Chapter 1814: ???
Mag used a tray to carry eight sets of octopus balls out of the kitchen. After that, he placed them in front of the person who ordered them.
The round and golden octopus balls were served on a square black plate. It was covered with bonito flakes and shredded seaweed, making it look cute and exquisite.
“Look, this octopus ball can move!!!”
Amy inched closer to the octopus ball in front of her as she watched it with her azure blue eyes in shock.
The bonito flakes on the octopus ball were really moving slowly like a blooming flower.
“Is this a kind of insect?” Anna moved backward a little out of fear.
“Don’t be afraid. This is not an insect.” Mag looked at the shocked faces with a smile. “This thing that is moving is called bonito flakes. It was cut into slices as thin as paper, and because the freshly cooked octopus balls are very hot, the bonito flakes start to change shape the moment they heat up. Therefore, they appear to be moving.”
Amy reached out to pick one piece of the bonito flake. The flake, which was thinner than paper, was slightly translucent, and even one’s breath could make it move.
“Um.” Amy put that piece of bonito flake into her mouth, and smacked her lips together. “This bonito flake disappeared the moment it went into my mouth.”
Everyone laughed.
“The freshly made octopus balls are a little hot. Be careful when you eat them,” Mag reminded everyone. “Of course, the right way to enjoy this dish is to eat the octopus ball together with the bonito flakes and shredded seaweed all in one mouth—”
“Mm… mm… It’s so hot…” Before Mag could finish his words, Angela already had her mouth wide open as she blew out hot air. Her tongue was scalded by an octopus ball, making her roll her eyes. She wanted to spit it out, but could not bear to do so.
Everyone who was about to dig in quickly stopped, and watched Angela worriedly.
Angela was at an awkward stage. She never knew that such a harmless and even cute-looking little golden ball could actually be so… ferocious!
The crispy outer layer had boiling magma wrapped up inside.
Hot!
That bite released the signal of danger.
However, before she could turn around to spit it out, the hidden goodness surged out.
The sweet corn and a hint of spiciness, together with the chewy octopus tentacle, exploded in her mouth without warning.
The sweet and sour ketchup and sweet mayonnaise on the outside, as well as the fresh bonito flakes and shredded seaweed.
In the midst of her suffering, the goodness of the octopus ball started to take the upper hand.
The freshness of the octopus stood out among the seasonings and other ingredients, bringing about an irresistible taste.
Amidst the burning heat and deliciousness, Angela seemed to have seen a miraculous scene. It was as though a wonderful spell had flashed past her eyes, and she was just not yet at the required level to see it clearly and understand it.
After a while, the temperature in her open mouth decreased, and she could finally chew properly. After that, she swallowed the octopus ball.
“Is it good? Big Sister Angela?” Amy asked curiously. Angela’s expression scared her just now.
Everyone also looked at her curiously. Her expression before was so complicated that everyone could not tell if it meant that the food was good or bad.
“If you could wait a bit while eating it, I reckon this is something no one could resist,” Angela said seriously. After that, she picked up the second octopus ball, and put it into her mouth.
“Hu… Ah… Hu…” She seemed to have immersed herself in another realm of pain and enjoyment. She seemed to have started enjoying the trance-like feeling that it brought to her, as though she would be able to break the secret to the succubus’s curse once again if she caught hold of anything.
Everyone hesitated for a while after they watched Angela, who had already ignored them, and all tried the golden little balls to find out what kind of charm they had.
With Angela’s experience, everyone was ready for the heat. They blew on it carefully before putting it into their mouth. When they bit into it, they were also very careful. The moment they felt the heat, they would quickly pause, and open their mouths a little for the heat to disperse before continuing.
“It’s delicious! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside!”
“Although the taste is blander compared to stir-fried octopus tentacles, this actually retains the freshness of the octopus better. It’s another kind of deliciousness!”
All of a sudden, there were endless praises, and the ladies were all immersed in the goodness of the octopus ball.
Mag smiled. It seemed like the octopus ball suited everyone’s tastes.
Camilla sat at the side, and swallowed her saliva. She still had no expression on her face, but she was suddenly regretting her decision not to order the octopus balls as well.
Annie, who had one octopus ball, glanced at Camilla. She put her chopsticks down, and pushed her plate to Camilla gently. She used her hands to sign the action of eating, and then smiled obediently.
“You’re telling me to eat it?” Camilla looked at Annie in shock.
Annie nodded, seeming to have understood Camilla.
“I’m full…” Camilla pushed the plate back.
Annie shook her head, pointed to the octopus ball, and then stuck out her middle finger.
“Try one?”
Annie nodded.
Camilla smiled. She suddenly felt very touched. She hesitated for a while before picking the octopus ball with her chopsticks, and putting it into her mouth.
The exploding goodness made her lonely tongue go crazy as though a drama was playing. Her face blushed, and it felt as though there really was a pair of hands caressing her gently.
“Thank you, Annie.” Camilla opened her eyes. She pushed the plate back to Annie with a slight pant, and then glared at Mag.
??? Mag.
He did not force her to eat it. Why did she give him the look that she had been taken advantage of?
At this moment, he was filled with questions.
The octopus balls were quickly finished, and the delicious snack completed the employees’ meal.
“Alright. Let’s begin operation.” Mag glanced at the clock on the wall, tidied himself up, and walked towards the restaurant door.
Everyone cleaned up quickly, and changed to work mode within a second.
Gina was not around in the afternoon, and Babla had returned to the moon. Therefore, they were a little shorthanded, and everyone had to be alert.
Mag looked at his watch. The second hand pointed to 12, and he opened the restaurant door.
“Welcome to Mamy Restaurant,” Mag said with a smile. He looked past the 10th-tier powerhouses in front of the door, and saw Gloria and a golden-haired young lady with her. He was stunned.
