“This is the roasted pig’s eyes?”


  Adolphus looked at the plate of food seriously. On it were two skewers, and an enticing scent of grilled meat wafted from them.

  These were indeed pig’s eyes, pig’s eyes that were pulled out from the sockets. However, after being grilled, it was not something as scary as one thought. Each eye was glistening with oil, and one could still see the eyeball under the slightly charred brown surface.

  One skewer had five eyeballs.

  Although the smell was enticing, this roasted pig’s eyes did not look fantastic or special, but it could actually treat ophthalmological diseases that were a headache even to him.

  “Let me take a look at what is so special about this roasted pig’s eyes.” Adolphus reached for one skewer, and was about to try it.

  “Don’t be anxious. Someone with experience told me that you cannot rush to eat the roasted pig’s eyes. You have to wait for it to cool—”


  Before Jason was done with his reminder, Adolphus had already bitten into the first roasted pig’s eyes.

  Pop~

  The eyeball burst, and the scalding liquid squirted everywhere at the same time.

  Luckily, Jason was prepared. He reached out for the plate in front of him, and raised it to his face, avoiding the scalding liquid in the nick of time.

  However, Adolphus was not at all prepared. He faced the scalding liquid head-on.

  Hot!

  Adolphus bit into the pig’s eye easily using his knowledge on eyes, but what caught him off-guard was that underneath such a quiet and simple appearance hid such scalding liquid.

  His taste buds shut down instantly, and the scalding sensation made him want to spit the things out.

  However, as half a public figure, he had an image to maintain, so he stopped himself from doing so.

  After the heat dispersed, just as he was thinking of what to do with the rather pathetic pig’s eye in his mouth, the beautiful taste of the liquid started blooming.

  Adolphus’s eyes lit up slowly. It was fresher and tastier than bone broth, and as the heat dispelled, his scalded mouth was slowly healed.

  There wasn’t much liquid left. After he finished swallowing them, he started chewing on the remaining parts of the eyeball.

  As a famous ophthalmologist with around 30 years of clinical experience, this was the first time Adolphus tried pig’s eye, or perhaps the first time he ate an eye bigger than a fish’s eye.

  He had observed and dissected a pig’s eye before because pig’s eyes and human eyes were quite similar, and the former were also easily obtained. However, chewing and tasting pig’s eyes seriously like now was really his first time.

  The firm sclera protected the eyeball, so it was very chewy. There were parts of the eyeball that were crunchy, just like chewing on cartilage, which should be the cornea. After this detailed tasting process, it felt as though he was re-dissecting a pig’s eye in his mouth.

  He felt that this pig should be a little different from those farm pigs that he dissected before. The structure of the eye was similar, but there were parts that differed. This eyeball seemed to have a thicker and fuller cornea.

  After a while, he swallowed his first roasted pig’s eye.

  The taste continued lingering in his mouth, and at this moment, he had already taken back all of his rash judgment. This delicious and special roasted pig’s eye was worth way more than its value of 300 copper coins just because of its taste, even if it didn’t have any other effects.

  “How’s it? What do you feel?” Jason asked softly.

  Adolphus thought carefully for a while, and said, “It’s delicious.”


  “.……” Jason.

  “After eating this roasted pig’s eye, I could feel a cooling sensation around my eyes, but it’s not very obvious. If I hadn’t tried my best to feel it, I would probably have neglected it. Maybe it’s taking an effect on the eyes,” Adolphus said with a smile.

  “Right? We really have to take our hats off to Boss Mag for that,” Jason said with a smile.

  “If this roasted pig’s eye could treat some of the difficult ophthalmological diseases, it would indeed be good news for patients. This owner is a talent indeed to be able to make such delicious roasted pig’s eyes that have healing effects.” Adolphus nodded in agreement.

  “Come, let the roasted pig’s eyes cool for a while. Try his 15-year-old rum. This thrashes the three-year brew I bought back then,” Jason said with a chuckle as he placed a glass of rum in front of Adolphus.

  “Your Yangzhou fried rice.” Yabemiya placed a plate of fried rice gently in front of Darren.

  “What a beautiful fried rice.” Darren’s eyes lit up as he inched closer to look at the fried rice with a vibrant mix of colors.

  “Wow, this fried rice looks not bad.” Dorothy’s eyes lit up as well. The beautiful appearance of the dish attracted her attention immediately. There was also the fragrance of egg and other ingredients, which made her swallow her saliva.

  “Big Sister Dorothy, this is super delicious.” Darren looked up at Dorothy. He passed her a spoon with a smile, and said, “Have the first bite.”


  “It’s alright. I’ve ordered a lot of food. This belongs to you and Lucy. You two can go ahead.” Dorothy waved her hand with a smile, and said, “Seeing your fried rice makes me look forward to the subsequent dishes. Looks like this restaurant is really not bad.”


  “Big Sister, you can have it first.” Darren turned the handle of the spoon towards Lucy.

  “Have it first, Darren, I’ll eat when you’re done.” Lucy shook her head and took the spoon from Darren. She scooped a spoonful of rice, and was about to feed him when she saw his eyes. She put the spoon back into his hands with a smile, and said, “Now you should eat on your own.”


  “Mm-hm, mm-hm.” Darren took the spoon, but quickly put it back down on the plate with a meek smile. He said, “I’ll wait for everyone to eat together.”


  ***

  After the busy dinner hours, the customers all walked out of the restaurant with their protruding stomachs and their faces beaming with joy.

  Elizabeth quickly finished cleaning up, and the restaurant looked just as clean as before.

  “Go back earlier to rest. There’s still work tomorrow,” Mag said with a smile as he removed his apron.

  However, everyone did not seem to have the intention to leave.

  “Boss, Miya has already told us. If Shirley is trapped in the Wind Forest, we want to save her together, just like our operation at Falk Tribe. I believe that we can all do it,” Babla said seriously as she looked at Mag.

  “Yes. It’s too dangerous there. We can’t leave her there alone.” Miya nodded.

  “If it’s necessary, I can ask the elders of my tribe to help,” Gina said as she raised her hand.

  “I cannot confirm if my uncle, who has just become the new leader, has full control of his strength, but if I threaten him with my life, I don’t think he will refuse to come along,” Camilla said as she leaned languidly against the counter.

  “I can take 10,” Irina said as she walked downstairs.

  “Me too!” Amy chimed in with Ugly Duckling in her arms.
