After putting Amy and Ugly Duckling on the bed and tucking them in, Meg went downstairs to prepare the ingredients for the evening. When he passed by the counter, he put the music box in the cupboard. It was a great tool for lulling little girls to sleep.
Meg was going to make 128 roujiamos tonight. It would take him two hours to knead the dough, which was why Meg was eager to improve his strength. If he could improve his strength by 0.5, the kneading time would be reduced by at least half.
As he kneaded the dough, Meg began to think about his next plan. Although he and Amy were living a happy and warm life, as a father, he wanted to make sure his daughter could live a better life.
The restaurant was the foundation of his survival now and in the future. It could make him earn money as well as others' recognition and respect, which made him very happy.
The restaurant was slowly getting on track, and new customers were joining every day. Although it wasn't full yet, it was enough for him to keep busy.
His next goal was to sell 1,000 roujiamos and then unlock the tofu pudding to add one more dish to the menu. According to his current progress, he should be able to finish the task in two days.
At the thought of the tofu pudding, Meg felt a little hungry. Even kneading the dough felt a lot more energetic.
"Father …" After Meg finished making the dough, Amy came downstairs with Ugly Duckling in her arms. She stood at the door and called out. Ugly Duckling grabbed her little skirt and slid down by itself.
Although it had only been a few days since it was born, the little guy's vitality was quite good. It seemed to have endless energy after waking up. It jumped left and right in the kitchen and played very happily by itself.
"Sit down for a while. I'll get you a glass of water." Meg looked back at Amy with a smile. When he was about to get the glass of water, Ugly Duckling suddenly bumped into his foot and froze. It looked up at Meg in a daze, and then fell back stiffly. It lay on all fours, motionless. It looked back at Amy with its watery eyes full of grievance.
"Is … Is this a scam?" Mag couldn't help but chuckle when he saw that. This little fellow was such a drama queen. Instead of being a boss, he started his acting career.
Amy looked at Ugly Duckling with a serious expression, and said, "Ugly Duckling, I saw you bump into Father's foot. If you want to lie down, then lie down. If you get dirty, then I won't hold you anymore."
"Meow ~" Ugly Duckling got up with a start and gave Meg a resentful look. It trotted to Amy's feet and rubbed against her calf.
Meg poured a glass of water for Amy, and she went to play with the music box with Ugly Duckling. She must have inherited her mother's talent for music. She could hum after listening to the music a few times. It seemed that she would be able to learn it in a couple of days. Her soft voice sounded very cute.
Meg looked at the time. It was only half-past four, but there were already customers walking back and forth outside the restaurant. They looked into the restaurant from time to time, trying to find Meg.
People knocked on the door from time to time, but Meg chose to ignore them. Opening hours hadn't started yet, and he wanted to rest for a while after kneading the dough. Besides, he had to cook dinner for himself later.
There was already a line at the door. There were about seven or eight people waiting. Some were quite calm, while others were a little anxious.
"Why isn't the door open yet? I've been hungry since noon, so I came here early to eat roujiamo. " A young man paced back and forth in front of the door. He wanted to knock on the door, but he drew back his hand halfway. Someone had already knocked twice, but there was no response from inside.
Crassus, who was standing in the line, said slowly, "Don't worry. Mr. Mak is a punctual person. If he says the door opens at five, he won't open it one minute earlier. If he says the door closes at nine, he won't open it one minute later. Young man, be patient and wait in line."
Crassus was smiling broadly, but his tone was a little bitter. He was a 10th-tier magic caster, but now he had to wait in line at the door of a restaurant every day. If this spread back to Luo City, it would be big news.
If the Yangzhou fried rice wasn't so delicious, and if that little girl's talent hadn't been discovered yet, this would never happen, Crassus thought to himself. Luckily, he hadn't come out for more than a decade. Even in Chaos City, few people could recognize him, so he didn't lose all his face.
"It's not a big deal to come early to eat Mr. Mak's roujiamo. You won't be able to eat it in another restaurant." Harrison, who was standing in the back, chuckled. He had made an appointment with his buddies to come in the evening, but they all had something to do. He also had something to do in the evening, so he came early to line up. It wouldn't be too late to leave after eating.
"Harrison, why are you here so early? Where are the others? " A horse-drawn carriage stopped, and Gjerj, who had just gotten off, came over. He looked at Harrison in surprise.
"They all have something to do, so they can't come tonight. I have something to do at home, too, so I came early to eat before going back," Harrison explained. Then he looked at Gjerj and asked curiously, "How was the Yangzhou fried rice I brought back for your wife at noon?"
"Here's the dragon coin from noon." Gjerj took out a dragon coin and handed it to Harrison. He smiled and said, "She's more than satisfied. She hasn't eaten anything for days, and she finished the entire plate of Yangzhou fried rice without leaving a single grain of rice behind. She even said that it wasn't enough, so she asked me to buy another plate for her tonight. From now on, she'll have this for all three meals a day."
"That's all thanks to Boss Mag. You're going to be financially liberated again, right?" Harrison accepted the money without any hesitation, and patted Gjerj on the shoulder.
Gjerj nodded with a smile. "That's true. But I'm afraid I won't have time to drink and play with you for a while. I'll stay at home with my wife after I bring her food."
"Okay, I'll drink for you." Harrison nodded.
…
Meg rested for a while, and then made two plates of Yangzhou fried rice. At the same time, he put the baiji bread on the table.
During the meal, Ugly Duckling looked at them with puppy eyes. It looked so pitiful that Meg almost couldn't help but give it some Yangzhou fried rice and roujiamo. But before he could say anything, Amy teased it and made it turn its face away.
It was five o 'clock when Meg finished clearing the table. He opened the door and couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.
