“So this is your reason.” Mag looked at Rena, feeling rather surprised. He suddenly felt guilty as he looked at the maiden who was trying to be brave and stop her tears from falling.
What shocked him to the core was that phrase “respectful toward food.”
Maybe after his birth, Mr. Yuan Longping1 had been keeping them very well-fed, and he’d never had to worry about food and money.
After coming to this world, the test field for the God of Cookery always had unlimited ingredients, and the System would always top up the refrigerator anyti. Hence, he’d never had the concept that ingredients didn’t always co easy.
In his eyes, he didn’t care how the System handled the rest of the Ironhide Bull after he had the loins cut up for steaks and its chucks used for kebabs.
He also never had to worry if the at of the 5th-tier Kimball Boar was discarded after its bones were used to boil the broth.
Yes. He had treated the ingredients as consumables that he could squander, and threw those dishes with the slightest flaws into the waste bin without any considerations.
Even though he’d begun to feel passionate and expectant about cooking, he still wasn’t respectful enough toward food.
And in this world, many people were still struggling to feed themselves.
Mag was reminded of Jessica and that group of children, and of Amy before he ca to this world.
He rembered how Amy was once holding the hard as rock pancake that only cost one copper coin and eating happily.
Those children understood the preciousness of food more than he did. They, like Rena, were very respectful toward food.
He, who had never been through food scarcity, didn’t have the right to refute the care and respect that others had for food, be it for his ridiculous insistence or so-called principles.
“My apologies. I think I am wrong.” Mag looked at Rena apologetically.
“I... I didn’t an it that way. How could you be wrong? I shouldn’t have said all that...” Rena panicked as she realized her words were a little agitated. She had refuted her boss directly on her first day of work, and even caused the boss to apologize. Was she going to lose her job because of this incident?
“No. You were right. As a chef, we should have a certain level of respect for our food.” Mag shook his head, and then smiled at Rena. “As for this pot of soup, if you don’t mind, please bring it back to share with your mother. It’s the soup made by her daughter on her first day of work. I think Auntie is going to like it.”
“Can I really do that?” Rena was looking at Mag, whose eyes were so clear and his warm smile was so comforting.
“Of course.” Mag went over and retrieved that pot of soup from Rena. He put it back onto the stove again and turned on the fire to continue simring it. Then, he said, “However, we still have to practice. The hot pot broth that we ourselves would be having tonight has to depend on you now.”
“Boss...” The tears that were gathering in Rena’s eyes finally fell out. She turned aside and quickly wiped the tears away before turning around to nod at Mag, and walked over to the chopping table again. She picked up the boning knife, and removed the at on the bone very carefully.
“Saving is a good thing too.” Mag smiled as he looked at Rena’s serious mannerism. He didn’t feel terrible even when his principles were overthrown. Instead, he had gained a new perspective. His point of view and thinking for this world were still rather narrow.
Mag nodded with satisfaction as he watched while Rena skimd the scum from the boiling broth and then covered the cover and simred it. “There is a great improvent this ti. However, there are so techniques you can try when you are handling the at attached to the bones...”
Only using an afternoon’s ti, Rena had already successfully fulfilled the requirents on how to concoct a broth for a hot pot.
This made Mag, who was tortured in the test field for the God of Cookery, very envious. Talent, this thing, it was really...
Damn!
“The dinner service starts from 5pm. You may go ho to have your dinner with Auntie. Bring these ingredients back and have hot pot tonight.” Mag passed a al box and the packed up broth to Rena.
“I will only need the soup. I cannot take the ingredients.” Rena quickly waved her hands and only accepted the broth.
“We are also having hot pot for dinner tonight, and your share has been put aside.” Mag pointed at that red soup simring in the pot.
Rena bowed deeply to Mag, and gratefully said, “Thank you, Boss.”
“Go now. You still need to co to the restaurant later,” Mag said smilingly.
“Mm-hm.” Rena took the al box and bade goodbye to the rest. She walked to the door happily, and she couldn’t wait to let her mother try the broth she concocted for the hot pot.
She said to her mother that she would cook a hot pot al for her one day last night, but she didn’t expect the day would co so soon.
“Seems like you like her very much,” Irina, who went out in the afternoon, said to Mag smilingly.
“An excellent disciple. This is called treasuring talents,” Mag explained. He had already confird that Rena would be able to take over the designated hot pot area soon. He had always been looking for such a genius.
“I want to go on a trip to the Boundless Sea Realm,” Irina said in a volu that only the two of them could hear as she went into the kitchen.
“Hmm?” Mag looked at Irina, stunned.
“I intend to go kill so demons. Aren’t so of those fellows from three years ago still alive?” Irina said calmly.
“When are you leaving?”
“I’ll set off after I settled the Night Elves.”
Mag looked at Irina. He knew she wouldn’t waver after she made up her mind. Moreover, if his power had been stronger, he also wanted to kill those bastards who were still alive.
“Beep, beep, beep! Alarm!
“A serious leak incident happened at the seawater lobster rearing base, and 300,000 lobsters have escaped from the base. The nettings at the rearing base were destroyed by the corrosion and couldn’t restore themselves. The number of escaping lobsters is increasing steadily! Because they don’t have natural enemies in that area, serious damage could be done to the local ecosystem!
“Ergency Mission: could the host please proceed to the lobster rearing base at the Boundless Sea Realm to remove the source of the corrosion, repair the base’s nettings, and catch the runaway lobsters!
Mission reward: the na of ‘Lobster Hunter’ and 0.5 strength! Punishnt for mission failure: strength returns to zero!”
Just then, the system sounded in Mag’s head urgently.
“Hmm?” Mag was taken aback. This mission was too f*cking extraordinary?
“System, you are asking to catch 300,000 lobsters? Is there sothing wrong with your brain? Why don’t you just go to the heavens!” Mag couldn’t help but complain.
