Chapter 1416: There Are Also Times When Boss Mag Fails?Not long after, there were already more than 30 orders for the durian pizza. Mag nodded with satisfaction before officially starting to make the durian pizza.
Because of the unique smell of the durian pizza, Miya made some slight adjustments to the customers" seating arrangement so those who did not order the durian pizza would not be affected by the smell.
Although Mamy Restaurant would rarely go wrong with their new products, many customers would still be a little skeptical, and wait for others to try and give their reviews before deciding if they wanted to order it. That would obviously be the safer choice.
“Luna, are you alright?” Vivian looked to her side at Luna, who appeared rather pale. “Is your tummy still aching a lot?”
“I"m fine.” Luna shook her head as she pressed her tummy with her hands. Her forehead was seeping with perspiration. She bit on her lip so hard that it was turning a little colorless.
Luna and Vivian agreed to meet up to shop and eat because they did not have lessons in the afternoon. However, ever since they started lining up, Luna"s stomach had been in pain. It was a pulsing kind of pain, so intense that she could not stand properly.
When they sat down in the restaurant, the pain was still a little overwhelming. It seemed like her period was about to come two days earlier this month.
Ever since her period started when she was 14, she had been having colds and pains, and such symptoms had been going on even until now.
Those few days every month would always be the most painful period.
Therefore, she would always take leave on her period to lay at home with a hot water bottle the entire day. After the most painful two days, she would go back to cla.s.s all energized.
“Why don"t we head back first? You don"t seem quite well.” Vivian helped Luna wipe away her cold sweat with a handkerchief. Both Luna"s hands and forehead were icy cold, and even her expression didn"t look too good.
She knew about Luna"s condition. However, she did not say anything about it just now when they were lining up. Now, after sitting down, Luna really could not endure anymore, and let it show in her face. Vivian could not bear to watch her like that, so she wanted to quickly send her home to rest.
“No. Didn"t you just order the durian pizza? You always love Mr. Mag"s new products. It"s such a shame to leave now.” Luna shook her head and forced out a smile. “I"m alright. I"ll be fine after a while.”
“You…” Vivian felt a little helpless seeing Luna"s obstinacy. She quickly raised her hand to beckon Miya over, and requested, “Big Sister Miya, could you please get me a gla.s.s of warm water? Luna isn"t feeling very well.”
“Alright, hold on.” Miya looked at Luna, who was not looking too good, and quickly nodded before going into the kitchen. She quickly came back out with a gla.s.s of warm water, and placed it in front of Luna.
“Thank you,” Luna thanked. She reached out for the gla.s.s of water, and the warmth from the gla.s.s dispelled much of the chill within her. The pain also felt more bearable.
“Do you feel better?” Vivian asked nervously.
“Mm-hm. I"m fine. I"m already used to it after so many years. You know it too.”
Vivian glared at her, and self-reproachfully said, “I"m worried precisely because I know. The pain is enough to kill you. If I"d known your period would come today, I wouldn"t have asked you out.”
“I"ll sleep when I go back later. I"ll be fine tomorrow,” Luna said with a gentle smile.
Vivian looked at Luna. Her heart ached for her, but there was nothing she could do. Even the doctors did not know what to do about it. They always said it was because of her body const.i.tution, so all she could do was endure the two days, and all would be fine. However, there would be no way of solving it.
Therefore, she was just going to grab a bite and send Luna home to rest as soon as possible
Amy came over to greet Luna and Vivian. After that, she ran over to play with Ugly Duckling.
“Teacher Luna didn"t seem quite well,” Miya prompted as she walked into the kitchen to take the food out.
“Hm?” Mag turned back to look in the direction of the dining area upon hearing that. He saw Luna holding a cup with one hand and pressing her tummy with her other hand, looking very pale. She appeared very unwell indeed.
Mag clicked open Luna"s information, which he skipped, and saw that her condition was getting worse.
Mag thought for a while, and asked, “Did Teacher Luna order pizza?”
“Yes. A 12-inch pizza.” Miya nodded.
Ding!
The timer rang for the oven just at the same time.
“Serve the other customers" pizzas according to the sequence. Pa.s.s this one to Teacher Luna first.” Mag pulled out the durian pizzas from the oven. He had baked eight 12-inch durian pizzas all at the same time in the oven.
“Alright.” Yabemiya nodded. She covered the durian pizza and brought it out, serving them to each of the customers and the eighth one to Luna.
“12-inch durian pizza. Please enjoy,” Yabemiya said with a smile before lifting the cover.
A rush of steam together with the rich smell of durian and b.u.t.ter started wafting across the enclosed s.p.a.ce.
“This smell!” Vivian and Luna pinched their noses upon smelling the weird smell, just like the other customers who received their durian pizzas.
The customer at the side was even more exaggerated. He leaned back suddenly, and fell backward together with the chair. Even when lying on the ground, his face was still filled with horror and shock.
Many customers jumped straight up from their chairs, and retreated away from the dining area to take in huge gulps of air.
“Isn"t that a little over the top?”
“Could it be as smelly as stinky tofu?”
“Would you pay 1,000 copper coins for something that"s inedible?”
The other customers watched on curiously. Some were shocked, while others were gloating at other people"s misfortune, thinking that they"d made the right choice not to be rash in ordering.
“This smell is a little too much!” Although Harrison was still seated, his expression was not very pleasant. He could not really describe the smell. It"s not smelly, but it"s also not the kind of fragrance that one could accept. In any case, it"s a really awkward smell.
“Could… there also be times when Boss Mag fails?” Vivian could not help muttering under her breath when she looked at the pizza, even though she was still seated.
Luna did not know how to start. She took a slight sniff, and said with her eyes brightly lit, “I think it"s alright. It"s a very nice golden brown, fresh from the oven. It looks very appetizing, and when you take a good sniff, it"s actually a very peculiar fragrance that has a tinge of b.u.t.tery smell. It should taste very good.”
“Really?” Vivian released her nose a little and took a little sniff. After hearing what Luna said, it did seem that the smell was not that bad after all. However, she was still a little unwilling to try such a strange-smelling pizza.
“I didn"t really want to eat this, but the smell made me a little hungry. Let me give it a try.” Luna took a slice of the pizza after seeing Vivian"s reaction. She pulled it upwards, and a long string of yellow was pulled out. From the cross-section, one could see the thick durian meat on the pizza that made up more than half of the pizza"s thickness. The smell wafted over together with the heat, and that made her forget her pain momentarily.
“I"m taking a bite,” Luna told Vivian before biting into the pizza.
