Chapter 1622 - Roasting The Windows To The Pig's Soul
A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
The preview to the roasted pigâs eyes brought quite a lot of discussion to the customers lining up at Mamy Restaurant. They even started debating whether the pigâs eyes should be skewered and grilled, or just put on a thin net mesh.
However, despite all the discussion, the shocking name of the dish caused most of them to be unwilling to give the dish a try.
Of course, most people were interested in who would order this dish.
Whoever dared to be the first brave soul would definitely be the center of attention.
âFather, why arenât we having roasted pigâs eyes for dinner?â Amy asked with bewilderment as she looked at the table full of food.
âBecause weâre the only ones who want to eat it. If I put it on the table, it might affect the othersâ appetite. So Iâll make one for you after we start our business, alright?â Mag said with a smile. Amy was probably the only one who would unconditionally believe that whatever he made was delicious and be interested in it.
âAlright.â Amy nodded happily. She stuck out two fingers, and said, âI want two.â
âAlright. Two.â Mag nodded with a smile, and put some red braised pork in her bowl.
âThank you.â Amy took a bite off the meat and chewed happily. After that, she ate a big mouthful of rice, making her cheeks puff out adorably.
What a scene of a loving father and daughter. Angela watched enviously as she ate. Come to think of it, she had not eaten at the same table with so many people she knew in a very long time. It was a very strange feeling.
After that, her gaze landed on Irina. She was eating the fried rice in small bites. It was as though there was a soft golden glow around her, making her elegant and beautiful, and making it impossible for one to look away from her.
âYes?â Irina asked with a smile as she looked up and into Angelaâs eyes.
âN-nothing.â Angelaâs face flushed. She lowered her head and quickly ate some rice. Even her ears had turned red.
âI heard the customers conversing outside. It seemed that they were a little afraid of pigâs eyes. I wonder if anyone would order it.â Miya was a little worried. Although she had unconditional trust in Mag, roasted pigâs eyes were really a little too gory for her. She wondered how many customers would dare to order and try it after seeing the dishâs name.
âWhy donât you give it a better name?â Irina put her spoon down, and suggested to Mag, âFor example, bloody eyes, or devilâs gaze.â
âAre those names⦠any better?â Mag rolled his eyes. What kind of dish-naming appreciation was that?
âExploding eyeballs?â Amy suggested as she raised her hands.
âErâ¦â Mag pondered.
âRoasted windows to the pigâs soul,â Anna suggested.
âThatâs a gentle name.â Mag gave Anna a thumbs-up.
The first meal together with Angela ended in a warm atmosphere.
âWelcome to Mamy Restaurant.â Mag opened the door, and welcomed the customers with a smile.
Angela stood in a corner, and watched the customers enter the restaurant.
Although she had been a very part-time service staff member on Carapace Island for two days, she was still rather nervous and excited while standing here. This new job might not be a goal in her life, but it marked a good start at Chaos City.
âYou donât have to do anything today. Just get to know the restaurantâs operation from the employeesâ point of view,â Mag said with a smile to Angela as he passed by on his way to the kitchen.
âMm-hmm.â Angela nodded. She turned around, and went to stand behind the counter.
âBig Sister Angela, donât be nervous. Youâll be even more nervous when you have to do it on your own,â Amy said with a smile with her head propped up on Ugly Ducklingâs head.
âMm-hmmâ¦â Angela nodded. She found it hard to accept such encouragement.
âLetâs sit here.â Vanessa sat at the last table close to the kitchen. From the seat, they could see what was going on in the kitchen through the glass window.
âArenât there any private rooms?â Sean looked around. There was only this hall in the restaurant. Although there were wooden fences around to roughly separate the tables, they couldnât block off all sights and sounds.
He felt a little uncomfortable dining with a group of completely unknown people including orcs and demons.
âThereâs no need for private rooms in Mamy Restaurant. Everyone even shares the tables.â Vanessa shook her head with a smile. She picked up the menu on the table quickly, and flipped it open. Indeed, under the kebab, there was a new dish: roasted pigâs eyesâ300 copper coins/skewer.
What a pity that there wasnât a picture of the roasted pigâs eyes.
However, that might be a good thing too. If she had seen pigâs eyes staring back at her the moment she opened the menu, she would probably have lost all her appetite.
âThis new dish is something to look forward to. I wonder which brave soul would step forward to give it a try,â Abraham said with a smile expectantly.
âI think that the brave soul is right in front of you.â Vanessa flipped the menu around and pushed it to Sean, who was sitting right in front of her. With a grin, she said, âBrother Sean, Iâll order a set of roasted pigâs eyes for you. Youâll have to try something different now that youâre in Chaos City.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI⦠Iâm not keen to try that,â Sean said with a strange expression. Even he was unable to accept roasted pigâs eyes despite being able to hit the pigâs eyes with a bow and arrow.
âThat wonât do. You just promised that you would listen to my requests today.â Vanessa shook her head with a pout. She reached her fair fingers out, and pointed at the roasted pigâs eyes on the menu as she said, âMy request is very simple. Itâs for you to have a skewer of roasted pigâs eyes.â
âIâ¦â Sean opened his mouth. He felt as though he had fallen into this little kittenâs trap. To think she would actually use such a method to take revenge on him.
âI heard him. I can vouch for you.â Abraham raised his hand as he watched the show.
Sean looked at the expectant Vanessa and the smiling Abraham, and nodded helplessly as he said, âAlright.â
âHehe. I knew it, my Brother Sean is the best,â Vanessa exclaimed with joy.
The other customers ordered their food subsequently. However, they seemed to have reached a consensus to avoid the roasted pigâs eyes. They were all waiting for that one brave soul to be the first one to give it a try.
Therefore, when Yabemiya came to Vanessaâs table, there were still no orders for roasted pigâs eyes.
âMay I have your order?â Yabemiya asked with a smile.
âBig Sister Miya, we would like to have a set of roasted pigâs eyes,â Vanessa said quickly.
âRoasted pigâs eyes?â Yabemiya looked at Vanessa in shock.
The other customers also looked over curiously to see which brave soul ordered the roasted pigâs eyes and took the major step out of the culinary world.
