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

Chapter 2013: So Stupid…

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Irina brought the two children out to shop, while Mag went to a few places under the excuse of buying food for them.

Rodu was not an unfamiliar city in Alex’s memory.

Andre is rather nice to his subordinates and courtiers. Mag had a bag of mung bean pancakes in his hand. He looked out at the great general’s mansion not far away.

Great General Blum was currently the only one with a rank lower than Grand Marshal Dominic in the military. Although he was barely a 7th-tier, he was a general with wits and brains.

In war, a general’s role was not to be a vanguard. The reason Blum could rise up the ranks and be second to Dominic was that he was a sly fox.

There were already troops surrounding the general’s mansion, with a soldier every 10 steps. The general mansions in Rodu had become the key target of protection due to the murder cases in the military.

Great General Blum had been traveling in and out of the palace recently. He always had 10th-tier powerhouses to protect him, whether he was on the way to court or at home.

Mag was rather familiar with Blum. After all, when Alex was in his prime, Blum was only a lowly soldier in the military.

And during the assassination on that rainy night, of the powerhouses from the military that Mag saw, the people participating in the ambush were under Blum.

He was a man supporting Sean and also one of the key people participating in getting rid of Alex back then.

All of a sudden, a horse-drawn carriage came out of the main door. A corner of the carriage’s curtain was lifted up. A face with a goatee flashed past before Mag.

Tens of knights surrounded the horse-drawn carriage. Among them, the leader was a 10th-tier knight. There were other 9th-tier and 8th-tier knights as well.

Mag placed the other half of the remaining mung bean pancake into his mouth, and went around the general mansion leisurely while carrying his bag of pancakes. After that, he returned to the food street to look for Irina and the two children.

“A 10th-tier, three 9th-tiers, and more than 300 guards inside and out of the mansion. There are no blind spots in the patrol routes,” Mag told Irina softly as he passed the two mung bean pancakes to the kids.

“Tonight?” Irina looked at Mag.

“Tonight.” Mag nodded.

“Alright.” Irina took a mung bean pancake as well.

“This mung bean… is stuck between my teeth.” Amy spat out a mung bean. She looked up at Mag with frustration, and asked, “Father, isn’t there a mung bean cake with soft mung beans?”

“Pah…” Irina also spat out half a mung bean. She looked at the remaining half of the pancake in her hand, and threw it into the trash can at the side without hesitation.

Mag had no idea how the shop owner managed to make the mung beans in the mung bean pancake so hard. It was indeed the worst experience to bite into a hard mung bean in a soft pastry.

“Ding! New mission, A Daughter’s Request: please upgrade the mung bean pancake in this world to produce a perfect mung bean pancake! Mission reward: Amateur Patissier title and a mysterious gift pack! Mission failure: eat 50 kg of raw mung beans!

“Mung bean recipe has been issued. The host has to explore and improve the recipe!”

Just then, the system’s voice rang in Mag’s head.

“Huh?” Mag raised his brow. He saw the simple recipe that appeared in his mind. This system’s mission was rather… abnormal.

However, Amy’s expectant gaze made Mag take this mission without any hesitation.

Of course, he did not give in because of the punishment of eating 50 kg of raw mung beans.

“Since the ones outside are bad, why don’t we buy some mung beans back home and try to make it on our own?” Mag suggested. They were almost done shopping around this street.

“Okay, okay. Let’s make mung bean cake at home on our own.” Amy nodded her little head, and raised both hands in agreement.

Mag bought a large bag of mung beans, together with the other ingredients needed for making mung bean cake home.

The recipe for the mung bean cake was very simple. Its core was to remove the skin of the mung beans, soak them in water, and squash them into mung bean paste before adding honey, sugar, and other ingredients. After that, place the mixture into a mold, and the mung bean cake would be done.

Mag checked the recipe, and knew that the problem with the mung bean cake he bought had to be related to the process of squashing the beans. The owner had surely been careless with squashing the beans, so some of them were not squashed, and there were many mung bean skins in the pastry on top of that. That also made the texture of the pastry bad.

“Do you know how to make it?” Irina asked curiously when Mag placed the bag of mung beans down.

“A little, roughly.” Mag grabbed a handful of mung beans. The mung beans on the Norland Continent were slightly larger, around the size of soybeans. Each bean was round and smooth.

“Wow, this is fun. Can we take some to play?” Amy also found these ground mung beans interesting. She put her hands in the bag, and grabbed around, but could only grab five to six beans in a handful.

“Sure. As long as you don’t throw it around, you can play with it however you like.” Mag took out a box, and filled it with mung beans for Amy.

“Hehe. Thank you, Father.” Amy left with the box, and sat at the staircase. She placed the box by her side, and grabbed a handful of mung beans. Amy called out to Ugly Duckling, saying, “Ugly Duckling, you have to bring it back.”

“Meow~” Ugly Duckling answered lazily, as though it was not very interested.

“Grrrrr~”

Amy threw out the mung bean in her hand, and the round bean rolled around on the floor.

Ugly Duckling, which was lying around lazily, quickly pricked up its ears, and its gaze focused on the rolling mung bean immediately.

Ugly duckling crouched immediately, and slowly raised its hind legs. It wiggled its tail, and pounced right over.

Boom…

Ugly Duckling crashed right into the leg of a chair…

“Hahaha… so stupid…” Amy and Annie were rolling on the floor, laughing.

“Meow~” Ugly Duckling got up, shook its head, and called out woefully.

“Here it comes again,” Amy hinted again before throwing out another mung bean.

This time, Ugly Duckling observed carefully, and after making sure that there was no chair in the way, it pounced over happily, covering the rolling mung bean with its paws, and meowing delightedly.

“Big Sister Annie, come and play too.” Amy placed a mung bean in Annie’s hand, and threw two mung beans out.

This made Ugly Duckling busy all of a sudden.

Mag looked at the three little fellows who could have so much fun with mung beans, and smiled as he shook his head. He took out a big pot, and filled half of it with mung beans.. After that, he added water into the pot to soak the beans.
