Chapter 1329: Spicy Crayfish-100 Copper Coins Each

It was simply too blissful to be able to eat the delicious garlic crayfish accompanied by the garlic bean vermicelli to her heart’s content.

Jane picked up the bowl, drank the very last drop of soup in it with happy tears in her eyes, and then burped with satisfaction.

“Sorry,” Jane said embarrassedly as she immediately put down the bowl and covered her mouth.

Irina lowered her chopsticks gracefully, and asked Jane, “What’s the matter with burping? Fairies got to fart too. Are you full, Goldihorn?”

While Mag was cooking, Irina and Amy were in a discussion, and they finally decided to give Jane a nickname.

“Mm-hm. I’m full.” Jane nodded and smiled shyly. She didn’t mind the nickname “Goldihorn”. Instead, she rather liked it.

Apart from her mother, no other demons had ever cared about her name, and would have never given her a charming nickname. “Goldihorn” sounded even cuter than Jane.

Furthermore, she could sense kindness and friendliness from Irina and Amy.

Ever since her mother passed away, she had been hiding every day. Every demon that she met could very possibly kill or violate her, but she could feel a sense of security here.

“Alright, lunch is over. I need to go prepare for the noon service.” Mag got up and prepared to clear the silverware.

“This would be my job.” Jane stood up instantly and cleared Mag’s bowls and silverware first before stacking the rest of the bowls together, and swept all the crayfish’s shells into the trash bin.

“Alright.” Mag retrieved his hands as he looked at Jane, who was fast and efficient. It seemed like she was even more suitable for this job than he had expected.

Since Jane was clearing the table, Mag went into the kitchen to carry a giant pot out of the empty space that was reserved in the center of the yard. For a new restaurant, using the aroma to attract the customers’ attention would be the simplest and fastest method.

Even though the Ayi Crayfish Restaurant wasn’t opened in the most prosperous area on Carapace Island, it was still next to a main street that many demons would pass by.

Many demons’ attention was attracted by the new house like this. However, they retrieved their gazes in boredom after they saw the protective amulet on the door. It was not an easy target with the Ten Kings Palace’s protective amulet.

“Uncle Hades, are you going to start cooking the crayfish?” Justin, who was crouching against the fence, widened his eyes as soon as he saw Mag came out.

“Yes. We are starting our business officially this noon.” Mag nodded and smiled. It seemed like this little rock troll was completely mesmerized by the scrumptiousness of the crayfish.

“Father, Mother. Come out now. Uncle Hades from next door is going to start his business soon. Let’s have crayfish for lunch today,” Justin shouted into the house.

Mag smiled as he turned back to process the crayfish. He had only planned to release the spicy crayfish at noon today. There wasn’t a stable stream of customers yet. It was a bother to do a few types, and he couldn’t ensure the crayfish could be eaten at the best timing if he cooked too many of them. Hence, he chose to do one flavor that was strong and impactful.

He scooped the crayfish out of the pond, and cleaned them under the running water to wash away the sand on their surface. Different from the crayfish that were reared in the ditches and fields, the crayfish reared by the system could already be considered as seafood, so he only needed to wash away the soil on its body.

The struggling crayfish were splashed into a daze by the running water. Right at that moment, the cleaver flashed across, and the perfect back-opening action was completed. Mag flicked his finger at the tails to devein the crayfish before tossing them into a big basin at the side. The entire process took less than three seconds.

“That’s an expert.”

Justin was staring at him with wide eyes at the fence. That cleaver moved so fast that he couldn’t even follow its actions with his eyes. That crayfish couldn’t even begin to struggle, and its back was already open while it was tossed into the basin. Within moments, the basin was already full of processed crayfish.

Justin pointed at Mag to Gemina, who just came out from the door, as he asked, “Mother, I want to learn that.”

“You want to learn everything that you see.” Gemina smacked him right away.

Ivan followed her out of the door. “It’s a good thing that the child wants to learn. It’s his future, we must give him a ch—”

“Are you trying to challenge me?” Gemina turned around to look at him.

“Ch-chicken, you’re so beautiful…” Ivan swayed his body, averted his gaze, and suddenly began humming.

Justin hugged his head and aggrievedly said, “Then I want to eat crayfish.”

“Let’s go. As their neighbors, it’s only natural that we give him our support as their first customers.” Gemina led the way and walked out of their yard.

“Alrighty.” Elation flashed across Justin’s face, and he swiftly caught up with her.

“Welcome, neighbors.” Mag smiled at the rock troll family as they walked through the door. Without any surprises, that grilled crayfish yesterday had achieved the effect of attracting a batch of customers to the restaurant.

“The restaurant looks fantastic. Are the tables and chairs custom-made?” Gemina looked around her, and her gaze landed on the black stone table and chairs. Carapace Island didn’t produce this kind of stone which looked simple and elegant.

“They’re simply ordinary stones.” Mag seated the family of three smilingly before asking, “Do you want to have some crayfish?”

“Mm-hmm.” Justin quickly nodded. He hadn’t eaten anything since morning in order to reserve his stomach for the crayfish at noon.

“Do you have the menu? We would like to see the menu,” Gemina asked instead of agreeing immediately.

“Currently, the restaurant will only be serving spicy crayfish and beer.” Mag turned the number tag on the table around, and the menu was on the back.

Spicy crayfish—100 copper coins each.

Beer (chilled)—50 copper coins a mug.

Gemina stared at the menu that had only two choices in a slight shock. The crayfish was actually sold as a whole, and it cost 100 copper coins each. And that so-called beer also cost 50 copper coins for a mug. Their pricing was way above the rest of the normal restaurants on Carapace Island.

It would only cost their family of three 100 copper coins to have a full meal of crabs, prawns, and fish at a small restaurant.

There was also a hint of shock on Ivan’s face. Even though the two of them could earn up to 10,000 copper coins a month from their jobs of pulling in the fishing nets at the fish farm, they had never had crayfish that cost 100 copper coins each and mugs of beer that cost 50 copper coins each.

Gemina retrieved her gaze, and said to Mag, “We will have three spicy crayfish then.”

“Alright. Please wait a minute. I still need to go get some tools,” Mag replied smilingly as he turned and walked into the restaurant.

Jane, who could only stand at the side and watch, quickly followed Mag in to see if she could help to carry anything.

“Why are they so expensive? Although the crayfish he made is indeed very delicious, if it costs 100 copper coins… not many demons would be willing to spend the money,” Ivan whispered to Gemina. However, he had been gulping his saliva many times secretly.

“If Justin’s change of shell was triggered by this crayfish, it could still be considered cheap even if it cost 10,000 copper coins each,” Gemina replied calmly.

“Dear, you’re ever so wise when it comes to important matters.” Ivan gave her a thumbs-up respectfully before going up to her. With a shy chuckle, he said, “I-I haven’t changed my shell for a long time too. If I changed my shell again, I would be a 4th-tier demon, and our family status would elevate. If it’s effective…”

“Then Justin will have a few more. His talent is better than yours.” Gemina threw Ivan a look.

“Mother, I love you!” Justin hugged Gemina with a blissful expression before making a funny face at Ivan smugly.

“I’m so lonely.” Ivan sighed desolately. What to do? He was already completely captivated by that one pincer yesterday.
