Gourmet Emperor: Master Of Culinary World 93 My Working Place

The cooks back with the things I order them to bring after a while. After put the thing down, they excuse themselves to do the other task that I give to them before.

"Young master, this is small stove and ashes that you order to bring. Is there anything else you want to bring here?"

"No, this is just enough. Thanks for your hard works, what's your name?"

"Our pleasure, young master. My name is Jerome and my friend here is Cardigan"

"Jerome and Cardigan…alright, you can go now. Tomorrow after you grind that seaweed into powder, I will teach you how to cook that seaweed into edible dish"

"Thank you, young master. We take our leave now"

"Hmm…be careful on your way down"

"Yes, young master"

After the two cooks left me alone in the watchtower, I look around the watchtower. Although not big, this watchtower is s.p.a.cious enough. It has a square shape with four windows on each side and its location is in the center of the castle. It really can observe the surrounding land around the castle perfectly. I can see the guards stand on their post in the front gate, maids that picking up the dry laundries in the back yard, the soldier that training the training field and other activities around the castle.

Some simple furniture also equipped in this watchtower. There are a small bed, table, chair, oil lamp, boxes, and some shelves in this watchtower. A big trumpet also kept in one of the shelves, maybe it used to give the alarm when the enemy is attacking.

More important is, since its position is hard to reach, I can do my secret activities like manage my portable warehouse or using my phone freely here. I remember there are portable stove and knife set in my backpack so I can cook in here if I feel hungry. I can also take a rest with ease here since there's a bed in here without any disturb from Clara or Claire because I'm the only one who had the key of this watchtower. This working place of me is perfect!

Now what I should do is some cleaning and arranges the furniture here according to my need. Also, I need to bring some clean and fresh water here. But right now I must see Charles to get him to make something for me first, so I get down from the watchtower and return to my room.

There's no one in my room when I enter, maybe my personal maids are working their duty as usual. I sit on my desk, open the drawer and take one piece of paper from it. Then I take the quill and start drawing something in that paper. It's a thing that will help much during the banquet and other events that require food transported in large quant.i.ty. After the drawing finished, I take another piece of paper from the drawer and start making another drawing. It's something that I want to make in the future and I want Charles and Joe to make it for me, but not for now because I must focus on this welcoming party preparation first.

"Finally! I hope this thing can works"

I take a deep breath after finis.h.i.+ng my second drawing.

I kept the second drawing in the drawer and fold the first drawing paper carefully before I left my room and go to Charles'place to discuss the thing that I want him to build for me.

I see Charles, Joe and some people from the salt camp still in the front yard, sit and chatting leisurely between them. I wonder why they not go and return to their own homes yet. Oh, maybe they wait for my uncle that still has matter with my father in my father's study room. Well, that's fortunate, I don't have to walk and search for them everywhere.

"Charles, you're still here. That's good, I have a favor to ask from you"

"Young master, what I can do to help you?"

"Well, you know there will be a welcoming party to honor Earl Stamfort arrival, right?"

"Yes, I know that, young master"

"I need you to make something for me"

If Charles can make for me the things I want him to build, the problem that I had in preparing welcoming party at least will be reduced a lot.
