Chapter 76 – Please Use the [System] Properly!
When Mike heard the praises and compliments outside, he could only shook his head and smiled to himself. He was no genius, what kind of genius needs 100 days of training and skill polishing without sleeping or eating just to perfect one recipe? He had the [System] on his side, and hard work.
However, to be able to make his customers eat with gladness and hear their praises really made him happy. Compared to the cloak and dagger life of the rich where knives were concealed behind smiles or being chased around in the dark, running for his life with his little daughter, this was much better.
βThis [Juicy Burger] is really delicious. Aside from the rainbow rice, what else is there to eat?β while waiting for his second [Juicy Burger] to arrive, FranΓ§ois picked up the menu from the table and looked forward to a full list of dishes and was astounded to see only two measly item on the list. He was even more astounded by the price listed next to these items, nearly exploding as he exclaimed, β[Yangzhou Fried Rice is 600 copper coins each! [Juicy Burger] 300 copper coins each! Why so expensive!β
βBro, even if we eat somewhere else, 10 gold coins wonβt be able to buy us such delicious weight loss [Juicy Burgers], ah. To be able to get them for 3 gold coins apiece is our good fortune.β Harrison said, smiling at FranΓ§ois.
βThatβs right, donβt mention 3 gold coins, even if it cost us 30 gold coins apiece, Iβll still want at least two, ah.β The fatty in red said, nodding in agreement even as he set down his slightly empty coin purse.
βBig bro, donβt you normally spend money like water? Whatβs with all the complaints about [Juicy Burger] being expensive?β The fatty in red said curiously.
All of them were gazing at FranΓ§ois with curious eyes, to be able to eat delicious food that promotes weight loss. Moreover, a food that actually make them feel comfortable at the end of the day, 300 copper coins was cheap. Francois himself owned two smithies to his name, the profit of which could reach about 200 gold coins on a bad day, so he clearly didnβt lack money.
βItβs not that I felt that the [Juicy Burger] is expensive,β Francois quickly waved his hands awkwardly, he explained, βmy pregnant wife is feeling insecure nowadays, kept thinking I have a woman outside or something and only gives me 3 gold coins to spend each day. Since this [Juicy Burger] cost 3 gold coins apiece, I could only have one, so itβs natural for me to be anxious.β
βHaha, this is the retribution of showing off your married status.β The fatty in green laughed gloatingly.
βBut, what I really want to know is, do you really have a woman outside?β Harrison asked, a little embarrassed, but still wanting to know.
βWhat are you asking, this guy is totally in love with his wife, other woman might as well be sticks to him. What other women? Impossible!β The fatty in red smirked, a knowing look on his face.
βThis makes me really glad that I rejected my fatherβs proposal to arrange a marriage for me.β The fatty in green snickered as he nodded his head.
βWhatever, you unmarried guys wonβt understand it. My lovely wife have given me three sons and we have one more on the way. You bachelors dogs are just jealous.β Francois said with some contempt, his tone filled with pride and obvious indulgence.
βHah, that one would probably be a son too, too bad for your wish for a daughter.β Harrison was merciless with his teasing.
βYou take that back, so what if itβs another boy. I donβt care if itβs a boy or a girl, Iβll make sure to bring all four boys to meet your daughter. See how you regret it.β Francois said seriously as he glared at Harrison.
βOld bro, donβt be like this, Iβm just kidding, itβll be girlβ¦ your wife is definitely carrying a lovely daughter. As for your familyβs boys, just donβt let them come near my daughter.β Harrison was a little stunned, waving his hands as he tried to diffuse the situation.
βVery well, just show some of your sincerity with money, lend me 10 gold coins,β Francois held out his hand at Harrison.
βItβs fine, just eat whatever you like, Iβll treat you for today. Thereβs no need to talk about lending or borrowing among us brothers.β Harrison laughed as he pushed away Francoisβ hand.
βI canβt, Iβm planning to bring something home for the missus to eat. Recently her appetite has been quite bad. I wanted to stay with her today, but was lured out by your invitation. So, I thought Iβd get something that would suite her taste. I really canβt take your money for this.β Francois had an embarrassed look on his face even as he laughed, but held out his hand determinedly.
βTsk, tsk, this bro of mine is really a good man, ah. Although sister-in-law mistreats you like this, you still want to bring her good things to eat.β Harrison actually felt quite moved, even as he reached into his bag to fish out a dragon coin for Francois.
