The warmth nourished the World Tree in her body. Xixi could clearly feel the connection that had been severed for 30 years being reestablished.
Even though it was very weak and fragile, as if it would die in an instant, it was as if a little life was being reborn in her body. It reminded her of the child in her womb all those years ago, and she felt a trace of happiness in her heart.
The World Tree had been born in her body all those years ago. It had accompanied her for decades like a child. Later on, when she was severely injured and on the verge of death, it was the World Tree that had taken the initiative to transfer all of its source of life into her body and saved her life.
Now, this child had come back to life. To her, this was a very special feeling. The gap in the depths of her heart was also slowly healing as the World Tree recovered.
Lu Lu sat across from her and watched quietly. She picked up her chopsticks and put food in Xixi's bowl from time to time. When she finished eating, she would give her a bowl of rice. However, she didn't eat anything herself.
"Lu Lu, you should eat too. There's a lot of rice anyway," Xixi said to Lu Lu with her mouth full.
"It's okay. You eat first. I'm not hungry. Eat more. It's good for your body." Lu Lu shook her head with a smile. She looked toward the kitchen and watched Meg's busy figure. She sighed with emotion. "This owner is really amazing. He can make such a delicious dish with such miraculous effects. If the World Tree can grow by eating Braised Chicken and Rice, then when we have children in the future, we can bring them here to eat Braised Chicken and Rice every day. Their cultivation and growth speed will definitely increase a lot."
"Yeah, it's so delicious. And I feel warm all over after eating it. It's super comfortable. I think I can eat ten more bowls!" Xixi swallowed the rice in her mouth and said happily. Then, she lowered her head and continued to eat happily.
Lu Lu looked at the smile on Xixi's face. She turned around and looked out of the restaurant with vigilance and worry. Those guys … She didn't know when they would show up.
"Burp …"
Robert and Luther burped at the same time. They looked at the bowl in front of them, which looked as if it had been licked clean. Then, they looked up at each other with an awkward expression.
"My Lord, this … this sweet tofu pudding is so delicious! It's on the same level as roujiamo. I think these two dishes can be ranked first and second on the list. I can't stop eating them. 200 copper coins, 300 copper coins, it's so worth it!" All the guesses and suspicions he had before entering the restaurant had already been tossed to the back of his mind. However, his expression was somewhat awkward. After all, it took courage to slap yourself in the face.
However, as a man of integrity, after tasting the delicious roujiamo and tofu pudding, Luther couldn't go against his conscience and say that they weren't delicious. That was even more disgusting than slapping himself in the face.
Robert shook his head, and said, "I agree with your evaluation of roujiamo. However, I think the savory tofu pudding and braised chicken and rice are more suitable. Tofu pudding is such a delicate and soft delicacy, so of course it has to be savory."
"My Lord, that's because you haven't tasted this sweet tofu pudding before. If this tofu pudding was salty, I don't dare to imagine what kind of strange taste it would have." Luther didn't back down in the slightest this time. Instead, he argued with reason.
"You're wrong to say that. The tofu pudding itself has the fragrance and sweetness of soybeans. With the refreshing sauce, the chopped pickled mustard greens, and the tiny prawns, it's delicious. It's an absolute delicacy." Robert shook his head. However, he was a leader, after all, and naturally couldn't argue with Luther in the restaurant. He raised his hand with a smile, and said, "Alright, you eat your sweet tofu pudding, and I'll eat my savory tofu pudding. Don't argue in the restaurant."
Luther wasn't someone who didn't know when to back down, and he immediately backed down after hearing Robert's words. However, it appeared that he still wasn't going to back down just because of Robert's status.
"Waiter, the bill for two," Robert said.
"That's one braised chicken and rice, two tofu pudding, and one roujiamo. That's a total of … 1,550 copper coins." Amy made her way over with Ugly Duckling in her arms. She counted the bowls on the table, and extended her little hand toward Robert in a baby voice.
"Alright." Robert looked at Amy with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He pulled out a dragon coin, five gold coins, and five coins from his wallet, and placed them in her little hand. He didn't think that not only did this little girl know how to eat, but she was also very good at math at such a young age. She was able to calculate the price in such a short time. Even the average adult wouldn't be as fast as her.
"Mm-hm." Amy nodded. She put Ugly Duckling down on the ground, and walked over to the counter with the money in her hands. 10 coins was a lot for her.
Just as Robert was about to stand up, he flipped through the menu beside him. He suddenly discovered that there were many words written on the back of the menu, and an intrigued look appeared on his face.
There were a series of rules listed on the back of the menu: 1. Loud noises are strictly prohibited in the restaurant;
2. Cash is strictly prohibited in the restaurant; credit is strictly prohibited;
3. Fighting and threatening the owner and employees are strictly prohibited in the restaurant. Violators of this rule will be blacklisted and banned from the restaurant forever …
All of the rules were written on the back of the menu in gilded handwriting, and his eyes lit up at the sight of them.
It wasn't rare for restaurants to have rules, but most of the restaurants in the Aden Square had rules that prohibited certain races from entering or taking out alcohol. This was the first time that Robert had seen a restaurant like Amy's that had such strict rules for its customers.
A restaurant owner who dares to use half-race waitresses, a restaurant that dares to set its own requirements for its customers, and a chef who can cook extremely tasteless food that has body conditioning effects. A restaurant like this should rank at the top of the Aden Square food competition rankings. Robert put down the menu in his hand and looked at Meg, who was busy in the kitchen. He stood up and walked out of the door. After exiting the restaurant, he stopped and turned back to look at Amy's with a faint smile on his face, and said, "Luther, wouldn't it be very interesting if a restaurant that doesn't belong to the Aden Chamber of Commerce one day occupies the top five spots on the Aden Square food competition rankings?"
Luther also looked at Amy's signboard with a serious expression, and said, "If such delicious food can't even rank in the top five, then I feel like our Aden Square food competition rankings have lost all credibility."
"That's right. The most important thing for customers to choose a restaurant based on the Aden Square food competition rankings is credibility, and we're losing that right now." Robert nodded with a serious expression. He withdrew his gaze from the restaurant, and a faint smile appeared on his face as he said, "But things are different now. Amy's has appeared out of nowhere, and perhaps it's a way to break the impasse. Customers have sharp eyes, and if angry customers vote with their feet, perhaps the association will have to undergo a new round of reforms. A war with the Aden Chamber of Commerce might be a sharp knife."
