A bowl of steaming hot mutton soup on a cold winter day was naturally the most wonderful thing.
And for the people who had just eaten the savory and spicy barbecue and drank some cold beer, a bowl of fragrant mutton soup was also extremely tempting.
"Father, are the seasonings in this small dish to be poured into the soup?" Amy asked as she pointed at the dry dish in front of her.
"No, this is for dipping the mutton alone." Meg sat down, picked up a thin piece of mutton with his chopsticks, and dipped it in the dry dish. The mutton was immediately covered with sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, and chili powder. The originally ordinary looking mutton was instantly infused with soul.
Meg put the mutton into his mouth, and the fragrance of the dipping sauce was the first to erupt, teasing his taste buds. The crispness of the peanuts and soybeans, the spiciness of the dried chili, and the aroma of various spices filled his mouth before he could chew.
The mutton was thin, soft, and not mushy. After chewing carefully, the fresh and sweet gravy overflowed, and the mutton collided with the dipping sauce.
Like a comet hitting Earth, the originally sweet and fresh mutton was given a richer taste by the dipping sauce.
Unlike the mellowness of the braised meat that was slowly soaked, this taste was more intense. The crispness of the crushed peanuts and the softness of the mutton didn't seem to match at first glance, but after entering his mouth, he realized what a match made in heaven.
Even Meg, who had always been more particular about eating etiquette, couldn't help but let out a chewing sound.
"This mutton is wonderful!" Meg's eyebrows unconsciously raised. The mutton in the mutton soup really had to be paired with the dry dish. Of course, this dry dish was also indescribably wonderful.
A mouthful of mutton went down his stomach, and the taste was slightly spicy. At this time, he scooped up a spoonful of milky white mutton soup and put it into his mouth, and his life seemed to have been sublimated.
The mutton soup was made with mutton bones, and the bone marrow and collagen in the bones were all in the soup. The texture was warm, the taste was fresh and sweet, fragrant but not greasy, thick but not sticky. After circulating in the mouth, it immediately calmed the taste buds. After swallowing, he only felt a warmth rise from his stomach and then spread throughout his body.
"Comfortable —"
Meg's lips curled up into a smile. This mutton soup was worth all his hard work.
"This soup is so delicious." Ai Mi had already picked up the bowl and started drinking, making 'gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp' sounds.
"If you eat the mutton alone, it feels a little ordinary. But after dipping it in the dipping sauce, it's a completely different feeling. It's so wonderful that I almost want to chew my own tongue. How magical!" Camilla said in surprise.
"Yeah, this dipping sauce is delicious. Although it's a little spicy, it's so fragrant." Mia nodded in agreement.
After finishing the barbecue, a bowl of mutton soup was served. The barbecue banquet was considered to be over.
"Barbara, wait a minute. I have something to ask you." Irina stopped Barbara.
"Hmm?" Barbara looked at Irina in confusion, but she still stood there obediently.
In the past, there had never been an idol in her world. But after meeting Irina, she had one.
Those legendary stories made her deeply impressed, and she was willing to become a little fangirl.
Irina brought Barbara to a corner, and lowered her voice as she said, "I heard that you once repaired an ancient spell formation, and then teleported yourself to this world."
"Yes … That's right." Barbara nodded dejectedly. They could still be friends if she didn't mention that damned teleportation spell formation.
If it wasn't for that lousy spell formation, she would still be the high and mighty princess of the Moon Nation.
However, if it wasn't for that lousy spell formation, she wouldn't have been able to come to this world, eat so much delicious food, and make so many good friends.
Compared to the Moon Nation, the Norland Continent was really a huge continent. It was a pity that she didn't have time to travel further.
"Then, can you understand this spell formation?" A photostone appeared in Irina's hand, and played a corner of that sealing spell formation.
Barbara went forward to take a closer look. She nodded, and said, "This spell formation looks very ancient, but it seems to be from the same era as the one I repaired previously. That's because there are many runes on it. That spell formation also has them, so I can understand some of them."
"You can really understand it?" Irina looked at Barbara with surprise. The best spell formation masters in Chaos City had seen this photostone today, but Barbara was the first one to say that she could understand this spell formation.
"Yes. I did a lot of research in order to repair that teleportation spell formation. There are many ancient books in the Moon Nation's palace, and some of them talk about ancient spell formations. However, this spell formation looks rather complicated, so I'm not sure if I can understand it completely." Barbara nodded. She was a little happy to be able to show off her ability in front of her idol.
"Alright. You don't have to go to work tomorrow. Follow me somewhere," Irina said to Barbara with satisfaction as she kept the photostone.
"Huh?" Barbara was stunned. She subconsciously looked in Meg's direction. "But …"
"It's alright. I have the final say," Irina said nonchalantly after seeing Barbara's worry.
"Alright." A smile appeared on Barbara's face immediately. That's right. Irina is a super powerful 10th-tier powerhouse and the elven princess. If she wants to take me away, Boss wouldn't dare to stop her.
"Go ahead. Angela can officially start work tomorrow. Shirley is also back. There's no problem." As expected, after Meg heard the news, he only looked at her with a deep gaze before nodding in agreement.
"I … didn't get fired, did I?" Barbara asked with a frown. Judging from Meg's words, she seemed to be a tool that could be replaced at any time. This made her, who had always seen herself as the pillar of the restaurant, feel a little threatened.
"Of course not. You're a very important employee of the restaurant." Meg smiled. He didn't know where this girl's sense of danger came from. She was a very important tool, and one of her was worth 10 others.
"That's good." A smile appeared on Barbara's lips again. As expected, the restaurant couldn't do without her.
Everyone said their goodbyes and left. After playing for a day and eating so much delicious food, everyone was a little tired. Going back to wash up and sleep was naturally the most comfortable arrangement.
Gina said goodnight to Meg and the rest, and went upstairs to rest.
Meanwhile, Amy had already fallen asleep on the table with Ugly Duckling in her arms.
"Little fellow." Meg smiled as he hugged Amy with one hand and picked up Ugly Duckling with the other. As he walked upstairs, he whispered, "How's the situation over there?"
"No one can undo the ancient spell formation. There's no progress in the restoration work." Irina shook her head.
"I didn't expect that in the end, I still have to rely on an employee of my restaurant to solve it. Mamy's is indeed a place with many hidden talents," Meg lamented.
