I was sure. This is a scenario where you become a cooking king, a craze in the genre novel world.
The main character uses his own taste to spread the taste of his hometown to the rest of the world!
Everyone from the rest of the world is blown away by the first taste, and from then on, the main character shares happiness with people through taste.
“Please listen to this old man. If you do something so dangerous, then how can I face the Count?”
“Ayu, take any face.”
However, I stepped into the kitchen, appropriately responding to the chef’s almost fainting words.
I was pretty excited now.
“miss!”
“I won’t disturb you. Instead, let me make a dish to go with the rice. Wouldn’t it be nice to add one more dish to fill the workforce?”
“Yeah, that’s right, but….”
The veteran chef trailed off.
It would have been possible to stop it, but looking at the fact that it couldn’t, it seems like there was a lack of manpower.
I was convinced when I saw that. This is the opportunity this novel gives me!
At this perfect timing, due to exquisite circumstances, an empty space arose in the kitchen.
Moreover, exquisitely enough, the original Elena was good at cooking, and I was also someone who had heard many times that I was good at cooking before I was possessed.
The setting is almost spoon-fed, so it’s definitely the story of Elena the Cooking Queen!
That’s it, this is it!
“Are you sure you want to help me, miss?”
“Okay. Is it because you’re questionable about my cooking skills?”
“Well, that can’t be possible! But it’s shameful to have the young lady even prepare a meal for a banquet like this…”
“No, I really want to cook right now. I don’t have time, so let’s go cook quickly.”
I tapped the chef, who was still confused, on the shoulder and entered the kitchen.
The servants and maids in the kitchen all looked surprised when they saw me.
But when the chef came in, no one complained.
Of course, even in the Cooking King scenario, there are things to be careful about.
Each person has foods that they should not eat due to allergies or other reasons, while there are foods that they absolutely want to try in their life.
If you remember the contents of this book, you will be able to obtain useful information about the likes and dislikes of the main characters.
‘Unfortunately, I can’t remember now.’
But I didn’t think I needed personal information right now. Because I checked something with the eyes of an eagle.
It was the ‘maturation period’.
“You know, that drastically shortens the ripening time, right?”
“Do you know? I thought you didn’t know how to use it because you’ve never used it before… but you can control the temperature and time. It can shorten the time by up to two months, so I use it sometimes. Do you want to use it?”
“huh.”
Of course, this is my first time seeing this machine. Isn’t this a machine made with magic?
In addition, it comes with a very convenient setting that dramatically shortens the ripening time.
It is probably not a simple coincidence that a machine with such an appropriate and convenient setting is located in this place.
In most cooking king scenarios, there is a dish that everyone likes, regardless of likes or dislikes.
‘That’s the most representative basic dish eaten in the protagonist’s country!’
Although there may be differences in likes and dislikes in the protagonist’s country, everyone in the rest of the world likes it!
Because the Cooking King scenario is that kind of scenario!
Not only the ripening period, but also the ingredients in the refrigerator supported my cooking king hypothesis.
There is plenty of cabbage, plenty of garlic and green onions, and even ginger. There was also thin salted fish and bright red pepper powder.
I think I just need to be able to make glutinous rice paste… … .
“Do you have any glutinous rice powder?”
“Yes? What?”
“No, that’s enough.”
I’m obsessed with Western fantasy, but where can I get this much material?
You can make kimchi without glutinous rice paste.
That’s right, kimchi! I was planning to make kimchi, the main dish for the people.
It has been said for a long time that there is nothing easier than a game where you know how to play.
Now, I will become the ultimate chef who will tame this country to the Korean taste with kimchi and fluffy rice!
The banquet has begun.
A lot of gorgeous dishes were served.
The chef asked if I would like to explain the dish I made myself.
“This is my first time seeing this dish, so wouldn’t it be more accurate if you explained it to me?”
“Of course. Then I’ll bring food to serve to His Highness Prince Klaus and His Highness Prince Rudiot.”
“That’s a good idea. The mood will improve if you explain it yourself.”
The Countess cooked the food herself, and I wondered if it would be okay to serve it herself, but it seemed okay for a fantasy book rather than a historical piece.
When I looked at this ambiguous setting, I thought that my kimchi would be very popular, even if the probability was lacking.
I came out of the banquet hall at the time scheduled with the chef, proudly held two plates of kimchi, and stood at the head of the maids.
“Today, Lady Elena personally prepared exotic food for precious people.”
