Chapter 309: How to roast a sheep

Esong got his kiss and left the bathroom a happy man with Scarlet as he explained to her the details of the meetings he had attended on her behalf so far.

He followed her into the kitchen where an entire sheep had been delivered, fresh from the farm.

Esong’s eyes lit up with joy and he said, "Meat!!"

He went closer and looked at the fresh mutton with gleeful eyes and he licked his lips as he imagined what kind of amazing meal his wife was going to cook up.

Scarlet laughed and patted him on the arm. "Not for you dear, it’s for Severus."

"Ha-ha, very funny." he replied.

"I mean it Esong, this is the reward I promised Severus for spending an entire week in the forest hunting and hoarding edible animals for us. Did you see the haul that he helped me bring in? He discovered over ten animals species on his own. I can’t pay him money as a salary so this has to do. Now tell me, do you know how to roast a sheep?"

Of course, he didn’t, but neither did she. Her plan was to wing it in the kitchen, fake it till you make it style.

Reluctantly, Esong looked away from the meat and sulked, in a manner very similar to Justin’s when she forced him to eat something he abhorred or refused to pick him up sometimes.

"Don’t pout, I am still going to feed you meat." she assured him. "I am going to make burgers, beef burgers which you will love, I am sure."

Even as she explained, she turned on two ovens and brought out the ground beef from her space and three packets of buns. She got eggs, oil, onions, mayonnaise, ketchup, lettuce, tomatoes and spices.

"How can I help?" Esong asked.

He had been watching as she collected the ingredients and to his eyes, they looked plenty. She would be cooking for hours to get all this done.

"Uhm, help me toast the burger buns." She said and proceeded to show him how to do it.

They worked together perfectly and he even helped her in preparing the patties. Esong was a very quick learner, and whatever she taught him, he caught on quickly. Soon, he was making an entire burger on his own.

"Next time, I will do this on my own, tell me when you crave them." he said.

She tilted her head, looked at him and stuck her tongue out playfully.

"I am serious." he said, "Come to me, when you crave a burger at any time of the day."

"In that case, you take tomorrow’s broadcast and become the chef of the day." she suggested.

He folded his arms and thought about things slowly, he was not camera shy and he did not mind showing off.

"Cool."

"Woaaaaaah!" she said, slowly, exaggeratedly. "Now I see where Justin gets it."

"Taste my craft." he placed a finished burger at her mouth and nodded eagerly. "Wait, how do they eat it? Should I get a fork and knife?"

"You can, but hands are better because you need to get a bite of everything." she explained.

She opened her mouth wide and took a bite out of it. As she chewed, she nodded and gave him a thumbs up. She had used crystal water in the mixture, of course it was amazing.

He took his own bite and she enjoyed watching his eyes widen and then he devoured the entire bun in two bites.

"So, new deal, you work on the burgers while I work on the mutton, that is what the meat of a sheep is called." she suggested.

Esong flexed his biceps and said, "And the pupil becomes the master."

She laughed softly and got a few recipe books from her bracelet storage and started searching for roasted lamb recipes. She found one, in a book about Mediterranean recipes.

"Garlic, salt, seven spice, cardamom, cumin, black pepper." All that she read from the book, she had.

She started dealing with the lamb according to the instructions in the book. She turned up the music channel on the television in the kitchen, then both she and Esong concentrated on their individual tasks.

When all of the lamb had gone into different ovens, Esong had moved from making burgers to making sandwiches as he used the normal bread slices from the pantry as well.

The man had cooked a small mountain of burgers.

Before she could rebuke him, in trotted Severus with a rabbit, one he had freshly killed.

"This one too, I found it in the forest and it tried to scurry away but nothing gets past my sharp teeth." he announced.

When he smelled the air and saw the mountain of the burgers, the dead rabbit fell out of his mouth and he drooled over those ones instead.

Scarlet sighed, and sent the dead rabbit into her storage space. With the ability to keep things in stasis, it would stay as fresh as it was.

It would take at least four hours for the lamb to be ready, so, she got his very large plate and piled a heap of hamburgers for him.

"Coral, please call my family for lunch." she ordered the youngest maid who was standing by and assisting in little things like clean up.

"I am going to take a quick bath before everyone arrives." she told Esong.

"Alright.." he waved as she left.

Then, he turned to the fruits and said, "I can make fresh juice."

One of the guards standing in the corner said, "General, the robot butlers usually make the fresh juice."

When she came out of the bathroom, half of the family members had arrived and Esong was telling them about he had cooked the lunch and squeezed the juice. She absolutely did not believe that he had squeezed the juice.

"Hello family," she strolled in with a big smile.

"Ooh, if it isn’t the mighty trainer."

"So you are alive."

"You look fine, someone said you were sick."

"Sis, did Esong really cook these hamburgers?"

"Why are they called hamburgers."

The replies she received were many and varied, with no one giving her a second to reply.

"The empress is here." Gertrude announced.

Everyone stood up and the empress, who was dressed in a grey bejeweled gown appearing as if she was attending a party. She was followed by the Wu family strolled in with a clam smile.

’Why, why, why?" Scarlet asked herself, in her mind. "Esong’s father and siblings were invited but she was hoping that Emory would not come.

"I am so grateful for the invitation, please, everyone, sit." the empress said.

Fey and their youngest two siblings came in running, "Are we late?" Fey asked, as she paused to bend and catch her breath.

"No one is late." their mother said.

"Great, when sister says come for a meal at her place, you drop everything and run." Fey replied.

She saw the empress and bowed before finding a seat.

"I didn’t cook these, Esong did." Scarlet told them.

"So you have turned my son into a common maid that lacks mental strength. How amazing you are." Emory’s cold voice stopped everyone short and erased the smiles on their faces. The disdain on her face, made them even more uncomfortable.

The maids who were waiting to serve felt incredibly uncomfortable.
