Darius had never been a good cook, he hated having to make his own food, however, he would have to try to make some different food to sell at the tournament, it was a way of recovering the money he was spending. Although he could simply create with his coin purse, he felt that this was too easy a way, it would be tiring just to create money without doing anything.
So, he began the preparations, he ground up the orc meat and put it in a large bowl, it was a lot of meat, enough for at least eight people, but he wanted more, as he would share it with the servants. He wanted everyone to taste it and give their verdict on whether or not to sell it.
Sandra, the maid Lucian was having an affair with, was watching as Darius made the food, she was attentive.
Then the cattle meat was ground, and he took some of the orc meat, which was very fatty, and mixed it with the cattle meat, as he thought it was too lean.