βThis is nothing, when she gave birth to our eldest, she had a difficult birth and almost died. I told her to give it up, but she knew I really wanted a daughter and tried for the second and third time, and now thereβs a fourth kid inside her. This kind of wife should be properly loved and pampered, if I play around outside Iβd deserve to be struck by lightning.β Francois accepted the dragon coin as he laughed.
When everyone heard this, they fell silent for a while. They have known each other for years and naturally knew all this. Though they often joked about how Francois lived under his wifeβs thumb, they still respect him for treating his wife so well.
βI think you better not let sister-in-law eat the [Juicy Burger], it might actually cause her to give birth right away. This [Yangzhou Fried Rice] is pretty good and the effect is quite mild and very nourishing. You should bring this for her, itβll probably be good for the child too.β Harrison said.
βVery well, then Iβll bring her some [Yangzhou Fried Rice], it should be that rainbow rice recommended by that little girl, ba?β Francois cast a glance at Amy who was sitting cutely at the counter.β
βThatβs right, however, Iβm not sure if the boss allowed takeaways.β Harrison nodded, his tone a little uncertain. There was no doubt that the [Juicy Burger] could doubled as takeaway food, but asking for a container for fried rice seemed a little odd.
βBoss, Iβd like to take home one serving of [Yanzhou Fried Rice], is that possible?β Francois took the opportunity to ask Mike when he brought their [Juicy Burger] over.
βA takeaway?β Mike placed the [Juicy Burger] on the table, a little surprised by this request. These two days, there had been some customers who bought the [Juicy Burger] to go, however, this was the first time a customer wanted to takeaway [Yangzhou Fried Rice]. Heβd have to consult the [System] about takeaway boxes.
βMy wife is over 6 months pregnant, and her appetite has been quite poor lately, Harrison says your [Yangzhou Fried Rice] is very good, so I thought Iβd bring her some. Maybe sheβll be tempted to eat more.β Francois was perfectly sincere as he said this, a trace of nervousness in his heart remained as there were some restaurants with strict policies about not letting customers bring food home.
Mike looked at Francois. He really did not expect this guy to be a married man. Heβd always felt great respect for men who loved and pampered their wives and quietly asked, β[System], can pregnant women eat [Yangzhou Fried Rice]?β
βThe ingredients provided by the [System] is nutritious and non-poisonous, good for the old and young, sick and disabled. There is nothing in it which could not be eaten safely.β The [System] answered calmly, after a while it continued, βhowever, pregnant women are advised to not eat [Juicy Burgers].β
Mike felt relieved, and said, βThen, Iβd like to buy some takeout boxes. Please print the shop logo onto the cover, itβs best that we use the same logo for everything. Also, make the boxes brown so that the colour pops out more, in order for people to recognise it at once.β
βHost, please treat the [Becoming God of Cooking] properly!β [System]βs voice echoed solemnly in his his head.
More system abuse. Lol
Thank you.

I am re-reading since the chapter where the dwarf first eat the rice and i am now at the part with the fatty being introduced and thought about the wife of the other fatty. It makes me imagine that in the future chapters, they will become not obese -> normal and somehow i can’t help but want to read that the wife was really happy about his weight loss and fell even more in love with him because he became quite a hunk without his bonus fat and we get him saying: “my wife became really clingy/flirty with me since i lost weight.” i only hope that his wife is not a fattie too or i would be disappointed but i guess it could be solved by her eating too the hamburger.
even though she looks a devoted wife, i imagined she married him for his money and her kids are not from him. thought all that in one moment, i hate my pessimist mind.
my heart really craves for loveydoveyness.
Ah, I’m glad you like this story. Since he’s a named character we’ll probably see more of him! I want the novel to stay light and lovely too…
Txs, ba!
Thanks for you comment!
Thanks for the new chapter!
Thanks for your comment!
thank you for the chapter
Thanks for your comment!
also i love this template that is identical of gourmet of another world of : it really pricey but really damn worth it, with it even cheaper then dishes from other restaurants (this part different then gourmet because in it they are the most expensive in the whole world) . i feel like my favorite amongst all the cooking novels you translate is this one with how light-hearted + nice reactions of the clients with the only dislike being the sharp tongue of the loli. can’t wait for more chapters. i only hope it continue to be nice and fluffy without drama.
Ohoho, I do agree with you about the sharp tongue loli.
THank you for this chapter. seeing this fatty being so kind for his wife really warmed my heart, it was a masterpiece moment that you won’t see often in cn, really loveydovey. too bad that mc won’t get loveydovey moments with one/some woman(s) as it looks like it will go the route of gourmet of another world (unless you spoil me there will be romance later).
I can’t spoil you, since I don’t know! Hehe
