Chapter.40 Cooking Competition

“Oh, I understand! You can eat it. “I will eat it gratefully.”

In the end, Licent also brought the skewer to his mouth. With an expression like a frightened baby bird, he trembled and ate the top part of the skewer with a yap. And close both eyes.

He chewed and after a while, his face started to turn red.

“Oh my this! What is this? “It’s savory, sweet, and has a great texture!”

“But who was the one who didn’t eat because he was scared when he did it earlier?”

“That that that! “Is that sound still coming out after that accident?”

“sorry. “It’s surrender.”

I have nothing to say again. I am a sinner. sinner.

Well, it’s a huge mistake, so I have to admit it honestly.

Anyway, the thighs were well received.

“If a new dish like this tastes good, wouldn’t it be popular? If only the judges were fair… .”

“So you’re saying don’t worry about that?”

“Because of the wizard?”

“What, a combination of many things? Please believe me. “What’s the point of being on the same boat?”

“I believe it! “I’m just saying this because I’m anxious.”

Anyway, I’m relieved that the reviews from people here are also good, and then it’s time for the next skewer.

“Anyway, the next dish… “This is it.”

This time it’s a chicken skin dish.

Chicken skin chicken is made by removing the skin of the chicken and grilling it until it is crispy, just as the skin of the chicken is its life. In Japan, this is called kawa. The skin of the neck was grilled and made with soy sauce.

It is a so-called skewer feast where you can enjoy various textures.

First, you eat a soft chicken breast skewer, then you enjoy the crunchy texture of the skin, and then you get a thigh to enjoy the fatty taste. It’s a feast of textures.

Fourth, we prepared chicken gizzards with the chewiest texture. In Korea, it is also called chicken gizzard restaurant. If you’re fascinated by that chewy texture, you won’t be able to eat anything else. The combination of flavor, chewiness, and sauce creates a world.

Soft, then crunchy, and then soft with a bit of texture. Lastly, chewy.

Afterwards, we finish with slightly spicy chicken breast skewers made with proper Korean peppers this time.

If you add beer to it, isn’t it honestly invincible?

And then there was the lottery for seats the next day.

Interferences that did not even seem like interference were blown high into the sky, and other interferences are scheduled to be blown away without mercy.

At the spot lottery ceremony, all store participants gather and the atmosphere is noisy. Would you say it feels like the eve of a festival?

“Ricent.”

“yes.”

“Let’s just go to the last seat.”

And I ordered the last digit from Licent. In any case, there will be no way for Licent to take over a good spot.

If you look at the Leain siblings over there with their arrogant expressions on their faces, you will get the answer, right?

Since everything is divided by the cooking competition anyway, it is more convenient to be at the end where there is no check from other participants except the Leain siblings.

“But the last position is the same as being in last place… .”

“I told you yesterday. “It’s the same anyway.”

“But that’s true.”

“If I decide to believe, I will believe until the end. Anyway, the cooking competition is decided by judges, so the place is meaningless. If winning is your goal. For a mediocre ranking, position is very important. “Like those people over there.”

When I pointed out the figures participating in the lottery with the expressions of people risking their lives for their seats and betting all their money on horse racing, Licent eventually nodded.

“all right!”

Licent ran to draw the lottery. Since Leain Chamber of Commerce is the largest merchant association in the region, its influence will be enormous even if it is not the organizer.

As a result, the good spot is being encroached upon by Merli, the restaurant of Leain Trading Company.

Meanwhile, only the eastern branch of Liscent in Merly was treated poorly. It is not surprising as it is natural.

“The middle order was selected in the lottery, but as you said, I just chose the last place.”

“Well done. “Let’s create a miracle.”

“I made it this far, so if I mess up, do I have to tell you all the recipes?”

Licent held my arm and spoke as if pleading.

“Cancer. I have to tell you everything. If you don’t win, I’ll tell you everything. What I said once is that I am a man who takes responsibility properly. Hehehe.”

“What are you saying? Tea indeed. “Why is it so hot?”

Licent fans himself with his hand.

What are you doing?

“I heard you chose the last seat?”

And, as if it was sad to stay still, Leain Seren, or Licent’s stepsister, appeared and started laughing.

“Yes, I did.”

“Phew. Have you finally come to your senses? Or have you finally realized your situation? But it’s already too late. I’ll follow you through thoroughly, so just wait. “It looks like I was lucky enough to avoid it yesterday.”

Leain Seren said that while looking Licent up and down, then turned his head and disappeared.

“… … “I don’t even get angry about things like that anymore.”

Licent just shrugged his shoulders calmly.

***

“As I said last time, we will hand over part of the management rights of the trading company to the winner of this festival.”

“father. that… .”

“You took over the vice president role from your uncle in the same way, right? “Competition is natural for the sake of the company, so you know that.”

“That’s true.”

“what is the problem? Isn’t that enough if you win? This is a fight that is incredibly advantageous to you. If you lose there, all you can say is that you are trash. Don’t fall for things like Rcent. “Because I don’t want to acknowledge the child who came out.”

“father… that… “Why does a guy like that have any qualifications!”

