The customers greeted that young man familiarly. They should be the restaurant's regulars. Many of them even asked about the mutton soup and mutton skewers.
That young man could also call out the customers' names or nicknames accurately. However, he remained mysterious about the new dishes.
Leiden was shocked by that young man's sophistication. He and Moore followed the line to the restaurant's entrance awkwardly.
"Welcome." Meg nodded at them with a warm smile. His gaze paused on the big pot that the young man was carrying.
"Nice to meet you." Leiden quickly nodded with Moore. They lifted their feet and prepared to step into the restaurant. They rubbed the soles of their shoes against the door before going in.
Mag's gaze lingered on the orc father and son for a while. He could tell from their tattered clothes that they weren't rich, and the big wok on the young man's back and the short knife on his waist meant that one of the father and son should know how to cook.
The omniscient door told him that this father and son were just ordinary orcs.
Perhaps they had just arrived at Chaos City, and did not know the price of Mamy's, so they entered the restaurant by mistake.
There were many customers like that every day. Most of them would find an excuse to leave after seeing the menu.
Meg did not look down on them at all. There were more ordinary people in this world, after all. Spending 200 copper coins for a bowl of tofu pudding was a very painful thing for most people.
Leiden and Moore found a table near the entrance. It would be more convenient to leave the restaurant from here. They stood by the table, hesitating if they should sit down.
Their clothes were not dirty. They had taken off their clothes when they were carrying the bags, and only put them back on after they were done.
However, the tables and chairs were all as clean as mirrors. There was not even a speck of dust. If they sat down, they would definitely get a lot of dust on them, and the service staff would have to clean the place again.
"Please take a seat and look at the menu first. Someone will order for you later." Gina walked over to them, and placed the menu in front of them with a smile.
It was Moore's first time seeing such a beautiful young lady who spoke so nicely. The young man's face flushed red instantly. He lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Gina. However, he pulled Leiden's sleeve and sat down.
"How can I do that?" Leiden sat uneasily. When he looked up, Gina had already walked toward the kitchen.
"I … Let's take a look at the menu first." Muir was also a little nervous and uneasy. However, since they had already sat down, they couldn't possibly leave immediately. They still wanted to see if these customers liked the mutton soup or not.
"Alright." Leiden nodded. Since he had already sat down, he would take a look at the menu first.
"The two of you, there are no more seats at the side. We brothers can share a table with you, right?" A voice sounded in their ears.
Leiden looked up and saw a chubby, smiling face. The one who asked the question was a man dressed in a gorgeous long robe and wearing a big gemstone ring on his finger. Beside him was another man who was of a similar build and was also dressed in gorgeous robes. Leiden could tell that the two of them were the boss. He quickly pulled Moore up and said nervously, "Boss, I'll let you guys sit here."
"Hey, hey, hey." When Leiden and his son stood up, Harrison and Julian panicked a little. They quickly reached out to pull them back.
"Don't. If you guys don't want to share a table, we'll wait a little longer. If you let us go, Mr. Mak will think that we brothers are fighting for seats. It'll be very embarrassing." Harrison did not know whether to laugh or cry. This must be the first time the father and son came to Mamy's for a meal, so they did not understand the rules of sharing a table.
"Yeah. There aren't many seats at Mamy's, but there are quite a lot of customers. Therefore, the boss set a table sharing rule. As long as there are empty seats, we can sit down and share a table to eat. We're not fighting for seats. We just want to share a table," Gjergj explained with a smile. They did not want to be on Mr. Mak's blacklist for no reason because of a misunderstanding.
After hearing their explanation, and seeing that the two bosses were even more nervous than him, Leiden felt a little strange. He did not expect that there would be bosses who were willing to share a table with them. After thinking for a while, he sat back down with Moore uneasily. He carried his luggage to his feet, and nodded. "You guys can sit."
"Alright." Harrison and Gjergj smiled, and sat down on either side of him.
Harrison sat down, and curiously asked Leiden, "Judging from your accent, you don't sound like locals. Are you new to Chaos City?"
"Mm-hm. We just arrived." Leiden nodded, feeling a little awkward.
"Then, you've come to the right place. Mamy's is the best restaurant in Chaos City. You won't be able to get the delicacies here anywhere else," Harrison said with a chuckle.
"Yes." Leiden nodded, and rubbed his hands together under the table. He did not know how to continue the conversation.
Gjergj glanced at the father and son, and changed the topic. "Mr. Mak stood us up for a day, and then came out with two new dishes. That's really amazing. We have to try this mutton soup in the morning. Let's see what Mr. Mak can do with this mutton soup."
"I've tried roast mutton before. There's a mutton restaurant in the west of the city that's not bad. However, I wonder if Mr. Mak can get rid of the rank odor in this mutton soup. Otherwise, it won't be very friendly," Harrison said with a smile.
"If he can't even do that, Mr. Mak wouldn't have come out with this mutton soup. Don't you have that much confidence?" Gjergj said, not worried at all.
Leiden and his son pricked up their ears to eavesdrop on their conversation. They were even more curious about this Boss Mag. What kind of culinary skills did he have to make this group of big bosses line up early in the morning despite the cold?
Muir flipped open the menu and took a look at the prices on it. He couldn't help but gasp.
Leiden also glanced at it, and his eyes immediately widened. The whole page of zeros on the menu dazzled him. Even the cheapest tofu pudding cost 200 copper coins per bowl.
Meanwhile, mutton soup cost 500 copper coins per bowl, and mutton skewers cost 100 copper coins per skewer, but they were not available in the morning.
He did a quick calculation. The 1,000 copper coins in his pocket were not even enough for him and Moore to eat two bowls of Yangzhou fried rice.
Moore looked up at Leiden, and his throat moved subconsciously. He suddenly regretted bringing his father into this restaurant. This would put them in a difficult situation.
"What would you like to order?" Yabemiya asked with a smile as she came to their table.
"Erm …" Leiden stared at the menu in front of him, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He hesitated for a while, and said, "We … want a sweet tofu pudding."
"Alright, a sweet tofu pudding. Please wait for a moment." Mia nodded with a smile, and turned to look at Harrison and Gjergj.
Harrison glanced at Leiden and his son, and said with a smile, "We want four bowls of mutton soup, and I want a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice. I think this will go well together."
"Then I'll have a savory tofu pudding and youtiao," Gjergj said.
"Alright, please wait for a moment." Mia nodded with a smile, and walked to the next table.
