In the BIG MOM Pirates, chef is undoubtedly the most important profession. Both Charlotte Linlin herself and her children have their own pursuit of food.
On the Cake Island, there is a team of chefs led by Long Bread, whose purpose is to serve Charlotte Lingling and provide her with the desserts she needs 24 hours a day.
And when Charlotte Ringling's bulimia attacks, the antidote is prepared as quickly as possible.
Many of Charlotte Lingling's children also have this hobby, and they usually bring several chefs on board when they travel on ships.
These chefs are all experts in dessert making and are considered excellent even in the ocean.
The chef on Katakuri's ship was no exception, but now, his head chef had cream on his face and a lot of flour on his apron. He seemed to be stimulated and kept laughing wildly.
"What's going on? What happened to him?"
After hanging up the phone, Katakuri walked over with a very dissatisfied look.
"Katakuri-sama, it was the pink-haired guest who had a competition with the head chef, and that's how he became like this."
Several chefs grabbed the abnormal head chef and explained what had happened before.
The distance from Doudou Island to Cake Island is farther than that to the Naval Headquarters. After all, it is to return to the New World, and there are naturally many things to do along the way.
Frankenstein took turns guarding the house, and Leliana, who set out with Oran, seemed very excited. The specifications of Katakuri's wooden sailboat and MADS's research vessel were very different, but it also brought completely different experiences.
Most importantly, she likes the kitchen here.
The chefs of the Big Mom Pirates are not ordinary people on Doudou Island. They work very hard on weekdays. Even if Leliana has a big appetite, they can still meet Leliana's requirements.
The gift that Oran prepared for Charlotte Lingling was a rather special thing. It had been made in the laboratory but had not even been tested yet, so Oran wanted to try it out on the ship and therefore planned to borrow the kitchen.
"Mr. Sidiliel, just tell us what food you want. You don't have to cook it yourself. Are you dissatisfied with our cooking skills?"
The guests on the ship actually wanted to cook for themselves, which was undoubtedly a lack of recognition of their cooking skills, and this was very dangerous for the BIG MOM Pirates.
Food is one of Charlotte Lingling's most important things, so she won't tolerate poor cooking skills.
These chefs are not all pirates, some are just employed by the BIG MOM Pirates.
This kind of thing is very common in the New World. Working for the king or the navy is in exchange for money, and working for pirates is also in exchange for money.
The commissions that the Big Mom Pirates pay to chefs are not low, which many chefs consider to be a lucrative job.
"No, your cooking is excellent and my daughter likes it too. I just need to make some pastries to try something out. After all, it's a gift for your Queen."
This is where the incident started. When Katakuri's head chef heard what Oran said, he seemed very disdainful.
"How dare you, amateurs, think that making a good dessert is easy! The awful taste will only make Mom mad! You'd better give up on that idea!"
This head chef is an official member of the pirate group, so he can call Charlotte Linlin "Mom", but unlike the Whitebeard Pirates who recognize each other as dad, this is just a simple title.
"I'm really not good at cooking, so I have to borrow two chefs to try out my 'new invention'."
"Tsk, another opportunist. I won't let someone like you into the kitchen! Don't even think about it!"
"Chef, calm down, this is a guest!"
Hearing Oran's words, the head chef suddenly became irritable, but was stopped by his assistant. Then another chef explained to Oran:
"Excuse me, sir. Our head chef is... um... a very old-fashioned man. He hates using any technical aspects on food. Look at this kitchen; everything is done manually."
This kitchen has no automatic blender, no juicer, not even a mechanized temperature-controlled oven or gas stove, but a more classic stove.
Even auxiliary tools like a grater are considered heresy by the chef. Whether it is squeezing juice or whipping cream, the chef only uses manual methods and refuses to use other utensils even if his arms become sore from stirring.
But his skills were pretty good, and there was no one better than him on the ship, so they just let him do as he pleased.
Orlan had no intention of continuing. Since the chef was unwilling, he could wait for him to rest, or change to another kitchen after arriving at the Cake Island.
But Leliana's words changed the situation.
"What a fussy old-fashioned uncle! Is he afraid of being defeated by Dad's invention?"
"Scared? How could that be! Come on! I want to compete with you in cooking! I'll prove with facts that your so-called inventions are unnecessary!"
Leliana did not try to provoke Oran, she just thought that Oran's inventions were the best, but these words from the heart successfully broke the chef's defense, making him forget his previous words of not allowing Oran to use his kitchen, and instead wanted to compete with him.
In the end, Orlan borrowed a chef at random and started a special cooking duel with the head chef.
"Sir, just tell me what you want me to do. I will fully cooperate with you, but my cooking skills are really not as good as the chef's."
Only capable people can be willful. If this chef didn't have such skills, he would have been kicked out long ago.
"It's okay, just do it as you normally would. I just want to see the results."
"Kid! Have you come up with a plan? Since you want to make dessert for mom, let's have a dessert competition. We'll compete in color, aroma, taste, and texture. We'll be better than them in these four aspects!"
"Whatever, any project is fine, I don't care."
Orlan took out a bunch of bottles and jars of powders and liquids, as well as some things of different colors, from his box.
The chef looked at what Orlan was holding with disdain and started making the dessert on his own.
Orlan's chef assistant follows a similar process, but Orlan adds a few minor touches.
The fire was lit and the kitchen became busy. The chef's arm whipped the cream, leaving an afterimage. The other chefs watched this strange confrontation from the side.
Although he has a stubborn personality, it is undeniable that this chef is very quick in his movements. While finishing his own dishes, he also has the mind to observe the situation on Oran's side.
[The oven temperature is too high. The baked dessert will lose its original color and fail.]
