Chapter 486 - Let’s Split It 50/50
A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
Rage! That was the emotion that had been instantly ignited in Blourâs heart. Such supreme-grade tea leaves were being used to make dessert?! It was an absolute farce!!
He was so worked that he almost reverted back to his own voice. Thankfully, he managed to catch himself in the instant before he spoke, so his voice sounded a little strange, but it was still a feminine voice.
However, his sudden interrogation drew the attention of all of the customers in the restaurant. Was this beautiful elf trying to stir up some trouble? It had been a long time since Mamy Restaurant had last seen a troublemaker.
Constantine was also looking at Blour with a concerned expression. Mamy Restaurant had many rules, and one of them was that speaking in a loud voice was prohibited. As such, Blourâs violent outburst could incur some consequences.
Amy looked up at Blour with her mouth slightly agape. She was unable to comprehend why this beautiful big sister had suddenly flown into a rage. Besides, why was she criticizing her father?
Yabemiya was also at a loss for what to do as she stared at the enraged Blour. She didnât even know why Blour was so angry.
Sally looked at the mocha ice cream in Blourâs hand, and she could roughly guess why Blour was so enraged.
Mag emerged from the kitchen with two plates of Yangzhou fried rice. He placed the two dishes in front of customers whoâd ordered it, and smiled as he asked, âIs there a complaint you would like to raise against the restaurant?â
âYou basâ You biscuit!â Blour was just about to launch into a violent tirade when he realized that he had to maintain his image as a graceful gentlewoman, so he could only revert to hurling a much milder insult.
Argh⦠So embarrassing. Blour wanted to facepalm as soon as he said that.
âHmm?â Mag faltered upon hearing that. This guy sure was trying hard to maintain his image. That âinsultâ almost had him bursting into laughter.
Sheâs so cute even when sheâs angry; I really lucked out today! Constantine looked at Blour with an intoxicated expression.
âPffft-â Yabemiya couldnât help but burst into laughter. This beautiful elf sure was amusing. All of the onlooking customers also burst into laughter. Her way of insulting people was hilarious, and one simply couldnât bring themselves to be angry at her.
âBig Sister Shirley, whatâs a biscuit? Is it some type of food?â Amy asked.
âA biscuit is a type of dessert.â Blourâs expression was slightly awkward, but he still provided an explanation to Amy. He cleared his throat to alleviate his embarrassment as he grumbled, âHow can you use such premium quality tea leaves to make dessert? Does your conscience not ache? Do you know how precious these tea leaves are? Even the spring tea of Vic Mountain canât compare to this
tea!â
âIâm aware of that.â Mag nodded with a smile. These tea leaves were produced by the system, and they were the best of the best. Even back in his past life, when his father had offered him all types of renowned teas, he had never tasted such superb tea.
âThen how could you waste these tea leaves like this?!â Blour had initially thought that Mag was simply unaware of how precious these tea leaves were, so he was even more infuriated upon learning the fact that Mag was fully aware of this yet still chose to make these tea leaves into dessert.
âItâs exactly because of this that these tea leaves have been incorporated into this restaurantâs dessert. Each and every one of my customers deserve nothing less than the best; that is my mantra when picking out ingredients. This is the best tea leaf I could find, so I used it to make mocha ice cream. Every other ingredient used in this restaurant is of just as high a caliber,â Mag offered a calm and collected response in the face of Blourâs fury as if he were elaborating on something very normal.
Could that possibly be true? All of the ingredients used in this restaurant are of the same caliber as these tea leaves? Magâs eyes were clear and bright, and they seemed to hold some sort of magical power that convinced others to believe him. Thinking back to the Yangzhou fried rice he had just had, Blour discovered that all of the ingredients within really were of a far better quality than anything he had had in the past.
How can this guy remain so composed in the face of my stunning beauty? How could there be a man in this world thatâs immune to my charms? Could it be⦠that he likes men?! Blour was starting to be led astray by his thoughts.
âNo wonder the food from Mamy Restaurant is so delicious; Boss Mag has been putting so much effort into the ingredients. Itâs really rare to see a restaurant owner dedicating so much to their cooking. These dishes are well worth the price,â Harrison praised.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIndeed. Just the ingredients alone should be more expensive than the prices heâs charging. I wonder where Boss Mag sourced so many premium ingredients from. In particular, itâs really hard to get your hands on good quality fish, prawn, and shiitake mushrooms in Chaos City.â Gjerj nodded with a curious expression.
The customers who were initially hesitant about purchasing dishes due to their tight budgets immediately made up their minds upon hearing that. They suddenly felt as if several hundred copper coins for each dish was an absolute bargain.

âIâll admit that you have a point there; theyâre your tea leaves, so you can do whatever you want with them.â Blour looked at Mag with a serious expression as he asked, âBut do you sell these tea leaves on their own?â
Everyone turned to Blour with a hint of surprise on their faces. They didnât think that âsheâ would back down so easily.
âSorry, Iâm not selling the tea leaves.â Mag shook his head in response. Truth be told, he didnât even have any tea leaves. The system had only provided him with mocha, which had already been ground into powder, so he didnât have any tea leaves to sell.
âState your price. Even if itâs twice as expensive as the ice cream, Iâll take it, and Iâll take as much as you have to offer.â Blour was unwilling to give up on such premium tea leaves. Furthermore, his heart throbbed with pain upon seeing tea leaves of such a phenomenal caliber being used as dessert flavoring.
âThe green tea is only used for making mocha ice cream. I do not have a large quantity of the tea leaves, so Iâm not selling them.â Mag shook his head in response. The price being proposed wasnât tempting to him in the slightest. He then continued in a cautionary voice, âPlease be quiet in the restaurant. Raising your voice for no reason will disrupt other customers and compromise their dining experience. If you disregard this rule, you will be blacklisted and banned from the restaurant.â
â10 times! Iâll pay 10 times the price to buy your tea leaves!â Blour gritted his teeth and made another bid.
âSystem, letâs sell tea leaves instead! Heâs paying 10 times the price!â Magâs expression remained indifferent, but he was already screaming internally.
âPlease remember who you are: you are a man destined to become the God of Cookery. Are you going to allow yourself to be shaken by such a paltry amount? Money cannot buy your dignity,â the system gave a heart-wrenching response.
âIâll split it fifty-fifty with you,â Mag cut it off.
âErr⦠Well, itâs not entirely non-negotiable. The production of tea leaves this year is actually pretty good, so it wonât hurt to sell about 15 to 25 kilograms.â
