Chapter 1736: No! I Want The Large!
After lunchtime operating hours, Mag went upstairs to get changed before pushing his bicycle out.
“Father, where are you going?” Amy, who was sitting behind the counter while holding Ugly Duckling, asked.
“I’m going to a mutton restaurant. Little Amy, do you want to come along?” Mag asked with a smile. Mag did not go over to Leiden’s mutton restaurant in the morning to show his support, because Connie said she was coming in the afternoon. Now that he was done with the afternoon operating hours, and Connie had the rest to catch up with, he could make time to go over and finish his mission. This might very well be a high-tier mission that could increase his strength.
“Alright!” Amy’s eyes lit up. She hugged Ugly Duckling, and jumped off the tall stool. “I love mutton!”
“Then we’ll try the mutton made by the orc uncle later. I heard that it’s pretty good.” Mag brought Amy as they rode off to the western city square. At a prominent spot on the western city square, there was a mutton restaurant named “Leimo Mutton Restaurant”.
“Leimo? The combination of Leiden and Moore? Why not Leidmo?” Moore raised his brow. It felt uncomfortable, as though something was stuck in his throat.
The western city square was Chaos City’s largest wholesale market. Commodities shipped over from various parts of the continent would gather here. It was also the place where retailers got their goods. There were many people and vehicles moving around here every day, and it was a very bustling area.
Where there were people, there would also naturally be many restaurants. The area near the entrance of the city was almost taken up by restaurants, and the rental fees for a shop here were very costly. However, there was no worry that a shop here could not be rented out. Harrison and Gjerj really put in a lot of effort seeing that they got Leiden and his son a shop at such a good location.
“Smells so good!”
Before they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, there was already a strong mutton fragrance wafting over, which made Mag’s and Amy’s eyes light up.
The rank odor of the mutton was completely gone. There was only the freshness of the mutton mixed with the fragrance of the spices.
Mag brought Amy to the entrance of the mutton restaurant. The restaurant was rather big. It seemed to be around 200 square feet. At the entrance, there were two huge pots almost the size of a human, with hot steam rising from them. That enticing fragrance came from there.
It was already past meal time, but there were still many customers seated in the mutton restaurant. Leiden was at the two giant pots as Moore attended to the customers. Harrison and Gjerj had aprons on as they cleared plates. It seemed like these two partners also had to become last-minute service staff.
Many traders who were carrying bags of goods could not help but stop to take a look in to see what was giving off such an enticing smell. After that, they could not help but be attracted by those two mysterious large pots. After a spell of hesitation, they still proceeded into the restaurant.
“Although I’ve just had my fill, I feel that I can still have another bowl of mutton,” Amy said as she smacked her lips.
“That’s not a bad idea.” Mag parked his bicycle, and held Amy’s hand as they walked into the restaurant.
“Wel—” Leiden began instinctively. He looked up, and was stunned for a while when he saw Mag. He smiled, and said, “Mr. Mag, you’re here.”
“Yes. It’s your first day of the opening, so I came to show my support.” Mag nodded with a smile, and said, “But I see that your business is very good on your first day. Your restaurant has really shot to fame.”
Mag was really envious. When he first opened Mamy Restaurant, it was not even easy to have the first customer come by. Leiden’s mutton restaurant, in comparison, was very popular on its first day of opening.
“It’s all thanks to your improved recipe that could help us attract so many customers,” Leiden said with gratitude. However, his eyes and mouth betrayed his happiness.
He would never have dreamt that while he was just a homeless herder who had lost his grazing ground just a month ago, he could come to own a mutton restaurant in Chaos City in an instant.
He also heard way more praises than he had in his entire life. He felt that his life actually had meaning for the first time when he saw the smiles on the customers’ faces.
All this was thanks to Harrison and Gjerj, and also Mag, who was not stingy to share.
“Boss Mag, I thought you were so busy with your things that you have forgotten that we’re opening today. We were so busy this afternoon,” Harrison grumbled humorously as he came over. When he saw Amy, he smiled brightly. “Little Boss is here too. What a rare customer!”
“Hello, Uncle Blue Fatty.” Amy nodded courteously. However, her gaze was glued to the two large pots of mutton. Probably only a giant dragon’s stomach could contain all that mutton.
“My apologies, I was held back by something in the morning,” Mag said apologetically. It was his fault indeed.
“Sigh. Why are you saying all this? Come, come, come, take a seat inside. Boss Mag is a professional. Take a look and check where our amateur restaurant could improve.” Harrison smiled as he led Mag in.
The mutton restaurant was simply renovated, but it was well done. There were many decorations on the walls with elements from orc tribes, and Mag could tell the amount of effort they put into the renovation from the wooden tables and stools.
The moment he entered the restaurant, he could see a simple menu stuck on the wall stating: Mutton Stew: 30 copper coins for a small bowl; 50 copper coins for a large bowl! Side dishes and desserts are self-service!
The menu was very simple. This was a mutton restaurant that only sold mutton stew.
The price was very affordable. For traders who came to the square to trade, a meal in the square between 30 and 50 copper coins was already very cheap, much less when they were able to get meat in that meal.
Beside the menu was another wooden board, which said, “Leimo Mutton Restaurant Rules.
“1. This mutton restaurant welcomes guests of all races!
“2. Customers who enter the restaurant have tacitly consented to join tables. Customers can take a seat and order their meal immediately as long as there are empty seats!
“3. Please be civilized in eating. When there are many customers, please have the awareness to line up. First come, first serve!
“4. To be continued…”
Mag’s eyes lit up, and he smiled.
“Hehe, Gjerj and I had a discussion, and thought that Boss Mag’s rules were superb, so we used them. There shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Harrison scratched his head with embarrassment.
“Of course not. I am very glad to see that these rules could be spread,” Mag told Harrison and Gjerj sincerely. He did feel a little strange to see Mamy Restaurant’s rules outside.
It felt like realizing that one day, something that he had been insisting on suddenly changed others. It was a very special feeling.
“Thank you.” Moore went up as well, and bowed deeply to Mag.
“You’re welcome. What I did was just a small thing.” Mag helped Moore up. He brought Amy to a random seat, sat down, and smilingly said, “We’ve already had our lunch, so let’s just order two small bowls of mutton.”
“No! I want the large!” Amy sat beside Mag, and resolutely said, “I also want another bowl of rice!”
