Leiden and Moore came from the Twilight Forest. Their tribe was a small one that herded sheep for a living, and was on the decline.
There weren't many pastures in the forest, to begin with, and the various tribes were still fighting for territory. Some time ago, the last pastures of their tribe had been taken over. Leiden didn't want to be their shepherd, so he brought Moore to Chaos City.
Chaos City was a good place. Leiden had long heard that there were opportunities everywhere. As long as one was willing to put in the effort, they would never starve to death.
That was the truth. After coming here for half a month, the father and son relied on moving goods for others and sleeping on shared beds. Not only did they earn money for their meals, they even had 1,000 copper coins left.
However, moving goods wasn't a long-term thing. There would come a day when Leiden couldn't move anymore. Moore hadn't gotten married yet, so he couldn't expect him to provide for him when he was old. Hence, the father and son didn't rush to the factory this morning. Instead, they came to Aden Square, which was said to be the most prosperous place in Chaos City. They wanted to see if they could find any opportunities.
Aden Square was very big. There were all kinds of shops lined up along the crescent-shaped square.
The restaurants were densely packed together. Tailors and cloth shops could be seen everywhere. From time to time, a drunkard would walk out of a red house with a red face. A languid woman in a gauze dress would close the door behind him with a look of disgust.
This scenery stunned the father and son who hadn't had the chance to go out for a walk.
Leiden, who had herded sheep his whole life, didn't have any other abilities apart from his strength.
However, when he saw all the restaurants along the street, Moore came up with an idea: open a mutton restaurant.
Leiden had been dealing with sheep his whole life. They didn't sell the sheep in the tribe. At most, they would exchange one or two for some salt with the merchants passing by, and the rest would be their own rations.
He didn't have any other abilities, but he was good at roasting mutton.
He could roast, stew, and make something new with simple cooking methods. He used to make many children in the tribe cry.
However, he had never thought that he could earn money from roasting mutton.
"I didn't see any mutton restaurants along the way. Could it be that the people in Chaos City don't like mutton at all?" Leiden said with a frown.
"How could that be? Mutton is so delicious. How could anyone not like it?" Muir had a look of disbelief on his face. After giving it some thought, he said seriously, "I feel that it must be because there aren't any mutton restaurants that can make good mutton. If they had eaten the mutton that you made, they'd definitely fall in love with mutton."
Leiden shook his head. He didn't lose his rationality because of Muir's words. Opening a restaurant required a large sum of money, and they didn't have the capital to do so now.
Furthermore, even if he wanted to open a mutton restaurant, he had to at least know that there were people in Chaos City who really liked to eat mutton before he could know if he could do the business.
Although he didn't have much experience, he wasn't stupid. He still had a sense of propriety.
Unknowingly, the father and son had already walked to the other corner of the Aden Square. Moore suddenly pointed to the front, and said, "Father, look. Why are there so many people queuing up in front?"
"It's so early in the morning and it's so cold. Why are you queuing up? Are they waiting for work? "Leiden looked at the long line and was a little surprised.
"Come, let's go and take a look. There are so many people queuing up. The pay for this part-time job is probably not bad," Muir said with a smile as he walked forward briskly.
"That's true." Leiden quickened his pace to catch up with Muir. He could slowly plan for the business, but he still had to work hard to save up enough capital first.
However, when Leiden and Muir got closer, they were a little dumbfounded.
Those people queuing up were all dressed up nicely. They were even more presentable than those bosses that they had seen in the past few days. These people weren't just doing part-time jobs.
"Father, look. So this is a restaurant." Muir looked at Mamy's in front of him with a surprised expression.
This restaurant was really impressive. It had a whole crystal wall, and was even more luxurious than those restaurants that they had seen before.
"Yes, so it's a restaurant." Leiden was also a little surprised. A restaurant that could make so many bosses queue up in the morning had to be very impressive. Even if they emptied their pockets, they probably wouldn't be able to afford a meal. He grabbed Muir's hand, and got ready to bring him away.
"Mr. Mak is releasing mutton soup this morning, and mutton skewers this afternoon. Two new items in one day. That's really not like Mr. Mak at all."
"Isn't that so? But the mutton smell is too strong. I can't eat it."
"Even the tripe tastes so good. What's mutton compared to it? Mr. Mak has god-like culinary skills."
"Now that you mention it, I'm a little interested in this mutton soup."
The discussions of the customers made Leiden and Muir stop in their tracks.
The two of them exchanged glances, and then turned to look at the entrance of the restaurant at the same time. There was a small blackboard hanging at the entrance, with two lines of words written on it.
Muir, who was slightly literate, read out, "New item this morning: mutton soup; New item this afternoon: mutton skewers."
It was a very simple line of words, but it made Leiden and Muir's eyes light up at the same time.
Muir looked at Leiden excitedly, and said, "Look, Father. I told you that some people would like mutton. This restaurant is so popular with the big boss. He's also making mutton."
Leiden was also a little excited, but he quickly calmed down, and softly said, "He's only just launched it. He can't be sure that everyone will like it."
"Then, let's queue up to try it, and see how the customers react. Won't we know then?" Muir also lowered his voice, but his eyes were still glowing with excitement.
"But …" Leiden murmured as he glanced at the high-end restaurant. Such a restaurant wasn't something that the two of them could step into now.
"If the food is very expensive, we can just come out after taking a look. We won't sit down, and we won't dirty their chairs." Muir could tell that Leiden was worried. "I think the people in Chaos City are quite nice."
"Alright. Then, let's queue up at the back too." Leiden made up his mind, and brought Muir to the back of the line.
The father and son had just arrived, and hadn't even found a place to stay. He felt a little embarrassed to go to someone else's restaurant to find out more information, but he had no choice. He only had this bit of ability, and he didn't have much money. If he didn't look carefully, he wouldn't dare to make a decision so easily.
"Welcome, Amy's." The restaurant's door opened slowly, and a young man in a white chef's suit walked out with a few beautiful ladies. He welcomed the customers into the restaurant with a smile.
"This is the restaurant's owner? He looks so young. "Leiden looked at that young man in shock.
