Dorothy got up early as always according to the inertia she had developed. After finishing washing, she went to the royal dining room of the Dragon King's Palace.
Well, after all, she had been rewarded by the Dragon King before, and had control over the precious ingredients in the treasure house, so naturally she couldn't just take the benefits and not work.
Let's not talk about it for now, at least during the few days she lived in the Dragon King's Palace, the otaku witch felt that she should show off to some extent.
So she planned to come to the imperial dining room first to check on the situation.
However, when she arrived at the imperial dining room, she found that the imperial chefs here had started busy early. Smoke was rising from the kitchen, and the aroma could be smelled from a distance.
Obviously, the royal chefs have already started preparing breakfast for the palace.
You should know that it was only around six o'clock in the morning. Dorothy thought that she had woken up early, but looking at the battle in the royal kitchen, she estimated that the royal chefs might have started working at two or three in the morning.
Compared with them, this otaku witch seems to be very lazy.
"Tsk, they all say that working in the palace is well paid and has a high status, but it seems like it's not easy now."
Seeing the busy appearance of the royal kitchen, Dorothy sighed in her heart.
This imperial dining room is very large. At first glance, there are about hundreds of formal imperial chefs working on the stove. If we include the assistant cooks or some maids who do miscellaneous tasks, then this
The imperial dining room can accommodate almost a thousand people.
And judging from the magical aura of these witches, there are no mediocre people here. Even the weakest maids serving vegetables are elite witches, and the vegetable chopping assistants are even more powerful witches per capita. As for the official royal chef who can control the stove
Not to mention, each one's aura is stronger than the last, and the leading witches who look like chefs are even more powerful.
I can only say that it deserves to be called the Dragon King's Palace. This palace is truly a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. The big witch is worse than a dog. There are spikes all over the place. Just the configuration of the royal dining room can form a quite powerful army when placed outside.
The battle group is here.
However, considering that the Dragon King likes good food, and the royal dining room of the Dragon King Palace was the palace that represented the highest level of gourmet food in the witch world before the Witch of the Forest debuted, this configuration is not an exaggeration.
After all, taking the civil service exam these days is a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, let alone such a beautiful thing as entering the palace.
You must know that entering the palace means having the opportunity to meet the three kings. This is an honor that no witch can refuse, and it is also the most likely opportunity to reach the sky in one step.
Therefore, whether it is the Palace of the Gods, the Palace of the Dragon, or the Palace of the Demon, any position that has the opportunity to enter the palace will be snatched up. That opportunity is not something that ordinary witches can get their hands on.
These days, if you want to enter the palace, you need status and family background. Even if you just become the most ordinary maid in the palace, it is an opportunity for many noble girls from small and medium-sized witch families in the outside world to compete for the top spot.
And important positions such as the imperial guards in the palace are almost controlled by those loyal families with a long history. Generally, witches born in ordinary families are not allowed to take the turn, unless the commoner witch is really talented.
Although the status of the royal kitchen in the Dragon King's Palace is far inferior to that of the Imperial Guards, it is still a unique position in the Dragon King's Palace and has a certain reputation. It is also the most likely occupation to contact the Dragon King and receive rewards from his crown, so keep an eye on this place.
There are naturally a lot of witches.
Even though the imperial kitchen has thousands of people, it seems a lot, but the witch world has a total population of 50 billion. Even if you remove the bosses and young people, the number of remaining job seekers of suitable age is still terrifying.
.
Not to mention that the Imperial Dining Room does not recruit people every year. The positions here are basically a carrot and a pit. It is often the old people who abdicate so that newcomers can get the chance. Even the competitive pressure involved can be imagined.
Therefore, the witches who finally succeeded in winning the official position of the imperial kitchen in the hands of many competitors are naturally the kings of kings. Whether it is appearance, talent, or family background, they are far ahead by 100%.
The ninety-nine witches are like dragons and phoenixes among people.
