Sure enough, it was her!!

Ed's heart sank, knowing that what should come is always coming, and while sighing, he can only put on a smile to greet him.

"Lord Christopher, don't come unharmed......"

That's right, the red-haired woman in front of her is none other than Liliana Christopher, one of the members of the High Council of the Rainbow Tower, a powerful person in the upper echelons of the city.

And Liliana is also one of the few foreign mages among the high-ranking councilors who does not often appear in the Rainbow Tower, and her whereabouts are erratic, which is rare to see in ordinary times.

But for Ed, these are secondary.

Liliana is known to be a complete foodie.

The so-called foodie should be a superposition of two levels, first, it can eat a lot, and second, it can choose food, and Liliana is a real foodie who combines the two points.

"This gale-roast chicken, it seems that the heat is a little out of place, and the meat of the chicken is also a little soft, this dish wants the best Wendland Northland chicken with a large fire, adding exotic spices to complete the delicious, your negligence, can not be ignored." ”

As soon as Liliana opened her mouth, she was complaining about the poor quality of the food, which made Ed break out in a cold sweat.

In addition to being a high-ranking member of the Rainbow Tower, this is also a special food commentator of the "Mage Daily", and every food review article of Liliana can make a restaurant in the Rainbow Tower immediately flourish or weaken, which can be regarded as the existence that Ed fears the most.

In fact, Ed was able to become famous precisely because of Liliana's recommendation, and he ran the original dilapidated small restaurant to this extent, so Ed was always afraid of Liliana.

"This ...... I immediately went to the chef and questioned him. ”

took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and Ed couldn't help but sweat coldly on this winter day, for fear that Liliana would be unhappy, and his restaurant would be on the headlines of the "Mage Daily" tomorrow, with unpalatable comments.

"Wait. ”

Liliana's words made Ed, who wanted to turn around and flee, freeze immediately.

"Please, what else do you have to say?"

"This pan-fried tuna, because the fire is used for too long, so the original fat and juicy fish meat becomes too dry and too chai, the basil in this sauce is used too much, which affects the original taste of the fish, and this iceberg squid, the squid is placed in the air for too long after heating, and it is not cooled with ice water in time, so the taste becomes soft and weak, which is the basic ......skill."

Liliana said a lot of dissatisfaction, and the people at the next table heard Liliana's words, and silently put down the tableware and left.

Ed could only nod his head again and again, not daring to refute half a sentence.

While commenting and eating, before she knew it, Liliana also wiped out most of the dishes on the table.

"You've been too lazy in my absence, and you know that maintaining consistent quality is the key to a restaurant that stands out. ”

Wiping the corners of her mouth with the warm newbier handkerchief that Ed handed her, Liliana said in conclusion.

"Yes, yes, what you said is your Excellency, I will order rectification and strictly control the production of the chefs!"

Ed bowed, but Liliana's next words made Ed stunned.

"Do your best, or I'm not going to recommend you as the head of the council's catering. ”

Liliana said lightly.

"Your Excellency?"

Ed was a little incredulous, you know, the high-level council will only be held once every year, but every time it is held, it will gather the top figures of the Rainbow Tower, and these influential people are so picky about their tastes, if Ed can satisfy the tongues of these big people, then his restaurant will not only be able to make a name for itself on the Rainbow Tower, but even win a good reputation in the entire continent.

It's a great opportunity, and it's hard to believe that it could be so easy to fall on your head.

So Ed asked rhetorically, trying to make sure if he had misheard something or if Liliana was just joking.

"Ed, do you remember when I asked you why you chose to cook when magic couldn't get any closer?"

Liliana spoke suddenly, sending Ed into memories of the past.

When he was still young, there was no hope of becoming a formal mage, and he was alone in this magical city, so Ed simply set up a stall on the corner of the street to sell some hometown specialty food, and he became a popular vendor.

Then, at dusk, Ed meets the red-haired mage.

At that time, Liliana had already advanced to silver and became a cutting-edge mid-level mage, living here, Ed naturally knew Liliana, so he was still panicking, for fear that this adult would be unhappy and destroy the stall he had worked so hard to run.

However, Liliana surprisingly only ordered a few of Ed's specialties, and after eating a big bite, she put down her plate and asked Ed the same question.

“...... Cooking, like magic, is something that makes people's lives better......"

Ed let out a low groan, only to realize that he had been lost in the interests all these years, and seemed to have lost something more important.

"Of the dishes on this table, only this one tastes good. ”

Liliana nudged one of the modest plates, pushing the dish in front of Ed.

"You taste it. ”

Ed was stunned when he saw the dish.

This is beef in sauce, and unlike other beef in sauce, this dish is made with beef marinated in a sauce from his hometown's specialty and served in a carefully prepared sauce, a dish taught to him by his mother, and one of Ed's most popular dishes when he was a street vendor.

Picking up a new fork, Ed took a bite of the beef in the sauce.

The juicy and delicious meat blooms in the mouth, the impact of the sauce and the tender beef form a harmonious symphony, and the special aroma lingers in the mouth until swallowed in the throat, and the aftertaste lingers in the mouth.

Although it is only a simple dish, it is very careful, whether it is the selection of beef, the preparation of sauces, or the cooking process, you can feel the chef's heart.

Ed felt a little sour in his nose and looked at Liliana, but the mage smiled.

"In three days, go to the Tower of Orange Light and be judged, and the rest is up to you. ”

"Okay, okay!"

Ed felt something in his heart touch, the corners of his eyes moistened, and he bowed to Liliana.

"Let's go. ”

Liliana said to the other two, and they didn't say much, just got up silently and followed Liliana out of the restaurant.

Only Ed was left, in the restaurant, in his heart, with mixed feelings.
