Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 89. The sound of money rolling

That’s the soup I temporarily sold in Salem’s square to distract people.

At the time, the sale price was only 1 silver.

Thanks to my own cooking, the taste improved and there was a buff effect, but I couldn’t say it was a great dish.

Isn’t it even my original recipe?

‘Something like that…’

I made it by imitating the recipe of the chef at Salem Lord’s Castle, but I’m feeding it to the kings and lords of each country under my name?

Is that only soup?

‘Of course, it’s not that it’s not tasteless…’

No matter how much it was, I couldn’t leave it like this because of my pride as a chef.

I approached Mr. Pierre, who was smiling happily as he watched the people who started eating, and questioned him.

I didn’t raise my voice in case anyone saw it.

“Pierre! This is a different story.”

“Yes?”

“No, what if I serve only soup? Didn’t I tell you to eat it with other food?”

“Ah… Huh, it’s okay. Jeon Tae-min’s dish is so delicious that you get a shiver just by eating a spoonful of it. Rather, I’m afraid that the original taste will be covered up by the tasteless bread.”

“Still, this seems like they’re making fun of them. And, you didn’t say a word that you were going to serve them in front of them in the first place! Even that was mass-produced all at once…”

While large-volume cooking of food has the advantage of being able to produce a large amount at once, you cannot expect high-class products such as luxury dishes or a la carte dishes.

That’s because it takes less sincerity.

I also fully understood this.

‘Of course, I’m confident in the taste, but…’

That’s not a dry soup by any means.

Even though it was made in large quantities, I was confident in the taste.

But.

‘I can make it better…’

I am a person who can make even greater dishes.

This means that you can make dishes with greater care, greater taste, and buff effects.

But, out of all my dishes, why do I gather those people who have eaten only the most delicious dishes in the world and serve them simple, fast-paced, large-capacity soup?

Leaving aside all the other bragging dishes?

Of course, I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

My skills aren’t that great.

Just one bite can make you burst into admiration.

How delicious was the recently made sweet and sour pork?

People who see the buff effect for the first time will roll their eyes.

‘Yes. Buff…’

Once again, the dishes people are eating now are not my original recipes.

It is a very simple dish with only 3 increase in intelligence and stamina even for the basic buff effect.

Of course, thanks to the characteristics invested so far, the number has been amplified to 54.

‘But that’s not enough…’

Just a few minutes ago, I announced that I would give my cooking as a reward to anyone who risked their lives to fight off the demonic invasion.

But, of course, the next dish served was that soup.

Then surely people will misunderstand.

That soup is the reward.

Or, even if not, the buffs would be similar.

‘Of course, people who eat the tacos sold in Felon and know the buff effect are different, but…’

When I conveyed these thoughts to Pierre, he smiled wide instead of apologizing.

I’m not kidding people.

“Why are you laughing? If people really misunderstand, all the low-level territories could be ruined. Shouldn’t the high-level summoners come to support you only when the reward is reasonable?”

“Heh, you’re in a hurry. I just scooped a spoonful of soup and put it in my mouth. Look, everyone is amazed.”

He shifted his gaze.

People who have tasted the soup continue to express their admiration.

Not only the lords, but even Everett Lowell, who stood out among them, closed his eyes and savored the taste.

“Hmm…”

“Heh heh, what an amazingly delicious soup.”

“The scent… The scent of mushrooms was so sweet.”

Even the people who tasted the tacos were in a frenzy.

The entire bowl was emptied in an instant, and people were pouring in asking for more.

“Delicious! I’ve never had such delicious soup in my life!”

“Grandpa! Your voice is too loud.”

The King of Heroes and his children.

“The taste is unbelievable. Are humans eating this every day? That’s not fair.”

“Are mushrooms different? Mushrooms grown by humans can’t taste better than mushrooms grown in our forests…”

“Your Majesty! Try it all. I ate it all, and suddenly my status readings… This is really a buff dish!”

The elves also couldn’t keep up and made a fuss.

Most of the other tables responded the same way.

And.

