Lunch ended with everyone ordering another bowl. The sour, sweet, salty, and spicy eggplant with garlic sauce was well received by everyone.
Meg was naturally very satisfied with this.
This was the first dish that he had truly learned on his own. The sense of accomplishment was indescribable.
"Welcome to Mamy's."
Meg opened the restaurant's door and smiled at the customers lining up at the entrance.
The customers entered the restaurant one after another, greeted Meg, and chose their favorite seats.
"Mr. Mak, is this new dish, eggplant with garlic sauce, made with fish?" Harrison asked Meg curiously as he entered.
Many customers looked at Meg curiously. Every time a new dish was released, it was the most interesting moment.
"No, this is a vegetarian dish." Meg shook his head with a smile. He did not pretend to be mysterious.
"It's a vegetarian dish? Is it really made with eggplant? "
"Oh! Eggplant is the food that I hate the most! It's so soft, it's so scary! "
"I hate the taste of eggplant, too, but my neighbor loves it. He always asks me to eat at his place. It's …"
"Then your neighbor must be a forest troll."
"You even know that."
The customers started discussing when they heard that. However, most of them did not have a good impression of eggplant.
"Vegetarian dish? Eggplant? " Derrick, who had just sat down, looked at Meg and could not help but feel curious. Eggplant was also one of the foods that he hated. Whether it was the terrible texture or the smell that was difficult to get rid of, it was enough to make him stay away.
However, this restaurant owner said that this was a vegetarian dish, and it could be the only vegetarian dish in this restaurant. Since they were here, regardless of their preferences, it was basic professional etiquette to try it.
Meg did not explain further. It was not strange that people did not like eggplant. Those who liked it would naturally enjoy it. He returned to the kitchen with a smile.
Of course, the main reason was that they had not tried eggplant with garlic sauce yet.
Otherwise, they would definitely fall in love with eggplant.
The customers began to order. Due to their resistance to the taste of eggplant, not many customers chose to order eggplant with garlic sauce. Of course, more customers were hesitating between ordering and not ordering, waiting for the real warriors to try it first.
Derrick looked around the restaurant, and his first impression was that it was comfortable. Whether it was the lighting in the restaurant, the decorations of the tables and chairs, or the dense green plants hanging on the railings, everything made him feel comfortable and relaxed.
After careful observation, he could feel the cleanliness of the dining hall. There was not a single speck of dust. Even the cracks of the tables, which were difficult to clean, did not have the slightest bit of dirt. There should be a professional mage who cleaned the place to achieve such a level of cleanliness.
However, what made him a little uncomfortable was the fact that he was sharing a table. He looked at the Orc sitting opposite him and the Wolf-Headed Devil sitting beside him. His face was a little guarded, and he felt a little nervous.
Having lived in Chaos City for a period of time, he naturally knew that Chaos City was a city where many races lived together. However, he was used to living in Rodu, so he was more or less guarded against other races. Furthermore, sitting at the same table with a devil and an orc was an experience he had never had before, so he felt a little uncomfortable.
Even the most basic racial segregation is not done. The restaurant's dining environment can only be rated one star at most. Sitting at the same table with an orc and a devil, even if there are delicacies in front of me, I won't be able to enjoy it wholeheartedly, Derrick thought to himself. Derrick thought to himself. His anticipation for the Eggplant with Garlic Sauce was completely gone. He just wanted to taste it and leave immediately.
"Sir, what do you want to order?"
Yabemiya came to Derrick with a smile.
"Give me a moment. Let me see." Derrick took the menu and flipped it open. All the delicacies with pictures on them came into view. Even a vegetarian like him could not help but salivate when he saw those colorful dishes.
However, his gaze quickly skipped over the meat dishes, and landed on the snack section. The sweet tofu pudding and the savory tofu pudding were different. The porcelain bowl was filled with white tofu pudding, while the savory tofu pudding was covered with some small side dishes. Meanwhile, the sweet tofu pudding should have been drizzled with golden-red syrup. They all looked very tempting.
After hesitating for a while, Derrick still chose the sweet tofu pudding.
Then, he flipped the menu to a page, and looked at the only dish in the vegetarian section — eggplant with garlic sauce.
In the picture, there were two fish on a long plate. The golden-red syrup was drizzled over them. No matter how one looked at it, they looked like two fish. There was no eggplant at all.
The price of a serving was 400 copper coins. At the same time, it was stated that a bowl of rice was 50 copper coins. Refills were not allowed.
Derrick stared at the picture for a while before looking up at Yabemiya. "Are you sure this is a vegetarian dish?"
"Yes, this is a vegetarian dish. There are no meat dishes." Yabemiya nodded. No customer had ordered the eggplant with garlic sauce before. She almost couldn't help but tell them how delicious the eggplant with garlic sauce was. It would be a pity to miss it. She wondered if this customer would be the first to order the eggplant with garlic sauce.
After receiving Yabemiya's confirmation, Derrick closed the menu and said, "I'd like a sweet tofu pudding, a eggplant with garlic sauce, and a bowl of rice."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Yabemiya's eyes lit up. Finally, a customer ordered the eggplant with garlic sauce. According to past experience, this meant that other customers would follow suit soon.
"Wow, bro, you even eat eggplant. You're a scary person." The werewolf sitting beside him looked at Derrick in horror.
"You're a true warrior." The orc sitting opposite him also gave him a thumbs-up.
"I'm curious if Mr. Mak's eggplant will become another delicacy. Bro, I'll rely on you to test the poison," the young man sitting diagonally across from him said with a smile.
"Okay." Derrick nodded his head awkwardly. The two demons and orcs were different from the ferocious image he had in mind. Instead, he could feel the friendliness they exuded. He didn't expect to become a warrior just by ordering eggplant with garlic sauce.
"Boss, a customer ordered the eggplant with garlic sauce," Yabemiya said excitedly as she returned to the kitchen.
"Roger that." Meg nodded. He took an eggplant from the shelf at the side. It was longer than a normal eggplant, but shorter and fatter than a long eggplant. He cut it in half like a fish that was cut in half. He flipped the kitchen knife in his hand, and a thin layer of eggplant skin was peeled off. Between the movements of the knife, the two slices of eggplant became fish. The crisscrossing knife cut thin scales on the eggplant and went deep into the eggplant, but didn't sever it.
Two pots were heated at the same time. After half of the oil was heated, he placed the eggplant into the pot with the most oil and fried it. In the other pot, he added some oil, minced garlic, ginger, pickled pepper, and a spoonful of the secret bean paste. After stir-frying, he added the red oil. He then added sugar, vinegar, and a small amount of starch to make the fish sauce.
The eggplant that was fried until its skin was slightly golden was placed on a plate. The boiling hot and thick fish sauce was poured over the eggplant.
Sizzle!
There was a soft sound.
A serving of eggplant with garlic sauce that was sour, sweet, salty, and spicy with all flavors was ready!
