Chapter 7 Dishes of Delicious
Edge's eyes widened slightly as he took his first bight of the mushroom soup, but he still forced it down his throat.
Kawasaki frowned, "It's horrible isn't it?
Edge shook his head, "Not horrible, though it could be tweaked a bit." He handed the chef a small packet.
Kawasaki's head cocked to the side, "What's this?"
"Go put a teaspoon of it in the remaining mushroom soup, stir it for a minute, then taste it and see for yourself." Edge instructed the chef.
Hastily, the chef clumsily rushed back to where the pot of mushroom soup was and measured the ingredients in. A few minutes later he exclaimed, "Oh my goodness that's delicious!" Immediately, the chef dipped out some bowls and served them to all his present customers.
Curio looked up at Kawasaki in alarm, "What's this? But I didn't order-"
"It's on the house!" Kawasaki cut him off cheerfully.
"Oh well, in that case…" Curio put a spoonful hesitantly in his mouth and his eyes widened in favor of the soup, "Why this is the most savory, scrumptious soup I've ever discovered! In fact! This is an important day in Cappy History! The day Kawasaki made not good, but excellent soup!"
More compliments like this one flooded the restaurant like a sweet aroma and a beaming Kawasaki floated back over to where Edge, Fumu, Bun, and Kirby were seated.
"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!" Kawasaki's voice was lavishing in gratitude towards Edge, "Please! You have to tell me what you did!"
Bun agreed, "Yeah, it sure would help Kawasaki and the village."
Edge shrugged, "Alright, why not?"
Kawasaki led them back to the kitchen and Edge pulled out a dozen cards with recipes on them. For about three hours, Edge coached the chef through all of them, giving him helpful tips and ideas all the while keeping a minimum of spoken words. In the end, Kawasaki had ten new dishes: Scrumptious cheesy eggs with crispy bacon, chicken and sausage gumbo, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken and shrimp quesadillas, a savory roast stew with carrots and potatoes, smoked honey ham, and lastly, egg-drop soup.
Kawasaki smiled, opening his mouth to thank Edge.
"Don't thank me yet. I have one last delicacy to show you, but you must swear to secrecy," his eyes fell over Kawasaki, Fumu, Bun, and Kirby and waited until they all nodded, "Alright, this one is a little thingy my master used to make for me."
Edge turned around out of sight and pulled out a honey hamster that looked a lot like Rick and a jar of creamy peanut butter as well as two slices of bread.
Taking a dull, butter knife, he spread a layer of the peanut butter over each piece then squeezed out a large pool of honey which he mixed into the peanut butter. He made three more pieces then dispersed them off to the others, eating one himself. Kawasaki began to eat eagerly but the others looked up at him nervously. He jerked his head in a gesture for them to eat it.
They did and their eyes widened as their taste buds tingled with the delightful taste.
"This is the most luscious taste I've ever experienced!" Fumu declared.
"Can I have another piece?" Bun asked hopefully.
"Poyo!" Kirby's eyes sparkled as he licked the last drops of honey off his paw.
"Oh my goodness! This will make me a fortune!" Kawasaki laughed.
Edge regarded him sternly, "If you want to do that, do it honestly."
"How do I do that?" Kawasaki asked.
"Don't overprice the victuals at your restaurant," Edge replied sternly.
"Yeah, remember how King Dedede created that rotating sushi bar a few years back?" Bun asked.
"Nobody would come eat your food because everything was so expensive," Fumu enlightened the chef, "The food was good, but the prices spoiled it."
"Fumu's right, when you price your food too high, people will avoid or make excuses so they don't have to eat here," Edge replied.
"So how can I fix that?" Kawasaki asked.
"Price reasonably," Fumu and Edge replied in chorus with the same firmness of voice. They looked at each other in surprise then everyone laughed.
Fumu turned, hiding a blush.
