That night, John surprisingly skipped his training with the Universal Qi Training Method. Instead, he lay on the blanket, gazing at the gold coins in his hand. What a remarkable boss he had! With these coins, he dreamed of buying a small shop in a quaint town to open a restaurant—no, a culinary establishment, to sound more upscale.
He brought a coin to his mouth and bit down; it was sweet. The taste of gold was indeed sweet.
As he drifted off to sleep, he hoped for pleasant dreams, and just thinking about it made him chuckle softly.
The next morning, before the sun had risen, John suddenly jolted awake from a nightmare, drenched in cold sweat. He quickly reached into his pocket and sighed with relief; the money pouch was still there.
One cannot become too wealthy all at once; otherwise, they would be plagued by worries. In his dream, he had seen a thief stealing his gold coins, which had been terrifying. He hurriedly opened the pouch.
Fortunately, all his treasures—Big Treasure, Second Treasure, Third Treasure, and Fourth Treasure—were safe.
Carefully securing the pouch back into his pocket, he got up and kicked the lazy ones awake.
“Get up! If you don’t hurry, we’ll be late preparing breakfast for Young Master Redman!”
With the addition of these new helpers, cooking had become increasingly easier over the past few days. All the prep work—washing vegetables, scrubbing pots, and cleaning dishes—could be entrusted to them. John only needed to focus on frying the dishes. Since his chef level had reached four, he could now cook three dishes simultaneously.
At noon, Lai De Wen arrived at the temporary kitchen again.
“John! John! Are you here?”
“Oh, my lord! What brings you here?” John hurriedly brought over a freshly cooked dish. “Please have a taste.”
Lai De Wen picked up a bite with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. “Not bad! The tendon is really chewy; your skills are improving.”
After savoring it for a moment, Lai De Wen remembered something important. “John, we have distinguished guests coming tonight; we need to prepare accordingly.”
“What should we do?” John asked anxiously.
“We’re heading to the front lines soon. Our lord’s master—the Count of Monte Cristo’s son, Baron Art—is coming tonight with about thirty guests. We can’t just serve ten dishes and two soups.”
“The lord’s master?”
This term was related to the system of the Haocha Kingdom on this continent. The king would grant a piece of land to a nobleman, who then had the right to bestow portions of that land to lesser nobles. Lesser nobles were subordinate to Great Nobles, but the king could not directly command them, creating a situation where my vassal's vassal was not my vassal.
The Count of Monte Cristo was the lord of Viscount White.
“Yes,” Lai De Wen said. “Lord Redman requested twenty dishes and two soups.”
John felt a bit troubled after hearing this. "Sir, I fear we might not have enough ingredients. There have been too many guests lately, and the kitchen is nearly empty."
Lai De Wen thought for a moment before responding. "Don't worry about the ingredients; that's easy to resolve. Just prepare the dishes, and make sure there are no mistakes."
"Rest assured, there won't be any errors," John promised, patting his chest.
At the banquet, Baron Art raised his glass. "I invite you all here today, thanks to Redman White's hospitality, to discuss an important matter. As you all know, in just two days we will be at the front lines. For everyone's benefit, we must unite."
