Meg shook his head with a smile and said calmly, "The menu is correct. It's just that the restaurant has just opened, so there aren't many dishes. We'll introduce new ones later."
"I'm not talking about the dishes, but the price. What is this Yangzhou fried rice? 600 copper coins per plate? Did you use giant dragon meat to stir-fry this? "Mobai shook his head and pointed at the small line of words on the menu. He was a little annoyed.
The decoration of the restaurant was nice, and the owner was pleasing to the eye. He didn't expect the owner to take advantage of him. The line was so small. If he ordered it without reading it clearly, he would have spent 600 copper coins for nothing.
With 600 copper coins, he could buy a big plate of roast meat and two bottles of strong liquor at Fryer's Tavern. He could even fill his wine bag when he went back. Mobai's good impression of Meg was gone again. Humans are indeed the best at disguising and the most cunning.
"I'm sorry. It's not made with dragon meat, but the price is correct. I think this Yangzhou fried rice is worth the price, or even more. You can choose whether you want to order or not," Mag said in a neither servile nor overbearing tone, but he didn't explain too much.
Meg had expected that some customers would question the price, but he had absolute confidence in his Yangzhou fried rice. Was 600 copper coins not worth it? If it weren't for the mission of 1,000 plates of Yangzhou fried rice, he would have set the price at 6,000 copper coins. This Yangzhou fried rice was made with rice irrigated by the Spring of Life and various rare ingredients. It was made with the best cooking skills in this world.
Mobai stared at Meg, trying to suppress his anger. Humans are indeed cunning. They can say such things without changing their expressions. Although the style of this restaurant was indeed very good, he paid the most attention to the taste of the food. The restaurant's appearance was secondary.
What on earth was this Yangzhou fried rice? He couldn't figure it out from the name. What was Yangzhou? Could rice be eaten if it was fried? He had eaten in all the restaurants in Chaos City in the past few decades, but he had never heard of this dish.
Mobai stared at Mag for a long while, but Mag's expression remained calm and collected. There was no hint of guilt or impatience in his expression, and it was as if he were waiting for him to make a decision.
He had seen all kinds of people in his decades of running a weapons shop. Not many people could have such a mentality in front of him, and they were all capable people. He couldn't help but wonder if there was something special about this Yangzhou fried rice. Is it really worth 600 copper coins? He hesitated, and then asked, "You said the price is correct. Are you sure this Yangzhou fried rice is delicious?"
"Whether it's delicious or not has a lot to do with personal taste. Mag shook his head. No matter how delicious something was, some people would find it disgusting. Looking at Mobai's furious expression, he couldn't help but heave an internal sigh. It appeared that this first customer was most likely going to be a failure.
"You!" Mobai was even more annoyed. Other shops couldn't wait to praise their food to the heavens, but this guy retorted with "I can't guarantee". He can't even guarantee that it's delicious. Looks like he's lying. If he thinks it's not delicious, he can say it's a personal taste problem. This human is too cunning. I'd better not eat.
"Father, Amy is hungry." At this time, Amy, who had been watching them talk, looked up at Meg and said with a pout. Then she glanced at Mobai with disdain. This dwarf grandpa is taking so long to order such delicious rainbow fried rice. Father should have already made one.
Mobai, who was about to get up and leave, was too embarrassed to stand up when Amy gave him a disdainful look. The little girl's expression was clearly disdaining him for taking up her meal time.
"Okay, I'll go make Yangzhou fried rice for Amy." Meg smiled and patted the little girl's head. Then he looked at Mobai and said, "Customer, please take your time to decide. Call me when you've made up your mind." Then he turned and went into the kitchen to prepare the fried rice.
"The rainbow fried rice is really delicious. Amy loves it. Grandpa Dwarf, are you sure you don't want to order one?" Amy sat down on the high stool behind the counter again. She looked at Mobai with her chin in her hands, blinked, and said innocently.
"So … so cute!" Mobai felt that his steel-like heart, which had been tempered thousands of times, was actually softened at this moment. He almost blurted out, "Of course I want one!"
But when he thought of his doubts and annoyance just now, if he were to order now because of the little girl's words, wouldn't he lose face? He forced himself to hold it back, crossed his arms, and said coolly, "I'll take a look and decide later."
"Okay, anyway, you'll fall in love with the taste later." Amy shrugged, as if she had already seen through everything. She ignored Mobai and turned to look at the kitchen expectantly.
Mobai felt that he was despised again. He was despised by a little girl twice in a row. But looking at her cute face, what could he do? He could only forgive her.
"I'd like to see if the Yangzhou fried rice is really that delicious, or if this little girl has also been corrupted by that human," Mobai thought to himself. He was not in a hurry to leave, so he sat there and waited patiently.
He had practiced tens of thousands of times in the test field for the God of Cookery, and he had already cooked it twice in the real world. Therefore, it only took Meg less than ten minutes to make a plate of Yangzhou fried rice.
When he came out with a plate of fried rice, Meg looked at Mobai, who was still sitting there, a little surprised. He thought that this grumpy customer had already left.
"It smells so good, Father is so awesome." Amy jumped down from the high stool, stared at the plate of fried rice in Meg's hand, and clapped her little hands happily.
"This is Yangzhou fried rice? It doesn't look that special, does it? Although it looks pretty good, there's no meat at all. It's definitely not satisfying. "Mobai, who was looking forward to it, suddenly felt a little disappointed when he saw the fried rice.
Meg put the fried rice on the table across from Mobai and said to Amy with a smile, "Go wash your hands first, then come and eat."
"Okay." Amy trotted into the kitchen, stepped on a stool, and washed her hands. Then she trotted back to the table, climbed onto a chair, and moved closer to the plate to smell it. Her big blue eyes suddenly became brighter.
At this time, the smell of the fried rice also drifted to Mobai's table. He couldn't help but take a breath, and his eyes suddenly widened. He looked at the fried rice in front of Amy in disbelief. "This smell! Why is it so tempting? "
"Amy, start eating," Amy said with a spoon in her hand. Then she scooped up a spoonful of fried rice and put it into her mouth. She chewed happily, and her little face was full of joy as if she was enjoying a delicious meal. She ate one mouthful after another, swaying her body slightly as if she couldn't stop at all.
