Taka was thrilled to obtain the nice and cozy welcome. Although the younger shopkeeper appeared shady, the chef was nice. So, it was time for him to attempt the meals of the spice backyard.

Spice Backyard, the identify symbolises Alex’s future ambition. He not solely wished to promote meals, but additionally the spices he would make from the farm. This was only a trick he was utilizing to popularise his model.

If the meals within the spice backyard was good, the spice they’d promote can be good too.

This was the concept that Alex was making an attempt to implant within the buyer’s thoughts.

“Get me the perfect dish you’ve gotten.”

“Okay, sir. We’re promoting grilled and deep-fried rooster marinated in our particular spice combine. A serving of deep-fried rooster shall be two items, half a rooster. And a serving of grilled rooster would have 4 items, a full rooster. Each mixed would price 3 silver cash. This week we’re having a gap week promotion, so the worth is half of the traditional. Ought to I affirm your order?”

After notifying the worth and particulars in regards to the dishes, Alex waited for Taka’s reply.

‘Folks within the cities had been usually richer. They would not thoughts paying 3 silver cash for a rooster, would they?’ Alex thought whereas ready for Taka’s response.

Whereas Alex was having an inside monologue, Taka was considering his personal factor. He was a service provider himself and had a basic understanding of the worth of various commodities available in the market. But, he was amazed by the worth set by Alex.

The worth was too low, even when it was a gap week promotion, the worth was too low.

‘Simply the uncooked chickens would price 1.5 silver cash. And the spices would price greater than the rooster. But the shopkeeper is promoting it cheaply. How can it make sense from a enterprise perspective? He was promoting the product whereas making a loss. This was preposterous.’

‘Except he was utilizing low-cost subpar substances.’ Taka thought.

‘Can a meals that smells this good be made out of subpar substances?’

“Okay, deliver the dishes.”

Alex smiled upon listening to it. He rapidly went to the kitchen and served the rooster neatly on a wood tray. He positioned a small cup of mayonnaise close to it. And slightly little bit of neatly lower cucumber and carrots had been used as a garnish. And to finalise the plating, he put a folded flatbread subsequent to it.

The plating was full.

———–

Whereas that was taking place? A gaggle of individuals had been strolling by way of the open market. They wore delicate white and blue garments.

The servants surrounded the 2 princesses of their tribe, defending them from any unexpected circumstances. And the duo on the centre had been the princesses of the ice phoenix tribe.

“Sister Laya, are we going to the ice pavilion?”

“No, we’re looking for a service provider referred to as Taka.”

“However you stated we’d go there at this time.” Meena, the youthful sister complained.

She hoped to eat one thing scrumptious at this time, and but once more, her want for scrumptious meals was trampled.

And whereas strolling by way of the retailers, the duo lastly noticed Taka.

He was sitting in entrance of a stall with teary eyes. His head was raised excessive to drive the tears again. He did not wish to embarrass himself.

And subsequent to him, they might see a well-known determine.

“The hidden grasp!” The brat, Meena exclaimed. She was thrilled to come across him once more.

“Sister, let’s go there.” After saying that, she dashed in the direction of the stall with shining eyes.

Laya adopted swimsuit.

———

“I’m ashamed of myself. Please do not thoughts my tears, they’re tears of happiness.” Taka stated wiping away the teardrops.

‘The meals is simply too tasty. Even with all of the spice, I wish to tear into it and eat all the pieces.’ Munching on a chunk of rooster, he stated.

‘Giving them some greens and flatbread was a pleasant alternative. I believed folks right here favored spicy meals. I ought to lower the spiciness on the subsequent batch.’ Alex determined after seeing the teary-eyed Taka.

“Can I get another serving?”

“In fact, you possibly can. How about two extra servings?”

“That will be nice.” Taka fortunately agreed.

Different individuals who seen the primary buyer having a blissful expertise wished to eat on the stall. However earlier than they might, a bunch of individuals sporting blue and white garments occupied all of the seats.

After that, nobody dared to strategy the meals stall.

Alex who returned with two extra servings was greeted by this. And amongst them, he noticed the bubbly little child waving at him.

‘Ah! Rattling it.’ With a pressured smile, he thought.

“Sir, hidden grasp.” The child respectfully referred to as him, when Alex went in the direction of them with the meals.

“Are you aware the princesses? Mr Shopkeeper.” Taka curiously requested.

‘No marvel the meals tastes scrumptious. They’ve connections with rulers of the area. Among the many 9 nice tribes, the ice phoenix tribe performs an important function that can’t be changed. And as a consequence of that, the relationships they’ve are huge. To suppose that this unassuming stall had connections with them. I’ve much more to study. And to suppose that this younger man is a hidden grasp. Thank god that I did not offend him.’ Taka thought whereas admonishing himself.

Not realising the gravity of the misunderstanding the pipsqueak has prompted. Alex plated the dishes calmly.

“Sir, attempt it.”

The odor was tantalizing. And curious glances got here from the group of ice phoenix tribe.

Earlier than anybody may suppose, A tray disappeared and appeared earlier than Meena. Something scrumptious must be eaten. The easy-minded lady grabbed and ate the meals.

The servants panicked seeing this. That they had but to style it. What if it was poisoned?

Nervously, they gazed at Laya. Hoping to reign in the issue youngster. However all her consideration was directed in the direction of Taka.

Seeing Taka eat the meals and not using a drawback, she was not significantly fearful about her sister being poisoned. Taka was a powerful warrior from the void fish tribe, one of many 9 nice tribes. He’s additionally one of many leaders of the best service provider unions on the entire central continent.

If he’s consuming the meals with out fear, it was worthy sufficient for them to eat.

“Sir, Taka. We’re right here to ask…”

“Let’s speak after consuming the meals. I do know why you’re right here.” Earlier than Laya may full her phrases, Taka stated.

“Sure, sister! Do this! That is so tasty. Even in our house, we won’t get one thing so tasty.” Rubbing off a moustache made out of mayonnaise, Meena stated. Her cute face blushed pink whereas her eyes swiftly scanned the environment for extra meals.

Taka, who noticed this was glad to see a fellow foodie.

Whereas Laya was monotonous and boring. Her sister Meena was bubbly and quirky. That they had contrasting personalities, but they’d one factor comparable. Their eyes had been devoid of guile.

“Haah!” With an extended sigh, Laya lastly checked out Alex. It was not day by day that you just see a wierd particular person like him.

He was younger, youthful than herself. But he had the bearing of an grownup.

Though fifteen years of age was thought-about grownup on this world. Not everybody had the bearing of an grownup once they reached fifteen. However this odd child was by some means completely different.

When contemplating the truth that Meena acknowledged this particular person as a hidden grasp. It made her much more curious. In any case, Meena was a particular child.

Resulting from her excessive affinity with the ice phoenix, A spirit guardian that dances between life and loss of life, delivery and rebirth. She may vaguely really feel the life and loss of life of an individual. And Alex was somebody who was deemed particular by an individual like that.

You may think about the doubts Laya had. The child was not robust, mysterious or particular. He was only a frequent pedlar. How can he be particular?

“Sister, eat this!” Rolling a chunk of meat inside a flatbread and dipping it in mayonnaise. Meena pressured it into her sister’s mouth.

The unprepared Laya was not capable of cease it. And juicy meat and scrumptious savoury mayonnaise exploded in her mouth. The meals was infinitely higher than any meals she had ever eaten.

‘Possibly, he’s particular.’ Laya thought.
