Chapter 2117 One Isn't Enough
"Huh?"
Mag and Amy turned their heads around at the same time, and looked at Irina with shock.
"It can't be eaten? There must be a lot of meat in such a big snail," Amy said regrettably, looking at the big snail in her hands.
"This can't be eaten?"
Mag had an awkward expression. He had just said that this was an edible snail, and now he was proven wrong by Irina.
Va
After all, Irina was an elf. She definitely knew more about these small animals than him.
Under the third tree. This should be the snail that the system mentioned. Unless… the system had cheated him of his money?
"You can test it for yourself," Irina said to Mag smilingly.
"There's no need for that."
Mag had no interest in snails in the first place. Furthermore, this one had a sour and corrosive texture, which was even worse. He already felt nauseous thinking about that taste.
"What a pity." Amy tossed that big snail out into the snow beyond the yard. She had seen the area that it crawled by earlier. The slime that it left behind had corroded the tree bark.
"Mother, what kind of snails can be eaten then?" Amy asked Irina curiously.
"There are over 10,000 kinds of snails in the Wind Forest, but most of them are not edible. Some of them are even poisonous. However, some are edible, and they taste rather nice after they are cooked."
Irina walked around the yard, and finally stopped under the third osmanthus tree. She crouched down, and picked up a little gray snail at the bottom of the trunk.
"There you are. This is a gray rock snail. Although it looks ordinary, it's actually full of nutrients. We simply need to knock off its shell, bite off its head, and it can be eaten right away."
"Wow, an edible snail! We found it!" Amy received that snail from Irina happily.
So it was hidden down there.
Mag finally realized that. The system didn't lie to him. It was he who thought that earlier snail was the target.
However…
Looking at that snail that was about the size of a coin, it was no bigger than a river snail.
"Wait a sec." Mag reached out to stop Amy, who was about to bite the head of that snail off.
As a father, he really couldn't stand by, and watch Amy eat a snail alive.
"Father, do you want to eat it too?" Amy looked up at Mag. After a moment of hesitation, she passed the snail to him with a smile. "You can have it, then."
Mag was touched by Amy's filial piety. However, he still rejected that slimy looking snail. He shook his head with a smile. "Although this snail can be eaten, we don't really have to eat it. Look at how lonely it is in this snowy environment. Let's put it back where it was."
Amy looked at that snail, and shook her head. "Look at how lonely it is. Why don't I eat it? It's warm in my tummy."
"Erm…"
Mag actually couldn't find a reason to reject her at that moment.
"Live snails don't taste nice. We elves only eat the live snails when we are too hungry and have no other choice." Irina removed that snail from Amy's hands, and put it back on the tree again.
Mag raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly. They indeed needed an authoritative mother.
Irina patted Amy's head, and said, "One isn't enough. I'll bring you to catch more when we return to the Wind Forest again, and we can eat to our hearts' content." "Fantastic!" Amy immediately nodded her head happily.
"Huh…"
Mag felt he was still wrong eventually. "Alright. Since we're all awake, let's have breakfast first," Mag told them before going back to the house.
Annie had already come downstairs with the new picture book that she had drawn overnight.
It was still the story of The Little Mermaid. The previous book was taken by Xi, so this child redrew it.
"Hmm. I didn't expect there was still space for improvement when the previous book was already so well-drawn." Mag flipped over it once, feeling rather shocked.
The content didn't change much, but the drawing style became more mature, and the details were getting more perfect. It resembled an intricate artwork.
Annie's talent in drawing and the advantage of the tentacle monster were perfectly displayed.
If it was another comic artist, she wouldn't be able to draw such a perfect picture book in a month, let alone overnight.
Annie smiled shyly. She didn't speak, but it was obvious that she was very happy.
After breakfast, Mag continued to process the escargots.
Irina stood at the side with a glass of water as she looked at the escargots in the basin in front of Mag, and curiously asked, "Are these the water snails?"
"No, these are escargots, not snails," Mag clarified seriously.
He wouldn't be able to suck it if they were snails.
"They look the same to me. They all have a shell and rings of swirls." Irina didn't disagree nor agree with Mag.
"But these are really not snails. Escargots taste fantastic when they are stir-fried with chili." Mag cut the last escargot before washing them with clean water a few times, making sure that all the dirty stuff was cleaned out.
The escargot were cut to their intestines. They were clean after washing with water a few times.
Only such escargots could be sucked with a peace of mind.
The cleaned escargots were placed in the refrigerator. It wasn't suitable to eat escargots in the morning, and he had to go out first. Before Mag could leave, there was someone knocking at the door.
Mag opened the door. It was the agent, Fitch. Fitch stood at the door, and smilingly said to Mag, "Hello, Mr. Hades. I hope I didn't disturb you by looking for you so early in the morning."
Ever since he had understood Mr. Hades' plans, his admiration for Mr. Hades was boundless. Furthermore, the customers who came to inquire for shops to rent were endless. They almost broke the agency's door.
Holding the general power of attorney of half of the shops on Romo Street, Fitch felt power in his grasp for the very first time.
Even his boss invited him to his house, but he had to reject him because he was too busy.
He was indeed too busy…
He had to bring people to look at the shops until midnight. He had already received more than 100 proposals, and many of them were famous shops in Rodu.
Obviously, under the influence of the twin stars Titan Tavern and Saipan Tavern, a new sophisticated commercial circle was in the midst of brewing.
And he was going to be a part of history, which made him excited.
Mag nodded slightly, and said to Fitch, "It's fine. I'm about to go out. What's the matter?"
Fitch quickly said, "Oh, it's like this. You asked me to audit those businesses that wanted to rent the shops for their backgrounds. I have already received 108 proposals, and many of them are good business. They have also given very good rental suggestions, so I want to discuss them with you to see if we can settle on some of them."
