Chapter 132 - 132. Ive Got Them All... 87 Towns Info (1/2)
Patricia and the rest of the members came sauntering in and saw the interns were preparing the lunch and by the look of the menu in front of them, it was like welcoming royal troops entering the Castle.
Prius and Rebecca had just returned from making their rounds at the production plants, the Keating's Day Care Centre, Strongbow Tavern as well as the Beauty World store.
They reminded me that the group of merchants and delivery guys would be holding a conference to meet me during lunch and I nodded in acknowledgement.
When Patricia entered the grounds and saw the interns were arranging the cuisine and were using the bowl to scoop the rice in the plate she can't help herself exclaiming, ”Oh. My. God... The display is very enticing. Oh. My. God... The rice is of very nice colour and the smell is really very inviting. The chicken and the appearance makes me want to sit down and have the meal straight away...!!!”
Adam and Ingles saw the dishes that were placed in the middle and the way it was arranged make it look like an art. There were greens, red, white, yellow with dripping sauce and the chicken wonderfully roasted and was dripping with unknown juices that somehow makes them salivate.
Jane and Kayla saw how the chicken was made to split into two but was kept intact can't help exclaiming, ”Daddy... This chicken is sooooooo huge...!!! 4 person to a plate of whole chicken? The words on the menu are already very nice sounding and when the food is served, I could chomp on it all day long...”
The rest of the members were also delightfully surprised and all went to scrub their hands and wash their faces before they sit down at the table. The interns and cooks had 3 whole chicken to themselves, properly arranged and displayed just like the rest.
They were delighted to know that I made them sit and eat with us and were treated equally. The other housekeepers, lifeguard and server were also told to dine together.
I said grace and it had been years since I was trained to do so but I seldom perform it. I don't know why I said Grace over our lunch today as I began, ”Thank you, Lord, for the food that had been presented before us. In the name of God, the Merciful and Compassionate. Let us all eat... Nom... Nom... Nom...”
Kayla laughed at me and said I was kind of silly to add the Nom ... Nom... Nom... After saying grace because its the first time she heard in that manner. Soon the chicken was halved and quartered and the members and all started to dig in.
Kayla's eyes lit up when she took a spoonful of rice and remarked, ”Daddy... This rice is super aromatic. It could be eaten just with the lemon tangy sauce, the salad, tomatoes, eggs and cucumber even without the chicken. No wonder you are a PAWWR... Because you are a PAWWR CHEF...”
Rebecca added after she had torn off the chicken thigh with her hands, ”My goodness, the flesh simply fell off the bones... It is so tender and crispy on the outside. This is the best roasted chicken I've tasted before...”
”Well... I just tell the interns what to do and they followed my instructions. It's their handiwork and praises should be directed to them as a form of encouragement. Am I right, interns?”
The interns simply smiled and blushed because they had never imagined that they would learn how to cook from a man before.
Lunch was done when the merchants and delivery guys came over and lunch was served for them as well. Our long tables and benches were able to accommodate the 60 guests and they were complimenting on the cuisine.
Later they had learnt that I was the one who guided the interns how to cook and also its a part of our pilot project to create better chefs and create better menus. Also, the chefs would be highly paid and would be of high reputation since they will be certified by me.
I told the 60 guests to eat first and talk later about what they would be discussing with me next. I knew the main topic is safety for their lives and the next topic would be property and I guess right. Maybe it was the Insight that I had automatically used, however at least there's something I could have a heads up, to begin with.
”Good day everyone. Would you like to bring up the matter that was reflected in the letter sent earlier to me?” I began as everyone had finished their meals and were starting to pick their teeth with a wooden toothpick.
”Good day, sir... It had been a while since we had last met and I was the one who sent you the letter.” said a young man with his wife beside him.
