Mamy Restaurant’s moon festival celebration was a resounding success, and undoubtedly allowed it to gain even more fame.
Going to eat at Mamy Restaurant was slowly becoming a habit for many people.
“Donna, let’s go eat at Mamy Restaurant tonight. I feel like my skin has become fairer and softer of late; it’s all thanks to Boss Mag’s tofu pudding!”
“Really? Let me have a look. Wow, your skin really is so much more supple now! No, I can’t wait for tonight, I have to go now! How could you only alert me to such a wonderful thing now? Do you even see me as your friend? My husband has been complaining about my skin lately.”
“I thought I’d try it out to see if it worked first before telling you about it. I can now confirm that if you eat this tofu pudding, your skin will immediately recover to what it was like when you were 20, and your man will be begging you for attention.”
Two noblewomen held hands together joyfully as they got onto a lavish horse-drawn carriage together.
In a furniture store, a middle-aged man informed his employee, “Isaac, my client and I will be having a meal at Mamy Restaurant tonight.”
“Boss, that client prefers quieter settings. Mamy Restaurant doesn’t have any booths, and you’ll have to line up for seats; is that a good idea?” The employee was a little hesitant.
“I know he likes quiet settings, but I also know that he likes delicious food more than peace and quiet. This order is very important for us. The furniture store across the road has recently released a new range with better designs than ours, so our chance of securing the order as things currently are is not very high. That’s why we have to take some risks.” The boss shook his head before a smile appeared on his face as he said, “Of course, the risk is minimal when dining at Boss Mag’s restaurant. No one can resist the flavor of his dishes, and it makes lining up seem like a trivial matter.”
“Alright, I’ll organize things right away.” The employee nodded before departing.
A young man with short blond hair looked at a bunch of his friends of a similar age, and scratched his head with concern as he asked, “Last time I invited Ms. Gina out for a meal, she didn’t appear to be very pleased with the place we went to. She doesn’t seem to like roast meat. Do you guys think I have a chance at going on another date with her? Where should I take her to eat so she can fall in love with me?”
The young men all wore lavish clothing, and it was clear that they hailed from noble families. All of them were currently offering Kenneth advice.
“If you ask me, you should just reserve a massive booth at Ducas Restaurant, then take us with you as your wingmen. You’ll take her down for sure!”
“No way! Ms. Gina’s father is a professor from Chaos School, and she was brought up to be a polite and elegant gentlewoman. If you guys all turn up at once, she’ll be too scared to ever go out on a date with me again! Ducas Restaurant isn’t a bad place to consider, though. If I can reserve a roast pig, she’ll be sure to enjoy it.”
“Ducas Restaurant’s waiting list for their roast pig is already two months long. When that time comes, she’ll probably have forgotten who you are already. Wasn’t there a new restaurant that opened up not too long ago that had a fish dish? I went to taste it, and it was really good. Maybe Ms. Gina will like it.”
“Yes! Ms. Gina told me once that fish was her favorite food. Tell me where that restaurant is!” An elated look appeared on Kenneth’s face.
A young man with brown curls pursed his lips, and scoffed, “Heh, none of you know anything about the food in the Aden Square, and you know even less about dating.”
“Do you have a better suggestion, Harry?” Kenneth turned to the young man with hopeful eyes.
Harry shook his head with a serious expression, and said, “Taking a young woman out on a date to eat fish is a very awkward arrangement. A graceful gentlewoman like her must have exceptional table manners, so what will she do when she encounters a small fishbone? Will she pull it out of her mouth or swallow it? Irrespective of what she does, she definitely won’t want to go on a date with you ever again.”
“Gasp!” Everyone drew a breath sharply upon hearing that. Kenneth’s expression also changed drastically. Just the thought of a scenario like that was very awkward.
“Of course, if you insist on taking her out to eat fish, then you have to pick a fish with no small fish bones at all. In that case, you’ll be able to appeal to her taste buds and avoid the aforementioned awkward scenario,” Harry continued.
“A fish with no small fishbones? There’s no such fish in this world.” Kenneth was quite dejected.
Everyone also rolled their eyes in response. They had thought that Harry would be able to provide some useful advice, but listening to him was clearly a waste of time.
“That’s why I told you guys you know nothing about the food in the Aden Square. The spicy grilled fish at Mamy Restaurant is cooked using a fish with no small fishbones at all, and it’s countless times tastier than the fish served at the restaurant you were talking about. If Ms. Gina agrees to go on a date with you, you’ll definitely be able to win her over with that delicious grilled fish,” Harry promised with a confident smile.
Thus, the small restaurant in the corner of the Aden Square became immensely popular, and it was only becoming more renowned.
“I’m going to class now, Father!” Amy tucked her little wand into her pocket and waved at Mag before walking out the door. She had lessons with Urien, so there was no need for Mag to accompany her to school.
“Be careful.” Mag waved with a smile. He then turned to Sally and Yabemiya, and said, “Aisha, Miya, I plan on hiring two more employees.”
“Huh?” Sally and Yabemiya both stopped what they were doing and turned to Mag in unison.
“Is it because I’m not doing a good enough job? If I’m doing something wrong, you can tell me, Boss. I can do better.” Yabemiya looked at Mag with a nervous expression.
Sally was also looking at him with a perplexed expression on her face. More and more customers were coming to the restaurant as of late, but the size of the establishment and Mag’s rate of cooking were strict limiting factors, thereby ensuring that Sally and Yabemiya were able to keep up.
“That’s not the case. I couldn’t have asked for two better employees than the two of you. I’m hiring more employees because I plan to open a new branch, so I need more staff,” Mag explained with a smile. It appeared that they had both misunderstood his intentions.
“Opening a branch?” Yabemiya and Sally were both surprised to hear this.
“Oh, I know! Boss won a restaurant the day before yesterday; are you planning on opening another Mamy Restaurant there?” Yabemiya asked.
