If the Royal Cook not do it, the Royal Cook may lose his position a
s Royal Cook and he also lose his head.
One day, the Royal Cook did not have an idea what
he can cook for the Emperor. So, he decide to take a walk
to harbour, to search an idea what to cook for the Emperor.
Suddently, he meet with a merchant. The merchant was show his a
bird’s nest which comes from Borneo. The Royal Cook wonder how
he can cook the bird’s nest and he asked the merchant recipe.
The merchant say that he did not know. He saw the Borneo
people it the bird’s nest soup and Borneo people say
that it has some potential of longevity properties and that why he buy it.

nd he find the tasted are palin. The Royal are very afraid that the
Emperor may not like the soup, so he asked to the Emperor
to tasted it again, but the Emperor still not like it.

soup are good for health and it can make a person longevity
and the soup also are from the Borneo. The Emperor become
interest to the story about the soup and he announced
that the longevity soup was to be served to him
