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

Chapter 983 I Won“t Be Able To Repay All Of Your Kindness In This Life

This red braised pork is simply too delicious. I’ve got to control myself. I had already put on 1.5 kg this month, so if I continue to put on weight, I’ll be 50 kg. A teenage girl stared at the three pieces of red braised pork and her empty rice bowl and hesitated for a long time. Finally, she raised her hand. “Give me another bowl of rice. please.”

“This has totally subverted all I thought about pork, even the roast pig at Ducas Restaurant didn’t bring me such a surprise. It’s fat but not greasy. It’s a fragrant, sweet, and tender soft delicacy. It’s simply too scrumptious!” A middle-aged man sighed as he put down the bowl that he licked clean.

Avis listened to the customers’ praises. If he’d been at another restaurant, he would’ve thought they were people engaged by the boss, but after tasting that delicious red braised pork, he only felt that their reviews were too superficial and lacked actual power.

Red braised pork, it’s divine!

Soon, the black pepper steak was served. Avis, who was still submerged in the scrumptiousness of the red braised pork, soon fell into the delicious trap of the black pepper steak.

As Avis looked at the signboard after exiting Mamy Restaurant, he emotionally said, “He’s indeed the chef who received the court banquet’s best dish award. He really got what it takes.”

Then he turned and left. That was all that afternoon. He was already stuffed.

…

The golden opinions that the customers heaped on red braised pork made Mag feel successful. He felt that all the suffering he had gone through in the test field for the God of Cookery was worth it.

Bringing the best delicacies to the customers was also a thing that made one feel blessed.

After the lunch service, Mag wrote two more missing-person notices by hand, and then proceeded to the Food Association and the city lord’s castle.

Very soon, the missing-person notices appeared on the notice boards of the city lord’s castle and Delicious Cuisine Rankings.

The notice board at the city lord’s castle was a column that the people of Chaos City paid a lot of attention to on the normal days. With Aden Square being the shopping district with the highest foot traffic in Chaos City, the magic notice board that stood in the middle of the square naturally gained plenty of attention.

For that period of time, this missing-person notice became a hotly discussed topic in the streets of Chaos City. Those who were not familiar with Mamy Restaurant lamented the father’s determination even after 25 years. They spread the news as they were touched.

A city-wide search exercise began to proceed quietly, driven by three missing-person notices.

…

It was getting late at night.

An unknown blacksmith in a small lane at the north of the city still had a dim oil lamp lit.

A hunchbacked old blacksmith removed his dirty apron and put a padded jacket he took from the side. He rubbed his hands and shouted into the shop, “Hada, let’s wrap up. Master is bringing you out for a drink. We need a nightcap on such a cold night.”

“Okay,” a hoarse voice answered from inside. After a series of banging sounds, a fit and muscular young man emerged from the blacksmith shop. He’d look like a perfectly positive and handsome young man if not for the two missing fingers on his left hand and crippled right calf. He still looked positive as he smiled at the old blacksmith even when he had a few streaks of charcoal on his face.

“Let’s go, Master. It’s cold today, you got to wear more.” The young man called Hada wrapped the old blacksmith up with his own clothes. He was only wearing a thin shirt.

The old blacksmith walked slowly as he calmly said, “I don’t feel warmer even when I wear more clothes. I most likely won’t get through this winter. Guard this shop after I’m gone. This shop is all I have in my life. I will rest assured passing it to you.”

“Master…” Hada followed up chokingly. Although he was crippled, it didn’t show in his gait. His right leg quickly followed as he put his left leg forward. If one didn’t look closely, he looked just like normal people.

“Silly boy, don’t be sad. All humans will die. The king of the Roth Empire may not even live to my age. Am I proud?” the old blacksmith said with a smile.

“Master, it was you who rescued me from the streets, fed me, and taught me to be a blacksmith. You have to live for a few more years so I can pay you back…” Hada said chokingly.

“It was your own good luck to be able to escape from that place then. I happened to see you lying by my doorstep. It was so cold, and I couldn’t bear to see a young child like you freezing to death, so I brought you home. I don’t have any children, and you have kept me company for all these years. You have saved me by getting a doctor to me a few times. You don’t have to feel that you owe me anything,” the old blacksmith said, waving his hand.

Hada shook his head with tears in his eyes, and said, “You taught me how to be a human, gave me a new life. Those people broke my leg and chopped off my fingers. If you hadn’t taught me how to make a living, I would’ve still been begging at some corner. Therefore, I do owe you, Master, and I won’t be able to repay all of your kindness in this life.”

The old blacksmith halted, but he didn’t turn his head when he said, “Silly boy. After I’m gone, throw out whatever should be thrown out in the house. Pack up nicely and marry the tailor’s Rachel and have a few kids. She’s a nice girl. That’s all I expect from you.”

Hada’s mouth trembled. Finally, he nodded, and said, “Okay.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this. Let us have a drink.” The old blacksmith continued onward. At the start of the lane, there was an open-air stall which still had its lights on. Steam came out from the pot, and one could smell the aroma of mutton soup from a distance away.

…

After the Blue Suede Fashion released its windbreaker, it took Chaos City by storm. Hundreds of windbreakers sold out in a day. It created a trend of wearing windbreakers in the aristocratic circle.

And Blue Suede had also become the clothing store that was the most discussed among the ladies.

Clothing store. What an unusual name.

In the past, the rich people’s clothes had to be custom-made to measure. In their eyes, only the poor would wear those poorly made and even unfitting clothes.

But now, in order to snap up a piece of Blue Suede’s clothing, the noble ladies and the wealthy girls didn’t care whether the size fitted them anymore. They wouldn’t mind altering it themselves after they bought it.

The clothes manufacturing factory of Blue Suede Fashion was separated from the shop totally. The factory located to the east of the city had already had its tailors and apprentices enter into a two-shifts system because of the high order demands.

As the wages were two times higher than what they could earn custom-making clothes for others, and they didn’t have to fawn over customers, do repeated alterations, and worry about orders, but simply follow the drawing and do their jobs to get a rewarding salary, all the tailors were highly motivated.

Benjamin used to be an old tailor from the north of the city. He couldn’t earn much being a tailor to the poor.

A while ago, an old friend recommended him to try at Blue Suede. Because of his good skills, he was selected, and he brought his daughter along to this factory.
