Hero's Mother After – Chapter 72 Same Old Meal
As usual, once the meal began, the church people left.
But this meal...
Hmm, something feels a bit off.
Is it not tasty?
"How is it, Serena-sama?"
"Well, this dish, the sauce feels a bit lacking..."
"Could it be... I, Mikudo, took responsibility for making this... it can't be."
Hmm, what should I do?
Dad did say something like that.
For regular people's cooking, you don't point out the flaws; you just quietly eat and say it's tasty. But when it's a professional, it's kinder to give honest feedback...
Yeah, I've decided.
"Sorry, could I borrow the kitchen for a moment? Also, please take this dish back."
"Uh, this is something I made, the finest..."
"Yeah, it's tasty in its own way, but could I take a look?"
"That's..."
"""Serena-sama..."""
"It's fine, just leave it to me."
Hmm, it still feels a bit lacking...
"All of these dishes were supervised by me and served to the Pope, royalty, and nobility... Are you dissatisfied?"
"Not exactly, but... well, just watch for a moment. First, this soup... if you add a bit of spice like this, it becomes like this... see?"
"That soup is already a finished dish, you can't just..."
"Just try it."
"Sigh, if it's what Serena-sama wants——Wait, it's delicious. But why?"
"See? This way, it stimulates the taste buds and becomes tastier, right? I learned this from my dad. Also, about how to cook the eggs, it's better to take orders. I like my eggs scrambled, Fleur prefers them runny, Rosalia and Elsa like them medium, so it's kinder to cook according to preferences. As for the side bread... yeah, soft croissants would be nice. Pancakes would work too, and maybe add another meat dish like sausages for balance."
"Um, there are so many things I don't know..."
"Oh, really? In that case, this must be fate. I'll teach you."
"Yes..."
There are many things I can't make without the ingredients...
"Alright, Mikudo-san, what kind of eggs do you like?"
"I'm fine with anything..."
"Is that so? Then let's make scrambled eggs... add milk for creaminess, and plenty of yogurt and butter for extra flavor... something like this?"
"..."
"Then, boil two sausages from the storage bag, and add ketchup and mustard..."
"..."
"Like this... put the salad next to it and drizzle it with the special dressing. The plate is complete."
"..."
"Is there... any croissant available? Well, I guess pancakes will do, and pour plenty of maple syrup..."
"..."
"The soup from earlier is good, but I think cream soup would be better... there, it's done! If you want, give it a try."
"Amazing... you made this with the techniques of court chefs... but this Mikudo is one of the best chefs, what is this? It's delicious... it's even better than what I've eaten before... who taught you this?"
Dad learned it from Uncle Kazuma.
How should I put it?
"This is a recipe developed by Kazuma-san and, um, my ancestors together... with a few tweaks."
"Food King Kazuma? Is this a recreation of the legendary chef's dish? That's why it's so delicious! Can you make other dishes like this?"
"Well, I'm not as good as my dad, but he told me, 'Cooking is the way to please women,' so I can make a few things."
"Um... I'm sorry, please take me as your disciple!"
"It's impossible since I'm still inexperienced... but I plan to continue learning when I return..."
"But if you can make this far, you can be a top chef!"
"I don't need that. I only cook for the people I like. If they enjoy it, that's all I need."
"""Serena-sama..."""
"Alright, then. Too bad... in that case, let's become friends. I don't mind if you teach me occasionally, Serena-sama."
"That's fine, but I'll make food for four people, so please help with serving."
"Understood."
What's different about this from the usual breakfast?
What will happen next?
By the way, I have a new project about a returning hero who is forced to combat once again. It features good character growth and decent battle writing. Here's the link => [Link]
