Volume 13 Chapter 24: A Unique Application
A couple of days later, he headed over to the stall again. Keith sighed as he stared at them, “Can you guys stop pouting like that.” Carolyn and Krystal pouted, their cheeks puffed up. A silver and blue hamster. That was the only way to describe the two.
It was cute, but when they did it the whole day, it would get tiresome without him squishing their cheeks. Even when he tried to, they would slap his hand away.
So regrettable.
“Well, because you promised a taste test, but we got squat!” He had already decided on the menu before they even had the chance to try!
They wanted to cry at the missed chance of new food. But Keith shook his head, “Relax; it’s not that much.”
“One taste testing gone means a lot! Senior Angelica and Sakura are crying because of this.”
“…They’re crying?” Angelica, sure. But Sakura was not someone he saw as a crying type.
Carolyn muttered, “She was shaking.” Her cry was shaking. Those two were stunned when they heard how Keith decided on the menu without telling them.
“…I see.” Keith sighed as Mir and Lei jiggled on his head. So cute. But that only caused Carolyn’s eyes to narrow. You're lucky you look adorable. Those two dumplings on his head would soothe anyone's soul. When Keith arrived at the area, he started writing on the board, which excited everyone, “The boss has something new today!”
“Ooooo! There’s snapper!” “There’s also geyser bites as well!”
"Cedric, Dalen, Kaiser, do your thing!" Those three taste testers were up to the bat!
"Naturally!" Cedric grinned.
"Of course," Dalen nodded since he was among the first to try Keith's food.
"I'll do my best." Kaiser chuckled.
"Here you three are." Keith brought out the new foods. The first one was a long grilled snapper, while the other two were bites, but one had something on top.
The three took a bite.
The grilled snapper was quite gentle and salty. The taste of the sea was inside their mouths. While the geyser bites had a pop as juices overflowed. The tangy taste of orange and lemon with the gentle fish taste made it fantastic!
“What is this?” Kaiser tilted his head as he tasted the geyser bites with golden bits sprinkled on top. Texture-wise, the bites brought a beautiful crunch to the fish. There was no offset to the fish's flavor.
Instead, it was a complement to the geyser fish.
Keith smiled, "I coated the geyser bites with fried grouper fish. It was an amazing topping."
“That’s impressive.” Kaiser was fascinated.
"Mmhmm! I know, right? You guys can add them to any order with an addition of one bronze coin!”
“I want to add it to my beef!” “Same!” The others heard of this new condiment and were quite eager to pair it up with the other skewers. Carolyn and Krystal had gotten to work. But when they did,
“Carolyn!”
“Father?!” Both ladies blinked as they stared at the arrival of the new people. It was none other than Julius, Edmund, and Virel.
“Why are you two here?!” Carolyn couldn’t fathom his visit. They had heard about how Othniel and Finrandir were coming here. But now, their parents did the same?
“Of course to try out new foods.”
“Does mother know about this?!” Virel was about to chuckle. That was the same question Alfia asked Finrandir!
Julius slapped him in the back, where he smiled, “Of course, your Mother knows about it. I’m coming here for a light snack and nothing more.”
“…Maybe I should inform her.”
“No, don’t!” Julius waved, “She has a lot of work right now.”
“…” Carolyn’s eyes narrowed. It was apparent he was lying.
Krystal glanced at her father, wondering the same thing. Unlike Julius, “She knows. I’m going to buy some to share with the others.” It was a similar situation with Virel; Violet knew about his trip; she specifically asked him for rush bull skewers.
“Understood. Then how about you buy the new item?” Krystal smiled gently. Edmund and Julius nodded while Virel was casual.
“What a stroke of luck! I’m able to try out a new ingredient!” The luck today was quite magical. Edmund sighed, “Are you forgetting how you’ll deal with Thalia when you return home?” A dragon awaited him.
“She won't.” Julius grinned, “This kid's food is so good!” He could already smell it from here as he and Cedric slowly got closer to view, not realizing the look Edmund had.
“…” Should I tell him about it? He could ruin the man’s whole world with one move.
“He clearly doesn’t understand that she knows.” Virel shook his head as he turned to Edmund. The two shared a look and nodded. That answered the mer-king's thoughts.
If Violet knew, then Thalia knew. Those two were friends, and since there was a new item, it was highly likely that Violet would talk about it.
“…Yeah.” He sighed, but that was when Krystal returned with the food. Virel analyzed the fish, “Oh my, this fish looks quite delicious.”
“Indeed.”
“What a unique application for grouper fish.” Virel smiled as he savored the taste of the two fishes. He thought it was pretty genius. You have one for flavor and the other for texture. While everyone was savoring the new menu items, they didn’t know they were being eyed.
“So this is the place where everyone is going to.”
“By the way, shouldn’t we have called William here if we’re doing this?” Edmund tilted his head as he questioned.
But Julius shook his head, “No way! There is no way I’ll call that man over here when he has delicious food at home.” No need to give him more!
He was a man filled with riches while they were poor!
The two could only shake their heads at how foolish this king was. But as they talked about this, they munched on their food happily like nothing was wrong.
“…” There was a small person slowly eyeing down the food. Her lips licked as she eyed the skewers.
