Chapter 1970: Roast goose! Roast goose!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The roast goose which just came out of the oven was a beautiful golden brown with a tinge of red. The rich fragrance diffused out everywhere.
Mag nodded with satisfaction as he held the roast goose in one hand. Its color was perfect, and the smell was authentic. It was a top-grade roast goose.
“This color is to die for,” Irina commented.
“It looks better than the roast goose sold in the roast goose restaurant a street away.” Amy nodded as she locked her gaze on the roast goose in Mag’s hand.
Mag laughed as he pulled out the hook in the roast goose, and poured the braised sauce in the roast goose’s stomach into a little bowl. That was the essence of the roast goose. The rich fragrance of the spices came from there, and it still had an important purpose.
Compared to the delicate slicing method used for a roast duck, a roast goose was cut in a simpler way. Mag took Fat Head Fish, and placed the roast goose on a clean chopping block. After that, he chopped the roast goose into equal portions, and plated them.
After that, Mag took the braised sauce he got from the roast goose stomach previously, and drizzled it on the roast goose. After the sauce seeped into the meat, it was ready to be served.
Of course, one could never forget plum sauce when it came to eating roast goose.
The plum sauce was provided by the System. Mag took four sauce dishes out, and brought the roast goose out of the kitchen as he announced, “The food’s ready, let’s eat.”
“I’ve already prepared my chopsticks.” Amy sat on her chair as she fixed her gaze on the roast goose in Mag’s hand.
“You can eat it straight, or dip it in the plum sauce. You decide,” Mag said with a smile as he placed the roast goose in the middle of the table.
“Okay!” Amy nodded. She reached her chopsticks out, and placed a goose leg in Mag’s bowl. “Father, you’ve worked hard. This goose leg is your reward.”
“You’re using the roast goose leg that I made to reward me, eh?” Mag looked at the goose leg in his bowl, but his smile had already revealed his inner thoughts. “That’s awesome! My precious daughter dotes on me.”
At the same time, he glanced at Irina proudly.
“Mother, you’ve also worked hard. This big goose leg is for you.” Amy placed a bigger goose leg in Irina’s bowl.
“Er…” Mag’s smile froze.
“Thank you, our dear little Amy.” Irina looked at Mag with a smile. She picked up the goose leg with her hand, and dipped it in the plum sauce before putting it into her mouth.
“Ah…”
The sweet tanginess of the plum sauce triggered her taste buds instantly after a day of running around without any food intake.
The thin and crispy goose skin and the tender and fatty goose meat exploded in her mouth together with the rich fragrance of the braise sauce within that bite.
The goose meat had absorbed the braise sauce, and was juicy and tender. Just a few bites were enough to separate the skin from the meat. The meat carried the fragrance of the charcoal grill, and was increasingly fragrant the more she chewed. The plum sauce also gave the roast goose an entirely different flavor.
Irina seemed to have seen a big fat goose flying high in the endless sky…
A very long time later, Irina opened her eyes. She took in a deep breath, and looked at Mag as she said seriously, “You’re never escaping from my palms in this life.”
“Even if you have me physically—”
“Your heart belongs to her as well,” Amy finished the sentence.
“Bingo.” Mag nodded. He smiled proudly. Indeed, the way to a woman’s heart was through her stomach.
Amy also gave Annie a goose leg before picking the last, smallest goose leg for herself. She dipped it in the plum sauce, and took a bite.

Her azure blue eyes lit up immediately. Her little mouth chewed quickly and swallowed the meat. She swiftly took a big bite of the goose meat before she could even speak, making her cheeks puff out. She chewed deliciously, and her face was full of bliss. Watching her eat made one’s appetite increase and mouth salivate.
Mag felt that Amy definitely had the talent to do a Mukbang. She would always make people watching her eat feel hungry.
“So the roast goose is really delicious. I like roast goose.” After finishing half the goose leg, Amy finally had the time to speak. She even turned to look at Ugly Duckling, and said, “Ugly Duckling, you have to eat more and grow up quickly.”
Ugly Duckling, which was concentrating on battling with a piece of goose meat, paused. The goose meat in its mouth suddenly lost all flavor.
Annie was also taking small bites off the goose leg. Judging from her expression, she seemed to be enjoying the roast goose.
Mag was not in a rush to have the goose leg. He took a piece of breast meat for himself, and put it into his mouth without dipping it in the plum sauce.
The breast meat contained the skin, meat, and bone. A good roast goose had to be good in every way.
The skin was crispy and fragrant. The malt candy seasoning gave it a hint of sweetness as one chewed it.
The skin, meat, and bone seemed to be stuck together, but they were actually easily separated in a single bite.
The braise sauce had already been infused into the bone. Therefore, chewing the bone and the skin together made it even more fragrant. The plump and tender goose meat had just the right amount of fat so that it was not too greasy.
“Yes. This is a perfect roast goose.” Mag swallowed the meat and nodded with satisfaction.
As an experienced foodie, Mag knew that the roast goose was ranked as one of the top dishes in Cantonese cuisine. He had tried the dish made by several experts, and had also dissed many for it, but he had never gotten such an experience when eating the roast goose made by any other chef.
“This is marvelous. I am almost smitten by myself.” Mag sighed. That was rather embarrassing.
However, being able to achieve that meant that Mag did not let down the compilation of roast goose recipes from all the experts.
Dinner ended joyously. The two children brought Ugly Duckling upstairs to play, while Mag started clearing the table.
“What’s the situation with the orcs like?” Irina asked Mag while helping to clear the chopsticks.
“The Roth Empire caused tens of orc tribes to turn into the Urba Tribe. Many tribes were slaughtered with none surviving, not even the children,” Mag said solemnly.
“Andre, that old scoundrel… Isn’t he afraid of the fury from the masses?” Irina raged.
“This might not be Andre’s orders.” Mag shook his head. “I discovered the existence of a suspicious black fog in one of the massacred tribes, and I also saw this.”
Mag took out a photostone, and showed Irina the corpses of the orcs that had their spirit and blood sucked dry.
“This is?”
“I suspect that Josh has sold his soul to the devil, and waged a war with the orcs and elves behind Andre’s back. In addition, he ordered the orc tribes to be massacred so that he could increase his powers by sucking the resentment of the dead orcs. You’ve detected the black fog near him previously. I guess that was when he had gotten into contact with the Great Old Ones,” Mag said.
“If that’s the case, we have to find him quickly and kill him..” Irina’s expression turned serious. “Would he be in Rodu now?”
