Chapter 670 - Your Ambitions Aren“t Limited to This Small Restaurant, Are They?
A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
David had traveled to many places and tasted a vast array of delicious cuisine in his life.
Rodu was known as the delicious cuisine capital of the Norland Continent, and he once spent three years there, dining at almost all of the renowned restaurants within the city.
However, in his memory, there was no dish that could compare to the steak that he was tasting now.
The rich wine and the juicy steak combined together in an extraordinarily harmonious manner, creating an incredibly delicious flavor. Furthermore, the sauce was igniting his taste buds as if it were a magic potion.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
David loved wine. Every year, he would purchase a batch of wine from the Buffett Winery. The wine he purchased was inferior to the wine from Scheerâs personal collection, but it was still the best wine that could be sourced in the entire Norland Continent.
However, the wine that he regarded as treasure and drank only in limited amounts couldnât even hold a candle to the wine used to cook this beef.
Just the rich and mellow aroma alone was something that his prized wine collection was completely unable to compare to, and his inner alcoholic had been completely captivated.
When the steak had first been carried out of the kitchen, he had felt that it was a great pity for Mag to use such exceptional wine to marinate beef.
However, such thoughts had since been completely banished from his mind.
Beef of this caliber is the only thing that is worthy of such outstanding wine! Without such delicious wine, this dish simply wouldnât be complete!
Even the best restaurants in Rodu wouldnât use wine of such an extraordinary caliber to cook their dishes, and even if they were provided with this wine, there was no way they would be able to use it to cook such delicious steak!
Who wouldâve thought that such delicious food would exist in Chaos City? It really was the right decision to come here today!
The more David chewed on the steak, the more delicious it became. After swallowing his first mouthful of beef, his taste buds burst into an elated frenzy, prompting him to immediately place another piece of beef in his mouth to fill in for the absence of the preceding morsel of beef.
Next time I want to have a delicious meal, I wonât have to spend the better part of a month traveling to Rodu; thereâs an exceptional restaurant right on my doorstep! David finished his steak with a blissful expression before turning his attention to the other dishes on the menu.
âThat beef was simply far too delicious. Please get me another portion!â
âIndeed! 1,000 copper coins for such a delicious dish is an absolute bargain! The fresh Ironhide Bull beef, the black pepper thatâs worth more than its weight in gold, and the exceptional wine; all of it culminates in creating the most delicious steak imaginable. The wine used here tastes even better than the wine from the Buffett Winery, which is sold for 10,000 copper coins per small bottle!â
âAs expected, Boss Mag never disappoints!â
All of the customers who had tasted the black pepper steak were full of nothing but praise.
Mag wore a wide smile on his face as he continued to prepare food in the kitchen. The joy of having customers praise his cooking was unmatched. All of the customers were more than willing to pay for their dishes, and they felt as if they were paying bargain prices.
Of course, Mag was also of the same opinion.
If such exceptional ingredients were being used to cook such delicious steaks elsewhere, a price tag in excess of 5,000 copper coins would be more than justifiable.
Following the conclusion of the breakfast service, Sally, Yabemiya, and Babla cleaned up the restaurant. Mag told them that he had to meet an important guest in the restaurant, so the three of them went out for some shopping, leaving only him behind in the restaurant.
A lavish horse-drawn carriage soon stopped in front of the restaurant, and Scheer disembarked, looking over at Mamy Restaurant with a slightly grim expression. However, a confident, elegant smile soon appeared on her face as she strode over and knocked on the door.
A short while later, Mag opened the door for Scheer with a smile on his face, and said, âYouâre very punctual, Young Mistress Scheer.â
âPunctuality is a habit of mine. Arenât you going to invite me in to have a seat? I havenât had breakfast yet.â Scheer also smiled as she looked at Mag.
âPlease come in, Young Mistress Scheer. Our restaurant is outside of business hours at the moment, though.â Mag stepped off to the side to allow Scheer passage into the restaurant.
âIf Mr. Mag can serve me a steak as a friend rather than customer, Iâm sure collaboration would kick off with a good start,â Scheer said with a smile.
âAlright, seeing as Young Mistress Scheer skipped breakfast to honor our meeting, then Iâll make an exception to cook a steak for you. Youâll be my last customer of the morning,â Mag replied with a nod.
âYou really are a great businessman, Mr. Mag.â Scheer glanced at Mag with a meaningful look on her face before entering the restaurant.
âI still canât compare to you, Young Mistress Scheer.â Mag closed the door behind him, and said, âPlease take a seat anywhere you like, Young Mistress Scheer, Iâll pour you a glass of water and prepare your steak.â
âAlright.â Scheer nodded as she surveyed the restaurant around her.
This was her first time here in Mamy Restaurant. During Magâs cooking contest with Ricky, she had filled in as a judge, but she didnât get to enter the restaurant on that occasion.
The decor within the restaurant was very pleasant. It wasnât extremely lavish and extravagant, yet the crystal chandeliers in the restaurant lent it a heightened level of sophistication.
âThis artworkâ¦â Scheerâs gaze fell on the artwork on the walls, and her pretty brow creased as she looked around the restaurant. Her furrow disappeared as she turned to Mag, who had emerged from the kitchen with a glass of water, and she smiled as she asked, âMr. Mag, your ambitions arenât limited to this small restaurant, are they?â
âIndeed, I also opened an ice cream shop recently,â Mag replied with a nod.
Scheer faltered slightly upon hearing this before smiling as she said, âYou really are an interesting person, Mr. Mag.â
âAs are you, Young Mistress Scheer.â Mag placed the glass of water before entering the kitchen again to prepare Scheerâs steak.
The steam engine was a big deal; even though Scheer was only 18 years old, she was already a seasoned veteran of the business world, but thankfully, Mag was also well versed in business dealings himself.
Looks like this is going to be an interesting meeting. Scheer sat down at the table that the glass of water had been placed on, and turned her attention to the kitchen. It had been a very long time since she had last felt nervous about anything. She gently wiped her white handkerchief over the surface of the table, and visibly became even more intrigued upon seeing the handkerchief remain completely pristine and spotless.
âHereâs your medium-well black pepper steak; please enjoy.â A short while later, Mag emerged from the kitchen with a plate of steak in his hands, which he gently placed in front of Scheer.
âHmm? The aroma of this wine is very interesting!â
Scheerâs eyes immediately lit up as she caught a whiff of the dishâs aroma.
Mag stood off to the side with his hands clasped behind his back, and looked on in silence.
âThe dish is arranged even more intricately than it was last night. You really are very serious about your cooking, Mr. Mag,â Scheer said with a smile. She picked up her knife and fork before gently slicing into her steak.
Red wine and juices from the meat spilled onto the plate under her knife, and the aroma of red wine became even more pronounced, reaching the extent that it felt as if the cork stopper had just been removed from a barrel of wine, and the aroma was wafting forth from within with reckless abandon.
Scheerâs eyes lit up even further as she placed the piece of beef on her fork in her mouth.
âThis wine! How did you do it? Itâs even better than the most delicious wine from our winery!â
