Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 48. Limited to 200 servings

“Mister… Those people earlier…”

Lemon looks at me.

She’s definitely the one who understands my feelings the most, probably because she’s had a similar experience to mine.

“Okay. We’ve definitely cut ties now. We won’t see each other again.”

“Looks like they’re here to buy you some food.”

“After you said that in front of me, you wouldn’t be standing in line to buy a dish? Of course, you didn’t know that I was the cook.”

I smiled lightly.

“Did you do that on purpose? You said you needed money.”

“Yes. If I just passed by, it seemed like we would run into each other again. I definitely wanted to tie the knot. Besides, if I hadn’t stepped forward, you and Lemon would have been in trouble.”

“What are you saying! I was just thinking about doing it.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

When I thanked her frankly, Lemon blushed as if she was embarrassed.

It wasn’t as much as him, but Mumu and Melissa, who had read the atmosphere and were quiet, also helped each other out.

“Never sell to people like that! They don’t deserve to eat your cooking!”

“That’s right! I’d rather have a Melissa! I’ll eat it all!”

Not only the two girls, but even Rin, who was being held by Mumu, clenched her fists and made a determined expression.

I was standing there with a slightly surprised face from the wind, but I replied with a smile.

“Okay. OK, now let’s prepare for the business. I have a lot of work to do before the business starts today.”

When I stood in front of them, I felt very uncomfortable.

When I heard insulting words that I shouldn’t say in front of my children, I wanted to punch them in the face right away.

But now it’s okay.

Now that I have these guys by my side.

Level doesn’t matter.

It doesn’t matter what class you are, how good your equipment is, or how helpful it is in battle.

I just need to be able to say it clearly.

This person is on my side.

No matter what happens, you can believe in it.

Could this be a real colleague?

I don’t know if that’s why, but now I feel like I can laugh at any insult.

Rather, I feel sorry for them.

“Welcome. Chef.”

The street vendors who had been recruited in advance greeted them.

I also greeted him warmly.

Since they found out that I was the one who developed that ‘ex’, they treat me respectfully regardless of my age.

“Are you ready?”

“Sure. I set it perfectly just like you showed me yesterday.”

“Then I’ll start right away. Start preparing for business.”

“I will. Hey, what do you guys do! The chef says to prepare the business!”

They were busy moving.

I also switched to my chef’s outfit and started cooking.

“Lemon, pour that over here.”

“Yes.”

“Melissa, make sure the fire isn’t too strong.”

“Yes! It’s suitable now.”

“Mumu keeps people away from behind stalls.”

“How is Rin doing?”

“Take care of it for a little bit. I’ll have it when the soup is warmed up.”

“Yes!”

The soup prepared in advance was poured into twenty huge pots in turn.

Half potato soup, half button mushroom soup.

This is not my original recipe, but a recipe I learned from the chef at Yeongju Castle.

Of course, there is no special buff effect at all, and since the existing recipe is used, the increasing stat value is also shabby.

‘Although it rises significantly due to its characteristics, compared to rice bowls…’

But it doesn’t matter.

Most of the people who came to eat my food here in the plaza are regular residents of Salem, and the buff effect doesn’t matter too much to them.

The most important thing is rather the taste and price.

‘It’s not the best dish, but it’s important to sell delicious food at a reasonable price.’

Twenty pots are slowly heating up.

The street vendors who were hired in advance take turns stirring the pot to prevent the soup from sticking to the bottom.

The soup was made in advance yesterday, but if you warm it up like this and sell it, you can enjoy the taste not much different from when you first made it.

It was a desperate measure to calm people’s dissatisfaction when food prices were raised, but it is by no means a dry dish.

Serve a ladleful of soup on a plate, slice Salem bread on top, and sprinkle with parsley to complete.

Those in need of protein can add freshly grilled bacon or sausage toppings separately from the stall on the far right.

“Let’s start business! A bowl of soup for a silver coin!”

It was the existing street vendors who started taking orders from the long line of ten stalls.

