Mai Ge made three grilled fish in total: two large portions and one medium portion. Everyone except Miranda could have some grilled fish.
"It's okay, sweetie, I won't eat it either. We can have braised chicken, it'll be just as delicious." Jergi looked at the grilled fish next to him, swallowed hard, and said to Miranda.
Because of her pregnancy, Miranda's emotions sometimes change very quickly. Having gone through the first three children, Jergi is already very familiar with all of this and doesn't feel the slightest impatience or annoyance.
"Then after I give birth, you must bring me here to eat lots of fish." Miranda nodded and looked at Jergi earnestly.
"Okay, after the baby is born, you can eat as much as you want. I'll come with you to eat everyday." Jergi smiled gently, holding Angus in one arm and stroking Miranda's belly with the other, and whispered, "Little baby, be good. After you are born, Daddy will bring you and Mommy to eat fish. You can eat as much as you want."
Seemingly understanding Jergi's promise, the little one who had been restless in Miranda's belly quickly calmed down, finally allowing Jergi to breathe a sigh of relief.
"This Spicy Grilled Fish is so delicious! It's really numbing and spicy, it feels like my throat is on fire. Vivian loves strong flavors so much, she'll definitely love it." Luna fanned her mouth gently with her hand, sticking out her cute little tongue, thinking to herself when she could secretly take Vivian out for a delicious Spicy Grilled Fish.
"Mr. Mai Ge's cooking is absolutely superb, we can't find such delicious food anywhere else."
"Amy's daddy is so amazing! I'm so envious of Amy for being able to eat such delicious food everyday. It couldn't be better!"
The exclamations of praise from adults and children filled the air, and Amy's little face was full of pride and a happy smile.
"You flatter me, you flatter me." Mai Ge said modestly, though he was quite pleased with the compliment. Seeing his food bring joy to his guests gave him an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
The delicious food dampened everyone's desire for small talk and jokes. Only after all the food on the table was devoured did everyone let out a satisfied burp.
"Burp..." Jessica burped and looked at Amy, who had picked up the last Rou Jia Mo on the table, with a surprised expression. "Amy, how can your stomach hold so much food? I'm already full, but you can still eat so much."
"Because my belly is bigger than Jessica's." Amy said with a smile, holding the Rou Jia Mo in her two little hands and taking bites one by one. She quickly finished the Rou Jia Mo.
"It seems everyone has almost finished eating. For this gathering, Amy, Mia, and Aisha have prepared a dance for everyone. Take a break and then enjoy their dance—'Spring Is Here.' After the dance, there will be a small dessert, which is also a new dish that the restaurant will be launching soon. Please try it later." Mai Ge said with a smile, looking at everyone. He was also looking forward to the debut of Gokuraku Jodo.
"Wow, really? Amy, you can dance! That's amazing!" Daphne looked at Amy with sparkling eyes.
"You really can dance?" Ignaz asked, a little skeptical.
"Amy learns so fast! When Teacher Luna taught us to sing, she learned it in no time." Jessica said confidently.
"Spring Is Here? What kind of dance will it be? Will Mr. Mai Ge teach Amy? Like that song, 'A Little Girl Picking Mushrooms'?" Luna looked at Amy with the same curiosity, then her gaze fell on Mai Ge. The catchy song, "A Little Girl Picking Mushrooms," had left a deep impression on her.
"I've been practicing for a long time, but I still feel like I'm not very good at it. But today I want to show you all." Amy's expression was a little nervous, but it quickly turned into anticipation. She happily said, "And after the dance, we can eat Daddy's new dessert. It's going to be super delicious!"
"I think so. I've fallen in love with all the food your Daddy makes!" Ignaz nodded earnestly, the little bean sprout on his head swaying from side to side. He seemed to be in a good mood.
"I'm also curious about what Boss Mai's new dish is. Will it be as delicious as Sweet Tofu Pudding?" Xi Xi thought to herself with great anticipation.
After a short rest, Amy, Yabemia, and Sally got up and walked to the center of the open space formed by the table. Amy stood in the middle, Yabemia on the left, and Sally on the right. The three of them faced three different directions and stood in the classic three-person group dance pose of Gokuraku Jodo, raising their hands in a ready position.
A half-elf little girl in a purple dress, a half-dragon in a black maid outfit, and an elf in a gold-trimmed cheongsam—cute, energetic, and elegant, three completely different images stand together without any sense of incongruity.
"I'm so nervous about dancing in front of so many people..." Yabemia slowly adjusted her breathing, but she could still hear her heart pounding wildly.
Before coming to Restaurant Mai Mi, she was just a female worker in the dimly lit kitchen, responsible for washing dishes and processing ingredients. She was disliked by her colleagues and ridiculed and insulted by her boss. She was afraid to face many people, even afraid to communicate with strangers, and she could not believe that one day she could learn to dance and stand in front of many people to dance for them.
But all of this came true after she came to Restaurant Mai Mi. She learned how to face every customer with a sincere smile and learned what confidence and being respected meant.
"Sister Mia, you can do it!" Amy said, having somehow taken Yabemia's hand in hers.
"Mia, you're already dancing very well, even better than me. Don't be nervous, just do it like you practice." Sally added with a smile.
"Mmm." Yabemia felt a surge of energy, and most of her tension vanished. She nodded seriously.
"It's starting." Mai Ge said with a smile, pressing the play button on the music box.
The lighthearted music of Gokuraku Jodo begins, and the three of them dance to the music, their skirts and sleeves fluttering. Every movement is perfectly timed with the drumbeats, light yet powerful.
The elegant hand movements resembled butterfly steps fluttering on the floor. With their toes lightly touching the ground to the beat of the drum, the three dancers presented three different styles, yet they were perfectly combined. Their movements were flawlessly coordinated, and the dance, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, was captivating.
"Wow... amazing!" Ignaz's mouth dropped open, his face filled with disbelief.
"What rhythmic music! What a unique and beautiful dance!" Luna exclaimed in amazement.
"Amy is absolutely amazing! How can she be so wonderful! I really love her!" Daphne looked at Amy with a fangirl expression.
