Chapter 1491
A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
âSilly boy, children shouldnât take alcohol. Take a sniff of this soup. Itâs cooked with alcohol directly. It isnât nice. Come, Master will take the burden off you.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âFatty, stop eating. Look at your tummy. Itâs going to catch up with that wok youâre carrying on your back soon. Master will drink that soup on your behalf. Master is thinking about your welfare, you know.
âManman, youâre taking so long to blow on the soup to cool it down. You will be wasting 30 minutes of your life if you want to finish this soup. Master will help you finish the remainder then. After all, Master has enjoyed plenty in life, itâs ok for me to waste a little of my life.â
Harris walked among his disciples, and shamelessly extorted another few bowls of âBuddha jumps over the wallâ.
People who were already beginning to line up were all staring at Harrisâwho was blushing with steam emerging from his head, and his bald head already had a layer of dense short hairâwith an odd expression.
Why was this master a little different from what they had imagined?
âMaster, you seem to be drinking too much of it,â his youngest disciple, Fanner, reminded him softly.
âYou know nothing, kid. This is the effect that I want,â Harris said nonchalantly as he reached out to touch the top of his head with a blissful smile. He finally could have a head of luscious hair again after so many years, and return as the culinary worldâs most handsome chef.
âThe competition took up a lot of our time. Itâs time for us to swiftly get ready now,â Mag said as he strode to the kitchen after he returned to the restaurant and closed the door. He didnât even have the time to share his joy.
âI will get the ingredients ready very soon.â Firis jogged to the kitchen. She took her apron from the peg, and tied it around her waist. She washed her hands, and threw herself into the work of preparing the ingredients.
âI can help mill the tofu pudding,â Anna said. She already learned how to operate the beans-crushing machine.
Everyone quickly got back to work. To the restaurant, starting their operation on time was a very important affair.
Mag turned around, and said, âOh yes, Miya. Dig out that giant menu, and set it up at the restaurantâs entrance again.â
âAlright.â Miya found the one-man-tall standing menu that was folded up behind the counter. She went out, set it up at the door, and smilingly reminded, âThis is the restaurantâs menu. First-time customers, you can have a look first so it will be easier for you to place your order later.â
Then, she returned to the restaurant.
A commotion had already broken out behind her.
âThe items on this menu are so expensive! A dish can cost hundreds or thousands each!â
ââBuddha jumps over the wallââ10,000 copper coins for a helping!!!â
âErm⦠This line is really too long. I heard there is a very nice fish restaurant there. Should we go over there to try it out?â
âSure. I donât want to wait too long for a meal, either.â
Besides causing a commotion after setting up this menu at the door, it also had a great effect of making people back off.
At the same time, it also spared the customers the awkward situation in which they wanted to leave after lining up for hours, and then seeing the menu in the restaurant.
âThis âBuddha jumps over the wallâ actually costs 10,000 copper coins per helping. Grandmaster is really very generous.â
âEven 10,000 copper coins isnât enough to measure the value of such a delicacy.â
âI only drank one sip. The rest was drunk by Masterâ¦â
âWoo⦠I didnât even start to drink.â
Harrisâ disciples all had a shocked expression when they saw the menu.
They had traveled extensively on the continent, met many famous chefs with their master, and been to their restaurants.
They had seen expensive menus before, but this was indeed the first time theyâd encountered a soup that sold for 10,000 copper coins, and even consumed it.
âItâs such a worry-relieving miracle drug. Never mind that it costs 10,000 copper coins, it would have been worth it even if it had cost 100,000 or 1,000,0000 a bowl!â Harris lamented as he received a towel from Chapman to wipe his wet head. Although he had gained a master at such an advanced age, his hair had regrown, and he hadnât felt so happy for a long time.
A long line formed outside of Mamy Restaurant at noon as usual. Some regulars who came later and saw the cutting-off board at the line could only sigh and leave.
âThere are so many people today.â Amy stared at the crowd in shock as she skipped toward the restaurant while holding Krassuâs hand. After thinking for a minute, she suddenly stopped, and curiously asked the crowd, âI heard that there was a little fool who came to challenge Father today; did Father send him running?â
âWhat an adorable little girl. Is she the restaurantâs bossâ daughter?â Many people were staring at Amy with glowing eyes.
âYes. That is our restaurantâs treasure, Little Boss. The Super Cute and Precious Miss Amy.â Harrison nodded.
âShe looks so cute, and speaks so adorably too. I want to steal her away,â a weird mister said, his heart clenching.
âYou could try, but let me remind you that the bearded old man over there is the Lord of Fire, Krassu, the master of Little Boss. And take a look over there at that magic potion shop too. Itâs opened by the Lord of Ice, Urien, who is also Little Bossâs master,â Harrison said smilingly.
âAhem⦠I am just joking. Joking, joking.â
Everyone was amused by Amy, but their gazes landed on Harris. The little fool she said was most likely Harris.
âAiyaya. What an adorable little elf. It had to be a royal who could give birth to such a beautiful little elf, right?â Harris wasnât embarrassed to be called a little fool by this little cutie. He smilingly said to Amy, âLittle girl, I can see that you have great potential, and are a rare talent meant to be a chef. I haveââ
âScram. This is my disciple.â Krassu lifted his leg to kick Harrisâ butt, and annoyedly said, âHarris, you have become daring. How dare you poach my disciple?â
âAiyoh!â Harris jumped, and ecstatically said to Krassu, âOld Master Krassu! What are you doing here?!â
âMy disciple is here, so naturally Iâm here,â Krassu replied, pursing his lips.
âThis beautiful little elf is your disciple?â Harris was a little astonished. After pondering, he continued, âIâm her fatherâs disciple now, while youâre his daughterâs master. So, what should I call you?â
Krassu thought about it seriously before saying, âScram.â
âOh, so youâre that little fool who came to challenge Father.â Amy looked at Harris with realization.
âLittle girl, weâre of the same generation now. You may call me Little Harris,â Harris said with a smile.
âNo way. You will lower the average looks of us, the children.â Amy shook her head seriously. After pondering, she continued, âPerhaps you should be called âOld Harris who has just regrown his hai