Well, although it sounds a bit outrageous that you want to apply for a chef based on your appearance, but there is no way. There are really too many opponents. You said that if both parties have the same professional level, others will choose in the end.
Good-looking or bad-looking?
The workplace is such a cruel place.
Dorothy did not go in directly to disturb everyone, but stood at the door and watched for a while.
I have to say that every one of the chefs here is very professional and serious. None of them are lazy. Each one of them is concentrating on the food they are making and does not dare to relax at all. Every step they take
They were all extremely cautious, fearing that there would be any mistakes. After all, these dishes would appear on the Dragon King's table later and be tasted by the supreme crown prince.
Even though the Dragon King is not the kind of tyrant who would kill people for a meal, on the contrary, he is very kind and will never be too harsh on everyone in the palace, but once there is a problem with a certain dish, Your Majesty will be magnanimous.
But it doesn't mean that other people in the palace will not care about you.
The palace is certainly a good place that everyone wants to enter, but it is also a Shura place where everyone is in danger.
There are countless people watching the area under your butt, and any mistake may directly cause you to be pulled down by the newcomers.
Therefore, the imperial chefs are really serious, and the atmosphere in the entire imperial dining room is also very tense, which can even be called chilling.
But this also made the otaku witch couldn't help but shake her head.
"Hey, I just said that the food I have eaten in the past two days always smells like class."
She thought so helplessly in her heart.
She was not criticizing anything, and Dorothy did not feel that she was qualified to criticize these royal chefs. After all, she could see that everyone had worked hard and really tried their best to pursue the art of gourmet food.
No one has the right to say that such hard-working people are bad.
Don't encourage others to do good unless they have suffered.
Dorothy is lucky and does not need to experience the involution and cruelty of this workplace. Her talents and talents make these troubles destined to be far away from her. She also knows very well that not everyone has their own talents and is like herself.
Such good luck.
Therefore, at this time, if she said condescendingly that your cooking skills are really bad, then it would be absurd to say "why not eat minced meat".
That would be really too arrogant.
However, Dorothy was also not the kind of person who would just avoid talking about her mistakes just because she was worried about it.
Therefore, she was thinking about how to tactfully remind these royal chefs that their efforts were in the wrong direction.
From the otaku witch's point of view, the people in the imperial kitchen are really going astray. Just like those samurai witches in Japan, they always pursue the swordsmanship itself too much and ignore the more important sword heart.
Swordsmanship has the heart of the sword, and cooking naturally also has the heart of the cook.
A chef's mood when cooking will directly affect the taste of the food she makes.
Therefore, many of the royal chefs in the imperial kitchen have almost perfect cooking skills. Many of them use the witch's kitchen series of magic spells, and all of them are very proficient. Especially the chefs, almost all of them are "
With a proficiency level of "Sainthood", the spellcasting was so perfect that even Dorothy, the witch of the forest, could not find any major faults.
But the real magic is the heart that believes.
But how can these royal chefs, who are now more cautious and serious than the others, cook the kind of cuisine that makes people feel relaxed and happy after eating it?
That's why Dorothy said that the food in the royal kitchen always smelled like class when she ate it these days.
It's just that this kind of problem is not easy to solve. After all, it can't be solved by her running out and shouting to everyone, "Everyone, relax and think of something happy."
The otaku witch thought about it for a moment. If she were in the same situation as the royal chefs, who might be replaced by covetous colleagues if they made a single mistake, then she wouldn't be a little optimistic.
Alas, it’s difficult to do.
And just when Dorothy was worrying about how to solve this matter, someone came to her side.
"Miss, there is something about our cooking that dissatisfies you. I just saw you shaking your head."
A rather soft voice asked.
This also made Dorothy wake up from thinking.
Because she doesn't want to attract too much attention and disturb the work of the imperial kitchen, she is currently in disguise.
Now that she has learned the Tianmo Wu, her disguise has become very simple. She no longer needs to use makeup or glasses to cover it up like in the past. She only needs a little guidance from the Tianmo Wu, and then she will appear to others.
