The enticing aroma wafted through the restaurant, and the guests couldn't help but watch as Karl put the shiitake mushroom in his mouth, their mouths watering involuntarily.
"This tastes amazing!"
With a gentle bite into the shiitake mushroom, Karl's eyes lit up. Thick, flavorful chicken broth overflowed from the shiitake mushroom, and the delicious taste burst in his mouth.
It was the unique flavor released by the rich chicken soup and the fresh shiitake mushroom aroma that instantly activated the taste buds, as if they were dancing on the tip of the tongue.
"Although they are dried shiitake mushrooms, but they are not dry or hard at all. They are soft and silky. I gently bit into one, and the unique aroma of shiitake mushrooms rushed into my mind. This aroma not only did not ruin the rich flavor of the chicken soup, but also enhanced the umami of the chicken soup to the extreme. The shiitake mushrooms, which absorbed the rich chicken soup, also became more flavorful. It was a perfect match!" Karl savored it carefully, and couldn't help but think to himself. He swallowed it, and the fragrance lingered in his mouth.
"Compared to this, the shiitake mushrooms I used to eat were far inferior, both in terms of quality and cooking method. Boss Mai is truly a genius, bringing out the umami flavor of shiitake mushrooms to the fullest. If he had launched this earlier, this old man wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble to find shiitake mushrooms all these years." Karl praised sincerely, picked up the chopsticks, took another shiitake mushroom, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly with a look of enjoyment. Then he picked up the rice bowl, shoveled a couple of mouthfuls of rice, and his expression became even more pleasant.
"Gulp..."
A series of swallowing sounds suddenly filled the restaurant. Watching Karl happily pick up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, the guests were all swallowing hard.
If it wasn't for the fact that Karl had been quite well-known in Aden Square for over a decade, and that whenever he started telling stories, the crowds would quickly fill the Peace Emblem area, listening with great interest, and many people would even put gold and silver coins in front of him, but he never accepted them, and after each story he would have people take back their money, and give the unclaimed coins directly to the homeless children.
A person who doesn't care about money at all would naturally not act as a shill for Boss Mai.
Of course, after witnessing him eat a shiitake mushroom for over a hundred gold coins today, everyone understood one thing that it wasn't necessarily that he regarded money as dirt, but rather that those dozen or so gold coins were simply not worth him bowing down to.
"Boss, give me a serving of Braised Chicken Rice."
"I'll have one serving too!"
"I'll have one serving here too!"
The sounds of people ordering food rose and fell, and Mai Ge smiled. The advantage of meeting professional foodies is that you don't need to explain to them how amazing the dish is.
As dish after dish of braised chicken was served, the enticing aroma of chicken broth filled the entire restaurant, attracting more customers to order.
"Excuse me, guest, because braised chicken takes a long time to cook, if you order now, you'll have to wait half an hour to eat. Are you sure you want to order?" After serving sixteen servings of braised chicken, Yabemia smiled and said to a customer who wanted to order braised chicken.
"Waiting half an hour for a delicious meal is definitely worth it, order it!" the customer laughed.
"I'd like to take one serving away, is that alright?" Jergi asked Yabemia. In front of him was a serving of Braised Chicken Rice that was mostly eaten. Although there wasn't much chicken soup, but the wonderful taste made him certain that Miranda would love it. The warm feeling he felt after eating it was also very comforting and nourishing.
"This... I need to ask the boss." Yabemia hesitated for a moment. Although Mai Ge did not stipulate a limit on the purchase of braised chicken, but given the current ordering speed and Mai Ge's cooking speed, the restaurant's customers might not be able to keep up with the demand.
"Braised chicken for takeout, one serving per person. I hope your wife will like it." Mai Ge stood at the door and smiled at Jergi. They had gotten to know each other over time, and Mai Ge knew that Jergi had three sons and that his wife was more than six months pregnant.
"Thank you, Boss Mai. I think Miranda will really like it." Jergi said, looking at Mai Ge with some gratitude.
Miranda had been having a poor appetite and vomiting everything she ate, and she was so weak that she looked like she might collapse at any moment, which worried him a lot. But recently, after eating Yang Zhou Fried Rice made by Mai Ge, her appetite has completely returned, and her health has improved a lot. A couple of days ago, even the doctor was surprised by her health, saying that the baby is developing very well and that if she continues like this, there shouldn't be any problems with delivery.
This was definitely good news for Jergi, whose biggest worry was Miranda's health, and Mai Ge's appearance was like a savior to them.
Mai Ge smiled and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking. After all, Jergi's son was practically a classmate of Amy's, so he couldn't appear stingy.
"The bill, for two people." a demon called out.
"Ten gold coins in total." Sally stepped forward, glanced at the two porcelain bowls and two Rou Jia Mo bags on the table, and said in a cool voice.
"Why don't you smile, waitress? Look how beautiful Miss Mia's smile is. That's how you make people feel warmth and love. Come on, give me a smile." The fierce-looking demon glared at Sally and said earnestly.
"Here are 10 gold coins." The demon accompanying him quickly took out 10 gold coins and placed them on the table. He then dragged the demon towards the door, whispering as he went, "Are you crazy! How dare you flirt with the waitress? I don't want to end up on the blacklist with you!"
"What kind of flirting is this? This is a serious suggestion, don't talk nonsense!" The demon's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he said with a serious face.
"Look at the lewd way you talk, and you call yourself serious..."
"Who are you calling lewd!"
The two demons argued as they left. Sally's gaze lingered on their retreating figures for a moment. A ball of blue-purple light slowly faded from her hand, which was hanging by her side. She picked up the gold coins from the table, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted at the two demons who were about to open the door to leave, "You two, stop right there!"
"Hmm?" The guests all looked on with some confusion, wondering how those two guests had provoked this beautiful, icy elf waitress.
The two demons gripping the doorknob froze, exchanged a glance, their expressions instantly crumbling. They turned around with bitter faces. The demon who had made the suggestion earlier looked at Sally with a smile that was more like a grimace, saying, "Girl, I was wrong. Even without your smile, you made me feel boundless warmth and love. Please let us go, don't put us on that blacklist..."
"You two, please fill out this before you leave." Sally looked at the two of them, her expression slightly nervous as she took out a slip from under the tray.