The explanation continued to draw attention to me. Everyone in the venue looked at me at once.
‘Wow, it’s a bit burdensome… … .’
Only then did I start to notice the unique aroma and spicy taste of kimchi.
It suits my taste, but what if I cry and complain because it’s spicy for no reason?
I calmed my trembling heart and walked to the seat where the two princes were sitting.
Several maids followed me to bring bowls of kimchi to other tables.
‘I’m nervous, I’m nervous!’
As Klaus and Rudyard watched, I saw one of the prince’s servants in the corner coming towards me.
I feel like they are coming to help me because my posture looks unstable… … .
“uh?”
“Miss, be careful…!”
Before I could finish speaking, I fell over.
The red soup from the kimchi he was holding poured over the servants in a circular trajectory.
“Ahh…! The eyes, the eyes…!”
The banquet hall suddenly became noisy.
I looked in vain at my empty hands.
My sprained ankle was sore and painful, but more than that, I was astonished by my plan to conquer the world of cooking that had failed so miserably.
Then I soon became frustrated.
I was tempted by kimchi.
Making kimchi is a million times more difficult than grilling pork belly!
No, it’s incomparably hard! I went through all this hardship and fell!
‘It’s like a damn novel!’
You’ve been interfering with my love life, and now you’re interfering with my career path as well?
It was a moment when I was alone in the commotion and burning with anger. Rudeat, who was looking at me and the fallen attendant with a worried expression, came towards me.
okay. Wouldn’t you feel a little better if the handsome prince comforted you?
“Are you okay, Le… just a moment?”
… … Wait a minute, what about my comfort?
Rudyard came to me as if he was going to comfort me, but stopped before he even got close to me.
He bent down and picked up something the servant had dropped on the floor. It was a bag containing sharp needles.
“This is a poisonous sting.”
A poisonous stinger? Why does the imperial servant have a poisonous stinger?
A lot of scenarios came together in my head and my heart became very cold.
What kind of ridiculous development is this?
“……There wouldn’t have been anything like a poisonous needle used as an escort weapon for the imperial servants.”
At Rudeat’s words, a cold wave settled inside the hall.
At a banquet attended by princes, an assassin with a poisonous needle appeared.
The poor servants and maids, even the count and countess, all focused on us with pale faces.
Even the imperial servant who had been hit in the face with kimchi looked quite pale.
I looked pitifully at my kimchi that had been used to defeat the assassin.
“And apparently this… our servant dropped it.”
I could feel Rudeat’s voice gradually becoming colder. As a result, the inside of the hall became even more frozen.
The attendant, whose face was covered in red soup, trembled and shook his head, but could not hide his disappointment.
Shouldn’t you at least not let ordinary people like me know what you’re up to? What kind of assassin is so sloppy?
“Oh, no. It’s just something you use for sewing. Your Highness!”
“Is that so? Even though there is no hole for the thread. I wonder where on earth it is threaded.”
“Well, that’s not it! It’s not poison anyway!”
Rudyard’s expression became increasingly frozen. This is because it was clear that it was poison as the silver that touched the tip of the stinger changed color to black.
“When I touch silver, the color changes. Isn’t this still poison?”
“It’s just an object that changes color when it comes into contact with silver!”
Hey, hey. Please give me an excuse that makes sense.
Or, can’t you at least wipe off the dirty juice from your face and tell me?
It’s heartbreaking to see all the hours of hard work I’ve put in just dripping off some idiot’s face?
Our poor people from the count family were watching Rudiot with disdain.
Hey, I burned this body with kimchi and caught the assassin, so hurry up and take him away. Our weak-hearted Count will collapse like that.
If you think about it, it was their servant who caused the accident, so why are they making such a fuss and ruining the atmosphere of the party at someone else’s house?
It was just then that I was grumbling in my heart.
“Is that a poisonous stinger?”
A low, husky voice that caught my ear resonated through the space.
The black-haired prince, Klaus, was standing there.
He narrowed his dark red eyes and grinned.
“older brother.”
“Give it to me.”
Klaus snatched the poison needle from Rudeat’s hand. I looked at that figure blankly.
“Did you want to stab me with this dangerous object?”
“Your Majesty, I am not like that….”
“How were you going to stab me? Like this?”
“……!”
At that moment, the atmosphere in the hall froze once again.
This is because Klaus stuck an obviously poisonous needle into my wrist.
