Chapter 916 Talk About Being Extravagant!
“I...” Yabemiya started reluctantly.
“What happened?” Mag stopped what he was doing and looked into her eyes. He could tell something had happened last night.
Sally looked at Miya and said nothing.
Yabemiya paused a moment as they gazed at her with concern. Then she shook her head with a smile. “Nothing. I guess I didn’t sleep well last night. I had a bad dream.”
Mag didn’t want to press her further. “Well, we’re here if something is bothering you. You don’t need to go to the ice cream shop today. Go back and get some rest when breakfast hours are over.”
“Thanks, Boss.” Miya felt a warm feeling in her heart. I don’t know who her enemies are, maybe it’s best if I don’t get Boss involved. She isn’t able to get out of bed yet, so I should bring her something to eat when I get back.
Sally sighed silently. She’s too trusting. Hopefully that frost dragon is not a bad person as she believes.
“Oh, Boss, I saw the notice outside,” said Miya as she stood at the kitchen door. “So there’s a new dish coming out. Peking Duck, right? But where are the ducks?”
They all turned to look at Mag, as curious as the customers waiting outside. Each and every dish in this restaurant had blown their minds, so of course they were intrigued.
“Ducks are still on the way. The new dish will be launched officially tonight. It’s not fit for breakfast, but I’ll cook one for lunch and we’ll try it.” Yes, roast ducks were good, but they were not good for breakfast.
“Great!” Miya exclaimed happily. “One of the best things about working here is getting to try new dishes first. Boss, you can call me whenever you want to invent new dishes. I can help you taste them.”
They smiled. Maybe everyone wanted to help Mag invent new dishes by eating them.
“Trust me, you don’t want to try my failed dishes,” replied Mag. “Besides, you’d have to have a really big stomach ’cause I fail a lot.”
Everyone burst into laughter. Even Sally covered her mouth and grinned.
Firis looked at them and suddenly considered herself very lucky. Neither Irina nor Mag had mistreated her because of who she was or where she had come from. The atmosphere here was much more relaxed and peaceful than that in the Wind Forest.
Of course, she was confused to find Sally here.
Sally was the most likely to become the new elven princess now that Irina had been deposed, but she was here, working as a waitress when everyone thought she was training in her house.
Sally had disguised herself and tried to find out what had happened in the Wind Forest yesterday, but what she had found out really shocked her.
Irina had been deposed, and the elven queen had gone into seclusion. Right now, there were two opposing forces in the Wind Forest; one was led by Borg, the other by Helena.
Although the possibility of the elven realm sliding into a civil war was low, they would probably try to find another elven princess. As such, Sally might be forced to leave Chaos City and return home. She had wanted to talk to Firis yesterday, but the latter had locked herself in her room all day. Somehow their eyes found each other, and they quickly looked away.
Later, during their breakfast, Yabemiya asked Mag if she could take a sweet tofu pudding home and eat later.
“Sweet tofu pudding?” Mag asked, surprised. She has always only eaten savory tofu pudding, and why does she have to take it home?
“Yes. I want to try it. But don’t get me wrong, I’m still a savory tofu pudding girl. I just want to try it so that...” She paused, trying to come up with a convincing reason. “So that I can find more reasons not to eat it. Yeah. That’s the reason.”
Mag nodded with a smile. “I see. Of course you can take it home.”
Clearly it was a lie, but Mag didn’t want to expose it. Something did happen last night. She must have her reasons not to tell me.
Everyone had a secret, including him.
Miya’s face lit up. “Thanks, Boss!”
“Normally we can cater for about 300 people in one morning,” Mag said after breakfast, “but since we’re bigger now, I plan to serve 400 customers during breakfast hours, so I’m afraid we’ll have to work harder than before. I’m sure we can do it.”
Miya nodded confidently. “We got this.”
Sally and Babla were full of fighting spirit. They decided to give their all now that their workload had increased.
“Do you want me to help with serving customers, Boss?” Firis asked.
“No need for that,” Mag replied. “You just stay in the kitchen. You’ll be as busy as a beaver after you’ve mastered how to grill beef kebabs.”
The people in the back part of the waiting lines would have left, but Mag told them they could serve up to 400 customers this morning.
“Welcome,” Mag said to the crowd, smiling.
Finally they got to see the new Mamy Restaurant.
“Whoa, it’s much bigger than before. I like the wooden shelves. It’s so classy. Mag is indeed a genius.”
“That plant can grow in water alone? I didn’t know! But these crystal glass containers look very expensive, and they are using them as plant pots?”
“Talk about being extravagant!”
