Chapter 685
Pandemonium while cooking
“They finished cooking!”
“Thank you. Please put them over here!”
“Yes!”
“Here is the cheese and vegetables!”
“Just put them in the bread then!”
“There are not enough vegetables or cheese!”
“Here is more!”
“Take it over there!”
“Ah, are you okay, Liza?”
“It was hot! But I’m fine!”
“Be careful that you don’t get burned!”
The atmosphere while making the patties was pretty relaxed.
However, things changed once we started to cook them…and then place them in the buns with the cheese and vegetables.
Even though it was simple work, we had to prepare enough for a whole village, and there were a lot of people helping, which made things busy.
While it would still be good when cooled, it would taste the best when freshly cooked.
The guards from the mansion were helping to carry the food. They did not have wagons with them, and so they had to be carried at once, which required a lot of strength.
Even though Johanna didn’t join with the cooking, she carried trays in each hand and moved like a professional waiter, which was surprising.
When had she learned to do that?
“Mr. Takumi, the fire is weakening!”
“Leo… No, tell Sebastian and the butlers to bring more firewood!”
“Understood!”
Unlike a gas stove, it was difficult to control the heat. And so we had to add things that burned, like wood and branches… Still, since there were a lot of people, there were also a lot of helpers.
The villagers had given us some of their extra firewood and then Leo and Rahle, with the help of Sebastian and the others, had gone outside in order to gather more.
They made several trips already, but we had still run out again.
“Please be careful when cutting the vegetables! We’re not in a rush!”
“Don’t worry, I’m used to doing this.”
“Don’t melt the cheese too much. It will be dangerous.”
“Yess!”
There wouldn’t be much of a problem if we could all calmly work, but things had become hectic, and I started to not know what was happening around me. And so even if they were experienced cooks, I thought it was not a bad thing to remind people to be careful.
While we all wanted to eat delicious food, it was important to stay safe as well.
“Mr. Takumi, we have brought more tree branches. Leo and the others seem like they are getting impatient.”
“Thank you! Please put them over there. As for Leo…tell her to wait just a little longer!”
“Certainly!”
It was probably Mr. Ekenhart, Euro and Sherry that were waiting with Leo. But it’s not like we could hurry up.
When making this much food, if you waited for all of it to be finished, the ones you made first would get cold. And so we served the children and dogs first, and the other villagers.
Normally, we would have prioritized feeding Mr. Euto or the duke, but since they wanted to eat with me, they would be served last.
“Here are more!”
“Thank you! Let’s do it, Liza!”
“Yes, let’s do our best, Rosalie!”
Ms. Lyra, Rosalie, and Liza were in charge of cooking the meat. I had heard Liza make a noise that sounded like a scream earlier. But though I was worried, she was fine.
“Gyaaa!”
“…Your Excellency, it’s your fault for doing something as rude as stealing food.”
“No, you deliberately dropped it on my head, didn’t you? Lugretta!”
“Hardly… I would never do that. Now, why don’t you go back and wait with Lord Liebert.”
“But he…is tangled in it too…?”
“…”
“Father, what are you doing? We already ate it before, so you should just wait patiently…”
“That is true. But… The smell was just so good. Sorry, could you help me? I think that I am stuck…”
