Chapter 313 Maid
Chapter. Clone.
Turning 30 this year, she picked 20 maids who were reputed to have good dexterity in the castle and taught them how to cook. Clone is a chef of great skill, known throughout the Empire as well as in the King’s Archipelago.
“This is called meat dish when the inside is not properly cooked! I can assure you that this garbage on a plate would be politely rejected even if thrown to wild beasts that had starved for three days.”
As such, the screening of Clone was very difficult. Of the 20 dishes prepared by the maids, more than half have already gone straight to the trash can.
“Uh-uh-”
Eventually, one of the maids burst into tears at Clone’s venomous remarks beyond imagination.
bang!
Clone’s eyes flashed and he slammed the table.
“What are you doing well that brings tears to your eyes? What makes me want to cry is the poor livestock slaughtered to make this garbage!”
Hood-deuk-
Clone again put the food he didn’t like on a plate and went straight to the trash can.
“What is your name?”
“Bar Baffione…”
“What is the recipe for the prepared food?”
“Big chunks of meat with lemon juice and herbs. And I marinated it for a day with olive oil.”
Clone took a piece of Baffione’s well-seasoned steak to her mouth.
Well well.
While all the maids watched nervously, Clone asked with a much improved expression.
“Oh… Did you sprinkle salt as a finishing touch when you were simmering in butter?”
“yes! you’re right!”
Will there finally be a first passer who will satisfy Clone? And is the main character himself? Baffione nodded vigorously with a very happy face.
Hood-deuk-
Clone put the plate straight into the trash with a cold, expressionless face again.
“That is very fortunate. I thought it was so salty that I accidentally dropped it into the seawater… but that doesn’t seem to be the case.”
Truly a reversal of a reversal.
“Ugh-”
When Baffione, the 11th batter, was also in tears, Clone wiped her mouth with a napkin and shook her head.
“That low-quality idea of thinking that delicious food comes out if you just hit expensive spices without any understanding of the ingredients…”
“Baffione? You quickly stand here in a corner and apologize to the spices and ingredients for every minute. The thing you made with expensive ingredients is garbage that’s worse than raw meat.”
Baffione, her head drooping, followed Clone’s words and put her head in the corner and murmured.
“It’s a spice. I’m sorry…”
“Can you speak a little louder so that the animals can hear it in the afterlife?”
“city! ceremony! Ingredients! Sorry!”
11 people.
“Ugh, it smells worse than a toilet… This food is traumatic for me. Every time I eat lamb, I will remember this smell, and I won’t be able to eat it for at least three years.”
13 people.
“Cooking eggs… did you think you could hide your skills by cooking simple dishes? Tsk, even that is a failure!”
16 people.
“Peanut butter for cheese dishes… Nutritionally, cheese is the opposite of peanuts. Did you intend to assassinate me with this poison?”
All 19 dishes were rejected, and now only one dish out of 20 remains on the table.
“What is your name?”
When Clone mechanically asked with a face that had no expectations anymore, the purple-haired girl flinched and answered.
“It’s Sumire…!”
The final challenger to be judged by Clone is none other than Sumire.
“What is the recipe for the prepared food?”
“It’s a sandwich with jamon and cheese.”
Excited –
“Interesting. All the other participants cooked with raw meat, but to think they were using aged processed meat alone.”
When Clone raised her glasses and asked with a fierce look, Sumire scratched the nape of her neck and averted her gaze.
“Ah, that’s…”
Klone, realizing what Sumire was worried about, said it was okay and asked the reason again.
“Tell me quickly.”
“The meat prepared this time is in a fresh state just after being slaughtered, but look at the unique dark red color. It looked like a dairy cow or an aging cow.”
The maids glanced at each other with surprised faces at Sumire’s words. Wouldn’t this test be unfair if the material was in poor condition?
but.
“That is correct. All idiots who pretended to be cooks and used meat as they were given without even knowing the condition of the ingredients were eliminated. It makes sense.”
Even determining the condition of the material was part of Klonnet’s testing. Now that you have passed the food gate, it is finally time to taste it.
“But if you use good ingredients but don’t taste good, that’s even worse. Well then…”
Clone took a quick bite of the sandwich. Then, with a face that was hard to understand, Clone took another bite of the sandwich and took another bite.
“Eup…”
Then, Clone frowned so strongly that her face was distorted as if something was wrong.
‘Did I do something wrong? The expression is so scary…’
Thanks to that, Sumire waited in silence for 30 seconds that felt like 30 years, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Maybe this sandwich wouldn’t know? The 19 maids who had already been eliminated all watched Sumire with such hope.
