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

Chapter 634 The Food They Make is Definitely Not as Tasty as Mine!

The annual banquet was one of the most important occasions for the Chamber of Commerce. All of its members as well as prominent figures in Chaos City attended the event.

Such a splendid occasion naturally also became an opportunity for women to display their taste in fashion.

If they could stand out among all of the wealthy and noble women who attended the banquet, it would be something for them to boast about for a long time.

As such, the wives and daughters of noblemen and wealthy businessmen would always bring out their most lavish attire and decorate themselves in extravagant ways.

“Luna, which of these 100 dresses should I wear to the banquet today?” At the city lord’s castle, Vivan dragged Luna over to her wardrobe before opening the door, upon which 100 dresses of different styles and colors were revealed.

Luna stood in front of the wardrobe with her mouth gaping open. She suddenly burst into incredulous laughter, and asked, “Have you gone insane? Haven’t you always disliked dresses? Why did you suddenly get so many of them?”

“That’s all in the past.” Vivian raised her eyebrows, and said, “I actually don’t dislike wearing dresses; some things have to be tried before I can decide whether I like it or not. Besides, look at all those women dressing up and parading themselves for shallow vanity. I’m going to redefine what it means for women to wear a dress today!”

“Then why don’t you pick one for yourself?” Luna pointed at the wardrobe full of dresses.

“I don’t know how. I always wear those plain dresses, but those noble women are always wearing gold and silver jewelry, and they wouldn’t take any notice of me if I were to wear my usual dresses. Those women have their heads stuffed full of money,” Vivian grumbled.

“You can’t blame them for that. Young Mistress Scheer is always wearing this red dress, and it looks really good on her even though she doesn’t wear any extra accessories,” Luna said with a smile.

“Don’t mention her; she’s a freak! While we were still thinking about where we were going to play, she was already plotting how to take over the business world! Mere mortals like us can’t compare to someone like her.” Vivian rolled her eyes.

“My point is, dresses and clothes can be beautiful even without excessive embellishment. Otherwise, your best bet would be to craft a dress made entirely from gold!” Luna also rolled her eyes in response.

“You’re right! Why didn’t I think of that?” Vivian’s eyes lit up as she turned to walk out of the room.

“Where are you going?” Luna hurriedly latched onto her arm.

“I’m going to see if the craftsman in the city lord’s castle can craft a dress made out of gold for me tonight,” Vivian replied eagerly.

“With so little time left until the banquet, the most he’ll be able to do is wrap you in a gold cone.” Luna rolled her eyes with exasperation as she said, “You’ll definitely be attracting attention if you wear a gold cone to the banquet, but it’ll be for all the wrong reasons.”

“Is that so?” Vivian’s footsteps faltered as she gave a sheepish smile.

“Let me pick one for you. This dress is quite nice. The aqua background with azure patterns creates a really nice color combination. There are slits running up the sides of the dress as well, so you can show off your long legs and really make those noble women green with envy.” Luna walked into the wardrobe and handed a dress to Vivian.

“Alright, then I’ll wear this one. You pick one as well, Luna. We’ll attend the banquet as the long-legged beauty duo and blind those other women with our radiance!” Vivian happily accepted the dress before turning to Luna.

Luna shook her head and turned her down. “I’m fine with what I’m wearing.”

“No way! You’re an esteemed guest from Rodu, and you have to wear something that matches your status.” Vivian shook her head before smiling as she said, “Also, all of the wealthiest people from Chaos City will be attending the banquet tonight. Make sure not to get wooed by any of those smooth-talking men, but take the opportunity to swindle some money from them so you can buy some goodies for your students.”

Luna’s eyes lit up upon hearing that, and she nodded without any hesitation. “That’s a good idea!”

“Young Mistress, if you want to get to the banquet slightly earlier than the time it’s supposed to commence, then we should set off now.”

In the Blue Suede Textiles Shop, which had already been renamed to just Blue Suede, Gloria had already put on her dress, and was examining herself in the mirror while Mars looked on with a stunned expression nearby.

Never would he have thought that the shy and timid little girl from a few years ago would become such an exquisite beauty. Her radiance complemented this regal and lavish dress to perfection.

Gloria shook her head as she asked, “Mars, when is the latest I can get to the banquet and still be granted entry?”

“Going by past standards, the latest to arrive at the banquet should be President Jeffree and the city lord, and they’ll get there at around 7 pm.” Mars then added, “However, everyone else must get there before that.”

Gloria turned to Mars, and asked, “How confident are you that the guards will let me in even if I get there late?”

“As the young mistress of the Moreton Family, the guards definitely won’t turn you away. Also, I’m really familiar with Charlotte, who’s responsible for catering today.” Mars’ eyes gradually lit up as he looked at Gloria. He seemed to have figured out what she was intending to do.

“Alright, then we’ll get there at 7 pm,” Gloria decided with a smile.

“Alright, I’ll organize that right away.” Mars nodded before quickly rushing away. As he did so, an elated smile appeared on his face, and he murmured to himself, “Looks like Mr. Mag really did teach the young mistress many things. Also, she is indeed more suited to the business world than Lance.”

“Father, are we attending a banquet rather than hosting a banquet tonight?”

Inside the restaurant, Amy was wearing a pink and white traditional Han Dynasty dress. She looked down at Mag, who was adjusting her sash, and posed the same question for the third time.

“Yes, the big sister wearing the red dress from last time invited us to the banquet, and we can have some fun tonight.” Mag stood up straight and nodded with a satisfied expression as he looked at Amy.

Amy’s long silver hair had been tied into a small bun, from which an adorable jade hairpin was protruding. The dress was tailored to perfection, and imbued Amy with a sense of spritely grace.

“Will there be a lot of people?” Amy asked.

“There should be. Maybe a lot of people that we know will be there.” Mag nodded with a smile as he loosened the collar of his pink dress shirt. He had extensive experience in attending banquets like this one. He was wearing a dashing suit which perfectly complemented his exceptional figure and handsome features. With his mustache lending him a sense of jaded maturity, he was definitely an ideal chick-magnet material.

Of course, he had no intention of getting rid of his single status for the moment, but he was still inclined to leave all the banquet-goers with a memorable impression.

“If there’s going to be a lot of people, then there must be a lot of delicious food, right?” Amy’s eyes lit up as her attention was drawn to what she truly cared about.

“Probably,” Mag grudgingly admitted before reinforcing, “But the food they make is definitely not as tasty as mine!”
