Chapter 1640 - I'll Create All The Trouble I Can!
A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
âJason, I especially made two patients postpone their appointments today. Tell me, why are you urgently looking for me?â Adolphus asked a bearded man sitting in front of him in a horse-drawn carriage.
Jason sighed, and said, âYes, our dear Adolphus is the best ophthalmologist in Chaos City, and a very busy person. Even if I, your good friend, want to ask you out for a drink, Iâll have to book you half a month in advance, and have to go through a rigorous interrogation the moment you come on board.â
âYouâre just asking me out for a drink?â Adolphus frowned. âYou should have told me earlier. I could finish up with those two patients before meeting you.â
âThe conditions of the last two patients arenât even serious. Iâve asked about it for you. Itâs fine even if they come tomorrow,â Jason said with a wave of his hand. âBut if weâre late, we wonât get to drink.â
âDonât tell me the pub wonât let you enter?â Adolphus was in disbelief. He knew the family background of this friend he had grown up with. The other party had always been squandering money in pubs, and was the favorite customer of all pub owners.
âDonât think Iâm lying. If weâre late, we really donât get to go in. But itâs not because they donât let you into the place; rather, itâs because there would be too many people in the line, and you wonât even get a turn,â Jason said with a smile.
âIs there a pub that has such good business in Chaos City?â
âLook, your wife has been keeping such a close eye on you that youâve already become unaware of the recent happenings.â Jason glanced at Adolphus in disdain. âItâs not a pub, itâs a restaurant. Mamy Restaurant. Its business is the best in Chaos City. It has the best reputation. Havenât heard of it, right?â
âMamy Restaurant? Havenât heard of it.â Adolphus shook his head. He looked at Jason suspiciously, and said, âBut didnât you say before that those who drink in restaurants are fools, and you can only enjoy drinking in pubs?â
âAhem. That was back when I was young and ignorant. Who knew that a restaurant like Mamy Restaurant would come to exist?â Jason coughed to hide his embarrassment. After that, he said, âYou have no idea. The food that Boss Mag makes is delicious. That spicy grilled fish is the best food to have with beer, and the kebab is also invincibly delicious.
âOf course, the best part is still their beer. Itâs cold and refreshing, totally thrashing all the pubs in Chaos City.
âDonât even mention the 15-year-old rum that they launched recently. Do you know who made the rum? Itâs the father of rum, Old Sim! Oh my gosh! One glass only costs 1,000 copper coins. With every glass you drink, itâs one glass fewer.â
âMaster Old Simâs 15-year-old rum?â Adolphusâs eyes lit up upon hearing that. Jason managed to win the bid for a bottle of Old Simâs three-year-old rum in an auction the year before with a very high price, and he brought it to Adolphusâ house once to share it with him. To date, he still couldnât forget its taste, so a restaurant selling a 15-year-old brew was just hard to imagine.
âYes. I wonder where Boss Mag got it from. Ever since Old Sim passed away, itâs almost impossible to find, even in the Falk Tribe.â Jason nodded.
âIt seems like this restaurantâs owner is not simple,â Adolphus said thoughtfully.
âOf course heâs not simple. Boss Mag is simply invincible. Not only does he cook well, but he can even cure diseases.â
âOh, heâs a doctor?â Adolphus was shocked.
âNot really a doctor. But I heard that the tofu pudding that he makes can make womenâs skin become soft and glowy, and has a very good scar-fading effect. Even some of the old mercenaries were rid of all their old scars after eating the tofu pudding for around half a month. Their skin even became soft and fair.
âAnd there were even some who started drawing scars on themselves recently so that the newbies wouldnât laugh at them. A couple of days ago, I heard a few mercenaries sitting at the neighboring table talk about their little know-how while having tofu pudding,â Jason said with a chuckle.
âReally?â Adolphus frowned. It sounded just like a scam where street artists would get actors to help them with their ploys. As a doctor, Adolphus hated such people. Not only did they cheat the patients of their money, they even caused the patients to delay their treatment.
âItâs not just skincare. Mamy Restaurant even has a miraculous soupâthe âBuddha jumps over the wallâ. Even if youâre a bald old man, once you drink that soup, your hair will start growing out again, and one bowl of soup only costs 10,000 copper coins.â Jason started getting excited. He looked at Adolphus, and suddenly smacked his forehead as he said, âOh, right, yesterday, Boss Mag launched a new dish: the roasted pigâs eyes, and today some customers said that their eye problems got better after eating that dish. This afternoon, an old man even brought a young boy who had an eye disease to try the dish. I wonder if itâs effective. If itâs really effective, Iâm afraid Boss Mag will start stealing your business.â
Upon hearing that, Adolphusâs eyes widened, and even his voice got louder as he said, âAre you referring to a young boy around 10 years old who has an older sister of around 12 to 13?â
âHm, how do you know? Have they looked for you?â Jason was a little surprised.
âThat young boyâs eye disease is very strange and very serious, so even I donât dare to treat it for him. I told them to look for someone better to help them,â Adolphus said with a grave expression. âBut I canât believe that the old man actually brought them to a restaurant to treat the disease. This is simply outrageous. Such a scam could only ruin the childâs eyes and future.â
âI donât think itâs as serious as youâve said. Boss Mag is a good person, and wouldnât scam anyone.â Jason saw Adolphusâs serious expression and stopped smiling. He asked with a little uncertainty, âDonât tell me youâre going to create trouble?â
âIf heâs going to cheat patients in the name of using delicacies to treat illnesses, Iâll create all the trouble I can,â Adolphus said with resolution.
âHey, this is a restaurant that even the city lord patronizes. How is it possible that heâs a scam? You need to chill.â Jason was a little uneasy.
âIf he can even cheat a blind child, even if the city lord patronizes him, that doesnât hide the fact that heâs a scam.â Adolphus looked at Jason. He calmed down, and said, âDonât worry, Iâm not an impulsive youngster. I will see how things go.â
âAlright. But let me remind you, all these so-called healing effects were discovered by the customers themselves. Boss Mag had never and doesnât have the need to use that as the selling point for his restaurant. He didnât even increase the price of the dishes because of those healing effects. Weâre just going there to drink the 15-year-old rum today. Remember what weâre going there for, alright?â Jason reminded the doctor.
âMm-hm.â Adolphus gave a perfunctory reply, but he was already certain that if he were to run into that young boy again, he had to bring the latter away. He had already brainstormed for the entire day, and there were a few methods that he could try. Even if the boy wasnât able to completely regain his vision, at least it would curb the condition from going out of control.
