Chapter 1671: You Should Be Considered As 2.4 Of A Normal Human
“N-nothing…” That man moved his Adam’s apple. He suddenly realized his back was soaked in cold sweat after making sure that pair of weird father and daughter had gone far.
If not for that burnt hole on the tree and the burnt smell in the air, he almost couldn’t believe that the little fireball tossed out by that cute little girl was so terrifying.
“What’s up?”
“Let’s go. Let’s find some other place to drink.” That man quickly put his arm around his friend and strode away. He had confirmed that it was an existence that he couldn’t afford to antagonize. He didn’t know how they had annoyed them, but it would be best for them to drink more and talk less.
“Father, they are badmouthing our restaurant. Why don’t you let me teach them a lesson?” Amy, who was sitting in her little seat, asked Mag who was riding in front.
“We will stoop to their level if we are to argue with them. We can do that, but it’s unnecessary.” Mag shook his head with a smile.
This wasn’t the first time he’d heard such “smart” speech. Ever since the number of copycat restaurants increased on this street, he could always hear those customers who scolded Mamy Restaurant together after they ate in those restaurants which only copied the names and failed to do the dishes right.
Regarding that, Mag felt rather helpless too. All his customers said they were great. He didn’t expect those copycat restaurants to be so useless. The grilled fish was either undercooked or charred, and the fried rice was either too wet or overcooked. He was the most angry about the “Buddha jumps over the wall”. It was just a pot of messy stew. They simply threw anything into it. Weren’t they afraid of poisoning their customers?
The copycat restaurants had damaged the reputation of the dishes. All the shops were just eyeing the money. They were not putting in the effort to study anything. They could have done a better job if they had come to Mamy Restaurant to try out the dishes a few more times.
However, it wasn’t Mag’s business even if they were horrible cooks. He couldn’t be asking them to close their shops, right? There wasn’t any copyright protection for a dish name in this world yet. Even in his previous life, different restaurants could also come out with different tastes for the same dishes.
“Then, are we going to allow them to scold us?” Amy pouted her mouth with dissatisfaction.
“Of course not. Mana Hot Pot Restaurant is the start of our retaliation.” Mag smiled. “We’ve got to let them know what a real hot pot restaurant is. There should be a standard even for fairly priced hot pot. Those businesses who are trying to cheat their customers will be eliminated.”
“Mm-hm. Let’s eliminate all of them.” Amy nodded her little head.
“Seems like there are many people here.” They could already see 10-odd color flower stands in front of the Mana Hot Pot Restaurant and customers going in and out. The atmosphere was very boisterous.
Meanwhile, in his mind, the progress bar had already jumped to 56/1000.
Mag’s bicycle stopped in front of the door, and Rena, who was welcoming customers at the entrance, came up to them with a smile. “Boss, Little Amy, you came.”
Mag carried Amy off the bicycle and smiled at Rena, who had specially put on a red long dress today. “You are the boss today.”
Rena smiled shyly before she quickly said, “Let’s go in first. I reserved a room for all of you on the second floor.”
“We don’t need a room. We will just eat in the hall on the first floor.” Mag shook his head with a smile instead. “Eating hot pot needs an ambience. You don’t have to care about us. Little Amy and I will wait for them to arrive.”
“Alright.” Rena nodded and continued to welcome the customers in with a smile.
Mag and Amy stood to the side. He threw a glance at the flower stands, and then narrowed his eyes.
16 flower stands. Eight were bright red rose flower stands, while the other eight were milder and youthful. They came with congratulatory words: Congratulations on your opening, Mana Hot Pot Restaurant—Scheer Buffett; Congratulations on your opening, Mana Hot Pot Restaurant—Gloria Moreton.
“These were specially delivered by the flower shops in the morning. They’re from Miss Scheer of the Buffetts and Miss Gloria of the Moretons. They should be for you, Boss,” Rena explained with a smile when she saw Mag staring at the flower stands.
“They look rather weird together.” Mag cocked his eyebrow. He didn’t know where those two got the news from. They even specially sent flower stands over. However, something felt rather weird with flower stands when they were placed together.
“Big Sister Scheer and Big Sister Gloria really care about you, Father.” Amy blinked her eyes, got closer to Mag, and whispered, “Does Mother know about this?”
“She has something on today, so she won’t be having hot pot with us.” Mag smilingly patted Amy’s head without any fear at all.
“Really? We have agreed to have our dinner together tonight.” Amy tilted her head and looked at Mag.
“It’s just friends sending congratulatory flower stands for a new shop opening. It should… be fine, right?” Mag began to ponder deeply.
“You have to tell that to Mother. It’s fine if she believes it.” Amy smiled.
“Mana Hot Pot Restaurant. This restaurant is huge. Today’s its opening day, so every table will be given a plate of free duck intestines. Shall we give it a try?”
“Let’s not hurry. I’ve heard about this hot pot. Apparently it was started by Mamy Restaurant, and it cost over 1000 per person. We’re simply having a casual lunch, so it’s not necessary for us to spend so much money.”
“Jeez… 1000 per person. That’s really a little expensive.”
Two orcs murmured in front of the hot pot restaurant. After exchanging a look with each other, they prepared to switch to another restaurant.
“Aiyo, Boss Mag and Little Boss, what are you guys doing here? Is this Mana Hot Pot Restaurant really a branch of Mamy Restaurant?” A fatty rushed past the two of them, and hurried toward that father-and-daughter duo standing at the door.
“Isn’t that the boss of Mamy Restaurant?”
“Is that cute half-elf girl the legendary little boss? She’s really cute.”
“Is this hot pot restaurant really a branch of Mamy Restaurant? I heard that hot pot originated from Mamy Restaurant. I didn’t expect the boss would open another branch so close to his restaurant.”
“Mamy Restaurant’s cheapest dish costs 200 copper coins, and a meal of hot pot would cost 1000+ per person. Seems like we don’t have to think about this restaurant anymore.”
“If this is a branch of Mamy Restaurant, then the taste will be guaranteed. Let’s eat here this afternoon.”
The people who were watching the new restaurant’s opening and considering going in to try began to talk softly. Some were initially worried about the high prices, while others decided to go in based on Mamy Restaurant’s golden reputation.
Mag shook his head at Harrison, who began to pant after taking a few hurried steps, and smilingly said, “It’s not really considered a branch. Mana Hot Pot Restaurant is a professional hot pot restaurant which focuses on fairly priced hot pot. The average spending for a normal human adult is about 100 copper coins.”
“So cheap??? I remembered a helping of pig’s brain cost 100 copper coins when I had hot pot previously. It only costs 100 copper coins per person to eat to our hearts’ content here?” Harrison stared at Mag with a shocked expression.
“That’s for normal humans. For Big Brother Blue Fatty, you should be considered as 2.4 of a normal human, so you will need to spend 250 copper coins,” corrected Amy.
Mag patted Amy’s head, and praised, “Good calculations.”
