Novel Full Chapter 486 Let’s Split It 50/50
Rage! That was the emotion that had been instantly ignited in Blour’s heart. Such supreme-grade tea leaves were being used to make dessert?! It was an absolute farce!!
He was so worked that he almost reverted back to his own voice. Thankfully, he managed to catch himself in the instant before he spoke, so his voice sounded a little strange, but it was still a feminine voice.
However, his sudden interrogation drew the attention of all of the customers in the restaurant. Was this beautiful elf trying to stir up some trouble? It had been a long time since Mamy Restaurant had last seen a troublemaker.
Constantine was also looking at Blour with a concerned expression. Mamy Restaurant had many rules, and one of them was that speaking in a loud voice was prohibited. As such, Blour’s violent outburst could incur some consequences.
Amy looked up at Blour with her mouth slightly agape. She was unable to comprehend why this beautiful big sister had suddenly flown into a rage. Besides, why was she criticizing her father?
Yabemiya was also at a loss for what to do as she stared at the enraged Blour. She didn’t even know why Blour was so angry.
Sally looked at the mocha ice cream in Blour’s hand, and she could roughly guess why Blour was so enraged.
Mag emerged from the kitchen with two plates of Yangzhou fried rice. He placed the two dishes in front of customers who’d ordered it, and smiled as he asked, “Is there a complaint you would like to raise against the restaurant?”
“You bas— You biscuit!” Blour was just about to launch into a violent tirade when he realized that he had to maintain his image as a graceful gentlewoman, so he could only revert to hurling a much milder insult.
Argh… So embarrassing. Blour wanted to facepalm as soon as he said that.
“Hmm?” Mag faltered upon hearing that. This guy sure was trying hard to maintain his image. That “insult” almost had him bursting into laughter.
She’s so cute even when she’s angry; I really lucked out today! Constantine looked at Blour with an intoxicated expression.
“Pffft-” Yabemiya couldn’t help but burst into laughter. This beautiful elf sure was amusing. All of the onlooking customers also burst into laughter. Her way of insulting people was hilarious, and one simply couldn’t bring themselves to be angry at her.
“Big Sister Shirley, what’s a biscuit? Is it some type of food?” Amy asked.
“A biscuit is a type of dessert.” Blour’s expression was slightly awkward, but he still provided an explanation to Amy. He cleared his throat to alleviate his embarrassment as he grumbled, “How can you use such premium quality tea leaves to make dessert? Does your conscience not ache? Do you know how precious these tea leaves are? Even the spring tea of Vic Mountain can’t compare to this
tea!”
“I’m aware of that.” Mag nodded with a smile. These tea leaves were produced by the system, and they were the best of the best. Even back in his past life, when his father had offered him all types of renowned teas, he had never tasted such superb tea.
“Then how could you waste these tea leaves like this?!” Blour had initially thought that Mag was simply unaware of how precious these tea leaves were, so he was even more infuriated upon learning the fact that Mag was fully aware of this yet still chose to make these tea leaves into dessert.
“It’s exactly because of this that these tea leaves have been incorporated into this restaurant’s dessert. Each and every one of my customers deserve nothing less than the best; that is my mantra when picking out ingredients. This is the best tea leaf I could find, so I used it to make mocha ice cream. Every other ingredient used in this restaurant is of just as high a caliber,” Mag offered a calm and collected response in the face of Blour’s fury as if he were elaborating on something very normal.
Could that possibly be true? All of the ingredients used in this restaurant are of the same caliber as these tea leaves? Mag’s eyes were clear and bright, and they seemed to hold some sort of magical power that convinced others to believe him. Thinking back to the Yangzhou fried rice he had just had, Blour discovered that all of the ingredients within really were of a far better quality than anything he had had in the past.
How can this guy remain so composed in the face of my stunning beauty? How could there be a man in this world that’s immune to my charms? Could it be… that he likes men?! Blour was starting to be led astray by his thoughts.
“No wonder the food from Mamy Restaurant is so delicious; Boss Mag has been putting so much effort into the ingredients. It’s really rare to see a restaurant owner dedicating so much to their cooking. These dishes are well worth the price,” Harrison praised.
“Indeed. Just the ingredients alone should be more expensive than the prices he’s charging. I wonder where Boss Mag sourced so many premium ingredients from. In particular, it’s really hard to get your hands on good quality fish, prawn, and shiitake mushrooms in Chaos City.” Gjerj nodded with a curious expression.
The customers who were initially hesitant about purchasing dishes due to their tight budgets immediately made up their minds upon hearing that. They suddenly felt as if several hundred copper coins for each dish was an absolute bargain.

“I’ll admit that you have a point there; they’re your tea leaves, so you can do whatever you want with them.” Blour looked at Mag with a serious expression as he asked, “But do you sell these tea leaves on their own?”
Everyone turned to Blour with a hint of surprise on their faces. They didn’t think that “she” would back down so easily.
“Sorry, I’m not selling the tea leaves.” Mag shook his head in response. Truth be told, he didn’t even have any tea leaves. The system had only provided him with mocha, which had already been ground into powder, so he didn’t have any tea leaves to sell.
“State your price. Even if it’s twice as expensive as the ice cream, I’ll take it, and I’ll take as much as you have to offer.” Blour was unwilling to give up on such premium tea leaves. Furthermore, his heart throbbed with pain upon seeing tea leaves of such a phenomenal caliber being used as dessert flavoring.
“The green tea is only used for making mocha ice cream. I do not have a large quantity of the tea leaves, so I’m not selling them.” Mag shook his head in response. The price being proposed wasn’t tempting to him in the slightest. He then continued in a cautionary voice, “Please be quiet in the restaurant. Raising your voice for no reason will disrupt other customers and compromise their dining experience. If you disregard this rule, you will be blacklisted and banned from the restaurant.”
“10 times! I’ll pay 10 times the price to buy your tea leaves!” Blour gritted his teeth and made another bid.
“System, let’s sell tea leaves instead! He’s paying 10 times the price!” Mag’s expression remained indifferent, but he was already screaming internally.
“Please remember who you are: you are a man destined to become the God of Cookery. Are you going to allow yourself to be shaken by such a paltry amount? Money cannot buy your dignity,” the system gave a heart-wrenching response.
“I’ll split it fifty-fifty with you,” Mag cut it off.
“Err… Well, it’s not entirely non-negotiable. The production of tea leaves this year is actually pretty good, so it won’t hurt to sell about 15 to 25 kilograms.”
