Cooking in Another World

In the morning when I woke up, I went to the bathroom to wash up as I thought to myself, "Momoa have left for the city, I should make my move soon as well. Ever since my previous quest, I have not receive any new quest yet. Maybe I would have to own a store and unlock the shop function before I'll receive a new quest. Today shall be last day I am going to sell food since I already have enough money and I am going to leave soon."

I went outside and as I walk to the forest, many villagers were able to recognise me as some started talking to me. Since the village was not big and my cooking had gotten me quite a lot of fame, most villagers already know who I am.

As night come, I started cooking and all of my customers came. Among them, Mr Wang and Xiao Bing is my regulars. As the village head, Xiao Lan Feng was too busy with his work, Xiao Bing could only get her uncle Wang to bring her here. Because of Xiao Bing childish and dumb personality, I started treating her well like how I would treat a younger sibling if I ever had one.

"Lee Ren, it seems that I will not be able to eat your food for quite a while as I'm going to go to another place soon." Wang Zhi Qiang said.

" Uncle Wang, even if you were to stay here, I'm afraid that you won't have the chance to since I'm traveling soon as well. Today is the last day I will be selling my food here." I replied.

"Hmm you are leaving the village? Where are you going?" Wang Zhi Qiang asked.

"To the Tiny Dog City." I answered

"Oh you are going to tiny dog city as well, me too! Wanna come along with us? Uncle Wang can give you a ride on his carriage." Xiao Bing appeared all of a sudden and said.

" Ohh?" I look at Mr Wang as he said to me "Yeah if you don't mind, the more the merrier. As long as you cook for us during the journey."

"Then I won't reject you're offer. As for cooking, hmmpt even if you offer to cook, I will definitely say no." I jokingly replied.

"You little brat." Wang Zhi Qiang smiled and said.

"Bandits!!!"

All of a sudden, a loud cry was heard throughout the village. "Bandits?" I turn around and look at Wang Zhi Qiang. He then said " This is not good, only large bandit groups dares to attack a village."

"Shit they are here." One of my customers said. As if they were attracted by the scent of my food, a large group of the bandits came to my area.

"It's the Big Jaw bandits, we are in serious trouble. Where ever they go, death follows. From what I heard, they love to kill and eat at the same time. Shit what are they doing here in the 4th continent, aren't they only active in the 5th continent?" Wang Zhi Qiang whispered to me. As he is a travelling merchant and a successful one at it, he knows much more than an average person.

"Who is the one that has been cooking here?" A bald man with a large scar that ran from the top of his right upper eyebrows to the bottom of his chin said.

Helplessly, I could only own up. "They will start their massacre when they receive their food." Wang Zhi Qiang whispered to me.

"As if they won't start a massacre if they don't receive any food. Trust me." I whispered back to him.

"Make me a dish that is enough to feed 50 mens." the bald man said to me.

"Okay." I replied.

As I began cooking, the bandits gathered the villages all around here. "The bandits have gathered almost all of the villagers here, look like what Mr Wang told me is true. Do I really have to resort to that?" I thought to myself.

I decided to cook a pot of Chicken and carrot soup since it is the easiest to cook for a large number of people. When the bandits smelt the food, they started swallowing their saliva. "This man sure can cook, big brother." A man that is dressed and looks like a scholar said.

"Maybe we could keep this fella alive?" Another man with am afro said.

"No all must die, also as if you will let someone live." the bald man replies. The three of them are the cold cut trio. The bald man is the big brother, the scholar looking one is the 2nd brother and the one with an afro is the little brother.

As my senses were enhanced by the master chef title, I managed to overhear what they said. "Looks like there is no other way." I shake my head as I secretly took out the demonic hell curse potato, wash, remove the skin and cut it into small pieces before throwing them into the soup. Unlike earth where there is law, over here is where the strong is the king of the forest. While this world looks beautiful and all, it is also extremely cruel.

After the soup is done, I portion them into 50 bowls and passed them to the bandits. When passing, I purposely passed the bowl of soup to the bald man who seems to be their leader last, hoping that non of them will start eating before the leader eats. Luckily my plan was not ruined and the bald man ordered everyone to eat before digging in himself impatiently. Normally, the bald man would get someone to taste for poison but this time, as the food smelt too delicious, all of them lost their thinking ability and just started eating when the boss said so.

"Argggg" one of the bandits grabbed his throat all of a sudden as he struggled to talk. Soon many bandits followed his action.

"What's going on?" the big brother turn around and look at his other two brothers as they also started to choke. "Shit we have been poisoned !" the big brother realised but it was late.

"You little bastard, die for me!" he shouted as he jump from his seat towards me.

"Am I going to die again?" I thought to myself as I saw the bald man flying towards me. He was so fast that he almost reached me in 0.5 seconds. But just as he was about to hit me with his palm, a strong kick came flying his way.

"Hmmpt!" the big brother blocked the kick with his arm as he flew backwards and slided on the ground for a few metres before stopping. Xiao Lan Feng stood in front of me with his arms around his back and said coldly " Oldest of the cold cut trio of the big jaw bandits, what gave you the guts to attack my village."

"Head of the porcini village, you are just level 121 while I am almost level 200. Even if the both of us are grade c fighters, our strength is world apart." The big brother looked at the village head.

"Hmpt, keep pretending. If it was before, I would definitely not be able to fight you but now that you are so badly poisoned, you barely even have the strength of a grade c fighter." Xiao Lan Feng snorted.

"Bastard!" the big brother shouted as veins appeared on his bald head. The bald man and Xiao Lan Feng then started their exchange.

While the two of them continue fighting, I started to receive notices from the system.
