Irina went shopping with the two children, while Meg went to a few places with the excuse of selling food for them.
Rodu wasn't an unfamiliar city in Alex's memory.
"Andre is quite concerned about his subordinates." Meg was holding a bag of mung bean pastries as he looked at the general's residence not far away.
General Bloom was the general whose status in the military was second only to Grand Marshal Dominic. Although he was only at the 7th-tier, he was a wise and resourceful general.
On the battlefield, the role of a general wasn't to charge into the enemy lines. Bloom was able to rise to the position of general, and become an existence second only to Dominic in the military. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was as wise as a demon.
The general's residence was already surrounded by guards every 10 steps. The mansions of the various officials in Rodu had become the focus of protection due to the massacres of the Ministry of War.
General Bloom had been going in and out of the palace frequently these days. Whether it was on the way to court or at home, there were 10th-tier powerhouses protecting him.
Meg was quite familiar with this Bloom. After all, when Alex was at the peak of his power, Bloom was only the third-in-command of the military.
During that rainy night, the few military powerhouses that Meg saw among the ambushers were all under this Bloom's command.
This was the man behind Sean, and also one of the important driving forces behind Alex back then.
Right at this moment, a horse-drawn carriage drove out of the gate. A corner of the curtain was lifted up, and a face with a goatee flashed past.
A dozen or so knights surrounded the horse-drawn carriage. There was a 10th-tier knight leading the way, and several 9th-tier and 8th-tier knights guarding the carriage.
Meg stuffed the remaining half of the mung bean pastry into his mouth, and walked around the general's residence unhurriedly with the bag. Then, he entered the food street again, and found Irina and the two children.
Meg passed the mung bean pastries to the two children, and said to Irina softly, "One 10th-tier, three 9th-tier. There are over 300 guards inside and outside the residence. There are no blind spots."
"Tonight?" Irina looked at Meg.
"Tonight." Meg nodded.
"Okay." Irina also took a piece of mung bean cake.
"This green bean … knocked my tooth." Amy spat out a whole mung bean and looked up at Meg with a troubled expression. "Father, aren't they all soft mung bean cakes?"
"Bah …" Irina also spat out half a mung bean. Looking at the remaining half of the mung bean cake in her hand, she threw it into the dustbin without hesitation.
Mag didn't know how the shop owner was able to keep the green beans in such a hard state in the green bean crispy pastry. It was indeed a terrible experience to be able to eat a hard green bean in such a soft dessert.
"Ding! Mission: Request from your daughter: Host, please improve the Mung Bean Crisp production process in this world and make a perfect Mung Bean Crisp! Mission Reward: Obtain the title of Junior Dessert Master! He also received a Mystery Gift Pack! Mission Punishment: Eat 50 kilograms of raw mung beans!
"You have received a basic recipe for Mung Bean Cakes. Host must explore and improve it on his own!"
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Meg's mind.
"Huh?" Meg raised his eyebrows as he looked at the plain text version of the recipe in his mind. This system mission … was a little unusual.
However, looking at Amy's expectant gaze, Meg thought for a moment and decided to accept this mission.
Of course, he definitely didn't compromise because of the penalty of eating 50 kilograms of raw mung beans.
"The ones outside don't taste good. Why don't we buy some mung beans and try to make it at home?" Meg suggested. They were almost done shopping.
"Okay, okay. Let's go home and make our own mung bean cakes." Amy nodded her little head and raised her hands in agreement.
Meg carried a big bag of mung beans home from the market, and bought all the ingredients needed to make mung bean cakes.
The text version of the recipe was very simple. The core was to peel the skin of the mung beans, soak them, and crush them into a paste. Then, add honey, white sugar, and other ingredients, and set the mung bean cake in a mold. The mung bean cake was completed.
Meg looked through the recipe, and roughly knew that the problem with the mung bean cake he bought on the way here lay in the process of crushing the mung beans. This step was too rough, and caused some of the mung beans to slip through the net. Furthermore, the mung bean cake he had just eaten had a lot of mung bean skin, so the texture was worse.
Irina looked at Meg, who put down the big bag of mung beans, and curiously asked, "Do you know how to make it?"
"Maybe a little." Meg grabbed a handful of mung beans. The mung beans on the Norland Continent were bigger, about the size of a soybean. They were plump, smooth, and had a nice texture.
"Wow, this is so fun! Can we take some away?" Amy had also discovered the fun of these round mung beans. She rummaged through the bag with her little hands, but could only grab five or six at a time.
"Come on, as long as you don't throw them away, you can play with them." Meg grabbed a box, and filled it to the brim.
"Heehee, thank you, Father." Amy walked away with the box, and sat down at the top of the stairs. She picked up a mung bean, and yelled at Ugly Duckling, "Ugly Duckling, you have to bite it back."
"Meow ~"
Ugly Duckling gave a lazy response, and didn't seem to be very interested.
"Gurgle ~"
Amy threw the mung bean in her hand, and the round mung bean rolled across the floor, making a string of sounds.
The lazy Ugly Duckling's ears instantly stood up, and its unfocused eyes became sharp as it stared at the rolling mung bean.
It immediately lay down on the ground, and slowly raised its hind legs, wagged its tail from side to side, and then pounced.
"Bam!"
Ugly Duckling's head crashed into the leg of a chair …
"Hahaha … So stupid …" Amy and Anne were convulsing with laughter.
"Meow ~"
Ugly Duckling got up, shook its head, and let out an aggrieved cry.
"Here we go again," Amy prompted, and threw another mung bean.
This time, Ugly Duckling looked carefully, and after confirming that there was no chair in its way, it pounced forward happily, and pressed down on the rolling mung bean with its paw.
"Big Sister Anne, come and play too." Amy grabbed a handful of mung beans and placed them in Anne's hand, and then threw two mung beans at her.
Ugly Duckling was flustered again.
Meg shook his head with a smile at the sight of the three little guys playing with mung beans so enthusiastically. He took out a large basin, filled half of it with mung beans, and then soaked them in water.
