Chaos City.
Amy's.
Light shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Yabemiya, Barbara, Raina, Gina, Shirley, Anna, and the other children who stayed behind were sitting around the dining table, enjoying their hot pot. The grill at the side was filled with kebabs.
"Speaking of which, Boss and the rest have been gone for almost two weeks, right? I wonder when they will be back, "Yabemiya lamented as she dipped a piece of tripe into the pot.
"Boss said he was going to go out and play for a month before he left. I think he will be gone for another half a month." Shirley chewed on a raw cucumber to ease the numbness in her lips.
Phyllis poured the potato chips in her hand into the pot, and smilingly said, "Speaking of which, I really miss Boss's delicious food."
"I already have a feeling that when Boss comes back, I will definitely eat and drink like a pig for a few days to make up for the weight loss." Hannah pondered seriously.
"Oh, yes. Hannah, how's your brewery now?" Mia asked.
"It's pretty good. The production has already started, and the first batch of wine will be ready next month." Hannah nodded.
Barbara took two kebabs from the grill, and then seriously said to everyone, "Everyone, please cherish the delicacies in front of you. I feel that the Norland Continent is quite dangerous now. If the situation gets worse, let's go back to the moon together."
"Did something big happen?" Shirley slowly put down the cucumber in her hand, and looked at Babla with a serious expression.
Everyone also looked at Barbara. She had been helping out at the city lord's castle recently, and had taken time out to come back for a meal with them today.
"Mm-hmm. Some scary fellows appeared in the north of the Roth Empire. I might have to leave Chaos City in a few days' time. I don't know how long I will be gone." Barbara nodded. She quickly smiled, and said, "But don't worry too much. It will definitely be resolved. After all, all the races on the Norland Continent are going to form an alliance soon."
The ladies didn't know much about these things. Camilla, who knew a little, wasn't in Chaos City at the moment.
However, after hearing Barbara's words, he still paid attention to it.
"Recently, people have been coming to the ice cream shop every day to ask when the boss will be back and when the restaurant will be open again. By the way, is there any way we can contact the boss?" Yabemiya changed the topic.
"Well … Not really. The boss is such a heartless man. He took the two babies out to play and left us at home," Angela said with some hidden bitterness.
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and cheerful.
…
"Achoo …"
When Meg closed the door of the tavern, he sneezed.
"Do gods catch colds too?" Meg rubbed his nose and muttered softly.
"Maybe someone is talking bad about you behind your back," Irina took a bottle of red wine and two goblets and looked at Meg with a smile.
"I'm such a good person. I don't think anyone would scold me." Meg walked over with a smile, and took the red wine from Irina's hand. He kissed her cheek gently, and asked, "Are the children asleep?"
"Anne is still painting. I told her to go to bed early. Amy was tired from playing in the day, so she fell asleep after taking a shower." Irina nodded with a blush.
"Seems like it's going to be another inseparable night." Meg poured the red wine into the decanter. The scarlet red wine swirled slightly, and was as intoxicating as the night.
…
"What would Mr. Hades and the rest be doing in this moonlit night?" Effie sat by the window and pulled open a corner of the curtains. She looked at the room diagonally opposite with the curtains drawn and the faint light shining in. She was in a daze.
"Oh, right. They have children, so they should be coaxing them to sleep now."
"And they went out today and did so many things. They even had to open the restaurant to entertain guests at night. They must be tired and sleepy. After taking a shower, they didn't want to move at all and immediately fell asleep."
Effie thought about it, and her eyes fell on the book that was peeking out from under the blanket.
She looked back at Mara, who was fast asleep on the small bed, and then reached out to take out the "Golden Lotus" book.
Mara was frightened yesterday, so she let her sleep in her room today.
Effie quietly flipped through the beautiful scrolls. Her face was slightly red, but she couldn't help but think of Mr. Hades.
"Effie … You're such a terrible woman …" After a long time, Effie put the book back under the blanket and closed the curtains with a dazed look in her eyes.
…
The next morning, Mag made breakfast, and took out a basket of field snails from the fridge to process them.
Amy was the first to come downstairs. She looked at Meg, who was removing the tail of the river snail, and asked curiously, "Father, what's this?"
"This is a river snail, an ingredient." Meg introduced with a smile and handed one to Amy.
Amy put it in her mouth and took a bite. She frowned and looked at the river snail with two bite marks in her hand. She shook her head and said, "It's not good."
"It hasn't been processed yet. Of course it's not good." Meg took the river snail back from Amy's hand with a smile. He cut off the Fat Head Fish in his hand and removed the river snail's tail.
"But its shell is so hard. Will it soften after cooking?"
Amy moved a small stool and took a soup dumpling from the pot. Then she sat in front of Meg and took small bites of the dumpling as she asked.
"No, the river snail's shell can't be eaten. We can only eat its meat." Meg pointed to a river snail in the basin that was attached to the edge of the basin. "Look, the meat is inside the shell. That's the soft part."
"It looks like a snail." Amy leaned forward and stared at it with sparkling eyes. Then she quickly looked up at Meg. "Is that snail edible? I saw a lot of them in the backyard yesterday. "
"Snails …" Meg's first reaction was to shake his head. But after thinking about it, French snails were a famous French dish. It would be wrong to say that they were inedible.
But strangely, he could accept the spicy river snails by the roadside, but he could not accept the French snails served on the table in a Western restaurant, even though they did look somewhat similar.
"Some snails are edible, but the ones in our backyard are inedible." Meg smiled and said, "If that wishing well is lying to you that those snails are edible, let's fill up the well."
He was more worried about waking up tomorrow morning to a big pot of snail soup on the table.
That scene …
Just thinking about it was terrifying.
So he directly blocked the mouth of Amy's nameless System to prevent it from issuing strange quests.
"I see …" Amy nodded and then asked curiously, "Then what kind of snails are edible?"
"New side quest issued: The Snail Seeking Knowledge! Please find an edible snail and cook it into food! "The System's voice sounded in Amy's mind.
