The Late Cook Ascends the Tower - The Late Cook Ascends the Tower chapter 13

13 – Episode 13. She placed Jessica on her bone and put her left hand on the back of her sword.

What will happen if you cut this?

Let’s go!

“Huh!”

Hmm, that’s no good.

Since it’s in a game, I thought it would be easy to cut bones. hehehehe

It’s okay though. Because there is an industrial press right next to it.

“Dana, try that.”

“What? What did you do earlier?”

“Yeah, but is it possible that my hand won’t be cut off?”

“Ah, am I a monster? How do you cut off a man’s hand?”

Is that serious? You can’t cut right?

Dana stopped talking nonsense, then pressed the back of my hand at once.

Tung!

‘Keep it off!’

With just that, Jessica, who hadn’t budged a moment ago… Her thick ribs…

It broke in two at once. Even that, as if the cross section was cut with a saw, neatly.

Hmm, maybe it’s a bug.

It’s like my Dana disappeared, and it’s also the fact that I’m dirty and strong with the 1st floor npc theme.

The bug is obvious. There is no explanation otherwise.

Still, my plan was a success.

In my head, “Item is destroyed.” Didn’t even hear the same thing.

A piece of meat about 1/3 the size fell off the meat, which was about 40cm long.

Looking at the item information… The result is as I expected.

[Small chunks of large boneless meat grilled over direct fire]

– Grilled animal meat with bones, made with skillful workmanship.

– The amount is too small.

[Large Chunk of Bone Meat Grilled over an Open Fire]

– Grilled animal meat with bones, made with skillful workmanship.

– The amount is small.

The cooking item is the same as before cutting.

However, both small and large parts, the original recovery ability evaporated.

The best result was sharing recovery abilities along with cooking, but no matter how much I think about it, it’s too fraudulent, so I’m comfortable with this one too.

Also, as expected, it is probably easier to sell in this town with no stats.

It’s such a poor village, so it’s easier to scrape together a small amount than to make a lot of money all at once.

You must slowly absorb all the money in this town.

Looking at the cut meat, Dana nodded from the side.

“To divide and sell? So you only asked me to pay 100 gold?”

“Right. If so, can you live without burden?”

“Ah, I didn’t mind buying all of them…”

“Don’t be greedy and take this.”

“Okay…But do you have to call me next time you cook? Because there is still money left.”

I nodded at Dana’s words, but I had no intention of doing so.

After all, the money in this town can be sucked up in one or two trades, and then I’ll leave this place.

And you, the NPC, must take good care of Mr. Dana’s shop.

I put the plate of meat on Dana’s hand and with the other hand Dana took the gold.

And… The exchange.

I hear a voice in my head as soon as my hands drop.

『Item exchange was successful.

I lost the item [Small chunks of large broiled bone meat].

The overvalued amount is lost.

You have acquired 97 gold.』

The result of the exchange… Dana’s 100 gold was too much, so 3 gold evaporated.

It was almost exactly a 3 gold difference.

Besides, selling an item with no stats for 97 gold would have made quite a profit, and it wasn’t even one item.

Considering the 2 pieces still cut, it means that at least 200 gold is left over for each dish.

I’d say it’s a pretty good deal.

And now it was my turn to accept Dana’s condition.

As Dana said, the gold has evaporated.

“Yes! I paid more right? Now you have to eat too.”

“Yes.”

Thanks to that, I am also a member of the forced tasting group.

It hurts to lose a 97 gold item, but I don’t think it’s bad to taste it beforehand.

I need to know the taste to accurately judge the value of my cooking, and I’m also curious about the quality of monster meat.

However, you have to cross one more gate to taste it.

No, maybe quite a lot.

Until all the meat is cut and turned into merchandise… Will my hands hold out?

Didn’t you just cut the bones?

But I think it’s already too late.

The industrial press grabs my hand and won’t let go.

“hehehe… Then let’s cut the rest quickly. Put your hand on the knife!”

**

God, I’ve never had a religion, but thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You saved my hand from this pain.

Heukheuk… It hurts so much…

I cut all the products at the expense of my hands.

Out of 7 cooking items, 2 pieces of meat on the bone and 3 pieces of roast wild boar are cut into 1/3 pieces.

I decided to save one for later.

Finally, tasting.

Dana was making an expression that she couldn’t stand it anymore.

From a while ago, he nodded his head alternately looking at my eyes and meat.

Well, since last night I was tortured without eating anything, so it must be difficult.

“Eat me? Do you really eat?”

“Eat quickly and tell me what you think.”

“Okay. I will do my best to evaluate it!”

Dana stabbed her meat once with a fork.

Then he hesitated, then shook her head horizontally.

Put down the fork and grab the bone with both hands.

Yeah, that’s it.

No matter how elaborate a dish is, it’s better to hold and tear the meat with your hands.

Looking at Dana’s excited eyes, I’m looking forward to it more and more.

