Chapter 81: Teaching Cooking
It is worthy of being the second largest chamber of commerce in the empire, and its efficiency is high. It was only the next day that Epdos sent someone to tell me that the chefs were already in place, and that they were not ordinary chefs, and that according to her, even if they were allowed to go directly to the hotel, it would not necessarily be worse than the Sky Blue Hotel, and I suspected that they might all be the imperial chefs in the palace. However, the biggest advantage of Sky Blue Hotel is that it has a very complete supply system of precious food. They have special personnel to purchase the corpses of demonic beasts in various places, obtain a large amount of beast meat from them, and put them in the space ring to continuously transport them in. The biggest advantage of the space ring is that the items in the ring are in a completely static state, and there will be absolutely no problems such as rotting. Therefore, even if the current chefs are not inferior to the Sky Blue Hotel in terms of cooking skills, it is still not easy to open a hotel that surpasses the Sky Blue. However, I have mastered the art of cooking, which can turn decay into magic, concocting the most delicious food from the most ordinary ingredients.
Naturally, the Lea Academy is not an ideal place to teach cooking, so Epdos also found a set of manors near the academy and gave it to me, which is considered to be paid in advance. Because the mainland has always been vast and sparsely populated, even in the prosperous imperial capital of Ostler, housing is still dominated by manors. Civilians could not afford to buy estates, so they had to live in the neighborhoods west of the city, where there were low-rise bungalows. The manors around Leia Academy, even compared to the aristocratic areas in the east of the city, are not much cheaper. The use of such an estate as an advance was definitely a large sum, and it was obvious that such a reward was absolutely unreasonable, and must have been the idea of King Rocala.
The next afternoon, accompanied by Epdos, I left the academy with a group of people from my apartment and came to the manor. After hearing about it, the Turks had great hopes for this hotel that had not yet opened, and at the same time they were surprised that I had an extra manor out of thin air, so they had to come and see it.
"Curator Long, this manor was specially given to you by the Feng Dance Chamber of Commerce in order to compensate you for the share you refused. Now, there are sixty samurai guards in the manor, and there are also sixty slaves, including thirty men and thirty women, all of whom are paid by the Chamber of Commerce.
Turning around in the manor, everyone can't help but be taken aback, this manor, covers an area of dozens of acres, there are pavilions and pavilions, flowers and trees, rockery stone forest, everything, and even a winding stream, flowing in the manor, the stream is crystal clear, all kinds of fish in the water shuttle back and forth, although there is no majestic grandeur of the general's mansion, but the scenery is beautiful, the winding path is quiet, and it is another scene.
Lan Ya exclaimed: "This is too exaggerated, isn't it! The hotel has not opened yet, so I will give you such a set of manors first, the Fengwu Chamber of Commerce is worthy of being the second chamber of commerce in the empire, it is really a big deal." ”
I was silent, my brows furrowed slightly, and I had begun to secretly regret agreeing to the joint hotel of Epdos. Looking at this posture, King Rokala obviously hasn't given up on encircling me, if he really accepts it, he will be short-handed, but I'm afraid that trouble will be inevitable in the future.
Filia's attention has been on me, seeing that I frowned, she said softly, "We still don't want this manor!" I turned around and looked around, and found that except for the innocent Nick and the naïve Lanya, the other people were all puzzled, and Qin Si frowned even more, with a worried face. Alice, on the other hand, was very unusual, not at all as happy and excited as the last time she first arrived at the apartment.
Smiling indifferently, I said to Epdos, who led the way: "I'm sorry, I really can't accept such a manor. For the time being, I can borrow it as a place to teach the art of cooking, and once the chefs have mastered the essentials of cooking, I have nothing to do with the estate. Although the tone is not high, there is incomparable firmness in the voice.
Epdos already felt bad after discovering that it was such a manor, but the value of this manor may not be much less than that of a large hotel, so as long as you think about it, you can find the problem. During this time, she also vaguely understood my temper from Filia, and knew that once I really made a decision, then it would definitely not change. Therefore, in addition to secretly scolding King Rokala for being too hasty, she could only smile and nod bitterly.
We were shocked to see the chefs. A row of twenty people dressed neatly in white chef robes, wearing high white hats, and neat skirts, and most importantly, these twenty people are all beautiful women, although they can't be compared with Fei Liya and others, they are also like flowers, fat and thin, which makes people dizzy.
