This is the Restaurant they have built over the past month, Orignal idea was to build a city but it's not easy to achieve that with their limited manpower.
Thus Robert decided to open this restaurant first to collect manpower and resources to build the city, Although it will take a long time it's the safest option he can think of now. It's better than robbery or plundering resources from other creatures.
Robert decided the name of the restaurant The name Taotie refers to a greedy and gluttonous monster that existed in ancient mythology in his previous life. In truth, he is not good at naming so he decided to settle on this name.
Anyway, it's just the name of the restaurant not if the city he will think of a better name for the city in the future.
Back to the present, At this moment Robert and others were ready to open their restaurant all the necessary ingredients, Structure, and equipment for cooking were ready. Now they just need a customer and the business will start.
In the past month, they have collected around twenty catty of salt with slithers painstakingly efforts. which if converted into kilograms is around 10 kg of salt.
The structure of the restaurant was built in front of two caves so that the outsider cannot see the entrance of the cave.
With this setup, they can store precious resources and live inside the cave.
The structure of the restaurant was rather crude. After entering there were five seats and a table made from a log.
There was one counter where Slither was sitting and waited for customers to enter.
He is in charge of collecting money or anything equivalent for the food. Near him, Snowball and White Fang were standing with the expectation on their faces as they looked at the door waiting for the customers to arrive.
They are both waiters of the restaurant who will serve food and take orders from the customers.
Behind the counter, there is a door. At this moment the door opened and Celli poked her head out and said, "No customer?"
Slither looked helpless and said, "Yes it's already been two hours but we still do not have a single customer."
"Be optimistic! People will come to our restaurant in a while." White Fang enthusiasm is still at its peak. She is not disappointed or frustrated about the fact that there are no customers.
"That's right! With so many delicious foods many creatures will come here." Snowball said confidently as he drooled thinking about the delicious meals that Robert prepared for them during this month.
Robert wanted to come up with the menu for the restaurant so he made samples for them to taste and make them choose the best dish. He has received many cooking techniques from the cave and with the knowledge of his previous life he came up with many simple yet delicious foods.
Alas for every dish they gave the same answer that 'This is delicious, include this in the menu'.
Because of this now they have over a hundred dishes on the menu!
"You have said this sentence for the fourth time already." Slither rolled his eyes after listening to them saying the same sentence they said an hour ago.
White Fang wanted to say something but her ears moved slightly as she exclaimed, "Someone is coming!"
Slither and Celli were surprised to hear her; they knew that her cultivation is high so they didn't doubt her word.
"I will go and tell Robert about this!" Celli said with slight excitement in her tone. After saying this she directly passed through the door like a ghost and disappeared.
"Alright, we will take their orders," Slither said without any surprise on his face. It was not the first time he saw her passing through the walls like this. He knew it's one of her talents.
After Celli passed through the door she floated and moved through the passage and arrived at the backyard where the kitchen is located.
After entering the kitchen she saw Robert sitting there with his eyes closed seemingly sleeping.
The kitchen is crude and most of the structures are either made from wood or clay. Only one knife has a metallic lustre.
Celli remembered that Robert found it in the forest. This knife is very sharp it can pierce the skin of Foundation Level Beast.
"Robert, We have customers," Celli said excitedly as she looked at Robert who appeared to be sleeping.
"So they are finally here?" Robert opened his eyes and said he didn't seem surprised after hearing about the arrival of their first customers.
It seems that he expected this already. He looked at Celli and said calmly, "Go and receive our guests and take their orders."
"Okay" Celli felt rather strange after seeing Robert's calm reaction nevertheless she left the kitchen according to Robert's instruction.
….
Slither, White Fang and Snowball looked at the door with expectations as they heard voices from outside.
"My lord this is the place where that humble servant invited you for dinner."
"Not bad! Although this place cannot be compared to my palace it's still good. As expected of the place built by my Prime minister."
"Your majesty, didn't you say that I am the Prime minister?"
"Cough Cough You should focus on my sentiment, not my words." The voice was a bit embarrassed this time.
White Fang and Snowball looked at each other with excitement. A high shot is visiting their restaurant!
Just as White Fang and Others looked at the door expectantly the door opened and a silhouette of three people appeared before them.
Because of the sunlight, the shadow of three people looks majestic.
White Fang and Snowball looked at the door with awe and curiosity. Then the door closed which made their expression freeze.
The owner of three silhouettes are…. Three birds?
Three of them were in a daze not knowing what to do, Expectation versus reality… The difference is too huge…
At this time Celli returned and saw three birds and said subconsciously, "It's you! Three national treasures!"
"Thank you for your praise!" The bird in the middle said with a proud face.
Three of them are the bird emperor, Blood fiend and Amber who encountered Robert and Celli last time.
"I am not praising you!!" Celli rolled her eyes hearing him. She learned this word from Robert although she is not sure about the meaning it's not praise.
"You can dispense the formality, Brother Robert invited me for the inauguration of this restaurant. And I have to say the construction of this place is very novel." The bird emperor looked around with appreciation.
"Okay sit there and give your orders." Celli was too lazy to talk with him and directly pointed at the seat.
"Little Fang, Snowball takes orders from them." After telling them to sit she said to White Fang.
White Fang and Snowball snapped out of the daze and arrived near the table where the trio was sitting.
"What is your order dear customer?"
"What is your order dear customer?"
Both of them asked the same question as they looked at the trio with burning gazes. Three of them were startled after hearing their question and didn't know how to respond.
"What should I have?" Bird emperor asked with confusion as he looked at two people before him.
"How do I know that?" White Fang replied with a puzzled look on her face.
"You tell me what should I have?" The Bird felt his head big after hearing her so he asked for her opinion.
"Little Fang tell them the menu first..." Slither said helplessly as he looked at three confused faces.
"Oh," White Fang thought for a while and said, "In the menu, we have Southern Fish Roll..."
"Okay, we will like to have Southern Fish Roll…" The bird emperor said immediately after hearing her. Fish is one of his favourites.
"But it's currently unavailable. As there is a lack of necessary ingredients." White Fang replied innocently.
"What else you have?" Bird emperor was surprised for a while and asked. It's reasonable that there is a lack of materials as Fish are not easy to catch.
"Oh, On the menu, we have chicken barbeque…" This time Snowball said as he looked excited.
"Okay, we will take Chicken barbeque…" The Bird emperor replied immediately.
"... But we can't serve it because the chicken is laying eggs. Don't look at me like that you interrupted me." Snowball replied sheepishly as he saw Bird Emperor looking at him with astonishment.
What sort of reason is this? The bird emperor took a deep breath trying to calm down he can't lose his composure in front of everyone.
"In the menu, we have Explosive Mushroom Soup…" White Fang continues as she remembered the name of all the dishes.
"But you cannot serve it right?" The Bird emperor said as he raised his head proudly. He felt he finally won against them.
"No, We can prepare Explosive Mushroom soup." White Fang gave him a puzzled glance and said.
The smile on Bird emperors faces froze as he heard her. He was silent for a while and then said, "Okay your win. It's the first time I am defeated in verbal sparring. Give us Explosive Mushroom soup…"
Won? What is he talking about? Is he a retard?
Although puzzled she replied politely, "Okay please be patient the dish will be prepared in a few minutes."
