Cook

You skim over the list, and point to ‘Cook’.

“I’ve been needing a cook for a little, let’s get you in the kitchen, eh?”

He ushers into the kitchen. He takes an apron of a hook and tosses it to you. You put it on and tie it around your waist. He leads you to a cutting board and cast iron stove. He pulls out a recipe book and sets it down.

“Now, we don’t usually get very many people on Mondays, but the way your wage works is that we split the money 50/50.”

He leaves, and you stand there, sitting around. A few hours later, right before your shift ends, a man sits at the counter.

“Beef stew with corn on the cob.” He tosses 100 Gold Kilnots on the counter.

You put them in a small dish for wages, and get to work.

You put a steak on the griddle and heat up the fire beneath. You also put a pot of water on the griddle. You sit and prepare a small sauce for the steak. You drop a ear of corn in the water, and flip your steak. You sit for a small bit, and lift the steak, setting it on a cutting board. You cut it into thin strips, and cut those strips. You quickly chop up some vegetables, and you pile them all together. You pull the corn out of the water, and onto a dish. You pour salt into the pot, mix it, pour some into a small mixing bowl, and drop in the steak and vegetables. You stir them, add a little bit of spice, and pour into a serving bowl. You place the corn on a small plate and slide them to the man. He turns back around, and looks at the food.

“You call this corn on the cob? This thing looks disgusting and undercooked. What I wouldn’t give to cram this up your stupid cunt!”
