"This red braised pork is too delicious. No, I have to control myself. I've already gained 1.5 kilograms this month. If I continue to gain weight, I'll be 50 kilograms! " A young maiden looked at the three pieces of red braised pork left in her bowl. Her rice bowl was already empty. After hesitating for a long time, she finally raised her hand. "Please give me another bowl of rice."
"This has completely overturned all my expectations of pork. Even the roast suckling pig from Ducas Restaurant didn't give me such a pleasant surprise. It's fat but not greasy. It's sweet and soft to the extreme. It's simply too delicious!" exclaimed a middle-aged man as he put down the bowl that he had licked clean.
Avis listened to the customers' praises. If it was another restaurant, he might have thought that the boss had hired them, but after tasting that delicious red braised pork, he only felt that their praises were superficial and lacked strength.
Red braised pork, delicious!
Soon, the black pepper steak was served. Avis, who was still immersed in the red braised pork, fell into the delicious trap of the black pepper steak again.
"He's indeed the chef who won the best dish at the palace banquet. He deserves it, "Avis lamented as he turned to look at the signboard after coming out of Mamy's. He turned to leave. That was all for today. He was already a little full.
…
The customers' high praises for the red braised pork filled Meg with a sense of accomplishment. He felt that the hardship he suffered in the test field for the God of Cookery was nothing.
Bringing the best delicacies to the customers was indeed a blissful thing.
After the lunch service ended, Meg wrote two missing-person notices by hand, and then went to the Food Association and the city lord's castle respectively.
Soon, the missing-person notices appeared on the city lord's castle's bulletin board and the Delicious Cuisine Rankings board that afternoon.
The city lord's castle's bulletin board was a column that the residents of Chaos City paid a lot of attention to. Aden Square was the business district with the most traffic in Chaos City, so the eye-catching magic bulletin board in the middle of the square naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Suddenly, this missing-person notice became the topic of discussion on the streets of Chaos City. People who didn't know Mamy's well were more moved by the fact that the father never gave up even after being separated from his son for 25 years. Apart from feeling touched, they were also spreading the news.
A city-wide search was carried out quietly in Chaos City under the influence of the three missing-person notices.
…
The night deepened.
A nameless blacksmith in an alley in the north of the city still had a dim oil lamp lit.
A hunchbacked old blacksmith took off his dirty apron and wrapped himself in a cotton-padded jacket. He rubbed his hands and shouted, "Ha Da, pack up quickly. Master will bring you for a drink. It's so cold, you need a drink to sleep."
"Alright." A hoarse voice answered from inside. After a series of clanking sounds, a robust young man walked out of the blacksmith's shop. If it weren't for the fact that he was missing two fingers on his left hand and his right leg being lame, he would have been a rather handsome and sunny young man. Even though there were a few charcoal stains on his face, he still looked as bright as the sun when he grinned at the old blacksmith.
"Let's go, Master. It's cold today. You have to wear more." The young man called Ha Da wrapped his clothes around the old blacksmith. He was only wearing a thin autumn coat.
The old blacksmith slowly walked forward and calmly said, "I don't feel warm even if I wear more clothes. I probably won't be able to survive this year's winter. When I'm gone, you have to take good care of this shop. I only have this shop in my life. I'll be at ease if I leave it to you."
"Master …" Ha Da followed with a choked voice. Although he was lame, he didn't show it when he walked. His left leg was forward, and his right leg was forward quickly. If one didn't look closely, he didn't look much different from a normal person.
"Silly, what's there to be sad about? Humans will always die. Look at the king of the Roth Empire. He might not even live to my age. Am I proud?" the old blacksmith said with a carefree smile.
"Master, you were the one who picked me up back then. You gave me food to eat and taught me how to forge. You have to live for a few more years so that I can be filial to you …" Ha Da said with a choked voice.
"Back then, you were lucky to be able to escape from that place. On my way home, I happened to see you collapsed in front of my door. It was a world of ice and snow. You were such a young child. I couldn't just watch you freeze to death, so I picked you up and brought you back. I don't have any children. With you around all these years, I have a companion. Didn't you get the doctors to treat me when I fell sick a few times? You don't have to feel that you owe me anything. "The old blacksmith waved his hand.
Ha Da shook his head with tears in his eyes. "You were the one who taught me how to be a human and let me live again. Those people broke my legs and chopped off my fingers back then. If you didn't teach me how to live on my own, I might still be kneeling in some corner begging now. So, Master, I will never be able to repay what I owe you in this lifetime."
The old blacksmith stopped in his tracks. Without turning back, he said with a smile, "Silly child. When I'm gone, throw away everything in the house that should be thrown away. Tidy up properly and marry Rachel from the tailor's family. Have a few fat sons. She's a good girl, and can lead a good life. That's all I have for you. "
Ha Da's lips moved, but he still nodded in the end. "Alright."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go for a drink." The old blacksmith continued walking forward. At the entrance of the alley, there was an open-air stall that was still lit. Steam was rising from the pot, and the aroma of the mutton soup could be smelled from afar.
…
After Suede Fashion's trench coats were launched, it became popular in Chaos City again. Hundreds of trench coats were sold out in a day, and it started a trench coat trend among the nobles in Chaos City.
Meanwhile, Suede also became the clothing store that women talked about the most.
Clothing store. What a strange name.
In the past, the rich were all particular about custom-made clothes. In their eyes, only the poor would wear those crudely made clothes that didn't even fit.
But now, in order to get a piece of Suede Fashion, the rich ladies and young mistresses didn't care about the size anymore. They would be satisfied even if they could change it themselves!
Suede Fashion's clothing factory had been completely separated from the store. It was built in the east of the city. Due to the high demand, the tailor and his apprentices were already working in two shifts.
Because the salary was about twice that of custom-made clothes for others, and they didn't have to look at others' faces, nor did they have to make repeated changes. They also didn't have to worry about orders. As long as they did their jobs according to the drawings and requirements, they would be able to get a generous salary. Hence, the tailors were very enthusiastic.
Benjamin was originally an old tailor in the north of the city. He naturally didn't earn much by tailoring for the poor.
Previously, an old friend recommended him to try his hand at Suede. He was selected because of his solid skills, and that was why he brought his daughter, Rachel, to this factory.
