Heath froze for a moment, then looked at the man in surprise. But after seeing the embarrassed girl beside him, Heath had a pretty good idea who the man was asking for. It was hardly difficult to guess. The girl was still feeling a little self-conscious after what had happened earlier, and she was surely too embarrassed to speak to him herself, so naturally, she had her boyfriend ask for her.
"Of course. Although we serve hot pot here, if our customers want anything else to eat, we can make it as long as we have the ingredients." Heath smiled. He hadn't taken the girl's words to heart. After all, Leisure Restaurant held such a high standing in Eterna City that he hardly expected to capture its market share quickly, but he wasn't particularly anxious about it, either.
The weather in Eterna City would only get colder over the coming days anyway, and Heath's business would gradually improve. He was confident he could turn anyone who came in for a meal into a regular customer. Although hot pot didn't offer much room for controlling the food, overall, it wasn't all that troublesome. It just couldn't be adjusted too specifically to individual customers' tastes. Still, having a piping-hot pot in cold weather was an enjoyable experience in itself.
"Then do you have Baumkuchen?" the man asked again. Heath nodded, and the man immediately ordered one. Heath asked them to wait a little, then returned to the kitchen to prepare a Baumkuchen for the two customers.
The name Baumkuchen, or tree cake, alone told you what it looked like. After all, making Baumkuchen wasn't particularly complicated. It could even be described as simple, at least for Heath himself. Even a complete novice in the kitchen wouldn't find making a Baumkuchen all that
