Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 5. New Recipe

“We’ll go into the dungeon now. And we’ll come back later and tell you how the cooking worked.”

“Yes. Be careful.”

“Goodbye.”

The two girls went into an uproar again when they learned that, in addition to delicious things, their strength increased as a bonus effect.

It must be because the food sold in the village doesn’t have that effect, but the reaction was so good that I thought it was a bit excessive from the point of view of being praised.

That’s why I’m a little worried.

I wondered if these toxic kids exaggeratedly said it was delicious.

‘Suddenly, it got hot.’

In front of the dungeon where the two girls disappeared, I was left alone.

There is no floating population, so the atmosphere is dreary.

‘First of all, it’s a stall for testing. It’s enough to move the location.’

I have finished the stalls.

There is no sign yet.

I don’t even know what to call it.

Above all, it is a stall made by remodeling a wagon.

I think it could be properly called a pojangmacha without a signboard, but I couldn’t decide on a name for the store as I hadn’t even decided on an important main dish.

Right now, grilled meat is the main thing, but it will change again with a new recipe.

‘I should give it away for free today.’

No one will buy it if they want to sell it for money in a situation where they would be reluctant to give it away for free, as the girls did.

First of all, it’s publicity.

Fortunately, I don’t have to worry about money for a while because I sold potions.

You should think of it as an investment.

“There adventurer friends! Before entering the dungeon, would you like to try this? It’s free.”

My face heats up.

When should I have done something like this?

I’ve had fun recruiting parties through chat, but I’ve never actually sold or recommended anything.

‘I never thought I’d be able to experience something like this here.’

I think you really don’t know what a person’s life is like.

* * *

Several days passed in an instant.

[Your reputation has increased by 1.]

In the meantime, something surprising happened. Even if you didn’t stay still, the system message and the phenomenon of your reputation level rising by 1 were repeated several times.

‘Maybe it’s because of my cooking?’

Over the past few days, I’ve been touring various dungeons for free tastings.

It wasn’t that many, but I fed dozens of people with grilled meat, and all of them responded well.

It’s just that there was a considerable time gap before his reputation increased.

I don’t know why.

‘How are you? There’s nothing to lose just because your reputation goes up.’

Reputation was not something that had to be built up deliberately and painstakingly.

As far as I know, I’ve heard that it’s useless unless you’re a member of a war guild that’s fighting for territory or national wars.

‘But now, the game of war is over.’

Now it’s not just a game, it’s a reality.

If you die in war, you actually die.

There are few players left who will enjoy a power struggle at the cost of their lives.

Those people are either dead, or have long since given up.

Of course, there are still people who covet power.

It just has nothing to do with me.

‘Shall we go soon?’

I opened the door to the dorm and came out.

It is one of the largest villages in Salem.

It is also a village where children named Mumu and Melissa live.

The deadline for completing the quest is today.

If everything went well, all you have to do is go to the Adventurer’s Guild, pay the request fee, and get the item.

Because of that, I headed straight to the adventurer’s guild.

Kiik- The old wooden door opened and went inside.

There were quite a lot of people, but most of them were young boys and girls.

Of course, there were occasional glimpses of people in their 20s.

‘Hmm? What did you put on my face?’

Could it be that summoners have appeared in the novice adventurer’s guild for the first time in a while?

All eyes are on me.

Some people even roll their eyes and gossip.

I made my way to the reception desk, hiding my discomfort.

“Ah! Are you here?”

The receptionist, wearing something similar to a maid uniform, pretends to know.

My eyes are drawn to her voluptuous body without realizing it, but I don’t pay attention to that at all.

Rather, is it a feeling of pride?

Since it is a game with a high percentage of male players, the service spirit is thorough.

“Has my commissioned work been completed?”

“Of course. It’s not like I’m asking you to go somewhere to catch the boss or boss. Besides, it was a designated quest, right? Didn’t it already say something in advance?”

“hahahaha… That’s right.”

“A designation request from a completely new adventurer. This is an expedient method used by novice adventurers from rich or noble backgrounds to easily accumulate points, but those kids are lucky. They made connections with summoners as soon as they debuted. Even in our guild, they noticed. I’m considering it.”

Huh? To that extent?

The story went in a completely unexpected direction.

I had no intention of becoming their guardian or anything.

“Besides, rumors of you are coming from all over the place.”

“Yes? My rumors?”

“I hear you’re a chef? I’ve never heard of a summoner being a chef… But anyway, the food is so delicious that it’s universally praised. Both of you want to try it when you get a chance.”

“Ah, is that so? Please tell me to come back anytime.”

I can see why people stared at me.

It seems that people who have eaten free food for the past few days have spread rumors here and there.

Of course, this is what I wanted the most.

The receptionist looked at me slowly from bottom to top with very greasy eyes.

“You want me to visit you anytime? Well, that’s fine. Let’s go visit you.”

“Yes? No, I’m talking about people who want to eat my food.”

“Why don’t you think I’ll be included there?”

“Ah…”

Just say you want to eat it.

Turn around.

“More than that, how did the request go?”

“The stuff is over there. It’s quite a lot. Can you take it all at once?”

“I emptied my inventory for now.”

I paid the fee and moved to the back warehouse.

