When the last customer left, it was already 1: 35. There were customers who wanted to order more, but Meg politely declined. Opening hours were over, so of course they should rest. Amy and he were still hungry.
"Father, we sold 24 plates of Yangzhou fried rice at noon, and got 10 dragon coins and 44 gold coins. That's great! So much money!" Amy clapped her little hands happily when she saw Mag, who had just closed the door, come back, her eyes sparkling.
"24 plates?" Mag was a little surprised when he heard that. Although he had been making fried rice nonstop since the opening of the restaurant at noon, he was still a little surprised that 24 servings were sold.
Of course, what made him even happier was that the lack of customers in the restaurant had finally broken. The customers he served at noon would probably come again in the evening, and if they would spread the news of the delicious food like they did in Mobai, there might be even more customers in the evening.
Meg calculated in his mind. In less than 10 days, he would be able to collect 3,000 gold coins to complete the mission, and he wouldn't have to worry about being disabled by the system again. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at Amy, who was happily counting the gold coins, he said with a smile, "Amy did a great job today. I'm going to make rainbow fried rice for you. You should be hungry."
"Yes, yes. My stomach is flat from hunger." Amy pursed her lips, touched her stomach, and nodded pitifully.
"Just a moment." Meg patted Amy's head, feeling sorry for her. He quickly walked to the kitchen, and soon came out with a plate of fragrant Yangzhou fried rice.
Amy ran to wash her hands, dried them, and sat on the chair. She scooped up a big spoonful of fried rice, looked up at Meg, and said, "Father has been busy. You must be hungrier than me, so I want you to eat first."
"Okay." Mag looked at Amy's serious little face and felt warm in his heart. He bent over and ate that mouthful of fried rice with a smile. He nodded, and said, "That's delicious, Amy. I'll make another one."
"Okay." Amy nodded obediently. She picked up the spoon to feed herself and ate happily.
After lunch, Meg carefully cleaned the restaurant. He wiped every table with dry and wet towels to make sure there were no oil stains. Then he coaxed Amy, who was squatting behind the counter and talking to Big Egg, to take a nap, and he also took a nap.
Mag and Amy had dinner in advance before opening the restaurant. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to eat until after 9 pm, which would be too late.
Mobai, who was next to the restaurant, was the first to line. Haga and Habeng were almost there when the restaurant opened, and soon, Conti, who was riding a black donkey.
Habeng, who was at daggers drawn at noon, took the initiative to nod at Conti. He looked at Conti and pondered for a while. Then he lowered his voice and said, "I think you might be able to slay a dragon. I heard that Meg Alex, the most powerful human knight, disdained to duel with others except on the battlefield. Are you paying tribute to him?"
"Yes, he is my idol and my goal. One day, I will become a dragon slayer like him." Conti nodded with a smile, his eyes filled with fanaticism.
"Young man, I've heard this from at least 50 young knights who came to buy swords in the shop. If you really want to slay a dragon and not be eaten by one, you'd better practice your swordsmanship and get a decent mount. Meg Alex didn't ride a black donkey to slay a dragon," Mobai said with a smile.
"Blackie has been with me for many years. He's an old friend." Conti shook his head with a smile. "I'm going to Twin Towers Town in a month. I heard that the evil red dragon that attacked Twin Towers Town many times is active again. I want to go and try my luck …"
Meg was making fried rice in the kitchen, listening to the people outside talking about his legend. He felt that although he was no longer in the world of martial arts, his legend was still being told.
Strictly speaking, that was his predecessor, but because their souls and memories had been merged in some aspects, it was not wrong to say that those experiences were his.
His mount was indeed not a black donkey, but a griffin, the only purple-striped griffin in the Roth Empire.
As Meg expected, the restaurant was much livelier at night than at noon. The customers who had been there at noon brought new customers, and the passersby were attracted by the restaurant's appearance. They couldn't help but order a helping of food when they saw others enjoying it.
"Boss, I want another helping!"
"I'm sorry. Today's opening hours are over. Please come back tomorrow." Meg saw the last customer out with a smile. He closed the door and let out a long sigh of relief. The opening hours were a bit too long.
"Father, guess how many plates of rainbow fried rice we sold tonight?" Amy asked Meg.
"Hmm … 40?" Meg guessed after thinking for a while.
Amy shook her head. She grabbed a handful of dragon coins excitedly. "No, it's 45 plates. We got 20 dragon coins and 70 gold coins in total."
"Then we sold 71 plates of Yangzhou fried rice today. That's very good." Meg also smiled happily. Today's turnover was 426 gold coins. After deducting the cost, they made at least 213 gold coins.
"Yes." Amy nodded. She looked at Meg doubtfully and expectantly and asked, "But Father, your rainbow fried rice is so delicious. Other dishes must be delicious too. Why only rainbow fried rice?"
Meg was stunned. Looking at Amy's expression, he quickly understood what she was thinking. She probably wanted to eat something other than Yangzhou fried rice.
Speaking of which, although this Yangzhou fried rice was delicious, it was too monotonous for Meg to eat three meals a day. Amy probably had the same feeling.
"Maybe not in the next two days." Looking at Amy's expectant expression, Meg felt a little helpless. The new roujiamo could only be unlocked after completing the task of buying ingredients for 3,000 gold coins. At the current speed, it would take at least six more days.
"Okay." Amy was a little disappointed.
"2,500 gold coins … Where should I get them?" Meg looked at Amy and thought to himself. This was a huge sum of 250,000 copper coins. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "By the way, System, can I do crowdfunding for the new roujiamo?"
"Host, please take the task seriously. Complete the task strictly according to the normal method and procedure, and steadily move toward the goal of becoming the God of Cookery!" the System's serious voice sounded.
"Read the task for me again," Meg said calmly.
"Task: Host needs to buy ingredients for 3,000 gold coins in 10 days. Completion of the task will unlock the new recipe, la zhi roujiamo. Failure of the task will reduce your physical strength by 0.5."
