Chapter 171 Private Chef Menu
Jiangyou was recalling the recipe for steamed buns in her mind, and her hands were cutting non-stop. She didn't notice at all when her little pet flew behind her and pecked her head lightly.
"Oh my!" Jiang You screamed, covered his head with his hands, looked back, and said in feigned anger: "Little rice cake!"
But Xiao Nian Gao raised his paw towards her, and Jiang You took a look and found that Xiao Nian Gao was holding a blue-purple Morpho butterfly on his bony claw. The butterfly's wings were dotted with stars and had a gauze around the edges, making it look ethereal and not like a product of nature at all.
"Oh my god, where did you catch that butterfly? It's so beautiful! And there's even magical fluctuations. Could it be some kind of magical creature?" Jiang You put down his kitchen knife and stretched out his bony claws towards his pet, muttering, "Luckily it wasn't some other insect, otherwise I'd be in big trouble if you caught it in the kitchen."
However, as soon as her hand touched the butterfly, it turned into a blue-purple letter and landed in her bony claws.
Takumi Yuu: “……?”
She opened the letter and found it was from Yadra, who asked her if she had ordered a specific menu and what ingredients she needed to prepare.
Takumi: "...Oh, yes, the ingredients are prepared by the employer, so this needs to be discussed in advance."
She scratched her head, then walked to the kitchen with the letter in her hand. She called out to Naxia, asking her to go to the small kitchen in the front to make wraps for the guests. She then walked to the small dining room, sat down at the empty table in the private room, and spread out the letter to study it carefully.
Little Lich
Seeing your letter is like meeting you in person.
The banquet is coming up soon. Can you order the menu for the day?
The gathering will be held at the villa, providing guests with a thrilling and immersive reasoning adventure that is both real and fake.
Therefore, the dinner party needs to have thirteen novel dishes that are gorgeous, fresh, exquisite, and a bit weird and suspenseful. If they can be dressed up as hearts, eyeballs, etc., giving the guests some harmless frights, it may make the event more interesting.
What could be a more immersive experience for guests than a 'horrific' dish prepared by a real skeleton chef?
There were perhaps 15-20 guests present, including some noblemen of high rank.
PS: This banquet will adopt a separate dining system. The meals only need to look strange, but the ingredients must be safe, delicious and edible, and must not cause any substantial harm to the guests, including food poisoning.
Waiting for your news~

Jiang You: I see. This is a dinner party for an immersive mystery script-killing event. We need to make dishes similar to Halloween specialties to suit the atmosphere. And she, a skeleton, is doing it... Hey! No wonder the price for this order is so high. It's easy to find a chef, but it's hard to find a skeleton who can cook!
"...The nobles of this era are really creative, even resorting to script-based killing."
Jiang You muttered to himself, pulling out some white paper and a quill. He rested his jaw on his shoulder as he pondered the menu, muttering quietly, "Honestly, this pirate sister really picked the right person. I bet there aren't many chefs in this world who can understand her."
She was different. Modern people have seen and experienced everything. During Halloween, any thoughtful business or amusement park would launch special dishes like this. Jiangyou had not only tried them, but also followed the trend and made them several times.
"Witch finger cookies, chocolate spider cookies, bloody tea jelly, spicy plasma devil eggs... These are easy to make and look good! Lychees and black olives can create the effect of eyeballs, and with smoked sausage slices, you can roll up a scary yet charming eyeball rose bouquet. Well, this can be made into a salad with some lettuce..." Jiang You quickly wrote down the dishes and the corresponding ingredients on the paper, "Since the guests are all nobles, let's have a French butter chicken puff pastry. You can carve the puff pastry into the shape of a skull~!
"I wonder if there are any legends about monsters like mummies in this world... Making a golden shrimp roll and a golden sausage, and then making little eyes out of seaweed, would be pretty fun."
In a short while, she wrote down seven dishes: "We've almost finished the Western dishes, and now it's time for the Chinese dishes... I'd love a dish of sweet and sour lychee meat, and a marinated platter of various offal and claws is a must. I wonder if the pirate sister can get some seafood, but stir-fried octopus tentacles with celery would probably be enough to satisfy medieval tastes... Hey, how about a dish of frogs? Maybe the pirate sister has a way to get some bullfrogs?"
However, a skinned bullfrog would probably have been quite shocking to the medieval nobility...wasn't it a bit too shocking? It would be bad if it scared people to death.
Many frogs are poisonous species. In this era, there is no serious bullfrog farming. Jiang You couldn't help but worry about the safety of the ingredients, so he crossed this dish off the paper.
"The remaining three dishes... let's make a delicious soup. As long as we can gather the ingredients, a five-fingered palm, lotus root, and pork trotter soup would be excellent. It strengthens the spleen and appetite, eliminates dampness and relaxes the muscles, and is also beautifying! Those ladies will definitely love it!"
"Let's have two more dishes that the nobles like. I heard that steak and lamprey are essential for a banquet like this... Well, with a little ingenuity, these two can also create a very good thriller effect. Let's arrange them too."
Takumi carefully listed all the ingredients, materials, and kitchenware she'd need... Of course, before sending the final menu and ingredient list, she'd also have to ask Aunt Wolf and Andre for their approval. After all, creating a thrilling atmosphere would only affect her employer's satisfaction, but if she violated the nobles' taboos, it would affect Takumi's own head.
Even if her skull could be easily unscrewed and put back on, she didn't want anyone else to unscrew her head.
You still have to be careful when dealing with the upper class of this feudal society.
As for the Chinese herbal medicine she needed, she planned to contact Holly directly, and it would be best if she could take the time to make a special trip there herself.
There is no complete Chinese medicine system in this magical Middle Ages. Even the plants that grow there are very different from those in her previous life. They may even have some strange magical properties. She must go through botanists to confirm whether the Chinese herbs she recognizes are edible, toxic, and have medicinal effects.
Otherwise, the mystery script-killing dinner party would instantly turn into a poisoning scene, and she couldn't bear the blame.
He got down to work right away. Jiang You first took out the paired contact book with Andre and briefly explained the whole story. He then sent the menu over, with a sample picture for each dish. This was the benefit of the [Editing Spell]. As long as you imagined the picture in your mind, the ink would directly generate an image. Although it could only be a black and white picture, it was completely sufficient.