Sumire was the last savior to change this icy atmosphere.
“Did you say your name was Sumire earlier?”
Finally, when the fateful moment came and he asked for his name again, Sumire nodded with confidence.
“yes! you’re right!”
Clone still looked at the sandwich with an incomprehensible expression, then suddenly began to mutter to herself,
“Only the outside of the bread is baked to keep the inside moist… I added chopped melon to avoid the monotony of cheese and ham. If it was too sweet, it would have felt cheap, but the amount was well controlled. I made the sandwich not boring without spoiling the flavor of jamon and cheese… Yes. It’s really a good harmony…”
Cloné pours out compliments like a rapid-fire gun, forgetting to even breathe, as if someone possessed something.
“This sandwich is super delicious! Incredibly delicious! Consideration and concern for the people who eat stand out! Even for simple food, it is in the world of cooking that a small difference in concern turns into such a big result!”
Sumire swallowed in a gulp at the spirit of Klonane, whose eyes flashed like a madman.
‘Thank you for the delicious food, but… I’m afraid of this person…’ Regardless of
whether Sumire was frightened or not, Clone put both sandwiches into her mouth.
“…Passed.”
I finished my meal, wiping my mouth with a napkin.
“You seem to be quite good at cooking. Do you have any recipes other than this sandwich that you are confident in?”
“yes! As long as you have good ingredients, you can make anything!”
If he had ruined the food, he would have treated it as unfounded confidence, but now Clone was looking at Sumire with eyes filled with infinite trust.
“Then, I think it would be better for you to cook the dishes for Sandra-nim and the VIP this time.”
“My me?”
“yes. I’ll give you command, so if you need anything, just let me know.”
Sumire, who was instantly recognized by Clone for her sandwich cooking, clenched her fists and looked around.
“It’s amazing….”
“If it’s you, I can believe and follow you~!”
“This sandwich! Even the sauce on the plate is delicious!”
Then, Sumire saw 19 colleagues who were loyal to her. There was no mountain that Sumire could not climb if she was not alone but with so many people.
“Okay! All of us will cheer up and serve you the best!”
Let Sumire lift her hand up to the sky with all her might.
Wow-!
The restaurant goes away. A huge roar pours from everyone.
[You have cleared the quest!]
[You will meet Sandra soon. Get information from Sandra and join your colleagues.]
Sumire, who successfully completed the quest through her specialty of cooking, looked at the night sky beyond the window with a proud face.
‘…Yoosung! And everyone! wait for me! I’m going to see you!’
Amidst the starlight that seemed to decorate the darkening hot summer night sky, Sumire made up her mind once again.
‘please! I’ll cook the best!’
* * *
[Whatever you do on the island is fine as long as you stay by my side. I won’t mind.]
At the end of the previous meeting, Yoosung Shin got the promise he wanted from Sandra. Of course, that didn’t mean I was completely free.
‘…to keep so many people next to me.’
Sandra attached a total of 3 ladies-in-waiting while Yuseong Shin was in the castle. I don’t know if it was an escort or a manager, but it was quite crazy.
“I can’t believe it when I see it. This white jade-like skin… I’ve taken care of the skin of countless nobles since the Empire… but this skin is truly a treasure!”
“That’s not all~ How about the VIP’s beauty? The line of the face that fits the sharp nose bridge like this without a single error…” “
That’s right. This is like a masterpiece crafted by God!”
Shin Yoo-seong was almost bewildered by the praises of the ladies-in-waiting that poured out for nearly three hours. On the other hand, what is appearance on the Isle of Women, so they praise it so much that their mouths wear out?
In fact, Shin Yoo-seong, who spent most of his time in Musin Mountain, did not understand even the ladies-in-waiting’s compliments.
Kwon Wang never talked about Shin Yoo-seong’s appearance, and since he spent most of his time at the academy in the club room, only occasional compliments from Smirena and Eun-ah Kim were all, so he hadn’t been very conscious of it.
‘If it’s just this much…’
Shin Yoo-seong, who left his head in the care of the lady-in-waiting, looked at himself in the mirror with a hm-hmm.
Even after becoming a woman, there seemed to be no major change except for her longer hair and body.
He still had jet-black hair, and he didn’t notice much of a difference in his features. After coming to the Isle of Women, what on earth has changed in himself that is why he is receiving so much praise?
Shin Yuseong looked at the mirror with a puzzled expression for a long time before finally muttering to himself.
“…it looks normal.”
