Darren looked at Adolphus and pondered for a while. His eyes lit up, and he asked, "You're the doctor from this morning?"
"Yes." Adolphus nodded. From the way Darren's eyes focused, he could indeed see.
Darren nodded with a shy smile. "Yes, my eyes can see some things now. Although it's still a little blurry, I can really see."
"I'm sorry, Doctor. We still have to trouble you to look after our sleigh. We forgot to collect it this afternoon," Lucy said to Adolphus with a look of embarrassment. Lucy looked at Adolphus embarrassedly. She had forgotten about the sleigh in the afternoon because Darren had fallen asleep in a hurry.
"It's alright. I've kept the sleigh for you." Adolphus waved his hand. What was important now was not the sleigh, but this young man's eyes. How did he recover his vision in just one afternoon? Even if he only recovered part of his vision, it was still unbelievable.
"Pardon me for asking, but which doctor did you find to treat your eyes?" Adolphus asked Darren. He already had a guess, but he found it hard to believe.
"I didn't find a doctor. Mr. Christopher brought me to this restaurant to eat the roasted pig's eyes. After that, I went back to sleep, and I could see when I woke up." Darren shook his head. He looked past the crowd and towards the kitchen. He saw Meg, who was busy in the kitchen. Although his vision was a little blurry, his eyes still lit up immediately. "It's him. He's the one who cured my eyes."
"Indeed … it's roasted pig's eyes." Adolphus suddenly felt his throat dry up. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Half of it was because he was happy that this young man's eyes could see again after being cured, and the other half was because … he couldn't really explain it himself.
As an ophthalmologist with 30 years of experience, and known as the best ophthalmologist in Chaos City, he had his own pride.
However, an eye disease that even he couldn't do anything about was cured by a restaurant owner with just 10 skewers of roasted pig's eyes?
This feeling of defeat was even more unacceptable than being defeated by other doctors.
"Hmm? Isn't that Doctor Adolphus? "
"Yes. He's the best ophthalmologist in Chaos City. He has cured countless patients with eye diseases."
"I didn't expect him to come to Amy's for a meal too."
Many people recognized Adolphus, and some familiar people greeted him. However, not many people noticed the disappointment on his face.
"Dr. Adolphus." Christopher turned around and greeted Adolphus with a smile. Just as he was about to explain Darren's situation to him, he saw that Adolphus's expression was a little unnatural. He thought about it, and understood. Instead, he said, "What a coincidence. You're here for dinner too. Let's talk next time. I'll bring the children to sit at the side first. There aren't many seats left."
"Alright, talk to you later." Adolphus glanced at Christopher gratefully before returning to his seat.
"You can rest assured now. This child's eyes will definitely recover. Don't worry about it. Mr Mak is a good man. Of course, he's also a genius." Jason saw that Adolphus's expression was a little unnatural, so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
"You know that I'm not the kind of person who is jealous of other people's talents," Adolphus said seriously.
"If you were that kind of person, wouldn't I have been chopped to death by you a hundred times?"
"You don't have that kind of plaything." Adolphus rolled his eyes with a smile.
"Alright, alright. Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about this rum. How many glasses do you want to drink tonight? Mr Mak never lies. If he said there's not much left, then it's definitely not going to be sold for a few days. One glass is one glass less. "Jason changed the topic.
"Then I'll definitely have a few more glasses."
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. The strength of this 15-year-old rum is no joke. With my alcohol tolerance, I'll be drunk after two and a half glasses. Furthermore, I'll have to be carried out of the house."
Adolphus thought seriously for a while, and said, "Then I'll have one and a half glasses."
"Alright, then we'll have four glasses in total." Jason nodded. He opened the menu and pushed it in front of Adolphus. "Come, order the dishes that go with the wine."
Adolphus looked at the menu. It was painted with vivid colors that resembled real dishes. His gaze quickly landed on the roasted pig's eyes. Roasted pig's eyes — 300 copper coins per skewer.
300 copper coins could buy a huge pig's trotter in Chaos City, and it was enough for a whole family to have two meals.
300 copper coins for a skewer of roasted pig's eyes was not cheap.
However, since this roasted pig's eyes could treat such a serious eye disease, it was not too much to sell it for 300 copper coins a skewer. He had seen many patients who were willing to fork out all their wealth in exchange for their sight. If their eye disease could be treated by eating roasted pig's eyes, they would be willing to pay 3,000 copper coins or even 30,000 copper coins, let alone 300 copper coins a skewer.
"You want to try this?" Jason saw that Adolphus's gaze was fixed on the roasted pig's eyes. He smiled, and said, "I saw them having a good time yesterday. Why don't we order a few skewers to try today?"
"Can normal customers who don't have eye diseases order it too?" Adolphus asked uncertainly.
"Of course. Mr. Mak didn't say that this could treat eye diseases in the first place. It was the customers who discovered it today. Just like those ladies who came to eat tofu pudding because they wanted to become more beautiful, they might not be able to compete with those tough men in front of them. After all, tofu pudding is so delicious that it doesn't matter if it's male or female. Just the taste alone is already worth it. It doesn't matter if it has any beautifying effects, "Jason said with a smile.
"A snack that costs 200 copper coins per serving is worth it too?" Adolphus glanced at the price of the tofu pudding.
"You can ask the waiter if we still have a chance to eat tofu pudding later. I strongly recommend that you eat sweet tofu pudding. It's even better than eating candy," Jason recommended seriously.
Yabemiya happened to turn to their table, and asked with a smile, "Hello, what would you like to order?"
"We'd like four glasses of rum, two skewers of roasted pig's eyes, and a medium spicy grilled fish." Jason ordered quickly, and then asked, "Oh, yes. Is there any tofu pudding today?"
"Yes, but there aren't many tofu puddings left for both flavors." Mia nodded with a smile.
"That's great. We'd like two sweet tofu puddings." Jason made the decision for Adolphus without hesitation. He then looked at him, and asked, "Is there anything else you want to eat?"
"That's all for now." Adolphus glanced at the spicy grilled fish that Jason ordered. This amount should be enough for the two of them, so he closed the menu casually.
