"800 copper coins? That's enough for four bowls of tofu pudding! It's a little expensive, "a young woman said in a low voice.
"That's right. The prices of the previous two dishes have been decreasing. I thought that the price of this new dish would be lower. I secretly saved 500 copper coins and prepared to try this new dish. I didn't expect that it wouldn't be enough at all." A young man in short combat attire sighed.
"Mr. Mak's tricks aren't something normal people like us can understand. It's not that I don't want to spend 800 copper coins, but I should at least see if it's worth the price." Harrison pulled out a chair and sat down. This time, he wasn't in a hurry to order.
The faint aroma of chicken soup wafted out of the kitchen, causing one's imagination to run wild. However, since it was 800 copper coins per serving, there were quite a few people who ordered other dishes. No one had ordered the braised chicken and rice yet.
"Boss, I'll try the braised chicken and rice," Carl said to Meg as he pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Sure, please wait a moment." Meg nodded with a smile. He nodded encouragingly at Sally and walked quickly to the kitchen.
"Good luck, don't be nervous. I'll help you," Yabemiya said to Sally in a low voice. She smiled and began to help customers order.
"Old Mr. Carl, you're really generous. 800 copper coins for a braised chicken and you ordered it just like that," Jimmy said as he looked at Carl. He was also a loyal fan of Karl's. His family owned a small shop, and his shop was right in front of the peace badge. He had grown up in the Aden Square, and he had always been fascinated by Karl's stories.
Everyone was also looking at Carl with great interest. Those who wanted to order weren't in a hurry. After all, 800 copper coins was enough for a plate of Yangzhou fried rice and a bowl of tofu pudding.
"I have faith in Boss Mag's culinary skills. If he dares to bid 800 copper coins without any real skills, then he'll be ruining his own reputation," Karl said nonchalantly. He wasn't worried at all.
"You're right. Mr. Mak has never disappointed us." Jimmy nodded in agreement. However, he was still helping out at his family's restaurant and could only earn a few thousand yuan a month. He couldn't bear to order the braised chicken and rice that cost 800 yuan a plate.
Meg wasn't in a hurry at all. After all, he could only make three pots of Braised Chicken and Rice in the morning, and each pot had sixteen servings. With how delicious the braised chicken was, it wouldn't be long before it was sold out.
After all, most customers who could afford a plate of Yangzhou fried rice at 600 copper coins wouldn't mind spending an extra 200 copper coins on a plate of Braised Chicken and Rice. Most of them were just watching because they didn't want to waste their money.
Everyone took their seats, and some of them started gossiping in low voices. Those who were bored could enjoy the beautiful gestures of Yabemiya and Sally when they served their guests. Now, the two parties had reached a tacit agreement to not bring their quarrel into the restaurant, and to try their best to finish it outside the restaurant. That way, everyone would feel more comfortable while eating.
The customers who ordered the tofu pudding and roujiamos were quickly served. Many people ordered the tofu pudding and waited for Karl's braised chicken and rice to arrive.
"Gjerj, do you think the braised chicken and rice will be delicious?" Harrison asked softly as he looked toward the kitchen.
"Of course I trust Mr. Mak's cooking. I heard that chicken soup is very nutritious, and Miranda's appetite and body have been getting better and better after eating Mr. Mak's Yangzhou fried rice. Her belly is also getting bigger and bigger, so I'm going to buy her some fire chicken to make chicken soup. If Mr. Mak's braised chicken and rice also has chicken soup, then I'll just buy it. If it's made by the cook at home, she'll probably stop eating it after a few bites." Gjerj nodded with a smile.
"I'm so envious of the relationship between you two. I can't help but want to find a wife," Harrison said with a tinge of jealousy. He had only come out for a meal, but he was suddenly presented with a mouthful of dog food, and he couldn't refuse it.
Just as they were talking, Yabemiya walked out of the kitchen with a tray in his hands. There was a brown casserole bowl and a bowl of rice on the tray, and he quickly made his way over to Karl's table.
The rich aroma of the mushroom chicken soup wafted past everyone, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the bowl.
"This chicken soup smells so good!"
"Yeah, the chicken soup I make at home isn't as fragrant, but I can still smell it."
"It's not just the chicken; there seems to be a special aroma in there as well. It's so intoxicating."
Everyone couldn't help but gasp in amazement as they stared at the bowl of braised chicken and rice in Yabemiya's hands.
"Here's your braised chicken and rice." Yabemiya walked over to Karl's table, and placed the braised chicken and rice on the tray in front of him with a smile.
Karl's attention was completely drawn to the braised chicken in front of him. There was a layer of golden chicken cubes and all kinds of side dishes, and a spoonful of thick, golden-red chicken soup. The rich and alluring aroma wafted toward him, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and take a deep breath.
"Is this shiitake mushroom?" Karl's gaze was fixed on the shredded shiitake mushroom in the bowl, and he was a little surprised.
"Shiitake mushroom?" All of the customers were perplexed. They clearly didn't know what it was.
"Master Karl, what is this shiitake mushroom?" Jimmy asked curiously.
"Shiitake mushroom is a precious ingredient that can only be found by chance. It has a smooth texture, and it's delicious. I've only eaten it once in The Wind Forest, and I still can't forget that delicious taste to this day. After that, I asked a lot of people to purchase it from the elven race, but I was only able to buy one or two every once in a while. I could only tear off some of them and add them to the soup when I was boiling it, and I spent at least 100 gold coins on each one. " Karl's eyes lit up as he looked into the bowl. He picked up a shredded shiitake with his chopsticks, and praised, "They were both sent here after being dried, but the quality is completely different from this one. Furthermore, this rich aroma is far superior to what I've had before. It's definitely the best!"
"100 gold coins!"
Everyone couldn't help but draw a sharp intake of breath upon hearing this. Just who was this Master Karl? How could he spend so much money and manpower just to eat a small shiitake mushroom?
Of course, what was even more shocking to everyone was that Mr. Mak had just casually added the shredded shiitake mushroom into his new dish as a side dish, even though Karl had spent so much money to try it!
This was a shiitake mushroom that cost over 100 gold coins! Even though the shiitake mushroom in the bowl had been shredded into thin strips, there couldn't be more than one! Furthermore, according to Master Karl, this thing was simply priceless, let alone a few bottles of it!
Ordinary people couldn't even see it, let alone eat it.
In the kitchen, Meg's lips curled up slightly as he listened to Karl's words. This was the first customer who had recognized the shiitake mushroom. It seemed like he was also a glutton. However, he didn't expect shiitake mushrooms to be so precious in this world. If that was the case, the price was set too low.
