Mag raised an eyebrow. This remark sounds familiar… A lot of people had said the similar thing on the Internet, so he had expected to hear it, but he hadn’t expected Yabemiya to be the first one to say it.

Smiling, Mag shook his head. “You may find yourself wrong,” he said. Disagreement arose already, and among us… He didn’t want to argue with his waitress. He seated himself and picked up the savory tofu pudding.

He had chosen the sides according to his taste. On top of the white, tender tofu pudding were orange-red gravy, chopped zha cai, cilantro, green onion, mashed garlic, and some sesame oil. It was still steaming.

He spooned some into his mouth. The tofu pudding was very watery and smooth, and melted with the savory gravy right away.

The fresh sides went great with tofu pudding. After he swallowed, the faint fragrance remained in his mouth.

Mag’s eyes lit up. It’s even better than the bai’s tofu pudding in Beijing! It’s just perfect! He quickened his hand. Three minutes later, he put down the spoon and looked at the empty bowl, satisfied. A steaming savory tofu pudding is great for breakfast. I think a roujiamo would make it even better. Miya prefers sweet tofu pudding, and I prefer the savory one. Which one will Amy like?

“Father, I’m hungry,” Amy said, holding Ugly Duckling in her arms. She had already come downstairs. She took a sniff, and asked curiously, “Father, have you cooked a new dish?”

“Yes. We have a new dish. Take a seat. I’ll bring you some tofu pudding. Do you like it sweet or savory?” Mag asked, rising to his feet.

“Tofu pudding? Sweet or savory?” Amy didn’t understand.

“Amy, the sweet one is very delicious. You’ll like it,” Yabemiya suggested.

Mag lifted an eyebrow. That’s not fair! I have to think of something to describe the savory tofu pudding.

Amy’s eyes brightened. “Really? But I’m sure the savory one is very tasty too.” She turned to Mag. “Father, can I try both?”

Mag was taken by surprise. “Sure.” Then he smiled. I should have seen that coming. Such a little foodie! Which one will she prefer after she has tried both?

“Thank you, Father!” Amy skipped happily over to the table, holding the little kitten. She looked at Mag with her big blue eyes. Although she didn’t know what tofu pudding was, she liked anything that was cooked by her father.

After a while, Mag stepped out of the kitchen with two bowls. He put them on the table. “The left one is sweet, and the right one is savory. Which one do you like to try first?”

Yabemiya gazed at Amy expectantly. She could tell that her boss liked the savory one better, but she favored the sweet one, so naturally she hoped that Amy would like it too.

Amy waved her small hand over the dish. “Smells delicious!” she said happily.

“Meow, meow…” Ugly Duckling cried in Amy’s arms. It climbed along her arm, trying to see what was in the bowls.

Amy pushed its little head down. “Stop looking. They’re mine!”

“Meow…” Ugly Duckling gave Amy a sullen look, its sapphire eyes awfully sad.

Amy paid it no mind. Her eyes went from one bowl to the other. The tender tofu pudding was so lovely and white as if it had been made of snow. She hesitated for a moment, and pulled the savory one closer to her. She picked up the spoon.

Mag allowed himself a smile. Atta girl! As expected of my daughter!

Yabemiya was a little disappointed, but she hadn’t given up hope. Amy will like the sweet one too, she thought adamantly.

“I’ll start eating.” Amy scooped a spoonful of tofu pudding. It was shaking a little in the spoon, white, tender, elastic, and covered by orange-red gravy and chopped zha cai. After she brought the spoon into her mouth, the food melted right away. The tasty tofu pudding and delicious zha cai and gravy blended together perfectly, bringing a smile to her face.

After she swallowed, she looked up at the expectant Mag. “Father, this tofu pudding is very good. But can I have a roujiamo to go with it?”

Mag nodded. “Sure. I’ll make one for you,” he said. Amy has the same opinion as me! She is really talented in eating.

Is it really that good? Yabemiya wondered as she watched Amy eating happily. But when her eyes went from Amy to the sweet tofu pudding, the look on her face became determined again. The sweet one is the best!

Mag made two roujiamos quickly, and then made a bowl of savory tofu pudding for himself.

Amy took a bite of roujiamo, and ate a spoonful of tofu pudding. Her eyes went wide, and she gave a radiant smile. She rocked her body from side to side, looking very happy.

Ugly Duckling’s eyes followed the movements of Amy’s spoon, full of longing.

Mag smiled—Amy liked the savory tofu pudding.

A sharp knock came from the door. Mag took a look at the time. It was 7 am, so he didn’t intend to open the door.

“Mag, it’s me. I’m from Sherlock Detective Agency. I’ve got something for you,” an urgent voice called out.
