A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 2115 - Inquisitive Snail!



Chapter 2115 Inquisitive Snail!

Chaos City.

In Mamy Restaurant, the light shone brightly behind the floor-to-ceiling window.

Yabemiya, Babla, Rena, Gina, Shirley, Anna, and the other kids who stayed sat around a table, enjoying hot pot. There was a grill at the side filled with kebabs.

“Say, Boss has left for almost two weeks, right? When will they be back?” Yabemiya lamented as she dipped tripe in the pot

“Boss said he would be gone for a month before he left. He probably will be enjoying himself for another half a month.” Shirley chewed on a raw cucumber to soothe the burn from the spiciness on her lips.

Firis poured the potato slices beside her into the pot with a smile, and said, “Speaking of which, I really miss the delicious food Boss makes.”

“I already have a feeling that when Boss is back, I will stuff myself for a few days to make up for my stomach that has become smaller during this period,” Hannah said thoughtfully. “Right, Hannah, how’s your wine-brewing factory going?” Miya asked.

“It’s alright. We’ve started normal production, and we should be able to produce our first batch of wine next month,” Hannah said with a nod.

Babla took two kebabs from the grill, and looked at everyone seriously as she said, “Guys, we have to treasure the delicacies before us. I feel that the Norland Continent is in a rather dangerous situation currently. If things get worse, come to the moon with me.”

“Did something major happen?” Shirley put her cucumber down slowly, and looked at Babla seriously.

Everyone turned to look at Babla too. She had been busy helping out at the city lord’s castle recently, and finally made time to come back today to gather with them. “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’ll have to be gone for.” Babla nodded. However, she very quickly smiled, and said, “But don’t be too worried. It will definitely be solved. After all, the races of the Norland Continent will be forming an alliance soon.”

The ladies did not know these things too well. Camilla, who knew a little, was not in Chaos City currently. However, after hearing what Babla said, they all started to be a little careful.

“Recently, there have been people coming to the ice cream shop to ask when Boss is coming back and when the restaurant will resume operations. Say, is there a way we can contact Boss?” Yabemiya changed the topic.

“Err… no. Boss is such a heartless man. He brought his two darlings out to play, and forgot us all at home,” Angela grumbled resentfully.

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere lightened a lot.

“Achoo…”

When Mag was closing the door of the tavern, he sneezed.

“Would gods catch a cold too?” Mag muttered under his breath as he rubbed his nose.

“Maybe someone is bad-mouthing you behind your back.” Irina, who was holding a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses, looked at Mag with a smile.

“I am such a nice person. I suppose no one would scold me.” Mag walked over with a smile. He took the red wine from Irina’s hand, and gave her a peck on her cheek. “Are the kids asleep?”

“Annie is still drawing. I told her to turn in early. Amy played the entire day, and was tired, so she slept after showering,” Irina said with a nod as she blushed.

“It seems it will be a night of entanglement once again.” Mag poured the red wine into a decanter, and swirled the red liquid. It was just as intoxicating as the night.

What is Mr. Hades doing on such a lovely night? Eiffie sat by the window with a corner of her curtain lifted. She looked at the closed curtain diagonally across the street as she propped her chin on her hand. Faint light was shining out from the window.

Right, they have kids. They must be putting their children to sleep now.

Besides, they went out today, and did so many things. Then they had to serve their customers at night. They must be very tired. They would probably lie in bed and fall asleep immediately after showering

As she thought, Eiffie’s gaze landed on the book under the corner of her blanket.

She turned to glance at Mala, who had fallen sound asleep on the little bed, before reaching over to take The Plum in the Golden Vase.

Mala got a fright yesterday. Therefore, she was sleeping in Eiffie’s room tonight.

Eiffie flipped through the exquisitely drawn book softly and blushed. She could not help but think of Mr. Hades.

Eiffie… you’re a terrible woman… After a long time, Eiffie stuffed the book back under her blanket, and looked dreamily toward the drawn curtains.

The next morning, Mag made breakfast. After that, he took a basket of escargots out of the refrigerator, and started cleaning them. Amy was the first to come downstairs. “Father, what is this?” she asked curiously as she watched Mag.

“This is an escargot. It’s an ingredient,” Mag introduced with a smile, and passed one to Amy.

Amy put it in her mouth and bit on it. She frowned and looked at the escargot with two tooth prints as she shook her head, and said, “This is not nice.”

“It is unprocessed. Of course it is not good.” Mag smiled. He took the escargot back from Amy, and used Fat Head Fish to cut off the tail of the escargot.

Amy carried a stool over, and took a soup dumpling out from the pot. After that, she sat in front of Mag, eating her soup dumpling while she asked, “But the shell is very hard. Would it turn soft after cooking?”.

“No. The shell cannot be eaten. We can only eat the meat.” Mag pointed to one escargot that was climbing onto the side of the basin, and said, “Look, there is meat within the shell. That is the soft part.”

“It looks like a snail.” Amy inched over and stared at it with her eyes shining bright. She quickly looked up at Mag, and asked, “In that case, can snails be eaten? I saw many in the backyard yesterday.”

“Snails…” Mag’s first reaction was to shake his head. However, after thinking about it, French escargots were a famous French dish. It was not right to say that snails could not be eaten.

However, the strange thing was that while Mag could accept the spicy escargot sold at roadside stalls, he could not accept the French escargot served in Western restaurants no matter how similar they looked.

“Some snails can be eaten, but those in our backyard can’t,” Mag said with a smile. “If that wishing well lied to you, saying that those snails can be eaten, let’s cover that well up.”

He was worried he’d see a table with a large pot of snail soup when he woke up the next morning

That scene…

It was scary just thinking about it.

Therefore, he made sure that Amy’s system did not have the chance to give out strange missions.

“I see…” Amy nodded. She then asked curiously, “In that case, which snails can be eaten?”

“New quest: Inquisitive Snail! Please find edible snails and cook them!” The System’s voice rang in Amy’s head.
