Dylan gently opened the door and respectfully guided the group to two tables. He placed the two tablesclose to each other and added another set in order to accommodate the entire group.
"Here is your table, madams and sirs." Dylan presented the table with utmost etiquette. " I will be proceeding to the platform now so I may be able to start cooking for you." Dylan inford his costurs.
"Okay." A burly man about 2 ters tall replied.
"Now, ma'am and sirs, may I take your orders?". Dylan acted as though a professional waiter of a 5-star restaurant. He gifted them a list of the gourt that was the nu.
"Yes." A 16 year old teenage girl replied to Dylan blushingly. She never had seen a handso man act so gentlemanly and elegantly that she found it hot. She had seen many n that were more handso than this man but they did not have that princely disposition that Dylan had. 'I never thought that a store owner could be this hot!'. She thought in her mind.
"Thank you, young lady. May I ask what particular dishes you wish to order?" Dylan specified his question and smiled.
There was another 18 year old young lady within the group. Her faced went red as she stared intently at this man. She was srized by his natural disposition and character.
"I..." the young lady said.
"Yes ma'am?" Dylan asked the young lady.
"I... like you.." the young lady stated in a faint voice.
"Huh?!" The entire family was shocked by what this girl just said
"Hmm?" The faint smile on Dylan's face stiffened. ' I asked you what to order then you suddenly say "you like "? Isn't that way off from what I said? This girl must not be in the right mind!' Dylan did not know whether to laugh or cry because this girl just suddenly confessed right of the bat!
But Dylan 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?" Dylan asked in a polite manner.
"Uhm, I like... this." The 18 year old lady pointed at the words "Glazed Pork Ribs."
Dylan held a pen and started to write down the order. He then smilingly asked, " How about the other gentlen and ladies? What delicacy would you like to dine with?"
"How about you recomnd as so of your best and serve it to my family, Store Owner Dylan?" The old lady interjected and smiled.
"If this is not against anyone, then I will humbly do so." Dylan reconfird.
"Of course.", the old lady said
"Then, I will take my leave, ma'am." Dylan excuses himself from the group for him to start cooking. He went up in the platform and started cooking.
Dumbfounded, the middle-aged man was unable to comprehend 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 Dylan Ford beco so formidable?"
It was true that the previous Dylan was a newbie to the Business World and did not even have the slightest inkling of any business related information and knowledge. He had an extrely limited view towards business and managent that was why he was deed a wastrel of the local business community. Because despite of opening a store for the past four years, Dylan was still unable to get little over a hundred custors.
But, that was then. Now, the new Dylan, who was recognized to be the greatest businessman of earth, was the one who is inside the body of this world's Dylan Ford. He would be able to change the entire negative image that people assigned to his forr 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 old lady questioned her son.
"Uh.. of course I am. How is soone able to cook so good overnight??" Gary retorted.
"Grandmother, what did you say his na was again?" The 16 year old teenage girl asked suddenly.
"Yes, grandmother. I would like to know as well." The 18 year old lady butted in.
"His na is Dylan Ford. Why do you suddenly ask? Is it because you find him to your fancy, Mary and Marie?" The old lady teased her granddaughters.
"..." The two beauties did not reply for a mont.
"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 handso and stronger than this Dylan Ford and co from better background. As her father, I disallow this because Marie has a good future ahead of her!" The 2 ters tall burly man was a little bit angry from his mother's comnts. He bore so resemblance to Gary.
"What Richard said is right! Both of our daughters our jewels to the clan!" Gary forcefully agreed from his brother's explanation.
"Oh, really? But can't you see that Mary and Marie or even your wives is already flushed red?" The old lady questioned.
"..." Every woman present was silent after hearing those words.
"What do you an? There's no way- what??" Richard scanned as he saw that it was true all four won that were ntioned 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 sa ti. It is a very difficult thing to do for various businessn. They may be able to act this way but it will sotis give others who have good eyes of discernnt that these businessn are acting sowhat forced. Even when I was conversing with the branch head of Thousands Treasure Pavilion, he was still sowhat forced and unable to perfectly harmonize these four." The old lady explained.
