Volume 4: Chapter 15:

"Alright, let's start with the first dish," Keith quickly revealed the first dish,

"The first one I cooked is a pasta dish. One is a cream pasta with green peppers and rush bull meat. The other one is a tomato sauce with diced earth chicken." This was a staple dish on the island.

"Why are the portions so small?" Cadmus frowned. He could eat the food in one bite.

"That's because I've made a lot of different food. I don't want you to be full on the first one," These guys were taste testers. No way could he have them full from the first dish!

"Hmpf! If I'm not full, then what will you do?"

Keith shook his head, "If you're still hungry, I'll feed you the rest," Then again, you're always hungry. This man's stomach was a black hole.

He had a large batch in the back. He planned to use that as dinner, but since he wanted to eat it, there was no choice.

"Yay!" Cadmus shouted like no tomorrow.

"Maria, you don't need to say anything. This is usual with him," Carolyn shook her head. Cadmus was this type. There was no point in questioning it.

"I see," Maria had a wry look.

The taste test started. When the group ate the food, their expressions were the usual.

"So delicious."

"As expected of Keith."

"Let's keep going," Keith started to bring out a lot of food for them to try. And it was a fast pace. As he did, everyone was eating like no tomorrow!

"Alright, we should take a break," After half an hour, Keith decided to pause.

"Huh?"

"Why are we stopping so soon?!" Cadmus glared at him.

Keith stated, "If you guys eat so much in such a short time, you will gain weight. Move around a bit before we start again." They had been sitting at the seat and eating like no tomorrow.

"Alright,"

"Also, I want to ask you guys what you guys think about it?" It was time to get their opinions as well.

"What did you guys think was the best?" That was an easy question to start off.

"I thought all of them were delicious," Jack scratched his head.

"I don't have a preference either," One by one, everyone gave their own opinion.

Keith frowned when he heard that. A majority couldn't decide on what they like. But Carolyn shook her head, "You're thinking is so skewed."

"Hmm?"

"You need to understand your cooking is that tasty," Keith's cooking was delicious. It wasn't a surprise if everyone thought it was all appetizing.

"Umm, I do have something," Maria raised her hand.

"I was thinking dishes with vegetables would be really nice," As she ate the dishes, she preferred vegetables. They were fresh and crisp.

"Oh, I prefer meat instead," Tristan stated. When he heard that, the couple stared at one another. Keith shook his head.

Did I start a war by mistake?

"Keith, why didn't you use the variant?" If he used the variant, he could draw in many people.

Keith gave him a weird expression, "Of course I won't use it. A majority of the customers wouldn't have enough to pay for it. I want it to be affordable and have great taste." Using the variant would kill the purpose. It was too rare.

"Also, I need it to be easy on the eyes," Keith muttered.

"Why do you need it to be easy on the eyes?" Everyone tilted their heads when they heard that.

"It's so people wouldn't think it's weird." That was something he noticed. He needed the food to be common where people wouldn't think it would be over the top.

"That would be difficult," When they heard what Keith said, everyone was lost in thought.

"What about handheld foods?" Sarah suggested. In her village, some stalls would sell steamed potatoes.

"That could work," Keith thought about it, "Wait a minute! I know of the perfect recipe! Why didn't I think of that?!"

"Hmm?"

"You guys can have these," Keith quickly took out the leftovers that he made, "Have these for now. I'm going to get something,"
