Chapter 970: We want more!
Chapter 970: We want more!
The Merman King and the other mermaid royal guards were swimming back and forth inside of the pool.
The Merman Queen called Ariel over to rub her tail along with her.
The two of them had astonished looks on their faces as they rubbed her tail.
It seemed that these customers were quite satisfied with the products that I showed them.
It seemed that there wouldn’t be any problems in having them as repeat customers in the future.
But it turned out that I had underestimated how much they liked the product.
The Merman King and his mermaid royal guards kept swimming in the pool for a bit before they were satisfied. Or rather, it was better to say that they had no choice but to stop because the Merman Queen was finished admiring the lube’s moisturizing effect on her tail.
She had glared at the Merman King and the others, forcing them to come out of the pool.
Since they had been swimming for a bit, it was already time for lunch.
But that wasn’t the reason why she was glaring at them.
Because the pool was so small, the splashing from their tails actually went all the way to her and ruined her mood while she was admiring the moisturizing effect that the lube had on her tail.
She had endured all this time because she could tell that they were doing something important, but eventually she got tired of watching them have fun.
So she cut their fun short with that glare of hers.
Once that glare came out, the Merman King and the mermaid royal guards had no choice but to pack it up.
But they also did have satisfied expressions on their faces.
Since we had been expecting to host the group from the Merman Empire for a bit, we had naturally prepared lunch for them as well.
Though since we didn’t know what the mermaids liked other than a few suggestions from Ariel, we had to improvise. They were royals of the Merman Empire and the mermaid royal guards, so it wasn’t as if we could just use anything to entertain them.
As such, I brought out a few tricks from my past life.
I enjoyed reading recipes in my free time since I lived alone and cooked for myself, though it couldn’t compare to the passion that I had for H-games.
The dish that I was bringing out today was specially prepared for the mermaids.
“Raw fish?”
“No, it’s not just raw fish. There seems to be some kind of liquid drizzled on the fish.” “Is that oil?”
The mermaids were surprised by the dish, though they weren’t surprised that it was raw fish. Since they lived under the sea, eating fish raw was something that they were already used to. They were more surprised by the fact that there was oil drizzled on the raw fish.
What would oil on raw fish do?
It wasn’t as if the oil had that strong of a taste in the first place.
So they were all confused by the dish, but at the same time, they were certainly curious since it was a take on raw fish that they had never seen before.
But curiosity didn’t mean that they had the courage to try it.
Many of them looked at the dish with a strange look since they didn’t think that it would be good and they didn’t raise their forks towards it.
In the end, it was Ariel who went before everyone else.
Since she had been living here, it had been a while since she had raw fish. So even if there was this strange layer of oil drizzled on it, she still wanted to give it a try.
After putting it in her mouth, all of the mermaids watched her carefully to see her reaction. When she chewed on it, Ariel suddenly lowered her head which made all of them worried that it tasted bad. But then all of a sudden, Ariel raised her head and said, “Delicious!”
She didn’t hesitate to take a second bite of the carpaccio.
The others looked at each other before they also started digging in.
They were all surprised by the taste of it, but it didn’t seem like they were dissatisfied with it
as they kept putting more and more of the carpaccio into their mouths.
“This taste…it’s a boldness that we’ve never tasted with normal raw fish before.”
“There’s also this faint acidic taste to it…”
“No, it’s a citrus taste. It’s one of those fruits from the land that we tried before.”
With the way that they were going, it didn’t take long for them to finish off the plates that had been brought in by the maids.
As they looked at the empty plates in front of them, they couldn’t help rubbing their stomachs as if they still hadn’t had their fill.
The Merman King was the one that took the lead by saying, “We want more!”
I gave a nod to the maids who had been standing around with awkward looks on their faces.
They were supposed to be preparing for the next course, so they didn’t expect the guests to suddenly ask for another serving of the same course. But since they had received permission from me, they went off to get another serving of the carpaccio.
I had made sure that there were other servings since I knew that they would want more of this.
It was a dish that wasn’t from this world, so of course they would be entranced by it.
It was no wonder it was passed down to the modern times in my previous world.
As they headed off, the Merman Queen suddenly said, “That’s right, we want more.”
I just said with a smile, “The maids are already preparing the new portions, if you just wait a bit, they’ll be back…”
Before I could finish, the Merman Queen cut me off by saying, “I didn’t mean the food.”
The way that she looked at me with narrowed eyes made it clear what she was saying.
I also calmed myself before looking at her with a serious look.
