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

Chapter 1695: Roast Mutton

The chilly wind blowing from the ice mountains caressed the Silver Blue Grass.

The warm sunlight made it hard to discern if it was winter or spring.

The mutton cooking on the simple grill made from stone was slowly becoming brown. The fragrance of grilled meat and the sizzling sound of oil sprang forth.

The meat, which was only seasoned with nothing but salt, had a really enticing smell that was comparable to Mag’s beef kebab.

“What kind of sheep is this?” Mag could not help but ask out of curiosity.

“This is the blue sheep.” Eddie flipped the grilled mutton quickly as he introduced it with a smile. “It’s a special sheep that can only be found in the Blue Grassland. Only the sheep that feed on the Silver Blue Grass would not have the strong stench.”

Blue sheep? Looks like this little sheep is feeling blue, Amy thought to herself as she craned her neck to look around. “Let me take a look. There’s another blue sheep there. This won’t do. Let’s catch it and grill it.”

“This is a Shangri-La,” Mag commented with a smile. The extremely cold place in the northwestern area was a place filled with snow and ice. It had always been a forgotten place. Even during the Norland Continent race wars, this place was not affected.

Wars happened because of territorial disputes, and the northwestern area had vast unclaimed lands, but none of the races actually cared for them.

The Blue Grassland was obviously an accidental phenomenon. However, other than the Silver Blue Grass and sheep in this grassland, there wasn’t even a single magic beast. Therefore, for the different races, this piece of land obviously had no value.

“The roast mutton is ready. Give it a try.” Eddie placed a handful of roast mutton kebab on a wooden tray, and passed it to Mag and the rest with a smile.

Skewered with carved sticks and cut with a thick rolling knife, this mutton kebab embodied the natural grassland. The reddish-brown meat that was gleaming with oil was emitting a fragrance that would make one salivate.

“I want a skewer,” Amy said with a raise of her hand as she looked at the roast mutton on the tray and swallowed her saliva.

“It looks yummy.” Anna swallowed while also staring at the mutton.

“Here, have one each. There’s definitely enough to go around.” Mag gave the skewers out with a smile. This big fat roasted sheep was enough to make 12 skewers. The meat was cut thickly, so each skewer was almost the size of a sheep leg.

“Be careful, it’s hot. Blow on it before eating,” Mag reminded Amy and Anna.

“Mm-hmm,” Amy replied while opening her mouth wide to land a bite on the meat.

“Mm…” Amy’s eyes lit up instantly. Her little mouth chewed happily as though she was a nibbling rabbit. Her eyes had already formed the shape of a crescent as she smiled in bliss. This made one have an even higher expectation of the roast mutton.

Amy would always be very generous with her compliments toward all food. No matter how hard a biscuit could be, she could still nibble on it like a little squirrel, making one believe that it was very delicious.

However, when she put on that expression, it would be only because she had tasted something that was truly delicious, and that could be trusted.

Mag blew on the first piece of mutton before opening his mouth wide to bite on it.

The surface of the mutton was slightly charred. It was very juicy, and did not contain any stench that could be found in mutton. Instead, there was a strong and fresh sheep’s milk’s smell.

The savory taste was merely a complement to the delicious roast mutton, giving it another layer of difference.

Mag closed his eyes, and could almost see the plump blue sheep taking a stroll among the blue grass, and as the wind blew, it was as though he could smell the fresh grass.

The mouthful of mutton tasted better the more he chewed. It was so enjoyable he almost chewed on his tongue.

“This roast mutton is superb!” Mag opened his eyes and gave Eddie a thumbs-up. He admitted that this was the best roast mutton he had ever tried.

“This mutton is delicious,” Miya said with her mouth full.

“As a strong supporter of beef kebab, I have to admit that this roast mutton kebab is pretty good,” Babla said with a nod. After that, she turned her head to the side to take a big bite of the mutton and chewed happily. Meanwhile, she started seriously considering if she should switch to team roast mutton.

Everyone expressed their heartfelt praises. No one knew that the food in the grassland of the far northwestern area could be so delicious.

“Ding! The host has made a heartfelt compliment for the food made by others in this world for the first time, and triggered the completion of a hidden mission. The mission’s reward is the recipe for mutton kebab!” Just then, the system’s voice rang in Mag’s head.

“What?” Mag was stunned as he looked at the glowing experience bag that appeared in his head.

“Is this a fake recipe?” Mag asked. When would the system be so nice to exchange a recipe for a compliment?

“Please do not question the system’s professionalism!” the system said strictly. “Praising others is a type of good quality. As a candidate for the God of Cookery, you must learn how to be humble. Praising and acknowledging the good of others would allow yourself a larger room for improvement and growth.”

“Alright. I’ll accept it then.” Mag raised his brow. There’s no reason to reject a mutton kebab recipe that was given to him. This was a big trump card in the world of roasted food. It was great that he could have the recipe.

“It’s great that all of you like it.” Eddie was bursting with joy as he heard the praises from everyone. He became even quicker in flipping the skewers of mutton.

One skewer of mutton had around a quarter of a kilogram of meat, so just a skewer made everyone feel a little full.

However, no one would complain about having a few more skewers of food with such exotic flavor.

Everyone gathered by the fire as they warmed themselves, and enjoyed the roast mutton and self-made sheep’s milk wine. As the shepherds danced and sang, the atmosphere livened up.

Shirley borrowed a horse from the shepherds, and brought Anna with her.

Amy went to look for a sheep, and threw Ugly Duckling on it. After that, she climbed up on the sheep, and rode it to chase after Shirley and Anna.

Yabemiya and the rest had gone elsewhere to take a stroll and play around. It was rare to have such good weather and environment, and the casual chatting and laughter made everyone increasingly familiar with each other.

Mag did not tag along. Instead, he picked up a random piece of dry wood, and sat by the fire to watch Eddie and Alfonso roast the goat.

“Grandpa, have you gone to the south when you were young?” Mag asked casually as he watched Eddie turn the goat.

“Yes. When I was young, I went out to explore for a few decades. The furthest I’ve been was to Chaos City. I stayed there for three years, and started missing home, so I came back.” Eddie nodded. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously as he reminisced about the past.

Alfonso sized Mag up carefully with a little anticipation. His grandpa had taught him the common tongue before. Although he was not fluent in it, he could understand Mag. He loved to hear everything about the grassland, and also hoped that one day, he could leave the grassland to take a look at the south just like his grandpa.
