A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World (WN)

Chapter 1700: Mamy Restaurant Is Full Of Talents

Nothing could be better than a piping hot bowl of mutton soup on a cold winter day.

As for those who’d just finished the savory and spicy barbecue with some ice-cold beer, a bowl of fragrant mutton soup was equally enticing.

“Father, do I pour the seasoning in this small dish into the soup?” Amy asked as she pointed to the seasoning in front of her.

“No, this is for you to dip the mutton in.” Mag sat down, picked up a piece of mutton, and dipped it in the seasoning. The mutton was immediately covered with sesame, crushed peanuts, and chili powder. The plain-looking mutton suddenly came alive.

Mag put the mutton into his mouth. The taste of the seasoning erupted in his mouth first, waking his taste buds up. The fragrance of the peanut and soybean, coupled with the spiciness from the dried chili and other spices, already filled his mouth before he even started chewing.

The mutton was thin and soft, yet it wasn’t soggy. The fresh soup would seep out of the meat when it was chewed, and there would be an amazing collision of taste between the mutton and the seasoning.

The fresh mutton made the flavors of the seasoning even richer.

This taste came even stronger, unlike the richness of braised meat. The crushed peanut and the soft mutton might seem like an odd combination, but one would know how compatible the two were after trying it.

Even Mag, who had always been very mindful of dining etiquette, could not help but make chewing noises.

This mutton is superb! Mag raised his brows unknowingly. The mutton in the mutton soup had to go with the dry seasoning indeed. Of course, this dry seasoning was also undeniably good.

After swallowing that piece of mutton, the spiciness lingered in his mouth. This was the moment to drink a spoonful of milky white mutton soup, and that made him feel as though he had transcended.

The mutton soup was made with the sheep’s bones. The bone marrow and collagen within the bones had all fused into the soup, giving it a smooth texture and fresh taste, and making it fragrant and not greasy, and thick and not sticky. The soup made its round in the mouth and calmed the taste buds before sliding down into the stomach to release a surge of warmth upwards and to the entire body.

“Damn…”

Mag smiled. This bowl of mutton soup had made his days and nights of hard work worth it.

“This soup is delicious.” Amy, who was at the side, was already gulping the soup down right from the bowl.

“Having the mutton alone is a little too plain, but after dipping it in the dry seasoning, it’s a totally different experience. It’s so delicious I almost bit my tongue. How amazing!” Camilla exclaimed.

“Yes. This dry seasoning is good. Although it’s a little spicy, it’s really fragrant.” Miya nodded in agreement.

After finishing the barbecue, the bowl of mutton soup was a good end to the banquet.

“Babla, please stay for a while. I have something to ask you.” Irina called Babla back.

“Hm?” Babla looked at Irina with bewilderment, but she still stood still obediently.

In the past, she’d never had an idol, but she did after meeting Irina.

She fully admired the other party for all her legendary stories, and was even willing to become Irina’s little fangirl.

“I heard that you’ve repaired an ancient spell formation to teleport yourself to this world,” Irina asked in a lowered voice after pulling Babla to a corner.

“Mm-hmm… that’s true.” Babla nodded her head in despair. Don’t mention that darn spell formation anymore.

If it were not for that darn spell formation, she would still have been an honorable princess at the Moon Nation.

However, if it were not for that darn spell formation, she would not have arrived in this world, and she would not have tasted so many delicacies or met such good friends.

Compared to the Moon Nation, the Norland Continent was really a vast area of land. It was just a pity she did not have the opportunity to travel further.

“In that case, can you understand this spell formation?” Irina opened her hands to reveal in her palm a photostone, which had the corner of the spell formation.

Babla went forward and looked at it seriously. She nodded, and said, “This spell formation seems to be from a very ancient era, but it seems to be from the same period as the one that I repaired previously because it has many of the same inscriptions. I can understand some of it.”

“Really?” Irina looked at Babla in shock. Some of the best spell formation masters had seen this photostone today, but Babla was the only one who said she could understand some of it.

“Yes. I’ve read a lot in order to repair that spell formation. There is plenty of ancient literature in the Moon Nation library. That includes specific texts on ancient spell formations. However, this spell formation seems rather complicated. I’m not certain that I can understand it all.” Babla nodded. She was a little happy that she could display some of her capabilities in front of her idol.

“Alright. You don’t have to work tomorrow. Follow me somewhere,” Irina said with satisfaction as she kept the photostone.

“Huh?” Babla was stunned. She looked at Mag instinctively. “But…”

“It’s alright. I have the final say,” Irina said. She could tell what Babla was worried about.

“Alright.” Babla smiled immediately. True, Irina is a superb 10th-tier powerhouse and also the elf princess. Boss couldn’t possibly stop her.

“Go ahead. Angela is going to start work officially tomorrow, and Shirley’s back too. There’s no problem.” Indeed, when Mag heard that, all he did was glance at her and nodded with consent.

“I’m… not fired, right?” Babla asked with a frown. Based on what Mag meant, it felt as though she was a tool that could be easily replaced. That made her feel danger since she had always thought of herself as the pillar of support for the restaurant.

“Of course not. You are a very important employee,” Mag said with a smile. He didn’t know why this lady would suddenly feel as though she was dispensable. She alone was as good as 10 people.

“That’s great.” Babla smiled. Indeed, the restaurant couldn’t dismiss her.

Everyone bade their farewell. After playing the entire day and eating so many delicacies, everyone was tired, so they quickly went back to wash up and turn in.

Gina bade Mag and everyone else goodnight, and went upstairs to sleep.

Amy had already fallen asleep on the table with Ugly Duckling in her arms.

“Little fellow.” Mag smiled and carried Amy in one arm while picking Ugly Duckling up with the other. While walking upstairs, he softly asked, “How’s the situation over there?”

“No one could understand the ancient spell formation. There’s no progress on the repair work at all.” Irina shook her head.

“I didn’t expect that we would have to rely on an employee from my restaurant to finally solve this. Mamy Restaurant is full of talents,” Mag commented.