If you leave it to them, who are veterans, there will be no problems with today’s business.

“Only one silver coin? It says on the bulletin board that they also sell cheap food, isn’t this cheaper than before?”

“By the way, the menu… Common soup and bread? That’s what I eat every morning…”

“Is it the same as your wife’s? It’s made by that chef over there! If you don’t want to eat, come out! Don’t make the line unnecessarily long!”

“Who, who doesn’t eat? That’s what the horse is saying.”

Cheers erupted here and there over the low price.

The line created in an instant continued endlessly backwards.

“If this is enough, I can leave it here, right?”

“Of course! Chef. Trust us!”

“Cook man! Keep your promise! Do I have to give you the recipe?”

“Yes. Don’t worry. Call me right away if you have any problems.”

With this, one thing is roughly finished.

I picked up Rin from Mumu’s arms and moved to the farthest corner of the plaza where there were no stalls in her arms.

‘A stroller would be convenient.’

I carried Rin on my back with a makeshift cloth.

She doesn’t have a lady who works on her back in the market in an old drama, but she hates Rin going into the inventory, so she can’t help it.

When I am having a hard time, seeing his face gives me energy.

‘Then let’s start soon.’

Now is the start of the business in earnest.

I took out the existing stalls that I made myself from the inventory.

“Mumu, install the menu.”

“Yes!”

“Melissa takes the order, and Lemon warm up the tortilla like you said yesterday. It’s already finished, so you just need to warm it up a little. Also, don’t burn it like yesterday.”

“Don’t burn! Yesterday was the first time, so it was like that!”

“Do you believe?”

“Hmph.”

Today’s menu is tacos.

Pork bulgogi tacos made with wheat tortillas.

[Skill: Fusion Cooking has been activated.]

The message that appeared the moment the tortilla development was successful.

Thanks to this skill, I was able to complete the new menu without much difficulty.

Not only pork bulgogi tacos, but also tacos using Carlisle wild boar or lake water buffalo.

‘Thanks to that, I raised my level easily.’

In the future, if the lord brings you lots of new meat, you won’t have to worry about leveling up for the time being.

Next, you can go to Fallon for a while and ask the lord there to get some meat.

And then ask the owner of Lucky Land to hold a meat auction?

‘It’s a bit cunning, but…’

You don’t have to deliberately go back the hard way while leaving the easy way.

The old habit of only focusing on efficiency has come out, but to solve the ordeal of the upcoming demon invasion, you need to level up quickly.

And I need to raise my attributes as soon as possible.

“Let’s start business! New menu Salem Pork Bulgogi Tacos!”

First of all, I have to earn money today.

* * *

“Whoa, whoa, hororob… Kyaa! What kind of soup tastes like this?”

“Where, me too…!? This umami in this meatless mushroom soup…”

“The potato soup is so crazy. It’s too savory even if it’s savory. It doesn’t smell like freshness at all! How the hell is it different from the one my wife made, so it tastes like this?”

“The soup I’ve been eating is garbage… Ha ha. Slurp. Kyaa… Slurp…”

“Dip it in bread and eat it! This is a delicacy, isn’t it?”

People still standing in line were salivating at the fuss that the people receiving the soup started.

“I need another bowl.”

“Arthur, look at the line over there. It’s not okay to eat more today.”

“But in case you don’t know!”

Many players lined up among noisy residents.

They were no different.

Drooling, some restless.

Even though there were many people in line, it was because there were too many.

“Certainly, it will come by my turn, right?”

“Perhaps? Twenty pots. Twenty pots. It would take a thousand people in front of me to empty them all? They only sell one portion at a time.”

The two people in charge of the finances of Demon Slash also stood in the back row trying to save face.

The fact that the consolation distance is ahead of the angelic slime guys.

But just now, the angelic guys disappeared from sight.

The belatedly discovered ones were heading towards a corner of the plaza.

“What is it? Wasn’t this line? What else is over there?”

“Looks like they’re selling another menu over there?”

