Chapter 2005: Of Course, I Will Try It

Amy eventually let the boss of the darts stall off. It wasn’t because the game was too difficult, but because the so-called exquisite prizes were not attractive to Amy. The result would have been different if the prizes had been switched to geese.

Amy and Annie played a lot of games before stopping in front of a snack street. They turned around to ask Mag, “It’s so fun here, but I’m a little hungry now, so where do we go for lunch?”

“Let’s try out Rodu’s local snacks,” Mag smilingly said. Irina had kept the things that they bought and the two fat geese kept at a shop temporarily. His hands were now free, and he wanted to try the famous Rodu’s local snacks too.

Such squares whose target customers were the locals would have more delicious local snacks than those so-called foodie streets. This was Mag’s years of experience.

Vanessa sat in the horse-drawn carriage, and asked, “Uncle Abraham, did something happen recently? Why do I feel that Father doesn’t seem to be very happy?”

“Children shouldn’t bother with such matters. What’s the most important now is where we will go for lunch. I heard that a nice beef restaurant has opened in Tuck Square recently. I’ll bring you there for lunch.” Abraham changed the conversation topic smilingly.

He had just returned to Rodu yesterday, and met the king in the palace today, so he brought Vanessa out for a fun trip. This little chowhound hadn’t left the palace for quite some time too.

“Chaos City is so nice. Why are you back here? Isn’t Mamy Restaurant nice?” Vanessa couldn’t fathom it.

“Boss Mag brought Little Boss out for a vacation, and Mamy Restaurant was closed for a month.” Abraham sighed lightly. “Did you think I really wanted to come back? Mamy Restaurant is too delicious.”

“Something like that happened?” Vanessa was a little shocked to hear that too, but she soon smiled, and said, “That makes sense too. Boss Mag dotes on Little Boss the most. Of course he would bring her out during winter break.”

“So, I gave myself a winter break too, and came back for some time first.” Abraham nodded.

“Then, you must bring me along when the restaurant reopens. I want to eat hot pot, red braised pork, and spicy grilled fish too…” Vanessa looked at Abraham piteously.

“Regarding this, we’ll have to see if your father will give you the permission. After all, don’t we need to have our parents’ permission for such matters?” Abraham smiled.

“My life sucks.” Vanessa sighed and looked out of the window with a wistful gaze. Cold wind blew against her face.

Abraham smilingly replied, “Alright. I’ll go talk to His Majesty when the time comes. I’ll bring you along if he agrees.”

Vanessa immediately revealed a happy smile and nodded. “Teehee. I knew Uncle Abraham was the best.”

The horse-drawn carriage stopped, and Lola opened the carriage’s door. “Princess, Lord Duke, we have arrived at Iss Beef Restaurant.”

The two of them got off the horse-drawn carriage. This was a big restaurant that was opened at the square’s entrance. It was located in a three-story building, which was completely occupied by this beef restaurant.

“Let’s go. I’ve already made a reservation.” Abraham led the way to the beef restaurant.

The beef restaurant’s boss already received the news of their arrival as soon as they reached the door, and came to welcome them with a fawning smile. He led Abraham and Vanessa into the restaurant and straight to the exquisite private room on the second floor.

Amy held a beef bone, surprised, and commented, “Were those Big Sister Vanessa and the grandpa who has tired the fat eagle out who have just went upstairs?”

“Yes, but we have to pretend not to know anyone on this trip. Hence, we don’t know who they are,” Mag smilingly said. He had also noticed Abraham and Vanessa going upstairs.

They had tried all the snacks on the snacks street, but the little one wasn’t full, so they came to this newly opened beef restaurant under someone’s recommendation.

“Oh, alright.” Amy nodded thoughtfully, and continued eating her beef soup.

The taste at this beef restaurant was actually rather ordinary—at least it was to Mag. However, judging from the reviews of the surrounding customers, a beef restaurant of such standards could already survive in Rodu.

Amy gulped down the beef soup, and looked up at Mag. “May I have another bowl of soup, please?”

“Of course, you may.” Mag got the service staff over with a smile, and got another bowl of soup for Amy.

After lunch, the family spent the afternoon having fun in the square again.

Irina looked at Annie and Amy, who were sitting on the swing in the corner of the square with a lollipop each, and smilingly said, “The two children are really having fun.”

Mag looked at her, and asked, “Are you happy?”

Irina turned to look at him. She suddenly pinched his face, and a smile blossomed on that exquisite face. “I’m happy.”

“I’m happy too,” Mag said, likewise with a smile.

As long as they were with the people they loved, they would also feel happy living simply in a small square.

This was such an amazing experience.

In his previous life, no matter how much money he had had, and how many people he had had by his side, he had still felt out of place in that world. He hadn’t felt happy for a long time.

However, although he was also rich now, as long as his loved ones were with him, he felt happy at any time.

After returning to the tavern that night, Irina directed a question at Mag, who was doing preparation work in the kitchen. “What kind of alcoholic drinks are you selling tonight? Beer?”

“No. We’re selling two new types of liquors, Maotai and whiskey. The beer isn’t suitable to be sold in the tavern. It will arouse suspicion easily,” Mag answered in the kitchen.

“Maotai? Whiskey?” Irina looked confused. She had never heard of these two liquors before.

“They’re the new liquors that I made. I have intended to introduce them in the restaurant, but I think they’re just nice for Saipan Tavern now,” Mag explained as he poked his head out. He also pointed at the two rows of small white porcelain wine urns displayed in the corner of the wine cabinet. “That is the Maotai. You can try it later at dinner if you are interested.”

“Of course, I will try it. I have never gotten drunk.” Irina waved her hands, and a small white porcelain wine urn landed in her hand.

This little wine urn was round with a smooth surface. Both its design and material looked very exquisite.

The wine urn’s opening was sealed with a red cloth and tied with a red string. It looked rather interesting.

Irina reached out to remove the string and cloth. There was a wooden cork underneath. The faint liquor aroma could already be smelled.

“This aroma… is rather special?!” Irina’s nose twitched, and her eyes lit up.

Although she wasn’t an alcoholic drinks lover, Irina could hold her drinks very well. Both of them had tried all kinds of drinks throughout the Norland Continent during their travels in the early years.

This liquor’s aroma was very unique. It was even more fragrant than rum. She felt a little intoxicated just smelling it.

Without any hesitation, Irina removed the cork.
