A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World (WN)

Chapter 1410: Durian Popularization Ambassador

What? Durian Popularization Ambassador? Mag cocked his eyebrow, and almost blurted it out loud.

“The popularization of every single type of food is a step toward greatness, especially for the kind of food that is as controversial as durian. Making the public accept it is a very difficult matter, but every kind of food is worth to be tried and loved. This would need the ambassador to promote it tirelessly—”

“Shut up. It’s not as if these useless titles could be collected and exchanged for gifts. Why do I need to collect them?” Mag interrupted the system. He was completely uninterested in the useless titles. However, he was very interested in the chance to spin the wheel. He remembered he hadn’t used his previous two chances, and now he could save up for the third to exchange all three chances for a high-end dish.

He had no idea what the system meant by a high-end dish, but it should be rather good if it was on the same level as the ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’.

“A chef’s title represents the crowning glory. How could you measure it with gifts!” the system said severely. After a pause, it continued, “I’ve flipped through the manual. After collecting 10 titles, you could claim a big mystery gift from the system…”

“Hey? Really?” Mag’s eyes lit up upon hearing that. Although he had no idea what was in the mystery gift, since it could only be claimed after collecting 10 titles, the things in it shouldn’t be too bad.

However, these titles only appeared after the hidden missions were triggered, so they were very random. Those he already had were: “You Are A Good Person”, “Guardian of the Base”… etc. He was still far from collecting 10 of them.

100 pizzas within three days. If he introduced it formally tomorrow, he would only have two days time.

Selling 100 durian pizzas within two days…

Mag accepted this mission confidently after some pondering.

At most, he would do it mysteriously. He would only tell the customers after they ordered it.

He wasn’t afraid of the customers making trouble in the restaurant, because there were a bunch of experts present in the restaurant now. They would have to eat it obediently after they ordered it.

As long as it made its way into their mouth, Mag was confident about their satisfaction.

Camilla, who was licking her fingers and eyeing her second piece of pizza, was the best proof.

Whoever ate it would love it. How difficult could it be to sell the durian pizza which inspired lingering feelings?

The five durian pizzas were soon finished. Everyone was licking their lips, still not feeling satisfied.

Mag served each of them a helping of tofu pudding according to their preferences. The lunch was considered completed.

“Boss, this durian pizza is very delicious. Is it the new item that we are introducing today?” Yabemiya asked curiously while clearing the table.

“Mm-hmm… Yes, we’re introducing it today.” Mag nodded. He suddenly remembered that he had to go to the Wind Forest with Irina the day after tomorrow. If he delayed the release of durian pizza to the next day, he would only have one day to complete the mission, and the mission would get much more difficult.

After clearing the dining table and taking a small break, the busy lunch service started again.

“It was so comfortable to stay on the island with the gentle sea breeze, but now I have to come to Chaos City to wait for the incident to blow over before I could return to redeem myself.” Tony pressed his straw hat down, and then leaped off the flying steed. He walked toward Chaos City’s gates with a luggage and a helpless expression.

Damn that Boss Hades. Don’t ever let me see you again! Tony thought angrily, but a hint of grievance soon appeared on his face again, and he sighed. “But I really do want to see him again. No one apart from him could make such an exquisite taste like the crayfish.

“Chaos City, here I come. I hope you won’t disappoint me in the coming few months.” Tony pressed his hat down and hastened his steps. He had heard of a very popular restaurant in Chaos City recently. It appeared in gourmet magazines repeatedly. That magazine, “Vegetarianism”, even created a sales miracle because of it.

He wasn’t very interested in vegetarian food and meat, as he only liked seafood. However, since he had come to Chaos City, he had to go try out that restaurant.

He had serious reservations about the capability of that colleague of his. What was there to boast about a vegetarian dish? Eggplant with garlic sauce[1]. Wasn’t fish a kind of seafood? Why did he insist that it was a vegetarian dish? The threshold to enter the industry was getting lower and lower. What was wrong with this world that even a magazine of such low standards could break the sales record?

He hailed a horse-drawn carriage after he got into the city. Since he was hungry, he straight away told the coachman, “Bring me to your best restaurant.”

“Do you mean Mamy Restaurant? They should be closed if we go there now, and you’re not going to make it.” The coachman smiled.

“Do they close so early? Is this how they run their business?” Tony was stunned. It was only noon now, and he was starved after getting off the flying steed.

“It takes 30 minutes to get to Mamy Restaurant from here, and they close at 1 pm sharp. Hence, we are not able to make it,” the coachman replied.

“You seem to be their regular customer? You know a lot about them?” Tony looked at the coachman with surprise.

“How could that be possible? Their food isn’t something that people like me can afford daily. I could afford to buy a roujiamo secretly after I saved up 300 copper coins. However, that taste is truly unforgettable,” the coachman described excitedly as he gulped secretly. He patted his pocket and chuckled. “I will be able to go and have it again in two days’ time.”

The coachman’s reaction made Tony very curious about Mamy Restaurant. He gave a gold coin to the coachman right away, and said, “Keep the change. Just send me to Mamy Restaurant. Since they’re running a business, they wouldn’t reject their customers. Moreover, I am To… To…”

“To… what?”

“I have towed such a big luggage here with me.” Tony squeezed out a smile forcefully. This feeling really sucked.

“Alrighty. I’ll send you there right now. If they’re closed, I will send you to somewhere else.” The coachman didn’t bother to dissuade Tony anymore since he was so generous. He kept the gold coin and drove the carriage away.

About 30 minutes later, the carriage stopped at Mamy Restaurant. The coachman lifted up the curtains, and said to an almost-dozing-off Tony, “See, isn’t it already closed? Should I send you to other restaurants for lunch?”

Tony shivered in the cold wind. He looked out after he heard the coachman’s words. He could see a big restaurant with an exquisite facade and decor that set off its uniqueness and chicness perfectly. However, the restaurant’s door was tightly shut with a wooden plaque hanging on the door that said: “Closed”.

“I don’t believe that they won’t receive customers who are already at their door.” Tony jumped off the carriage, strode to the restaurant’s door, and tugged on the bell.
