Chapter 1011 Then Let Me Make A Ugly Duckling FirsHe cursed the system silently 10 times for making him face a duel for no reason before continuing shopping around the marketplace with Amy, who looked regretful.“Big Brother, are you going to let that fellow off just like that?” Eugene was indignant.
“Eugene, how many times have I told you that in Chaos City, you need to think before you act. If you break the rules, you will be locked up. When that happens, we will not be able to continue our roast chicken business, and will have to go back to the tribe,” Fabien said helplessly.
“But that fellow—”
“Since he had already arranged a roast chicken battle with us, we’ll just have to wait for that fair duel at the place he mentioned three days later. He was right. Chefs have their way of battling. Fighting and killing aren’t how a chef should act,” Fabien interrupted Eugene.
“Mamy Restaurant? It’s quite a famous restaurant, right? Could he be the boss?”
“The missing-person notice a couple of days ago was given out by Mamy Restaurant. I heard that the food in the restaurant is delicious.”
“In that case, we can go over and take a look three days later.”
The passersby were all talking about it, and some were prepared to go over to watch the show.
…
After walking around for a while more, Mag brought Amy back to the restaurant. The little fellow ran over to the magic potion shop with Ugly Duckling to look for Black Coal and Green Pea, while he returned to the kitchen to start studying that experience bag he received.
Just like before, when he opened the glimmering, gold experience bag, the recipe and experience for making beggar’s chicken rushed into his mind.
The most famous beggar’s chicken was naturally Changshu’s beggar’s chicken. It was famous because of “The Legend of the Condor Heroes”, but it was already very difficult to find one that was cooked in the traditional way: wrapped in lotus leaves, covered in clay, and then cooked with coal. Mag had only had it twice in the past. The first one was not bad, but on the second time, he had to leave after taking a small bite.
In a modernized kitchen, the current trend was to make it using the microwave oven or oven. Many even made do without the lotus leaves. However, in order to taste the authentic beggar’s chicken, one would naturally have to use the traditional method.
This beggar’s chicken recipe that the system provided should be considered an improved recipe from the traditional beggar’s chicken. However, the essential clay, lotus leaves, and coal were not left out because it was troublesome. Without them, the essence of the beggar’s chicken would be lost.
Without the test field for the God of Cookery chance, and with only three days, Mag had to make use of all the time he had to create a delicious beggar’s chicken.
Luckily, the system unlocked all the ingredients, and also provided the kitchenware needed for making beggar’s chicken. At this moment, beside the roast duck oven, there was an additional three-tier coal oven. It was a highly efficient coal oven that the system designed specially to roast beggar’s chicken.
Mag closed his eyes to digest the sudden influx of information in his brain. When he opened his eyes again, everything was clear.
“Alright, let’s start with this chicken first.” Mag put on the apron that was hanging at the side, took out a defeathering tool, and prepared three yellow chickens[1].
…
In the evening, Amy peeked her little head into the kitchen, and asked Mag, “Father, Big Sister Xixi also wants to join tonight’s birthday party. Shouldn’t we set off now?”
Mag looked at the three yellow chickens that were completely stuffed in his hands and nodded with satisfaction. He glanced at his watch. It was almost 5 pm. He quickly put the three yellow chickens back into the fridge and took his apron off. He said, “Yes, we should be setting off.”
“Amy told me about that child. I want to take a look. Perhaps I can provide some help for him,” Xixi told Mag at the restaurant’s entrance.
“Your healing magic is so powerful. If it works, that child will be really lucky.” Mag nodded. Xixi was the most powerful healing magic caster he had seen so far. Great Dryad’s nature magic did have a very strong healing ability.
The closed sign was already hung on the door of the ice cream shop, and the curtains were down to block out people’s gazes.
Mag knocked on the door, and Miya opened it quickly. When she saw the people standing at the door, she smilingly said, “Boss, you guys are here.”
“How are the preparations?” Mag asked as he walked in.
“Almost done. We didn’t have to decorate much because our shop’s theme was originally snow and ice.” Miya nodded, and only then noticed Xixi and Lulu, who were behind Mag. Surprised, she said, “Sister Xixi, you’re here too!”
“Yes, I want to take a look at the child to see if I can do anything for him,” Xixi said with a nod.
Miya exclaimed, “That’s great! Sister Xixi’s magic is so powerful. I am sure little Kyle would be cured.”
“You’d better not tell them about this first. There are still many illnesses I cannot cure,” Xixi said with caution.
“Mm-hm. I understand.” Miya nodded.
The temperature in the ice cream shop was a little lower than outside, at almost 0°C.
Other than the full white decoration, there was also a pile of snow that was around 20 centimeters deep on the empty space on the floor and cabinets of the restaurant, looking as though the place was in an icy snow land.
Elizabeth, Firis, and the others were all there. Anna was sitting in the corner, making a small snowman. Blour, who was back in male clothing, was sitting at the side, watching quietly.
When she heard them, Anna turned around and beckoned Amy over. “Amy, come over here quickly. Let’s build little snowmen. Big Sister Elizabeth made us a lot of snow just now.”
“Okay, okay!” Amy replied merrily. She put Ugly Duckling on the floor and ran towards Anna.
“Meow~” After leaving the warm embrace, Ugly Duckling shuddered, but quickly ran over with Amy happily. However, it did not manage to stop in time, and ended up crashing into a thick pile of snow in the corner, leaving only two hind legs and a tail dangling outside as it failed to struggle free.
“Look, I told you you’re fat, and you didn’t believe me. You can even get stuck in snow.” Amy grabbed Ugly Duckling’s legs with some disdain and pulled it out from the snow, making a soft “pop” and leaving a cat hole in the snow.
“Meow~” Ugly Duckling shook its head to shake off the snow on its head and looked innocently at Amy.
Amy ignored it and squatted beside Anna, watching her make little snow animals like rabbits and sheep. She could not help but praise, “Little Sister Anna, that’s impressive. The little snowmen you make look so pretty.”
“Amy can do it too. It’s super simple,” Anna said with a smile.
“I can do it too? Then let me make an Ugly Duckling first.” Amy nodded and picked up a lump of snow. She rolled it into a round snowball and poked three holes in it, and then put it beside Ugly Duckling. She nodded with satisfaction. “Mm-hm, it’s exactly the same.”
