Dn gently opened the door and respectfully guided the group to two tables. He ced the two tablesclose to each other and added another set in order to amodate the entire group.
"Here is your table, madams and sirs." Dn presented the table with utmost etiquette. " I will be proceeding to the tform now so I may be able to start cooking for you." Dn informed his costumers.
"Okay." A burly man about 2 meters tall replied.
"Now, ma''am and sirs, may I take your orders?". Dn acted as though a professional waiter of a 5-star restaurant. He gifted them a list of the gourmet that was the menu.
"Yes." A 16 year old teenage girl replied to Dn blushingly. She never had seen a handsome man act so gentlemanly and elegantly that she found it hot. She had seen many men that were more handsome than this man but they did not have that princely disposition that Dn had. ''I never thought that a store owner could be this hot!''. She thought in her mind.
"Thank you, youngdy. May I ask what particr dishes you wish to order?" Dn specified his question and smiled.
There was another 18 year old youngdy within the group. Her faced went red as she stared intently at this man. She was mesmerized by his natural disposition and character.
"I..." the youngdy said.
"Yes ma''am?" Dn asked the youngdy.
"I... like you.." the youngdy stated in a faint voice.
"Huh?!" The entire family was shocked by what this girl just said
"Hmm?" The faint smile on Dn''s face stiffened. '' I asked you what to order then you suddenly say "you like me"? Isn''t that way off from what I said? This girl must not be in the right mind!'' Dn did not know whether tough or cry because this girl just suddenly confessed right of the bat!
But Dn feigned ignorance as he quickly thought of an excuse.
"You like what dish ma''am? I wasn''table to hear you from the faintness of your voice, ma''am. May I ask you what it was again?" Dn asked in a polite manner.
"Uhm, I like... this." The 18 year olddy pointed at the words "zed Pork Ribs."
Dn held a pen and started to write down the order. He then smilingly asked, " How about the other gentlemen anddies? What delicacy would you like to dine with?"
"How about you rmend as some of your best and serve it to my family, Store Owner Dn?" The olddy interjected and smiled.
"If this is not against anyone, then I will humbly do so." Dn reconfirmed.
"Of course.", the olddy said
"Then, I will take my leave, ma''am." Dn excuses himself from the group for him to start cooking. He went up in the tform and started cooking.
Dumbfounded, the middle-aged man was unable toprehend what is currently happening. "Wasn''t he supposed to be a wastrel owner of a broken down shop? How is he able to exude such elegance and calmness that I have only seen with the head of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion? What''s more it seems to be he is able to influence us to do his bidding? When did this Dn Ford be so formidable?"
It was true that the previous Dn was a newbie to the Business World and did not even have the slightest inkling of any business rted information and knowledge. He had an extremely limited view towards business and management that was why he was deemed a wastrel of the local businessmunity. Because despite of opening a store for the past four years, Dn was still unable to get little over a hundred customers.
But, that was then. Now, the new Dn, who was recognized to be the greatest businessman of earth, was the one who is inside the body of this world''s Dn Ford. He would be able to change the entire negative image that people assigned to his former self. He would be able to prove everyone wrong.
''I don''t believe that he will be able to cook that well." The middle-aged man said.
"Are you sure, Gary?" The olddy questioned her son.
"Uh.. of course I am. How is someone able to cook so good overnight??" Gary retorted.
"Grandmother, what did you say his name was again?" The 16 year old teenage girl asked suddenly.
"Yes, grandmother. I would like to know as well." The 18 year olddy butted in.
"His name is Dn Ford. Why do you suddenly ask? Is it because you find him to your fancy, Mary and Marie?" The olddy teased her granddaughters.
"..." The two beauties did not reply for a moment.
"Mother, stop spouting nonsense! My daughter, Mary, would never like such a waste!" Gary bellowed.
"Yes, mother. Marie is a beauty that has over a hundred of suitors. There are several people who are more handsome and stronger than this Dn Ford ande from better background. As her father, I disallow this because Marie has a good future ahead of her!" The 2 meters tall burly man was a little bit angry from his mother''sments. He bore some resemnce to Gary.
"What Richard said is right! Both of our daughters our jewels to the n!" Gary forcefully agreed from his brother''s exnation.
"Oh, really? But can''t you see that Mary and Marie or even your wives is already flushed red?" The olddy questioned.
"..." Every woman present was silent after hearing those words.
"What do you mean? There''s no way- what??" Richard scanned as he saw that it was true all four women that were mentioned was flushed red.
"Ha-how?" Gary stuttered.
"It''s because of that man''s natural charisma. He is able to be elegant, calm, warm and humble at the same time. It is a very difficult thing to do for various businessmen. They may be able to act this way but it will sometimes give others who have good eyes of discernment that these businessmen are acting somewhat forced. Even when I was conversing with the branch head of Thousands Treasure Pavilion, he was still somewhat forced and unable to perfectly harmonize these four." The olddy exined.
