Chapter 1924: That Way, You Can Make The Baddies Scared
Mag squeezed out some time to go to the Delicacy Extravaganza. After the first three days of hype, it was now even more crowded there. There were many customers around the stalls.
Meanwhile, the Little Sys Seafood Shop had its one-man show. Without any ready-made delicacy, just with the video tutorial on the screen beside the stall, it managed to successfully attract customers to form a long line outside to buy octopus tentacles.
Mag only watched from afar, and did not disturb Alia and the rest at work.
There were 12 employees at the stall. Alia had to have deployed two other employees to manage the high work volume.
The good-looking elves with their gentle demeanor and swift actions managed to form a beautiful scenery at Little Sys Seafood Shop.
I was right about her. Mag watched the highly efficient seafood stall, and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed like this last-minute-appointed manager had no problem coping at all.
Meanwhile, Mag smiled when he saw the housewives craning their necks as they watched the tutorials seriously. He loved people who were passionate about learning.
“Say, is this really delicious? Has anyone tried it?” a young housewife asked curiously.
“I bought 250 g of octopus tentacles yesterday, and tried making the stir-fried octopus tentacles at home. Although I didn’t do it as well, I added too much salt, and burnt it a little. The taste… is really awesome!
“My husband and son never dared to eat the food I made, but they actually finished the burnt food yesterday. That sense of satisfaction is immense. Sis, go learn it quickly,” a big and tall housewife said.
“Yes, learn it and whip up something good so that your husband would go home early after work.” The young housewife at the side nodded. “I’m here today to solidify my learnings. I made a few mistakes in some steps yesterday, but the food still came out better than what I usually make. I came today with a notebook just to take notes.”
Mag walked past and nodded with satisfaction. Such eager learners were the best. Hopefully, there would be more people like that.
Mag circled around the area, bought a few snacks that looked pretty good, and brought the food to the magic potion shop.
The moment he entered the shop, he saw Amy squatting on the floor, eating grass with Ugly Duckling.
“Wh-what’s going on?” Mag looked at the two little fellows. Although the pot of grass was fresh and green, it was, after all, a pot of grass. Ugly Duckling could have a little to aid its digestion, but what was Amy doing eating the grass as well? Had the food at home become that bad recently?
“Father, this grass is really delicious. Do you want to try some?” Amy looked up at Mag as she chewed on a blade of grass. She stretched out her hand to offer Mag another blade of grass she pulled out.
Mag did not want to try it. However, seeing Amy’s expectant gaze, he had no choice but to bend over, and take the blade of grass from Amy. After that, he put it into his mouth and chewed on it.
The grass was very fresh and tender. After chewing on it, juice started seeping out. It was rather sweet and refreshing, and was actually… quite good?
“Isn’t it delicious?” Amy asked expectantly.
“Mm-hm. It is pretty good.” Mag nodded. He saw Amy reaching out to grab a bunch of grass blades for him, and quickly stopped her, saying, “Look, I brought you guys some delicious food. Let’s leave the grass aside for now.”
Although the grass was delicious, it was still rather strange for a grown man, a cat, and a child to eat it. Therefore, Mag quickly lifted the bag of snacks in his hand to entice Amy.
Indeed, Amy’s gaze was immediately attracted to the snacks. She took the bag of snacks over from Mag, and thanked him. After that, she ran over to a small table at the side, and even called Annie and Ugly Duckling over to join her.
“Annie just learned how to expedite growth, and this pot of grass was the result of her learning. I didn’t expect Ugly Duckling and Amy to like it. The grass is not poisonous, and having a little of it could aid digestion, so I didn’t stop them,” Xixi explained to Mag.
“It is pretty good. Even I would like some more,” Mag said with a smile. He looked at Annie, who had a little drumstick in her hand as she sat beside Amy, and said, “I didn’t expect Annie to learn magic so quickly.”
“Annie is really talented in magic. On top of that, she seemed very adept at nature magic. I almost suspected if she was a lost child of the dryads.” Xixi looked at Annie with satisfaction. After that, she turned to look at Mag, and asked softly, “Where did you meet Annie?”
“I met this child in the snowy plains. I don’t think she belongs to the dryads.” Mag shook his head with a smile. He stared dotingly at Amy and Annie who were eating their drumsticks happily, and said, “Now, she’s my child.”
“Tsk. Go on boasting. I am not at all envious.” Xixi caressed her stomach and smiled lovingly.
“Xixi, are you pregnant?” Mag looked at Xixi’s stomach in shock. He did hear about Xixi and Lulu wanting to have a child.
“Speaking of which, I still have to thank you for it,” Xixi said with a sweet smile.
“Hey, hey, hey. Don’t say such things.” Mag quickly waved his hands, and took a quick glance at the door to check if Lulu had returned.
“What are you thinking of… I mean that I have to thank you and Princess Irina for curing me so that I can have this child,” Xixi said with a smile.
“You’re welcome.” Mag shook his head with a smile. He was genuinely happy for this couple who wanted to revive the dryads.
Amy chewed on the drumstick, and walked over to Mag with another drumstick in her hand as she said seriously, “Father, Master said that there were a lot of baddies outside the city recently. You have to eat more and wear more to look big and fat. That way, you can make the baddies scared.”
“Mm-hm. That does sound reasonable.” Mag received the drumstick with a smile and bit on it. The drumstick was fried pretty well. The outer layer was slightly hard, but it was still quite crispy and fragrant. The meat was also very tender. It was one of the good snacks that he gained from the Delicacy Extravaganza.
Of course, it would be even better if there was a pint of beer to go with it.
The two children still had to attend classes, so Mag ate with them for a while before leaving for the restaurant as he got ready for the afternoon operations once again.
Firis was the first to arrive at the restaurant because Mag had decided to teach her how to make the tofu series food other than the roast beef kebab and pepper steak.
Anna was also early because she had requested to sit in to learn how to make tofu pudding.
Mag had no reason to reject the ladies who were more interested in cooking than magic.
“Soybean is a very magical ingredient. Whether you make it into a refreshing cup of soybean milk or a bowl of silky tofu pudding, they all start from a soybean…” Mag grabbed a handful of soybeans that had been soaked in water as he began his class.
