Chapter 982 - A Huge Mountain Between

“Fiery Pig? That’s a 5th-tier magic beast! And it’s only found on the Red Dragon Island and nowhere else!”“Oh my! If I remember correctly, the red dragons love to eat Fiery Pig, right? How does Boss Mag do it?”

“Those giant dragons who came to make trouble and were crushed were red dragons, right?”

The customers suddenly lost their cool after they heard Yabemiya.

Surprise also appeared on Avis’s face. This red braised pork, which was priced at 800 copper coins, actually used a 5th-tier magic beast as the main ingredient. Even the roast pig at Reid Restaurant only used the domesticated 1st-tier black mountain pig. For them to use the 5th-tier magic beast, a VIP customer would have to make a reservation before they would purchase and cook it.

“Pork… Then, I shall have a helping of red braised pork and a helping of pepper steak. Please serve them in the reverse order.” Avis closed the menu. This review was going to be done anonymously. If he ordered too much and wasn’t able to finish, it would be very obvious.

Besides, he already estimated that he wouldn’t be able to finish these two dishes.

“Sure, please wait for a moment.” Yabemiya nodded and proceeded to the next customer.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Avis was also observing the restaurant. This Mamy Restaurant, which was capable of accommodating over 100 people of different species, was extraordinarily quiet when compared to normal restaurants.

Even the dwarves and orcs, who were famous for their loud voices, were also speaking gently in the restaurant. That was quite a sight.

Dishes and dishes were sent out of the kitchen. Avis gazed toward the kitchen. Although separation was done for the kitchen, it wasn’t complete. Instead, it was separated by a huge crystal wall. The customers outside could see all the actions going on in the kitchen.

This was something Avis had never seen before. To a chef, his culinary skills were his life. They even would keep some of their skills from their disciples so nobody would know all of their culinary skills.

However, Mag had opened up his kitchen, which meant showing the entire cooking process to his customers.

He was so confident. Wasn’t he afraid that people could steal his techniques? Avis thought curiously, and couldn’t help staring at Mag’s back.

Three stoves, a grill, a big pot, two ovens… He was just like a spinning top that kept moving in between the kitchenware. He was flipping the fried rice on the stove, the beef kebabs were sizzling on the grill, the baked fish was slowly turning golden brown in the oven. Everything seemed so smooth, and there wasn’t any hint of busyness.

This is an expert. Avis stared for a long time before he praised Mag in his heart.

He was a chef, so he understood how important focus was to a chef.

In the back kitchen of Reid Restaurant, there were over 100 chefs and apprentices who all had their specific jobs so they could serve the food to 1000 customers.

But over here, Mag had to prepare food for 300-400 customers alone. That was simply unbelievable!

He wouldn’t have believed it if he hadn’t seen it for himself.

But will the food cooked in this manner be delicious? Avis had some doubts in his heart. Everything has its pros and cons. Something must be given up when they choose to speed up. That’s for sure.

“Your red braised pork. Please enjoy it.” Yabemiya placed a helping of red braised pork and a bowl of rice in front of Avis.

“This aroma!” Avis, who was staring at Mag, snapped his attention back. He looked at the red braised pork in front of him in disbelief. This rich aroma was even more impactful than the roast pig he made.

The block of meat with layers of fat and lean meat was shiny red. It didn’t look greasy at all. Instead, it looked very enticing.

The white pork meat usually seems unappetizing, especially the fatty part and the skin which look very greasy, but he has used spices and seasonings to make the pork’s color look enticing. This is similar to roast pig, but the roast pig’s color isn’t as good as this. Color: five stars!

I wonder what spices did he use to cook this? It actually made the pork give off such enticing aroma that even surpassed the roast pig. Aroma: five stars!

The color and aroma are both excellent. I wonder what it tastes like? Avis thought before he picked a piece of red braised pork and put it in his mouth.

After biting gently with his teeth, Avis’s eyes lit up instantly.

The skin and fatty meat were definitely the main focus here. The soft and chewy skin was just of the right texture, and the fatty meat melted away with just a gentle bite. The sweet and soft taste was simply indescribable, and it made Avis raise his eyebrows.

Also, the lean meat was the perfect complement. It was lean but not dry at all.

This mouthful was fatty but not greasy, sweet but not sticky, and rich but not salty. It was simply a delicacy out of this world!

After swallowing that piece of red braised pork, Avis only felt that his taste buds were still cheering for it. The long-lost satisfaction and anticipation made him amazed.

He had once believed that he had already reached the pinnacle of cooking pork. Even if there were better chefs than him, they could never surpass him at cooking pork. Nobody could make a tastier roast pig than him.

But now, after tasting this red braised pork, his thinking was totally subverted.

He had never heard anyone could cook pork like this!

Although it was not roasted, the red braised pork had exceeded his expectations and imagination in the aspects of spice configurations, cooking techniques, and innovation. It blew him away.

Even though his pride after roasting pigs for 50 years made him unwilling to accept his failure, as a true chef, he chose to follow his heart.

The taste and texture are equally great! Five stars! Avis thought as he stared at the bowl of red braised pork in front of him. Then he looked at Mag, who was working hard in the kitchen, and a deep sense of respect began to rise in his heart.

He was just one person doing everything by himself and cooking for so many customers, yet he produced such an amazing delicacy. Furthermore, this was just a new released item and a completely innovative pork cooking method.

A chef like him deserved to receive the court banquet’s best award. Truly deserving!

Avis ate a mouthful of rice. The soft and fluffy rice covered over the tiny bit of greasiness in the red braised pork, and made it even more scrumptious. A mouthful of red braised pork with a mouthful of rice… It was simply impossible to stop.

The distance between Beate and him is a huge mountain. One that even I can’t overcome. 10 minutes later, Avis stared at the empty bowls in front and sighed in his heart.
