Just as they finished their appetizers, the waitress came out with a tray full of food. One by one she replaced the empty plates with a plate full of food.
"Here you go, all your orders. Well, enjoy your food. Just call me or any other waitress if you need something else." With a smile, she was about to walk away when he was stopped by the buff middle-aged man.
"I can only order 1 bottle of rum, so can we add another bucket of beer?." He then pointed at the almost empty bucket and at those empty bottles of beer.
"Sure thing, but we can only provide another one since we're almost running out of stock." She then said.
"The please."
…..
She then returned with a bucket full of ice and bottles of beer.
"The food here is delicious and also cheap. It pretty much saved us since we traveled a lot and the money were all spent for our supplies. With the way your business is running, can this restaurant keep running?" The black clothed young man asked to the waitress as he took another bite.
"Well the supplier of our ingredients is generous, I don't know where he get these things. But our boss knows him and we are the only store that he sold with half a price!" Feeling proud, she puffed up her almost non-existent chest, as if she owns this business.
"That's right." The old man also confirmed on the side. "Because of that store owner, the food street you see today won't even come to life. It is already almost a year now. That store just popped out of nowhere and selling cheap stuff. With new and cheap products, though the quantity is not enough for a port town, he still helped and created work for many people whether it was intentional or not."
"Well if he is selling cheap, why don't he let more people know where he got those so that more people will have jobs and food to eat?" The clocked lady interjected as she was confused.
"Well, lady… even if you asked me I really don't know." The old man called a waitress and paid for his food. 'I also want to know where he got it!' He then said in his heart thinking on the past when he was asked to kidnap the store owner.
"You can just asked him if you really want?" He then stood up and went out.
"You should eat first, or you won't have anything left." The elf lady then reminded her and pointed at the three guys devouring the remaining food.
