A Single Mother's Farm of the Gods-Chapter 441: "W-WHAT IS THIS?!"
Chapter 441: "W-WHAT IS THIS?!"
Darcero Kingdom’s atmosphere is very lively. Not only because the war is finally over and the defense of the soldiers are successful but also due to how even the commoners are included with the celebration.
While many other countries would not care celebratinf important things with the commoners leaving them starving, Darcero Kingdom is different and they would always make sure that if the Nobles are eating good, the commoners must also eat good and this celebration is no exception to that. This is why even though the Darcero Kingdom is ruled by monarchy like other kingdoms, the people love the Royal Family as they all treat everyone like equal. freewёbnoνel-com
While Elaina and the other chefs are still cooking, the banquet has already started with the usual liveliness of the people. Since even the commoners were included in this celebration, it was also natural for the whole kingdom to be lively.
Princess Tabatha and Princess Margaux have already finished what they were doing and have already changed their dresses as they gather together to meet their parents who are also busy with the final preparations for the banquet.
"Father, Mother, we have arrived," Princess Tabatha and Princess Margaux greeted both their parents as the two finished talking with the other nobles.
"Oh, finally. It seems you two are done with your respective tasks, yes?"
"We have. We also brought along Miss Elaina and she is currently cooking in the kitchen as we speak," Princess Margaux answered.
"Yes. That was actually part of what I am excited about. If all three of my children have praised her cooking, there is no harm in trying it out, right?" the King chuckled.
"Where’s Brother?" Princess Tabatha asked as she noticed that their brother was nowhere nearby.
"Oh, don’t worry about him. He is busy deploying the soldiers around the castle for security purposes. Since it was a celebration, he didn’t want to cause any compromise and danger while everyone was busy with the celebration. He said he will be joining us soon after he is done," the King answered while also caressing his beard.
"Did you already tell her that my husband likes spicy things and he would love to have some good kick of spiciness on the food?" the Queen asked Princess Margaux.
"Yes, I did. I mentioned it to her in advance and I think she has made preparations for it already. Perhaps she already added it to the dishes she will serve Father soon."
"Good to know. Considering that we barely have any good way to eat spicy foods, having to eat it during a banquet would really lift up my mood."
Just as they were talking, the Head Chef entered alongside the other assistant chefs carrying trolleys containing food for the Royal Family. The food for the nobles and the public is still being cooked. The Royal Family’s food is the first to be served and they will be eating first which will be witnessed by all the nobles attending in the banquet.
The Head Chef quickly places the dishes one by one in front of the Royal Family. The King is visibly excited about what they will be eating soon.
"May I present the food that Miss Elaina Zangrande has prepared for the Royal Family? The Roasted Whole Duck and Chicken and Vegetable Soup."
Opening the lid of the dishes, the aroma of the Roasted Whole Duck spreads around the area and the King’s eyes lit up as he basically smell something familiar in the wafting aroma.
"I can’t be wrong about this, I can smell the slight tinge of Paprika here on the Roasted Duck! And the other smell, why, I could even smell the sweet wine of some sort. How come I am not familiar with this wine?" the King turned to look at the Head Chef for explanation.
The Head Chef nodded. "Indeed. Miss Zangrande asked for permission to use her own Paprika and Chili Powder on the dishes that she will be cooking and after testing those products, I have closed off a deal with her that she will supply us with both Paprika and Chili Powder for us. We can now add some spicy kick to the food we serve soon enough. As for the wine, it seems that it was also a prototype wine that she is developing herself but since it was still an experimental wine, it hasn’t hit the market and is still not for sale. It was regretable but that wine can only be tasted from this duck dish, Your Majesty."
Princess Margaux sniffs the air but she couldn’t tell how her Father managed to sniff out the Paprika. However, she does smell the Prototype wine on the duck. She already expected Miss Elaina to use the wine as she have seen her bring a bottle of it with her but she didn’t expect that it would smell that good on a dish.
"The chicken and vegetable soup is not something to be trifled at as well. Even though it looks like a regular soup, I can easily tell how Elaina have watched for the details to make the soup quite good. The broth is nice and even though I haven’t tasted the soup, I can already imagine it by the smell alone," The Queen praised the Chicken and Vegetable soup.
"I thought you can’t smell properly dear, since you got a cold?" the King was surprised.
"Oh! You are right! But how? That’s strange!"
Hearing this Princess Margaux smiled and looked at the Chicken and Vegetable soup. She already heard from Elaina herself that whenever she cooks something, food buffs are added to the food and everyone who eats it, benefits on the effect as a result. This is one of the main reasons why the soldiers and magicians have managed to push back Luminiera Kingdom even though the other camp sabotage the line of food supply for the army.
And since her Mother is sick, having her manage to get a good sniff of smell from thr aroma alone is enough to know that there is another buff present in the food. Princess Margaux noted to herself that she will personally thank Elaina for the help.
Before everyone can continue with the praises, the First Prince entered with his wife and son.
"I think that is enough with the praises and appreciation of the food and let’s get going with the food consumption, yes?" he said smiling.
The King laugh at his Son’s comment.
"Hahaha, you are right, we can praise it more once we are done eating."
The maids quickly started their work and distribute the food to everyone. Princess Margaux almost brought her usual habit back in Elaina’s house of grabbing the food from the food source herself without having any maids to help her. Considering this was in the palace, she almost show it to them and made some errors. Thankfully, she have fully controlled her impulses.
And it seems not only Princess Margaux who got their habits displayed, even Princess Tabatha as well. Since she has been joining Elaina and her family in regular eating sessions, she have also developed the habit of eating without the prompt of a maid. Both sisters didn’t notice one another but they almost show their usual habits and revealed it to the public.
As the food was distributed, everyone started eating. As soon as they shoved the food to their mouth, everyone began shoveling food after food into their mouth.
The maids and the Head Chef were surprised at this that even the nobles who are watching them eat was surprised as the whole family didn’t say anything at all and only shoveling food to their mouths while keeping themselves silent.
And before the maids get the order to refill the food on the King’s plate, the King has already started doing it on his own. Princess Margaux and Princess Tabatha also followed suit on this that greatly shocked everyone.
The whole spectacle was something to behold, not even the nobles could even describe what they are seeing.
And before long, the dishes that was just presented to them disappeared in a flash. Thr Whole Roast Duck is gone and even the bones are still being cleaned up by the family like they are still looking for more. The soup has been long gone and even a single slice of a vegetable is gone. Even the son of the First Prince who usually avoids vegetables like a plague suddenly found himself eating the food without even avoiding the vegetables and going for the meat alone.
Even the Queen who is always prim and proper in eating, has been using her fingers to lick clean the bones of the Whole Roasted Duck.
"Burp."
As soon as the burp of the King resounded around them, the whole family seemed to have woken up from a short dream and their attention was left focused on the aftermath.
"W-WHAT IS THIS?! DID WE JUST EAT THE WHOLE THING OURSELVES WITHOUT SAYING A WORD?" the King couldn’t help but chuckle after realizing this.
