Chapter 148 Four dishes and one soup

"Don't worry, Ma Lu has already registered with the city manager, so your existence won't be exposed."

Hearing what Yan Wu had to say, Jigina finally relaxed, then spoke into the phone's microphone.

"Sorry, my people and I are just taking refuge in your universe, and we don't want the people here to know about our existence."

Yan Wu then explained, "The Valkyrie People were enslaved by an evil dragon for tens of thousands of years. Although they escaped, they are always cautious of other intelligent species, especially those that dominate a planet."

"I see, so you've come to Earth for refuge?" Ma Lu turned to the small people on the ground.

Liliem nodded. It was her first time dealing with a giant and she seemed a bit nervous, speaking faster than before.

"We are small, eat little, and our population is also quite small, just under four thousand, so we won't use too much of the resources on this planet. When we were in the mountains, we farmed our own food."

"Oh, no problem, I don't mind at all," Ma Lu said.

Although he was an Earthling, he was just a restaurant owner and had no say in matters of races and immigrants.

Moreover, ever since he met Old Wang, Ma Lu had met quite a few visitors from different dimensions, going from initial surprise to gradual numbness. He no longer knew how many outsiders might be hidden on this planet.

But since everyone had been living peacefully for so many years, then just continue to make do, what else could they do? After all, if something really happened, there was always that pigeon to help cover for them.

Also, these Valkyrie People were genuinely pitiable, having lost their own home and having traveled so far to Earth. After so much time, they only staked a claim on Mount Everest and kept to themselves, until now when they sent someone down the mountain to gather information. They didn't seem to harbor any ill intentions.

Having finished speaking, Ma Lu placed the Spiny Whip Spider Eggs and Thousand-Tooth Sand Bream dish on the ground.

"Please enjoy."

This dish used two ingredients from different dimensions, Spiny Whip Spider Eggs and Thousand-Tooth Sand Bream meat, each a three-star ingredient. Combined, they raised the dish's Deliciousness Index to ★★☆.

This group of Valkyrie People had trekked all the way here from the Tibetan Plateau, and probably hadn't eaten very well on the journey.

Seeing such a big piece of meat in front of them, everyone's eyes glowed green with hunger. Yet, they still maintained excellent discipline, all turning to look at Jigina.

It would be more accurate to describe it as a piece of flowing meat rather than just juice.

The texture was completely different from the previous meat ribs, brimming with juices, yet when bitten into, it had a gritty texture and even a spicy taste reminiscent of curry.

Liliem quickly grew fond of this unique and magical sensation, and more people started noticing the yellow pearls on the steak.

Curious, they, too, stepped forward to taste, and soon they were exclaiming in amazement, just like Liliem.

Seeing this, Yan Wu couldn't help but shake his head.

These Valkyrie People didn't know the proper way to enjoy this dish; they were all too eager.

In contrast, the hardware store owner had been as steady as Mount Everest, waiting a few more minutes. With the continued warmth of the steak, the spider eggs on top finally burst open, and the liquids inside flowed down, drizzling over the steak beneath.

Only when he saw this did Yan Wu pick up his knife, cut a piece of meat, and put it in his mouth.

Perfect!

The flavors of the Spiny Whip Spider Eggs and Thousand-Tooth Sand Bream Meat, so different from each other, finally blended together perfectly at that moment!

This was a union of strengths, where the two ingredients didn't just sit side by side, but complemented and contrasted each other, bringing out the flavors even more strikingly.

It took less than ten minutes for the Spider Egg Roast Sand Dory to be completely devoured, with Yan Wu himself having half the dish, and the remaining half divided amongst the Valkyrie People.

And at that moment, Ma Lu came out with the second dish.

——Iron Plate Magma Worm.

This dish still used ingredients from a Different Dimension, Lava Giant Lizard and desert worms, and the preparation was somewhat similar to the earlier volcanic grilled sausages.

However, volcanic grilled sausages are more suited to street stalls rather than being the main course of a restaurant.

So, Ma Lu chose Iron Plate Magma Worm this time, stuffing Lava Giant Lizard Meat into desert worms. When cooked, there's no need to add extra oil, and as it grills on the iron plate, the fat from the desert worms infuses into the giant lizard meat, making the meat aromatic and rich.

And to ensure this dish isn't too rich, Old Wang added a fresh segment of asparagus in the middle.
