"How can there be such a beautiful and exquisite restaurant in this world? Even in Rodu, I have never seen such a beautiful restaurant." Angus sized up the restaurant with amazement in his eyes. His family was quite well-off back then, and he had tried all the famous restaurants in Rodu. But in terms of exquisiteness and beauty, there was really no one that could compare to this Mamy's.
Of course, in his eyes, gold and diamonds were not considered beautiful. They were just more dazzling.
But Mamy's two huge crystals had completely surpassed the countless gold and gems, and were extremely stunning.
"The meals in such a restaurant must be very expensive, right? But I … "Angus touched the only copper coin in his pocket and sighed silently in his heart. He felt as if he was sitting on a carpet of needles, and was a little restless. He could only hold the cup of water and drink it one mouthful after another.
10 minutes later, Meg walked out with a plate of red braised pork and a bowl of rice. He placed it in front of Angus, and said with a smile, "This is red braised pork, the new dish that the restaurant is going to launch today. No customer has tried it yet. Old man, can you help me try the taste?"
"It smells so good!" Angus's eyes had already lit up. The rich aroma of the meat wafted to his nose, and it was better than any meat that he had eaten in the past.
Looking at the red braised pork in the black terracotta bowl again, it was a mixture of fat and lean meat, and the color was bright red. Even the meat skin had a crystal-clear and chewy feeling, making one want to swallow their saliva.
"Meat … I can smell it just from this aroma. It's definitely a rare delicacy in the world. It's just that my teeth are not good, and I haven't been able to chew meat for many years. I can only thank you for your kindness, Boss." Angus sighed softly with a look of pity. It was really a pity that he could only look at such delicacies but not eat them.
Meg smiled, and said, "Don't rush to a conclusion. This is a dish that is also very friendly to old people. If you don't try it, how will you know if it's suitable?"
"Can I chew it?" Angus was surprised when he heard that. He looked at the smiling Meg, and hesitated for a while before picking up a piece of red braised pork with his chopsticks.
The cube-shaped pork had distinct skin, fat, and lean meat. It was a piece of meat that would normally make people feel greasy, but now it looked like it made people want to give it a try.
Angus put the braised pork to his mouth and took a bite of the pig skin, which was usually the hardest to chew.
"Yes!"
The pigskin, which was usually extremely tough, was easily cut open by his broken teeth. It was as if he did not feel the slightest bit of obstruction. The fatty meat under the pigskin melted in his mouth. As he chewed carefully, the strength of his bite was barely discernible, and there was no pressure at all.
The sweet and soft Red Braised Meat was fat but not greasy. With a gentle bite, the sweet gravy overflowed from the meat. The delicious taste of the Red Braised Meat was perfectly released at this moment.
The taste of meat that he hadn't tasted for a long time made Angus's taste buds cheer. He couldn't help but indulge in the delicacy that he had never tasted before.
The delicious Red Braised Pork, together with the soft rice, drove away all the coldness of the winter, immersing people in the warmth of the delicious taste.
He thought of some people — his wife who had supported him in times of need, and his son who surrounded him at his knees. Those few years were the happiest time of his life.
If that incident hadn't happened, their family of three would be able to live a very happy life in Rodu now.
A drop of tear rolled down Angus's old face slowly and landed on the ground.
Angus put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at the empty bowl in front of him. He looked at Meg, and said, "Boss, thank you. This is the most delicious food I've ever eaten."
"Let me get you another bowl of rice," Meg said with a smile as he picked up the bowl and walked towards the kitchen. Soon, he came out with another bowl of rice.
It seemed like this Red Braised Meat had a very good adaptability. Even an old man with bad teeth could have another bowl. It could be considered as a successful research.
Angus finished the second bowl of rice and the entire bowl of Red Braised Meat. There wasn't even a drop of gravy left.
"I have wine and meat. Let's have a drink." Meg walked out with a plate of beef kebabs and two large mugs of beer. He placed one mug in front of Angus and the other in front of himself.
"This … I've made you spend money again." Angus's face was full of guilt. But when he saw the white bubbles of beer in the mugs and the fragrance of the wine in the air, he couldn't help but gulp again.
He used to be a person who couldn't sleep without a drink before bed. But later on, in order to go further, he really couldn't afford to drink alcohol, so he gradually quit. It should have been more than half a year since he drank half a drop of alcohol. The last time he drank was when he picked up a broken wine jar and drank a few mouthfuls of wine mixed with rainwater.
Meg raised the mug and gestured. Angus carefully held the mug with both hands and gestured to Meg. Then, he leaned to the edge of the mug and took a small sip.
The cold and refreshing beer was even sweeter than the clear spring water in the mountains. It had a faint barley aroma and a special fragrance.
It was similar to barley wine, but compared to the slightly bitter barley wine, this refreshing and delicious beer made him want to drink more.
"Good wine." Angus praised and tried to take another big sip. The grease from the red braised pork previously had completely disappeared. Although it was a little cold in the winter, for an old drunkard, it was more refreshing.
Angus finished the mug of beer in a short while and burped.
Meg refilled his mug and said, "Old man, I'm actually a portrait artist. If you believe me, maybe you can tell me how your child looks like. I'll draw you a possible appearance of him now. You can take the picture and find someone. The success rate may be higher."
"Really?!" Angus looked at Meg in surprise.
"Yes." Meg nodded.
"My child …" Angus began to sink into deep thought. Then, he began to describe the physical characteristics of the child who went missing 25 years ago.
According to the System's instructions, Mag guided Angus's memories and tried his best to restore his real appearance, and not the image that was living in Angus's imagination.
"There is a black mole on the left side of the forehead and a crescent-shaped scar on the back of the head. His real name is Beck Barzel …" Meg began to confirm the key information.
"Ding! Information recording complete! "
"Ding! Gene sampling complete! "
"Entering the analysis and drawing stage. According to the probability of genetic mutation, the system will draw three possible appearances and provide views from three directions!"
The system's voice sounded in Meg's mind.
"Well done. I'll reward you with a copper coin." Meg said with satisfaction.
"It's the system's honor to serve you. The system will wholeheartedly provide you with better service!" The system's excited and flattering voice sounded.
