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

Chapter 1152: The Best Weight For Ducks Used In Roast Ducks Is 5 KG

Customers started coming, forming a long line at the entrance of the restaurant.

“Why do I have to go through such torture early in the morning?”

“I suddenly want to be a cleaner.”

“Is this congee with pork and century egg so good? It looks like I have to change my breakfast menu today.”

The customers in the line were very unhappy and envious.

A slightly plump cleaner finished his bowl of porridge and walked over to the pot with his bowl as he hesitantly asked, “Can… Can I have another sip of porridge?”

“Of course. I’ve prepared sufficient porridge for everyone. It’s enough even if everyone gets a second serving.” Mag smiled and nodded. He took the bowl over and scooped some more porridge for him. Porridge was never filling, especially for people like them who had been starving.

“Thank you,” that cleaner said gratefully. He held the bowl with both hands and went back to the steps carefully.This chapter is updated by Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

When they heard what Mag said, many cleaners came over with their bowl to get a second helping. It was the first time they had tasted such delicious porridge. It would really be a bliss to be able to have another bowl of it.

The porridge was very delicious, and the cleaners finished their two bowls of porridge in no time at all. Old Jack and his wife helped to collect the silverware and lay it neatly on the table at the side.

The cleaners all expressed their gratitude to Mag with a smile on their extra rosy cheeks.

“Burp.” Elton let out a satisfied burp. If it were not because he really could not drink any more of the porridge after three bowls, he would have gotten another bowl. He put the bowl casually on the table at the side and glanced into the large pot that still had quite a lot of congee with pork and century egg left inside. His eyes lit up, and he said to Mag with a chuckle, “Erm, Boss Mag, we’ve already had some of this porridge, so you’re going to throw the rest out, right? Why don’t you give it to me? I’ll bring it back and have it for lunch. Otherwise, it would be such a waste to throw it out.”

“The rest is our breakfast. It will not be thrown out.” Mag brought the lid over and covered the pot. He calmly told Elton, “I am not as high and mighty as you think, and there is also no need to put yourself down. We are all just ordinary people. My daughter is eating the same food as you had in your bowl. So are all of us.”

The cleaners who were about to leave looked at Mag and the cute little girl who was licking her huge bowl, and their eyes suddenly became a little moist.

The customers, who were standing at the side, thought for a while. They initially minded that they had to use the silverware used by the cleaners, but felt a little guilty for thinking that way. Now, they were looking at Mag with admiration.

Elton was dumbfounded for a while. He realized that the mood was a little off. He did not think that a wealthy owner of a restaurant like Mag would actually eat something from the same pot as they ate. Since his little ploy was foiled, Elton embarrassedly said, “I see, then… I won’t ask for it. You guys go ahead.”

After saying that, he walked away quickly to grab his things and left.

“Mr. Mag. Elton is just like that. He just likes to go for free things, but his character isn’t that bad. I hope you don’t take it to heart. I will talk to him about it after this,” Old Jack told Mag apologetically. He was the first to know Mag, so he would feel a little bad that something like this were to happen.

“It’s alright.” Mag shook his head and smiled. After that, he looked at everyone and said, “It’s still 6.30 am tomorrow morning. Remember to be on time.”

After the cleaners showed their appreciation, they left with their tools because there was still a lot of cleaning work waiting for them to do.

However, after having the piping hot congee with pork and century egg, they felt warm and energized all over, They even had more gusto to sweep.

Yabemiya brought the remaining pot of congee with pork and century egg back into the restaurant. The rest followed along after cleaning the silverware up.

“I heard that the breakfast Boss Mag provided for the cleaners at Aden Square is the new product that he is going to launch?”

“Yes, I came early and happened to see it. The cleaners had a great time eating it. One look and I can tell that it’s very delicious.”

“Boss Mag is such a great person. I must try this congee with pork and century egg later and see how good it is.”

The customers started flowing in, and the news of Mag providing the new product as breakfast for the cleaners soon spread all over, spawning quite a few discussions.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant, Mag and the others were indeed having the leftover congee with pork and century egg for breakfast.

“Mm, this porridge is really delicious. It melts in the mouth, and the texture is a little sticky. The fragrance of the meat has completely infused into the porridge, and the century egg does not taste like a duck’s egg at all. It’s chewy and super delicious!” Yabemiya said with surprise as she moved her mouth and swallowed a mouthful of porridge.

Everyone else was also pleasantly surprised when they tasted the congee with pork and century egg. It was even better than they thought, and the chewy and beautiful century egg gave them a special culinary experience.

“Father, can I have a youtiao? I think it would taste very good with this porridge.” Amy raised her hand and got herself another bowl of porridge.

“Who else wants the youtiao, raise your hand,” Mag said as he got up to walk to the kitchen.

“I want one, then.” Miya raised her hand.

“I want it too.” Anna raised her little hand.

“Meow!” Ugly Duckling tried its best to raise one paw.

“No, you do not want it.” Amy pressed its paw back down.

“Meow~” Ugly Duckling watched Amy grudgingly. Its aggrieved look made one pity it.

Amy lowered her head and seriously asked it, “You can’t wait to grow up, huh? I heard from Father that the best weight for the ducks used in roast duck is five kilos.”

Ugly Duckling stared wide-eyed at her and quickly shook its head hard as it retreated to Anna’s side, hiding quickly behind Anna.

…

Outside the restaurant, the customers had already formed a long line, making the corner of the desolate square look very lively.

“Please make way.” Just then, a black horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the restaurant.

Adams jumped out from the horse-drawn carriage and told the driver, “Take the things out.”

“Yes.” The driver went into the carriage and brought out a long board covered with a red cloth carefully.

“What is this?”

Adams adjusted his armor and walked to the restaurant’s door. He reached out, knocked, and loudly said, “Boss Mag, please open up for a while. There’s something I want to pass to you.”

Mag, who just came out from the kitchen with the youtiao, heard him and put the youtiao on the table. He motioned for the ladies to start eating first before going to open the door. When he saw Adams and the driver, who was carrying the long board, he was puzzled.