The image in your eyes will change drastically.
The face of God has the characteristics of the appearance of all living beings. Anyone can see the appearance of the lover in her heart in the face of God. By using the power of Tianmo Wu to control the appearance of all living beings, she can easily let others combine her with her.
Distinguish the "famous" eldest lady.
Although Dorothy had no makeup on her face at this time and still had her original appearance, in the eyes of others, she was just a relatively beautiful witch and would not be associated with the eldest lady.
Therefore, the witch who asked suddenly did not recognize her identity. Otherwise, given the young lady's recent status in the Dragon King's Palace, the entire imperial kitchen would have to stop what they were doing and come over to pay her respects.
After all, she is an honored guest appointed by the Dragon King.
Dorothy also turned to look at the witch who asked the question.
Well, there is no doubt that she is a beauty. Although she is a little petite, it does not reach her waist. Her height is a little shorter than Alice who is 1.2 meters tall, about 1.1 meters.
However, this is a strong person, and Dorothy can't be sure of the opponent's strength, but he is guaranteed to be at the top.
"Are you the chef?"
The house witch asked.
Although she didn't know that the girl in front of her looked like a child, but her temperament was inexplicably mature, and she was as beautiful as a big sister. However, the entire imperial dining room was very busy now, but this person should be
The witch lady who uses halflings as her evolutionary template is still able to talk to herself. If she is so free, her status must be extraordinary.
In all likelihood, he is the person in charge of the royal kitchen, also known as the chief chef.
Moreover, halflings, this extraordinary race similar to dwarves and gnomes, are not very powerful, but they are famous for their ingenuity. They are indeed good at cooking and have a gourmet culture.
Very few witches will use halflings as their evolutionary template. After all, this really doesn't bring much combat power bonus, and sometimes it even has the opposite effect, weakening the witch's strength. But if you pursue skills such as cooking,
If the goal is not combat power, then the halfling template is one of the best templates.
In response to Dorothy's rhetorical question, the halfling witch nodded readily and admitted her identity.
"Well, I'm the head chef, you can call me Galahad."
She smiled, extended her hand to the otaku witch, and introduced herself.
The otaku witch also squatted down politely, trying to be as eye-level as possible with the other person, and then shook hands with her.
"Dorothy"
She said her name.
Well, there was no need to hide it at this time. After all, the name Galahad was not unfamiliar to her. He was one of the first generation Knights of the Round Table.
She really didn't expect that such a big boss would work in the imperial kitchen.
"Haha, who doesn't love food? I not only like to taste food, but I am also interested in making food."
As if aware of the witch's doubts, the halfling "little" sister explained with a smile.
Dorothy immediately felt that Lord Galahad was an easy person to get along with. Her character was very pure. She was obviously a very ancient witch, but she was as pure as a child.
"But it turns out you're here, Miss. Your disguise is really good. I didn't recognize you directly. So I can understand why you shook your head. I had eaten Astros belt at the banquet before.
The squid balls here are the most delicious food I have ever eaten in my life. In terms of cooking skills, we really can't impress you."
Galahad said with some frustration.
Dorothy, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed by the other party's frankness.
"No, no, everyone's cooking skills are pretty good, it's just..."
Facing the gaze of this young lady who had a body shape similar to that of a child and eyes as pure as a baby's, the otaku witch didn't know how to explain it for a while.
"It doesn't matter, but it doesn't matter. Miss, you are a pioneer in cooking. We are actually happy to accept your teachings."
Galahad saw the witch's struggle, and she quickly and sincerely encouraged her.
Dorothy observed again and again and confirmed that the big boss in front of her was not the kind of person who would fall out if she disagreed with him. Then she said with confidence.
"But do you really like cooking? I mean, do you really enjoy cooking and think cooking is a relaxing and enjoyable thing?"
And heard her question.
The Pure Knight's eyes also lit up, and she looked at Dorothy as if she were seeing a close friend.
