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

Chapter 1126: The Princess Needs Me

Mag came back with a container full of water and two steamed cakes made from coarse grain flour. These steam cakes were the softest food that was sold in the breakshop shop. He tested a small piece. Although it didn’t melt as soon as it was put in the mouth, it was already rather easy to people who couldn’t chew well.

“Please eat a little before you drink the water.” Mag handed the steam cake and water to the old lady.

“No, no, no. We only need the water. How can we take your breakfast?” The old lady quickly shook her hands. She only took the water with a smile as she said, “We can soak the biscuit in the water, and we will be able to eat it later. Thank you very much.”

“Yes. Thank you very much, Sir. Just the water will do for us,” Old Jack, too, said with a smile as he twisted open the cap, and poured the hot water onto the cover. Then, he broke the biscuit into pieces and soaked them in the water. The hot water softened the biscuit quickly.

“I have already had my breakfast, and these steam cakes cannot be eaten once they get cold. It would be a pity to waste them, so can you help me eat them please?

“This…”

Old Jack and his wife looked at each other thoughtfully. It would really be a pity to waste such good steam cakes, but they didn’t feel good to accept others’ goodwill.

Smiling, Mag continued, “Actually, I have a favor to ask the two of you, thus I bought you breakfast. If you don’t accept them, then I can’t ask you about that too.”

“What would you like us to help you with, Sir? Please tell us. If we can do it, we will help you,” the old lady said with conviction.

“Please have a seat and eat while I tell you about it.” Mag thrust the cakes into the old couple’s hands.

They could only accept the cakes since Mag wouldn’t take no for an answer.

“I would like to know, how many cleaners are working in Aden Square?” Mag asked the two of them curiously.

“There are 32 of them in total. That’s the number of cleaners present at our usual meeting.” Old Jack pondered before looking at Mag perplexedly. “Why are you asking about this?”

The old lady was also looking at Mag perplexedly. Why was this kind gentleman asking about them, the cleaners?

“Oh, it’s like this. I am the boss of that Mamy Restaurant over there. I think you guys are working very hard to keep the square clean, so I would like to provide you with a breakfast that would warm your stomachs,” Mag said with a smile.

Old Jack and his wife were both looking at Mag in a shock. Normally, the pedestrians wouldn’t even look at them. The restaurants treated them as pests, and would chase them away whenever they got close. That was the reason why they didn’t dare to approach them for a cup of hot water.

But this kind gentleman actually said he wanted to provide breakfast for them?

“Mamy Restaurant? That famous restaurant at the end where there are always long lines in front of it?” Old Jack exclaimed as he suddenly recalled something.

“Oh, that restaurant!” the old lady exclaimed too.

They had often heard people talking about that restaurant during their meetings for the past few days. They heard it came in first for the Delicious Cuisine Rankings, and hundreds of customers were lining up in front of it every day. The cheapest dish in that restaurant cost 200 copper coins, and the most expensive dish even cost 10,000 copper coins for a single helping.

Oh my heavens!

They couldn’t imagine what food that cost 10,000 coppers looked like. It couldn’t be made out of gold, right?

They couldn’t even earn 10,000 copper coins for a year’s work.

“Yes. That should be the restaurant you refer to.” Mag nodded. He didn’t expect Mamy Restaurant to be even more famous than he had imagined.

“You are saying you want to provide breakfast for us?” Old Jack was still asking doubtfully. This was simply too unbelievable.

“Yes. I wonder where could I go to meet your person-in-charge? I would like to talk to him directly.” Mag nodded.

The old lady calmed down fairly quickly. She pointed to an alley not far away, and said, “Our office is on the second floor in that alley. We have our meeting there every day at nine in the morning. Mr Sidka, our person-in-charge, will be there too.”

Mad looked at the direction that the old lady pointed and smiled. “Alright, thank you very much. Please enjoy your breakfast. I’ll see you later.”

“We should be the ones to thank you. This is the best breakfast we have ever eaten,” the old lady replied with gratitude.

Mag bade farewell to the old folks, and rode his bicycle back to the restaurant. It would be the best to talk directly with their person-in-charge for this matter, and it would be great to get a namelist to identify all the personnel in order to prevent trouble. This was to prevent pretenders from appearing.

After all, Mag wasn’t running a charity. He only wanted to help those in need, and not everybody.

…

Long lines were forming in front of Mamy Restaurant as usual. Harold and his family were at the forward part of the line, and he was looking at the restaurant’s entrance expectantly.

For someone who usually skipped breakfast, he was totally enamored with that scrumptious youtiao and soybean milk set meal after trying it at Mamy Restaurant for the first time yesterday.

Of course, the most important thing was that after eating that breakfast yesterday, his stomach didn’t hurt at all for the whole day, and there were no symptoms of bloating and acid reflux, either.

He spent the whole day having fun with his wife and daughter energetically. That feeling was simply marvellous.

Therefore, early this morning, before Doris needed to say anything, he brought them to Mamy Restaurant again straight after he woke up so they could eat breakfast together as a family.

“Father, can I have an ice cream?” Kathy asked Harold with anticipation, pulling his hand.

Harold shook his head with a smile, and said, “Not today. It’s too cold to eat that in the morning. Father will bring Kathy back to eat ice cream again on my next day off.”

“Alright.” Kathy was a little disappointed, but she soon smiled again. “It’s so blissful to be able to have my meals with Father every day.”

“I feel very blissful too.” Harold stroked Kathy’s head. This little one had already grown so tall in the blink of an eye. He had indeed missed out a lot; hence, he would have to spend even more time with them in the future.

“This is indeed a wonderful restaurant.” Doris looked at the father and daughter with a blissful smile on her face.

…

“Mr. Mag, I will have to leave. The princess needs me.” Firis went up to Mag the very moment he stepped into the restaurant. She softly said, “Miss Camilla is able to take over my job now, so even if I leave, the restaurant won’t be very much affected.”
