"Boss, is that crayfish really 100 copper coins per crayfish?" Jane asked in disbelief as she followed behind Meg with a condiment box in her hands. She had just eaten a crayfish that cost 100 copper coins.
"You also think it's too cheap, right?" Meg turned around to look at Jane and pondered seriously. If the regular customers of Mamy's knew about this price, they would probably be moved to tears.
The cost of a crayfish was 50 copper coins, and the cost of the ingredients was 10 copper coins. This was not including the cooking fee for a chef at the God of Cookery level like him. He only earned 40 copper coins per crayfish.
Compared to the price he used to charge four to five times the price of the ingredients, this price couldn't be more reasonable.
Could it be that he had found his conscience?
No, he just wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible.
The crayfish that was priced at 500 copper coins would win based on taste, and Meg wouldn't worry about starving to death.
However, this kind of crayfish was destined to be a delicacy for a minority of people, and most of the customers would be rejected.
Mamy's was positioned as a high-class restaurant, and its high price meant that its customers were destined to be a minority. It wasn't discrimination, but this was the price of food with top-notch ingredients and top-notch culinary skills. Moreover, it was discounted.
However, Meg planned to make Ayi Crayfish Restaurant into a cheap food stall. 100 copper coins wasn't cheap for most of the demons on Carapace Island, but it was one kilogram in size. Ordinary demons could also eat one if they clenched their teeth. Therefore, it would have a large base of customers.
Meg didn't come to Carapace Island to earn money. The most important thing was to complete the system's mission of capturing 300,000 crayfish.
And his plan was to … eat them.
With Carapace Island as the center, he would radiate to the entire Demon Islands and use the delicious crayfish to cultivate a group of crayfish-loving diners.
As long as this hobby was cultivated, these demons would become the number one natural enemy of the crayfish.
Why is it that in my great China, as long as it's something edible, there's no way to cause a large-scale species invasion?
The answer was simple: they didn't have time to develop.
Crayfish was an example of an invasive species back then. It was eaten until it became a rare species in Greater China. If it were not for the development of various breeding methods, it would probably have gone extinct. This was a proven example of success.
Meg was not too confident about the completion of the mission of catching 100 breeding crayfish in the vast ocean. However, as long as he could solve the problem of species invasion and overflow, and create a batch of irresistible natural enemies for the crayfish, this mission would not be too different from completion.
The discount promotion was one of Meg's plans to popularize crayfish on a large scale. Only cheap and good crayfish could quickly become the leader of Carapace Island's supper scene.
"Is it … cheap …" Jane was a little speechless. To her, 100 copper coins was a lot of money. She usually picked up shells at the seaside for a whole day, and could only sell them for 10 copper coins. This prawn cost her the money of picking up shells at the seaside for 10 days. It was too expensive.
However, this crayfish was really delicious. Now that he thought about it, it still felt like a dream. Perhaps it was because it was delicious that it was so expensive.
"If it was somewhere else, they would go crazy." Meg nodded emotionally. He pushed open the door and walked out. After putting down the wooden rack, he arranged all the spices and condiments on the wooden rack one by one. He put on an apron and buttoned up his sleeves. Meg's gaze became cold and sharp.
Jane stood at the side and looked at Meg, who was standing in front of the pot, in surprise. She felt that he seemed to have changed into a different person at this moment.
He lit the fire, held a towel with one hand, and grabbed the two-meter-wide iron pot to rotate on the stove to heat up the bottom of the pot evenly.
He poured the oil into the pot and heated it until it was 70% hot. Then, he poured in the ginger and garlic that he had prepared earlier and stir-fried them. He sprinkled in a bunch of dried chili, pepper, and other spices.
The fragrance of the spices wafted out immediately. The family of three rock trolls and Jane couldn't help but stretch their heads out to look curiously.
"Why do you have to be so exaggerated when you're making a dish? Why do you need such a big pot for three crayfish? What are those weird things? Although this smell is fragrant, it's also spicy. " Gemina frowned. She couldn't recognize any of them anyway. However, the fragrance after stir-frying the spices made her even more curious.
After stir-frying the spices, Meg picked up the crayfish that he had prepared earlier, and poured the whole pot into the iron pot. He turned on the fire, held the big spatula in one hand, and grabbed the handle of the pot with the other, stir-frying the crayfish.
The blackish-green crayfish gradually turned red, and the fragrance of the crayfish started to ferment together with the fragrance of the spices. Then, it spread in all directions.
"It smells so good." Justin swallowed his saliva as he looked at the bright red crayfish in the pot. He couldn't wait to have one.
"This fragrance … is completely different from the grilled crayfish yesterday, but why is it still so tempting? It's an irresistible smell." Gemina looked at the crayfish that were being stir-fried in the big pot that Meg was playing with. Although she didn't want to admit it, this spicy fragrance was indeed very tempting.
"Ah, I'm dead …"
Ivan rested his head on the table, and stared at the crayfish in the pot with his eyes wide open. He only ate one pincer yesterday. No matter what, he had to eat a whole crayfish today.
The fragrance of the stir-fried spicy crayfish rose from the courtyard, and then gradually drifted out of the courtyard to the road.
"It smells so good!"
"What's this smell?"
"It seems to be coming from there."
In just a short while, there were already over a dozen demons standing outside the courtyard. They all stared curiously at Meg, who was stir-frying the crayfish in the pot. The source of the fragrance was them, and they unknowingly swallowed their saliva.
"This looks like a restaurant?" A minotaur demon looked up at the signboard. This was the first time he had heard of a crayfish restaurant, but this fragrance was really too tempting.
"I didn't see it when I passed by last time. Seems like it's newly opened. It's a pity that there's a protective amulet hanging there." A demon with two leopard heads glanced coldly at the large protective amulet hanging at a conspicuous spot on the door.
"This cooking method is so special. It's the first time I've seen it. It smells good, but I don't know how it tastes." A succubus with an enchanting figure looked at Meg with a smile. "Moreover, this chef looks quite delicate."
"Is that so? But he doesn't live as well as Big Brother." A tall demon stuck close to her from behind, and a pair of big hands already reached out to her waist mischievously.
"Is that so?" That succubus turned around and smiled seductively at him. A glimmer of light flashed in her green and blue eyes.
That demon was obviously stunned for a moment, and the movements of his hands also stopped.
At this moment, that succubus suddenly lifted her leg and kicked his crotch.
Accompanied by the sound of eggs breaking, that tall demon flew backward and crashed onto the street more than ten meters away. He covered his crotch and cried out in pain.
"You didn't pay, and you want to touch me? You're courting death." That succubus retracted her leg and glanced at the demons standing beside her.
The male demons subconsciously retracted their legs, and the demons who originally wanted to take advantage of her all took a few steps to the side. This was a ruthless character.
