Chapter 502 Mandatory Requirements

 Due to the tight schedule this month, William's original plan to go to the Acrobatic Troupe to meet him was not able to go.

This time, maybe we can take advantage of the opportunity of cooking together in the kitchen to talk to Mr. Rabbit, who is second only to the boss. William still cares very much about the physical body.

While following Jain to the kitchen, William also asked curiously:

“Senior Jia En, it is said that the Magic Banquet invites all the main members of the circus. To ensure the freshness of the dishes, there should be a requirement to eat at the same time, right?

 The time interval should be limited to a certain range, right? "

“Yes, the preparation of Sabbat dishes is mainly divided into two parts.

 The first item is the preparation of raw materials. As soon as we arrive in the kitchen, we can start preparing the raw materials.

 The second item is dish production, which ultimately needs to be completed between 17:45-18:00.

If there is a deviation in time, you will be disqualified from participating in the Sabbat. "

“Understood, if there are so many people cooking together, can the kitchen accommodate them?”

“Don’t worry, the specifications of the kitchen in the Magic Banquet Room will change according to the number of people, and the chef will also supervise the whole process to ensure that there is no influence on each other when making meals.”

"good."

 This time, the way to the kitchen is no longer through the secret passage, but directly to the restaurant area where the Sabbat is held.

 A large number of attendants with poker faces are decorating the restaurant.

Not only for the layout of the dining table, but also for placing pieces of scary decorations that can increase appetite and adjust the atmosphere in diagonally adjacent alcoves.

Such as the organ rockery, large intestine melting candle, crawling fingers, etc., each of them is enough to be called a collection of fear.

However, William is more concerned about the dining table. The long dining table used for banquets is formed by "splicing", with poker faces holding aged corpses.

 Dry, stiff and flat,

However, if you look closely, they don't look like humans. Some skulls are ellipsoid-shaped, and some have long torsos, more like humanoid aliens, but they have unified characteristics, and they exude a strong aura of fear.

 Poker Face assembled these corpses and slowly formed a long table like he was playing a jigsaw puzzle.

 What’s strange is that there are only tables but no seats.

William looked around and asked, "Have the seats not been shipped yet?"

Jain explained on the side, "The seats will be customized according to the characteristics of the participants, and they will be served on the table at the end. It's still early."

“Then I will also have a seat based on characteristics.”

"I don't know about this. Special cases like you, William, are basically rare... In the past, any non-main members who participated in the Sabbat would appear directly on the table in the form of dishes, so there was no problem of seats."

 “Haha~” William could only respond with a laugh.

“Let’s go, hurry up... I have a bad feeling that today’s Sabbat seems a little different.”

The special passage from the kitchen to the banquet hall has been opened. After comprehensive disinfection, William still wore gentleman's clothes and only put on a chef's apron and passed the inspection.

 “William!”

As soon as he stepped into the kitchen, he heard a familiar voice. Standing in the vegetable garden, Catherine was jumping up and down with a vegetable basket in one hand and waving.

With Catherine's shout, the main members in the kitchen all turned their heads and looked at the newcomer who had joined the Sabbat as an exception.

William was a little embarrassed and found that he was actually the last to arrive. "Did everyone arrive before me?"

At this time, Jain also came out and put a hand on his shoulder, "What else? The Sabbat is very important. I was a little late because of the need for makeup."

 With the arrival of the last two participants, William and Jain,

A sound of flesh being squeezed came from the incinerator, and Chef Timmy, who was covered in tongues, walked out of the flames.

 When the soles of the feet fell back to the floor of the kitchen, whoosh! The whole body tongue armor was quickly retracted, a large part was retracted into the body, and the remaining part was accumulated between the respiratory mask on the face.

Chef Timmy is holding a weird syringe in one hand, which still contains special nutrients, like some kind of live eggs or some kind of larvae.

 In his other hand, he held a crystal bead containing primitive fear.

Snapped! As the crystal beads were crushed by the chef,

The overflowing primitive fear was immediately absorbed by the kitchen floor, and there was a feeling that the space was activated, or that it was like a circus tent being activated.

The entire kitchen space immediately began to expand, and new cooking utensils even grew from the floor until the size accommodated the number of participants.

 No one was surprised by this, except William who was quite shocked.

 He really felt the awakening and squirming of some terrible living creature just now, and a terrible idea formed in his mind.

“Could it be that [Circus Tent] is a subspace creature fed by the boss that specializes in feeding on fear? 』

Dang, Dang, Dang!

 Chef Timmy tapped the surface of the pot lid with a steel spoon, and the crisp sound attracted everyone's attention.

“I mentioned something while injecting the boss with nutrient solution. Today’s Sabbat is a little different.

The boss seemed to be very interested, so he temporarily added a rule that required [meat] to be included in the dishes made by each participant today.

  You can choose any piece of meat in the meat cabinet, but you can only choose one piece at most. "

 As soon as these words came out, Mr. Rabbit, Jain and Art all stared slightly. This was the first time such a rigid requirement had appeared. Although they were already familiar with meat processing, such a temporary condition would inevitably disrupt their cooking plans.

Ja En also immediately understood the origin of this rule and gently patted William on the shoulder, "It seems that the chef should have mentioned your cooking level in the boss's ear.

 The rules were temporarily added in order to prevent you, the newcomer, from being in the limelight at the Sabbat.

 After all, most of us here have experience with meat. "

William laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha, that's right... Are there any precautions when using meat?"

At this time, Jain's expression under the mask became serious, "Chef Timmy should be able to teach you. From now on, I will carefully plan the dishes and cannot continue to communicate with you. William, please do your best."

"yes…"

 Currently, the only [meat cabinet] in the back kitchen is already crowded with members selecting cuts of meat.

Jane used a special abyss magic to pick up an object from a distance, directly grabbing a piece of meat of a decent size in his hand, and then started making his dish.

As a newcomer, William naturally cannot be anxious, and he should not be tempted to fight for it.

 After everyone finished selecting, he slowly came to the mysterious and taboo meat cabinet, with only three pieces of meat left in it.

 A piece of fat like the buttocks, which is large and fat.

The piece is only the size of a fingernail, and because it has been stored for a long time, the meat has aged and dried out.

 There is also a piece of meat of moderate size, but the shape is very strange. The surface is full of pores visible to the naked eye. It is even sucking continuously, as if it wants to let the "hair" from the outside world penetrate into it.

 After hesitating for a moment, William chose a weirder but appropriately sized piece of meat.

At this time, Catherine deliberately walked by and glanced at the piece of meat in William's hand, "William, you really know how to choose... Hehe! Next, I have to cook seriously, so don't disturb me today, unexpected rules Everyone is very nervous.”

 “You guy…”

When William came to the kitchen reserved for him, Chef Timmy also arrived.

“Since this is your first time handling [meat], I need to remind you a few words. The “scalp meat” you chose is more difficult to handle and is also the most dangerous type of meat.

Even though there are so many people working in the kitchen, you still need to pay attention to possible hair. Once your hair gets stuck in the flesh, you will not only be disqualified, but also be severely punished.

In addition, there must be no waste when processing raw materials, and the meat content of the final product must not be less than 90%.

Hurry up and read this "Handbook for Handling Fearful Meat", and don't make any mistakes in the process of handling meat. "

"good!"

William took the black booklet, unlike the circus members who were writing recipes, collecting ingredients or making other preparations.

William first used clothing to wrap the scalp meat he chose, and began to read a book on the cutting board. While learning how to handle the meat, he started to design a new dish.
