Chapter 2387: You Fickle Man!

The hot and sour shredded potatoes gained unanimous praises with its relatively lower price and the customers’ love in the midst of many orders of ‘another bowl of rice, please’.

He had sold many bowls of rice today, but the overall sales had decreased due to the hot and sour shredded potato’s low price.

However, Mag didn’t care about that. He didn’t need to depend on the restaurant’s sales for a living now. It was enough as long as he and the customers felt happy.

“Excellent ingredients are the cornerstones of the top-notch delicacies. They are also the cornerstones for the restaurant to go up to the next level. New mission: could the Host please research and develop a delicacy that is priced over 10,000 copper coins! Time frame for the mission: seven days! There will be great rewards after completing it!” The system’s voice rang out in Mag’s heart.

“Top-notch delicacies are using the most common ingredients and the simplest cooking method to create a dish that everyone likes.” Mag pressed his lips together and inwardly said with disdain, “System, are you issuing this mission because you think that selling potatoes can’t earn much money?”

“Nonsense! This System isn’t that kind of system!”

“A dish that costs 10,000 copper coins is on par with the ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’. Then, wouldn’t I have to serve sea cucumbers, abalone…” Mag curved his lips. “You’re going to earn my money for these things, right?”

“Uncouth!” the system seriously said, “As a proper system, I always sell the ingredients at a fair price!”

“A proper system won’t be selling ingredients.”

“Erm…” The system was speechless. It tried to argue. “This System has no choice as I have to maintain the operation of the farms. Do you know how much it costs to rear a crayfish? Do you know how many steps there are in order to rear a shiitake mushroom from a spore?”

Mag pursed his lips and said, “Alright, alright. I’m already sick of your explanations. Isn’t it just a dish with a 10,000 copper coins price tag? I can just do a roast pig and it will cost more than 10,000.”

System: “…?”

After pondering, Mag said, “Roasting a whole pig is a little too much. Maybe I should just roast a piglet? It’s smaller and easier to maneuver.”

Mag’s roasting techniques were getting better, so he began to have some ideas and confidence about roasting bigger items.

Roast pig was the Ducas Restaurant’s signature dish. Mag didn’t like this restaurant, so he didn’t feel very guilty about snatching their business.

“The price of pork has risen recently, so the price of piglets has increased too. It costs 2,000 copper coins each,” the system swiftly answered.

“Does the Norland Continent have African swine fever too?” Mag frowned.

“Every piglet is a potential competitor for the King of Pigs. The roasting of each piglet means there would be one piglet less that could grow into a 250kg fat pig. Hence, the price tag of 2,000 is very reasonable,” the system said reasonably.

“Piglets could be found everywhere. I can buy local pigs.”

“The piglets provided by this System come from the purebred King of Boars in the Twilight Forest. Their meat is solid and they are fed with breast milk. Other piglets simply cannot compare with them!”

“It’s fine. It’s better for roast pig to be fatter. I don’t have to brush oil over them.” Mag was unconvinced.

“Then, there will be no difference between you and Ducas Restaurant.”

“The same ingredients and similar techniques could produce two completely different dishes in the hands of different chefs. This could better display a chef’s ability,” Mag replied calmly.

“The local piglets cost 2,000 copper coins each as well.” It was the system’s turn to sound cool.

“Huh? Are things crazy?” Mag frowned.

“Pig-rearing is still a new industry now. It isn’t standardized and promoted yet. Breeding pigs is rare, so the price of piglets is generally high.”

“That’s alright. I can choose to roast a whole goat. An adolescent goat only costs 1,000 to 2,000 copper coins and the price of a whole roasted goat is much higher than a roast piglet.” Mag immediately changed his mind.

He didn’t know about the price of the piglets well, but he knew about the price of mutton. It was a common meat in the market.

“You fickle man!” the system said angrily.

Mag couldn’t be bothered with it. He went to say goodbye to the ladies at the dormitory after cleaning up the restaurant. He suddenly remembered Camilla’s invitation when he was closing the door.

The night was dark and the moon was mesmerizing. A faint fragrance of flowers was in the air. Spring was here and it was the season for animals to procreate again.

“Should I go, or not go?” Mag pondered.

Gina had already brought the children upstairs to sleep. They had been playing all night, so they fell asleep after they went upstairs to have a bath.

Meanwhile, Irina said that she had something on with the Night Elves and would be home later.

“I’m just going to chat with an employee who had a little attitude issue and that’s all,” Mag murmured to himself before going out and walking towards the little forest at the northwestern corner of Aden Square.

Mag heard sounds of moaning and sounds of a whip slapping on skin as soon as he arrived at the forest.

“Are things already this exciting before I even arrived?” Mag’s footsteps faltered and he went into the forest with a puzzled look.

“Do you dare to do this again?!”

“I will never do it again… I will never do it again… Please let me go…”

“Ha, let you go? Let’s talk again after I am appeased.”

“Smack! Smack! Smack!”

Mag stood behind a tree and watched Camilla, who was wearing thigh-high boots, step on a man in black in the empty field in the midst of the forest and whip him with a thin leather whip.

She wasn’t whipping him for fun like in the adult movies. The two meter long whip made marks in the air and created sonic booms before landing on that man’s body, making the blood splash everywhere.

The man’s screams were horrible. He even screamed like a castrated pig when the whip landed in between his legs.

Mag snapped his legs together instinctively as he pondered if he should go forward to stop that crazy woman.

Meanwhile, Camilla seemed to have sensed Mag’s arrival as she whipped the man hard on his back. That man stopped making any sounds after a muffled scream.

Camilla turned around and said to Mag behind the tree with a faint smile, “Why are you hiding back there since you are already here?”

The full moon hung up high in the sky as the moonlight landed on Camilla.

The tight-fitting black skirt with a high slit displayed her voluptuous figure perfectly. Her fair smooth legs had a beautiful shape and her black boots highlighted that even more.

Her lips were so red as though she had just sucked blood. She looked at Mag with a cold and beautiful gaze and spoke to him like a queen.

“What did he do to provoke you?” Mag walked out from the tree and cast a glance at the man in black who had fainted.

Camilla smirked coldly and said with sarcasm, “Some men think they can do dirty deeds in deserted areas when the night is dark.”
