Chapter 1560: Can I Borrow This Chef For A Few Days?

The palace maids came over with trays, and all the dishes were covered by the specially made metal covers. This was the main kitchen’s important technique for ensuring the dishes could maintain their warmth and texture after traveling through the long streets.

Everyone’s gaze was attracted. They were curious about the chef that Gary specially invited from Chaos City. They wondered what kind of delicacies he could make, and if he could really be addressed as chef.

“The first dish. Braised chicken!” the captain loudly declared.

The palace maids removed the covers on the trays at the same time. The chicken soup’s rich aroma together with the shiitake mushroom’s aroma emerged at the same time, and spread all over.

“Smells so good!”

The eyes of all the orcs present lit up with disbelief.

The palace maids placed a big bowl of braised chicken on the table before bowing and retreating.

The braised chicken was only available on the 10 white jade tables. The orcs at the normal tables couldn’t help looking over when they smelled the aroma. They wanted to know what kind of delicacy could give out this enticing scent.

The VIPs from all the tribes also fixed their gazes on the braised chicken in the center of the table. There was a layer of gleam on the golden-brown chicken pieces, and shiitake mushrooms were adorned among them. The rich aroma whiffed over and made them gulp.

The Blue Sky Tribe’s chief was the first to pick up chopsticks, and chuckled before popping a piece of chicken into his mouth. “It smells fantastic. This dish looks good, so I will dig in now.”

The Blue Sky’s chief’s eyes lit up the moment the chicken entered his mouth. The cube of chicken was enshrouded in delicious broth, and the incredible flavor instantly set his taste buds alight as a maiden was seducing his taste buds with her delicate fingers, completely enthralling him in the process.

After biting through the cube of chicken, he discovered that the texture of the meat was extremely tender. It was completely unlike the dry and rough roast chicken he usually had. Even after swallowing the mouthful of chicken, a fragrant aroma lingered in his mouth.

“This is the best chicken dish ever! How could anybody in this world make chicken into such a delicious dish!?” the Blue Sky Chief praised with a glowing face. He had never had such scrumptious chicken meat before, or rather he should be saying that he had never had such scrumptious food before.

All the orcs couldn’t help smiling after they heard him. The Blue Sky Chief was a famous foodie and definitely an orc who could be considered as someone who knew how to appreciate his food.

The Blue Sky Tribe was ranked eighth among all the tribes in the Twilight Forest. Although they were powerful, they were not very interested in fighting for territory, and got along well with all the other tribes. Hence, the Blue Sky Chief was a regular visitor in all the tribes, and had tried all the tribes’ dishes.

Everyone wondered how the braised chicken that Billy heaped praises upon and which gave out such an enticing aroma tasted, so their curiosity was piqued.

“Oh! This enticing taste!”

“Is… this really chicken?!”

“Apart from the pieces being too small, I can’t find any shortcomings!”

***

Praises after praises were said with amazement. Everyone was bowled over by the scrumptiousness of the braised chicken.

The guests who couldn’t try the delicious braised chicken could only gulp as they smelled the aroma and listened to praises.

Gary curled his lips slightly. Even though the banquet wasn’t an important part of today’s ceremony, it did gain him plenty of recognition. He also used the chopsticks to pop a piece of chicken into his mouth. The delicious taste blossomed in his mouth, and made his eyes glow.

This chef is interesting. His skills are way better than those of those old fogeys in the main kitchen. He shall be in charge of my meals in the future then, Gary thought.

The big bowl of braised chicken was soon finished, and the second dish was served right at this moment.

“The second dish—red braised pork!”

The cover was removed, and a big terracotta bowl with red braised pork was placed on the table.

The red braised pork had equal parts of fat and lean meat, and was shiny red. It was cut into big chunks, and the skin looked transparent and crystalline. The rich meat aroma chased away the remnants of the braised chicken’s aroma, and snatched the center place forcefully.

Is this aroma going to subvert the number one pork in my heart?! Billy couldn’t wait as he picked up a piece of red braised pork.

The red braised pork that was cut into cubes had distinct layers of skin, fat, and meat. The glistening red color and the meaty aroma made his Adam’s apple move instinctively. He straight away opened his mouth, and popped the whole piece of red braised pork into his mouth.

The usually chewy skin was easily bitten apart by his teeth, and the fatty meat underneath the skin melted away in his mouth. He could chew without any resistance.

The sweet and soft red braised pork was fatty but not greasy. A gentle bite let the sweet juice out from the meat. The scrumptious taste of the red braised pork was released perfectly at this moment.

His obsession about having a big mouthful of meat was satisfied, and the rich aroma blossomed in his mouth, making him lost within the richness.

As he was a meat-lover, the wild boar meat was naturally one of his favorites. But Billy had never eaten braised meat that was so deliciously cooked. It removed the stench of the wild boar completely while braising the meat to a perfection. It was fatty yet not greasy.

All the orcs had commenced eating the red braised pork without waiting for Billy to make any comments. They were all lost in the scrumptiousness. Sounds of praises and laments could be heard one after another as they were completely enthralled.

“Boss Mag is still the absolute main character on the dining table even after changing a location,” Habeng and Haga softly said as they each popped another big piece of red braised pork into their mouths with a silly smile.

At first, they weren’t very willing to make the trip to the Falk Tribe, but now they were greatly satisfied. It was a rare chance to be able to enjoy Boss Mag’s delicacies outside the restaurant.

“It smells so good.” Haga also nodded with a silly smile. He swept his gaze in the crowd before retrieving it with a slight disappointment.

Billy put down his chopsticks. Chuckling, he asked, “Chief Gary, where did you find this chef? Can I invite him to my tribe as a guest after the ceremony is over?”

“If possible, I would also like to borrow him for a few days. This meat is simply too delicious,” a chief at the side chimed in.

Everyone began to have ideas on the chef.

“I invited this chef, and given his skills, I have decided to make him stay here as the royal chef. You guys will have to wait some time before you can borrow him,” Gary similarly replied with a smile. This banquet had given him a lot of prestige. It was not easy to find a chef like Mag. Gary had to make good use of him.

“The third dish: black pepper steak!”

The third dish was also served soon after. An individual helping of black pepper steak was served to everyone, and it took away all their attention again.

“Everyone is very satisfied with the dishes. We still haven’t found any traces of Connie yet, and Ferdinand wasn’t sent out, either.” Camilla’s voice appeared in the headset on Mag’s ear.
