Is the food in that restaurant really that good? But Uncle Robert is renowned for not being able to lie … Vivian thought to herself as she eavesdropped on their conversation. She had heard from the servants that her father was back, so she came over to have lunch with him. However, she decided to eavesdrop on their conversation. That was something that she loved to do ever since she was a child. After all, nothing could be done to her even if she was caught.
Mamy's … Mamy … Hmm? Isn't that the restaurant that Luna mentioned before? I think she also said that the food in that restaurant is very good, and it's opened by the parent of one of her students. Vivian's eyes suddenly lit up as she recalled why that restaurant was so familiar. Luna had mentioned this restaurant the last time she came here.
Should I go and try it? But Father told me not to go out for the next few days … But if it really is as good as Uncle Robert says, then it would be a pity not to try it … A conflicted expression appeared on Vivian's face.
"Vivian, if you haven't eaten yet, then come in and eat. We've already talked, so there's nothing else to talk about." Michael's resigned voice sounded from inside the room.
"Ah … I've already eaten, so I won't disturb Father and Uncle Robert any longer. You can continue chatting, I'm just passing by …" Vivian hurriedly hurried away with a panicked expression.
"That little girl." Michael shook his head with a resigned smile, but at the same time, there was a hint of doting in his eyes.
Robert also looked out the window with a smile on his face. However, he hesitated momentarily as he looked at Michael, and asked, "City Lord, Young Mistress' illness …"
"It's still the same, and it seems to be getting worse. She has to use fire magic to dispel the chill every night before she can fall asleep." Michael's smile faded as he shook his head.
"Young Mistress is very kind, so she'll definitely be fine." Robert's expression was also rather dejected. Back when he was working at the city lord's castle, Vivian would come to play with him from time to time. She was a very interesting little girl.
"I certainly hope so." Michael nodded in response. After a brief silence, he said, "Robert, I'm aware of what you're saying. You've also told me about the Catering Association's problems on several occasions. However, back when I accepted the Food Association into the city lord's castle, I promised Warren that I wouldn't interfere with the normal operations of the Catering Association. However, Warren made a promise to me that he wouldn't use public resources for personal gain, so I'll be sending people to investigate this matter. If I can confirm that Warren has indeed embezzled money and turned the entire Catering Association into something that serves certain restaurants, then I definitely won't let him off the hook. "
"But City Lord, that restaurant really does have a lot of potential. If President Warren continues to target it after removing that restaurant from the rankings, then it's very likely that it won't be able to continue operating in the Aden Square. Incidents like that have happened in the past, so …" Robert was a little anxious.
"Robert, my lovers from Issen Castle and their neighbors, the orcs, are planning to hold a meeting in Chaos City to discuss the border issue. The forest trolls and goblins have engaged in another battle over an iron mine, and the forest trolls claim that the goblins have dug into their territory, while the goblins claim that the mine is in their territory, so it's not considered trespassing unless it's dug into the ground. Recently, the demons seem to have found a way to reach the dragon island in the Sea of Darkness, and the dragon island is currently discussing whether to fill up the Sea of Darkness … Hence, I've really been a little busy recently. This restaurant may be very exceptional, but I won't be able to go there to see how exceptional it is for the time being. I'll continue to follow up on the Catering Association's matters, so you can go back after you've eaten." Michael put down his empty bowl before rising to his feet.
Robert looked on as the door slowly closed, and fell silent. He finished his bowl of rice before also rising to his feet and departing.
He had worked in the city lord's castle for over 10 years, so he was well aware of how much effort the city lord had to expend to do all of these things. Even though none of these things had taken place on Chaos City's territory, all of the conflicts that took place on the Norland Continent would be reported back to Chaos City. If both sides didn't want a large-scale war to break out, then they would ask Chaos City to mediate between them.
Chaos City was like a neutral city that played the role of mediator, and had a unique status on the Norland Continent.
To Robert, Amy's was a restaurant that was worthy of his attention, but to the city lord, the fact that he was willing to listen to Robert speak so much during his meal and make a promise to the Catering Association was already the most he could do.
No matter how delicious a restaurant was, or how many powerful mages had tasted it, in the eyes of the real big shots, it was still not worth their attention. It was not something that was worth putting on the table.
…
After a long period of fruitless contemplation, Meg decided to give up for now. Instead, he asked internally, "System, due to unforeseen circumstances, I might not be able to complete this mission. However, I already reached number 21 on the rankings board yesterday, so does that mean I've completed the mission?"
"Host, please don't misinterpret the mission. This mission is to have a dish enter the top 30 of the Gourmet Cuisine Ranking and be printed on the Gourmet Cuisine Ranking next month. If the host's restaurant is disqualified, the mission will fail," the system said seriously, without any intention to negotiate.
"Alright, then I'll cook the grilled fish." Meg pursed his lips. The system was being stubborn, so it appeared that this mission was going to be a little difficult to complete. He placed the flour in his hands onto the chopping board, washed his hands, and made his way over to the fish tank.
"Boss, is today's new dish that beautiful fish?" Yabemiya stood at the entrance of the kitchen with a curious look on her face.
"That's right, that's the rainbow fish." Meg nodded with a smile. Amy had come up with a new name for the fish in the morning, and Meg felt that it sounded better than the rainbow-scaled grass carp.
"This fish is so beautiful, I'm sure it'll be delicious," Yabemiya said expectantly.
"Rainbow fish? What a nice name. " Sally also stood at the entrance of the kitchen and looked at the fish swimming happily in the fish tank. She couldn't bear to see such beautiful fish being slaughtered and served on the dining table.
"By the way, can you guys eat spicy food?" Meg turned around and asked the two of them.
"I don't care how spicy it is. I'm not even afraid of super spicy food," Yabemiya said as she raised her hand.
"I don't usually eat spicy food." Sally shook her head. Elves were very close to nature and rarely ate meat. Their diet also tended to be bland.
"In that case, let's have the medium spicy grilled fish today. It'll be too bland if it's slightly spicy." Meg nodded with a smile. Elves usually didn't eat spicy food because they didn't have anything good to eat. Meg was confident that he could make Sally fall in love with the taste of this grilled fish.
"Boss, let me help you with the fish. I'm very good at …" Sally rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen. However, she suddenly stopped mid-sentence with an incredulous expression on her face.
A rainbow fish was scooped out of the fish tank by Meg, and then completely slaughtered by Meg's knife. He carved out a series of intricate cuts on the fish's body in a fluid motion. What was supposed to be a crude act was made by Meg to appear elegant and refined.
