Compared to the commotion outside the restaurant, aside from Yabemiya, who was pacing back and forth in front of the counter with an anxious expression on her face, Amy's was completely silent. Ugly Duckling had already fallen asleep on the counter, and its tail was swaying from time to time.
After a while, Meg took a shower and changed into a clean set of chef's robes, then came downstairs with Amy, who had changed into a floral dress. He straightened his collar, and his ironed chef's robes were impeccably ironed, giving him a refreshing look.
After staying in the wilderness for an entire day, Meg's exhaustion was completely wiped away after a hot shower, and he was looking forward to the upcoming cooking competition.
The Ironhide Bull and the mutant Purple Golden Mink, Chiwil, and the others had helped him take care of them. He had only taken a piece of the mink's brain. The mercenary squad had many ways to maximize the value of these items, and all Meg had to do was wait at home for the money. This was clearly the best choice for him, and it was also a way for Chiwil and the others to express their gratitude toward Meg for gifting them an Ironhide Bull.
"Boss, are you really going to compete with him in roast meat? I don't think you've ever roasted meat before, right? "Yabemiya was a little anxious as she looked at Meg.
"Of course not, I just roasted meat this afternoon." Meg looked at the concerned Yabemiya with a smile. It seemed that she didn't have much confidence in him.
"Big Sister Mia, Father's roast meat is super, super delicious! Amy already had a taste of it this afternoon, and Father said that he's going to make even more delicious roast meat for us tonight. We even brought back a large piece of beef, "Amy chimed in with an expectant smile.
Yabemiya looked at the confident smile on Meg's face, as well as Amy's confident expression, and her nervousness was greatly alleviated. She murmured to herself, "That's right, Boss is the most talented chef in the world. There's nothing that he can't cook. Even if it's roast meat, he'll definitely be able to cook the best roast meat."
"I believe in you, Boss. What can I do for you, Mia?" Yabemiya asked as she looked at Meg with an energetic smile on her face.
"Well, I do need Mia's help with something. We're going to be having an outdoor competition soon, so we have to bring all of the kitchenware to the entrance of the restaurant." Meg and then strode into the restaurant.
…
"Why hasn't the boss of Mamy Restaurant come out yet? It's almost an hour, and he's' to his roast meat? "
"That's right, look at Ricky's Rotisserie. The roast meat has already been assembled, and they're starting to burn the charcoal. However, they've set up a few wooden planks around the roast meat. Is that to prevent others from stealing their cooking?"
"Roasting meat is a trade secret, so it's normal that they don't want others to see it. I wonder if Mr. Mak will do the same. If that's the case, then this outdoor competition won't be very entertaining."
"Don't be in such a hurry. Boss Mag is super punctual. He'll open the shop right on time, and he won't delay the opening for even a minute. There are still 15 minutes left."
As time passed, the onlookers outside the restaurant became more and more restless. Ricky's Rotisserie was almost ready, but Mamy's was completely silent, and its doors remained closed.
"Is this guy going to go back on his word?" Ricky stood in front of his roast meat and looked at Mamy's with a cold smile on his face. He wasn't worried at all. Both parties had already signed the agreement, and this was a legal matter in Chaos City. If Meg were to go back on his word now, then he would lose the competition, and everything that belonged to Mamy's would belong to him.
"This competition isn't on a very large scale, but it's attracted a lot of attention because of the outdoor competition. If it weren't for the fact that these two owners are putting on an act, then the winner of this competition would not only receive the winner's restaurant, but would also be able to attract even more attention." Hill sat in his horse-drawn carriage, and looked at the over 1,000 people who had already gathered outside Mamy's. This was quite a rare sight even in the Aden Square.
The owner of Mamy's is clearly a smart man. He chose to set the location of the competition in front of his own restaurant, and set the time to be one hour later. A faint smile appeared on Hill's face. She loved interacting with smart people, and she knew that this rising restaurant would soon meet the requirements to join the Aden Chamber of Commerce.
She had heard that he had a falling out with two board members of the Chamber of Commerce, but those two were still in the Bastie Prison on Geoffrey's side. If this owner cooperated, she wouldn't mind helping his restaurant join the Aden Chamber of Commerce.
The owner of Ducas Restaurant was on Geoffrey's side, so she needed a restaurant that could challenge Ducas Restaurant's status on her side. All of the established restaurants were already used to staying below Ducas Restaurant, so this new restaurant that was dominating the Aden Square food competition had piqued her interest. After looking at the crowd outside the restaurant, she was even more certain of her decision.
Hard work alone wasn't enough in business; one had to be smart as well. It was the same with opening a restaurant. Delicious food was common, but there was only one Ducas Restaurant. She had also seen this in Mamy's, so she was quite curious about what kind of person the owner of this restaurant was. Perhaps she would like to have a chat with him if she had the opportunity.
At this moment, the door of Mamy's opened with a creak. The noise outside the restaurant suddenly stopped, and everyone turned to look at the entrance.
The door slowly opened, and a little half-elf girl with a pair of cute pigtails jumped out. Her bright blue eyes looked at the crowd outside the restaurant, and a surprised expression appeared on her face. She pushed the door to the side, turned around, and shouted into the restaurant, "Father, there are so many people outside. Are they all waiting to eat the free barbecue skewers?"
"…"
The crowd became even quieter, and everyone had a strange expression on their faces. Most of them had thought that they would be chosen as a judge to eat the free barbecue skewers, but when their thoughts were exposed by a cute little girl, they felt as if their little secret had been seen through.
"No, they are here to see if the new dish is worth buying," Meg walked out of the door with a smile, and stepped aside to let Yabemiya, who was holding the metal grill, out.
"Just set it up there." Mag pointed at the empty space directly across from Ricky's Rotisserie's grill. He didn't think that there would be so many onlookers. He had chosen to hold the match in front of his restaurant for convenience, and had chosen to hold it in an hour as he didn't want to waste too much time on something as trivial as this. After all, he still had to open for business the next day.
However, it would be a lie to say that he didn't have any ulterior motives for setting up the competition. He had grown up in a merchant's household, so the mindset of a merchant was deeply ingrained in his heart.
