Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 19. Because it’s delicious

“Dylan!”

“What? Am I the only one who returned? It looks like a few guild members are still in line.”

“Yeah. Everyone said there was a line.”

“What are you doing?”

“I waited for you.”

“…No queues?”

“hahahaha. I’m sorry buddy. I hate waiting in line.”

“……”

Dylan put his hand on his forehead.

“A bastard named Bugilma… Can’t set an example for the guild members.”

“Ah, what’s wrong. You know I’m naturally like this.”

Dylan returned to the guild hideout he had prepared in the corner of the commercial district of Palais.

Several of his colleagues were waiting for him.

More precisely, the dishes he brought with him.

“How did it taste? What about the buffs?”

“I haven’t eaten yet either. They say eating is forbidden in the temple.”

“Really?”

“Uh, the crowd was so crowded that I couldn’t handle it.”

Dylan took out the purchased dishes from his inventory and set them down on the table.

“Ohhh, is this? Doesn’t look very special. Is this soy sauce?”

“You know when you see it.”

“Hmm… Killing the incense? Can I eat it first?”

“No.”

“Huh? Oh, why? You’re saying I didn’t stand in line? Now?”

Dylan was dumbfounded.

He sighed and opened his mouth.

“I have to appraise it. I have to accurately determine the buff effect. Who is a subclass appraiser here?”

Several guild members raised their hands.

“Who has the highest class level?”

“Me.”

“Then hurry up and do an appraisal. Not a normal appraisal, but an insight.”

“By Insight?”

“Yes. We need to extract as much information as possible.”

“Okay. Change class for a moment.”

Guild members instantly transformed and activated their emotion skills.

All of the information on Pajeon has been disclosed to everyone here.

“This, this…”

“What, what’s so complicated? What kind of explanation is attached to just one dish as much as a legendary item!”

“Be quiet! I’m reading it right now. I can’t concentrate. Concentrate!”

For a while, no one spoke.

I ruminated over the contents of the description one by one.

What does it mean?

What impact will it have?

Just like that, there was a brief moment of silence.

“…You must catch it.”

Dylan spoke again.

“Huh?”

“The guy who made this. You must get it!”

“Yeah, right? Actually, that’s what I was thinking too.”

The effect was crazy.

It’s to the point of telling me to go away with the cash dish.

‘I heard that the movement speed was increased…’

Dylan lit his eyes and looked around him.

“Isn’t there anyone in our guild who chose a subclass chef?”

No answer came back.

He narrowed his eyes and shouted again.

“Damn it! Tell all the guild members from now on! Whether it’s an acquaintance or just passing by, if anyone has chosen the chef subclass, be sure to let me know! Oh, don’t make me hate you for saying strange things!”

Dylan was ready to rush out again.

“Now, hold on a minute, Dylan. What are you up to?”

“Why do you ask for the obvious? I need to go back to that man and talk to him.”

“Aren’t you in a hurry?”

“……”

That wasn’t a mistake.

I was supposed to visit again in the evening, but I won’t gain anything if I run right now and try sugar coating.

“Calm down. Let’s taste it first. It says here that it tastes best an hour after cooking. There’s only 30 minutes left.”

“You…”

“Why! Wasn’t the taste the top priority in cooking?”

“Haa…”

“And you shouldn’t have to check if the buff actually works.”

“Yes. That’s true.”

“Look!”

Bugilma ate some of the green onion.

He wondered if he had taken too much soy sauce, but his reaction was quite different from what he expected.

“Uhhhhh. Well, well… Kwaaa… What is this? Why is it so delicious?”

“To exaggerate.”

“Is it real? You should try it too. Are you saying you’re telling me to go away from high-end cuisine sold in this world?”

Dylan picked up a piece of leek from the table and gently dipped it in soy sauce.

Not devouring like a bugilma, but very carefully, as if enjoying fine cuisine.

The piece eventually went into his mouth.

The first taste of the spicy soy sauce.

The strong scent of chives immediately followed.

Finally, the soft texture of the flour stimulated my tongue.

‘Um…’

Amazing.

I don’t know what secret seasoning is hidden, but the main ingredients are just wheat and chives.

How can such a flavor be created with such common ingredients?

Next.

I wanted to eat another piece quickly.

“You’re crazy…”

“Isn’t it? Am I right?”

“Be quiet. Don’t disturb the meal. I was the one who bought this in line.”

“Ah… hahahaha… Yes. Thank you very much to tears.”

One plate was emptied in an instant.

Right away, buff messages were launched sequentially in the air.

From noble mtl dot com

“It might be more difficult than I thought.”

“Why all of a sudden?”

“The taste… And the buff… He sells such amazing things at such a price. I don’t see his desire at all.”

“Ah, that? Our guild’s catchphrase, that you can make a lot of money by knowing your opponent’s desires? Wasn’t that what Dylan decided?”

Dylan quietly closed his eyes.

I wanted to shut that guy’s mouth somehow.

‘I look forward to the future more than now. The hidden message confirmed by Insight said that some buffs are affected by the class level and characteristics.’

Few people foolishly set their attributes to 100.

Since he was just a well-known chef, at best he would have been at attribute level 50-60.

The class level will also belong to the low axis.

If that is the case, if there is a possibility that the level of the attribute or class will increase further in the future, the effect of the buff will also increase more than it is now.

‘Must…’

Finding another chef is only the next best thing.

You must bring him into the guild.

‘It’s going to be fun.’

It’s just that I’m getting tired of it.

Since I decided to give up on raiding the higher dungeons and live in this world, the goal is, of course, the top.

Whether it was power or money.

It is not okay to live and die like this.