The reputation level was rising endlessly.

Even 3 or 5 points went up at once, and I guessed that it was because the people gathered here had a strong influence on those around them.

“Look, Mr. Jeon Tae-min. You need to take a little more pride in your cooking.”

‘I don’t think I’ve ever been humble…’

“And this is not the end of the event I have prepared.”

“Yes? An event?”

Mr. Pierre grinned.

I read an unknown desire in that face.

‘What else are you going to do…’

Pair! Match!

He clapped his hands twice, and this time the doors on either side of the podium swung wide open.

The lighting in the hall gradually dimmed, and only the lights illuminating the podium shone dazzlingly.

“I’ll excuse you during the meal. You can eat slowly and watch over it, so there’s no need to stop your hands. Okay, then. We’ll start a special event from now on. We have prepared a more special dish. However, since it is such a precious dish, please understand that we cannot serve it to everyone here.”

People who were eating started talking loudly.

All of a sudden, they seemed very curious about what they were going to do.

Complaints weren’t that great.

It was because he had already tasted the surprisingly delicious soup.

Because of this, the anticipation of what the hell would happen after this was rather strong.

“Then, from now on! We will start a special auction targeting only the backbone of the world here!”

‘No way…’

No way this person.

Are you going to forcefully sell the dish you took from me the other day to the lords?

There are no world-class rich people here, and no nobles who have amassed overflowing wealth.

However, there are many kings and lords who go even further than that.

In addition, the people who accompanied him as companions were also representatives of various fields.

The situation is right before the demon army invades the front yard of the people here.

There is probably no time and place where I can sell my buff dishes at a higher price than here and at this moment.

“Among all the people gathered here, we’ll see who will have the biggest distribution in the world!”

Pod!

At the same time he touched the pride of the rulers, a huge white cloth came down and covered the wall in front of the podium.

And on that cloth, information was written about the items to be auctioned off.

“The first auction dish! Orc Tenderloin Bulgogi Taco! Starts at 1 million gold!”

An auction that sells only the dishes I made, and only those with the modifier ‘Excellent’, has just begun.

* * *

“Lord of Sepak, 2.6 Million gold!”

The total number of dishes to be sold here today was a secret.

“Angelic Slime Master 2.7 Million gold!”

It was also a secret which buff dish would be sold in the future.

“Hey, the King of Heroes just called 3 million gold! Any more!?”

I didn’t know how rare the dishes on sale were, or how much effort went into making them.

“Angelic slime master Everett Lowell again 3.5 Million gold!”

But people didn’t ask any questions.

He simply lifted the small silver and gold sign placed in front of his table nonstop.

“Felonia lord 4 million gold!”

It was inevitable.

The buff effect of the dish floating in the center of the podium was just as great.

And it was shocking.

“The King of Heroes again 4.1 Million gold!”

I was gaping at the scene.

Because the value of the food I cooked myself, no one else, was skyrocketing endlessly right here, right in front of my eyes.

“Demon slash master’s first participation! The price soars to 5 million gold at once!”

Chicken skin sprouted all over his body.

‘Oh, five million gold?’

The dish currently being auctioned was tacos made with oak meat.

‘Still… I haven’t even started cooking high oak meat…’

“This time, the Fairy King participated for the first time! 5.1 Million gold!”

“The King of Heroes again has 5.2 Million…”

“The Angelic Slime Master who participated in the battle again received 5.3 Million gold.”

How far will prices rise?

Don’t these people know that better dishes are sold after this?

Perhaps the person I am most shocked by is myself.

For some reason, I thought that would be the case.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Damn rich people…’

But Mr. Pierre took another drink.

“Hmm, this is going to make the event too long. I can’t take up more of the precious people’s time, so I’ll raise the unit price to 500,000 gold. Is 1 million gold units.”

Nevertheless, the lifting sign did not stop for a while.

“8 Million gold!”

“8.5 Million gold!”

‘Crazy…’

I couldn’t help but think that 70 percent of the money they were calling for would go into my inventory.

It was as if the money was being copied.
