Chapter 667 Roast Goose is Very Delicious, But…
“It grew wings?”
A surprised expression appeared on Mag’s face as he turned to Amy, who was standing at the kitchen’s entrance with Ugly Duckling in her arms.
Amy pointed to Ugly Duckling’s back, and said, “Look! Look! The two patches of fur on its back here have turned white; it’s like a pair of little wings.”
Mag put down the knife in his hand and made his way over to Amy. Ugly Duckling didn’t appear to be fully awake yet, and it snuggled up in Amy’s arms before closing its eyes with a content expression on its face.
Sure enough, two small patches of white had appeared on its orange fur, and upon closer inspection, they really did appear to be like a pair of little white wings. The patches were completely symmetrical on either side, and made for a very adorable sight.
“They do indeed look like little wings.” Mag nodded in response. The little white wings that had suddenly appeared on Ugly Duckling’s back really were rather strange. Could it be that its body had evolved after eating the wine-infused steak the night prior?
“I knew it wasn’t a kitten! It’s an ugly duckling, and when it grows up, it’s going to become a beautiful white swan!” Amy looked down at Ugly Duckling with elation in her eyes as she licked her lips, and said, “When that time comes, I’m going to…”
“Meow~”
All of the fur on Ugly Duckling’s body suddenly stood on ends as it looked up at Amy with a horrified expression, and shook its head vigorously.
“It’s alright, you’re still small; I’ll wait until you grow bigger.” Amy put on a smile and gently stroked Ugly Duckling’s little head.
“Meow~”
Ugly Duckling closed its eyes in a satisfied manner, and settled in Amy’s arms again.
Could this thing be a mutated beast of some sort? Mag stroked the two little wings on Ugly Duckling’s back, only to find that the white fur was clearly slightly harder than the surrounding orange fur. Furthermore, the fur was stacked in layers like feathers on a bird’s wings, but there were no wings growing under the tufts of white fur.
“Father, will Ugly Duckling be able to fly when it grows up?” Amy looked up at Mag with an expectant gaze in her eyes.
“If it really is an ugly duckling, then it should be able to fly when it grows up.” Mag nodded with a smile. Ugly Duckling had originally hatched from an egg, and it appeared to have grown a pair of wings, so even Mag was rather unsure just what it was going to become after it grew up.
However, one thing was certain: they had picked up a treasure!
“Yay! Roast goose is very delicious, but… I can consider letting it grow up so I can ride on it into the sky.” Amy’s eyes lit up after making what appeared to have been an extremely difficult decision.
“That’s a good idea.” Mag nodded with a smile, and then said, “Go and brush your teeth, Amy. I’ll braid your hair later.”
“Alright.” Amy nodded obediently before carrying Ugly Duckling upstairs.

“Have you heard about what Boss Mag did during the mid-year banquet held by the Chamber of Commerce last time? He competed in a cooking contest with Head Chef Beate from Ducas Restaurant!” In the long line outside the restaurant, Harrison wore a mysterious look on his face. While out drinking with a friend the night prior, he had heard some very interesting news.
“What happened? Who won?” All of the customers were immediately intrigued upon hearing that. After all, Head Chef Beate was an extremely renowned chef in Chaos City.Read more chapter on AllNovel
Off to the side, a man wearing a set of lavish long robes smiled, and said, “Do you even need to ask? Of course Boss Mag won! I was there at the banquet last night, and during the cooking contest, Boss Mag won over the entire judging panel with his black pepper steak. The city lord, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Young Mistress Scheer were all judges on the panel, and Boss Mag secured a unanimous-votes victory!”
“So Boss Mag beat Head Chef Beate!”
Elated, the customers outside the restaurant immediately erupted in an uproar.
They felt as if something that they loved was finally gaining widespread acknowledgment.
However, at the same time, they were slightly concerned that if too many people knew about Mag’s cooking, his dishes would no longer solely belong to their exclusive customer group. This was quite an indescribable and conflicting feeling.
“Steak? I don’t recall that being a dish on Mamy Restaurant’s menu; could it be that Boss Mag is going to release another new dish?”
“It must be an extremely delicious dish to have secured the approval of both the city lord and the president of the Chamber of Commerce. I wonder if Boss Mag is going to release it today!”
All of the customers instantly became very excited. Not too long ago, the new roast beef kebabs had been a massive hit. Everyone was wondering what kind of surprises this new beef dish would bring to everyone.
As soon as Yabemiya walked in through the restaurant doors, she rushed over to Mag with a bewildered expression, and asked, “Boss, I heard you beat Head Chef Beate last night! Is that true?”
The head chef of Ducas Restaurant, Beate, was widely acknowledged as the most exceptional chef in Chaos City. He used to be her idol, yet he had been beaten in a cooking contest by Mag.
In Yabemiya’s heart, Mag had exceeded Head Chef Beate long ago, but she was still unable to contain her astonishment upon hearing such news.
Sally was also looking at Mag with a surprised expression on her face. She was Mamy Restaurant’s first-ever customer, so she was naturally aware just how much effort Mag had put in to take the restaurant from an obscure establishment to one that was renowned throughout the entire city.
“That’s right, Father cooked a super delicious steak last night, and then he won.” Before Mag had a chance to reply, Amy nodded her little head, and said, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Big Sister Babla; she also tasted the steak last night.”
“The steak was very delicious.” Babla nodded in confirmation. It wasn’t an easy task for her to compliment others, but it wasn’t too much to ask her to give her honest opinion.
“Today, our restaurant is going to release a new dish: the black pepper steak. If you want to try it, I can make it for all of you for breakfast today,” Mag offered with a smile. The act of spreading joy was a very joyful endeavor in itself.
During the cooking contest the night before, not only had he beaten Beate and won a storefront, he had also attracted a group of new customers with enormous spending abilities. This was undoubtedly extremely beneficial to the restaurant’s development.
“I want to eat the steak, then I want two tofu puddings!” Amy was the first to raise her hand.
“I’ll also get a steak. I feel like it’s going to be very delicious.” Yabemiya was the second to raise her hand.
Sally nodded, and said, “I’ll get a steak as well.”
“I’ll get… a medium steak,” Babla said rather hesitantly.
“Steak and tofu pudding; that’s an interesting combination.” Mag chuckled as he made his way toward the kitchen.

At the same time, a long line had also gathered outside the Blue Suede clothing store. A noblewoman in the line complained, “When is this Blue Suede going to open? I’ve been waiting here for almost half an hour!”
