Dialogue
 * "As the plague worsens, the poor are being hit the hardest. Food prices have climbed uncontrollably as farmers and merchants have slowed shipments to Kaineng City for fear of infection.  Charitable funds have dried up as people worry only for themselves.  The emperor is concerned for his people, especially the poor and elderly, and has mandated that his personal cooks prepare food for them.  It is a gracious gesture by our emperor, but the Imperial Guard has no men to spare to protect the cooks while they distribute soup to the needy.  If you are loyal to the emperor, go to Bukdek Byway and help protect Imperial Chef Yileng."

 * Canthan Peasant: "The emperor has given us a great gift. I will not dishonor him by fleeing from that which threatens his city!"
 * Imperial Chef Yileng: "Let us see how this Afflicted creature likes the taste of my soup ladle! Face me at your own peril, devil spawn!"

 * "I will return tomorrow with more soup. I swear it in name of the emperor!"

Reward Dialogue
 * "It is a noble gesture indeed to help protect those who cannot protect themselves. You will always be a friend of the Imperial Guard.  I cannot thank you enough."

Walkthrough
Chef Yileng is found near the southwestern area of Bukdek Byway. Once you reach him 2 waves of Afflicted will approach over the bridge to the south. Once you kill both waves of enemies, return to Imperial Guardsman Kintae to complete the quest.

Tip: It is best to fight the Afflicted on the bridge, away from the chef. This way they will not think to attack the chef. The chef is very easy to kill so taking the fight away from him makes this quest much easier.

Note: There is a bug that may occur if you have not yet taken the quest Missing Daughter. The second wave of Afflicted will sometimes aggro on the Jade Brotherhood from that quest and fight them instead of continuing on towards the bridge. If the second wave seems to be taking quite a long time to arrive after the first has been wiped out, it is worth checking that they have not been sidetracked in this manner.

Glitches
If Chef Yileng dies then you will get quest failed update. When you press "L" it tells you to go to a city, outpost, etc. to reset the quest. When you travel to one of them the quest does not reset. You will have to go to a city, (preferably Kaineng Centerfor that is where quest can be obtained) abondon quest, then go see Imperial Guardsman Kintae and get quest again.