[The whipping force of the cream was not strong enough. This kind of cream must be whipped continuously thousands of times in a minute to have a thick taste. Failed.]
[Hmph, using the same method as me, I won't lose in terms of taste, but I still failed.]
[He wasn't careful enough in selecting the ingredients. Only freshly ground wheat can give off that unique wheaty aroma, but he actually used ready-made wheat. What a failure!]
The chef under him was labeled as unqualified by the head chef, and he couldn't even see what kind of help Oran provided.
However, as one dessert after another came out of the oven, the chef's three views were gradually impacted.
The dessert is also lotus-shaped. The dessert made by the assistant has distinct colors. Even after being baked at high temperature, it is still very bright. The boundaries of the colors are also clear and there is no contamination.
"Impossible! How did you do that?! That temperature isn't even up to standard!"
"It's a natural colorant extracted and purified from plants. Not to mention basic colors, even if you want colorful black and colorful white, you can make them.
First of all, let me make it clear that I respect your cooking skills, but you are too old-fashioned. Using a modern oven can better control the temperature, which will reduce the difficulty a lot. "
"Food baked with that kind of thing has no soul! It's just one round, don't be so proud! It's not enough to just look good, it also has to have flavor and texture!"
The chef picked up the cutlery and dug into another pudding in disbelief. As soon as the spoon touched the pudding, he realized the problem.
The chewy touch was even more perfect than what he had made.
"It's impossible for him to stir something like this with that kind of strength. What did you add to it?"
"Thickener, his strength and speed are indeed not good, but he can make up for it."
This is a beginning, but not an end. The chef doesn't know that Oran is very good at Hextech.
What he didn't know was that in addition to orthodox Hextech technology, Orlan was also good at some unorthodox Hextech work, namely food additives.
The taste of purely industrially synthesized foods is naturally different, but adding some technological products to normal food in moderation can stimulate its taste and texture.
A drop of malt essence is added to the aged flour, and the aroma it emits actually exceeds that of freshly ground wheat.
Chemical technology is destroying the chef's inherent cognition.
"You are doing something devious! How can you eat something like this?"
The chef didn't want to believe it and tried to refute Oran from another angle, but the next moment, Oran ate the dessert himself.
Of course, some things are bad and harmful to the body, but talking about toxicity without talking about dosage is unreasonable.
A person will die if he drinks a ton of water in one minute, but this does not mean that the water is poisonous.
The average physique of people in this sea is too strong. As long as you maintain some conscience, add some things within a safe range, and choose better ingredients, it will not cause any harm at all, and it will only make the taste better.
Orlan originally planned to promote this "Hextech Job" to the BIG MOM Pirates.
This thing even has strategic significance for the BIG MOM Pirates. It can store more different types of food to deal with Charlotte Linlin's food cravings, and it can also extend the shelf life of buildings made of food on the island.
The chef lost, lost to the technology he despised the most, and Oran was also sure that he did not make a mistake in the chemical formula.
"You're ruining the place!!"
"I just wanted to borrow the kitchen. You proposed this challenge."
"I"
The chef had nothing to say, but he was somewhat unwilling to believe the reality. After all, the young chef had actually caught up with his own years of hard work through this external force.
Many emotions such as resentment, anger, and confusion about the future mixed together, and this is the side that Katakuri saw.
When Katakuri came to the kitchen, Oran explained to Katakuri the usage and problems of these additives. There was no need to hide anything.
The service has been made clear, and it is up to you to decide whether to use the BIG MOM Pirates or not.
"Mr. Sidiliel, you are thoughtful. It seems that you understand us very well."
Katakuri did not try the difference in taste. He would not take off his scarf in front of outsiders. However, in the entire BIG MOM Pirates, what he was most worried about was not the external enemies, but the internal ones.
At this time, Charlotte Lingling was in her prime, and her body was still in good shape. Even when she was pregnant, she could still fight against the monsters on the sea.
There are not many people who can make her feel difficult, except for Golden Lion, Whitebeard, Roger and others.
These people all have their own fixed territories, and unless they decide to officially go to war, they will remain restrained from each other.
The strongest member of the BIG·MOM Pirates is Charlotte Linlin, and the biggest threat to the BIG·MOM Pirates is also Charlotte Linlin. Once the bulimia strikes, Charlotte Linlin will really not recognize anyone and will never stop until she gets the food she wants.
Katakuri hasn't really grown up yet, but Charlotte Linlin is stronger than she was when she was old, so her food cravings are extremely difficult to deal with.
In addition, due to her illness, she is completely random in what she wants to eat, which often makes them unable to cope. Never mind whether this additive can bring better taste or extend the shelf life of food, that is its biggest function.
"Businessmen just understand potential customers. There's nothing much to say."
Katakuri casually exchanged some ideas with Oran, but Leliana sneaked out of the kitchen and finally found the chef who was a little crazy.
"What are you doing here, little brat? Are you here to mock me?"
"No, I mean, the desserts you make are delicious, but you're just too stubborn. There's nothing wrong with accepting new things. Dad said that technology is used to change lives.
Technology is never wrong; it just depends on how you use it."
Then Leliana made a face at him and decided not to say anything more to the stubborn chef.
"Delicious. Stubborn"
It's not like there were no chefs from Cake Island who questioned him in the past, but the problem was that this head chef had real talent and could actually do a better job with his hands than those who used machines, but this time he encountered changes of a higher standard.
[Little devil! Who told you to change my recipe?! This recipe is perfect, and the things you added are garbage!]
The words of his teacher scolding him when he was young echoed in his ears. That was the worst scolding he had ever received because he replaced sugar with honey and changed the traditional recipe.
Failure can make people reflect. Only then did he recall his confusion about his teacher's old-fashionedness.
"Have I become that stubborn person?"
