All for food

"Esong," Folsom said the name in a suspicious tone. "Do you know something that we don't?"

Esong pretended that he had not heard the question. His eyes remained glued to the screen. He sent ten more silver space ships and his friends jaws almost dropped to the ground.

"Ho it is nice to be a rich man." Ian commented. 

"Are you in love with her?" Folsom asked. "You are behaving too suspiciously because of that woman."

Esong refused to respond to any of the comments. In his mind however, he was thinking, 'I am doing all this for food. You unlucky beings have no idea how much happiness the taste of food in the mouth evokes."

"We have arrived at the agricultural research bureau." Cedric announced. "Should we disembark?"

"I am still busy, we can wait for a while." Esong answered.

Busy!!!!! his friends looked at one another and then at Esong. When did watching a live broadcast qualify as a busy activity? 

"Esong, I am really worried about you now. I think we should go to a hospital to get your brain checked out."

"Shut up." Esong replied lazily. 

On the screen, Scarlet placed down the fork and removed everything to do with chicken. She brought over a five pound chunk of beef and placed it on a wooden chopping board. 

"This is the beef that I am going to turn into a grilled steak. For this steak, I am using only the flank which is part of the abdomen. So we can call it a flank steak.

Because of muscle fiber, I have to cut this perpendicularly like this. The ingredients available for use in my kitchen today are newly experimental products like soy sauce, ginger, chilli garlic sauce, oil and some brown sugar. All of the ingredients to make these things come from the Blue forest. I showed you what garlic looked like last time so I will not explain the ingredients in detail.Now about the meat, the beef must be soaked in the flavors first to marinate."

[What is marinate?]

[Explain marinate?]

[When are you putting all these ingredients up for sell?]

[I am a representative of the best mutant beast hunters guild in the empire. We are requesting for a license to hunt in your blue forest.]

What I have discovered so far through experiments is that it's best to marinate overnight twelve hours at least. This has only marinated for one hour.

Those of you who are wondering what marinating is, it simply means combining all ingredients in one bag or tightly locked dish and leaving this in a refrigerator for a specific period of time.

When it's taken out of the refrigerator just like this, we take it out of the marinade and place it on a plate. I placed mine on a chopping board. Don't be like me, do the right thing." 

She joked and laughed.

"We add some sea salt and fresh pepper then the beef goes on a grill with high heat. Grill the steak for five minutes if it's on high heat. You can do six to nine minutes if it's medium heat. This five pound steak can ideally feed six or nine people depending on the size of the cuts." 

The steak was soon ready, and she placed it on a plate for tasting. 

 "Have you all turned on your sensors because I am about to take the first bite of steak." 

[Ready.]

[Hurry up.]

[I see Severus the nasty dog moving into a lunging position. Hurry up before he steals the steak.]

[I hope I don't bite my tongue again.]

She cut a small piece and chewed it ravishingly. The viewers in her live broadcast melted under the sweet taste of meat for the first time in their lives. 

[Please keep eating.]

[The high quality shakes we have been drinking are garbage compared to real food,]

[Keep eating mutated beasts and you will be poisoned.]

[I will happily die on a mountain called meat.]

[Call me meat, it's my new name.]

She ate half of the steak before stopping because Severus's growls were getting louder. 

"Okay that's all for cooking today. Before I say goodbye, I will address some of your questions and make some announcements. 

Those of you who are asking when the online shop will be opened, it will be up and running within one hour. As you know, I had to get a trading license before selling products in the interstellar. The license arrived one hour ago and preparations are underway to open the shop.

Those who are requesting for licenses to hunt in the Blue forest I will consider it but most likely my answer will be negative because the Blue star needs it's resources to develop so if you pillage it and leave it dry then what do I tell the people I govern? 

One individual has asked me if I am accepting immigrants on the Blue star. My answer is yes but it will start next month. We have rules to put in place before allowing immigrants. The blue star is not as big as the Sun star or the Green star but it's still a large planet and the current population is sadly too small to fasten development so if you are willing to move here we will welcome you. 

The companies which are trying to get me to move my live broadcast to their websites, please send your representatives to the blue star for negotiations. Keep in mind that anything less than an A level contract will not be considered. Some of you may think that I am magnifying my worth but keep in mind that I am a governor of a planet, I am a general's wife, I am a chef with millions of followers and I am a trend setter. 

Bejeweled's fans who are telling me to go and die because I said their pick me queen has a head that is full of shit , I am too tired to respond to you. I don't even see you.

Lastly, I will be picking thirty lucky winners who will receive one steak meal. 

Thank you for tuning in today, Scarlet out. "
