Chili peppers can indeed ward off the cold, but normal chili peppers have no effect on the cold in Vivian's body. If she eats too much, she'll suffer from discomfort. Could it be that there's something else in this spicy grilled fish aside from chili peppers that can ward off the cold? Michael thought to himself as he picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and placed it into his mouth.
"This spiciness!"
Michael's eyes immediately widened. The spiciness of the sauce enshrouding the fish instantly blossomed in his mouth. This was no ordinary chili peppers!
It was as if countless tiny chili peppers had exploded in his mouth at the same time, and his taste buds instantly went numb, as if they had been pricked by needles!
So this was what it meant to be spicy!
Michael suddenly understood where the word "spicy" came from. This was different from the chili peppers that he had tasted in the past. This spiciness was tinged with a hint of numbness, and it was simply too special.
After biting into the fish meat, the crispy fish skin wrapped around the tender flesh of the fish was incredibly delicious. This was the flavor of sea fish!
Vivian loved to eat fish, so he would often ask people who came back from the coast to bring back some sea fish. However, most of them were dried fish, and fresh sea fish would only be available when he had a flying steed. It was very difficult to maintain the freshness of the fish, and even with his status, he could only eat it once a month at most. After all, he wasn't the type to ask people to come all the way just to eat a fish.
However, not only did this grilled fish not have any fish bones, it was even more delicious than the sea fish that he had tasted in the past. If such a fish were to be shipped from the coast to Chaos City, it would most likely cost more than the 1,600 copper coins listed on the menu.
Michael had initially thought that this grilled fish was a little expensive, but he immediately felt that it was worth it. Even a live fish would be worth it, let alone a grilled fish like this.
The spicy taste wrapped around the delicious fish. After swallowing it, he felt a scalding heat flow down his throat. After entering his body, it spread through his limbs and bones. It was like a flame burning away the excess cold and moisture in his body. The sweat glands all over his body opened up, and as the sweat was expelled from his body, a layer of mist was emitted from his body. It was as if he was sweating and steaming.
What a powerful ability to ward off the cold! Michael immediately opened his eyes. The chilli was indeed very effective in expelling the cold. Even a normal person like him had so much moisture expelled from his body, so the effect would definitely be even better for someone like Vivian, who had too much cold in her body.
Michael, who was still a little skeptical at first, was now completely convinced. The heat flowed through his meridians, but it wasn't painful. Instead, it felt like he was soaking in hot water, and it was very comfortable.
"In that case, all Vivian has to do is eat a spicy grilled fish every day, and her body should be able to slowly recover. Not only will she no longer have to endure the pain of her illness, but she also won't have to endure the pain of her illness. This restaurant … must continue to operate." Michael looked up at Meg. This young man was like a savior who had suddenly appeared, pulling him back from the brink of despair.
Meg wore a smile on his face. He could tell from Michael's expression that he was very satisfied with the spicy grilled fish. In that case, it would be a lot easier to talk about the rankings board later. There was only one day left, and if he still couldn't make it onto the rankings board by tomorrow, then he would completely fail his mission.
"Boss, can I have a pot of rice? This grilled fish is so delicious that it has to be paired with a large pot of rice." Michael looked at Meg with a bright smile.
"Alright, please wait a moment." Meg turned and entered the kitchen, and soon returned with a pot of rice, placing it in front of Michael.
Michael scooped a large bowl of rice for himself, and took a bite of the fish meat with a joyful smile on his face. Such delicious food was simply irresistible.
He had been living in self-recrimination for the past few years, and was unable to forgive himself. After removing the burden that had been weighing on his heart for so many years, Michael felt a lot more relaxed. Being able to enjoy a delicious meal was truly a joyful feeling.
Meg stood off to the side and looked on silently. This man was the ruler of Chaos City, and he stood at the pinnacle of the entire Norland Continent, yet he was sitting in a restaurant eating grilled fish by himself. No one would believe him if he told them about this.
He was the city lord of Chaos City, and also a father.
From his expression, it seemed that the spicy grilled fish would most likely be effective for his daughter, and that made Michael feel very good.
I'm probably the only one who can treat a chef like a doctor, right? Meg thought to himself, and a peculiar expression appeared on his face. He could guarantee that he definitely hadn't spiked the food!
After finishing an entire grilled fish and a large pot of rice at the same time, Michael put down his chopsticks and burped with contentment. It had been a long time since he had eaten a meal for such a long time. However, it would be a waste if he didn't take his time to savor this delicious meal.
"Thank you, Mr. Mak, for creating such a delicious and miraculous spicy grilled fish." Michael turned to Meg with gratitude in his eyes.
"You're far too kind, City Lord. It's our duty as chefs to cook delicious food for our customers." Meg smiled in response. He was thinking about how he should bring up the Aden Square food competition without seeming too abrupt.
"Thank you for your hospitality. I still have some matters to attend to tonight, so I'll be taking my leave now. I'll come back to try other delicacies next time." Before Meg had a chance to say anything, Michael had already risen to his feet. He removed his hand from the table, revealing a dragon coin and six gold coins, and strode out of the restaurant.
"Eh? Like I said, City Lord, I'm treating this grilled fish to a father. "Meg picked up the money on the table, and was just about to catch up to Michael.
"Then consider this money to buy candy for the little girl. It's just a small token of my appreciation," Michael replied with a smile, and left without even turning his head.
"I haven't even mentioned the Aden Square food competition yet …" Meg looked at Michael's departing figure. It appeared that he really did have something important to attend to, so he couldn't bring himself to call out to him.
"Alright, looks like I'll have to give up on this mission. If I go to the city lord's castle to file a complaint, it'll most likely take a few days for Michael to receive it. By then, the Aden Square food competition competition would've already been set." Meg heaved a resigned sigh and shook his head. He had thought that this would be a simple mission, but who would've thought that something like this would happen? That was a horrible feeling!
After closing the door, Meg took a look at the time. It was already 10 pm, so he went upstairs to wash up before going to bed. He didn't think too much about it. After all, there were going to be more missions in the future, so there would definitely be a chance to unlock the Haagen-Dazs recipe.