Dylan began to think carefully about how to appease a man named Jeon Tae-min.

* * *

“Ah… It’s finally over…”

“Mister Mister! You made a lot of money today!?”

“You all did a great job. I will never forget this grace. And tomorrow… Take care of me.”

At my remark to take care of me tomorrow, the children’s faces began to turn pale and die.

“But tomorrow won’t be as busy as today.”

“Yes? Why? Now that rumors have spread, more will come.”

“Actually, starting tomorrow, we’re going to raise the price tenfold.”

“Hey, hey, ten times?”

“Yes. It can’t be helped. We can’t fight a war like this every day. Preparing materials is also a job. Most of all, you guys don’t always help.”

The two girls looked at each other’s faces and asked me back.

“I can continue to help you if you want. The body is tired and exhausted… But the rewards are good.”

“That’s right! Above all, you can eat Uncle’s cooking without any desire. hehehe.”

“Really? Aren’t you adventurers? What about dungeons?”

“Ah, dungeons are all for making money. Well, this side is safer and you can make a lot more money, so why would you do something risky? Of course, there is a problem that you have to keep using it…”

It’s dangerous.

Yes, it’s dangerous.

However, even adventurers earn quite a bit of money.

Even if you don’t know it now, if you become a great adventurer later, if you become a warrior in the world, you can get a lot of money and honor.

Items left behind by powerful bosses are worth more than you can imagine.

However, this is the road to the edge of a cliff where you have to risk your life.

Not everyone can choose that path.

Perhaps my previous way of thinking was the stereotype of someone who encountered this world as a game.

Of course, it was because I had a desire to return to my family.

‘There is nothing more precious than life.’

It’s not like the dungeon is running out of control and monsters are attacking the village right now.

At least in the beginner area here.

Of course, everyone wants to make money safely.

‘But that doesn’t mean we can’t take children and exploit labor.’

“Come on, take it.”

“Huh? What is this? Aren’t we paid by the adventurer’s guild?”

“That’s a quest reward, and this is an incentive.”

“Incentives?”

“As much as I sold today, I’m giving you a certain portion as a bonus.”

“Ohhh, can I really take this?”

I handed the money to the two girls with a smile.

“A cow, a cow, a cow, a cow?”

One gold coin each.

Today’s sales are over 20 salt coins, so it’s not a big amount.

“Mister?”

“Take it. Thanks to you guys, I’ve made a lot of money.”

“But… Such a lot of money…”

“Thank you! Hee hee. I’ll buy a cane with this.”

Unlike Mumu, Melissa greeted her neatly.

He is a really cool guy.

“Hurry up and put the mumu in. Don’t forget it. Wouldn’t it be nice to use this opportunity to upgrade your equipment?”

“Thank you.”

“I am also grateful to the two of you. If it were me alone, I would never have sold this much.”

We looked at each other for a while and laughed.

My body was tired, but I felt refreshed.

‘Starting tomorrow, I’ll do my business a little more leisurely.’

At that time, Mumu clapped his hands and looked around.

“Where did Lemon sister go?”

I also looked around.

“Hey, isn’t that it?”

In the middle of the plaza, in front of the statue of a god, there was a man dozing with his chin resting.

Thanks to the ugly plate armor, you could recognize it at a glance.

“Sister yi!”

Her children run to pick her up.

I am standing still looking at it.

‘But why did that woman appear here?’

Three people are approaching us before we know it.

I was staring at her face.

“Hello Mr. Lemon? What are you doing here?”

“That… Nothing… Nothing.”

“Yes?”

While she hesitated, Mumu helped her.

“Of course I came because I wanted to eat.”

I opened her eyes wide and looked at her face.

“Really?”

“Oh, no! It’s not like that at all!”

She would never admit it, but the children looked at me with a knowing smile.

“Mister, do you have any ingredients left?”

“Of course. Mr. Lemon, what kind of pancake would you like? The business was broken and only leek pancakes, but Mr. Lemon will give you a special pancake. Oh, you like potato pancakes? Would you like that first?”

“That’s not like that!”

I asked with a disappointed expression.

“Then why not…?”

“Oh, no… Go, please give me potato pancakes.”

She never made eye contact with me, but her flushed cheeks represented her feelings.

And the tone you just talked about.

“Puff… Keuh… Uhhhhh.”

“Why… Why are you laughing!?”

“Mister, why are you laughing? Mumu, Mister, why are you laughing all of a sudden?”

“Well… I’m fine…”

When I suddenly laughed loudly, everyone looked puzzled.

In particular, she was pouting her lips as her face grew even hotter.

“Ah, excuse me. Kuhmm… I’ll make potato pancakes right away.”

I almost got into trouble.

You can’t control your emotions and laugh openly.

‘Whew… Was this a character anyway?’

At first, I thought he was a rude and rude guy.

But the more I look at it, the more interesting it is.

They kept ticking off and saying ‘please’ only when ordering potato pancakes at the end.

‘Puff…’

It seems that what I said last time is still having an effect.

Yikes. You have to be careful.

She is going to cry again.

“Well, really… I didn’t come all the way here to eat…”

He greeted the woman who kept trying to make excuses with a smile.

“Thank you very much, Mr. Lemon.”

She was taken aback by the sudden expression of gratitude.

“It was the first time I knew that someone came from far away to eat my food. It was the first time I knew that it was such a joy. Thanks to Lemon, I felt a lot of pride today. I think I did a really good job as a cook.”

“……”

She didn’t try to make excuses anymore.

I didn’t even shout that the reason I came here was because of the cooking.

The first words she uttered after hesitating like that.

Her words shook me once more.

“Eh, it’s delicious… Your cooking…”
