NovelEnglishA Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World (WN)
Chapter 281: A War With The Chamber Of CommerceAlthough very weak, the tree was alive again after 30 years. Xixi could feel it growing inside her belly like a baby. She felt really happy.
She had nourished the World Tree in her belly for several decades before it gave up its life to save hers.
It was practically her baby, and now this baby had been revived; the wounds deep inside her were starting to heal.
Now and then, Lulu picked up some chicken and put it in her rice bowl, but he never took a bite.
“Eat with me, Lulu. We have enough for both of us,” Xixi said with her mouth full.

If it can make the World Tree grow faster, we’ll bring our children here every day to eat it. I’m sure they’ll get strong in no time.”
Xixi swallowed the food in her mouth. “Yeah. It’s so good, and I feel so warm and comfortable! I think I can eat 10 more bowls of rice!” She smiled, and went back to eating.
Lulu turned back to look out through the door, worried and wary. I hope they won’t find us.
Robert and Rood gave a burp together. They looked at each other’s empty bowl, and exchanged an embarrassed look.
“This sweet tofu pudding is as good as roujiamo, Boss,” Rood said, abashed since he had harbored doubts about this restaurant. But, at least he was an honest man. “The two dishes are good enough to take the first two spots. Besides, they are cheap at twice the price!”
“I’m sure they are good, but I think the first and second place should go to savory tofu pudding and braised chicken and rice. Tofu pudding is best eaten savory,” said Robert.
“That’s because you haven’t tried the sweet one, Boss. It’s simply divine. I can’t imagine the taste if it’s savory.”
“And you haven’t tried the savory one, either. The zha cai and little shrimp are mouth-watering.” Robert smiled. “Let’s just agree to disagree and move on from this issue.”
Rood did as his boss said.
“Excuse me, could you bring me the check, please?” Robert said.
Amy walked over to their table with the kitten. “A braised chicken, two bowls of rice, two bowls of tofu pudding, a roujiamo. That will be 1,550 copper coins,” she said, holding out her hand.
Robert was surprised at how quickly she had done the calculation. Even many adults can’t do it so quickly. He gave her a dragon coin, five gold coins, and five silver coins.

When Robert was about to leave, he turned the menu over, and saw several rules on the back: a, no yelling in the restaurant; b, cash only, no credit allowed; c, no fighting and no one is allowed to threaten the owner or any employees, or he/she will be banned for life.
These are some strange rules, Robert thought. Normally, restaurants in Chaos City only have rules like no demons allowed or something.
Robert put the menu down and looked at Mag. He hires a half-dragon, he has strict rules, and he cooks delicious and magical food. This restaurant is one of a kind. He walked out of the door, and then looked back. “If a restaurant that isn’t a member of the Chamber of Commerce took the top five spots, wouldn’t it be interesting?” he asked Rood.
“It would, and if the dishes here can’t make the top 5, I think the food competition will become a joke.”
Robert nodded grimly. “Right. What good is this event if customers don’t trust it? And right now, we’re losing their trust.” Then he smiled. “This Mamy Restaurant may be our way to turn the tables. Customers are no fools; they may force the Food Association to make some changes, and then we may have to start a war with the Chamber of Commerce.”
A war? Rood’s eyes started shining with excitement. He quickened his pace to catch up with Robert who had stridden off.
