"Boss Mai, your Rou Jia Mo isn't just delicious, it can even help to lose weight!"
Harrison's excitement stemmed not only from his praise of the delicious food, but also from the feeling that after eating the La Zhi Rou Jia Mo, the fat in his body trembled slightly with the surge of blood, as if it were burning, even more intensely than when his father forced him to practice swordsmanship.
What did this mean?
If eating such delicious food could lead to weight loss, then this is simply a blessing for overweight people!
Enjoying delicious food while feeling weight drop is the dream of countless foodies, but no one had ever heard of such a food actually existing.
But now, such a delicacy seemed to have appeared, and he had just eaten one. The feeling of his blood surging and his fat burning was so intense and clear.
While it's impossible to become thin by eating it all at once, eating one Rou Jia Mo like this is roughly equivalent to half an hour of sword practice. If he ate several everyday, he wouldn't need to practice sword anymore, and he could even watch himself slowly lose weight.
Thinking this, Harrison became even more excited. Although he wasn't ashamed of his obesity, having the opportunity to lose weight was certainly a good thing; after all, feeling breathless after walking just a few steps wasn't comfortable.
Moreover, he had several fellow sufferers in similar situations, who often went out to eat and drink together. They were all about the same size as him, and he had originally planned to bring them over after two days to try Boss Mai's cooking and show them what real gourmet food is all about.
Now that he'd experienced the amazing effects of this Rou Jia Mo, it seemed he should bring them over to try it soon. It's a delicious and slimming food that probably only a genius like Mai Ge could make.
Mai Ge looked at Harrison, who was covered in sweat and whose fat was trembling slightly, and smiled as he accepted his praise, feeling somewhat surprised.
It seemed that fat people had a stronger reaction to Rou Jia Mo. The frequency of the fat trembling was astonishing. If it really had a slimming effect, that would be amazing! He could probably boost Rou Jia Mo sales just based on that alone.
However, although the pork in this Rou Jia Mo contains berserk factors, didn't the system say it only affects bloodlines? How come it's affecting fat as well? Mai Ge was puzzled.
"Excessive obesity causes blood vessels to be compressed by fat. Therefore, the increased blood flow can stimulate the movement of fat within and around the blood vessels, resulting in a slight fat reducing effect. However, this effect only lasts until blood flow is normal within the vessels, so it has little effect on those who are less than moderately obese. The main effect of this La Zhi Rou Jia Mo is to stimulate bloodlines, not weight loss." the system's voice explained to Mai Ge.
Mai Ge understood. No wonder he and Amy didn't experience the same reaction as Harrison after eating it.
However, this effect is a real blessing for people who are moderately or severely obese. Even if they can't become thin by eating Rou Jia Mo, they can at least get themselves back to a healthy level.
"The weight loss effect may only restore your body to a basically normal level. If you want to lose weight, you'll probably still need to control your diet and exercise." Mai Ge said directly to Harrison after hearing the system's explanation.
While using weight loss as a gimmick will certainly promote Rou Jia Mo quickly, if the effect doesn't meet expectations, there might be some additional troubles.
The deliciousness of this Rou Jia Mo alone is enough to justify its price. These additional effects are practically a bonus. This irreplaceable quality is Mai Ge's confidence. Even if imitators appear on the market, he has no reason to worry about losing business.
"I see." Harrison nodded, glancing at the thin, small-eyed man beside him. Aside from his complexion becoming rosier and more energetic, he didn't seem to be experiencing the same symptoms. But then, after a moment's thought, he smiled and nodded again, saying, "If I could return to normal, that would be wonderful. I get out of breath after just a few steps, and everything is difficult for me. Tomorrow I'll call my buddies over; they'll definitely love this Rou Jia Mo. Boss, give me two more, please."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Mai Ge smiled and nodded, naturally welcoming this attempt to invite friends and family. Selling large quantities of Rou Jia Mo was important, but the number of customers was equally important; a thousand customers was no small number.
The other customers didn't wait any longer, each picking up their Rou Jia Mo and taking a bite. Savoring the delicious flavor, happy smiles spread across their faces, and they couldn't help but let out strange exclamations of praise. The impact of this deliciousness was simply too strong.
"Boss, please give me another one!"
"Me too!"
After only one bite, many people were already ordering again.
"I knew it, Daddy's cooking is the best." Amy gently stroked the Ugly Duckling's feathers, muttering softly, a happy smile also appearing on her face as she looked at the happy expressions on everyone's faces.
...
"Is this a restaurant?" Outside Restaurant Mai Mi, the tall Sargeras frowned slightly as he looked at the restaurant.
He had traveled to many places on the continent and had only arrived in the Chaos City a few days ago. He couldn't remember how many times he had been here before. But he didn't expect to see a restaurant in this corner of Aden Square. Judging from the exterior decoration, it should be run by humans.
He took two steps forward, looking at the transparent, thin crystal. It was so clear and transparent that he wanted to reach out his hands, which were covered with fine lava-like patterns, to touch it. However, he quickly stopped himself. Such crystal would probably break if touched, and it would definitely be very expensive. He didn't have that much money in his pocket to pay for it.
He didn't have many gold coins left, and he planned to go to the Adventurers' Guild to take on a few more challenging and higher-paying quests to earn enough money before continuing his journey.
With his strength, those quests that would be extremely difficult for ordinary human adventurers would not be too difficult to complete, but the rewards would be exceptionally generous. Staying here for half a month would earn him enough for the next six months of travel, allowing him to continue his search for a breakthrough.
"Judging from their expressions, it seems like they've got something delicious to eat?" Sargeras peered through the glass window into the restaurant. The humans and dwarves inside were holding small bags and eating something, their expressions quite pleasant. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded and said, "Let's go in and take a look. Human food is indeed the best on the entire continent. Let's have breakfast before heading to the guild." He then pushed open the door and went inside.
A bell rang, and Mai Ge who had just placed a plate of Yang Zhou Fried Rice in front of Mo Bai, looked up towards the door. A hint of surprise crossed his eyes when he saw who had entered.
This was the restaurant's first demon guest.
