A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

his mouth.
He did not care that the porridge was piping hot.
After chewing for a while, two tears rolled down his cheeks as he said, “Meat.
This really is the taste of meat!”

More and more cleaners had received their congee with pork and century egg, and most of them went to sit on the steps carefully with their bowl.
They used the warmth of the bowl to warm their frozen hands.
The steam and aroma washed over their faces, and made the tanned and wrinkled faces smile with anticipation.

“Boss Mag is really a good man.
Providing breakfast for these old people is more practical than anything else,” Harrison said, but his gaze was fixed on that bowl of congee with pork and century egg as he gulped.

“These old people are so pitiful.” Yabemiya gazed at those old people piteously.
They still had to wake up so early to do the cleaning work at such an advanced age.

Babla propped her face up with her hands as she curiously said, “Is the cleaners’ work actually so backbreaking and difficult? I thought they only needed to wave around with magic.”

This was very far from what she had imagined.
She had always thought these old people holding the brooms were sorcerers.

Elton wiped his tears away.
He looked at those cleaners sitting on the steps, and his gaze landed on the vacant seats at the side.
The beautiful wooden table and chairs with intricate carvings.
Only the rich and powerful normally sat there to enjoy their expensive meals, and they could only sit on those chilly steps.

Why can they sit there and we can’t? Since he wants to be a good person, why can’t he go all the way? Suddenly, a spike of jealousy rose up in Elton’s heart.
He turned around and laughingly said to Mag, “Since you are such a good person, Boss Mag, let me sit there to eat.
It’s not convenient to eat sitting on the steps.”

“Sit down?” All the cleaners’ gazes landed on those tables and chairs at the entrance.
It would be nice if they could sit down and eat the hot porridge comfortably at a table like the rich.

Mag passed the congee to Old Jack, who was the last in line.
He reminded him to be careful before he turned to look at Elton.

His sparse white hair was frazzled, and his old tattered jacket had not been washed for a very long time.
All kinds of dirt and grease were layered on that face, and he looked no different from a hobo.

However, he was a cleaner with a livable wage.
Although it wasn’t high, it could ensure that an ordinary person would be able to have his meals and shelter.
Even if he couldn’t have a very respectable life, he could at least afford much better hygiene.

Mag calmly said to Elton, “Excuse me, old mister.
I can provide you with breakfast, but I can’t provide you with a place to eat.
Because my restaurant will be opening for business soon, I will have to ensure my restaurant can be ready in time.
As you very well know, cleaning takes time and effort.”

“It doesn’t matter.
We will clean it up for you after we are done.
Are you despising us because we are dirty?” Elton said innocently.

The cleaners’ gazes all landed on Mag with an inexplicable emotion.

Mag looked at Elton with slightly furrowed eyebrows.
Did the issue he was the most worried about happen inevitably?

“This dirty grandpa, don’t you have any idea how dirty you are?” Right at this moment, an adorable voice sounded in the restaurant.
Amy came out with Ugly Duckling in her arms and looked at Elton with disdain.
