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

Chapter 1321: Famous Traditional Dish “Rocks Tossed With Sand”

“Really!?”

Justin, who was already holding a big bowl to accept his share of tonight’s turtle stew, jumped up instantly, and looked at the bright red grilled crayfish that Mag was holding in surprise.

Ivan’s eyes lit up too, but after looking at Gemina, he forced himself to remain crouching. However, his gaze was fixed on that crayfish.

“Oh, I see. Thank you so much. This kid of mine is just too greedy.” Gemina took the crayfish that Mag passed to her with a smile, and continued, “My turtle stew is just done too. Wait a minute, I’ll get you all a bowl each.”This chapter is updatᴇd by ɴovelFɪre.net

Mag threw a glance at the giant turtle that was floating belly-up in the soup pot. He couldn’t even see any spices, and it was such a horrible scene, so he swiftly waved his hands, and smilingly said, “It’s fine, really. You guys are just getting started, and we’re almost done.”

“No can do. My turtle stew is the best in my tribe. You all got to try it,” Gemina said as she pulled up that giant turtle, and prepared to tear its leg off.

“In this case, please just give us a bowl of soup. Our dinner’s a little dry, it would be nice to have a bowl of soup,” Mag quickly replied. They could forget about the turtle meat.

“I’ll get you a bowl now.” Ivan stood up, scooped a big bowl of soup, and passed it to Mag.

“Thank you. You guys enjoy your meal.” Mag quickly made his way back with the big bowl of soup.

“This is?” Irina stared questionably at the big bowl that Mag came back with.

“Friendly neighbors.” Mag shrugged. The turtle stew was very thick and fresh, but it had a fishy stench at the same time. Most probably it wasn’t processed properly while it was letting off the blood. Moreover, no spices were added to remove the stench. This pot of good soup was wasted.

However, it was their neighbor’s goodwill, after all, and Mag had also sensed Gemina’s confidence and the strong desire to challenge him. Hence, he took out three small bowls, and scooped out a small bowl of soup for each one of them.

“Let’s try it.” Mag tried a spoonful of it. The soup was very fresh and thick. Even though only a handful of salt was added in, the turtle still managed to give the soup layers of different tastes. However, the fishy taste was still present. Although it wasn’t so fishy that put people off, to Mag, this was obviously a soup he wouldn’t drink twice. So, he put down his spoon.

“It’s quite nice. With the fish, it tastes even better.” But Amy was enjoying the soup together with the grilled fish very much.

Irina shifted the bowl aside immediately after giving it a sniff. After having a mouthful of crayfish, she commented, “The rock trolls’ culinary standard is indeed as rumored. However, compared to their famous traditional dish ‘Rocks Tossed with Sand’, she could be considered as their tribe’s culinary genius since she’s able to come up with this.”

“There’s a famous dish like that?” Mag was speechless. He thought that “Starry sky” was already the masterpiece of dark cuisine.

“‘Mudslide Feast’, ‘All Rocks Feast’, ‘Braised Stones’… They’ve got countless masterpieces. The only thing is, normal people are not used to eating them.” Irina nodded.

“What a tough race.” Mag was filled with deep esteem. A race that could develop so many different styles of eating dirt had to have a place in this world.

“Their race is going to be extinct soon because a very high proportion of the rock trolls has indigestion due to eating stones or chokes to death.” Irina pursed her lips.

“…” Mag.

On the other side, Justin placed the crayfish onto the stone table. After gulping a few times, he rubbed his hands and prepared to dig into this enticing little fellow. This was the first time he had ever seen a dish with such a marvelous aroma.

Dang!

A big bowl of turtle stew was placed in front of him, and the dead turtle was staring at him with its open eyes.

“This is the delicious turtle stew that your loving mother came home and cooked for you after a long and tiring day, and this is a prawn that is made by some other family’s man offhandedly. So, which one will you choose?” Gemina said to Justin lovingly.

Justin extended his trembling hand and pointed at the crayfish with teary eyes. “I choose him.”

“Eat sh*t, you cursed child!” Gemina pressed Justin’s face into the table, and then turned her icy glare at Ivan.

Ivan swiftly held up the big bowl in front of him, and took a big bite of the turtle’s leg. After chewing and swallowing the bones and meat of the leg, he smiled and nodded. “Today’s turtle stew is so scrumptious.”

“Take your time. There’s plenty of it in the pot.” A smile finally appeared on Gemina’s face. She tore another turtle’s leg off and gave it to Ivan.

“Dear, you should have some too. You had a hard day.” Ivan quickly buttered her up as he scooped a bowl of turtle soup, tore off a big piece of meat, and placed it in her bowl.

Justin, whose face was a little swollen, propped his hands on the table before pulling his face out of it. He gave Ivan a disdainful look before peeking at Gemina cautiously. He picked up the big bowl of stew, and finished the soup in a few gulps before stuffing that turtle’s head and meat into his mouth. He deftly chewed and swallowed, and then said, “So, can I eat that now?”

“Go ahead. You will only understand how delicious my turtle stew is after you eat the food made by someone else,” Gemina said confidently with a relaxed expression.

Ivan, too, put down the bowl in his hand, and swallowed his saliva as he stared at that crayfish.

“That’s great.” Justin’s eyes brightened as he reached out to twist off a big pincer, and placed it under his nose for a sniff. Even the pincer was giving that amazing aroma.

Crunch. The hard teeth shattered the shell instantly. The crunchy texture was even more marvelous than the hard stones. What was even more special was that within that crunchy crayfish’s shell, there was the supple and soft crayfish meat. The freshness of the crayfish meat blossomed instantaneously as if countless fireworks were exploding on his taste buds. That made Justin smile blossomed like a flower.

“Oh my heavens! How can there possibly be such delicious food in this world! I-i-it’s incredible!!!”

Justin already had no idea how to describe this scrumptiousness, because he had never tasted any food that was close to this delicious taste. He only had turtle stew in his everyday menu.

“Is it really that nice? You’re lying, right, chap?” Ivan twisted the pincer off with a disbelief expression, and then crushed it in his mouth.

“Wah!”

Ivan stood up in a flash. The crunchy shell was crushed by him easily. The exquisite taste made him unable to control his expression and body. This had totally gone beyond his imagination.

In his mind, a giant turtle was swimming leisurely, and suddenly a giant pincer fell from the sky and snapped that giant turtle into two before a red giant crayfish appeared slowly and took over the whole sea territory.
