Mai Ge's attitude was: as long as none of you smash up the restaurant, you can fight however you want. Feeling like you don't have a place to vent your anger? No problem, just say the word. If you can get approval from the Gray Temple, he can fund the construction of a ring so that those angry customers can vent their frustrations on stage.
After all, this is a very eye-catching form of advertising, and the key is that it doesn't require paying advertising fees.
"Boss, should we go and persuade the customers?" Yabemia glanced back towards the door and asked with some concern.
"Mia, if you were to go out, would you support sweet or savory tofu pudding?" Mai Ge asked with a smile, looking at Yabemia, who was taking small bites of sweet tofu pudding.
"Sweet tofu pudding is the best!" Yabemia exclaimed without hesitation.
"So you automatically become a member of Sweet Faction the moment you step out the door. How are you supposed to mediate a fight then?" Mai Ge couldn't help but laugh, this girl could be quite adorably clueless sometimes.
"Oh, right…" Yabemia paused for a moment, her face flushing slightly, and looked at Mai Ge, saying, "Boss, if you go out, you'll become a member of the Savory Faction too, right?"
"When we eat, we can choose the flavors we like, but when entertaining guests, we must never show favoritism to any one side. That's unprofessional." Mai Ge shook his head. He had come to understand this point very clearly recently.
"Yes, I've got it." Yabemia nodded seriously. She had to keep the things the boss had emphasized in mind. Even if she wanted to recommend sweet tofu pudding to the customers, she had to resist and let them make their own choice.
After Mai Ge and Yabemia finished eating, he put away the Ugly Duckling's small plate, strolled around the restaurant twice, raised the blinds, slowly opened the door, and, listening to the arguing that rushed in, smiled and said, "The restaurant is now open for business. Welcome."
Mai Ge glanced at the girl in the crowd, who was wearing a long black dress, a black cloak, and a veil. She had indeed come again for the evening. He was somewhat curious whether he would ever see her come for a meal without a veil.
"He just glanced at me?" Gloria looked at Mai Ge, who was standing in the doorway with a smile on his face, and felt her heart beat a little faster.
The busyness of the evening was within Mai Ge's expectations. In order to take care of Yabemia, he consciously slowed down the cooking speed a little. Once Sally starts working officially tomorrow, the efficiency should be able to be improved.
The busyness continued until closing time, even at 9 p.m., many people wanted to come for a late-night snack, but Mai Ge politely declined them all.
For late-night snacks, barbecue skewers, hot pot, and beer are definitely the best choices. Besides, Amy has to go to school tomorrow morning, so she needs to go to bed early.
"Mia, just finish cleaning up the dishes and go home today. We can have Aisha clean the restaurant tomorrow with magic when she arrives. It'll be quick and easy." Mai Ge said with a smile as he watched Yabemia take out a mop and rags and prepare to start tidying up the restaurant.
"But…" Yabemia looked at Mai Ge, hesitant to speak, her expression conflicted.
"Mia, is there something you want to tell me?" Mai Ge looked at her with some confusion.
"No…nothing." Yabemia hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
"Okay, you go ahead with your work. I'll take Amy and the Ugly Duckling upstairs to sleep. They're both asleep. Just close the door when you leave." Mai Ge smiled and nodded, then went over and picked up Amy, who was already asleep on the counter, and the Ugly Duckling, who was sleeping on her lap, and headed upstairs.
"Mmm." Mia nodded, watching Mai Ge go upstairs. Looking at the dishcloth in her hand, she hesitated for a moment, but still wiped the table while clearing away the dishes.
Mai Ge put Amy and the Ugly Duckling into their cribs, then took a nice bath himself. When he came downstairs, Yabemia had already gone back. The restaurant was spotless, and the floor had been mopped with both wet and dry mops, making it very clean and bright.
"This girl seems to have something in her mind." Mai Ge looked at the clean restaurant and muttered to himself. He walked to the door, locked it, turned off the lights, and went upstairs, putting the matter out of his mind for the time being. He lay on the bed and immediately opened the Braised Chicken Experience Pack.
A surge of information flooded into Mai Ge's mind, which he quickly absorbed, a top tier recipe for braised chicken was thus integrated into his memory.
"Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem as difficult as I imagined." Mai Ge pushed open the door to the trial ground, and the darkness behind him vanished instantly, revealing him in a life-size replica of the kitchen.
"A frying pan, a large earthenware pot, and ingredients, seasonings... Hmm, everything's ready." Mai Ge looked at the two new kitchen utensils on the stove, then glanced at the refrigerator, and nodded in satisfaction.
Braised Chicken can now be considered a real dish in the restaurant, and the steps and difficulty level have indeed increased. However, Mai Ge is no longer the novice who didn't even know how to hold a kitchen knife. Moreover, after recovering, his body in this trial ground automatically adjusted to be the same as outside, which was enough to handle all the operations in the kitchen.
"Let's make one serving first." Mai Ge muttered to himself, pulling open the refrigerator compartment where chicken legs were kept, and then paused in surprise.
"System, what kind of chicken legs are these?" Mai Ge couldn't help but exclaim. The large compartment of the refrigerator contained only ten chicken legs, or rather, they shouldn't even be called chicken legs. They looked like chicken legs magnified ten times, with golden red skin. The large compartment was completely filled with just ten of them.
"This is a chicken leg from a level one magical beast, the Flaming Chicken. Flaming Chickens are very common magical beasts on the Nolan Continent. They are quite aggressive, and their meat is tender. They have nourishing, health-preserving, qi-boosting, blood-nourishing, kidney-tonifying, and essence-boosting effects."
"The Flaming Chickens provided by this system are raised on a volcanic island off the coast of Staro, which was formed only ten years ago and is still active. This system has performed ecological catalysis on the island to make its environment suitable for the Flaming Chickens' survival.
The fire element from the active volcano promotes the growth of Flaming Chickens and shortens their growth cycle. Adult Flaming Chickens raised in this environment can already defeat ordinary level 2 magical beasts.
The nourishing effects of chicken have been increased more than threefold. Furthermore, the fire element contained in chicken has an excellent effect on those with a cold constitution, and it also has certain special effects on men. It's a top tier tonic." The system's voice rang out, tinged with a hint of pride.
"Your special chicken-raising skills... I have to admit, you can raise level one magical beasts that can beat level two magical beasts, are you raising fighting chickens?" Mai Ge's expression became a little strange as he listened to the system's explanation. He reached out and took out a large chicken leg that weighed at least three jin (1.5 kg).
The golden red skin looks a bit rough, but it feels quite soft to the touch. The chicken meat is tender yet firm, and its color is indeed much more sturdy than that of ordinary chicken.
