A Single Mother's Farm of the Gods-Chapter 425: Victory Celebration Invitation

Two weeks after the ending of the war, the King announced a Victory Celebration to be held at the Capital. A celebration to honor and also to reward those who have performed well during the war and also to celebrate the successful defense against invaders who wanted to claim the lands of Darcero.

"Eh? I have to go and help out over at the kitchen to help with food preparation?" Elaina was surprised when Princess Tabatha came by to reveal the information.

"Yes. Brother have bragged about how your cooking was the one who brought victory to the war and if not for the food you rationed to the soldiers, then the war would have been not in our favor. And although I agree that you join in, you should have been treated ss VIP instead of helping to work. However, Father said that if your cooking was indeed the one that brought victory, we should also serve it during the banquet."

Elaina scratches her head. It would have been an honor to take part on such an occassion but she wanted to remain on the farm and work on the fields. It’s not that she isn’t interested nor she doesn’t want to cook, she just wanted to focus first on working at the farm and have everything done. freewebnoveℓ.com

"Ah, don’t worry Master. We are not forcing you to help with the work. Its not mandatory to have you join and help out. Its only if you are available and would like to help out on things. If you are unavailable at that time, then I can just send the message to my Father."

"No, no. Don’t worry, I will attend. But is it alright for me to work in the kitchen? Just so you know that I don’t have much knowledge in cooking nobles and aristocratic dishes as well as royal dishes even though I was previously a royal. I only ate those foods but never have tried to cook it."

"No need to worry about the food that you will be serving, Master. Sir Douglas will also be helping out and when he heard that you will be invited, he seems to anticipate your participation and gave a signal that he will help out if you plan to join and accept."

Hearing that, Elaina is relieved as Douglas is much more experienced in cooking. Not only it was fortunate, if he decided to join in, perhaps she will also gain mastery from satisfying multiple people at once with her cooking and that would be a boon to her cooking mastery.

"[I can easily telk what you are thinking nowadays, Elaina. Don’t worry, farming process will continue like always, do what you wanted to do and no one is forcing you to join in. If you want to boost your mastery though, I will agree with you. This would be a great opportunity to boost the growth of that mastery. It isn’t just everydat you get to serve food for royals and the public so easily without going charity work or opening restaurant.]" The God of Farming said his thoughts to Elaina.

Elaina nodded in agreement with the God of Farming’s words. It isn’t just everyday she will receive such an honor to help out on things related to the royals. Considering how high the palates of the people who usually attends the banquets that the royals hold, if she could satisfy their palates, that means her skills in cooking have achieved a higher rank indeed.

"Tell your father and brother that I will attend, Princess. I hope you all procure the best ingredients though."

"Ah, one more matter as well, Master. As part of the Market’s executives, I will be purchasing a bulk of your goods to be used for the banquet. Considering how your crops are fresh and high quality, having your goods be used to be served to the guest and the common people would be a good move to also promote your farm’s reputation, no?"

Elaina is surprised by Princess Tabatha’s words. Her crops would be purchased in bulk to be used for the preparation and the feast!

"If that is the case, then you might take a look at our newly harvested crops and see which ones you need. You might like a few of these."

And so, the two conducted business like professionals, bargaining and haggling on prices until both parties are satisfied.

"Looking forward to your participation, Miss Elaina. With your participation, the banquey would be quite pleasing and not boring this time around. The celebration will begin next week."

"Good to know, good day."

Once the conversation is over, Elaina lies down to the sofa with a tired look on her face.

"Wow, just like her title, her capabilities to haggle was quite something. I thought I would lose the upperhand. Being the one who runs the market, she knows how to do business. She is a tough opponent that is for sure."

"[But I can also see in you that you only gave her the upperhand but everything is under your control. How devious.]"

"Of course. If I don’t want to get ripped off in the process, even if that person is someone is like the Princess, I will not just sit idly and let her take chances of getting my goods cheap. I know what I am doing and you also know how much the vegetables I grow is not your ordinary crop to begin with."

"[Well, I am not well versed on that kind of world so I might not understand, so I will leave that matters to you who is an expert. I will just stay quiet on that one.]" The God of Farming said.

Then, the God of Farming added one more reminder for Elaina.

"[By the way, Elaina. I have already finished developing the new crop. Its a fruit tree this time around but since it is an experimental one, you will be taking the task as usual, got it? Also, the other seeds that you have recently approved are going to be debuting as new seeds for sale in the future.]"
