Chapter 1032 F*ck! Who Can Withstand That!
Mag was speechless. What was this lady trying to describe!
She just purely ate a chicken, alright!?
In order to prevent this daft mermaid from making things worse, Mag quickly explained, “Gina should be talking about the new dish I’m intending to launch tonight, the beggar’s chicken. Last night, I was making it, and she happened to be downstairs, so I got her to help me try it. Unexpectedly, she managed to breathe in air after eating the beggar’s chicken.”
“I see. Boss, you’re going to launch a new dish again? That’s great!” Yabemiya’s eyes lit up, and she looked pretty excited.
Everyone’s eyes lit up as well. When Mag launched a new dish, they would be able to try new delicious food.
Only, what chicken was that beggar’s chicken?
Gina actually could breathe on land after eating it. That was way too incredible.
“Beggar’s chicken is a form of roasted chicken. If everything goes according to plan, there will be two orcs coming to challenge me this afternoon. You will find out when the time comes,” Mag said with a smile to the curious group.
“I believe that it will definitely be a new delicacy!” Yabemiya said confidently.
“Right, Gina, since you can already breathe in air, do you want to come over to the ice cream shop with us to play for a while?” Miya motioned to Gina. After the past two days, everyone could already carry a simple conversation with her with the help of hand gestures.
“Go out?” Gina’s eyes lit up. Although she saw customers of various species today, she still only stood by the doors and windows to look out at the world from far away, and did not leave the restaurant for fear of hypoxia.
“Can I?” She was not anxious to reply Yabemiya. Instead, she looked at Mag.
“Go ahead, it’s good to walk around too.” Mag nodded with a smile. He had been so busy making beggar’s chicken for the past two days that he had no time for Gina, so he forgot to bring her around.
“Mr. Mag, do you want to go along with us?” Gina motioned again.
“Then I will go too,” Mag said with a nod after thinking for a while. The intense concentration on making beggar’s chicken for the past two days had put a toll on him. It was good to walk around and relax for a while too.
Other than Firis who decided to stay to continue practicing her culinary skills, the rest left.
Before he left, Mag specially gave Gina an extra warm large woolen coat.
The heavy snow from a few days ago had almost completely melted, leaving only a layer of frost on roofs, making it cold and moist.
However, the sun was out today, and it made one feel warm, expelling much of the cold.
Gina looked around curiously. There were various stalls along the street and squares filled with different types of plants. Everything looked new and interesting to her.
Everywhere was bustling with life, a scene that could not be found in Lantisde.
Everyone wore a smile on their face, as though they all had something happen to them.
“Is that white thing snow?!” Gina said with surprise when she noticed the white snow acc.u.mulated on roofs.
Her mother told her about snow once. That was something that could only be seen on land. It was as soft as a feather, and it was beautiful when it fluttered down from the sky.
“That’s snow. It’s almost melted, but the winter cold came very early this year, so there would definitely be a few more heavy snows,” Yabemiya said with a smile.
“It’s going to snow again?” Gina did not understand completely, but she could understand the second half of the sentence, so her smile became even brighter.
If she could see snow, she would be the only merfolk who had seen snow in Lantisde. That would be utterly blissful!
“When it snows again, we can build a snowman together and have a snow fight. It’s super fun!”
“Gina, you live at the bottom of the sea, so you haven’t seen snow, right? Let me tell you…”
The ladies started going on and on along the way, attracting many gazes because of their laughter.
Yabemiya, Elizabeth, Babla, s.h.i.+rley, and Gina each had their distinct beauty, so any one of them would attract gazes when they walked on the road.
Now that they were all together, they naturally took the limelight, attracting the gazes of people along the entire street.
Everything would be magnified under the limelight.
Not to mention the eyesore of a man.
Mag, who was in the middle of a group of pretty ladies, was just like a wooden club in the middle of a bouquet of delicate and vibrant fresh flowers, making one feel uncomfortable no matter how they looked at it, especially in the eyes of men.
“The sweet type, the ice beauty, the lolita, the voluptuous, the pure style… Oh my G.o.d! Is he collecting girls?”
“F*ck! Who can withstand that!”
“The winner in life that makes one envious!”
The men all looked at Mag with envy and jealousy.
“Envious?” a young lady asked the man beside her who had his eyes glued to them.
“Envious.” The man nodded subconsciously.
Slap!
A slap resounded.
“Still envious?”
“No… Not envious anymore…”
Slap! Slap!
“How dare you lie to me!”
“Then… envious?”
Slap! Slap! Slap!
“You still dare to be envious?!”
“Not envious anymore! Not envious anymore! My wife is the most beautiful one…”
A certain man covered his face, wanting to cry. Women were scary indeed. Wasn’t she a cute and gentle little kitten before they got married…
Mag’s expression did not change despite feeling the jealousy and anger of the entire street. He had been through all kinds of situations. In the past, he would always have a beautiful female partner with him whenever he went out.
He loved this feeling of being hated when they could not do anything to him.
Mm, it feels really good.
“The new Delicious Cuisine Ranking is coming out today. Would the Mamy Restaurant be on the list?” Anna asked curiously when they walked past the Food a.s.sociation’s ranking board.
“Definitely. The food Boss makes is so delicious. It would be strange if we didn’t make it onto the list,” Yabemiya said confidently.
“There are six lists here. I wonder how many of them we can get onto.” s.h.i.+rley was also curious.
As the ladies discussed, Mag continued smiling without saying a word.
His goal was not how many lists they made it onto, but to dominate the rankings.
After sitting in the ice cream shop for a while, Mag met Curtis and Kyle.
Kyle had already recovered greatly after having red braised pork for several days straight. His pale complexion started turning green, making him look more like an orc. He also seemed to be more energetic. Other than getting tired easily, there was not much difference between him and normal children.
The father and son expressed their sincere grat.i.tude towards Mag, and the child’s improvement also made Mag feel glad. At the same time, he felt a renewed sense of responsibility towards his career.
Although he was just a chef, at certain times, he might become a doctor.
It was a very extraordinary change in ident.i.ty, and it was all because of a dish.
After sitting for a while more in the ice cream shop, Mag brought Gina around Aden Square, and when they pa.s.sed by the Delicious Cuisine Ranking board, it happened to be the countdown to the release of the results.
Mag was a little surprised. When he saw the countdown at 60 seconds on the screen, he could not help but pause.
“What a coincidence, let’s take a look then.”