“Mistress, what the hell is this! They sell it here!”

“Why, it was written on the bulletin board. They sell cheap food and expensive food. It’s cheap here because it’s only one silver coin, but I think the other side is expensive?”

“Why are you saying that now! Stupid!”

“……”

“What are you doing? Run fast!”

A stall open at a location away from other stalls to minimize congestion.

A huge wooden structure about 3 meters tall was installed next to the stall.

“Um, is that a menu?”

“Can’t you see it?”

The contents of the menu were as follows.

[Crazy Buff Restaurant]

– Launch of new menu Salem Pork Bulgogi Taco –

– Price 2,000 gold per person (this price only for today) –

– Eatable within 1 week –

– Limited to 200 servings, only 1 serving per person –

– When sold out, special dishes will be sold –

– Fruit Juice Service –

“Tacos? That one sold on the street?”

“Isn’t that American food? I think I’ve seen it sold in trucks.”

“It must be Mexican food?”

Unexpectedly, few people were surprised by the high price of 2,000 gold.

Most of the people who ran here were high-level players.

Rather, the suspicion was flowing from the other side.

“If food that only lasts for a week costs 2,000 gold, then the buff effect is greater than Legendary Cash food, right?”

“Didn’t you hear the rumors? They said transfers were attached.”

“Hmm…”

“They used a buff effect on the menu! What do you need to know to buy and eat!”

At that time, another menu board was erected.

Again, it was a giant menu board with a height of 3 meters.

What was written was, of course, the buff effect of today’s menu.

It was briefly summarized, but it was more than enough to catch everyone’s attention.

– Strength +100, Intelligence +100, Stamina +100

– Max HP increased by 17%

– Buff duration 300 minutes

“A 100 increase in 3 stats plus an HP increase?”

“There is no transfer?”

“That was a different dish.”

“But is this crazy? If HP is increased to 100 HP, the party’s safety will increase significantly in boss fights!”

“If your strength and intelligence level is 100, then the basic damage will increase by 500 due to weighting? Then the skill damage will be more inflated. Aren’t you crazy?”

“Hey! What are you doing? All of our parties line up quickly!”

“We are first!”

Taemin’s worries were unfounded.

Those who saw the buff effect began to line up one after another without hesitation.

Moreover, the line was endlessly long, to the point where the limited sale of 200 servings was overshadowed.

But there was a group of people watching.

“Minchul oppa… The cook we were trying to scout was… Taemin oppa?”

“……”

“Wow, f*ck it, it’s so twisted…”

“Come to think of it… Taemin oppa’s assistant class was a chef…”

Yoo Hye-soo said quietly.

Everyone in her stares at her with her piercing eyes.

“Did I say something wrong?”

“Haa…”

“Hyung! What are we going to do now? Did we mess around for a week then?”

“Just go back to Fallon brother! Oh, I hate it so much! f*cking pride! Let’s get out of here!”

“Suyeon is right, Mincheol. You can’t stand in line without shame. Let’s just go.”

“Hey Myungsik Park! What did you say? Shame? What shame?”

“I mean…”

“It’s that bastard who needs to be shamed. Not us!”

Kim Min-cheol’s expression was savagely distorted.

“That bastard… Didn’t you see he deliberately asked for a loan earlier, knowing that he was the chef we were looking for? Deep down, he was laughing at us like that. Right now! Ha, f*ck… What a scumbag. .”

“Brother…”

“That bastard really pisses me off…”

“Brother? What are you going to do?”

“What can I do? I have to get revenge.”

Kim Min-cheol bit his molars tightly.

“Let’s see. I’ll definitely pay you back for this disgrace.”

Kim Min-cheol and his party turned around with an expression of wanting to poop.

“Get out of the way! Don’t block the road, get out of the way! Did you rent this place?”

Taking out my anger on the residents of Salem who were standing in line for no reason, I headed towards the center of the city.

I did not go to the temple where the warp portal between regions is located.

Apparently, there were more things to do in this city.
