The next morning, Mai Ge got up early as usual to prepare the ingredients. Then, at seven o'clock, he woke Amy and dressed the little one in her little mage robes, she was going to Yulian's for class today.
"Daddy, will our restaurant be able to get back on the food rankings today?" Amy asked, chewing on the chicken and looking at Mai Ge.
"Well... I'm not sure right now, it might be a bit difficult." Mai Ge shook his head. He missed the chance to complain to Michael in person yesterday, and he was too lazy to make a trip to the City Lord's Mansion today. He just had to see if Warren would have a change of heart after eating all the delicious food at the restaurant yesterday and put Restaurant Mai Mi back on the list.
Of course, Mai Ge didn't have high hopes for this. In his previous life, he had a high position, so he could see more. From Warren's current position, many things were no longer within his control. The power of capital was propelling the Catering Association forward at breakneck speed, while simultaneously snatching the brakes from his hands as its leader.
It can be said that whether Restaurant Mai Mi can make the list again, without the intervention of a powerful fourth party, is in the hands of the Aden Square Merchants' Union.
As for how the Aden Square Merchants' Union would decide, Mai Ge didn't even bother to think about it. From Goodinia to Devo, and then to those restaurants that were later crushed by Restaurant Mai Mi on the list, unless the person in charge of the Aden Square Merchants' Union suddenly lost their mind, there was no way they would put Restaurant Mai Mi, this disruptive catfish, back on the list.
"They're so mean! Little Amy is so angry!" Amy said angrily, scooping up a large spoonful of rice and putting it in her mouth. As she chewed, she said, "I'm so angry that I want to eat another bowl of rice."
"If you want to eat tofu pudding later, you can't have another bowl. You can't eat too much in the morning." Mai Ge couldn't help but laugh at the little one. Sure enough, his daughter was the source of his joy. Although her pouting face was cute, but he still shook his head with a straight face.
"Okay... then I want two bowls of tofu pudding, one sweet and one savory." After a slight disappointment, Amy quickly held up two fingers, thought for a moment, and then her eyes lit up. "By the way, Daddy, wouldn't it be super delicious if you added a spoonful of Spicy Grilled Fish soup to the tofu pudding?"
"Spicy Tofu Pudding?" Mai Ge raised an eyebrow, looking at Amy with some surprise. He hadn't expected the little one to have the ability to develop new dishes.
In his previous life, Mai Ge had eaten authentic Spicy Tofu Pudding in Sichuan, but he still preferred Savory Tofu Pudding. The system only provided two flavors for tofu pudding: savory and sweet. Although it left some flavor slots, but it never provided a recipe, so he couldn't experiment on his own.
"Yes! Yes! Little Amy wants to try Spicy Tofu Pudding. I think it must be delicious!" Amy nodded her little head, her little face full of anticipation.
"Well... when Daddy has time, I'll do some serious research on it." Mai Ge nodded with a smile. The little foodie is getting harder and harder to please, she's starting to come up with her own whimsical ideas.
"Mmm, I believe Daddy can definitely make super delicious Spicy Tofu Pudding, just like the super delicious rainbow fish." Amy nodded, eating her meal with relish, while telling Mai Ge about the interesting things that happened at school.
"Daddy, I've already told Daphne and Ignaz that we're inviting them to our restaurant this weekend. Could you cook some delicious grilled fish for them?" Amy asked Mai Ge after finishing breakfast.
"Of course, what about little Jessica?" Mai Ge nodded, casually reminding Amy of the well-behaved little girl from last time.
"I haven't seen Jessica for many days. Her mother must be feeling better after eating the braised chicken Daddy made. If she stays home and helps her mother with chores, she won't have to beg outside." Amy shook her head. Although she was slightly disappointed, but it was clear that she was still happy for Jessica.
"Then let's go to her house on our day off and invite her to the restaurant." Mai Ge said with a smile. He could tell Amy missed the little girl, and he was also worried about the mother and daughter who depended on each other for survival. He figured it would be better to go and see them.
"Okay, Daddy is the best!" Amy nodded happily.
Mai Ge smiled and patted Amy's hair. Seeing the little one's smile made him feel better without even realizing it.
Not long after, Yabemia and Sally arrived at the restaurant. Seeing Yabemia's depressed expression as she entered, Mai Ge could roughly guess what was going on. This girl was good in every way, except that she couldn't keep things to herself. He could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.
"Boss, our Restaurant Mai Mi isn't on today's list again, but don't be sad. I think the Catering Association will give us a fair response." Yabemia looked at Mai Ge and said, forcing herself to be cheerful. But as she spoke, her eyes reddened, and she looked like she was about to cry.
Mai Ge, who was in a bad mood, was amused by this scene. This way of comforting others was quite unique. He quickly said, "I'm fine, Mia. Don't be too sad. It doesn't matter if we're not on the list. There are so many customers in the restaurant now, it doesn't matter whether we're on the list or not."
"But...but we worked so hard, we sent out so many voting slips, and the customers all gave us five stars reviews. Every single vote was cast by everyone. How could they just remove us from the list without any explanation? They're so unfair!" Mia pouted, tears welling up in her eyes. She had watched Restaurant Mai MI climb the rankings these past few days, investing so much hope and emotion. To be removed from the list so suddenly was a huge blow, and she couldn't accept it.
"Don't be sad, Sister Mia. When Amy becomes even more amazing, I'll ask them to put our restaurant at the top of the list." Amy reached out her little hand and took Yabemia's finger to comfort her. But, looking at Amy's determined expression as she looked up at Yabemia, it seemed that it was not just a simple act of comfort.
"Mmm." Yabemia nodded, realizing that her emotions seemed to be a little out of control. Mai Ge should be the one feeling worse right now, and she was even being comforted by him. She quickly wiped away her tears and took two steps back, trying to calm herself down.
"Should we continue having the guests vote today?" Sally's expression was also somewhat unpleasant, but she was much calmer than Yabemia as she looked at Mai Ge and asked.
"No need to fill out any more voting slips today. If this list is still this awful, we're not going to participate anymore." Mai Ge shook his head, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. A manipulated list offers absolutely no incentive to compete.
