Chapter 37


After the last guest had left, it is already 1 . 35 pm . There was a guest that wanted to order one more plate of fried rice, but Michael declined him . The time for lunch is over . He needs to rest, and also cook for himself and Amy . They are both hungry .


“Papa, we sold 24 plates of Yang Zhou Fried rice . We made 10 dragon coins and 44 gold coins . This is awesome! So much money!” Amy happily clapped her hands, and her eyes were sparkling .


“24 plates?” Michael was also surprised . Although he had not stopped cooking throughout the lunch hour, he was still surprised that he had sold 24 plates of Yang Zhou Fried Rice .


The thing that he is happiest about is that the problem of having few customers in the restaurant had been resolved . The guests that ate here in the afternoon are likely to return in the evening . Secondly, if they spread the word of the fine food here to their friends, there should be more customers at night .


Michael calculated it in his mind . If all goes accordingly to plan, he should be able to complete the mission, and need not worry about becoming an invalid again . He heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled at Amy who was happily recounting the coins, “Your performance this afternoon is superb . I will go and cook a plate of rainbow fried rice for you . You should be hungry by now?”


“En En, my tummy is super hungry . ” Amy rubbed her tummy and looked very pitiful as she nodded her head .


“Lunch will be ready soon . ” Michael rubbed Amy on her head, and immediately made his way to the kitchen . Very quickly, a fresh plate of piping hot Yang Zhou fried rice is ready for consumption .


Amy ran to the washroom to wash her hands . Then she dried them with a towel and climbed up the chair . She picked up a large spoonful of the fried rice, looked at Michael, and earnestly said, “Papa, you have busy all day, you must be hungrier than me . You eat first . Then I eat the rest . ”


“All right . ” Michael looked at the serious expression on Amy’s face, and his heart felt very warm . He smiled and ate that spoonful of fried rice, “You eat the rest, I will go and cook one more plate for myself . ”


“En . ” Amy nodded her head . She picked up the spoon and tuck into her lunch with relish .


After lunch, Michael swept the floor and mopped it . Then he wiped all the tables and chairs to ensure that there are no dust or dirt on the tables . Finally, he grabbed Amy, who was chatting to the egg below the counter, and they both took a short nap .


Before opening the restaurant for dinner, Michael and Amy ate first . If not, they may have to wait until 9 pm at night for their dinner . This would be too late for little Amy .


When the restaurant was opened for dinner, Moby was already queuing up outside the restaurant . Harold and Hagard also arrive near the opening hours . In a short while, Conti arrived on his black colour donkey .


Harold nodded his head at Conti, and lowered his voice as he conceded, “I feel that you may kill a dragon yet . I heard that the human’s strongest knight Michael McGonagall will never engage another person in battle outside of the battlefield . Are you following his example?”


“Yes, he is my idol and my aspiration . One day, I will become a dragon slayer like him . ” Conti smiled as he nodded his head . In his eyes, you could see his ambitions .


“Young man, I mean no disrespect! But I have heard these words from at least 50 young knights who came to buy a sword from me . If you really want to slay a dragon and not be eaten by a dragon, you need to practice your swordplay more often . Also, you need to change your mount . Michael McGonagall did not ride a donkey to slay a dragon . [1]” Moby grinned .


“Little Black Mule had been with me for a long time, and is a great friend of mine . ” Conti shook his head .



“In a few months time, I will be going to the Twin Towers Town . I heard that there is a huge evil red dragon that terrorises this area, and is quite active there . I will go there to try my luck… . ”


Michael was cooking in the kitchen, and heard the guests in the restaurant discussing about the past him . He swelled with pride – even though Michael McGonagall had not been in action for years, he is still widely popular among the population .


These may not be his exploits – to be frank, these adventures and fame had nothing to do with him . It belongs to the body that he had inherited . But when he inherited this body, he had also inherited the feelings and memories of Michael McGonagall . Therefore, in some ways, they are talking about him .


When he set off to slay a dragon, his mount was not a donkey . Rather it is a griffin . The one and only purple scaled griffin within the Luo Si empire .


Just as Michael had expected, the business at night is much busier than that of the afternoon . Many customers who dined here brought their friends . As well, some passersby were attracted by the exterior façade of the restaurant . When they saw how much the other customers in the restaurant were enjoying their meal, their curiosity made them order one plate to try .


“Boss, 1 more plate, please!”


“Sorry, it is after the restaurant operating hours . Please come back tomorrow . ” Michael smiled as he saw the last guest off . Then he flipped the sign and locked the door . He heaved a sigh of relief as he leaned against the door . The business at night is much longer than that of breakfast and lunch hours, and he was exhausted . His body is still too weak .


“Papa, guess how many plates of rainbow fried rice did we sell tonight?” Amy looked at Michael as she asked .


“Err… . 40?” Michael thought for a while, then he guessed .


Amy shook her head, and happily picked up coins . “Wrong! We sold 45 plates! Altogether we earned 20 dragon coins and 70 gold coins!”


“Then today we sold 71 plates of fried rice altogether . This is not a bad result . ” Michael was very happy as well . He had earned 426 gold coins today . After getting rid of the costs, he had made 213 gold coins in profits .


“En . ” Amy nodded her head, and looked at Michael with a mixture of hesitation and anticipation as she said, “Papa, your rainbow fried rice is so tasty . The rest of the things you cook must be tasty as well . Why did you only cook one dish?”


Michael was stunned . He looked at his daughter, and quickly understood her thoughts . She is likely to desire eating other food beside Yang Zhou fried rice .


Although Yang Zhou fried rice is tasty, Michael also does not like to eat it for all 3 meals a day – he craved for a bit of variety . Amy should be the same .


“I need several more days before I can come up with a new dish . ” Looking at Amy’s expression, Michael also felt helpless . He needs to buy 3000 gold coins worth of ingredients before he could unlock the next dish, ‘Hamburger’ . Right now, at the current speed, he needs to sell for 6 more days before he can meet this requirement .


“All right . ” Amy looks a bit disappointed .


“2500 Gold coins… . Where do I get so much money?” Michael looked at Amy and was racking his brains to come up with a solution . This is 25,000 copper coins! Suddenly his eyes lit up, “Oh yes, [System], may I create a new dish by myself crowd-fund? ” [2]


“[Master], please complete your task first! If you complete the tasks, you will be able to unlock a new dish . ” The [System] voice rang out .


“Then you repeat the task for me one more time,” Michael replied .


“Task: You need to purchase 3000 gold coins worth of ingredients . Completing this task will unlock a new dish – juicy hamburger . Failure to complete this task will result in a penalty of constitution – 0 . 5”


“That’s right! So which line says I cannot create new dishes on my own crowd-fund?” Michael asked .
