Chapter 1636: I Am A Chef

“Serum T? Are you sure that’s not a virus?” Mag raised his brow. He was once again shocked by the system.

He didn’t think that roasted pig’s eyes could really cure ophthalmological diseases!

Moreover, this effect was because this type of wild boar was roasted for a very long time by an active volcano.

The best part was that the effects would be better after being heated. Wasn’t this made for roasting in that case?

The system did not reply. However, Mag could at least ascertain one thing, and that was that the roasted pig’s eyes did have healing properties for ophthalmological diseases. In that case, he might have an additional signboard that said “Saint of Ophthalmology”.

“Boss Mag. You’re not certain too?” Christopher asked worriedly.

Many other customers also looked at Mag. Not all of them had eye problems, but they had friends or family of a certain age who would more or less have blurry vision, and if roasted pig’s eyes did have that healing effect, they had to bring them over for a try.

“I am a chef, and the effects of dishes might be different from individual to individual. I will not increase the price of the dish because of that, and at the same time, I also cannot guarantee its effects. If a dish could bring customers other benefits other than its taste, I would be very happy too,” Mag said with a smile.

It was a very politically correct answer, but that was what Mag truly felt.

Even if tofu pudding, with its beautifying effects, was sold at 5,000 copper coins a set, there would still be countless rich women who would line up to buy it. Likewise, ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ had anti-hair-loss properties, and even if it was sold at 100,000 copper coins a bowl, he wouldn’t be worried that no one would buy it. Hair transplantation would cost way more than that.

However, Mag did not want to go for the profits.

He felt that he was a chef, after all, and his job was to make the dishes taste good.

As for their special effects, they came with the ingredients that the system provided, and all these were already included in his cost price, so he would not want to earn anything more.

“So can it cure eye problems or not?” Christopher growled. He felt as though Boss Mag had answered the question, but not really answered the question.

“Please come in. We can let him have a try.” Mag looked at the young ma with a smile. He was in his prime, and he should not be seeing nothing.

Moreover, the young lady beside him didn’t seem very healthy, either. Malnutrition over a long period of time had made the different aspects of her bodily functions light up in red. If they were not improved, she might collapse very easily.

“Alright.” Christopher brought Lucy and Darren into the restaurant, and found a seat for them.

After welcoming the guests, Mag turned to walk into the kitchen.

“Boss, can the roasted pig’s eyes really cure the young man’s eyes? It looks rather serious,” Miya asked softly as she followed beside Mag, looking empathetic.

“I can’t guarantee that. We’ll know once he eats it.” Mag shook his head. The system only said that it could heal many ophthalmological diseases, but did not say if it could cure toxic cataracts caused by a virus. He did not dare to make any presumptions as to whether it would have an effect on the young man’s eyes.

“Take the customers’ orders. Our business hours have started again,” Mag said with a smile as he entered the kitchen.

“Mm-hm,” Miya answered, and turned to walk towards Urien and Krassu’s table.

“What a beautiful restaurant!” Lucy sat opposite of Christopher with Darren. She looked around carefully as her eyes shone brightly. This was the most beautiful restaurant she had ever seen.

“Big Sister, are we in a restaurant now?” Darren asked softly as he leaned over to Lucy.

Although he was silent just now, he was listening very seriously, but he still didn’t understand why he was at a restaurant to cure his eyes. What’s with roasted pig’s eyes? Are roasted pig’s eyes really edible?

Darren suddenly lost his vision at the age of eight, and before that, he had been going hunting with his grandfather often.

His grandfather was the best hunter in their village. He could hit a wild boar’s eye in one shot, and the shot boar would not be able to run far before collapsing.

Even the villagers would not eat wild boar’s eyes.

“Yes. Mister Christopher brought us to this very beautiful restaurant. It’s just like… just like…” Lucy thought very carefully. Such a beautiful restaurant had never existed in their world before, and that made her anxious all of a sudden, trying to find the right words to describe it.

“Just like the starry sky on a cloudless summer day, shimmering and very comfortable,” Christopher continued with a smile.

“The starry sky?” Darren smiled. The most beautiful image to him was the clear, starry sky. His grandfather had said that in that vast and dark night sky, amongst the shining stars, one of them would be him, watching them from the sky.

“What would you like to order?” Yabemiya asked with a smile as she walked over.

“I would like 10 skewers of roasted pig’s eyes and two plates of Yangzhou fried rice. These children must be hungry.” Christopher flipped open the menu, glanced at the old scar between Lucy’s brows, and added, “And two sets of sweet tofu pudding, one set of husband and wife lung slice, and a glass of rum.”

“Alright. Please hold on for a moment.” Miya nodded, and turned to walk to another table.

“What’s husband and wife lung slice?” Darren asked Lucy softly with a hint of fear.

“I don’t know, either.” Lucy shook her head. It sounded quite scary. Could the owner of this restaurant be a strange person? There were roasted pig’s eyes and a husband and wife lung slice.

Christopher saw the fear in the two young fellows, and smilingly explained, “Husband And Wife Lung Slice is actually made from different parts of a cow. Boss Mag is a very interesting person, so he also used interesting names.”

When the two heard the explanation, they were relieved. Wild cows weren’t easy animals to hunt, but every time they managed to catch one, it could last them for a very long time. They had not eaten beef ever since their grandpa passed away. The mention of beef made their eyes shine brightly.

“Let Darren have a few skewers of roasted pig’s eyes later. It might help with his eyes,” Christopher said with a smile.

“Mm-hmm.” Lucy nodded. Although roasted pig’s eyes sounded quite scary, if it could help Darren’s eyes, they had to give it a try.

Darren pressed his lips together slightly, and remained silent.

“Your Yangzhou fried rice.” Not long later, Miya came over with two plates of Yangzhou fried rice, and put them in front of Darren and Lucy.

“Wow.” Lucy’s eyes lit up. The fresh green spring onions were scattered on the fried rice that was like a vibrant dash of rainbow. The smell of eggs wafted over together with the strong refreshing fragrance. It was a bowl of fried rice that looked and smelled good. It was very enticing, and looked just like a rainbow chopped up into tiny pieces.

“This smells so good.” Darren wiggled his nose. He instinctively leaned forward. The heat and fragrance wafted over, and that made him swallow.

He really wanted to see what the thing in front of him was, and why it could smell so enticing.

“You can have this. Darren and I can just share one plate.” Lucy quickly came back to her senses, and pushed the plate of fried rice that was in front of her to Christopher. After that, she picked up a spoon to feed Darren.
