"How long do we have to wait before we can eat?" Tony wasn't hungry at first, but as he waited … he started to feel hungry.
The line was moving forward slowly, but the speed was too slow. They had been waiting for almost two hours, but it was still far from their turn.
If they were on the Demon Islands, they wouldn't have to wait in line when they heard that he was coming. They would welcome him in like a boss. This was the first time they had to wait in line for such a long time.
"I've counted the number of people. It will be our turn in about half an hour. It's a pity that we only have half an hour to eat. We probably won't be able to eat hot pot today. The new dish is definitely gone." Vanessa stood on her tiptoes and looked forward. She was still in high spirits, as if she didn't feel that waiting in line was tiring at all. She just felt that it was a pity that she wouldn't be able to eat hot pot and the new dish.
Abraham's head was drooping, and he was already drowsy. He was following the line slowly and unconsciously.
"Half an hour …" Tony's eyes widened, but when he saw the customers lining up calmly — even the irascible demons were lining up obediently — he resisted the urge to complain. He thought to himself, I'd like to see what kind of magic this restaurant has to be able to make so many customers line up here willingly. And that crayfish, ha, how can there be any crayfish in this world that can be compared to the crayfish from Ayi Crayfish Restaurant?
After about half an hour, they finally reached the end of the line.
Yabemiya glanced at Vanessa and the others, as well as the demon uncle behind them. She walked out of the door with a smile and guided them to their seats outside the restaurant. "There are no seats in the restaurant at the moment. The designated hot pot area has also stopped accepting new customers. Dear customers, please eat here and take a look at the menu."
"Big Sister Mia, are there any more of the new dish that was released today?" Vanessa asked expectantly as soon as she sat down.
"The 100 pieces of durian pizza have all been sold. If you want to eat it, you can come over earlier tomorrow." Yabemiya shook her head slightly.
"Is there no more tofu pudding?"
"Yes, the tofu pudding is also sold out." Yabemiya nodded.
"Ah, sure enough, you can be late for anything, but you definitely can't be late for a meal at Mamy's!" Vanessa lamented, feeling as if she had missed out on a priceless treasure.
Tony and Vanessa shared a table. Although it was a little strange for them to dine outside the restaurant since this restaurant was so beautiful, there were many open-air restaurants on the Demon Islands. Hence, they didn't think too much about it. They picked up the menu and flipped it open. Their eyes lit up when they saw the pictures of the dishes on the menu.
Every dish was accompanied by a picture, and the pictures looked like they were recorded with a photostone. They looked very real and didn't look like they were drawn. Just looking at the pictures made one feel very hungry.
What surprised him was the prices of the dishes. He scanned the dishes from top to bottom. The cheapest dish was 100 copper coins per bowl of soy milk, while the most expensive dish, Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup, cost 10000 copper coins per unit!
"10000 copper coins!" Tony's eyes widened, and he looked at the price incredulously. The prices of the dishes in this restaurant were so expensive. He had been on the Demon Islands for many years, and he had never seen such an exaggerated menu.
"This is a scam, right? I can get a delicious spicy crayfish at the Demon Islands with 100 copper coins, but I can only get a bowl of white soy milk here, "Tony muttered to himself. He wasn't actually short of money. As a gourmet who was paid handsomely, even if he ordered all the dishes on the menu, he would only feel a little heartache.
Then, his gaze landed on the braised crayfish. His eyes lit up when he saw the bright red crayfish with big pincers in the picture. He said in surprise, "Isn't this the same crayfish from Ayi Restaurant?!"
Then, his gaze landed on the price.
"F * ck!"
Braised crayfish — 1000 copper coins per crayfish!
It was 10 times more expensive!
"Uncle, how is it? Isn't Mr. Mak selling his crayfish very conscientious?" Vanessa smiled at Tony, who was staring at the crayfish.
"Conscientious? Ha. The crayfish on Carapace Island are 10 times cheaper than this. "Tony rolled his eyes.
"But this is Chaos City. There's no sea, so it's super difficult to get fresh seafood. You can probably only get it at Mamy's," Vanessa said with a smile.
"Seafood will die very quickly once it leaves the sea. Hence, it's impossible for fresh seafood to appear in Chaos City. I think it's a little expensive to sell a dead crayfish for 1000 copper coins. After all, Ayi Crayfish Restaurant's crayfish is only 100 copper coins per crayfish, and it's the best delicacy. "Tony shook his head, and disagreed with Vanessa.
"Not necessarily. I've tried the freshest seafood, but I don't think it's more delicious than Mr. Mak's crayfish. In terms of taste, it can't be compared at all. I think the price of 1000 copper coins is totally worth it. Furthermore, I think Mr. Mak's braised crayfish won't taste worse than the crayfish that Teacher Tony recommends. " Vanessa insisted. Then, she looked at Yabemiya, and said, "Big Sister Mia, I want a crayfish, and then a huge helping of insanely spicy grilled fish!"
"Then, I'll try this crayfish too." Tony was a little indignant. He also ordered a braised crayfish. When he saw beer in the beer section, he also ordered a cold beer. He wanted to see if the quality of this restaurant's beer could reach the standard of Ayi Crayfish Restaurant.
Abraham, who was still leisurely thinking about what to eat for dinner, sat up straight when he heard Vanessa's words. He looked at her with a bitter expression, and said, "Insanely spicy again! Little ancestor, let's … let's discuss this properly. We just had the insanely spicy hot pot yesterday. Even if we have the super spicy hot pot today, we can still accept it … "
"But insanely spicy is the best. It's so spicy that your tongue is tied up. Isn't that super interesting?" Vanessa looked at Abraham innocently.
"I don't think it's interesting at all. I just feel like my butt doesn't belong to me anymore …" Abraham looked at the sky. He suddenly missed Vanessa, who was still working hard to fix her teeth. How nice it would be to be bland. Insanely spicy was not something a middle-aged man like him should be able to handle.
"Insanely spicy?" Tony was a little curious. What kind of flavor was this?
"Uncle, you can eat with us later. This is Mr. Mak's original flavor. I heard that real men eat insanely spicy. Do you want to try it?" Vanessa asked with a smile. Then, she added, "Most people don't dare to try it."
"Hehe, it's just a little spicy. Easy," Tony said with a relaxed expression. What a joke. Was there any food in this world that could scare him?
No way!
