A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 1384

Chapter 1384: Crazy Customers

“Jane?”

Everyone began to look toward the stairs curiously. After a while, a maiden wearing a red maid’s costume came down the stairs slowly, lifting her skirt with her hand. She curtseyed to all of them a little stiffly with a blush, and said, “Hello… e-everyone, I am Jane.”

“Don’t be nervous, Big Sister Goldihorn. They are all very nice big sisters.” Amy smiled warmly as she went forward to hold Jane’s hand.

Miya stepped forward, and smilingly asked Jane, “What a cute little golden horn. It looks just like a dreamy glass. Can I touch it?”

“Is it cute?” Jane’s eyes lit up and looked up at Yabemiya. She, too, had a pair of golden dragon’s horns on her head. She was infected by that energetic smile and nodded smilingly. “Mm-hm.”

Miya reached out to touch Jane’s horn gently. Its smooth and cold sensation felt just like crystal. However, she quickly retrieved her hand and smiled. “Nice to meet you, Jane. I am Yabemiya. I should be a few years older than you. You can call me Big Sister Miya.”

“Big Sister Miya,” Jane called out gently. Her heart warmed up instantly as if she had gained another friend.

“How do you do? I am Connie. Can I touch your horn?” Connie came up and looked at Jane’s horn enviously.

“Mm-hm.” Jane nodded with a blush. She didn’t know why the horn that always caused her to be teased would be so adored here, but this feeling… was really fantastic!

“I am so envious. Why can’t I have a pair of nice-looking horns like this?” Connie touched Jane’s horn as she twitched her two pinkish-white cat ears.

Everyone went up to greet Jane, and the ambiance was very harmonious.

Mag watched with a smile Jane’s face, which was slowly brightening up. He then went into the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone. Today’s breakfast would be a sumptuous affair as he wanted to reward the ladies who had worked very hard in his absence.

The system had reported the restaurant’s earnings in the past few days to him when he returned to the restaurant last night. After deducting the cost, the profit was over 1,000,000 copper coins.

Meanwhile, his hard work on Carapace Island… had only yielded over 100,000 copper coins.

It was already a goose which could lay golden eggs by itself.

Mag could even retire right now, and never had to worry about money for the rest of his life.

Rena’s hot pot and Firis’ beef kebabs could already support half of his restaurant whenever he was not around.

Miya came to the kitchen’s entrance. She saw that Mag was busy cooking, and cautiously asked, “Boss, are you going to release a new dish after your latest ingredients search? The customers already said if you couldn’t release a new item that satisfied them, they were going to starve themselves to death at the door.”

All the ladies were looking at Mag curiously too. He had already broken his record of going out in search of ingredients as he had left for five days this time.

“Don’t worry. They will not starve as long as they reach the restaurant’s door,” Mag calmly replied.

He turned around and smiled mysteriously to all the ladies who had curiosity written all over their faces. “You all will find out at noon.”

“I guess it would be a very scrumptious delicacy.” Yabemiya’s eyes lit up. Judging from Mag’s confident and relaxed expression, everyone would definitely be satisfied.

“Oh my heavens! Did I see correctly? Boss Mag is back!!!”

“Yes! You’re right. Boss Mag is really back!”

“Oh no… I’m overly excited. I feel a little dizzy now…”

“Carry him away. The next person can step up!”

“Don’t carry me away… help me up. I still want to eat the Yangzhou fried rice that Boss Mag makes…”

Outside the restaurant, the customers who had seen the notice had already descended into chaos.

The five days without Boss Mag made them learn how days felt like years.

A wealthy lady raised her arm up into the air, and shouted, “Sisters, we have to make Boss Mag agree to sell us a second helping of tofu pudding today so as to compensate for the loss of our beauty in these five days.”

“I agree!”

“Me too!”

All the ladies in the line began to raise their hands up in agreement. In these five days without the tofu pudding’s assistance, they felt they had become haggard. Hence, it even cost them their confidence in front of their men.

“Can you all include me?” a man said weakly.

“Scram!!!” all the women shouted in unison.

It was all these men who had stolen their quota. Sometimes they even missed out on it because they were late.

At 6.30 am, Mag went out to distribute the love breakfast for the cleaners after his breakfast.

“How could you be so heartless, Boss Mag? You left me, who is six months pregnant, behind. Do you know how sad I am?” a pregnant lady with a big stomach accused Mag tearily.

“???” Mag.

Irina, listen to me…

“Can you see my heart, Boss Mag?”

“No.”

“Liar. You brought my heart away with you, and now you pretend that you have no idea about it. How could you…”

“Mister, please don’t do this. I am a little scared.” Mag took two steps back and stared at that mister with a beard in horror.

“Boss Mag, can you see my stomach?” Harrison caressed his tummy.

“That’s just fat!” Mag said gravely.

“No. I mean… I have become skinny because of hunger when you are not around.”

“I really couldn’t see the difference…” Mag shook his head after looking at Harrison’s prominent-as-ever tummy.

Mag was really shocked by the customers’ crazy enthusiasm after his five days of absence.

He wondered how Miya and the gang had survived for the past few days. It was indeed very tough on them.

“Boss Mag, will you release a new item today?” Gjerj asked Mag bravely even when he was being squashed by the crowd.

“There will be a new item coming out at noon. Please stay tuned,” Mag smilingly answered the question that everyone was very concerned about.

“Boss Mag, we haven’t eaten tofu pudding for days. Can we get a second helping for breakfast?” asked the wealthy lady who was leading the call earlier.

“One person is only allowed to purchase one helping of tofu pudding. However, from today onwards, the supply for tofu pudding at every meal service would increase from 300 bowls to 400 bowls.” Mag smiled. There was no way he would agree to a second helping.

Everyone was a little disappointed, but they smiled again when they heard about the additional 100 bowls. They now had a better chance at getting a helping of tofu pudding even if they came late.

Mag stood on the stairs in front of the restaurant after distributing the cleaners’ breakfast. Looking at the customers who had orderly formed two long lines again, Mag apologetically said, “I’m sorry to have kept you all waiting. But it’s alright as you all will get used to it in the future.”

“Scram!!!” the customers roared angrily in unison. They would have thrown rotten eggs and vegetables if they had them. Was this fellow planning to leave them in a lurch in the future too?