"Even the branch head of Thousands Treasure Pavilion cannot?" The Brothers were shocked by knowing this. Although they knew that she is approaching her rest, they could never doubt the woman who managed the whole n after their father died. His knowledge and expertise was something they would not doubt.
Their mother was a veteran in business and had an excellent eye of discernment. She could judge the people''s character by just basing on their movements and habits. But they still found it unbelievable that ad who has not even reached the age of 20 could do something like that.
"But, Dn Ford is able to do so. The condition in which he was just disying is called Harmonized Soul. Harmonized Soul is attained if you''re able to perfectly harmonize two or more auras at the same time. In the business world, that is one of the most sought for requirement for the most legendary upation in the Great Mystic World, the Mystical Magnates." The olddy continued.
"What?!" The brothers were dumbfounded.
"He- he has the qualifications... of bing... a Mystical Magnate?!" Both of them shuddered. It was a good thing they weren''t as dumb as to offend a Mystical Magnate. A Mystical Magnate has the ability to gather experts because of their influence and power. It was rumored that there was a man who sullied the name of a Mystical Magnate. His whole n was exterminated by the experts gathered by the Mystical Magnate.
They felt a cold tingle down their spines as they felt horrified by the strength of such a person. They felt relieved not being too rash.
The women, on the other hand, were stunned. They never thought that Dn could be such a person. The two youngdies felt their heart racing. As any women would like strong and handsome men, they felt more infatuated towards the man cooking on the tform. "Have I fallen for this man?", they both murmured softly.
"Now, do you understand why I, Marites Aaron, came to befriend him?" Marites Aaron said.
"Yes mother." Both man simultaneously nodded.
"It seems like we would have a good meal." Marites smiled.
As Marites finished, a brilliant smell flooded the air. The fragrance was nerve-soothing and peace-inciting. All of them felt that their nerves calm down. They felt rxed and at peace. It came from the young man who was just preparing the tes. He slowly went down from the tform and walked over to them.
"Dear customers, your dishes will be here in just a couple more minutes. How about some nice tea first?" Dn said and ced over cups to each one of them and poured the tea from the searing hot teapot.
"Thank you, sir Dn." Marites thanked as she received the tea.
"No, thank you, Ma''am Aaron." Dn smiled and left.
''Oh, it seems like this Dn Ford''s hearing is much better than I expected.'' Marites was amused because she knew that she never introduced herself to Dn before. It was only today did she first spoke of her name. Although there might be other exnations, but her intuition told her so. A woman''s intuition is rarely.wrong.
''Mystical Magnate, huh.'' Dn contemted as he looked through the sky and faintly said.
"Let''s get ready, hehehe." He smiled.
The whole Aaron family liked the tea even the little boy got a taste of it and liked it. The tea was mellow and serene which is appropriate for any age group.
"What good tea..." Garryplimented.
"You were right, mother. I was wrong." Garry apologized.
"Hahaha. It''s okay. You can apologize to Store Owner Dnter. But for now, let''s just enjoy this tea andter on our meal." Marites said.
"Yes, mother." Gary replied respectfully.
After several minutes...
"Here are your orders,dies and gentlemen." Dn presented the exquisite food he prepared as he gently ced it on top of the tables. Each food was a delicacy. Just a look would water a person''s mouth. There were zed pork ribs, exquisitely roasted chicken, seared wolf meat, fruit and vegetable sds, and herbal beverages. The family started eating as soon as they were served the food.
"Yeeey, food!" The little boy gobbled. "Delicious!!"
"It is really delicious"
"Compliments to the chef!"
"It is both exquisite in presentation and taste!"
Dn received manypliments towards his cooking as he smiled and simply said "Thank you for enjoying my cooking. I am very d that all of you fancied its taste but I have to take my leave as other costumers will being."
Dn knew that the smell of his food has already spread and was bound to attract customers. So he politely excused himself. As he excused himself, he walked towards the entrance and opened it. Then, suddenly people started appearing. He weed them warmly and guided them to a table seat. This time it was a group of 6, it was the group his first customer brought. After a while a group of people also appeared and he did the same thing as well it was strength of 11 brought by the second costumer he had.
He prepared and served every order that was given to him. Every single one of his customers liked his food and did not spare a single scrap of it to be wasted.
More and more customers came. The whole restaurant was now filled with 45 people and it was just lunch. Even if they were great in numbers, Dn was still able to outstandingly entertain each and every one of them.
The quality of his cooking spread like wildfire and as swift as the wind in the city. The news of a new restaurant, Gardenford Restaurant, was spreading all throughout the city so many people started to go to test the food there.
In Gardenford Restaurant, it was noon. But, the number of customers skyrocketed to 65! Dn was still able to entertain all guests despite the great numbers.
"I underestimated the curiosity and gluttony of humans." He bitterlyughed.
