Chapter 575 Claiming the New Restaurant

“My apologies, but due to the large number of customers today, the roast beef kebabs will be limited to a maximum of five per person,” Mag announced with a smile. A large proportion of the customers in the line had clearly come for his kebabs, and there was no way he could supply an unlimited amount of them for every customer. As such, he was placing a cap on the number of kebabs that could be purchased so more customers could taste the dish.

“Alright, then I’ll get five.”

“With five cubes of beef on each kebab, five kebabs should be just enough to fill my stomach.”

The customers near the front of the line were a little disappointed to hear this, but they soon came to accept this cap. At the same time, the customers behind them heaved a collective sigh of relief. The cap would at least ensure that they would have a chance to taste the kebabs.

“Also, our Mamy Restaurant will be holding a moon festival celebration tonight. I’ve prepared mooncakes, and everyone is free to attend. The mooncakes will be given out free of charge, so do stop by if you have some time later tonight.” Mag extended an invitation to all of the customers present.

“A moon festival celebration? With free mooncakes?”

“I can’t miss this! I wonder what this mooncake is, though. Is it cake made from the moon?”

“Does that mean there won’t be a dinner service tonight?”

All of the customers’ eyes lit up with curiosity and excitement after hearing Mag’s announcement. However, Mag had already entered the kitchen without providing any further explanation. He was trying to manufacture an element of mystery and novelty that would be sure to attract everyone’s interest.

“There are three different flavors for our roast beef kebabs; please choose a flavor first before you make your order.” Yabemiya flipped open a menu for a customer with a smile on her face. Images of the three different flavors of the beef kebabs had already been added to the menus. The extremely vivid and life-like images of roast beef kebabs made one feel as if they could grab a kebab straight out of the page.

“They’re so expensive! 300 copper coins per kebab?” The customer turned to Yabemiya with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Many of the customers had also flipped open their menus, and all of the first-time customers were stunned by the prices of the restaurant’s dishes. Their prices were even more absurd than Ducas Restaurant’s, and even the cheapest tofu pudding cost 200 copper coins per serving. This was quite a significant sum for many people. All of them also turned toward Yabemiya with inquisitive looks, wondering if the owner of the restaurant had changed the prices overnight following his victory over Ricky the day prior.

“All of our prices have remained the same since the day the restaurant first opened.” Yabemiya offered a calm smile in response. She was already used to customers’ skepticism for the restaurant’s prices.

The customer looked at Yabemiya’s calm smile, and was a little embarrassed by his own pettiness. After hesitating momentarily, he closed the menu, and said, “I’ll get a spicy kebab and a barbeque-flavored kebab.”

Randy’s forge had only become profitable recently, and he still hadn’t earned back his initial investment yet. As such, 600 copper coins was quite a large sum for him to spend on a single breakfast. However, he had witnessed the cooking contest in person the night before, and had been completely captivated by the alluring aroma of the kebabs. As such, even though it was a little expensive, he still wanted to taste the kebabs for himself.

Some of the other customers also hesitated for a while before choosing to depart. 300 copper coins was not something they could afford to splurge on breakfast.

“All of Boss Mag’s dishes are premium creations, so don’t complain about the prices. Being able to taste such delicious dishes at these prices is an absolute bargain.”

All of Mamy Restaurant’s regular customers immediately placed their orders without any hesitation. In comparison to some of the other dishes, this new dish was still within an acceptable price range.

Mag heaved a faint sigh inside the kitchen as he saw some of the customers depart. He wanted to bring delicious food to everyone, but it was quite clear that this was an impossible vision with Mamy Restaurant at its current stage. He had to earn more money to upgrade the restaurant as well as to purchase more strength points. His top priority at the moment was to earn more money in order to become more powerful.

Soon, the roasting rack that was close to two meters in length was entirely filled with beef kebabs. Mag quickly flipped the kebabs before dividing them into three batches, applying a different flavor of sauce to each batch. The rich aroma of roast meat instantly filled the entire kitchen as one kebab after another was placed onto dishes. Yabemiya then brought the dishes with kebabs out to their designated customers.

The rich aroma of roast beef spread throughout the entire restaurant, making the customers salivate incessantly. Some of the customers were still sitting on the fence, undecided about whether they were going to order the dish or not, but they finally caved in after taking a sniff of the delicious aroma.

“It’s a pity that it’s bad to drink alcohol in the morning. I’ll come back later today to try out the beer.” Many of the customers had also noticed a new beverage on the menu in the form of beer. However, it was still quite early in the morning, so no one ordered the beverage.

Harrison had arrived at the restaurant bright and early, and had finally managed to secure a batch of freshly roasted kebabs for himself. He had been thinking about the kebab the entire night, and his eyes were glowing as he looked at the five kebabs placed before him. He picked up a garlic-flavored kebab and blew on it gently. However, his impatience got the better of him in the end, and he bit off the first cube of beef even though it was still a little hot.

Oh! This flavor!

Harrison’s eyes immediately widened in disbelief. The rich sauce coupled with the succulent beef set off an explosion of delicious flavors in his mouth. The aroma of the garlic wasn’t overpowering at all, but blended together perfectly with the other condiments instead, creating a delightful combination.

The beef was tender and juicy. It was also quite oily, but not greasy in the slightest, and instead lent an extra dimension to the beef’s texture. Compared to normal lean beef, this roast beef was undoubtedly far more delicious.

“Phew… This is incredibly delicious! It’s worth far more than just 300 copper coins!” Harrison praised after swallowing the beef in his mouth. He then bit off another cube of beef and closed his eyes with a blissful expression, basking in the delectable flavor.

Similar words of praise were echoing throughout the entire restaurant. All of the customers who had been skeptical about the prices earlier had been completely won over. Some of the customers who were still standing in line made their orders anyway. After all, kebabs could be eaten while standing, and some people were in a hurry to get to work.

Hence, a large group of brisk walkers with kebabs in their hands appeared on the streets of the Aden Square. All of them were like walking advertisements for Mag’s kebabs as they left a trail of irresistible aroma behind them.

Following the conclusion of the breakfast service, Mag heaved a long sigh of relief. All of the kebabs that he had prepared had been sold out, and the vast majority of the customers had gotten to taste them.

“Aisha, Miya, you two clean up the restaurant. I’m going out for a bit to claim the new restaurant.” Mag removed his apron from his waist and pushed his bicycle out the door.
