A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 1596: Bye-bye

“Why are there so many people early in the morning? And they’re all holding bottles and cans in their hands. Are they here to cause trouble?” Hannah exclaimed when she arrived at the restaurant early in the morning with Miya and the rest, and saw the long line outside.

“Yeah, they’re all foreign faces. Usually, only our regulars would come so early in the morning to line up for breakfast.” Miya was equally bewildered at such a sight.

Elizabeth frowned a little. She looked at the bottles and cans in their hands, and coldly said, “They reek of alcohol. They are probably here for the rum.”

“Looks like the rum that Hannah made has already gained some reputation. It’s true that good wine needs no bush,” Miya said with a smile.

Hannah was a little proud when she heard Miya’s words. It seemed like there was quite a large customer base for rum in Chaos City. However, she was quickly worried as she said, “But Boss doesn’t sell rum in the morning, am I right? Then they…”

“Yes, we do not sell alcohol in the morning.” Miya nodded. She quickly made her way to the steps at the restaurant’s door with a smile, and told the people in the line, “Hello, I am a service staff member from Mamy Restaurant. This is a gentle reminder for new customers. For Mamy Restaurant’s morning operating hours, we only serve youtiao, soybean milk, Yangzhou fried rice, and other food on the breakfast menu. We do not sell alcohol, spicy grilled fish, kebab, and other food from the lunch and dinner menu. Please take note.”

“They don’t sell alcohol in the morning?”

Those customers waiting for the restaurant to open to buy alcohol flipped when they heard the announcement.

Most of them were first-timers at Mamy Restaurant. They’d heard of the restaurant, but they only knew that they had to line up, and that there were many rules and restrictions. What they did not expect was that the restaurant even changed the menu based on the time of the day.

An old man came up to the front, and earnestly said to Miya, “Miss, look, most of us are first-timers, and we don’t know the rules of the restaurant. We’ve come so early to line up in the cold for almost an hour just for the rum. Why don’t you just give us some leeway, and let us have a glass?”

“Yeah. We’re here early in the morning just for the rum. Now you’re telling us you don’t sell the rum, are you toying with us?” a big, burly man reeking of alcohol complained impatiently.

“That’s right. Just sell us a glass! If it wasn’t for the pint of rum, who would want to line up so early in the morning?” A skinny man stomped his feet. He sniffed with his red nose, and grumbled, “Also, since you’re all here, open the door quickly to let us in. This isn’t how you run a business.”

The crowd pushed and squeezed forward as they attempted to rush into the shop.

“Rules are made to follow.” A cold voice echoed. The ground froze immediately, and the chilly weather got even colder as though everyone had just entered a chiller.

What shocked the crowd even more was that frost had actually formed, and their feet were stuck to the ground, making it impossible for them to take even a step forward.

“This…” Everyone looked at the icy beauty walk up the steps. She glared at them coldly, making all of them look away subconsciously, afraid to meet her eyes.

“No matter who you are, or where you come from, if you’re here, you have to go by Mamy Restaurant’s rules. Otherwise, you’ll be blacklisted by the restaurant, and will not be allowed to enter ever again.” Elizabeth swept a glance at all the customers, and coldly said, “If anyone dares to go against the rules forcefully, you’ll be deemed as the restaurant’s enemy.”

Everyone swallowed subconsciously. Although this ice beauty was very pretty, she had a very strong and scary aura. They could guess that she had to be a very powerful ice magic caster.

Some of the customers who were still hungover became wide awake immediately from the chill as they shuddered.

They had all realized something. This shop was a little different from the restaurants that treated the customers as kings. Their arrogance and ego would not work here.

“Wow~ Big Sister Elizabeth is so cool.” Hannah looked at Elizabeth with glowing eyes. As a completely powerless orc, she was especially envious of powerful women like Elizabeth who could single-handedly settle these troublemakers without anyone’s help.The sourcᴇ of this content is ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

Harrison rubbed his hands together, and casually reminded, “It’s so cold, and we can’t get our rum. What’s the point of lining up? There’s still half an hour to the restaurant’s opening. I’d rather go home to my wife and bed.”

“That’s right. Let’s go home, it’s too cold.”

When the crowd heard Harrison’s words, they quickly picked up their bottles and cans. Suddenly, half of the people there left.

The long line in front of the restaurant door shrunk by more than a half.

“Bye-bye.” Harrison smiled as he walked all the way to the front. He came early in the morning for the soybean milk and youtiao, but didn’t expect to see a large group of alcoholics. With them around, he would have to line up for eons.

The regulars who came later for the breakfast all took up the empty spots, and the tense atmosphere soon became relaxed. There were even several customers who greeted Yabemiya and the rest.

Elizabeth waved her hand, and the frost on the ground disappeared instantly. The air had also gone back to normal. Although it did not become any warmer, at least the temperature in the area stopped dropping.

Yabemiya nodded with a smile to everyone. She knocked on the restaurant’s door, and it opened before the staff entered.

“Miss Elizabeth is really intimidating. I don’t even dare to greet her even though I’m here every day to eat.”

“An ice beauty like her can only be watched from afar. Don’t even think of trying to get close to her.”

“If she was not like this, she wouldn’t be able to handle those crazy drunkards.”

The regulars chatted with a smile, and the atmosphere slowly grew warmer.

Waking up early to line up for breakfast on a winter day like this was really one true love.

“That’s quite a crowd early in the morning,” Mag said to Miya and the others, who just entered, as he walked out of the kitchen with a tray.

“Hannah’s rum is too popular. Many customers came after finding out about it, but they didn’t know about the restaurant’s rules, so there was a little commotion just now. However, they’ve already left very cooperatively,’ Miya said with a smile.

“I didn’t expect so many people in Chaos City to like rum,” Hannah said with surprise.

“That’s because the local brews in Chaos City are really terrible, and the rum you make is considered the best kind of rum. This is the so-called dimensionality reduction. I reckon this situation will continue to intensify,” Mag said calmly.

Some of the customers who had no understanding of rum quickly fell in love with it after tasting it. After that, they introduced it to their friends, and that was how the virus spread on the drinking table. The rum quickly gained a foothold in Chaos City by outdoing the other types of alcohol available in the market and the word-of-mouth marketing.

“You got to hasten things up at the brewery,” Mag told Hannah with a smile.
