The Last Gentleman

Chapter 502: mandatory requirement

  Chapter 502 mandatory requirements

  Due to the tight schedule this month, William originally planned to go to the acrobatic troupe for a face-to-face meeting but failed.

  This time, we may be able to take the opportunity of cooking together in the back kitchen to talk to Mr. Rabbit, who is second only to the boss. William still cared very much about the body.

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

  "Senior Jain, it is said that the Magic Banquet invites all the main members of the circus to go. To ensure the freshness of the dishes, there should be a requirement to serve meals at the same time, right?

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

   "Yes, the production of the dishes of the Sabbat is mainly divided into two parts,

  The first item is the preparation of raw materials. From the time we arrive in the back kitchen, we can start to prepare raw materials.

  The second item is the preparation of dishes, and the final meal needs to be completed during the period of 17:45-18:00.

  If there is a time deviation, you will be deprived of the qualification to participate in the Sabbat. "

   "Understood, so many people cook together, can the back kitchen fit in?"

   "Don't worry, the specifications of the back kitchen in the Sabbat room will be changed according to the additional personnel, and the chef will also supervise the whole process to ensure that there is no mutual influence when making meals."

"good."

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

  A large number of poker faces dressed as servants are being arranged in the restaurant,

  It is not only for the layout of the dining table, but also to place pieces of fear decorations that can increase appetite and adjust the atmosphere in the obliquely adjacent alcoves,

  Such as organ rockeries, large intestine melting candles, climbing fingers, etc., each one is enough to be called a fear collection.

  However, William is more concerned about the dining table. The long dining table used for banquets is formed by 'splicing', and the poker faces are carrying corpses with years on them.

   shriveled, stiff and flat,

   But upon closer inspection, they are not quite human-like. Some skulls are ellipsoidal, and some torsos are elongated, more like a human-like alien, but they have uniform characteristics, and they exude a strong breath of fear from top to bottom.

  Poker Face assembles these corpses, slowly forming a long table like playing a jigsaw puzzle,

   It is strange that there are only tables, but no seats.

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

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

   "Then I will also have a seat based on the characteristics."

   "I don't know about that. There are basically no special cases like William... In the past, any non-key members who participated in the Sabbat would appear directly on the table in the form of dishes. Naturally, there is no problem with seats."

   "Haha~" William could only respond with an awkward smile.

   "Let's go, hurry up... I have a vague premonition that today's Sabbat seems to be a little different."

  The special channel connecting the back kitchen to the banquet hall has been opened. After a thorough sterilization, William still kept his gentleman's attire and passed the test with only a chef's apron on.

   "William!"

  As soon as she stepped into the back kitchen, she heard a familiar voice. Catherine was bouncing and waving while standing among the vegetable gardens, holding a vegetable basket in one hand.

  Following Catherine's yell, the main members in the back kitchen also turned their heads and looked at the newcomer who joined the Sabbat due to a special case.

  William was a little embarrassed, and found that he was the last one to arrive, "This...does everyone arrive before me?"

  At this time, Jain also came out and put a hand on his shoulder, "Otherwise? 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,

   There was a sound of flesh squeezed from the incinerator, and Chef Timmy, who was wrapped in tongues all over his body, walked out of the incinerator,

   When the soles of the feet fall back to the ground in the back kitchen, whoosh! The whole body tongue armor was quickly recovered, most of it was withdrawn into the body, and some were piled up between the breathing masks on the face.

  Chef Timmy holds a weird syringe in one hand, and there are still special nutrients in it, like some kind of live eggs or some kind of larvae.

   And 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 back kitchen floor, and there was a feeling of activation of the space, or the activation of the circus tent.

  The entire back kitchen space immediately began to expand, and even brand new cooking utensils grew from the ground until the size adapted to the number of participants.

  Everyone is not surprised by this, only William is quite shocked,

  He really felt the awakening and wriggling 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 who specializes in eating fear? 』

   Dang Dang Dang Dang!

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

   "I talked about one thing during the process of injecting the boss with the nutrient solution. Today's magic banquet is a little different.

  The boss seems to be very interested, so he temporarily added a rule, requiring that [meat] must be added to the dishes made by every 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 this remark was made, Mr. Rabbit, Jain and Art all stared slightly. This is the first time that such a rigid requirement has appeared. Although they are already familiar with the handling of meat, such a temporary insertion will inevitably disrupt their cooking plan.

  Jain also immediately recalled the origin of this rule, and lightly patted William on the shoulder, "It seems that the chef should have mentioned your cooking standards in the boss' ear,

  Rules added temporarily in order to prevent you, a newcomer, from showing off at the Sabbat.

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

  William laughed awkwardly, "Haha, also... Are there any precautions when using meat?"

  At this time, the expression under Jain's mask became serious, "Chef Timmy should be able to teach you. From now on, I will seriously conceive the dishes, and I can't 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 picking meat,

  Jain used a special trick of abyss magic to fetch objects from the air, and directly grabbed a piece of meat of a moderate size in his hand, and then began to make his dishes.

  As a rookie, William naturally can't be in a hurry, and don't bother to fight for it.

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

  A piece of fat on the buttocks, too big and fat,

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

   There is also a piece of meat of moderate size, but its shape is very strange. The surface is full of pores visible to the naked eye, and it is even sucking continuously, as if it wants to insert the 'hair' from the outside world.

  After hesitating for a moment, William still chose a rather weird but suitable sized piece of meat.

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

   "You bastard..."

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

  "Because of the [meat] you are handling for the first time, I need to remind you a few words. The "scalp meat" you chose is the most difficult and most dangerous meat quality.

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

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

  This "Handling Handbook of Fearful Meat" you have to read it quickly, and don't make mistakes in the process of handling meat. "

"good!"

  William takes the black booklet, unlike the circus members who are writing recipes, gathering ingredients, or making other preparations,

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