Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife

Chapter 244 Naked Ginger Bread Men.





[I find this mother-son duo cute.] 

[Yes chef mummy, ..hahaha]

[He is like a little cadet, how adorable, I love it. ]

Justin took the cookie cutters and carefully started cutting out cookies while Scarlet carefully placed them in a baking pan. 

When he finished his batch, he looked at her for approval. His large grey eyes were so hopeful, as he begged for praise.

She did not withhold the praise and gave him a big smile. "Great job chef assistant chef Justin." she said. 

They tapped their hands together in the form of a high five. 

"Our cookies can now go into the oven at a temperature of three fifty for ten minutes. If the shapes are smaller, then you can bake them for less time. While they bake, we can make more ginger bread men to fill up the ovens. I will also prepare the ingredients for icing, this procedure I will not explain out loud because we have done it before." 

Having learned from her, Mr. Rodney asked someone to turn up the volume of the Christmas music while Scarlet and Justin worked in not so perfect sync because he made mistakes occasionally but under her careful guidance, he always corrected his mistake. 

[The mother is so gentle and patient with the son, excuse me miss, do you need anymore children? If yes, adopt me.] 

[How old are you before asking if she needs anymore children?] 

[How I wish that food existed three years ago, I would have loved to bake with my mother before she died.] 

[I am hungry, please take a bite of the raw dough.] 

[Stupid Severus is drooling and sniffing the air, the dog is contaminating the environment.]

[Do you and the mecha king cook together at home?] 

[Am I the only one who is curious why that Christmas song is threatening. 'You better watch out, you better not pout, you better not cry!!]

For a few seconds Mr. Rodney had been worried that if Scarlet remained silent for a while then the viewers would become bored and leave but the view count increased, one hundred ninety million people were watching.

The oven dinged and Scarlet took the freshly baked cookies out of the oven and the smell of ginger cookies filled the air. 

One of the star shaped cookies was broken but the rest were fine. 

"Look at our ginger bread men everyone, they are perfect. What do you think chef Justin?" 

Justin looked at the cookies and put a serious look on his face, or what he thought was serious because he scrunched his nose and folded his arms. 

"They are perfect mummy, like little men." he said with a broad smile. 

She looked at the camera and smiled, "There you go, I give your cookies a ten out of ten rating. Now, let's decorate our cookies with icing, the ginger bread men are naked, we should put some clothes on them."

Justin giggled when she said the gingerbread men were naked. "They are not naked, silly mummy." 

"Oh, let me put some clothes on and then you will see the difference between them. You do not need to be tense when doing this, just have fun." 

As Scarlet decorated the cookies with white icing, Justin watched her carefully. 

[If anyone sees me naked from now on, please ignore me, I am a ginger bread man.]

[I love the broadcast today, she is so cheerful and the interaction between mother and son is so natural.] 

[Can you bite a cookie already, I am dying to taste.] 

[Star net is so fast, they are selling ginger bread men emoticons already.]

[I keep hearing ginger this and ginger that but what is ginger and what does it look like?] 

She was finished and the drone cameras brought a close up view of the finished cookies. The ginger bread men. 

"Look at that, aren't they beautiful?" 

[Why are the ginger bread men so cute?] 

[They look like they are wearing tiny little shirts with buttons.]

[The chief taster is ready to do his job.] 

"The hour of judgement is upon us, assistant chef Justin, will you do the honors?" She placed one gingerbread men on a small saucer plate and extended it toward Justin. 

"Thank you mummy." he was already extending the cookie to his mouth as he thanked her. Then, he took the first bite, directly biting off the head of the ginger bread man. 

Mr. Rodney and Scarlet knew that Justin's actions would be the source of some funny reactions from the viewers. 

After the head, he bit off an arm and Scarlet laughed. 

[This is too brutal, poor tasty ginger bread man.]

[Two seconds ago I thought they were too cute to eat but now I will rip their heads off and feed them to my tummy.]

[I like them but I prefer the Danish cookies.]

[I like the way he has systematically demolished the ginger bread man, first the head, then the arms and the legs. A true son of mecha warrior.] 

Aside from the taste of the cookies, most of the viewers were more interested in which part of the ginger bread man was most suitable to be eaten first. 

While they argued, the big fish threw out more and more gifts. Scarlet had baked more cookies so chances were, she might save a few for a give away. 

"Well, there you have it, Christmas ginger bread cookies for all of you try out in your own kitchens. And for those who like things simple, we will be selling ginger cookies starting tomorrow, not ginger bread men but cookies. If you want the men, contact one of the blue star confectionaries directly. Let's say bye-bye to Justin everyone." 

He waved at the camera, he held his index and middle finger up and said, "Justin out."

He left with a plateful of ginger bread cookies and a smile on his face. 

"Okay, so we cannot have Christmas without eggnog, this one is for the adults because it's a recipe that includes some alcohol and as per the empire's law no one under twenty can take alcohol. 

It's a simple and quick recipe so follow along." she cracked six eggs and separated the egg whites from the yolks. She added sugar to the yolks and whisked them together until it was light, thick and fluffy. 

"In a pan over heat add some milk. heavy cream, salt, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and stir. Bring this to a simmer then take it off the heat. Slowly, add the milk mixture to the egg mixture and whisk constantly. 

Pour this back into a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until the mixture begins to thicken. When you are satisfied with the thickness, take it off the heat and vanilla extract add your alcohol, I am adding rum. 

Strain this in a jug before pouring the eggnog into bottles and into a fridge it goes."

She talked slowly as she did everything, she had no more than ten minutes left and Severus was happily satisfied enough and in the mood to take her to the crack. 

"So, that's it today guys, I do not know what the law is on drinking anything with alcohol while the taste sensors are on. I do not want to accidentally intoxicate teenagers so I will not be tasting the eggnog. You have the recipe, make it at home and see. For my vey generous fans, thank you for supporting me, I will be sending you a Christmas package so please send your addresses and delivery drones at lunch hour today. Thank you for joining Justin and I today, I will see you all next time. Scarlet out."