‘Huh…’

The quantity was much larger than I thought.

In particular, the amount of flour was enormous, enough to last for several months even after opening a bakery.

As I opened my mouth, the receptionist said.

“You asked for the amount and brought it according to the amount. If the amount is different from what you expected, please order the amount next time.”

“Oh, I’ll refer to it.”

Fortunately, all the flour and vegetables were in the inventory.

Flour x 100 sacks.

A large amount of flour took up only one space.

‘I’ll have to sell only flour food for the time being?’

I laughed and headed straight to the place where I left the wagon.

From now on, we will start developing recipes in earnest.

‘If it’s jeon, it’s a national dish. Simple, simple.’

* * *

[Failed to cook.]

– It’s hard to know what you’re trying to create.

“Aagh!”

I have already failed dozens of times.

Equipped with a full set of cooking clothes, cooking caps, and aprons.

Why did it fail even though it was covered with cash items?

‘Calm down, calm down…’

Adjust the amount of salt again, check the amount and temperature of the oil in the frying pan, and with that, the consistency of the batter is perfect.

Enough amount of leek…

Chii Ik-

The former is ripening.

It is a very tense moment.

Check that one side is golden brown, and turn it over stably with a cashew spatula.

‘Come on! Now just cook the other side and you’re done!’

[Failed to cook.]

– Please double check that the recipe you used is correct.

‘Ha…’

Are there no recipes for chive pancakes in the database at all?

Is that why you keep failing?

I couldn’t understand it at all.

I lay sprawled in an empty lot in front of the village.

Small clouds float in the clear sky.

Maybe it’s because it’s a beginner village, but the sky is so clean.

‘Is it raining here? How do you farm?’

Suddenly, I had an idea.

I wonder if it’s because it doesn’t rain in a town where it doesn’t rain.

Biting tail after tail like that reminds me of the old days.

‘On a rainy day, fry it beforehand, dip it in soy sauce, eat a full bite, and drink a glass of makgeolli on top of that, kyaa…’

Then I suddenly came to my senses.

“Soy sauce!”

Yes.

Previously, it was soy sauce.

“Could it be that it failed because there was no soy sauce?”

Anyway, you should try.

I couldn’t give up like this.

I hurriedly took out a box of seasonings from the inventory for cash items.

‘Yes!’

[All-purpose soy sauce that comes out indefinitely like a fountain that never runs dry]

I didn’t have a small boil, so I poured soy sauce into a small bowl I bought in bulk, added some sliced scallions, and mixed it.

Then, right after that, I started to fry the pancakes.

– Chii Ik

Delicious grilled chive pancakes.

It seemed like I could make it with my eyes closed now, perhaps my skills improved while repeating failures.

And finally.

[You have succeeded in a new dish.]

“That’s it!”

[A new recipe has been registered in the recipe book. You have become the first registrant of this recipe. You have the right to enter the dish name.]

[Please name the new dish.]

I’m not so shameless as to claim the dishes I already have as mine.

[Registered. The name of the new dish is ‘Chewing Jeon’.]

[The chef class level has increased significantly.]

“What?”

The chef level went up by 4 at once.

The level that had risen by just 1 while making hundreds of grilled meats became 6 in an instant.

No, it’s more important than that.

“So you’ve failed dozens of times just because you didn’t really put a lid on the soy sauce?”

Cursing comes out.

Damn the moderators.

I try to change my teeth, but there is no way to contact customer service.

Because this is not Earth.

“Ha…”

There is only one way to relieve this grunting mood.

“Let’s eat and die.”

I ate the freshly prepared hot chive pancake with flavored soy sauce.

My nostrils are wide open.

The rich aroma of soy sauce and fresh chives that I haven’t felt in a long time.

The surface is crispy and the texture is perfect.

‘As expected, carbohydrates…’

No matter how much you eat grilled meat, subtle deficiencies that could not be resolved are instantly filled.

“Damn it! Whoever made it Jonna is delicious!”

At least, it was just one chapter.

It disappeared in an instant without even sending a message to the liver.

‘What is the quantity so small? Should I fry ten sheets?’

While I was feeling inadequate, a series of system messages came up.

[You have become the first complete eater of the newly registered dish ‘Cheek Jeon’.]

‘Ah, you bring something like that up to the window. Shame on people.’

[Increases Stamina by 5 for 1 hour.]

‘Is this the effect of flour?’

Perhaps because it is a new item, ???? Was displayed in the information window of the Buchujeon.

It sounded like you were told to use an appraisal skill or item to check, but I’m sorry, but I already ate it.

After eating, you can check the stat window or see if a message like this pops up.

What is the need for appraisal at the cost of money?

[Increases intelligence by 5 for 1 hour.]

‘Huh? To intelligence? Is it because they use vegetables?’

If I ate one piece, you said my total stats would increase by 10?

I couldn’t help but be surprised.

But it wasn’t over yet.

[For 1 hour, the skill ‘God’s Blessing’ characteristic ‘Move Speed Enhancement Lv.94’ Is maintained in the form of a buff. However, the cooking maker’s class level is insufficient, so the effect is reduced to Lv.6.]

“Yes?”

What the hell are you talking about?
