Master Of None

Chapter 1918: 1918. Buffed Food

Lisa quickly moved around and grabbed what she needed. She had the desire to start experimenting and trying to use the new materials that Walker had brought. She knew that they would bring her new inspiration along with being able to handle more sewn runes compounded in formations that rune carvers used.

However, she was way more interested in spending the afternoon with Walker and their mother. They could eat and hear more about what Walker had done in the Sigil continent. It would be a lot more fun hearing about the adventures that he had been on. Especially since she looked forward to them since the first time he had gone out as an adventurer.

The blooming atmosphere that was surrounding those at the restaurant and bakery that Walkerʼs mother had grown was intense. Many people cheering when their food came out. Many people raving about the spicy and new flavors that arrived with each special offered monthly. These things were just small parts of why every recipe had taken off instantly.

This only grew the more that they walked in to the outside dining area. Many people were sitting there, they werenʼt just nibbles from other kingdoms or adventurers. They were from all walks of life. From every race. It was a very clear example of what came from those that welcomed all and were willing to experiment with foods from every race.

The elves were eating multiple dishes made of exotic fruits and vegetables. Some dried or some freshly grown. But when Walker saw that they were even baked in to different pastries that still were without animal products, it was amazing. The true essence that came with, right from the farm, was in every dish an elf had.

The demi-humans had a clear favorite as well. Hearty meat dishes with piles of roasted vegetables graced their plates. They were enjoying the fruits of the labor that the many demi-human farms created in livestock and in produce. Two very different feelings from foods that were harvested just outside of Genesis on farms.

But when Walker smelled the familiar scent of herbs before they reached the front door, he couldnʼt stop himself from looking over and using the all around appraisal on the dish he saw.

ʼSpring tail salad

The spring tail salad uses a picked spring tail dressing. The spring tail is a specific herb known to increase energy and help hold of weariness from work. While it is normally used in small potions to allow certain herbs to mix well, it is also used in unique methods of cooking.

This dish will give increased energy and clear the mind due to the addition of this spring tail herb within it. This enhances the quality as well filly creating a buffed dish. Or what is also known as high cooking.ʼ

The fact that this dish was completely outside what a normal dish would be stunned Walker. Especially with the fact that it could help relax and clear the mind. The boost in energy was also a great benefit to workers who needed a good pick me up between their day. It could make everyone work and feel much better.

While looking around, many more dishes caught his eyes with other herbs added giving many moire buffs. One even used a green fire lily before it had bloomed. It was a way to help the one eating it gain a better handle on fire type manas. It was able to warm the body relaxing the muscles too.

A dish that both helped some one grasp an affinity they already had while helping them relax? Such a meal would be ideal for fire mages, especially the older fire mages that were normally hunched over their research often. This was peak cooking!

”Welcome to the best eatery within all of Genesis, what can I do you you two today?” The woman that greeted them was clearly just going through the motions. She clearly recognized Walker and Lisa as her bosses children.

”Well, we were hoping to eat with our mother to talk and relax a bit. But I think I will head to the kitchens dn try to learn something new.” Walker was too tempted. The special cooking methods that allowed herbs to be added must be amazing. They would be very valuable to learn when the party was out and about. Especially during battles.

Having the ability to buff yourself and help heal or prepare yourself was important. For an entire army? It could change the strength immensely.

Just being able to quickly heal the fatigue from traveling would make the army much stronger. Then the fact that they could on top of that use buffs from eating that would help them in controlling mamas? That was a game changer.

”Well I thought I heard a familiar voice.” Hearing his mothers voice over the conversations going on over meals made Walkerʼs head shoot up.

His mother was clearly full of energy during this lunch rush. But she was completely clean. Not a speck of food or dirt touched her apron. It was clearly the mark of a highly trained chef.

”I heard that you are cooking buffed food. Or is it high cooking? I will try my hand.” Walker grimes with a little bit of playfulness. He knew that his mother would throw him in the kitchen without a second though since she loved when she could share her time cooking with her children.

”Then Lisa, you go start washing some vegetables. I have a lesson for that brother of yours. He hasnʼt come to try my new food in too long. Heʼll be cooking a little more than he realizes.” The slight motherly tone with a teasing expression made Walker feel like he was right back at home ready to cook a big meal for the family.

The kitchen was full of herbs, spices, and flames. Walker felt like he was walking in to another world. The smaller kitchen had been expanded to triple the size. It was clear that they had purchased the storage rooms from the shops behind them and built the buildings together.

”What do you think? Itʼs a real kitchen now.” Walkers mother beamed with pride as Walkers jaw dropped at the many chefs working in perfect coordination.

”Last week a few newer cooks came in. We had trials to see who could keep up. Now I have three spirit chefs that use elemental manas to create enhanced dishes. Thatʼs besides the high cooks that came to learn more about ingredients from other kingdoms. We are making dishes that I didnʼt even know were possible. Even the alchemists have come to watch!”

The laughter was somewhat contagious and many of the cooks chatted while working. Their high energy and upbeat attitudes came from their desire to make new and amazing food. This lighthearted atmosphere was exactly the kind of place anyone in this profession would want to be on.

The shocking part were the extra chefs experimenting with new ingredients. Dicing and blending herbs to see if they could help their food. To make new recipes that would boost the abilities of everyone that needed them. It was like a lower affinity potion. These dishes could change everything.

”Now, you want to learn what your mother can do, right? Watch closely as I show off a little.” Walkers mother rolled up her sleeves and grabbed a knife nearby.

While Walker had been away, he hadnʼt know about the many changes and many system quests people had gotten. As Genesis came together and new things collided, many new system quests and systems came to be.

His mother being one of the people offered a quest to change their system. Instead of the baker she had been, she was now a master spiritual chef. Able to bend mamas within ingredients to help those consuming them. Able to manipulate the fire mana and water mamas within and around foods perfectly.

Multiple mamas moving around as she forced up vegetables and simultaneously tossed spices in to pans to toast before mixing the two. It was a dance like he had seen growing up but now, it was ten times more enhanced. So much more had come to it. A sense of elegance and brilliance that stood out over everything now.

Roasted meat was pulled from the stone ovens. A delightful Smokey scent around it with the freshness of herbs. It was met with a thin sauce full of hours of hard work. ”Whatʼs that look for? Didnʼt think your mother could whip up something with a little magic in it, did you?”

Walker couldnʼt even come up with the words. It felt like a blink of an eye for the magical performance to appear before him. So many more amazing things still happening. Yet somehow, this dish had come together showing of the I credibly high skills his mother possessed now. It was too much to handle. He was too proud of his family.
