“1… 1,200,000 copper coins!” Schonard stared at Mag with incredulity etched on his face. His voice spiked a few octaves as he exclaimed, “Are you delusional? Do you think this is Dukas Restaurant that you’re running here?”
Schonard had thought that it would cost him 20,000 copper coins at most. That was almost half of his spending money for the month, but if he could win Vivian’s heart, then the price would be well worth it.
However, Mag was asking for 1,200,000 copper coins! That was absolutely insane, and he was stipulating that cash had to be used!
Who would carry over a million copper coins with them to a restaurant?!
All of the customers in the restaurant were also a little stunned. Business was booming for the restaurant, and they charged high prices as well, so everyone could deduce that their daily revenue was quite high.
No one had done any specific calculations, but from Mag’s words, it sounded like they were making close to half a million per day.
Among all of the restaurants in the Aden Square, even the first-ranked Dukas Restaurant might not be able to compare to that.
“That’s already a discounted price.” Mag shrugged with a smile. “Besides, even if you have the money, the restaurant isn’t available for reservation anyway.”
A collective burst of laughter erupted in the restaurant. All of the customers were in a slightly foul mood from Schonard’s cocky declaration, but their spirits had been lifted again.
In terms of flexing, Mag was far superior to Schonard. “Your daddy will always be your daddy”—those words couldn’t ring any truer.
“Pffft…” Vivian almost burst into laughter upon hearing that. The boss here really was an interesting man. He wasn’t using any vulgar words, but his insults were all the more scathing for it.
However, she immediately discovered that she shouldn’t be chuckling under her breath. As such, she burst into raucous laughter, venting all of her frustration with Schonard in the process.
“You…” Schonard’s face immediately became flushed with rage. He was extremely infuriated upon hearing the customers’ laughter, and when Vivian joined in, he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury himself.
He was trying to take advantage of this opportunity to show off his charisma and gentlemanly side, but he had been reduced to a laughingstock. He had lived in Chaos City for two years, and it was the first time that he had ever been humiliated like this.
Mag handed a menu to Schonard, and suggested earnestly, “You can have a look at the menu first. You may not be able to reserve the whole restaurant, but you can have one of every dish like you declared earlier if you want. As for the spicy grilled fish, I think the insanely spicy level will suit you.”
“Let me see what you’re selling to deserve 1,200,000 copper coins.” Schonard wrenched the menu from Mag’s hand, and flipped it open with an enraged expression. His eyes then immediately widened, and he brought the menu closer to his face as he asked, “Are these prices correct?”
Schonard often visited high-end restaurants, so he was used to seeing a few expensive signature dishes here and there. However, the cheapest item on this menu was the tofu pudding, which cost 200 copper coins, while the braised chicken and rice cost 800! As for the most expensive spicy grilled fish, the smallest portion cost 1,200 copper coins, and the largest was labeled at 2,000!
The top-ranked Dukas Restaurant on the Aden Square food competition rankings sold a whole roast lamb for 2,500 copper coins, but that was enough for six people. Furthermore, they supplied free drinks with each order of the whole roast lamb, and they were still able to claim the top spot with that price.
But in this restaurant, which wasn’t even on the rankings board, they were charging 2000 copper coins for a grilled fish. Surely even the largest grilled fish could only be enough for four people at most!
“Those are the correct prices. Every customer pays the same price, and I’ve never received any complaints.” Mag shook his head with a smile.
These prices… Vivian opened her menu, and a hint of surprise also appeared on her face at the sight of the prices being charged here. She contemplated momentarily before nodding and thinking to herself, If the food really is as delicious as Uncle Robert says, then this isn’t expensive.
However, with so many customers and such high prices, even if all of the customers only order the cheapest tofu pudding, their earnings would still be extremely high. They could easily rank as one of the top restaurants in the Aden Square based on daily earnings. It’s really difficult to believe that this is a restaurant that has only been running for less than a month. If they can continue to expand, then it wouldn’t be difficult at all for them to overtake Dukas Restaurant for the top spot. Vivian looked up at Mag with an intrigued expression. Not only had this man spoiled this month’s Aden Square food competition rankings, it wouldn’t be long before he tipped the entire restaurant industry in the Aden Square on its head. Is his food really that good? I have to taste it for myself.
“I’d like a spicy grilled fish with medium spice level and a sweet tofu pudding.” Vivian closed the menu, and looked at Mag with a serious expression as she said, “I hope your dishes can live up to their hefty prices.”
“My target is to always make the taste of my dishes live up to their monetary value. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.” Mag smiled at Vivian, and his eyes lingered on her neck for a moment before he averted his gaze and turned away.
Schonard was clearly trying to show off to this handsome “young man” by trying to reserve the restaurant, and Mag initially had also thought that Schonard’s sexual orientation was a little off. However, it appeared that this was actually a young woman. She either had an A cup chest or had bound her chest with some strapping, and her cover had most likely already been seen through by Schonard.
Has he noticed? A hint of caution welled up in Vivian’s heart.
“I’ll also take a spicy grilled fish, the largest one you have. As for the spice level…” Schonard turned to Mag. He didn’t have 1,200,000 copper coins in cash, and even if he did, he wouldn’t spend it just to reserve the restaurant for a night.
Furthermore, Mag wasn’t going to let him reserve the restaurant even if he had the money, and if he were to keep bickering over that, it would only make appear barbaric in Vivian’s eyes. He had already failed in his first attempt to flex, so he had to limit the damage. Even though he didn’t normally eat a lot of spicy food, he wasn’t going to back down in front of Vivian. Thus, he gritted his teeth, and said, “I want the insanely spicy level!”
“Alright, I’ll have your orders ready soon.” Mag smiled as he turned toward the kitchen. The reason why the insanely spicy level was referred to as such was because it was simply not something a normal person could handle.
Schonard was going to pay a heavy price for trying to show off in front of a woman.
Even Mag couldn’t help but observe a minute of silence for his digestive system and his a*shole. Even though he liked spicy food, he was still not insane enough to try the insanely spicy level.
Yabemiya heaved an internal sigh of relief, and went on to serve the next customer. It seemed that no matter what troubles were thrown at them, Mag could always resolve them with composure and efficiency.
All of the customers also began to focus on their meals. With Mag as the boss of the restaurant, they didn’t have to worry about getting evicted, as he was a man of righteousness.
Schonard looked at Vivian with a smile, and asked, “May I sit here, brother?”
