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

Chapter 1697: I Think… We Are About To Have A Baby

Mag had tried many whole roasted goats. He had been to the Mongolian grassland, and had also gone to the Yu Li County at Gobi Desert, but none of the roasted goats he had could be compared to this roasted black goat grilled by Eddie.

No one said anything, but actions spoke louder than words. In a flash, the plates filled with a substantial amount of chevon were cleared. That was the greatest form of respect for the roast goat.

Eddie smiled proudly. Even the distinguished guests from afar would fall in love with his whole roasted goat.

“Remember to master your grandfather’s skills before coming over. When you arrive at Chaos City, I’ll arrange work for you,” Mag told Alfonso seriously after finishing a few kilograms of chevon once he put his plate down.

It was apparent that the praise could no longer trigger a whole roasted goat recipe reward from the system. It would be such a pity if this delicacy remained only in the Blue Grassland. Therefore, Mag made plans to recruit Alfonso.

“Mm-hm, mm-hm.” Alfonso nodded seriously.

The delicious whole roasted goat was an added bonus to Mag and the rest’s trip to the grassland. Mag expressed his gratitude to Eddie and the other shepherds once again. He left two bags of salt, something that was hard to come by in the grassland, and departed with the others.

“I’m so full. Would the last goat leg still taste good when we get back?” Amy asked Mag worriedly as she lazed comfortably in his embrace.

“Mm-hm, we can just roast it for a while again when we get back. There shouldn’t be too much of a difference.” Mag shook his head with a smile. The little fellow was so fond of the whole roasted goat that she insisted on bringing the remaining goat leg back. Its taste after re-roasting would definitely not be as good as when it was freshly roasted, but the difference would not be too big.

“That’s great!” Amy smiled broadly. She turned to look out, and asked, “Where are we going now? Are we going back already? Aren’t we skiing?”

“Yes. We are going skiing right now, and while we’re at it, we’ll catch a black goat to take home so I can make some chevon soup for everyone.” Mag nodded with a smile, and glanced at the blue sheep tied to the back of the eagle. Those were forcefully given them by Eddie, and it would also not be a bad idea to use those for roast mutton.

“Are we skiing down from that tall snowy mountain?” Anna said in a slightly frightened tone as she pointed to the snowy mountain that was approaching in their eyes.

“Not this one. Let’s catch the goat first, and take a look behind this snowy mountain. There might be places that are more suitable.” Mag shook his head. The face of the mountain turned toward the grassland was very steep, and half of the snow on the mountain had already melted to reveal the black granite underneath that formed an almost 90-degree drop.

Before they left, Mag asked Eddie where the latter caught the black goat, and found out that it was at this cliff where the herdsmen caught it in a trap. Black goats were very alert, and they could only catch around one to two a year. Therefore, Mag was very lucky to have coincidentally come on the day they caught the black goat.

Mag steered the eagle close to the cliff. Its huge wings dispersed the surrounding clouds to reveal the black granite rocks in front of everyone.

“Look, there really is a goat flying at the cliff!” Miya suddenly exclaimed as she pointed diagonally upwards.

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a black goat jumping as it climbed up the steep cliff. It propelled itself up by pushing against the cracks and small protruding rocks on the cliff, making it look like it was flying up the cliff.

“That’s it!” Mag’s eyes lit up. He steered the eagle upwards while saying to Babla, “Babla, use your spatial magic to trap it and bring it to the eagle’s back.

“Alright.” Babla raised her hand, and the black goat, which was jumping up the cliff, suddenly froze in mid-air. It kicked its limbs helplessly in the air before it fell right onto the eagle’s back.

“Beautiful.” Mag glanced at the black goat, which was tied together with the two blue sheep, and smiled.

“Ding! Congratulations for completing the mission of capturing the black goat. You have received the right to use the black goat as an ingredient!”

The system’s voice sounded.

“Let’s go skiing.” Mag steered the eagle to stop at the peak of the snowy mountain. On the other side of the mountain, there was a winding snowy slope, and in the distance, there were more snowy mountains.

“I’ll take you all there.” Elizabeth waved her hand, and a giant ice sledge appeared on the ground.This chapter is updated by N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

“Wow, this snow sledge looks awesome. It looks just like a crystal.” Amy was the first to jump down.

Ugly Duckling followed suit. However, because the surface was too slippery, it face-planted and slid all the way to Amy’s feet.

Everyone boarded the snow sledge subsequently. Mag got the eagle to follow behind before he jumped in as well.

“Hold on tight,” Elizabeth reminded them. She leaned forward, and the stationary sledge glided down immediately at an increasing speed.

“Aaah…”

Screams echoed throughout the mountain range.

“Lulu, why are you back so early today?” Xixi asked Lulu, who just returned to the magic potion shop, as she passed him a warm towel.

Lulu wiped his coal-covered face with the warm towel, and then wiped his hands. He looked at Xixi, and replied, “I finished my work early today, so I’m back early.”

“Give me a moment. I’ll make you some food.” Xixi took the towel from Lulu, and turned to walk into the kitchen.

“Hang on, Xixi, actually, I…” Lulu called out to Xixi as he rummaged through his breast pocket.

“Hm?” Xixi turned around to look at him in bewilderment.

“Found it.” Lulu pulled his hand out in a fist, and put it in front of Xixi before opening his hand.

There was an exquisite silver ring in the middle of his palm. It was a very thin ring with an amber gemstone. In the amber, there was a very small branch which looked just like a miniature tree.

“This is?!” Xixi’s eyes lit up. She looked at the ring as she exclaimed in surprise, “For me?”

“Today is your birthday. This time, I can finally spend it properly with you.” Lulu looked at her with a gentle gaze. He carefully held her hand, and put the ring on her finger.

It fitted perfectly. The ring looked very exquisite and cute on Xixi’s long, slender finger.

Xixi looked at the ring on her finger. Even the edges were buffed until they shone. His hands were so large and rough; it had to have been very difficult to make such an exquisite ring. On top of that, how much time had he spent off his busy working hours to make it?

Thinking of all those made Xixi feel a tinge of sourness in her nose. Her eyes reddened gradually as she looked up to meet Lulu’s gentle gaze. She could not help but smile, and pounded lightly on his chest as she complained, “Stupid. I’ll be happy as long as you’re with me.”

Lulu scratched his head with a foolish smile. His wife looked so beautiful even when she was angry.

“Actually, I have something to tell you as well.” Xixi took a step closer, and put her hand on her stomach. She looked down with a blush as she said, “I think… we are about to have a baby.”
