Chapter 249: The War that Decides the Fate of \'The Bridge\' Part 52
Without wasting any time, Kayn started cooking the meal he wanted to prepare for Maria.
As someone who recognizes Maria from the future, he naturally knows what her favorite food is. It was included in the document he received about the Human Hunter Maria.
Despite being a Villain and a member of the infamous Villain organization Circus, Maria is actually known to be a very simple-minded woman, especially when it comes to food. She doesn\'t prefer her food fancy and unique like those being served in expensive restaurants.
"Are you serious about what you are cooking?" Gilbert was in disbelief as he looks at the ingredients Kayn has prepared. "I knew you were never a good chef, but you\'ll get us killed if you really think of serving that to Maria,"
"Trust me," Kayn muttered helplessly. He can\'t possibly tell Gilbert that he knows Maria would like what he is cooking as he read her profile from the future.
"How can I trust you when what you are trying to cook is simply fried chicken!" Gilbert exclaimed.
"Fried chicken?" Maria suddenly appeared from the back. "Did you just say Fried Chicken?"
"That\'s right, I am planning to cook the old and simple fried chicken," Kayn smiles.
"But there\'s no chicken in \'The Bridge\',"
"I know, but there are a lot of alternatives that taste almost the same,"
The livestock that people in \'The Bridge\' uses are actually not the same as those found on Earth. It is only natural given that they can only use resources found in this place.
To show it to Maria, Kayn waves his hand, immediately taking out a bare-skin carcass of a monster that looks almost identical to a chicken. Albeit it was around half a meter in size.
"Grassland Bird?" Maria instantly recognizes the carcass. She then looks at the ingredients that Nyak is planning to use. "Crystal salt, cornstarch made from golden corn, flour from green wheat, pepper from dragon chili, buttermilk, is that paprika?"
"Yes,"
"It seems like you got it all," Maria was pleased with the ingredients. "As for the sauce, are you planning on making a simple gravy?"
"I will prepare three sauces for you to try," Kayn pointed at the ingredients he\'d be using for the sauces. "Honey from Slumberbee and Skinless Garlic for a honey garlic sauce. Dark Cow\'s milk, broth from the Grassland Bird, pepper from dragon chili, and soy sauce from the combination of green wheat and green soybeans for gravy. And lastly, butter from the milk of Dark Cow, chili paste from dragon chili, and white vinegar for buffalo sauce,"
"I\'m already getting hungry just hearing you talk about the ingredients. I can\'t wait for you to serve me that delicious fried chicken," Maria exclaimed with excitement, softly murmuring her words as she left the area to avoid interrupting Nyak while he cooked.
"See that," Kayn smirked at Gilbert.
"Seriously?" Gilbert still can\'t believe that Maria actually likes what Kayn is preparing for her. He really thought that since she is a member of the Assembly Kngihts she would prefer food that incorporates lobster, beef, oyster, fish, and other meal that can be found in expensive restaurants, especially after hearing her mentioning that she\'s a picky eater.
"As long as we get her approval, it would be a sure ticket to the kitchen of the Assembly of Freedom, not just becoming a mere kitchen staff of Seven\'s company," Kayn explained.
"Was that your intention?"
"It wasn\'t until we made a deal with her,"
His original plan was to use his cooking skill to attract the attention of soldiers from the other company to come and eat the food he cooks. It would be a slow and gradual process, but that\'s the only way he got it, especially with the remaining span of time and the limited amount of Undead Apples he possesses.
However, now there\'s an opportunity for him to join the main kitchen of the Assembly of Freedom.
Although joining the main kitchen doesn\'t necessarily mean he can increase the number of people he can charm. But he can increase the quality of people. In other words, he would be charming the elite members, the higher-ups of their allies, the Executives, the six Assembly Knights, and possibly even Chief Kylo himself.
"Let\'s begin,"
Since it was just a simple fried chicken, it didn\'t take that long for Kayn and Gilbert to finish cooking the dish.
After around fifteen minutes, the fried chicken was finally cooked along with three different sauces for Maria to choose from.
Kayn served the fried chicken on a fine platter, just to increase its appeal, alongside small containers with the three different sauces.
After completing his tasks in the cooking area, Kayn left Gilbert to continue preparing meals for the remaining soldiers, as they had claimed they would cook for them as well. He then approached Maria, who had been patiently awaiting her food.
"It doesn\'t smell different from the actual fried chicken back on Earth," Maria smiled after taking a whiff of the fried chicken.
"In order to complete the meal," Kayn waves his hand, quickly taking out a big lunchbox filled with rice. It was the rice he had prepared for himself.
Maria nodded. "A meal would never be complete without rice,"
With a spoon on her right and a fork on her left, Maria didn\'t hesitate to start eating.
At first, Maria was acting delicate with the fried chicken as if she was afraid of wasting a single part of it. But the moment she tasted it, she instantly abandoned both the spoon and fork and went right on it with her small and delicate bare hands.
"I hope you don\'t mind my table manners," Maria muttered while still having a mouthful of chicken in her mouth.
"The way you eat is akin to a huge compliment for me," Kayn smiles while remaining standing still in front of Maria.
"If you don\'t mind, you can come and sit beside me and let\'s eat this together. It would be such a waste if you can\'t taste your own dish," Maria uttered before dipping the drumstick part into the gravy and eating it. "Perfect!"
"I apologize, but I still need to help my friend cook the rest of the fried chickens," Kayn slightly bowed his head before leaving.
