In the restaurant, Harlan courteously led Claire and Denton over to a table.
He poured tea for them as he said, “Miss Carter, Mr. Carter, welcome to my small restaurant,”
Claire smiled at him. “Thank you, Mr. Reed
The bodyguards sat at other tables randomly.
At this moment, Denton looked at Claire and said, “You told me that this restaurant has food therapy and that its business will definitely boom. But no customers have come to eat here. Why’s that?”
In fact, Claire wanted to tell her grandfather that those words had come from Gilmore, not her.
But now the restaurant was empty, and there were so many people just looking on from outside.
Of course, she could not mention Gilmore now.
Otherwise, her grandfather would doubt not only her investing ability, but also Gilmore’s abilities.
It wasn’t easy for her grandfather to cancel her marriage into the Palmer family.
If he didn’t like Gilmore in the future, she would likely have to get engaged to Benjamin again.
Grandpa, this is the first day that the restaurant has been open. Those people outside have never tasted rustic food before, so they don’t know how delicious they are, Claire explained awkwardly.
But in fact, she had never tasted Evermore Diner’s rustic food before either, just like those people outside.
Denton’s expression obviously showed that he did not believe her.
He had come to Evermore Diner because she mentioned repeatedly to him that it was different from other restaurants and it focused on food therapy.
Moreover, Claire said that food therapy would become the most popular trend in the food industry.
She also told him that she was going to invest a lot in food therapy to seize the opportunity in the market in advance.
Within a few years, she could build a restaurant group, the market scale of which would be as big as that of the Carter family’s chip industry.
Mr. Carter also felt that the concept of food therapy was innovative and had the potential to create a huge market.
So he agreed to come to Evermore Diner to have a look.
However, seeing that the restaurant was empty on its first day of business, Denton felt a little disappointed.
But no matter how disappointed he was, he had to eat here before going back. If he didn’t, it would greatly damage Claire’s
confidence.
Therefore, he looked at Harlan and said, “I’m a little hungry. I want some of your best rustic food. Let me have a taste.”
“Mr. Carter wants to taste rustic food?” Harlan thought.
He instantly felt refreshed and extremely happy. He hurriedly replied, “Mr. Carter, please give me a moment, I’ll go cook a few dishes for you right now.”
Denton nodded slightly. Actually, he didn’t think rustic food would be very delicious. If it weren’t for Claire, he wouldn’t eat
in this restaurant
Harlan and his wife, Sophia, walked into the kitchen in high spirits.
From the kitchen came the sounds of the exhaust ventilation, burning oil, and cooking.
Soon, a waiter served the dishes. He put them on the table for Denton and Claire.
There was roast chicken cooked in an ancient way, mac and cheese, tonic drink, rice noodles, and so on. All the staple food. drinks, and dishes were there.
Claire looked at the food. She was familiar with some of it, such as the roast chicken and rice noodles, which could be seen everywhere in Oakhaven
However, tonic drink and mac and cheese were novel to her. She had never tasted them before.
The other dishes looked a little familiar, but they were different from the ones she knew
So she wanted to have a taste of them even more.
Two waitresses scooped out the thick, green tonic drink from a ceramic container with long spoons and poured it into two bowls for Denton and Claire respectively.
Then the two girls introduced it to them. “Mr. Carter, Miss Carter, this is the most famous tonic drink from Springvale, Elmwood
“It’s made with more than a dozen wild herbs with health benefits. With a fresh, natural flavor, it’s very delicious.
Of course, it was Harlan who had told the waitresses
His purpose was to let the diners know the characteristics of the tonic drink
After hearing their introduction, Claire was very interested in it.
Denton nodded slightly. Obviously, the drink made with a dozen kinds of wild herbs aroused his curiosity
Claire said to him, “Grandpa, let’s try it.”
“Okay. He nodded in reply, then scooped up the thick, green drink with a spoon and took a sip.
Then the old man frowned.
Seeing this, the waiters around him were shocked. “Does Mr. Carter think that the tonic drink isn’t delicious?
Just as they were feeling puzzled, the old man scooped up some more again and took another sip
Then a third sip a fourth.
He couldn’t stop tasting it. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
But he frowned deeper and deeper.
This made the waters next to him increasingly feel that he didn’t like it at all.
Awaiter sneaked into the kitchen and reported the situation to Harlan, who was busy cooking.
Hearing that, Harlan was so scared that the spatula in his hand fell into the pot.
Wed, Aug
He looked panicked. His eyes were dull as he said, “This is not good. Mr. Carter must think that tonic drink tastes bad!”
“I can’t believe that my restaurant will get a bad reputation on the first day of business. No one will come to eat here in the future.”
With a sad face, Harlan pulled himself together and handed the spatula to his wife. “You stay here and cook. I’ll go take
look!”
Then, he followed the waiter out of the kitchen and went into the dining area.
As soon as they arrived, they were immediately shocked.

Because they saw that Mr. Carter and Claire were wolfing down the food on the table, as if they had been starving for several days.
Claire, a beautiful lady from a wealthy family, didn’t care about her image anymore. She tore off the wings from the chicken with both hands and began to eat until her mouth and hands were covered with grease.
However, she did not care about that at all. It seemed that there was only delicious food in her eyes.
Even Mr. Carter, a man of authoritative presence, couldn’t stop eating at the moment.
As they ate, they couldn’t help saying, “Delicious! It’s so delicious
However, Harlan found that although Mr. Carter said that it was delicious, his brows were still tightly furrowed.
He suddenly understood. Mr. Carter frowned not because the food tasted bad, but because it was just too delicious.
This made Harlan very delighted.
