A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 350: You Might Not Be Able to Afford It

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Everyone in the restaurant turned to look at Schonard after hearing his bold declaration. All of them harbored intense animosity toward him. If he were to reserve the entire restaurant, no one else would be able to dine there, and that was unacceptable to them.

It was the first time anyone had ever tried to reserve the entire restaurant. Master Urien was still enjoying the grilled fish that he had ordered, and everyone wondered what his reaction would be if this Schonard tried to kick everyone out of the restaurant.

With that in mind, a hint of mockery appeared on everyone’s faces. This young buck clearly hadn’t done his homework before he decided to flex. He might be hailing from a rich family, but there were about 10 people sitting in Mamy Restaurant at that very moment that were just as rich, if not even richer, than his father. Furthermore, there were at least 20 customers that could slam him out of the restaurant with a single slap.

“I also like peace and quiet when I eat.” Urien glanced up at Schonard, but didn’t do anything aside from continuing to dine on his spicy grilled fish. His tongue had already gone numb from the spiciness, but he could still clearly taste its delicious flavor.

What came as even more of a pleasant surprise to him was that after swallowing the mouthfuls of fish, a scorching sensation ran through his entire body. His legs were perpetually stiff from influxes of frosty energy, but they were warmed up by the dish, and that frosty energy was being expelled from his body. He was also experiencing the same feeling with his hunched back, and as he continued to eat, his back seemed to be straightening out.

Urien had tried to find many ways to keep out the cold. At night, he slept on a bed that was carved out of a ten-thousand-year-old fire rock, which was excavated from the depths of a lava lake, and he also drank a glass of fire fruit juice every day, but neither of those was too effective. Over the years, the frosty energy had already delved deep into his bones, and couldn’t be removed through normal methods.

He didn’t have many years left to live anyway, so he had given up on looking for new ways to relieve those symptoms. However, the roujiamo that Mag had released gave him hope, and the new spicy grilled fish made him even more optimistic that he would be able to completely expel the frosty energy within his body.

The scorching sensation flowed deep into his bone marrow, reducing the frosty energy and excess humidity in his body to nothingness. The process wasn’t a very fast or drastic one, but he could clearly sense the frosty energy receding within his body, and the pain in his back and legs had been alleviated significantly.

If he continued to eat the dish every day, it wouldn’t be long until all of the frosty energy in his body was completely eradicated. Perhaps he would even be able to straighten out his back in that case.

Even though he didn’t have many years left, why wouldn’t he want to live his remaining years in a greater comfort? Furthermore, the remedy wasn’t some foul-tasting medicine, but this delicious grilled fish, so it really was a win-win situation.

Schonard took a glance at Urien, but didn’t think much of the hunch-backed old man. He was thoroughly basking in all of the attention he was receiving. Of course, Chaos City wasn’t Rodu, so he knew that he had to be a bit more careful, which was why he was asking the boss of the restaurant to evict all the customers, and he was willing to pay to reserve the restaurant.

He felt like what he was doing was very gentlemanly and heroic. Vivian was the city lord’s daughter, so she naturally couldn’t dine with all these demons, dwarves, and orcs. When he thought about how he would be able to dine in private with Vivian, his heart began to flutter. His actions would surely leave a good impression in her heart.

Is this guy retarded? Vivian shot a disdainful glance at Schonard. She’d only wanted to have a meal, but this guy was skipping around like a clown, putting on a really annoying show.

Furthermore, she was dressed as a man, but this guy was still trying to curry favor with her. With that in mind, a peculiar feeling welled up in her heart. She shifted her gaze away from Schonard, and thought to herself, Is he gay?

Vivian shuddered delicately as that thought occurred to her, and she unconsciously scooted away from him.

“How about it?” Schonard looked at Yabemiya with a smug expression as he raised his voice an octave. He was going to teach this half-dragon girl a lesson for talking back to him.

“Um…” Yabemiya was at a loss for what to do as she looked at Schonard. She hadn’t ever encountered a situation like this before, and she didn’t know what should be done. Schonard appeared to be quite a rich customer, so she didn’t want to offend him.

“Sorry, but our restaurant is not available for reservation.” Right at that moment, Mag emerged from the kitchen with a plate of Yangzhou fried rice. He placed the dish on a customer’s table before walking over to Yabemiya, and appraised Schonard with a smile. “Furthermore, our restaurant is very expensive, so you might not be able to afford it.”

All of the customers smiled upon hearing Mag’s words. As expected of Boss Mag, even his retort was delivered in such a civilized and calm manner.

Vivian looked up at Mag with a hint of surprise, upon which her eyes lit up. It appeared that he was the genius chef that Robert was referring to and the interesting parent of Luna’s student.

His cropped brown hair was very clean and uniform, and the mustache on his angular face gave him a slightly rogue air. His tailored chef’s suit was pristine and tight-fitting, making it very pleasing to the eye compared to the greasy uniforms that chefs often wore.

Hmm, he’s pretty handsome. Also, I give full marks for that mustache! Vivian thought to herself. Compared to the mature Mag, the rash and impulsive Schonard completely paled in terms of attraction.

That’s just my opinion on his appearance; it’s not like I have any interest in him. I’m just here to eat. Vivian took her eyes off Mag. It was quite satisfying to hear Mag deliver a retort to the annoying Schonard. She didn’t think that there was a restaurant owner who would refuse a customer’s request to reserve their restaurant, and also throw in a sly “you might not be able to afford it” on the end. He was indeed an interesting guy.

“You’re the boss here?” Schonard also faltered momentarily upon hearing Mag’s words. He didn’t that he would be rejected in such a straightforward manner, and insulted as well. If he let things slide, then the scintillating image that he had just established in front of Vivian would collapse. That would be unacceptable!

Schonard was on the verge of flaring up with rage as he glowered at Mag. “I may be wealthier than you can imagine. I’m reserving this restaurant today no matter what. Just state your price.”

This was just a small restaurant in a corner of the Aden Square. Even if they did have more customers than other restaurants of the same scale, how expensive could it be? If worse came to worst, then he would just have to pay for everyone’s meals and evict them thereafter. He had many gold coins and dragon coins on him, and those should be more than enough.

“Reserving our restaurant may be more expensive than you can imagine as well.” Mag was not very fond of rich boys who were constantly trying to flex like him. As Schonard’s expression became more and more twisted with rage, he smiled, and said, “If you want to reserve the restaurant, you’ll have to pay at least twice the amount of money the restaurant would make tonight, right? The evening service is the main source of the restaurant’s revenue, so you’ll have to pay 1,000,000 copper coins. Furthermore, you’ll have to pay for everyone’s meals, as well as an additional consolation fee, which will cost you 100,000 copper coins. Reserving the restaurant would negatively impact the restaurant’s reputation, which would result in a future reduction of profits, which you’ll have to pay 100,000 copper coins for as well. Thus, the total will come to 1,200,000 copper coins, in cash.”
