Meg wrote a new notice on the small blackboard at the door:
Today's new products: Stir-fried octopus tentacles, octopus balls!
Meg was suddenly thankful that the city lord's castle did not announce the details of the devil to the ordinary people. Otherwise, no one would be interested in his new products.
"Father, let's go back after breakfast. I've already informed the boss yesterday." Barbara happily led the Moon Nation's king and the group of people to the outside of the restaurant. She raised her hand to knock on the door and glanced at the conspicuous small blackboard hanging on the door.
“???”
Barbara and the group of people from the Moon Nation stared with their eyes wide open when they saw the two new dishes. Their expressions suddenly became a little indescribable.
"I … suddenly don't have much of an appetite. Why don't we skip breakfast?" Barbara smoothed her churning stomach. When she saw the octopus tentacles, she couldn't help but recall the octopus monster with countless terrifying tentacles in the dark cave.
"Alright, let's go back to the palace for breakfast." The king smiled and nodded. This boss was rather interesting to launch these two new products at such a time.
The rest of the powerhouses from the Moon Nation naturally had no objections. Although they could not forget the boss' culinary skills, the octopus monster had a great impact on them. Many of them even had nightmares last night.
Barbara rang the bell, and Mia opened the door to let them in.
"There's still 20 minutes before the opening ceremony. What would you like to eat?" Meg looked at Barbara and asked with a smile.
"Boss, we've decided not to have breakfast in the restaurant. We plan to go back earlier." Barbara's complexion recovered a lot, but she still felt that she could not eat for a while. She was flustered.
Meg glanced at Barbara, who had an unnatural expression, and guessed that she felt nauseous because of the two new dishes. He couldn't help but find it funny.
"Mr. Meg, thank you for taking care of my daughter during this period of time. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you can accept it." King Kenneth stepped forward and took out a large chest that was half a person's height from the king's scepter, placing it in front of Meg.
Meg glanced at the wooden box that could fit a young lady. The edges were wrapped in gold, and the surface was inlaid with large and small gems. Whether it was gold or something more valuable, it was obviously a large sum of money.
"There's no need to be so polite, Your Majesty. Princess Barbara is a very exceptional talent. Even if she doesn't stay in the restaurant, I'm sure she'll be able to live a very good life on the Norland Continent," Meg said with a vibrant smile.
Barbara, who had heard Meg's flattery for the first time, raised her chin proudly. "Of course, I'm the princess of the Moon Nation."
Kenneth smiled a little dotingly.
"If you're in a hurry to return to the Moon Nation, why don't you pack some food to bring back? Breakfast is basically ready." After receiving such a large chest of treasures, Meg naturally couldn't let them go back empty-handed. Otherwise, it would seem that the people of the Norland Continent were too stingy.
Barbara, who didn't have much of an appetite, heard that, and her eyes lit up. She looked at Meg, and asked, "Boss, is tofu pudding okay too? I want to bring some back for my mother. "
According to the rules, tofu pudding couldn't be taken out.
Meg frowned and pondered for a while before asking, "How long will this teleportation take? After the teleportation, how long will it take for you to send the tofu pudding to your mother? "
Barbara pondered for a while, and said, "The teleportation only takes an instant. It will take about two minutes to run from the underground palace to my mother's bedroom."
"It will be delivered within three minutes, and it won't affect the taste. That's good too. I'll make an exception and pack a portion of tofu pudding for you." Meg nodded.
It wasn't that he was unreasonable usually. Firstly, there wasn't a lot of tofu pudding, and there wasn't enough for them to eat at a restaurant. Secondly, the tofu pudding couldn't be shaken, and would break into pieces easily. Once it turned cold, the taste and texture would plummet. It was on a completely different level from eating at a restaurant.
"That's great! Then I'll have a portion of sweet tofu pudding! " Barbara said happily. She didn't expect the boss, who always talked about the rules, would actually agree to this request.
Now that she was in a good mood, Barbara felt a little hungry. She thought about how she wouldn't be able to eat Mamy's delicacies for a while after returning to the Moon Nation, so she said, "I'll have a portion of soy milk and two youtiao."
Following that, King Kenneth and the powerhouses of the Moon Nation also ordered their breakfast under Barbara's guidance.
Meg packed their food into boxes one by one. Then, the group of people carried their breakfast bags, and stood in the teleportation portal in the middle of the restaurant.
"Goodbye, everyone. I'll be back soon." Barbara waved at everyone.
"Big Sister Barbara, remember to bring a rabbit back. Father said that the rabbit on the moon is super delicious," Amy called out loudly.
"Okay …"
Barbara's voice dragged out the last syllable, and it disappeared along with a flash of white light.
Everyone waved at the air, and then started the preparation work for the morning business.
Meg, on the other hand, carried the heavy box with both hands, and slowly went upstairs to the second floor.
The box was very heavy, about 500 to 600 kilograms.
This was naturally nothing to Meg, but in order to maintain his image as a pretty boy, he could only appear to have some difficulty.
When he reached the study on the second floor, Meg lifted the lid of the wooden box.
Just as he lifted a corner, a bright light had already lit up the entire room.
Meg hurriedly put the lid back down, turned around, locked the door, and drew the curtains. Only then did he lift the lid of the wooden box with ease.
"Hiss —"
A whole box of glowing gemstones appeared in front of Meg's eyes. Rubies, emeralds, sapphires, opals, super diamonds …
"This employee is really a profitable investment." Meg picked up a bright sapphire and tossed it in his hand. Any gemstone here could be sold for the price of a million copper coins, and there were about 400 to 500 such gemstones in the box.
"As expected of the King, such a small gift is so interesting." Meg casually picked up two gemstones in his hand, then closed the lid. He walked around the study a few times, then finally moved the bookshelf away, dug a small hole in the wall behind, and then carefully hid the two gemstones inside.
He moved the bookshelf back to its original position, then looked around to make sure that there were no traces left behind. He opened the door with a bright smile and went downstairs.
…
"Wow, Mr. Mak is going to launch two new dishes today!"
"Two days of rest, two new dishes, feel like we're making a killing?"
"What's an octopus? What's an octopus tentacle? Who can explain this to me? "
"This octopus is a kind of aquatic product in the sea. It's like a flat winter melon, and its stomach is full of tail-like tentacles. It's a kind of aquatic product commonly seen by the sea, but usually, no one eats it."
At the entrance of the restaurant, the customers lined up to look at the notice hanging on the door, and were having a heated discussion.
