Sorry I've not been updating for a while now. I've just been busy, busy, busy and haven't had time to get onto my computer. Anyway here you go.
Chapter 5- Preparing for a feast
Sjin looked at the labelled chests. Most of them contained ready-made food that he'd made earlier. But some of the chests contained ingredients. As I said, he really wanted to eat but cooking was his passion, as well as tree breeding. So Sjin walked up to the wheat chest. Stacks of golden wheat stared at him when he opened the wooden lid. He took a few. A chugging started as the pipes underneath sucked some wheat up from the outside farm and transported it to the chest to fill it up. Sjin rubbed the wheat between his fingers, making it crumble. The wheat was perfect.
He held the wheat in his fist and slammed the lid shut. He walked to the counter in the middle of the Farm Shop and put the wheat down on the crafting table.
"What else do I need?" He said stroking his beard "Oh yeah, that's right!" Sjin opened the chest under the counter and rummaged through until he found a bucket. With bucket in hand he walked out the kitchen and went to the animal pens. The animal pens were split into three. One for sheep, one for cows and one for pigs. Behind the animal pens was a chicken coop. The animal Sjin wanted was a cow.
He walked up to the fence and called one over. It walked slightly closer to him. Sjin sighed then lent over the fence to try and reach it. His fingers brushed the end of the cows' fur. He held the bucket tightly and swung it over the fence. The bucket tapped the cow, annoying it but instantly filling the bucket with creamy milk. He lifted the bucket carefully back over the fence and tried not to spill it. Every drop was precious. The milk sloshed around the bucket, slightly flowing of the rim.
Sjin started to skip back to the kitchen but realised that he was spilling the milk. So he walked steadily up the steps, which led to the Farm Shop. Inside he put the bucket of milk next to the wheat on the crafting table.
He looked around the kitchen and pointed at the one labelled sugar.
"There it is" He said suddenly interrupted by two more shots of pain "I'm getting food soon!" He ran to the chest marked sugar. Inside were lots of piles of sugar, fresh from his sugar cane farm. He grabbed a handful; and dumped it on the crafting table. There was one more thing to get.
He opened the egg box on the counter and carefully lifted one out. This egg was fresh from his chicken coop. Those poor chickens though they didn't have enough room to run around. Well that's life for you. The eggs cold shell felt cold against his sweaty hand.
"I'm sorry Jason" Sjin said licking his lips at the sad looking egg. He rolled it onto the crafting table. Smoke rose from all the ingredients and the crafting table shook. Sjin stood, hands on hips, waiting for his food.
Then as if by magic the ingredients disappeared and a cake took its place.
Meh, this one was boring but just you wait…
