Chapter 1672: It's Such An Honest Restaurant

"I…" Harrison opened his mouth and huffed coyly. "I can eat for three people!"

Amy gravely warned, "Big Brother Blue Fatty, you will scare off the pretty big sisters like this, and you will never find a wife."

"I…" Harrison gave it a thought, and then said, "Then I will eat a little less."

"Please go in." Mag nodded with a smile, and gestured to Harrison that he could go in already.

"I won't stand on ceremony, then. Please direct Gjergj and his family in when they arrive later." Harrison hurried into the restaurant enthusiastically.

"Average spending is 100 copper coins per person!!!"

All the customers at the restaurant's entrance were shocked when they watched Harrison waddle in.

Mamy Restaurant's high pricing was already not news in Chaos City.

Its high spending where a meal could easily cost hundreds and thousands of copper coins kept away many people who weren't well-off enough. Meanwhile, many new restaurants with weird names began to pop up along the street. These restaurants, which apparently had got the secrets from Mamy Restaurant, became the places where people went to satisfy their curiosity.

The people who went to such restaurants usually had two reactions. One, they really thought that they had gone to Mamy Restaurant, and heaped praises on the dish; two, they were grossed out by those weird dishes. They then tossed all the blame onto Mamy Restaurant, and stomped it into the ground.

Everyone knew those wealthy people were not idiots, but they didn't want to admit that they couldn't afford to eat in Mamy Restaurant, and had gone to try out those copycat restaurants along the street. Therefore, many of them could only feel angry.

However, the boss of Mamy Restaurant actually opened a hot pot restaurant today, and the price was lowered from 1000 copper coins per person to 100 copper coins per person. Hence, how could it not have caused a commotion?

100 copper coins. They were not going to lose out over it!

"Why don't we go in and try it out?"

"Let's try it out then. I want to see if this hot pot is really as amazing as they described."

The two orcs who were about to go to another restaurant turned around and entered the hot pot restaurant.

"As long as this boss wants to preserve his reputation, this hot pot restaurant has to taste better than other hot pot restaurants. Let's have our lunch here today."

"With Boss Mag's endorsement, this can't go wrong."

"The flower stands are even sent by the Buffetts' Miss Scheer and the Moretons' Miss Gloria. It definitely won't go wrong."

The customers who were still hesitating about going in finally made their decisions, and rushed into the hot pot restaurant.

+1, +1, +1…

Mag's lips began to curl crazily as he watched the numbers of new customers quickly surge over 100 in his mind.

Rena smiled brightly too. She said something to Mag before she went into the restaurant to handle the affairs of the restaurant's opening.

The food and beverage industry's herd mentality was very severe. After all, 99% of people would choose a popular restaurant over an empty restaurant as being popular was the proof of excellent taste most of the time.

Therefore, the customers that surged into Mana Hot Pot Restaurant also triggered the "try it out" mentality among the people who walked by.

Spending at a newly open restaurant without any recommendations depended on instincts.

Of course, the regular customers who were informed at Mamy Restaurant last night were not included in that category. All of them greeted Mag and Amy warmly, and then went straight into the hot pot restaurant.

Boss Mag was the brand name itself. If Boss Mag couldn't be trusted, then nothing in Chaos City's culinary world was worth looking forward to.

"Boss, Amy." Miya and the rest came together, and they waved at Mag and Amy way before they reached them.

"Are Anna and she coming?" Miya looked around her.

"There they are." Amy pointed at a rental horse-drawn carriage behind them with her tender little finger. Shirley was helping Anna out of the carriage.

Miya's eyes lit up, and she happily said to an approaching Shirley, "Shirley, you're back. That's great."

Everyone greeted her too.

Shirley nodded, and apologetically said, "I'm fine. Sorry to have made all of you worry for me."

"Alright. Since we have all arrived, let's go in and find a seat. We will chat as we eat," Mag smilingly interrupted their chitchat. He held Amy's hand and went into the hot pot restaurant first.

They could see 100-odd hot pot tables neatly set up in the 1000-square-meter-big hall as soon as they stepped in. There were simple partitions between them, but the space was still rather open.

There were already about 10-odd tables having the hot pot now. The rising steam and the spicy hot pot's aroma made the atmosphere increasingly hot.

The great hall, which could accommodate hundreds of people dining at the same time, had to be very spectacular when it was filled with people eating hot pot together.

"Let's sit over here." Mag chose a corner table which was close to a window, and sat down. After the numbers of new customers shot up quickly in his mind, it slowly entered into a stable growth rate, and its upward trend seemed rather good. There was still hope that the number of new customers could go over 1000, so Mag didn't bother to keep track of it. Instead, he sat down and flipped open the menu.

"Woah. The prices here are unbelievably low. A helping of pig's brain only costs 25 copper coins! Sliced beef only costs 35 copper coins a helping! Even my favorite duck intestine only costs 25 copper coins a helping!" Harrison, who was seated not too far away from Mag, was already overcome with joy after he read the menu.

"Would Big Sister Rena make a loss with such low prices?" Babla worriedly asked after she read the menu.

"Nobody would do a business that loses money. To be able to list such prices means that Rena is already sure that she can get high-quality ingredients at a very low price." Mag shook his head with a smile. He trusted Rena's foresight and attitude.

Yabemiya praised, "Big Sister Rena is really a capable lady boss."

"Order whatever you want. It's my treat today." Mag turned the menu toward them.

"Things are not looking good. Everyone was simply looking initially, but after that man said something, all the customers went in. It's getting boisterous now," a man said with panic after he watched the customers go into Mana Hot Pot Restaurant from a distance.

"This isn't good. We can't allow them to grow," the other man said with a frown.

"What do we do now?"

"Watch me."

"Don't do anything rash. The boss has specially instructed us that although we can lower the prices, we cannot and dare not touch that restaurant."

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid." That man tidied his clothes, and walked toward Mana Hot Pot Restaurant.

Another group of customers began to gather at the hot pot restaurant's entrance again. They were looking at the opening promotions' notice above the signboard.

"Giving a free plate of duck intestine is nothing." That man walked into the crowd, and said with disdain, "I passed by that Cassia Hot Pot Restaurant earlier, and they are having a 'buy one, get one free' for all their dishes. Moreover, they are having free flow of alcoholic drinks too. Apparently, its average spending per person is not even 50 copper coins. It's such an honest restaurant."
