Chapter 1703: Boss, Take A Seat Here

The customers greeted the young man warmly. They should be regulars of the restaurant. There were others who even asked about the mutton kebab and mutton soup.

That young man could also call out the customers' names or nicknames correctly, but he was still mysterious about the new launches.

Leiden and Moore followed the line towards the entrance of the restaurant while being shocked at the young man.

"Welcome." Mag nodded at them with a warm smile. His gaze paused on the young boy with a pot on his back.

"Hi." Leiden quickly nodded back with Moore. He was about to step foot into the restaurant, but stopped to shuffle his feet outside before making his way in.

Mag looked at the two for a while. He could tell from their tattered clothes that they were not wealthy. This young boy had a pot on his back and a short knife hung on his waist. This meant that out of the two, one of them could cook.

The omniscient door notified him that this father-and-son duo was no simple orcs.

Perhaps they'd just arrived at Chaos City, and didn't know the prices of Mamy Restaurant, so they came in by mistake.

There were many customers like that every day. Most of them would find an excuse to leave after taking a look at the menu.

Mag did not look down on them. There were way more ordinary people in this world. Spending 200 copper coins on a bowl of tofu pudding was a very lavish thing to most.

Leiden and Moore found a table near the entrance. It was more convenient to leave from there. They stood by the table and hesitated to sit.

Their clothes weren't very dirty, since they would usually take their shirts off when they worked and put their shirts back on after they were done.

However, this table and chairs were all as clean as a clear mirror. Not a trace of dust could be seen on the surface. If they were to sit, they would definitely cause a lot of dust to settle on the furniture, and the service staff would have to clean them again.

"Please take a seat and browse through the menu first. Someone will come over to take your order." Gina walked over to them, and placed the menu down in front of them.

It was the first time Moore had seen such a beautiful lady with such a lovely voice. His face flushed red, and he quickly looked down, afraid to even look at Gina. He tugged on Leiden's sleeve and sat down.

"How could we." Leiden was a little uneasy. He looked up and saw that Gina had already walked towards the kitchen.

"W-we'll take a look at the menu first." Moore was also a little nervous and uneasy. However, since they had already taken their seats, they could not possibly stand up and leave right away. They still wanted to see if the customers liked the mutton soup.

"Alright." Leiden nodded. Since they'd already taken a seat, they'd just take a look at the menu first.

"Sirs, there aren't any more seats. Can we share a table with you?" A voice sounded from beside them.

Leiden looked up and met a plump, smiling face. The person who asked was a man dressed in a beautiful robe, wearing a large gemstone on his finger. Beside him was another man of a similar size and wearing an equally beautiful robe. It was obvious that the two of them were bosses. Leiden quickly pulled Moore up, and nervously said, "Boss, take a seat here."

"Hey, hey, hey." Harrison and Gjerj were flustered the moment Leiden and his son stood up, and quickly reached out to stop them.

"Please, don't. If you don't want to share the table, we can just wait. If you let us have the table, Boss Mag might think that we snatched the seat. That's really embarrassing." Harrison didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. It had to be their first time here at Mamy Restaurant, so they did not really understand the table-sharing rule.

"Yeah. There aren't a lot of tables in Mamy Restaurant, but there are quite a lot of customers. That's why the boss made the table-sharing rule. As long as there are empty seats, we can share the table and eat together. We're not trying to snatch the table. We just want to share the table," Gjerj explained with a smile. They did not want to end up on Boss Mag's blacklist because of a ridiculous misunderstanding.

After hearing their explanation, and seeing the two bosses appear even more nervous than he was, Leiden felt a little strange. He didn't expect bosses who were willing to share a table with them to exist. He thought for a while and sat back down with Moore uneasily. He shifted their luggage over to his side and nodded as he said, "Take a seat."

"Alright." Harrison and Gjerj smiled as they took their seats.

"Judging from your accent, you don't sound like a local. Did you just arrive at Chaos City?" Harrison asked curiously after sitting down.

"Mm-hmm. Just recently." Leiden nodded and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Then you guys came to the right place. Mamy Restaurant is the best restaurant in Chaos City. The food here can't be found anywhere else," Harrison said with a smile.

"Okay." Leiden nodded. He put his hands under the table and rubbed them together, not knowing how to reply.

Gjerj glanced at the father-and-son, and changed the topic. "Boss Mag stood us up for a day and launched two new products. How amazing. We have to try this mutton soup, and see how Boss Mag made it turn out."

"I've tried roast mutton before. There's a restaurant opened by shepherds selling roast mutton in the city's west. It's not bad. But as for mutton soup, I really wonder how Boss Mag would get rid of that rank odor. The smell isn't really friendly," Harrison said with a smile.

"If Boss Mag wasn't even capable of that, he wouldn't launch the mutton soup. Aren't you even confident in that?" Gjerj commented without a hint of worry.

Leiden and his son pricked their ears as they listened to the conversation carefully. They were increasingly curious about Boss Mag. How good did his culinary skills have to be for this bunch of big bosses to line up early in the winter morning?

Moore flipped the menu open. The moment he saw the prices at the side, he could not help but take in a breath of cold air.

Leiden glanced over and his eyes widened immediately. The number of zeros on the menu made his vision blur. Even the cheapest tofu pudding was priced at 200 copper coins.

A bowl of mutton soup cost 500 copper coins, and the mutton kebab, which was not available in the morning, was sold at 100 copper coins for a skewer.

Leiden quickly did a mental calculation. He had 1,000 copper coins in his pocket. That was not even enough for him and Moore to order two sets of Yangzhou fried rice.

Moore looked up from the menu and swallowed hard. He suddenly regretted pulling his father into this restaurant. Now, he had landed them in such an awkward situation.

Just then, Miya came over to their table with a smile, and asked, "May I have your order please?"

"Er…" Leiden stared at the menu as beads of perspiration started forming on his forehead. He hesitated for a while before saying, "We'll… get a sweet tofu pudding."

"Alright. One sweet tofu pudding. Please hold on." Miya nodded with a smile before turning to look at Harrison and Gjerj.

Harrison glanced at Leiden and his son with a smile before saying, "We'll have four bowls of mutton soup, and give me a set of Yangzhou fried rice too. I think that would go very well together."

"I'll have a savory tofu pudding and youtiao," Gjerj added.

"Alright. Please hold on for a while." Miya nodded with a smile, and turned to walk towards the next table.
