Vivian said confidently.

“That’s true. The tofu pudding is delicious and it has beautifying effects as well.” Eunice nodded before looking at Luna at the side. She touched Luna’s face lovingly. “Luna, you’ve got to eat more later. You have lost weight and you have dark circles around your eyes now. Did you recently stay up late?”

Luna smilingly replied, “The Hope Primary School is wrapping up, so I’m busier than usual. However, it will be done soon.”

Although she was far from home, the kind and gentle Lady Eunice always cared for her like a mother. She made her feel warm.

Michael smiled helplessly. He didn’t have any say in his family. Since they had already decided, he would just follow them.

The restaurant’s door and the customers streamed in.

Vivian and her family sat at a corner table. Even though many recognized Michael, they didn’t go up to talk to him. This was a common consensus among the Mamy Restaurant’s customers.

Negotiating a business deal at the table was also disallowed. After all, so many people were lining up for a table to have their meals, so there wasn’t any time for people to talk about business slowly.

Vivian picked up the menu and quickly found the new dish. She said, “I want a helping of Sichuan spicy chicken, a helping of sweet tofu pudding and a large spicy grilled fish.”

“You guys can choose the rest.” Vivian passed the menu to Luna.

“A large grilled fish is enough for all of us.” Luna looked at Michael before considerately said, “Why don’t we change it to a small grilled fish and order some other dishes?”

“Hmm, that’s a good suggestion.” Michael agreed with her. “Of course, we have to order the grilled fish, but we also can order the other dishes too.”

The grilled fish saved Vivian’s life, so even though Michael couldn’t take the spiciness, he still had an affinity with that dish.

“Oh, so you guys don’t want to eat grilled fish today. I will just order one small one for myself and you guys can order other dishes.” Vivian nodded. She couldn’t believe that there were actually people who didn’t want to eat the grilled fish.

Michael ordered a helping of the eggplant with garlic sauce and a bowl of shaved noodles that Vivian recommended.

Eunice ordered a helping of roast goose. She heard her friend talk about it a few days ago, so she wanted to eat it.

Luna ordered a helping of tofu pudding for herself. Since there were already many main dishes, she didn’t order any more of them.

Vivian turned to Luna and whispered in her ear, “Don’t stand on ceremony. My father is giving us a treat today. We don’t get such opportunities every single day.”

Michael also chimed in with a smile. “Luna, you can order whatever you want. We can take the rest away if we can’t finish it.”
