Meg and Eddie chatted casually about the changes in Chaos City, life on the grassland, and how vast the outside world was.
Talking to the elderly would always give Meg some insights that had been accumulated over the years. Even though he was just a herdsman who had gone on a long journey when he was young, he still benefited a lot from the conversation.
Alphonso listened quietly at the side, and added charcoal to the grill from time to time. His eyes were staring at Meg most of the time, and there seemed to be light shining in them.
According to this distinguished guest, the outside world was even more vast and exciting than what his grandfather had described. There were giant dragons flying in the sky, tree people as tall as hills, dwarves who were good at construction and forging … and huge cities built on flat land.
"It has been a few decades, and the outside world has changed drastically. The herdsmen on the grassland are still grazing slowly, and nothing has changed. It's a pity that the young people in the tribe don't have any other skills apart from grazing. They can't even leave the grassland," Eddie lamented.
"The people outside are envious of your carefree life, but you are also envious of the colorful world outside. It's hard to say what the world is like." Meg's gaze went over the bonfire, and looked at the young people who were wrestling not far away. Such a simple smile and such a simple life were not easy to find in the outside world.
Eddie looked at Meg in shock. After pondering for a while, he nodded shamefully, and said, "I was greedy."
Meg smiled, and didn't continue Eddie's words. His gaze landed on Alphonso at the side. He had felt Eddie's gaze just now, so he asked with a smile, "Do you want to see the outside world?"
Alphonso was stunned. He stood up hurriedly, and nodded at Meg. Then, he replied in the common language that wasn't very standard, "Yes."
Mag smiled as he looked at Alfonso's helpless hands. He took out a money pouch, and took out 10 dragon coins and 10 gold coins from it. Then, he wrote an address on a piece of paper with a pen that he always carried with him, and handed it to Alfonso. "When you can communicate with your grandfather fluently in the common language, if you still want to see the outside world, you can find me at this address."
Alphonso's expression gradually became emotional. His hand that was holding the dragon coin was trembling. He bowed deeply to Meg and said gratefully, "Thank … Thank you."
"You can't do that, customer. Alphonso can't afford to take so much money." Eddie hurriedly stood up and wanted to return the money to Meg.
"It's normal for young people to want to see the outside world, just like how you walked out of the grassland back then." Meg pressed down on Eddie's hand gently. He smiled at Alphonso, and said, "Besides, if young people from the grassland want to live well in the outside world, they don't have to be good at fighting and killing. Times have changed. As long as he can learn how to roast mutton, I will make arrangements for him in Chaos City."
Eddie's heart softened when he saw Alphonso's expectant gaze. How could he not know what his grandson was thinking? Alphonso had tried to run away from home many times since he was young. This was exactly the same as him back then.
"Then, I'll have to trouble you when the time comes." Eddie bowed deeply to Meg.
"You're welcome. Take it as my reward for this whole roast mutton." Meg smiled as he looked at the whole roast mutton that had turned golden brown on the grill. Compared to the previous roast mutton skewers, the aroma of this whole roast mutton was more unrestrained. It was different from the aroma of the blue sheep. The aroma of this roast mutton was more layered, and lingered for a long time.
Eddie flipped the roast mutton, and looked up at Meg as he said, "Sir, this mutton is almost done. Do you want to eat it now?"
"Of course, it's best to eat it now." Meg nodded with a smile. He got up and called everyone back to eat the whole roast mutton.
"This sheep is so lazy. It's just like an ugly duckling. It can't catch up with Big Sister Anna and the others no matter how hard it tries." Amy sat on the sheep's back and pouted in disdain.
"Meh ~"
"Meow ~"
That sheep and Ugly Duckling meowed innocently.
Meg looked at that fat sheep that was tamed, and was a little surprised at how Amy managed to convince it.
"Riding horses is so fun." Anna was carried off the horse by Shirley with an excited smile on her little face.
Mia and the rest walked back, chatting and laughing. Angela and Jane were obviously much closer to everyone. They also had smiles on their faces, and looked very harmonious.
"It smells so good." Amy jumped down from the sheep's back, and looked at the whole roast mutton that was glistening with golden oil on the grill. She swallowed her saliva and said, "Roasting a lazy sheep like this is so gluttonous … It's so cruel. But I like it so much."
"Wash your hands first, and then we can start eating." Meg took a wooden basin filled with warm water from a herdsman at the side, and called Amy over to wash her hands.
After everyone had washed their hands, Eddie gave everyone a short knife. When they ate roasted lamb on the grassland, they would use a knife directly. However, it was a little inconvenient for the two children and the girls to use a hot roasted lamb that had just been roasted.
Meg brought his own knife. He unsheathed Fat Head Fish and cut a plate of mutton for everyone. The meat was connected to the bone, and it was much easier to eat.
"Father, can I have a leg of mutton?" Amy asked as she stared at a leg of mutton.
"Of course." Meg raised his knife and cut off a leg of mutton for Amy, and handed it to Amy. The little girl was still growing, and her appetite was comparable to two or three normal adults.
"Thank you." Amy took the leg of mutton and happily gnawed on it.
Only then did Mag cut a kilogram of mutton for himself and put it on his plate. He had already paid for the whole roast mutton earlier. It was 11,000 copper coins for a whole roast mutton, so he had no qualms about dealing with this roast mutton.
Eddie looked at this scene with some surprise. This was a little different from how they ate whole roast mutton, but he was very tactful and did not ask too much. Perhaps this was a habit of the distinguished guests.
Of course, what surprised him even more was Mag's knife skills. Mag's hands didn't look like they were used for manual labor, but he was able to wield such a wide and thick square knife. As someone who had dealt with sheep his entire life, he was stunned.
Meg picked up a piece of mutton with skin, meat, and bones in his hand. The mouth-watering aroma accompanied by the heat hit his nostrils. The golden skin of the mutton was glistening with oil, and the mutton had also turned brown. The fragrance of baka wood leaves was mixed in.
Without any hesitation, Meg took a bite of the mutton.
"Crunch."
The charred skin made a crisp sound as he chewed. The charred aroma immediately filled his mouth. The heat was just right, giving it the most charming texture and taste. It was not inferior to the duck skin of Peking Duck.
Under the charred skin, the mutton was extraordinarily fresh and tender. The rich oil under the skin gave the mutton good protection, so it did not lose its soul under the high temperature roasting. Instead, it was sublimated.
The freshness and sweetness of the mutton was even better than the previous mutton skewers. In addition to the fragrance of the baka wood leaves, the meat also had a faint fragrance. The more he chewed, the more fragrant it became. His taste buds had already surrendered. The wonderful taste made him immerse himself in it.
