279 – [5] Just follow instructions
#279
“Well… ….”
“That…… In my neighborhood, it’s cheaper and healthier to just buy something rather than cook it… ….”
“And since my parents cooked for me, there was no particular reason to learn… ….”
Three Chinese women who can’t cook much.
But isn’t there a strange image that Chinese people are good at cooking delicious food?
The continent is so big that there are so many dishes, blah blah blah… ….
The fact that they couldn’t cook was something that seemed quite unusual.
Of course, being unique also included signing up for a cooking class despite not being able to cook.
Usually, I take these lectures from the basics and don’t sign up for them without warning.
I sighed and turned my head slightly.
“Ines?”
“Don’t you know better about my cooking skills? “Except for assisting, it is safe to say that you are illiterate in the rest.”
A Southern American woman who claims she only knows how to assist in cooking.
Well, I know him better because we have been cooking together for a semester.
“Hang? Haven’t you cooked food at home with me quite a few times? “It’s not like you don’t know how to cook at all.”
“Oh, I don’t know anyway. “I don’t have enough cooking skills yet to need you to help me a lot.”
She even slightly avoided her gaze and her face subtly blushed.
It seems that Dixie has finally learned how to show humility.
Compared to the days when we were all proud of our pride, we have truly come a long way.
I decided not to turn a blind eye to Inez’s touching humility.
“Yes, I understand.”
“I’m glad you understand. “You know, if I’m going to be able to cook on my own, I’m going to have to spend the next few years with you—”

“You don’t have to do that. “I will take this to mean that you can cook well without me.”
“Huh?”
“You don’t have to be too humble. “After all, now is the time to check each person’s abilities.”
“Oh, no! That’s not it, I really need you to watch over me—”
“Now, next… ….”
A loud voice came out, but I accepted it with American humility and ignored it.
I wonder if the person who has to assist me with my cooking and do small dishes is so humble.
Then I turned my head once more.
“Mr. Shannon.”
“Yes.”
“Shannon, you know how to cook too. “Raise your hand.”
“But I’m not very good at cooking either…… Lol… ….”
“Anyway, you know how to bake something. “It doesn’t have to be at the level of making coal from meat.”
An Irish woman who is not at the level of making coal from food.
Honestly, out of all the people here, except me, Shannon was the next best.
“But although I’ve cooked a lot at home, I’ve never really cooked anything outdoors. Would that be okay?”
“Hey, inside or outside, that’s it. “Even though I’ve never done anything outside, it’s still not that difficult.”
“But I don’t know how to control the fire with my eyes…… “If I just leave it on fire, I don’t think I’ll be able to control it any more.”
“If the fire seems too strong, just add a little water. But don’t just pour it all out. “Just a little, with your mouth.”
“Ah…… That way…… !”
My eyes widened as if I had achieved enlightenment.
Come to think of it, Shannon was also a water school mage.
I thought I could adjust the heat and order the main dish later.
I have some cooking experience, so I don’t think there will be anything like meat from the Burning Nether.
I kept my head in the original position.
I looked at the front, and there were the Chinese Three Musketeers sitting awkwardly.
It was because among the people currently sitting at this table, they were the only ones without much ability.
But it was not shameful for a cadet not to have the ability to cook.
“Well…… Then we…….”
“Anyway, I told you last time, right? “I will help you cook.”
“… ….”
“I will tell you. Just follow the instructions. Well, actually, it’s probably nothing special.”
These three were planning to do the basic parts separately.
Of course, if I asked them to do multiple tasks, even if they were basic, they would get confused in their heads and go crazy, so I planned to only ask them to do one or two tasks.
“First of all, what exactly are the three hunters’ occupations and weapons?”
“You’re a hunter, right? I am…… It’s a dagger because it’s mainly used for rear assassinations…….”
“Mr. Tsurin is a dagger. “What about Mr. Fay?”
“I am the spear and shield! “I usually fight from the front!”
“Mr. Fei is a spear and shield. Lastly, what about Syaoran?”
“…… A bowman. “Reconnaissance is what I mainly do.”
