"Even if I leave right now, never to return, and never come back again, you still won't sell me a bowl of Savory Tofu Pudding?" Vivian said earnestly to Yabemia.
"Little Mustache Brother, you can't leave!" Amy stood to the side, speaking with a straight face.
"Why? What if I really have to leave? Are you worried that I won't come back and the restaurant's business will suffer?" Vivian looked at Amy and asked with a smile, suddenly realizing that she had grasped the key point.
"No, if you want to leave, you have to pay for the tofu pudding first. It's 200 copper coins." Amy shook her head and stretched out her little hand to Vivian.
Vivian's smile froze instantly. Looking at Amy, who was holding out her little hand with a serious expression, she suddenly realized she had completely underestimated this little girl.
"Little Mustache Brother, didn't you bring any money? That won't do. Our restaurant only accepts cash. You can leave after you pay." Amy said, looking at Vivian with some confusion.
"Should I leave or not?" Vivian was immediately conflicted. She had originally wanted to scare Yabemia and get her to give her another serving of Savory Tofu Pudding, but now this little girl wasn't afraid at all and was directly asking for money and telling her to leave.
Yabemia looked at Vivian with a smile. She wasn't worried that Vivian wouldn't pay, since she could tell from his clothes that he was definitely not short of money. He had paid for the grilled fish he ate yesterday.
However, the rule of one serving of tofu pudding per person per meal cannot be broken. So if he insisted on having a second serving, they could only do as Amy said, and he paid the bill and left.
"No way! Although I'm furious, but if I miss this delicious Spicy Grilled Fish, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to eat it, and I might not even get a good night's sleep tonight! So I have to eat the grilled fish. I'll swallow...this anger!" Vivian looked at Yabemia, who showed no sign of changing her mind, and Amy, who was innocently reaching out her little hand, took a deep breath, crossed her arms, and said coolly, "I actually wanted to leave, but the grilled fish is almost ready, right? If I leave, it'll be a waste, and I really can't do that, so I can only eat the grilled fish before I go. I've had enough tofu pudding, I don't want a second serving."
"Okay, guest, please wait a moment." Yabemia smiled and turned to go into the kitchen.
"Little Mustache Brother, you actually want to eat Spicy Grilled Fish, right? I could tell from your eyes." Amy also withdrew her little hand and looked at Vivian with a smile.
"Who said that! How could that be! It doesn't exist!" Vivian waved her hand a little guilty, looked at Amy who was wearing a little mage's robe, and leaned closer to say, "Also, little girl, why do you call me 'Little Mustache Brother'? That nickname is so awful. From now on, you can call me the most handsome guy in the entire continent. I like that nickname."
"But I don't like it. I like calling you Little Mustache Brother." Amy shook her head, then pointed her little finger toward the kitchen, saying proudly, "Besides, the most handsome guy in the entire continent is my Daddy, not you."
"Uh…" Vivian glanced at Mai Ge in the kitchen, speechless. This girl really wasn't polite at all. But she really couldn't respond to what she said. Looking at the little one's serious expression, she found it strangely cute.
"Fine, whatever you want." Vivian glanced at Shawnard, who was looking somewhat absent-minded as he waited for the extremely spicy grilled fish. Compared to his long and nasty nickname, hers was already quite friendly.
"Okay, Little Mustache Brother." Amy nodded, squatted down, and gently rubbed the Ugly Duckling, which was rubbing its little head against her little leg, before picking it up and playing with it.
"I was going to tell you the latest news from the Catering Association, but since you want to compete with me for the title of the most handsome guy on the entire continent, then I won't say anything, hmph." Vivian snorted softly, looking towards the kitchen, propping her chin up with one hand, watching Amy and the Ugly Duckling play with a bit of boredom.
One dish after another was brought out from the kitchen. Although Mai Ge was the only one working in the kitchen, but he served food faster than many large restaurants. The guests began to enjoy the food, and a pleasant atmosphere spread throughout the restaurant.
"We want thirty Rou Jia Mo." Sargeras said generously as soon as he entered the restaurant. He glanced at his usual seat at the entrance and saw that it was already occupied, so he picked up his chair and stood at the door without going inside.
"Guest, you should be able to get a seat in a little while." Yabemia said with a smile. Over this period of time, she had become quite familiar with this demon who ordered dozens of Rou Jia Mo everyday.
"No need, we'll just eat standing at the door. The brothers have been fighting all day and they're all hungry. If possible, let them have the best reward Rou Jia Mo now." Sargeras said with a simple smile, shaking his head and not caring about seating.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Yabemia smiled and nodded, then turned and walked quickly towards the kitchen.
"Boss, I think we could put some tables and chairs outside the restaurant, so that customers who can't easily come in to eat will have a place to sit." Mia said as she entered the kitchen and put Rou Jia Mo onto a tray.
"Hmm, that's a good idea, but we probably can't operate a business on the sidewalk in Aden Square, right?" Mai Ge said with a smile. An open air restaurant is a good suggestion, but it's not certain whether it will work.
"Okay, I just feel it's a bit inappropriate for those lava demons to stand at the door to eat everytime. After all, they're already exhausted when they come to eat, and they have to stand there." Yabemia nodded, a little reluctantly.
"Yes, that is indeed a problem." Mai Ge glanced toward the door upon hearing this. Several lava demons were standing outside the floor to ceiling windows, looking into the restaurant. Each of them bore some kind of injury, as if they had just returned from the wilderness.
Buying dozens of Rou Jia Mo everyday is a considerable burden for them. They need to complete many mercenary missions to earn the money to buy Rou Jia Mo. If they could have a seat to sit down and enjoy the food, it would be a great comfort to them after a hard day's work.
"Ding a ling!"
Just then, the restaurant door was pushed open, and a tall woman in an ice blue dress walked in. The air in the restaurant seemed to drop several degrees in an instant, and even Mai Ge, who was standing in the kitchen, could feel the chill.
