Chapter 1149: A Century Egg That Is Not Bouncy Enough
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“A failed century egg.”
...
“An ordinary century egg.”
...
“A century egg that is not bouncy enough.”
Mag stared at the century egg on the plate that had an intricate pattern and three distinct colors after it was cut open. He raised his eyebrow, and said, “System, what the heck is not bouncy enough?”

“What authentic Lake Weishan Century Egg? It’s not bouncy at all. They might as well spend their time bouncing around and chase after Pikachu rather than make century egg.”]
“...” Mag.
凸(艹皿艹).
Mag dumped the century egg into the waste bin at the side, and continued to make century eggs.
If he could start his life all over again, he would definitely be a kind and loving rich second-generation heir who embraced life. He would never sprout nonsense online again.
Fail!
Fail!
Fail...
...
“Congratulations! You have made a very bouncy century egg!”
A successful century egg was indeed very bouncy.
Mag used his finger to poke it. The bouncy feeling was very obvious as it sunk in a little. When he removed his finger, it went back to its original shape again.
The light brown century egg was semi-transparent with a pattern that resembled pine twigs on its surface. They were formed naturally yet looked so intricate as if a master traditional chinese painter had painted them. It was amazing.
After cutting it open, three circles of different hues were very distinct. The outermost layer was very bouncy, and was a semi-transparent light brown color. The middle layer was a little yellow and a little soft, and the innermost layer was golden.
It was so beautiful that it looked like a piece of art.
Mag nodded with satisfaction. This was a century egg that looked as bouncy as it was pretty.
A faint aroma had already greeted his nose.
After making the century egg, Cooking porridge was a piece of cake for Mag.
After failing for dozens of times, a bowl of congee with pork and century egg that looked good, smelled good, and tasted good was done.
“Let’s have this for breakfast tomorrow.” Mag smiled after smiling at the aroma that greeted his nose. Then, he exited the test field for the God of Cookery.
...
Early next morning, Mag opened the door and saw Camilla standing there. He teased, “Seems like our countess has found the correct door today.”
A blush crept up Camilla’s haughty face. She stared at Mag as if she wanted to swallow him whole. She huffed and then pushed Mag aside to enter the restaurant.
Mag rubbed his shoulder that hurt from the shove. His gaze landed on Camilla who went into the kitchen and began cutting cucumbers straight away. He raised his brows and thought this woman was no pushover.
Anna came downstairs, and asked Mag, “Uncle Mag, is there anything I can help with?”
“If Anna wants to help...” Mag glanced at the time. It was only six o’clock. This little one indeed remembered her promise and woke up to help.
“Good morning, Boss. Good morning, Anna.” Right at this time, Yabemiya’s voice sounded out there. She walked in with a smile and greeted Mag and Anna.
Elizabeth followed in, and lightly said, “Morning.”
“It’s so early. I feel I should have slept for a while longer.” Babla came in as yawned. She rubbed her sleepy eyes as if she hadn’t woken up completely.
Gina came down from upstairs, blinked in a surprise, and said, “Everyone came so early. I thought I was the earliest.”
Yabemiya gave Mag an energetic smile as she said, “Boss, we are all here. Just tell us if there is anything you need us to do.”
Mag looked at his staff who were all present. It was more than one hour before they needed to come for work, and the weather was so cold, yet they had all come early. He felt a little touched, and smiled as he said, “I am going to make breakfast for them now. I am preparing the congee with pork and century egg for them. It’s also the new item that we are introducing today. Sit down and take a break first. I will only need you when I need to give out the porridge.
“And, if you are coming in the future, come after 6.30 am. You can sleep in a little longer,” Mag added when he reached the kitchen.
Wash the rice and put it into a pot that was big enough. Cook it with a big fire and add in the ingredients according to the sequence...
Mag had already known the steps very well in his heart. The porridge slowly thickened in the pot.
And outside of the restaurant right now, the cleaners were starting to gather. They were looking into the restaurant cautiously.
“Aiyoh, look at that huge crystal. It’s such a piece, and there are two of them. How much money do you need for that?” An old man looked through the full-length glass windows in awe. He wanted to reach out to touch it, but quickly retrieved his hand when he was about to touch it. He worriedly said, “I would never be able to pay for it if I broke it.”
“Yes. This is the prettiest restaurant in Aden Square. Even the Ducas Restaurant cannot compare to it,” an old lady praised.
“Is that boss really going to prepare breakfast for us? I heard the cheapest dish here costs 200 copper coins. There are so many of us, aren’t we going to cost him a few thousands? Or he will simply cook us something cheap?” a skinny old man said worriedly.
Old Jack glared at him as he said, “Don’t say nonsense, Elton. Boss Mag is a good person. Since he has promised to cook breakfast for us, he is going to do it. Furthermore, Boss Mag is already providing breakfast for us free-of-charge. Do you still expect to have the best?”
“I am just making a casual remark. I didn’t even bring a biscuit today. If there is no food, I will be going hungry,” Elton said awkwardly. He no longer said anything.
The cleaners began to gather at the entrance. They started their work at 4 am, and had been sweeping in the intense cold for over two hours. Now they were already so cold and hungry that they started to hop on the same spot.
Harrison and Gjerj, who had arranged to exercise together, decided to come to line up at Mamy Restaurant just after running for a short while. When they saw the cleaners gathering at the restaurant’s entrance, they couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Sir, why are you guys gathering at the restaurant so early in the morning? Are you guys coming here to eat as a group?”
“This restaurant’s owner is a good man. He said he wanted to provide free breakfast for us. It’s almost 6 am now, and we are waiting for our breakfast,” Old Jack said smilingly.
“Wow, Boss Mag is providing free breakfast for you, that’s so blissful.” Harrison looked at them enviously.
“Boss Mag is really a good person,” Gjerj said with a smile too.
Ding!
Right at this moment, the bells on the door gave out a chime. The restaurant’s door opened outward, and Miya came out with a pot that was even wider than her waist. She placed it on the ground at the entrance effortlessly.
This is one of the so-called weak ladies that Boss Mag mentioned? Harrison and Gjerj swallowed at the same time.
Yabemiya gave everyone a bright smile before removing the lid of the big pot.
An unique aroma coupled with hot steam rushed toward all of them instantaneously.
