Even though Ma Lu had cleared up the misunderstanding through explanation, the four witches still weren't in the mood to go out for a al.
They returned to the Witch's Ho after the baptism had eliminated their Sin Value.
As for Ma Lu, there was nothing much for him to do either; he didn't even need to make a report, as Li Wei would personally report all the details of this operation to the Church.
Moreover, Li Wei had promised Ma Lu that once the Church confird the death of the shrike, in addition to the title of Master, a large bonus would be given.
That's the benefit of having connections at the top.
Seeing that he still had three hours remaining on the countdown of his Traveler's Bracelet, Ma Lu didn't feel like going back to his apartnt to sleep so early, so he decided to take a stroll around the city.
From his first glimpse of it from the sky, Ma Lu's impression of this place was its solemnity and cleanliness.
Now, walking through the city, that feeling was even stronger; he could hardly see any trash on the ground, every place was spotless, and everyone he t was very polite.
However, after walking for a while, Ma Lu felt that the place was a bit too orderly and lacked vitality.
Soon enough, he encountered a group of children, probably around seven or eight years old, who followed him, calling him Sir Knight and asking for his autograph.
Ma Lu didn't sign for them, but he did lift a few kids onto his shoulders and took them for a walk down the street, which set off a round of excited screams as they kept reaching to touch the armor beneath them.
Exclaiming things like "Aweso, aweso!" and "I'm going to be a knight too and protect everyone!"
In return for the ride, they shared so interesting information with Ma Lu, including but not limited to, inexpensive and good restaurants in the city, fun attractions, and even an underground pub.
The Order Church doesn't allow its followers to drink alcohol, as they believe alcohol can cause people to lose their sense of reason and beco disordered, but even so, so can't resist the wonderful taste of that golden liquid.
So, so were secretly brewing alcohol, and small groups would gather in different places to drink together from ti to ti.
Ma Lu was quite interested in that underground pub, but sadly his current outfit ant that even if he could find the place, he wouldn't be able to get in; probably the owner would close the door before he even reached it.
Therefore, in the end, he just chose two attractions to visit and then went to a restaurant to try the local cuisine, giving himself so new inspiration for his own restaurant.
Unfortunately, even the most famous restaurant in the city couldn't match the quality of Old Wang's dishes.
Especially since the Church explicitly forbids the use of Energized Plants, it hampers the chefs from offering specialty ingredients of this dinsion, leaving them feeling like their hands were tied, which was really a pity.
Seeing that it was about ti, Ma Lu took the suspension train back to the apartnt, ending his journey to a different dinsion.
The first thing he did upon returning was to check on the Desktop Farm.
Last ti, during the BBQ party, Ma Lu used a large amount of ingredients, causing the at stock in the farm to drop sharply to 2800 pounds, but fortunately, it didn't affect subsequent breeding.
With the addition of the Beast Herding Frog, not only did the at grow back over the past five days, but it increased by 600 pounds, bringing the total weight to 4600 pounds.
Moreover, Ma Lu used ingredients like Link Hedgehogs and Self-Destructing Jumping Mice at the BBQ party, which are not convenient for cooking for the general public, so he used this opportunity to adjust the proportion of ingredients in the farm.
Restoring them to a healthy level.
In addition, with the increase in the number of Black-Breasted Chickens in the farm, Ma Lu could now also harvest eggs, about 40 a day.
Besides that, last week he brought back four Honey Lizards, and they have now started laying eggs, so Ma Lu also gathered so Honey Lizard eggs.
"This can substitute for syrup," he thought. Read exclusive content at empire
However, because of the small quantity, he didn't plan to sell it in the restaurant. He found a small box and stored it in the refrigerator of his rented apartnt, adding a little to his drink or beer each ti.
The taste was quite good.
The energized plants he had brought back before were growing on the farm, and it was also Ma Lu's first ti witnessing the reproduction of energized plants.
Unlike the animals on the farm, they didn't need to mate, and so could even split into a new individual all by themselves.
Others blood, pollinated, and fertilized like ordinary plants, eventually bearing fruit.
And once their fruit hit the ground, it could grow on its own without needing to take root and sprout.
Ma Lu observed them for several days but couldn't figure out from where these energized plants drew their nutrients.
Anyway, they retained so plant characteristics and could move around like animals, which was quite magical.
Currently, the energized plants on the farm were fewer in both variety and number compared to the animals, with a total weight of less than 1400 pounds when combined.
Fortunately, Ma Lu had been continuously exploring new dinsions lately, collecting more energized plants to enrich the variety. He also had a fair stockpile on hand. Furthermore, since the main consumption from the previous BBQ was mostly at, he wasn't particularly short on vegetables.
anwhile, Old Wang had not been idle. Aside from cooking normally in the restaurant, he had also taken ti to prepare so dried salted at and ham, the latter of which would not be ready to eat for at least a month.
But the dried salted at was almost ready after a week.
So Ma Lu had decided on the signature dish for the restaurant for that week—
—Salted Pork with Eggplant Casserole.
He chose the 5-star ingredient 'Ever Fresh Eggplant' as the main component, complented by Old Wang's secret dried salted pork. This dish's delicacy index reached a whopping five stars.
As the owner, Ma Lu tried a bowl himself first, paired it with rice, and ended up licking the plate clean.
The eggplant itself was fresh, tender, and spongy, and absorbed the sauces very well. The dried salted pork, compared to fresh at, was far superior in flavor, which perated into the eggplant along with the cooking sauces as it was stewed.
The combination was like a perfect match made in heaven, simply impeccable.
For another at dish, Ma Lu chose Hunter's Chicken.
This dish was a specialty of the Giant Curtain, and Ma Lu was quite amazed the first ti he tried it. It coincidentally appeared in Old Wang's cookbook, so he replicated it.
The last dish was still a soup, nad Healthy Mushroom Soup, using the mushrooms from the week before last that hadn't been used up.
The ingredients might have been a bit old, but fortunately, Ma Lu used the Collection Bag to store so perishable food items when he wasn't going out, utilizing its freshness-preserving function to achieve an effect similar to ti-stopping.
Therefore, the Universe Infinite Canteen had not yet wasted any ingredients.
Ma Lu finished writing the nu and opened the restaurant on ti. Soon after, a group of familiar faces poured in from outside.
More than half were regulars who knew about Ma Lu's habit of changing the nu every week, so as soon as he introduced new dishes, they imdiately ca to try them out.
