Chapter 1865 - I’m A Pig If I Lie To You
Chapter 1865: I’m A Pig If I Lie To You
If the morning of Mamy Restaurant’s booth was dominated by the octopus balls, then the customers who surged in at noon in search of lunch joined in the lines to order the stir-fried octopus tentacles and stir-fried octopus in XO sauce.
“Boss Mag is the center of attraction no matter where he goes. He is the women’s favorite. You’d better watch him closely, and not let him fall for others,” Vivian smilingly said as she held onto Luna’s arm, and watched Mag work hard in his booth.
Vivian specially went to Chaos School to bring Luna, who was handling the foundation’s matters, out to the Delicacy Extravaganza for a good meal and relaxation.
“Hush. Don’t talk nonsense!” Luna blushed and pinched Vivian’s hand gently.
Vivian rolled her eyes. As if she had expected better from her, she said, “Tsk. I have heard what they were saying. They were all lusting after him. You might lose him if you don’t take the initiative.”
“You don’t have a lover, either, why do you keep talking about me?” Luna laughed with exasperation.
“Didn’t I just gain a new life? Why should I get a lover? Isn’t it better to have a few more years of fun? But aren’t you very fond of Boss Mag? I just want you to take more initiative so that I can get free meals at your restaurant in the future,” Vivian said seriously.
“All you know is food.” Luna rolled her eyes at her, and then softly said, “Don’t talk nonsense. It won’t be nice if Mr. Mag hears it.”
“Oh,” Vivian answered. She smelled the aroma in the air while she watched the octopus tentacles that were tossing around in the wok. Feeling tempted, she said, “Let’s order all the dishes today. I think every one of them looks delicious.”
“Will it be too much?”
Vivian waved her hand, and said confidently, “It’s fine. Just pass all of them to me if you can’t finish it.”
The lines moved forward very quickly.
Vivian came to the counter where Mag was moving between the stoves in a white chef’s suit, and smilingly said, “Boss Mag, you look especially handsome today.”
Mag looked up, and said to Vivian smilingly, “Miss Vivian, you are also very beautiful today, as usual.” He also greeted Luna standing by her side. “Are you here for the Delicacy Extravaganza too, Teacher Luna?”
“Yes. I came here to keep Vivian company.” Luna nodded. She didn’t know if it was because of the stoves’ high temperature or Vivian’s earlier words, but she was blushing a little.
“What would the two of you like to have?” Yabemiya asked with a smile. They were Mamy Restaurant’s regular customers too.
“Two helpings of small octopus balls, a helping of stir-fried octopus in XO sauce, a helping of stir-fried octopus tentacles, a helping of octopus sashimi, and two small bowls of rice,” Vivian said what she had mentally prepared for a long time.
“Alright.” Yabemiya nodded, and began asking the next customer.
Mag changed to clean woks, and began to cook a new batch of stir-fried octopus in XO sauce and stir-fried octopus tentacles.
The ingredients for stir-fried octopus in XO sauce and stir-fried octopus tentacles were actually a little similar. However, compared to the stir-fried octopus tentacles, which had to stir-fry quickly over open fire, the stir-fried octopus in XO sauce was slowly simmered in the sauce.
The two dishes were done almost at the same time. Mag turned around, and began chopping the octopus tentacle sashimi. A helping of octopus tentacle sashimi was swiftly done. Together with a simple secret sauce, he plated two helpings of octopus balls and two bowls of rice.
“Please enjoy.” Yabemiya passed the packed food to Vivian, and took the money from her.
“Thank you. Goodbye, Boss Mag.” Vivian waved her hand, and then hurried to the public dining area with the packed food.
Luna nodded at Mag before catching up with Vivian.
“Goodbye.” Mag watched them leave before retracting his gaze, and continued cooking.
The next two people in the line moved up. The girl pinched the guy’s waist, and said, “Tell me, did you just secretly look at those two pretty ladies earlier?”
“I didn’t…” The guy was in pain.
“I saw your gaze shift. You’re lying.” The girl narrowed her eyes like a detective.
“Why would I lie to you? I’m a pig if I lie to you.” The man looked exasperated. “Trust is the most important thing between a couple.”
The girl let go suspiciously before looking straight into his eyes. “What’s going on with your dark eye circles? Didn’t you tell me that you went home to sleep after running yesterday?”
“I-I couldn’t sleep, because I was thinking about you last night. Perhaps it was because of that.” The guy’s gaze was shifty.
Mag looked at that guy, who was twisting his hands uncomfortably. He was obviously an old player.
“Really?” The girl looked at him suspiciously, but she was already smiling coyly.
“It’s true.” The guy’s eyes lit up. He raised his hand, and swore, “I will be struck by lightning if I lie to you.”
Mag pursed his lips. If only Ah Zi was here, he would really try to accommodate his promise.
“Alright, I believe you.” The girl leaned into his arms coyly.
“Excuse me, what would you like to order?” Yabemiya asked the two of them after making one round.
The two of them ordered a large helping of octopus balls.
The man searched himself before patting his head, and angrily saying, “I seem to have forgotten to bring out my money bag.”
“It’s alright. I’ll pay first.” That girl considerately took out her dainty money bag, and gave one silver coin to Yabemiya.
“I feel so bad. I will remember next time,” the guy said embarrassedly. He considerately wanted to take the octopus balls that Mag passed over.
Mag simply ignored his outstretched hand, and passed the octopus balls that were covered with shredded seaweed to the girl. He then smilingly said, “Miss, do you think the color of these octopus balls match you?”
That girl was slightly taken aback. She looked at those green octopus balls and then at Mag, who was smiling. She began to ponder.
“Let’s go eat over there.” The guy tried to take the octopus balls from Mag with a guilty conscience, but Mag avoided him again.
“A pig isn’t an honest animal.” Mag placed the octopus balls into that girl’s hands before picking up a few octopus tentacles from the side, and started chopping them as he said, “This octopus has many legs, so it naturally likes to stretch everywhere. Sometimes, you simply need to cut it off.”
The guy felt inexplicably guilty, and wanted to put his hand around the girl’s shoulders, but the girl stepped away.
“I don’t feel so good today. I want to go home first. Enjoy the extravaganza yourself.” The girl held onto the octopus balls, and turned to walk towards the entrance.
