Making 41
Because it was Saturday, Evermore Diner had many customers.
A dozen or so tourists, obviously from out of town, took up two to three tables.
And a middle–aged woman in her 40s wearing an apron smiled and poured coffee for these tourists, chatting with them from time to time, with a loud voice.
This smiling middle–aged woman was Gilmore’s mother, Sophia Reed.
As the footsteps approached. Sophia assumed that more guests had arrived, and she just said, “Welcome…”
Before Sephia could finish her words, she saw Gilmore and Gerald.
“Gilmore!” Sophia exclaimed with a joyful smile.
She even shouted to her husband, who was cooking in the kitchen, “Our son is back!”

While his father, who was cooking in the kitchen, replied, “Let your son come in to help me. The guests are waiting for the dishes…
But Sophia ignored her husband and said to Gilmore, ‘Gilmore, I’m going in to serve the dishes. You must be very tired.
Take a rest.”
Gilmore said to her mother, “Mom, I’m okay. I’ll serve them the dishes. You should sit,”
Sophia kept saying, Tm not tired at all. Let me
Although she said this, she couldn’t help but feel a deep warmth in her heart due to Gilmore’s caring and thoughtful nature towards her.
However, Gilmore pressed his mother on the chair and introduced Gerald to her, “Mom, this is my classmate’Gerald
Graves.”
Sophia greeted Gerald warmly, exclaiming, “Oh, you’re Gilmore’s classmate! Please have a seat.”
Gerald said, “Thank you, Mrs. Reed.”
Gilmore walked into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, a middle–aged man in a white chef’s uniform and hat was holding the handle of a wok in one hand and a turner in the other, stirring quickly from time to time.
He is focused, with bright piercing eyes.
The master chef’s demeanor was on full display.
The chef in the kitchen was Gilmore’s father, Harlan Reed.
Gilmore, you’re back,” Harlan said to Gilmore while cooking.
Gilmore responded with a casual “hmm‘ and proceeded to pick up the two dishes before making his way out.

“Evermore Diner has your name in it. Is this the restaurant that your family runs!” Gerald looked at the signboard of the restaurant and asked Gilmore,
Gilmore nodded, “That’s right. This is my family’s restaurant. I’m Gilmore, and my sister’s name is Everly!
Gilmore had a younger sister called Everly Reed.
His parents decided to name the restaurant after their children because, to them, their kids meant the world.

Because of so many guests outside, they didn’t chat much, and went about their own business.
After all the dishes ordered by the guests were prepared, Harlan cooked a few more dishes and brought them to an empty table in the hall with his son.
They finally sat down. Sophia and Gerald also went over.
Everyone started to eat.
While the guests were drinking and chatting, they were also chatting.
A small restaurant in the countryside was quite casual.
“Gilmore, why are you back today?” Harlan asked while serving a piece of meat to his son.
Gilmore said. “I haven’t been back for several months so I came back to see you.”
“Why? You should focus on studying hard at school and have a promising future. That’s more important than anything else.” Harlan served himself a piece of meat and began to eat happily
Sophia patted her husband’s sturdy shoulder and complained, “What are you talking about? How rare it is for our son to come back!*
All of a sudden, Harlan turned into a docile kitten. Other than eating, he didn’t dare to say anything.
Gilmore found them funny.
This was the funny “food chain” of their family. Gilmore and his sister were afraid of their father, their father was afraid of their mother, and their mother always protected Gilmore and his sister.
Everything has its vanquisher.
But no matter what, his family was warm.
Gilmore consoled his mother, “Mom, Dad is right. He just wants me to study hard.”
Seeing that son wasn’t angry, Sophia smiled, “Anyhow, I hope that you could visit me more often.”
Gilmore said, “Mom, in addition to visiting you this time, I would still like to take you to Oakhaven.”
“No, no, son. It costs a lot of money to live in a provincial capital city like Oakhaven. After you graduate and have a job, we will go.” Sophia said with a smile.
Obviously, she thought that Gilmore wanted to take them to Oakhaven to have a tour.
As for the trip to Oakhaven, transportation, lodging, and meals could cost a lot.
Of course, Sophia was reluctant to waste the money.
“Mom, I’m not asking you to have a tour in Oakhaven. I’d like you to settle down there in the future.” Gilmore knew that his mother misunderstood what he meant, so he explained to her.
Not only Sophia, but even Harlan was shocked.
They thought, “Settle down in Oakhaven in the future?
“Seriously?”
However, when they saw Gilmore’s serious face, they got that he wasn’t joking at all.
Only then did they know that their son was serious.
Sophia looked at his son and began to complain, “Son, if we were to open a restaurant in Oakhaven, we would have to pay rent. However, we currently have the advantage of not having to worry about that expense since we operate in our own place.
“Also, with more demanding customers and more competition in cities, we’re not sure if we’ll be able to make money.
“You and Everly are still studying, and there will be various expenses. We really cannot afford this risk.”
She was telling the truth.
Even Harlan couldn’t find a reason to object.
At this moment, a well–dressed middle–aged man next to them said to Sophia, “Madam, if you open the restaurant in Oakhaven, I’m sure it will be quite popular
Both Sophia and Harlan were confused. With doubts in her heart, Sophia asked the man, “Are you sure?”
“Of course!” The guest said with certainty. “I’m from Oakhaven. Although there are all kinds of delicacies, they are either. seasoned or rely on various complicated cooking techniques, which make the food lose its original fresh and sweet natural
taste.”
Having said that, the guest picked up the dishes and said. “And your dishes have a natural taste which is hard to be found in restaurants in cities. This is the deliciousness we have ever wanted.”
The other guests nodded in agreement, echoing, “That’s right!”
“Rural dishes are much more delicious than heavy food in the city.”
“If you open a restaurant in Oakhaven, we will surely frequent there.”
Hearing this, Sophia and her husband Harlan were so happy and said to the guests, “Thank you, everyone!”
Then, Sophia smiled and said to Gilmore, “Gilmore, did you realize that this kind of rustic food restaurant is what Oakhaven lacks the most, and that’s why you asked us to open a restaurant there?”
Gilmore didn’t know what to say.
When he was about to explain, his father said, “Well, our son is a student at Oakhaven University, a prestigious university. Of course he could find such a business opportunity. Eat some more
While speaking, Harlan served his wife a piece of lean meat.
Obviously, Harlan also thought that Gilmore’s suggestion to move to Oakhaven was driven by the business prospects he saw in the field of rustic food.
Although he deliberately pretended as if nothing happened, it could still be told that he was very proud of his son.
Gilmore and Gerald were both speechless.

Gilmore had no choice but to say, “Yes, I just found that there are very few rustic food restaurants in Oakhaven, so I asked you to open a restaurant there. In this case, the business will be very good.”
“Okay, we’ll listen to you this time and open a restaurant Oakhaven to make a name for the rustic food of Springvale!” With confidence. Sophia smiled and said.
