Chapter 1115 Every Mouthful Tastes Of Money!
Michael, who was about to take the money out from his money bag, asked with uncertainty, “How much?”
“30,000 copper coins. One bowl of ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ costs 10,000 copper coins,” Mag said smilingly, and flipped open a menu. Under the column of soups, it was written ‘Buddha jumps over the wall — 10,000 copper coins’.
“10,000 copper coins a bowl!”
Everyone in the restaurant was looking at Mag with disbelief.
Even though the food items in Mamy Restaurant were alway expensive, a bowl of soup that cost 10,000 copper coins was too unbelievable?
“Wait a sec… I just drank a bowl of soup that costs 10,000 copper coins? My heavens! Then, a single mouthful costs over 100 copper coins. No wonder it was so delish… Every mouthful tastes of money.” Yabemiya licked her lips and reminisced seriously about the taste of money.
“This kind of delicacy isn’t measurable by money,” Rex praised from the bottom of his heart before he said to Michael, “It’s so kind of the city lord to pay for my meal.”
Michael’s mouth twitched. The one who wasn’t paying was indeed taking it very easy.
“Apart from being very delicious, ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ also has a very nouris.h.i.+ng effect. Its ingredients are all the best of the best. The price is fair and honest.” Mag was still smiling. This price was indeed fair.
He felt the power in his body surge after drinking a bowl of ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’. The body which was already at peak 8th-tier bore a vague feeling that it was going for another breakthrough.
This meant that apart from promoting hair growth and reversion, ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ also had a great promotional effect on a knight’s training.
“Here are 30 dragon coins.” Michael took out 30 dragon coins and pa.s.sed them to Mag. Even though he wasn’t short on money as the city lord, it still hurt to spend 30,000 on a meal. After all, the budget of Chaos City was a little tight recently.
“Rolan, I think we should reevaluate and discuss the policy that waives taxation on the food and beverage industry?” Michael asked Rolan after they came out of Mamy Restaurant.
Rolan glanced at Rex with a smile before saying, “If 30,000 copper coins could bring a 10th-tier powerhouse to Chaos City, I suggest giving financial subsidy to this restaurant and waive the management fee.”
Wisely and the people from Gray Temple were all waiting outside of the restaurant tensely. They saw the city lord and the lord of the Gray Temple walked out of the door, smiling, and the Hairless Monk was following behind them harmoniously. They were all taken aback.
Wisely was twisting a green chain in his chain. He looked at Rex and said, “My Lord, he…”
Michael gestured to Wisely to lower the chain with a smile as he said, “Oh, Wisely, bring Rex to do his release procedures later, and then send someone to help him to fill out his Resident Certificate at the city lord’s castle. From today onward, his sentence is finished, and he is joining Chaos City willingly. I have also agreed for him to join.”
“The sentence is finished and he’s joining Chaos City?” Wisely looked at Michael in confusion before looking at Rex who was standing at a side. This Hairless Monk who had just escaped from the Bastie Prison and was listed as a super felon had his sentence declared finished and got released on the spot. Moreover, he was even allowed to join Chaos City. Wisely felt his brain had ceased to work.
“I will tell you more about the details after we get back. Let them call off the alert and alarm. Do not affect Boss Mag’s business.” Michael didn’t explain in detail.
“Alright.” Wisely nodded and then turned to give the prison guards the order to retreat. This was obviously the city lord’s and the lord of the Gray Temple’s decision, so there was definitely no problem there.
On the other hand, Rolan also ordered the Gray Temple to remove the lockdown.
Very soon, everyone left and order was resumed around Mamy Restaurant.
“What is going on here? They simply retreated like that? They didn’t start to fight, right?”
“That’s without a question. Both the city lord and the lord of the Gray Temple are here. What problem is too difficult for them?”
“I say, did the lords go in for dinner? I felt that this timing is just perfect to have a meal.”
The surrounding crowd was very curious and a little disappointed that the big scene that everyone was expecting didn’t appear.
However, the customers lining up were very elated. They had been worried that they wouldn’t be able to have dinner that evening, but the issue was resolved quicker than they had antic.i.p.ated. When the long line was reformed again in front of Mamy Restaurant, it was also time for the usual dinner service.
“I heard a prisoner has escaped from the prison. It must have been that bald man who just went into the restaurant.”
“Boss Mag is indeed very capable. Even such a big event couldn’t affect his business.”
“This is most probably the lure of gourmet food. There is nothing gourmet food couldn’t resolve. If there is, that only means there isn’t enough gourmet food.”
“In this case, I am very curious what they have in there. Could it be the new item ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’?”
The customers were discussing softly.
The restaurant’s door opened outward. Kra.s.su and Urien walked out, followed by a smiling Mag, who said, “There was a small hiccup earlier. Fortunately, it didn’t affect our business hours. Welcome to Mamy Restaurant.”
Amy went to stand next to Mag with Ugly Duckling in her arms as she clapped the cat’s paws together, and said, “Welcome to Mamy Restaurant.”
The customers smiled from the bottom of their hearts. Little Boss was still so cute. They began to file into the restaurant.
“What happened here earlier, Boss Mag?” Harrison asked curiously when he got to the door.
Everyone began to look at them, and their curiosity was at the peak.
“Do you really want to know? It’s the kind that ends up next door,” Mag replied smilingly.
“I am here for the new item.” Harrison’s expression became serious as he strode into the restaurant with his head held high.
Everyone retrieved their gazes too. Next door wasn’t some good place to be in. n.o.body wanted to end up there due to their curiosity.
“My heavens! Did I see it correctly? This dish costs 10,000 copper coins!” a beautiful elf exclaimed after just a short while after everyone took their seats.
“‘Buddha jumps over the wall’, 10,000 copper coins a bowl!”
The customers began to flip open the menu. Shock appeared on their faces after they read the soup’s column.
“This one bowl is equivalent to two months of my salary,” a young lady murmured as she gulped. She could still ask a few of her girlfriends to share a helping of the spicy grilled fish, but this bowl of ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ was obviously not to be shared.
The extremely high price still shocked a few of the customers. Even though there were still many middle-cla.s.s and extremely rich people among the customers, not many were willing to spend 10,000 copper coins on a bowl of soup that n.o.body had tried before. This price was indeed ridiculously high.
“‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ was really very delicious. That bald grandpa jumped over from next door after he smelled the aroma. He even had hair growing after he drank it.” Amy was recommending it very seriously.
“Give me a helping of ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’!” an urgent voice spoke up from a corner.
