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

Chapter 1855: Perhaps It’s Coming Soon

Mag tossed the batter casually, and the batter splashed onto the grilling pan. Miraculously, the batter filled up each hole equally. Not a single drop was splashed out of the grilling pan.

“Err…”

The crowd descended into silence. The audience began to look at him differently.

It was still that ladle. It was still a ladle of cabbage, a ladle of red pepper, a ladle of corn, a ladle of octopus tentacle…

The audience’s eyes began to widen gradually as they watched the ingredients scattered over the batter evenly.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

All of them could only see a faint shadow when the bamboo stick swiped across the grilling pan, and the octopus balls were already flipped to the other side. It seemed like the octopus balls had grown on the grilling pan in the blink of an eye.

The bamboo stick shook gently. The octopus balls flew across the air in a line, and landed gently in the little wooden box. Mag sprinkled the seaweed powder, and squeezed the ketchup and mayonnaise over them before adding the shredded seaweed and bonito flakes.

He only took less than half of the time used in the first round to complete three grilling pans of octopus balls from the very start to plating them.

“Isn’t this very simple?” Mag smiled.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

After a moment of silence, a round of enthusiastic applause broke out.

“It’s really a skill. He should be rewarded!”

“This… I can’t even follow with my brain.”

“Are those flakes he scattered on the very top alive? Why are they moving?”

“This boss is so suave! He has completely turned around the image of a greasy chef in my heart.”

Everyone was looking at Mag with a different gaze. Little stars of adoration began to appear in many ladies’ eyes.

Meanwhile, those customers who were initially watching for fun began to join the lines. They wanted to try the skills of this boss who cooked so entertainingly.

Mag successfully attracted a lot of attention with his superb culinary skills and live broadcast on the giant screen.

“Oh! This octopus ball is so delicious.”

“Yes. It’s crispy on the outside while tender on the inside. It’s fresh and aromatic. It’s simply amazing!”

“Whoo… whoo… It’s a little hot. Gotta eat it slowly… Whoo…”

The customers who received the octopus balls in the first round already started eating. Their reviews were smashing.

As the aroma of the octopus balls slowly spread out, the customers who were looking over began to gulp.

“I am done explaining the octopus balls. However, although the octopus balls are delicious, it’s a slightly more professional dish to make as it needs special custom-made grilling pans. It’s more suitable to be a snack that is sold on the streets. Both children and adults will love it,” Mag explained with a smile as he pointed out a clear path for those people who were looking to start a street food project.

This dish was never a home-cooked dish. Its preparation was complex, and it needed many ingredients. Besides, most people wouldn’t eat it as a meal. It wasn’t sufficient to eat a big helping after being busy for a day. It was more of a fun thing to do at home when one was free.

However, as a street food, it would crush that sweet pancake countless times.

He hoped that the octopus ball could find its existence in the streets of Chaos City as a street food.

“Now, let’s continue to learn the next dish, stir-fried octopus tentacles. This dish is more homely, and it’s quick and simple. After learning it, you will have one more main dish on your dining table at home, and it will definitely outshine your friends.” Mag took a bunch of small-sized octopus tentacles from the side, and began to explain and demonstrate from how to process the octopus tentacles to the amount of ingredients and the techniques of matching and processing them, to stir-frying them and adding condiments, etc. Every single step was explained precisely in detail.

Silence fell again. However, the aroma of the stir-fried octopus tentacles was even more direct and aggressive compared to the subtle octopus balls.

The octopus’s aroma began to spread after it was stir-fried. Under the enhancement of the spiciness, it became very aggressive.

“Gulp.”

“This aroma is simply too enticing?!”

“I didn’t feel much for the octopus balls, but this… I think I can eat two bowls of rice with it.”

The enticing aroma caused a small commotion among the customers. The lines in front of the booth suddenly grew longer, and there were still customers going to the back to join the lines.

Meanwhile, those housewives began to stare at Mag’s actions intensely like a hawk as they tried to remember every move and sentence in their hearts. Some even took out a photostone to make records.

With the enticing aroma, neat lines and attention-attracting gigantic screen, Mamy Restaurant became the most popular booth during the Delicacy Extravaganza’s opening.

“This is a helping of stir-fried octopus tentacles. Isn’t it very simple?” Mag plated the octopus tentacles on three plates, and smiled at everyone. “I suggest that all of you buy some octopus tentacles at the seafood shop’s booth next door to try it out at home. I believe you all can make a scrumptious dish that will surprise even yourself. Remember, when buying octopus tentacles, your first choice is definitely ‘Little Sys Seafood Shop’.”

Rodu today was as lively as usual.

The Magic Caster Tournament, which happened once every three years, had already produced the top 32 yesterday. The finals to decide the rankings of these 32 contestants and select the champion would be held today.

This qualifying competition was naturally the most exciting.

Almost all of Rodu’s aristocrats came. The front-row seats were the most expensive, and yet they were still very hard to get.

Almost the entire city was discussing the Magic Caster Tournament.

The most talked about was naturally Krassu’s four-year-old disciple, who challenged the Magus Tower’s advanced magic casters, and won eight competition rounds in a row—little magic caster Amy.

Master Krassu was the Roth Empire’s most famous magic caster. Under his limelight, his disciple was still so formidable that it was unbelievable.

This was one of the important reasons that the Magic Caster Tournament’s scalped ticket’s price suddenly increased yesterday. Many people wanted to see this little magic caster showing off her skills at the Magic Caster Tournament with their own eyes. Perhaps they could witness history in the making, and gain another right to boast in the future.

Apart from Amy, who was shining in the magic caster category, there was also another contestant who was also being noticed in the youth category.

Due to his mature looks, Kassadin was labeled as a children’s bully. Everyone began to research him, trying to find evidence to prove that he didn’t belong to the youth category, and then pin him onto the wall of shame.

He was really in a pathetic state.

“Master, do you have requests for me in today’s competition?” Amy asked Krassu while munching on a piece of bread.

“I don’t have anything to ask of Little Amy. Just go and have fun. You can fight with whatever style you like. Do your best. You don’t have to worry about your opponents, since there’s a judge to watch over them.” Krassu chuckled. He didn’t restrict Amy from using ice magic.

“Alright.” Amy nodded. “In this case, then I’m really just going to have fun.”

Krassu looked at Amy, and asked, “Oh yes. Amy, do you feel like you are going to advance soon?”

“Advance? What advance?” Amy didn’t quite understand.

“Becoming an advanced magic caster.”

Amy tilted her head, and thought before she shook her head, and said, “I’m not very sure. I feel that I am going to advance at any time, but something’s still missing. Perhaps it’s coming soon.”