“If you have the ability, I recognize it. That’s it. On the other hand, if you win no matter what you do, there will be no need for Riccent, as it means that in the end, you will not have any useful abilities in the upper world.”

“That’s right.”

“that’s right. “It’s natural that your brother will win, so don’t worry.”

“joy. I am a meritocracy. “If my blood is in your blood, I will make you work no matter how basic you are, as long as you have the skills.”

“All right.”

Leain Deren and Saren looked at each other. I knew very well that this was the kind of father I was, so I had nothing more to say.

Anyway, I confirmed again that I could use whatever method I could, so I nodded with a satisfied face.

In that situation, Leain Saint looked at the store and tilted his head.

“What on earth was this guy thinking when he picked the last spot? “Did you do it yourself?”

“no. That was surprising to me too. Of course, I didn’t plan on giving him a good spot, but he chose the last spot on his own.”

Then, Leain Saren suddenly joined the conversation.

“He didn’t seem to think anything of it. “Have you given up completely?”

“Well, if you’re planning something, that’s a good thing. After all, the merchant association needs that kind of resourcefulness. “If he’s so desperate that he doesn’t know anything about it, he’s really useless.”

Leain Saint watched with interest and shook his head. This is because there seemed to be no particular solution for Licent.

As expected, Leain Deren has already tried his hand at all of the judges.

So what kind of exit is there?

Even the places where we can rub are at the very end.

“Then is it also trash?”

Leain Saint muttered that while turning his back.

***

That night.

When I returned to Rare, I soaked in the bath for a long time to wash off the skewer smell that had permeated my body, and then returned to bed with a tired body.

On the other hand, Lurin, who was sleeping on my back or lounging around for most of the time, was lying on the bed with a lively look, humming to herself.

That moment when you lie down next to him, feel the warmth and fatigue of the bed, and give in to the urge to sleep like this.

He sneakily approached me, got on top of me, and muttered.

“Does this body give you a massage?”

That dreaded massage that shattered my shoulder a few days ago?

“no.”

“What is it? “You have to do it often to improve!”

“I don’t think that’s what a guy who exploded and left would say.”

“That’s because you are different from yourself!”

“what? “What on earth does that mean?”

You and I are different. Are you different from me? What are you talking about?

“If you really have to do it, you can’t help it. Am I going to sleep? “I guess I’ll have to grill skewers all day tomorrow.”

“Uuuuuu! “I think you’re worse than that bad El guy!”

“Bad El?”

In addition to me and others, bad Elle also appeared. Did you even have a dream?

“Why do I sometimes say strange things these days? “What about our Lulin?”

He asked bluntly, but Lulin narrowed his eyes and answered firmly.

“There is such a thing. “It’s something only I know.”

ah. Please.

She’s a secretive woman. Secrets are beautiful. Lurin said that and as if something stung her, she slowly got down from above me and disappeared out of the bedroom.

What is it? Eh, I don’t know.

I gave up on the idea. In times like this, sleeping is the best. Let’s get some sleep.

So, as I was about to close my eyes, he suddenly came running towards me, jumped next to me, and made a strong claim.

“good night. “I give up on massage.”

“Then can I sleep?”

I guess I can sleep well since you give it to me. I asked with that wish in mind. For the well-being of my shoulders and spine, I must accept concessions right away when they are made.

“What are you talking about?”

But Lurin looked at me with an expression as if she had heard that she was hungry but there was no food.

“More than that! This is it. I’m going to do this!”

“huh?”

What is this?

For some reason, this guy who is annoying at everything is very motivated. My eyebrows are trembling. The mouth is fully retracted.

If you put all these things together, you can see that you are in a state where you want to do something stronger.

Now that I think about it, there is something in Lulin’s hand. He was holding it tightly and his eyes were shining as if he was going to do this.

When I looked closely, it felt like a cotton swab, but it wasn’t a cotton swab. That was an earpick.

Earpicks?

How many times have I dug my ears out? So that guy is also familiar with holding earpicks.

The problem is why a guy who likes receiving massages suddenly wants to give me a massage or dig my ear.

It wouldn’t matter if she did it with a pure heart, but the general fact is that when Rurin does this, there are many cases where people around her instigate it.

“why?”

“What’s the reason? “Because I want to dig my ears!”

“Oh yeah? Do you want to dig?”

Nod.

He was sitting on my stomach, then came down and tapped my thigh. It meant that they would not forgive rejection, so come and lay your head on it.

I felt uncomfortable because I didn’t know what my ultimate goal was, but I did as I wanted and laid down on Rurin’s thighs.

A warm feeling permeates me. The feeling is completely different from when you are sleeping on a pillow. It’s comfortable and somewhat like a mother’s embrace, so I fall asleep.

This condition is very good because it smells good. It’s not bad.

This is the problem.

Now the earpick should go into my ear. However, Lulin was doing nothing except snoring while holding an earpiece.

“Has it started? Lulin?”

“I’m going to do this now! “Stay still.”

Why do you stutter? The stutter makes it even more suspicious. There is absolutely no need to stutter if the purpose is to simply sell your ears.