How will people who have never eaten proper food because they are stuck in a game all their lives will react when they eat my food?

And at the same time, I also think of this.

If the real Dana was immersed in the game like her, it would be great if I could cook for her. Thought to do.

I feed Dana an incredibly delicious dish, and of course Dana compliments me.

Then I would have boasted to the fullest that I could do at least one thing, even though I’ve lived as a gamechanger for the past two years.

It’s a pity that the person who serves her food after two years is not her.

“Hang!”

Compared to the large eyes, the small lips dig into the meat.

When they fell off again, their lips were glistening with oil.

“Wow. Ha ha… Hu, hu.”

I wonder if there really is a storage function in the inventory when I see smoke billowing out even though a lot of time has passed.

Anyway.

Dana now closed her eyes tightly and licked her mouth slowly.

You can see that the closed eyelids are getting stronger and stronger.

His feet shrunk as if he had put a lot of energy into them.

Ac, I can’t stand it.

From noble mtl dot com

“Why don’t you say anything when you say you’re giving me an evaluation? How is it?”

But Dana didn’t answer.

I just keep hitting my arms with the eyebrows in the shape of the letter ‘s.

“Mmm! Hmm!”

I couldn’t resist that prompting, so I also asked for meat.

Only then, I think I know what she wants to say.

Moist.

The flesh is soft enough to be crushed with the tongue, and oil overflows between the teeth every time you chew.

Is it because the salt season is too strong?

No. This is just the flavor of the shadow boar.

A feeling of fullness in the mouth due to the umami overflowing from the fat.

And the pepper was trimming the excessively overflowing taste.

I didn’t expect much because it was a lousy product made by drying it naturally, but the strange acidity felt from the pepper makes me chew the meat constantly.

In a word…

“Delicious.”

“That’s right!!! Crazy Lee Do-hyun! This is so delicious!”

It’s an honor to hear that my dish was so delicious that you struggled.

Dana immediately took another bite of her meat.

Stupidly smeared grease all over her face and ate the meat.

First fast, then slow.

At the end, he pouted his lips in regret.

And when she finished eating, she barely stopped herself from licking the bone.

“Are you a dog? Bone licking is a bit…”

“But… I’m sorry. I should have bought the whole thing… No! Other people should know about this taste!”

“Yes. I’m going to sell it to other people from now on, so save your money and fix the store.”

“No, Dohyeon. I am a horse I need to share this joy right now. I’ll gather people, so get ready for business!”

“Huh?”

What is he talking about?

I don’t intend to give you a penny? Are you jumping into sales?

With that said, Dana sprinted out of her shop at her full speed.

Aren’t you tired after staying up all night?

Then 15 minutes later, I was back at the store.

“Hurry up, take your seat! It’s first-come-first-served basis, so there’s no complaining about not eating!”

With so many people behind it.

In the crowd, I could see people I had met at the store in the morning, as well as homeless people who were killing time on the street.

The empty hall fills up in an instant.

Back in her kitchen, Dana’s face was full of confidence. Maybe it’s conceit, I don’t know.

“I gathered people with more than 100 gold. How is it? Is this enough?”

**

The shop owner said that.

Dana is the idol of this town.

But in reality it seems to be more than that.

People flocked to the store at Dana’s words and said they would buy my dishes without question.

So I just serve the dishes cut in the kitchen on a plate.

Then Dana brings his guests and closes the deal, leaving the gold in my hand.

『Item exchange was successful.

I lost the item [Small chunks of large broiled bone meat].

The overvalued amount is lost.

You have acquired 82 gold.』

Each person lost a lot of money, but no one complained.

Just when Dana excitedly explained the taste of the dish with hand gestures and foot gestures, the people who ate the food agreed with her words, and smiles were overlaid on her gloomy expression.

‘I knew it from the first time we met… But he’s really good at his job.’

It’s not even a proper menu, it’s just a piece of meat, but due to her high tension, a small party is held in broad daylight.

One by one, someone knocks on the table, and Dana sings her song to leave her tavern with terrible skill.

There is no lute and djembe, but only Hung is as good as the broken sword sheath in the game.

I already sold out all the dishes, so I have nothing to do.

It was quite fun to watch.

Is it because this noisy scene overlaps with the real Dana-san’s pub?

Or is it because I only saw empty restaurants throughout the corona?

I don’t know why I’m happy.

It’s sold out quickly!

It took only 4 minutes for all the food to be sold.

The party was held for 30 minutes.

All business was completed in 34 minutes, and now the store is empty.

Now it’s time to check the results.

Time to explore the potential of my character’s profession, the traveling chef.

If you’re lucky, you can run to the store and get an artifact, get a membership card, and the cornerstone of a cheat build might be completed in one day.

A total of 13 dishes were sold today, excluding the one I ate.

I currently have 99 gold.

To that, the value of today’s sales is…