The last person, Syaoran, spoke as weakly as he always did.
After considering their occupations and weapons, I came up with an answer as to what kind of work would suit them.
“Then let’s do it this way. Mr. Tsulin prepares the materials, and Mr. Fei installs the equipment and carries the luggage.”
Since Tsulin mainly used a dagger, I thought he must have some skill with a sword.
If he had any skill in preparing people and monsters, he could have finished preparing the materials in no time.
On the other hand, Fei even used heavy shields and spears in the front line troops.
It was perfectly suited to use as a porter or woodcutter collecting firewood.
“Wait, what about me?”
Then Syaoran asked a question as if it was strange.
This was because only she herself was not mentioned.
“Mr. Syaoran, let’s go hunting with me.”
Lastly, Syaoran.
To cook, you definitely needed the main ingredients.
And the survival cooking lecture aimed to make dishes based on ingredients caught in the field.
I could catch him alone, but that might take a long time, so I was thinking of using Syaoran as a chaser and scout.
“This seems like an appropriate distribution of roles. What do you all think?”
“You entrust this role to a fan…” … “I like it!”
“I like it too.”
“…… “I think it’s okay in its own way.”
“I don’t think it’s bad.”
“I think it is an appropriate appointment. But I still need a lot of your help. “Can you teach me how to cook at my house?”
“Then I’ll just accept that everyone is fine.”
This was the end of the group composition.
Main cook and fire control Shannon, assistant cook and assistant Ines, ingredient preparation Zilin, porter and woodcutter Fei, scout and hunter Syaoran.
It was perfect.
I thought this would be enough to make a decent dish.
“Wait a minute. “By the way, Mr. Xian, what kind of work do you do?”
But then what on earth am I doing?
Isn’t it obvious?
Of course, I have to sit down and supervise the cooking, then sneak out and monitor the target.
Why don’t I cook my own food?
Team leaders in management positions do not do such things.
Why do you cook when your job is to manipulate your subordinates and take away their achievements?
“Me? As the team leader, I check and give instructions to see if you are good at cooking.”
“Hey. “Sian, you’re secretly trying to become the team leader.”
“Umm…… But did we vote for the team leader?”
“Hmm, then is there someone who will be the team leader instead of me?”
No one answered.
This was because everyone knew the position of the team leader for the group project.
A job that is not fun even if you play.
However, it was also a job where one could have fun as long as the subordinates were good at it.
“…… “Mr. Xian is just the team leader.”
After a long silence, a tacit agreement was reached.
That’s how I became the group project team leader.
Now there is one thing I have to do.
I was worried about what kind of recipe I should use so I could get a good score even if I wasted it.
* * *
The rest of the week was really busy.
I was so busy that when I came to my senses, it was next week.
“Oh my gosh.”
Contemplating which recipe to make.
Buy cooking ingredients together.
Bring the entire team home.
Practice cooking with the team members you brought with you.
“Throughout my life, I have seen my childhood friend openly bring home five women.”
“…… “Mari, shouldn’t we leave out Shannon?”
Well, in life, you can bring home five women.
That’s something very strange.
From the beginning, I was living at home with Cheonma-ri, Shannon, and Ayaka.
I didn’t find this situation that strange.
“Woo~ Trash Gangsi~”
“It’s not trash?”
Even though it was strange, I had to think that it wasn’t strange.
Because in this case, the person who is embarrassed or scared loses.
So, I continued to practice cooking with the girls with confidence.
She was able to cook somewhat comfortably because Cheonma-ri was a food evaluator while teasing her.
“… ….”
“Marie? How does it taste this time? Just like you said, it’s spicier than before—”
“Guweeeeeaa—”
Of course…… There was a minor accident that occurred in the middle of the event, with Cheonmae being taken to the hospital due to abdominal pain.
But anyway, with the sacrifice of just one person, we were able to complete the minimum amount of practice, so how could that not be a good thing?
“If you add this much Carolina Reaper pepper…… People can die…… Memo.”
Time passed again, and finally the day of practice arrived.
We gathered in front of the world gate.
