"A parent-teacher conference?" Meg faltered slightly upon hearing this. He suddenly recalled that Amy had mentioned a parent-teacher conference to him the day before yesterday, but he had completely forgotten about it due to his busy schedule. Furthermore, Amy was currently studying magic with Crassus and Julian, so he didn't think that Luna would be the one to notify him.
Luna seemed to have detected the confusion in Meg's eyes, and she smiled as she said, "That's right. The students of Chaos School have to hold a parent-teacher conference every semester. Amy is currently studying magic with two magic casters, but the school assigned her to my class as her homeroom teacher, so I'm here to notify you that you'll be attending the parent-teacher conference tomorrow."
Meg immediately nodded, and said, "I see. Thank you, Teacher Luna. What time will the conference be held tomorrow? I'll be sure to be there on time. "
"The exact time will be between 1: 30 p.m. and 4: 30 p.m. tomorrow." Luna looked at Meg with a hesitant expression, and said, "The school wants both parents of your child to be present at the parent-teacher conference …"
Meg looked at Luna's hesitant expression with a smile, and said, "Amy has also mentioned this to me before, but I didn't receive any specific notice, so I can take care of it."
Luna looked at the smile on Meg's face, and felt an inexplicable sense of security. A smile also appeared on her face, and she nodded as she said, "Alright, Mr. Meg, I'll see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Meg nodded with a smile.
"Aisha won't refuse, right? If she refuses, then it doesn't seem right for Phyllis to go … But no matter what, it's better than Blour! "Meg murmured to himself as he looked at Luna's departing figure.
Meg, who was about to go to the talent market with his bicycle, suddenly stopped. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I almost forgot that the Catering Association's Gourmet Ranking competition is going to start in two or three days. We have to figure out the eggplant with garlic sauce as soon as possible. Otherwise, the vegetarian category will be useless."
"System, why don't you give me a recipe for Eggplant with Garlic Sauce?" Meg tried asking in his mind.
"The System is in closed-door cultivation to research fertilizer, please do not disturb!" A line of words silently floated across Meg's mind.
Meg: "…"
I don't believe you.
Meg cursed silently in his heart. He rode his bicycle and went to the talent market. There were all kinds of people from different races, and he was a little dazzled by them. However, he didn't see a single one that he liked.
When he came out of the talent market, Meg had already recognized a fact — he was also someone who cared about appearances.
Even if he was innocent.
However, when he looked at the cleaning ladies who were slightly inferior in terms of looks, he couldn't make up his mind to hire them to Mamy's.
On the way, Meg went to the Broad Recruitment Agency. He found the owner of Two Pieces, Chris, and asked him to help him find a suitable candidate.
Even though he was feeling as if he had suffered a loss from the previous transaction, Crease was still a smooth and slick businessman. He didn't express any displeasure toward Mag in the slightest, and he followed all of the necessary procedures. However, Mag's demands were quite complex and demanding, so he asked for double the commission.
"As long as I'm satisfied with the person, double the commission won't be an issue." Meg nodded with a smile.
"With the popularity of your restaurant, Mr. Mak, if you put up a recruitment notice on the door, I'm sure many people will come to apply." Chris accepted the letter of entrustment with a smile.
"That's a good idea." Meg's eyes lit up, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. There were many customers who said they would work for free as long as they were given a meal, and there were many outstanding talents among them. Chris's suggestion opened up a new line of thought for Meg. He patted Chris on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chris." Then, he turned and walked out of the restaurant.
"This …" Chris's expression completely froze. He looked at Meg's back as he rode away on his bicycle, and he wanted to slap himself. Why did he say that?!
After that, Mag went to the market. There were eggplants in this world, too. However, compared to the eggplants on Earth, the ones on the Norland Continent were larger. They were about the size of a winter melon. It was said that they had been discovered in the territory of the forest trolls. Apart from their size, they tasted just like the eggplants on Earth.
"This grilled eggplant should be enough for a table of people." Meg picked up a large purple eggplant from a stall on the ground. It weighed over a dozen kilograms, and he was stunned.
The middle-aged man who was leaning against a rattan chair was immediately energized when he saw Meg carrying the eggplant. He smiled, and said, "Young man, this is an eggplant that I grew in my own house. It's definitely the largest eggplant in our village, and it's cheap too. It's only 10 copper coins for such a large eggplant. If you want more, I can give you a lower price."
Less than a copper coin per kilogram. It's really cheap. Mag thought to himself. However, due to the limitations of cooking methods, other species, apart from the forest trolls, generally stayed away from eggplants, which were soft and had a strange taste. This was also the reason why this old farmer had a small mountain of eggplants in front of him, but it was almost unmarketable.
Meg picked three eggplants that looked good, and handed three silver coins to the owner. "I don't want too many, so I'll take these three. I'll come back next time."
"Buy some more. If you buy five eggplants, you'll get one free." The owner took the money and tied the three eggplants up with a straw rope for Meg as he continued to sell them. It seemed that even the forest trolls didn't like eggplants this year. This made him very worried, and now he was trying to sell as many eggplants as he could. He couldn't let them all rot in the field.
"I'll come back tomorrow." Meg shook his head and left with the three eggplants, which weighed over 40 kilograms. These were enough for him to try cooking today. The most important thing now was to make the bean paste. The bean paste played a crucial role in determining the authenticity of a dish of eggplant with garlic sauce. A good bean paste was half the battle won.
When Meg was buying spices, he happened to see Phyllis, who was still pacing back and forth in front of the beef stall. Seeing her carefully selecting the beef, he didn't greet her. Instead, he watched her for a while and went back with the eggplants and spices.
Choosing and purchasing ingredients was a very important ability, and also the foundation of becoming a chef. Phyllis had to master it independently.
