Chapter 1642: Every Glass You Drink Is A Glass Less
Darren looked at Adolphus, and thought for a while. His eyes lit up as he said, “Are you the doctor from this morning?”
“Yes.” Adolphus nodded. Judging from how Darren’s pupils constricted and dilated, he was certain that Darren could see.
Darren nodded meekly with a smile, and said, “Yes, I can already see some things. Although my vision is still a little blurry, I am able to see.”
“I’m sorry, doctor, we still have to trouble you to help us look after our snow sledge. We forgot to collect it this afternoon,” Lucy said apologetically to Adolphus. As Darren fell asleep so suddenly in the afternoon, she had forgotten all about the snow sledge.
“It’s alright. I’ve kept the snow sledge for you.” Adolphus waved his hand. What was important now wasn’t the snow sledge, but the young boy’s eyes. How was he able to recover his vision in such a short span of time? Even if he had only recovered part of his vision, it was still an unbelievable feat.
“Pardon me for asking, which doctor treated your eyes?” Adolphus asked Darren. He already had his conjecture, but it was still hard to believe.
“I didn’t look for a doctor. Mr. Christopher brought me here to have roasted pig’s eyes, and then I went back to sleep. When I woke up, I could see.” Darren shook his head. He glanced across the crowd, and into the kitchen. He looked at Mag, who was busy in the kitchen. Although his vision was a blur, his eyes lit up as he said, “It’s him. He treated my eyes.”
“Indeed… it’s roasted pig’s eyes.” Adolphus felt parched. There was this inexplicable feeling inside him.
Half of him was happy that this young boy could be cured and regain his vision. The other half of him was… He didn’t have the words to describe it, actually.
As an ophthalmologist with 30 years of experience, and someone renowned as the best ophthalmologist in Chaos City, he also had his pride and ego.
But a case where even he was stumped was treated by the owner of a restaurant with just 10 skewers of roasted pig’s eyes?
Such a sense of defeat was even more unacceptable than if the boy was treated by other doctors.
“Hm? Isn’t that Dr. Adolphus?”
“Yes. He is the best ophthalmologist in Chaos City, and treated countless patients with ophthalmological diseases.”
“I didn’t expect him to be eating at Mamy Restaurant too.”
Many people recognized Adolphus, and there were even familiar faces greeting him. However, not many of them noticed the sorrow in his eyes.
“Dr. Adolphus.” Christopher turned around and greeted Adolphus with a smile. He was just about to explain Darren’s situation when he noticed the doctor did not look too good. Immediately, he understood why, and said, “What a coincidence, you’re here for dinner too. We’ll talk again another time. I’ll bring the children over to that table. There are not many seats left.”
“Alright. We’ll talk again.” Adolphus looked at Christopher gratefully, and returned to his seat.
“Now you can rest easy. This child’s eyes will definitely be cured. Don’t worry too much about it. Boss Mag is a really nice person. Of course, he’s also a talent,” Jason comforted Adolphus with a gentle pat on his shoulder when he saw the latter’s expression.
“You know that I’m not one who would be jealous over people’s talents,” Adolphus said seriously.
“If you had been one, I would have been murdered 100 times by you.”
“You don’t even have any talent,” Adolphus said with a smile and a roll of his eyes.
“Alright, alright. Let’s not talk about this. Let’s talk about this rum. How many glasses do you want to have tonight? Boss Mag would never lie. He said that there’s not much left. That means that it would be gone in a few days. Every glass you drink is a glass less.” Jason changed the topic.
“Then I’ll definitely have a few more glasses.”
“Don’t say that I didn’t warn you. This 15-year-old brew is no joke. Even with my alcohol tolerance, I can only take two and a half glasses, and I’ll have to be carried out.”
Adolphus thought seriously for a while, and said, “Then I’ll have half a glass.”
“Sure. Then that’s four glasses in total for us.” Jason nodded. He opened the menu and pushed it towards Adolphus. “Here, order some dishes to go with the drink.”
Adolphus looked at the menu. There were pictures on the menu that were true to the dishes. Very quickly, his gaze landed on the roasted pig’s eyes. 300 copper coins for one skewer.
300 copper coins could fetch a huge pig trotter in Chaos City. A huge pig trotter that could feed a big family for two meals.
A skewer of roasted pig’s eyes for 300 copper coins was a very high price.
However, since the roasted pig’s eyes could cure such a serious eye disease, it didn’t seem too much to sell a skewer for 300 copper coins. He had seen many who were willing to fork out their entire family fortune to regain their sight. If they could be treated by eating roasted pig’s eyes, they would be more than willing to pay 3,000 copper coins, or even 30,000 copper coins for one skewer, not to mention 300 copper coins.
“Do you want to try this?” Jason saw that Adolphus’s gaze was fixed on the roasted pig’s eyes. He smilingly said, “I saw that everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves with this dish. Why don’t we order a few skewers to try today?”
“Can normal customers without eye diseases order it too?” Adolphus asked.
“Of course. Boss Mag didn’t say that this could treat eye diseases. The customers discovered it themselves today. It’s the same for those women who came for the tofu pudding to become even more beautiful. They might even lose to those big and burly men lining up in front. After all, gender doesn’t have anything to do with liking a dish as delicious as tofu pudding. Its taste alone is to die for. Whether it has any beautifying effects isn’t important at all,” Jason said with a smile.
“200 copper coins for a snack is also worth it?” Adolphus glanced at the price of the tofu pudding.
“You can ask the service staff if you still have the chance to get the tofu pudding. I strongly recommend the sweet tofu pudding. It’s more blissful than eating sweets,” Jason recommended with a face full of seriousness.
“Hello, may I take your orders?” Yabemiya, who happened to reach their table, asked with a smile.
“We want four glasses of rum, two skewers of roasted pig’s eyes, and a plate of medium spicy grilled fish,” Jason ordered quickly, and added, “Right, do you still have tofu pudding?”
“Yes. But we don’t have much left for both flavors,” Miya answered with a smile.
“That’s great. Give us two servings of sweet tofu pudding.” Jason made the decision for Adolphus without hesitation before turning to look at him, and asking, “Is there anything else you want?”
“That’s it for now.” Adolphus glanced at the spicy grilled fish. That proportion seemed enough for both of them. He closed the menu.
