A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World

The extraordinary taste bloomed within Vanessa"s mouth, but her happiness did not last long.

The sourness and spiciness triggered her teeth, and the sharp pain that came immediately forced her to put her chopsticks down as she covered her mouth and frowned.

“Vanessa, what"s wrong?” Abraham asked with concern. He seemed a little nervous. Could there be something wrong with this dish?

“Oh no!” Lola reacted quickly, and anxiously asked, “Young Mistress, are your teeth hurting again? You cannot eat anything too flavorful.”

“I"m alright. I just need to drink some water.” Vanessa shook her head. The sharp pain would happen occasionally since it was too difficult for her to eat only plain food.

Lola quickly walked to Yabemiya, and said, “Excuse me, can we have a gla.s.s of water?”

“Sure, please wait for a while.” Yabemiya glanced at Vanessa and turned to the kitchen. She explained the customer"s needs to Mag, and pa.s.sed Lola a gla.s.s of warm water.

“Thank you,” Lola said gratefully. She returned to their table quickly, and pa.s.sed the water to Vanessa.

Her teeth ache by just eating the eggplant with garlic sauce. That is a serious case of cavities. Mag pondered for a while. It seemed that it was important to educate everyone about brus.h.i.+ng their teeth twice a day. Otherwise, even the n.o.ble princess would also be tormented by cavities. Besides, the customers who came all had varying degrees of cavities.

“Ding! New mission: please help Vanessa with treating her cavities so that she can enjoy delicacies again. If the mission is successful, you will receive a recipe for durian pizza. Mission failure: you will suffer from the same degree of cavities as Vanessa!”

Just then, the system sounded in Mag"s head.

“The f*ck?”

Mag raised his brow. He could not help but diss, “System, isn"t this mission a little too much? Her father and two brothers have been trying to kill me, and they have not given up on that idea yet. I am already kind enough not to put anything in her food. How can you expect me to help her with her dental problems? Are you a fool, or do you take me for a fool?”

“Host, she should not be the one to be held responsible for others" mistakes. That is not logical. Besides, as a true foodie and a kind person, she should be treated with kindness. Let her continue to be able to enjoy delicious food,” the system said calmly.

Mag looked at Vanessa who was gargling with the warm water. He could not deny that she did look like a kind person based on the information provided.

“But I am a chef. As the candidate for the G.o.d of Cookery, how can I s.n.a.t.c.h the job of a dentist? That is very unprofessional. System, where are your professional ethics?” Mag refused to accept the mission.

“My mission is for customers to enjoy their food.”

“No, your mission should be for the host to enjoy himself.”

“Please do not go off-topic. You only have one month.”

“I can treat her dental problem, but you have to give me a contemporary dental kit. Her ident.i.ty alone is enough to make the king hire the best doctor and healing magic caster for her. Since they are also at their wits" end, what makes you think that I, a chef, can do it?” Mag pouted. The knowledge that he had could not allow him to clean Vanessa"s teeth and fill her decayed teeth.

The system fell silent for quite a while before it said, “I can sponsor you a tube of Crest.”

“p.i.s.s off!”

Mag flipped the beef kebab as he looked at Vanessa, and fell deep in thought.

As the only princess of the Roth Empire, if it had been just a simple case of cavities, it would have been long solved by the royal doctors. The troublesome part would be the “abnormal case of long-term decay” that the omniscient door had detected.

Getting a chef to be a dentist. Hmph, this f*cking system can really get things its way. Mag shook his head. He actually had no other ideas other than giving her a tube of Crest.

After gargling, Vanessa felt that much of the pain was alleviated. However, when she looked at the eggplant with garlic sauce, she fell into a dilemma.

The delicious eggplant with garlic sauce was just as she had imagined, even exceeding her expectations.

However, she was unable to enjoy its delicious taste.

The sharp pain from her teeth made it impossible to continue enjoying such delicious food.

Randy looked at Vanessa, and his heart went out to her. He did not have any ideas on Vanesa. He was just more concerned about Abraham"s niece since he had been eating with him frequently.

He still could not forget that sensual middle-aged lady boss. Perhaps he would look for her again one day and eat the noodles she made once again.

“Miss Vanessa. Why don"t you have some soft tofu pudding?” Randy placed his bowl of savory tofu pudding, which he had not touched, in front of Vanessa, with a smile and said, “Try the savory one first, then the sweet one later. That way, you wouldn"t be hungry at night as well.”

“Erm…” Vanessa wanted to reject him.

“Go ahead. He rarely would be kind enough to offer his tofu pudding to someone else. It"s better for you to eat something soft,” Abraham said with a smile and nodded at Randy.

“Your treat.” Randy mouthed the words.

Abraham"s face fell, but the corner of his lips rose slightly.

“Thank you.” Vanessa looked at Randy and smiled again. This time, she did not cover her mouth again. Her black teeth were somehow imperfectly beautiful.

Her gaze was quickly captured by the tofu pudding in front of her. The milky white tofu pudding sat in a small bowl, doused with a reddish-orange sauce, along with some pickled vegetables on top. The faint aroma of beans wafted over, making one feel refreshed.

“How cute.” Vanessa could not wait to try it as she scooped a spoonful of tofu pudding. The spoon cut the tofu pudding out easily, and the hole thus created was quickly filled by the reddish-orange sauce. The tofu pudding on the spoon wobbled slightly, displaying its incredible springiness.

After looking at it for a while, she put the spoonful of tofu pudding in her mouth reluctantly.

The moment the tofu pudding entered her mouth, it melted without the need to chew it. The refres.h.i.+ng sweetness of the tofu pudding and the savory taste of the pickled vegetables and sauce blended together harmoniously. The sauce gave the refres.h.i.+ng texture richness in taste, yet it did not cover the fragrance of beans[1].

The tofu pudding was just like a mischievous elf that toured around in her mouth, gently licking the injured teeth, making the teeth that were still aching feel much better before gliding down her throat.

There were remnants of the faint fragrance of beans, filled with a refres.h.i.+ng taste.

“It"s delicious. What a magical bowl of tofu pudding,” Vanessa said, slightly surprised. The pain in her teeth had decreased vastly. Not only did this tofu pudding not cause any harm to her teeth, but it also seemed to have the effect of alleviating her pain.

The refres.h.i.+ng savory tofu pudding made Vanessa unable to stop herself from taking another bite. Very quickly, the bowl was empty.

“Your sweet tofu pudding.” Yabemiya placed the bowl of sweet tofu pudding gently in front of Vanessa.

[1] For those unaware, tofu is made of soybeans… or rather some fermented soybean milk or something.
