After Amy finished speaking, she looked away, took another spoonful of tofu pudding, ate it, and happily swayed her body from side to side. She put down the spoon, picked up the Rou Jia Mo in front of her with both hands, took a bite, and made a slight crunching sound. She ate a bite of savory tofu pudding and a bite of Rou Jia Mo with great relish, her cute little face full of a happy smile as she enjoyed the food, completely ignoring the guests watching from the side.
"This is acceptable?" Although he felt annoyed, but the bald uncle couldn't help but swallow hard as he watched Amy eat the tofu pudding. Watching Amy eat was pure torture for his stomach.
"Is it really that delicious?" the guests wondered to themselves, somewhat doubting whether Mai Ge was deliberately letting Amy eat it for them to see, but their eyes were glued to the food, and they were swallowing hard.
"It looks like Savory Tofu Pudding and Rou Jia Mo go really well together."
"Boss, I'd like to add another Rou Jia Mo."
"I can't take it anymore, I really want a Rou Jia Mo too, I'll add one here too!"
Finally, someone couldn't resist and raised their hand to ask for another Rou Jia Mo.
Like a domino effect, many people also ordered Rou Jia Mo. What started as a one point expectation suddenly soared to a ten points expectation after seeing Amy's sweet and delicious eating! It was simply irresistible!
"Look, even the Little Boss likes savory tofu pudding! That means savory tofu pudding tastes better than sweet tofu pudding!"
"This is a partial victory for the Savory Faction! Those Sweet Faction members, think about it: can you eat sweet tofu pudding with a Rou Jia Mo? That combination is simply inhuman!" a young man said excitedly.
"Sorry, I'm not human. I just like sweet things!" A demon beside him glanced at him with red eyes, devoid of any emotion.
"You...you really aren't human." The young man choked, unable to find any words to refute him.
After seeing the real tofu pudding, the bored customers waiting in line started arguing again. However, there was only one queue in the restaurant, with the sweet and savory factions clashing, which only fueled the debate.
"Is this tofu pudding? It looks really delicious, but it should be savory, right?" Sally's gaze was also fixed on Amy and the tofu pudding in front of her. She shifted her gaze to the side and looked at the bowl of sweet tofu pudding. Her eyes lit up. "Sweet... Is the golden red syrup made from honey? It smells so sweet, even more concentrated than the honey freshly extracted from the Wind Forest."
"If it's sweet, it must be delicious!" Sally immediately became excited. She loved all kinds of sweet things, but the female chef at home didn't know how to make many of them, and most of them didn't taste as good as honey.
"That Rou Jia Mo looks pretty good, but it's too greasy. It's probably not something I like." Sally glanced at the Rou Jia Mo in Amy's hand and immediately rejected it in her mind. Her gaze fell on the menu on the table, and seeing the price of 200 copper coins per serving, her expression suddenly became somewhat conflicted.
A serving of Yang Zhou Fried Rice costing 600 copper coins would require her to save a month's salary, a serving of tofu pudding would take almost half a month more.
Although elves have long lifespans, but if she spends all her monthly salary on a single gourmet meal, wouldn't that kind of life be quite different from her original intention of running away from home after making such a big decision?
Before leaving, she had confidently assured herself that with the dozen or so dragon coins she carried, she could travel the entire Nolan Continent like the princess of yesteryear.
She'd only arrived at her first stop, Chaos City, and was already stuck in a tiny restaurant. She'd worked hard for over ten days, but the money she earned wasn't even enough for a serving of Yang Zhou Fried Rice.
But Yang Zhou Fried Rice was just so delicious! And now it seemed like she could also have some delicious tofu pudding! At this rate, she'd probably never leave Chaos City in her lifetime.
A sudden sense of powerlessness washed over Sally. Dreams seemed to be slipping away from her, and only one voice echoed in her mind: "Work, Sally! Work, Sally..."
"Amy looks so cute eating this! Savory tofu pudding must be delicious!" Luna's eyes lit up as she looked at Amy, but she quickly frowned with some concern: "But if it's paired with a Rou Jia Mo... with so many people around, wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing if I couldn't help but make a sound?"
"Guests, what would you like to order?" Yabemia approached, smiling at Luna and Sally. Her gaze held a hint of admiration. Although she had seen many female customers at the restaurant these past few days, but none possessed their elegance and poise.
Having grown up amidst the grease and grime of the kitchen, Yabemia most admired girls like them, with their elegant demeanor and delicate, fair hands. Looking down at her own hands, covered in scars and calluses, she subconsciously hid them behind the menu.
"I'd like a serving of Yang Zhou Fried Rice …" Sally looked up at Yabemia, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes. She remembered that the restaurant didn't have any waiters when she came last time. This half-dragon girl must have become a waiter later. Since she works at the restaurant, she should be able to eat at least a plate of Yang Zhou Fried Rice everyday, right?
In comparison, the vegetable noodles she ate everyday seemed so pitiful. She had to work hard for a month just to afford a serving of Yang Zhou Fried Rice, yet it was only someone else's work meal. It was truly pathetic.
"And a serving of sweet tofu pudding!" Sally paused, her voice rising several decibels as if she had made a great decision.
"Okay, please wait a moment, Miss. And you?" Yabemia nodded, then turned to Luna and asked.
"I'd like a savory tofu pudding, and…" Luna glanced at the nearly finished Rou Jia Mo in Amy's hand, recalling the extraordinary feeling it brought her that day, and nodded vigorously, "One Rou Jia Mo."
"Okay." Yabemia nodded, then asked the two ladies next to her what they wanted to order, and continued walking towards the next table.
"As long as I work hard, I can definitely earn it back!" Sally clenched her fist, nodded vigorously, glanced towards the kitchen again, and muttered to herself, "I wonder if this boss still needs employees. If so..."
"If live streaming existed in this world, Amy could probably become a wildly popular food vlogger, right?" Mai Ge glanced at Amy, who was enjoying her food with great relish under the watchful eyes of the crowd. He scooped up a spoonful of scalding hot syrup and slowly poured it over bowls of tofu pudding, a proud smile on his face. Moreover, having Amy taste the new dishes first to show everyone was indeed a very good method.
"Take them out, half sweet and half savory, serve them at the same time. Remember, don't recommend any particular flavor to the guests." Mai Ge said with a smile, watching Yabemia enter the kitchen.
"Okay." Yabemia nodded obediently, not questioning Mai Ge's words, and picked up the tray beside her, carrying out two bowls of sweet and two bowls of savory.
After putting down the large bowl she had just licked clean, Amy let out a burp and stuck out her tongue to lick the little bit of syrup still on her nose, but she couldn't reach it. After trying for a while, she had to give up. She looked up at the guests who were still staring at her and said seriously, "Actually, I think both savory and sweet tofu pudding are delicious."
Seeing Amy's sincere expression, the crowd quieted down a bit, but their expressions still betrayed their dissatisfaction. Amy liked both flavors, so she simply voted for both, which had no impact on the dispute.
"Also, no making noise in the restaurant, okay? You'll disturb other guests' meals if you're like this. Be good when you're in the restaurant, okay?" Amy put down her spoon, stretched out her delicate white hand, and seeing the gazes directed at her, a ball of blue purple flame suddenly shot out from her palm, abruptly shrinking into a small fireball the size of a fist in her hand. She warned seriously, "Otherwise, Daddy will be unhappy, and then I'll get angry and set you on fire! If one of my fireballs comes down, you might be cooked."
"Hello, your tofu pudding." Yabemia just came out of the kitchen and delivered bowls of tofu pudding to each customer in the order they were ordered.
