Chapter 2379: Monkey Is a Girl?

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Mag had always been very tolerant of his peers’ copying behavior. This was a very important step in his plan to change the Norland Continent’s food and beverage structure.

Recently, the blacksmith shops had received a lot of orders of semi-circular metal pots. The frying wok had become a cooking utensil that many chefs were learning to use. It even became some housewives’ first choice.

The stir-frying method used to be a niche cooking method, but now it is a cooking method that was as common as stewing. The sharing of the eggplant with garlic sauce’s recipe was a very important catalyst.

Saute, bake, sear… All the different cooking methods slowly became more well-known and liked after Mamy Restaurant’s promotion.

Of course, one definitely couldn’t say that Mag had created these cooking methods.

But, he achieved the effect of promotion.

If the method of cooking scrumptious food was only grasped in the hands of a few, this world would be too boring.

Letting more people know about more cooking methods in different territories might create dishes that were surprising.

If the people who lived by the sea only knew how to boil and steam seafood, wasn’t that wasting the barbecue and hot pot?

If the herders on the grassland only knew how to roast and stew beef and mutton, wouldn’t they have missed out on the braised beef and dried beef?

Mag hoped that one day if ever someone else transmigrated from Earth to this world, they wouldn’t die immediately because they were choked to death by a pancake. Instead, they would marvel at the food in this world because it was so diversified and distinctive, yet a little familiar.

However, he simply couldn’t tolerate certain things.

“Where is that so-called ‘Mami Restaurant’?” Mag asked Gina.

Gina pointed at a place as she answered, “It’s over there and it’s quite a big restaurant. It was just opened two days ago and its renovation style is very similar to our restaurant.”

“This is too much. This is an outright fake and we will be blamed if someone falls sick after eating it.”

“We have to take care of it.”

The maidens also spoke up angrily.

I’ll go take a look tomorrow.” Mag nodded with a smile. He also wanted to know who the person was who opened this counterfeit restaurant.

The restaurant was cleaned and the ladies returned to their dormitory.

Annie went upstairs to draw and Kiddo and Amy were playing hide-and-seek. They were sweating profusely and not at all sleepy.

Hide-and-seek was a great game, but it was hard on the ‘duck’.

As the victim of this game, Ugly Duckling had already chased after the children for the entire night.

Kiddo ran behind a pillar, poked her head out and made a funny face at Ugly Duckling. “Over here, Ugly Duckling. Come and chase me!”

Amy climbed onto the ceiling beam and waved at Ugly Duckling. “I’m over here. Come and catch me, Ugly Duckling.”

Ugly Duckling moved its head around and it didn’t know who to go after.

Most importantly… it couldn’t afford to annoy or anger either of them!

“Alright, my little princesses. The game is over and we should go upstairs to wash up and sleep.” Mag came over with a smile and rubbed Ugly Duckling’s head before opening his arms wide to Amy on the beam and saying, “Come, Little Amy. Jump down. Father will catch you.”

“Then, I will jump.”

Amy leaped down and was caught by Mag gently. He kissed her on the forehead before putting her down.

“I also want a hug. I also want to be lifted up. I also want a kiss.” Kiddo ran out from the pillar, hugged Mag’s thigh and started crawling upwards.

“Alright, alright. Kiddo gets a hug, a lift and a kiss too.” Mag lifted the little one above his head and tossed her upwards gently. He caught her and tossed her up gently again.

Kiddo’s bell-like laughter echoed in the restaurant.

“Alright. You should go upstairs to sleep now.” Mag kissed Kiddo and then put her down.

Ugly Duckling slumped on the floor, completely spent as it looked at Mag gratefully.

“Let’s go. I’ll bring you two to wash up.” Gina came over with a smile and casually cast two colorful bubbles onto the two little ones. The bubbles engulfed the two little ones like an air shroud before floating upstairs lightly.

“We’re flying in bubbles!”

“It’s so fun!”

The two little ones floated away happily.

Mag watched Gina’s retreating back with a hint of sadness. She was still a maiden who loved to greet people with a hug one month ago. Why did she feel like an old mother right now?

Mag saw the two little ones waiting at the door in their pajamas after he went upstairs to take a bath and change into a bathrobe.

“Why are you two not lying on the bed?” Mag asked smilingly.

“We want to listen to Father’s stories before we sleep.”

“Yes. Kiddo wants to listen to the story of ‘Monkey Subdues White-Skeleton Demon’.”

The two little ones stared at Mag and spoke expectantly.

“I want to listen to it too.” Annie poked her head out from behind the door and looked at Mag expectantly too.

“Do you mind if I listen in as well?” Gina walked out slowly.

“Alright. Since you all like to listen to stories so much, I’ll continue with the story of ‘Monkey Subdues White-Skeleton Demon’ that we started previously.” Mag rubbed the heads of the two little ones gently and walked into the room.

Normal fairy tales could no longer satisfy these little ones. Even Kiddo said that the stories of the princes and princesses were too boring.

Two days ago, Mag told them the story of ‘Journey to the West’ in an excess of enthusiasm. He didn’t expect the three little ones to enjoy it tremendously and even Gina became his loyal listener.

This monkey’s charisma had successfully crossed over worlds and races.

“The master and his disciples headed west and came to the White Tiger Ridge…”

Mag told them a chapter of ‘Monkey Subdues White-Skeleton Demon’ and the four of them would cheer for Monkey’s alertness and clapped over Tripitaka’s foolishness.

Mag finished the story and the four of them were still wide awake. They were not sleepy at all.

“Father, what happened after the four of them left the White Tiger Ridge?” Amy asked.

“If you want to know what happens next, tune in tomorrow. It’s late now and you have to go to sleep, or else you will be late for school tomorrow.” Mag stopped a story at a climax to keep them in suspense. It was also a problem when the story was too interesting. It made the children too engrossed and unable to fall asleep.

“Father, father, is Monkey a big sister or a big brother?” Kiddo asked curiously.

“Of course, he is a big brother,” Mag replied with a smile.

“You said Monkey came out from a rock, so why can’t Monkey be a big sister?” Kiddo asked seriously.

“Erm… This…” Even though Mag thought that Kiddo’s explanation was a little ridiculous, he didn’t know how to refute the little one’s interesting and out-of-the-norm thinking.

“If Monkey is a big sister, is she and Tripitaka a couple then? That’s why she stayed loyal even though Tripitaka bullied her so many times? This is so sweet.” Annie propped her chin on her hands and pondered.

“But if Monkey is a guy, isn’t that even sweeter?” Gina thought.