Looking at Epdos suspiciously, she quickly explained: "I originally thought that it would be Sister Filia who taught cooking, so I made a special trip to find so many female chefs to come over, but I didn't expect ......"
I smiled slightly, and I couldn't help but be satisfied with their arrangement. I really don't have much interest in teaching them how to cook, but if I let Filia teach them, female chefs are naturally much better than male chefs. It's not that I don't think there's anything wrong with letting Filia teach a male chef, it's just that in terms of effect, male chefs are afraid that it will be difficult for them to be consistent in the face of her. However, it is really pleasing to watch so many beautiful female chefs frying, stewing, and frying together.
For several days, I spent half a day with Filia on the manor to teach cooking, even giving up my time to study magic. The reason I'm so passionate about this is that I don't want to eat the 'bad' food every time I go out to eat. I even hope to be able to use this to flourish China's 5,000-year-old culinary culture on this continent, and it would be ideal if I could eat good Chinese food everywhere I went.
It is still the royal palace of the Ostonian Empire, and it is still in the study, King Rokala frowned and listened to Epdos's report, and said, "You said that he rejected this manor without hesitation?"
Epdos replied coldly: "Yes, it is because the manor is so good that he refuses." ”
King Rocala was silent for a long time before he sighed, "I am indeed in a bit of a hurry. It's just that I'm so eager to get his help, if those elixirs are really obtained by himself, then his strength is definitely not as simple as a sword master. "The elixir has always been guarded by holy beasts, and the person who can get the elixir naturally can't just be a sword saint.
Epdos's voice was still cold, and he said: "It is precisely because of his strength that it is impossible to take money very seriously, with his strength, it is easy to ask for money." Moreover, I have never found a trace of hope in his eyes. "Naturally, I'm not without hope, it's just that with the cultivation of Xiaoyaojue, power and wealth are no longer things I care about. After all, Epdos and I have only known each other for a short time, so it is impossible to really understand me.
King Rokala was silent again, how can a person who has no hope take it for his own use?
Epdos was also silent, even though she had read countless people, it was the first time she had seen such an indifferent person. With her shrewdness, she naturally saw Qinsi's affection for me for a long time, and no human man on the continent could refuse the affection of a female elf, but I turned a blind eye. The sky-high price of the manor, I can give it up without hesitation, and even the hotel's share, I can automatically reduce most of it, such a person, will really serve King Rocara?
After a long time, King Rokala waved his hand and said, "Long Gutian's affairs, let's put it aside for the time being! In a short time, you will try to get closer to him, and the rest, let it be!"
On the way back to the academy, everyone was in high spirits, and the greedy Lanya and Rank, Nick took the opportunity to eat enough. One afternoon, I taught the chefs how to make more than 10 dishes, and although they are not authentic, they are all experienced chefs, so after a few experiments, they can already make delicious dishes. Of course, the dishes made were the first to be cheaper than a few of them.
Turk, however, was obsessed with the knife skills I showed when I was chopping vegetables. There are countless people on the earth who know the truth of the cow, but no one knows it here. Watching the kitchen knife in my hand rotate and move, cutting the materials into various needed forms in a blink of an eye, and quickly deburring and deboning all kinds of living creatures, he knew that in terms of skills, he was still far behind.
Compared with Teke, Qin Si, who is not skilled in martial arts, can see my knife skills for cutting vegetables more thoroughly. The physique of the elves is too advantageous in some aspects, and the good innate conditions give Qin Si a good eyesight far beyond that of humans. Turk can't see the knife skills clearly, but Qinsi can see ** is not far from ten. Seeing the little kitchen knife jumping in my hand like a dance, she was not only surprised, but also admired.
Filia is also studying cooking in monographs, and although I have taught her a lot before, she has not seen more dishes because of the lack of materials. Now, with the help of the food prepared by the Fengwu Chamber of Commerce, I happened to teach her a few dishes that she had never seen before, which can be regarded as a small abuse of power for personal gain. I think back then, when I was in the mountains, the old man collected countless recipes for me in order to satisfy his appetite for his tongue, and even if it was a nearly lost Manchu and Han banquet, I was able to come out in a decent manner. If you really want to teach, you can't teach it in a few years, and what Filia is now proficient in is only a small part of it.
