It is about the banquets being held in Village Five.
-0-
Nobles and merchants conduct banquets to sell their faces.
And they do it often.
It is both to show off their financial power and sell their faces using the clothes they wear and the food they serve.
Of course, those are not the only purpose of banquets. They also use it to exchange information and even matchmaking.
The purpose and scale vary.
However, there are no banquets like that in Village Five.
None dared to hold a banquet.
The reason is food.
Food is naturally must be prepared by the one whoās holding the banquet.
It is not exaggerated to say that the food served in a banquet equates to their faces.
For that reason, they can only ask their best and most trusted chefā¦..
So far, thereās no single chef in existence, whether family chef or hired outside, that can cook Village Fiveās dishes.
ā¦ā¦.
In addition, they are embarrassed to consult me about it.
How about training the current chef or hiring someone with good cooking skills?
Even without me saying that, the nobles and merchants have already thought of that.
However, those are not without problems.
First, training the current chef.
In general, cooking techniques and recipes are lifeguarded secrets of chefs.
To learn a new technique to those who know itā¦.you have to start as an apprentice to that personā¦.
Chefs employed by nobles and merchants have certain number of apprentices.
If you have apprentices, you will never become another personās apprentice.
No one would dare accept you.
So thatās a no.
Next, hiring someone with good cooking skills.
But those people are already working for someone else in Village Five.
Thereās no way theyāll throw away their dignity and betray their current employers because their neighbor offered them more money.
So thatās a no.
In addition, those chefs are only good outside but not skilled enough to cook Village Fiveās food.
Itās basically a poor solution from the start.
ā¦ā¦
So, you let me hear those. What do you want me to do?
We canāt force them to sponsor a banquet, right?
Thereās not much communication between the nobles and merchants in Village Five?
Is that so?
I donāt know about the nobles but the merchants have good communication. Arenāt they wearing the same type of clothes when they were greeting me beforeā¦.
Thatās not a good evidence?
Sure, no one stood out and the result is also unappealingā¦.
Originally, they should have a banquet of their own to meet and decide whoāll stand out and other more plans.
However, no one dared to invite anyone to a banquet.
I see.
They indeed need to start hosting banquets.
So, what am I supposed to do?

A special cooking class was held in Village Five.
The venue is the event facility located at the foot of Village Five.
The teachers are three oni maids.
There are also five beast girls and five civil servant girls as assistants.
We gathered the chefs working in Village Five.
ā¦ā¦
The cooking classes that have been held in Village Five so far were aimed at the adventurers and normal residents.
We do it regularly but no chef participated.
Because of that, I thought that the only chefs whoāll participate are those who are related to nobles and merchantsā¦.
Isnāt this place a little too crowded?
There are more than 300 participants.
Is this okay?
I asked the oni maids and they said itās okay.
They are used to having a lot of participants since they have been teaching at cooking classes.
Then, Iāll leave everything to you.
But Iāll call for more backup first.

Since there were too many participants, they were asked to create groups.
One group will be from five to eight people.
There is a difference in the number of participants per group because of racial differences.
43 groups were formed.
Stoves and cooking utensils are provided to each group.
It seems like the number of stoves is not enoughā¦.ah, the high elves are making more in a hurry.
Thanks.
Thank you for your hard work.

Thus, the cooking classes of the oni maids startedā¦.
First thing first, educate them of the concept of hygiene.
Itās not so difficult.
First of all, a chef must be clean.
Wash your body.
Wear clean clothes.
If you have long hair, tie it.
Thoroughly wash your hands.
Next, preparation before cooking.
Put the ingredients in a clean place.
The tableware must always be clean.
Clean the cookware with boiling water.
The kitchen floor must be cleaned daily.
Focus on what you are doing.
Do not cook if you donāt feel well.
Donāt speak when cooking.
If you use a knife for cutting raw meat, donāt use it to cut other ingredients.

Iām listening too and Iām sure I heard those before during the cooking classes of Big Tree Village, Village One, Village Two, Village Three, and Village Four.
But since everyone participating here are chefs, there shouldnāt be any problem.
ā¦ā¦.
Most of them are puzzled.
Maa, before moving on to the next stage, I want you to remember the concept of hygiene.
-0-
Theyāre having trouble remembering the concept of hygiene.
What should I do? I need a convincing theory.
They accepted it as soon as we explained that it is a procedure to get a blessing in cooking to make sure that no one would upset his stomach upon eating it.
That took some time so the special cooking class has to continue the next day.

Special cooking class, 2 <sup>nd</sup> day.
The oni maids teach the basics of baking, simmering, steaming, and frying.
Any problem?
These people are chefs so there shouldnāt be, right?
ā¦ā¦
Cheers are coming from all over the venue.
It looks like everythingās okay.
Maa, the oni maids who are the chefs of Big Tree Village also only knew how to grill and boil when I first met them.
Hnn?
Some participants seemed to already know how but their faces are pale.
Whatās wrong?
Ah, it was the secret technique of your store.
My condolences.

I would prefer if you donāt keep the concepts of hygiene and cooking techniques you learned from this class secret and spread them instead.
Those are only the basics of the basics. It will also make everyone be able to eat good food no matter where they are.
In addition, if the number of chefs increases, there will probably be more new dishes.
Do your best on that aspect.
-0-
The ingredients prepared by the merchants who sponsored the cooking class are cooked into dishes.
As expected of the chefs.
Even if they failed a few times, it seems like they learned how to cook.
After that, they only need to apply what they learned.
Please do your best with cooking the ingredients readily available at Village Five.
By the way, the dishes cooked in this class were consumed by the participants.
You should eat your own dishes.
You should remember the taste whether it is a success or failure.
Good luck.

Special cooking classes will be held regularly together with the regular cooking classes.
I want to spread the concept of hygiene so I agreed.
However, it looks like it is still not enough to raise the skills of the chefs which is the main purpose of this special cooking class.
The special class only managed to resolve the recipe problem.
Hnn?
The top chefs are hired by nobles and merchants so whatās the point of increasing your skill set after being hired by them?
ā¦.right?
Thatās expected.
By the way, do you have a proposal?
Cooking contest?
Ehto, isnāt it too early for that?
That will motivate the chefs?
The participants of the special cooking class also want to show off the result of their training to the oni maids.
Maa, I donāt mindā¦..
Iām the judge?
ā¦ā¦..
I permit it.
However, there should be a qualifier.
When you make it to the end, Iāll gladly judge what you cooked.

Chefs with apprentices donāt participate in regular cooking classes. (a matter of face)
Chef apprentices donāt participate in the regular cooking class. (thereās a possibility of getting fired)
Because of that, small restaurant chefs and even housewives have better cooking skills which made the sales of large restaurants fall.