"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 clan after their father died. His knowledge and expertise was sothing they would not doubt.
Their mother was a veteran in business and had an excellent eye of discernnt. She could judge the people's character by just basing on their movents and habits. But they still found it unbelievable that a lad who has not even reached the age of 20 could do sothing like that.
"But, Dylan Ford is able to do so. The condition in which he was just displaying is called Harmonized Soul. Harmonized Soul is attained if you're able to perfectly harmonize two or more auras at the sa ti. In the business world, that is one of the most sought for requirent for the most legendary occupation in the Great Mystic World, the Mystical Magnates." The old lady continued.
"What?!" The brothers were dumbfounded.
"He- he has the qualifications... of becoming... 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 na of a Mystical Magnate. His whole clan 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 won, on the other hand, were stunned. They never thought that Dylan could beco such a person. The two young ladies felt their heart racing. As any won would like strong and handso n, they felt more infatuated towards the man cooking on the platform. "Have I fallen for this man?", they both murmured softly.
"Now, do you understand why I, Marites Aaron, ca to befriend him?" Marites Aaron said.
"Yes mother." Both man simultaneously nodded.
"It seems like we would have a good al." Marites smiled.
As Marites finished, a brilliant sll flooded the air. The fragrance was nerve-soothing and peace-inciting. All of them felt that their nerves calm down. They felt relaxed and at peace. It ca from the young man who was just preparing the plates. He slowly went down from the platform and walked over to them.
"Dear custors, your dishes will be here in just a couple more minutes. How about so nice tea first?" Dylan said and placed over cups to each one of them and poured the tea from the searing hot teapot.
"Thank you, sir Dylan." Marites thanked as she received the tea.
"No, thank you, Ma'am Aaron." Dylan smiled and left.
'Oh, it seems like this Dylan Ford's hearing is much better than I expected.' Marites was amused because she knew that she never introduced herself to Dylan before. It was only today did she first spoke of her na. Although there might be other explanations, but her intuition told her so. A woman's intuition is rarely.wrong.
'Mystical Magnate, huh.' Dylan contemplated 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 llow and serene which is appropriate for any age group.
"What good tea..." Garry complinted.
"You were right, mother. I was wrong." Garry apologized.
"Hahaha. It's okay. You can apologize to Store Owner Dylan later. But for now, let's just enjoy this tea and later on our al." Marites said.
"Yes, mother." Gary replied respectfully.
After several minutes...
"Here are your orders, ladies and gentlen." Dylan presented the exquisite food he prepared as he gently placed it on top of the tables. Each food was a delicacy. Just a look would water a person's mouth. There were glazed pork ribs, exquisitely roasted chicken, seared wolf at, fruit and vegetable salads, 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"
"Complints to the chef!"
"It is both exquisite in presentation and taste!"
Dylan received many complints towards his cooking as he smiled and simply said "Thank you for enjoying my cooking. I am very glad that all of you fancied its taste but I have to take my leave as other costurs will be coming."
Dylan knew that the sll of his food has already spread and was bound to attract custors. So he politely excused himself. As he excused himself, he walked towards the entrance and opened it. Then, suddenly people started appearing. He welcod them warmly and guided them to a table seat. This ti it was a group of 6, it was the group his first custor brought. After a while a group of people also appeared and he did the sa thing as well it was strength of 11 brought by the second costur he had.
He prepared and served every order that was given to him. Every single one of his custors liked his food and did not spare a single scrap of it to be wasted.
More and more custors ca. The whole restaurant was now filled with 45 people and it was just lunch. Even if they were great in numbers, Dylan 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 custors skyrocketed to 65! Dylan was still able to entertain all guests despite the great numbers.
"I underestimated the curiosity and gluttony of humans." He bitterly laughed.
