The new apprentice

Unbeatable Chef Xenon

Chapter 34

Natalia left him after dropping her warning and left him confused as ever. It was true that the President had been visiting this Restaurant to make an order or to eat but the only person to ever serve him was Enzo himself. He prepared the man's dish in their presence and made sure to be very careful.

Preparing his meal takes up to two to three hours due to the strenuous process of taking out every bone in the fish. He ate one of the most rare meals ever and he wondered how on earth he was going to start.

"Please can you tell me where to get your ingredients for the President's meal?" He asked Lucas and Madam Rosetti helplessly and the joy in their hearts of seeing him helpless was so great.

"Don't ask silly questions and keep puffing off your shoulders as before, let's leave Rossetti." He told the woman who was already eager to leave the kitchen for him and he turned to the others too.

"Leave here immediately, the latest Chef in town is about to perform some magic," Lucas said, mocking Xenon and he sighed.

He was going to use his powers and immediately the kitchen became empty, he closed his eyes and wished his mind to take him to where to get the required Ingredients used for preparing the president's meal.

He felt a gush of wind circulate him and in no time, he was in the market. This time around, he didn't feel weird but prepared.

His hands picked what needed to be picked and the women gave him what needed to be given without stress.

After thirty minutes he was done and he teleported back to the kitchen with success.

Still in the same intensity of his powers, he began to cook.

"Jesus Christ!" Xenon exclaimed in shock when the gas lit itself and the ingredient twirled in the air on its own and went to the sink.

He looked at the pot and tried to carry it but the utensil moved on its own to the gas and Xenon tried to hide his shock but failed woefully. When he thought he could hide his powers and still use them in public, another style came up.

"Fine then, I need water in the pot since you don't want me to do anything." He told whatever it was that was miraculously doing things and to his utmost surprise, water rushed out from the sink and went sideways swiftly till it reached the pot.

"That's enough." He commanded and it stopped.

He laughed at what just happened and excitement coursed through him.

"Okay, let's do that then." He smirked and thought of what he needed to do next. He was going to dress the Tilapia fish alone and make sure that not the tiniest speck of bone would be seen.

"Chop the onions, slice the cabbage, chop the fresh pepper, green beans, and other vegetables neatly." He ordered as if he was talking to someone in the room and immediately the kitchen vibrated.

Xenon was scared that it might cause someone to come in from the impact of the voice but he became relaxed slowly went down and what was left was a chunk of knives clicking against the chopping boards and the vegetables he had mentioned lying neatly to be chopped, satisfied at the results and how things were going smoothly for him in the kitchen, he wore a glove and took the fish from the ice.

He was going to prepare something different from the normal dish the President usually has and he was damn sure he was going to love this one. It was going to be a combination of three different dishes.

Caviar, Stroganina( Raw fish dish), and Olive Salad.

For the first dish, he was going to simply use the fish eggs taken from various types of sturgeon. They are colorful and adorable. And it was going to be garnished showing complexity and subtlety which he was going to implement. The second dish was going to be stressful as he was going to cut the flesh of the fish thinly and it would also consist of thin slices of muksun, omul, and nelma. It is also flavored with salt and pepper.

As for the salad, he was going to add vegetables, eggs, mayonnaise, and meat such as smoked ham or chicken in this dish to make it juicy for eating.

Xenon was so lost in what he was doing that he didn't notice anyone entering his sole concentration was making sure the fish was perfect.

"Stop boiling the water and add pasta to it, after that continue and make sure to parboil." He said casually and he heard the gas being switched off and the pot made some noise.

"Good, don't chop the lettuce please, just leave it in big shards so you can slice the garbage in thin lines." He said without looking.

"Wash the meat and add some seasoning to it and–"

"I think that's too much for one person Xenon, let me do something at a time! I came to help and not to be a robot!"

The voice said and Xenon yelled in shock and jumped at the voice.

"Jeez! What are you doing here?" He asked in horror, his face became red and hot and he looked everywhere to check if things were still intact and not automatically doing things on the ground.

"I was here a few minutes ago to see you when you asked me to switch off the gas to add the pasta"

"I wasn't talking to you!" Xenon half yelled, he felt so embarrassed that he couldn't believe he was talking to himself all this while, God! What if he or she stumbled on when everything was chopping on its own?

The girl laughed and threw her head backward.

"Of Course, you were, Look! I understand that no one wants to help but I think you should quit that mentality. I'm here to learn and help." She said sweetly and Xenon sighed, she looked strange, and this would be the first time he would be seeing her.

"You're the new apprentice?" He asked where and she nodded.

"Yes, I'm Aliya."
