A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
Chapter 413 - Longjing Green TeaChapter 413 Longjing Green Tea
“A reminder from the system: even though the ingredients sourced by the system are all natural and harmless, ice cream cannot be consumed in large quantities in a single sitting, or digestive problems could ensue. Please restrict the amount of ice cream being consumed by the customers in order to prevent accidents from happening.” The systems serious voice sounded.
“Oh, right, I almost forgot; eating too much ice cream could lead to diarrhea.” Mag came to a sudden realization upon hearing that. Following Amy’s wheedling request, he had completely forgotten about the potential side effects of eating ice cream. It appeared that he couldn’t just let her eat as many as she wanted, after all.
“System, what is the upper limit on the amount of ice cream a normal person can consume?” Mag asked internally. The ice cream was a new product for the restaurant, so he had to work out a restriction on the amount that he could sell to each person.
“Three for adults, two for children,” the system replied.
“Alright, then I’ll restrict it to two per person.” Mag nodded and licked the mocha ice cream in his hand as a joyful smile appeared on his face. It was worth all those days that he had spent in the test field for the God of Cookery to be able to create such delicious ice cream. With so many supreme grade ingredients, the texture of the ice cream was far smoother than even the best ice creams that he had tasted in his past life.
Let alone the kids, even he felt like he could eat 10 in a sitting!
“Father, I want more ice cream! I want the green one this time, the one that has the same color as grass.” Amy turned to Mag with an expectant gaze. She had already finished her ice cream and was crunching on the cone, which she found to also be extremely tasty.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMag smiled as he said, “Sure, but you can only eat a maximum of three ice creams. I was wrong earlier; the ice cream is too cold, so your tummy might hurt if you eat too much.”
Amy faltered momentarily upon hearing that before looking at Mag with a pitiable expression as she asked, “So I won’t be able to taste one of the flavors?”
“Yes, but you’ll be able to taste it tonight.” Mag nodded in response. His heart was throbbing at the sight of Amy’s pitiable expression, and he wanted nothing more than to grab a bunch of ice cream cones and thrust them all at her. However, logic won out over his impulses in the end–he knew that it would not be a good idea to do that.
Amy nodded obediently, and hesitated momentarily before deciding, “Alright, then… I won’t eat the vanilla ice cream. I’ll eat the chocolate one as my last one.”
“Alright.” Mag nodded with a smile.
“Mag, I feel like you were born to cook. You will most definitely be recorded in the Norland Continent’s history books, and the delicious foods you’ve invented will change this entire world.” Xixi was full of admiration as she looked at Mag, and she said, “Lulu and I have traveled to many places in the past, but we’ve never tasted such delicious food. You are a culinary genius!”
“You’re far too kind. I’m just very lucky, that’s all.” Mag put on a modest smile in response. He wasn’t really interested in changing the world. All he wanted was to become stronger, then cook all types of delicious food for Amy. If it were possible, he would also want to find Amy’s mother so she could have a complete set of parents.
The ice cream dessert capped off the meal perfectly, providing an incomparable experience that put everyone in an extremely good mood.
“Burp… I’m so full! I’m so happy!” Ignatsu burped as he rubbed his round stomach with a blissful expression on his chubby face.
“This is the most delicious meal I’ve ever had. Thank you, Amy.” Jessica licked the ice cream on her lips as she turned to Amy with a smile.
Amy also smiled as she leaned over to Jessica’s ear, and whispered, “You’re welcome, Jessica. Come play with me more often. That way, you can have more meals with me.”
“No, I can’t do that. Mother says good little girls go home to eat meals, and shouldn’t ask for food from other people.” Jessica shook her head with a smile, and added, “But I’ll still visit and play with you.”
Luna turned to Rebecca with a smile, and offered, “Jessica’s mother, Jessica is at the age where she can attend school as well, right? If you want, I can help with enrolment into Chaos School. For kids her age, school is the best place to be.”
“Thank you, Teacher Luna. It is indeed about time for her to go to school. Before he passed away, her father told me that I have to get her enrolled into Chaos School so she can at least learn to read and write.” Rebecca nodded, but her expression was slightly crestfallen as she said, “But I really don’t have the money to afford tuition at the moment, so I’ll have to wait until later.”
“That’s alright. Jessica is a really smart little girl, so she’ll definitely be able to catch up even if she starts a little late.” Luna looked at the dejected Rebecca with a hint of sympathy in her eyes. As a single mother, it was already difficult for her and her daughter to survive, let alone pay for her daughter to go to school.
Mag looked over at Jessica, who was playing joyfully with Amy and the other little kids. Indeed, at her age, school was the ideal place for her. It was far better than begging on the streets or doing repetitive, monotonous jobs at home. Accumulation of knowledge was an imperative if Jessica wanted to pursue her dreams in the future.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the delicious meal, Yabemiya took the little kids out to play with Amy’s new kite, while Sally stayed behind to clean
up.
Xixi stood up with Lulu, and she looked at Mag with a smile as she said, “Thank you for inviting us to enjoy such a delicious meal today, Mag; I thoroughly enjoyed all of your dishes. I have to go back to the shop, and Lulu also has to go back to work, so we’ll be taking our leave now.”
“No problem. Come over again some time.” Mag nodded with a smile. Xixi and Lulu then bade farewell to everyone else before leaving the restaurant.
Luna also stood up, and said, “Mr. Mag, I also have some things that I have to do this afternoon, so I’ll be taking my leave as well. Thank you very much for today.”
“You’re very welcome, Ms. Luna. I hope to see you again soon.” Mag nodded with a smile.
Luna turned to leave before turning around again with a hesitant expression. After contemplating momentarily, she asked, “I have a question, Mr. Mag… you can choose whether you’d like to answer or not. May I ask what kind of green tea you put into the mocha ice cream?”
“It’s a type of tea leaf known as Longjing green tea—a type of tea that only I’m familiar with,” Mag replied with a smile.
“Longjing… What a unique name. Looks like this is one of your secrets, so I won’t pry. My grandfather really likes to drink tea, and I imagine he would really enjoy your mocha ice cream too.” Luna gave him a polite smile, and nodded before departing.
