Powerful Farmer
Food with mystical energy

Early in the morning Joan and dad were getting ready for the city. From last night they had rented a bovine cart to carry how many sacks of rice and how many chickens, as well as a few vegetables to give to the manager of the restaurant "Our Appetite", where they had sold rice before.

This time Joan's sister went with it all. Joan's father and two younger sisters sat in front to control the cow pulling the carriage and Joan and her youngest sister sat on a pile of rice.

The long journey in how many hours they went through with joy especially the children had never traveled far from their homes. This is their first time in town

So Joan's sisters with big eyes noticed the things that attracted their eyes and unceasingly asked this and that to Joan and her father.

Father and Joan were not bothered by this and they were also happy to see the happiness of children who had just seen the world.

Especially when the train had entered the city, it did not stop their eyes were round and their mouths formed the letter "O" when looking at the hustle of the small town and also the large buildings that feel unique and beautiful in their eyes.

Inside the VIP room in the restaurant of our Tastes, sat a handsome young man who looked cold and aloof was enjoying a cup of tea poured by a female servant.

The manager of the restaurant stood before the young man respectfully and with a gesture of humbling himself, a sweat dripping down his forehead which he looked like he was not being ignored.

The young man looked at him and ordered;

"Bring me the most delicious meal of the chef of this place. I haven't eaten well in a long time".

"Yes, sir, believe me. I'll prepare it personally";

The manager lowered his body respectfully and as soon as he wanted to escape from there, he walked out of the room and went into the kitchen.

He had absolutely not expected his young master to appear so suddenly that day. His famous young master had a cold and indifferent personality towards anyone.

For what his young master left the capital and appeared in a small town that would normally not attract the attention of the nobles in the country.

The manager immediately ordered the chef to cook what a delicious menu for his chatty young master. Of course, this talk is only in his mind because if the word comes out of his mouth, his head may no longer be on his body.

Meanwhile Joan's family had arrived in front of the restaurant and A Hui who had known them before came to greet them with a big smile on his face.

"Let's go in and sit here first"; he said, inviting them to sit in the long chair in the room.

A Hui noticed that their clothes were better than before and although not from expensive fabric materials but looked quite good.

Indeed today they deliberately wear clothes that Joan had just bought when they came to this city before because Joan did not want her sisters to get a degrading view of the people of that city.

"Thank you sir for the hospitality"; joan's father told A Hui.

"Ho ho ho, please don't call me master. Unbecoming, just call me A Hui" A Hui told Joan's father.

"You can call me brother A Hui" he said again to the four children...

Joan's family responded to A Hui's words happily because A Hui was very polite and did not demean them despite knowing that they were from the village.

"Yes, brother A Hui"; they said in unison.

"Wait here first yes, I will call the manager first" said A Hui while taking how much candy from a glass jar on the cashier's table and giving a two to the four children.

The four children happily accepted the candy and put it in their clothes. They planned to eat it on the way home.

Joan noticed the candy and she realized it was just solidified sugar liquid, of course it had been a lot of fun for her sisters who rarely get such candy. Joan thinks how about they eat chocolate candy and she plans to make it for her sisters, certainly not for now.

"Bruck"

The sound of a table being slapped sounded from afar.

Although the voice was not very audible but Joan's sensitive ears heard it. He scrunched his forehead and thought about what was going on there. Of course he couldn't see what was behind that closed door and he also thought it wasn't his business.

A Hui came back in shame and walked over to them, his face somewhat pale like a frightened person.

"Sorry sir, it looks like you will wait a little longer because it looks like the manager is accompanying an important guest inside".

"It's okay, we have plenty of time. Please brother A Hui busied himself, we will wait here ".

"If you are tired of sitting here, just take a walk around this place. There is a park and a mini zoo in the back room of this place. Perhaps you are interested in seeing it"; said A Hui kindly

Joan's father and sisters immediately got up from the bench they were sitting on and followed A Hui walking into the back room.

Although it was still morning and the restaurant was not yet opened to the public but the busyness in the kitchen was already visible. The chef and his assistant are seen preparing the dishes in a hurry.

"Quick serve this to the VIP room, our guests seem to be very fussy in judging our food"; the head chef said hurriedly.

Not long after, manager Wang with a face full of complaints came to the kitchen, glancing at Joan who was standing at the door but did not have time to greet her because she looked so panicked and confused.

"Others we can do. This famous delicacy in the restaurant could not satisfy the appetite of the young master. Don't eat, touch him he won't"; the Manager said, not knowing who he was saying that to

Everyone in the room was speechless. The room immediately felt quiet, everyone simultaneously halted their activities. Their heads were lowered in despair.

Joan walked up to the manager and said softly;

"Master, may I try".

The manager turned his face to Joan and asked hesitantly.

"What do you mean, son, I'm sorry I didn't notice you";

"I mean, may I try to cook for the master"; said Joan.

"Ha, ha, ha"

Sounds of laughter were heard in the room. Amidst the confusion they were suddenly refreshed by the words of Joan.

"Take your famous delicious course, the master did not want to eat it let alone home cooking from the village hick. Lest he throw it away immediately"; said the head chef voicing his opinion which must also be the thoughts of the majority of people in the kitchen

But the manager pondered Joan's words and he immediately said;

"OK, there's no harm in trying, if he threw it away, there's no harm to us. Because I don't know what else to do either. Maybe the home cooking she wanted".

Everyone in the room was flabbergasted to hear the manager's words but they also did not want to refute him. Who knows if it's true.

Joan immediately walked over to one of the available cooking places. He picked up the pot, took a little rice and two eggs and spices from the bag he was carrying

Wash the rice with mystical water in the bottle he brought from home and he takes the pot and cooks.

"Porridge".....

"Gosh, it's done. It's not wrong what he did. Delicious food alone at the reject let alone just a bowl of porridge".

The thought instantly resounded in everyone's head as they watched what Joan cooked

Joan focused on the work she was doing and did not notice the gazes of everyone who was watching her confused, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Not long after the smell of freshly cooked porridge snaking in the room..

No one's exception, of course Joan can be ignored. The men sniffed the fragrant smell greedily and felt their bodies become fresh and comfortable as they smelled the fragrance of the porridge.

"A a a pa this, why the fragrance can be so refreshing""

"Yes, I immediately felt my fatigue disappear when I smelled the fragrance of this porridge".

"It sure tastes good, ooo I want to exchange my salary for a month as long as I can eat this porridge".

A dumbfounded cry immediately came out from the mouths of those people. How unconscious were their drooling droolers wetting the corners of their mouths when they noticed Joan stuffing the porridge into the bowl, lay the eggs of the cow's eyes and chives on the porridge and then hand it to the manager who was still standing stunned looking at him without doing anything.

"Manager"; joan raised his voice...

"Ah, what. Yeah, yeah, here I'm gonna take him".

The manager took a tray with a bowl of porridge on it.

He muttered to himself, it felt like he was reluctant to hand the porridge over to the young master and was willing to eat it himself immediately but he immediately remembered to the anger of his young master and shuddered at the fate of his head. He immediately left the place

Joan soon left the kitchen and followed her family to the garden behind the restaurant.
