[Beancurds]? Klaus and Julian looked at Amy with puzzled expressions .
After some hesitation, both retracted their killing intent . After all, this was still Boss Mikes restaurant, if they accidentally damaged this place they can kiss their chances of having Amy as their disciple good-bye .
Both exchanged a cautious look, though they would never reconcile their old grievances, the most important thing now was to find the best way to make Amy happy . Once theyve become her master, they could find time later to settle this old score . Moreover, their combine aged totalled above 200 years, no matter what, they still know how to conduct themselves with patience and were still quite alert to their surroundings .
Boss Mike, is this [Beancurd] thing a new product? Klaus looked at Mikes smiling face questioningly . It was actually the first time he had heard this word .
Right now they were having trouble besting the other, under this kind of situation, the choice to be Amys master might well rest in this mans hands . Therefore, the easiest way to win this battle was to win over Boss Mike .
Since Boss Mikes business is always so good, your cooking must be good . I shall have one portion please . Julian was not slow in his reaction either .
Naturally, Mike was aware of these two old mans thinking . He had no intention of selling [Beancurds] today, but since Amy already mentioned it, he also became curious over which type of [Beancurd] Julian and Klaus would favour .
After some hesitation, he said, The [Beancurd] is this our new product, however, we havent started selling it yet . If you wish to try it, please consider it as a tasting sample . We have savoury as well as sweet version of the [Beancurd], which one would you like to try?
Host, the [System] strongly advise you not to let customers eat for free! The [System] does not run a soup kitchen, the cost of ingredients for a bowl of [Beancurd] is as follows the [Systems] voice immediately rang out in Mikes mind .
Cut that out, just give me the total cost, ba . In the future, one of these old guys will be Amys magic teacher, so whats wrong with treating them to some [Beancurds]? moreover, since [Beancurds] are such delicious things, how could they bear to eat just one bowl? I should be able to break even with the second bowl . Mike smiled as he retorted, [System], if you persist of looking at the world with such narrow eyes, your world will become narrow, oh .
The [System] sank into silent contemplation . Finally, a line of words floated across Mikes minds eye: Cost of ingredients for [Beancurd], sweet or savoury: 40 copper coins .
If the cost is 40 copper coins, I should be able to sell it for 200 copper coins per bowl . Mike thought, after all, this was the ultimate [Beancurd], perfection itself . Moreover, women would go definitely go crazy over it, putting too low a price on it will devalue the product and making its effects seems like a scam .
Ill have the [Sweet Beancurd] .
Ill have the [Savoury Beancurd] .
Klaus and Julian both voiced out their choices at the same time, then glared at each other before sitting down at two separate tables .
Oh, they picked different ones . Amys eyes brightened . Daddys cooking is so awesome, sweet or savoury, they would definitely like it, ba .
Sweet is the most delicious, this old wizard certainly has great taste, Abb Mia thought appreciatively as she looked at Klaus .
Very well, please wait a moment . Mike nodded and turned towards the kitchen . An odd expression on his face . Who would have thought that these two guys who never had [Beancurds] before would have such different preference .
The two sat in stoic manner in their own seats, neither seemed eager to get on Amys good side any more . The conditions they gave were fairly similar in value and their magical power more or less similar . Both knew this to be true from their altercation 20 years ago, therefore did not bother to quarrel, choosing to remain calm and expressionless for the time being .
Just what kind of food is this [Beancurd]? Boss Mikes [Yang Zhou Fried Rice] is certainly delicious, and lots of people seemed to like the [Juicy Burger] . Since Little Amy recommended it, it had to be pretty good . It would be wonderful if its something sweet . Klaus looked towards the kitchen with some anticipation .
Recently he had been coming to the restaurant almost everyday, aside from attempting to persuaded Amy to become his disciple, the other reason had to be the beloved [Yang Zhou Fried Rice] . This was actually one of the major reason that convinced him to spend his winter years in Chaos City . He would not be able to eat such wonderful dish once back at Lot City .
Julian looked around the restaurant curiously, though the place had been opened for quite a few weeks, this was the first time he came inside . The decorations within the restaurant was not bad, though of course it was nothing like the splendour of the palace, this type of design with its lack of frou frou-ness actually suited his taste better .
His eyes eventually fell upon the menu, Julian remembered what Amy had said about wanting him to pay for her meals at the restaurant, and set the birdcage down . He picked up the menu and studied it with shocked eyes . Who would have thought that such a grand looking menu only had two lines of dishes on it, when his eyes made their way over the pricing, his expression became even weirder .
Just one portion of [Yang Zhou Fried Rice] cost 600 cooper coins, one [Juicy Burger] cost 300 copper . The potions mixed by him only sell for 10 gold coins per bottle, which couldnt even buy him two portions of [Yang Zhou Fried Rice] .
Could it be possible that they are all in this to trick me? Julian eyed Amy for a moment . He had seen the lines forming everyday in front of this restaurant, and thought that they probably served all kinds of delicious food at a reasonable price . Which would explain why the restaurant would suddenly gain so many loyal customers in so short a time . To think that this restaurant actually only has 2 dishes, and expensive ones at that, was really unexpected . Just how did it attract so many people with this kind of combination?
Whatever, if I can gain a good disciple, whats a few thousand copper in terms of food cost . I can always sell some high level potions to cover the cost . Julian quickly dismissed the matter from his mind and looked towards the kitchen . A fresh and delicious fragrance was floating through the air . Alongside the gentler scent of beans, a heavier smell of meat permeated its way to him . The fragrance of meat was completely different from other type of cooked meat he knew, and somehow it piqued his interest on whats coming .
Miao miao~ Little Ugly Duckling eyed the cage set down by Julian with eager eyes . He licked Amys hand and mewed a few more times at the cage .
Ugly Duckling, you want to play with Charcoal? Amy asked in a low voice .
Little Ugly Duckling immediately nodded, happily clawing the air with its little claws .
Come at us if have you the guts, ah! Charcoal Black stared back at Ugly Duckling a little agitatedly .
Miao miao! Ugly Duckling got even more excited .
Okay, you two play nice, alright? Amy bent down to let Ugly Duckling onto the floor after that little warning .
Sweet Princess Amy, would you tuck me in your arms, just for a little while? Charcoal Black eyed the lithe and graceful body as it prowled over . When Little Ugly Duckling bared its fangs, he grew even more terrified and pleaded Amy for sanctuary .
No way, youre completely featherless, I dont want to . Amy shook her head with immediate rejection .
[Sweet Beancurd] and [Savoury Beancurd], please have a taste . Mike came out of the kitchen with two bowls of [Beancurds] and placed them in front of Klaus and Julian with a smile .
