Those who have settled here are building settlements.

With regard to food in such a village, they go out to hunt monsters to the magic field outside the barrier, receive blessings from the vast forests such as wild plants, mushrooms, and fruits, collect fish from rivers and lakes, raise livestock chickens, and receive milk from phantoms.

In addition, it produces fields for stable food production, but harvesting from them takes time.

"... witch, what should we make?"

Meanwhile, Morph, the representative of Minotaur, who is proud to be good at farming, comes to the Mansion and asks me:

When the physically fit Minotaur got up, I had to look up, so I asked him to sit down and listen.

"Maybe we should grow the crops we need?"

“Wheat, barley, beans, carrots, potatoes, onions, peppers, aubergines, asparagus, pumpkin, cabbage, turnips, tomatoes, corn, broccoli… and many more!”

There is nothing I specifically dictate, and Tete speaks the names of crops one after the other.

"... I've already planted all the vegetables I need, and I've already received a sow from Beretta-sama."Other vegetables will be planted in turn when the time comes. "

So, what do I need to worry about? When I lean my neck, the originally silent Minotaur Morph slowly chooses words over time.

"... this is how I got a safe place to live."That's why I want to create something new that I've never done before. ”

Oh, that's right.

You can calmly farm in the new land of the corners.

Then you want to make something you've never seen before.

Hmmm. Well then, how about this? - [Creation]!

I produce a certain grain with Creation Magic .

"... is that wheat?"

"No, it's rice. It's grain grown in paddy fields."

"It's so tasty!"Besides, the sake made from it is delicious! "

In this mansion, only a small amount of rice is harvested because of the rice created by my [creation magic] and the rice in the items cultivated by the maid team.

For this reason, me and Teto can eat rice and rice-based dishes, but they are not very popular.

I would definitely like to ask you here to reproduce and popularize the meals of previous generations.

Witch, can you teach me how to eat this rice?

"Yeah, well, I'll give you a little time to cook."I need to prepare a variety of rice dishes. ”

Tete, help me cook!

Tete and I were surprised to hear Minotaur Morph's request.

"Boo, boo! No way, the witch is making it herself!?"

"That's right, I haven't been cooking lately."Sometimes if you don't make it, your arms will be dull. "

“Tete wants to eat curry rice for the first time in a long time!”

We'll have Minotaur Morph bring back food rations and we'll start cooking in the kitchen.

That said, Tete and I alone can't make so many kinds of meals, so I'll ask the children of the maids on duty today to help me and replace them with our dinner.

Immediately, if you soak the sharpened rice in water and put the pan on the stove, the white rice will cook up.

"First of all, the classic rice balls, right?"Let's use a salt knot without the clasp... ”

Witch, I've taken the leaves!

Tete goes to take the leaves of the shisho that wind instead of Nori.

I wanted to add something like dried plum, but for beginners, the hurdles were high, so I gave up.

I'm holding the salt knot with my small hand, thinking that I really want to use seafood such as nori, sharks, okaka, and tuna stew.

Ah, if you think about the rice balls, you'll want seafood.

Witch, you can make it with Creation Magic .

“I don't want it for me, I want it continuously for everyone to eat.”

I want to treat everyone to a feverish meal from a distant past.

But the problem is that there is no sea inland, so seafood is not available.

In the meantime, the next step is to make rice dishes with cheese risotto, chicken rice, fried rice, paella, and tete request curry rice.

In terms of paella making, there are actually crayfish and freshwater shellfish in rivers and swamps, so only a small amount can be picked.

"I wonder if it's like this as a sample."In addition, I think it would be good if the dumplings, rice cakes, and rice cakes that are prepared were made with Creation Magic .

After that, I'll have to summarize and introduce the recipe for rice dishes.....

Perhaps it was time to think about it, but once a man from Minotaur had left food rations, he brought a man with him.

"Gahahaha! Somehow, I heard that the witch was going to cook for me, and I followed her."

"Boom... I'm sorry, witch..."

"Morph, Gasta is here." Well, it's a rice tasting party, so go ahead and eat as you please. "

“Last but not least, prepare rice liquor that Teto cares about!”

Tete, who also holds the sake barrel that I made with Creation Magic , came.

Then Minotaur Morphs quickly grabbed the rice balls he held in my small hand and ate them.

”Boom... it's a strange texture... and when I chew on it, it gets sweet”

But, you little bitch, I want to eat it even harder.

The silent Minotaur morphs quietly tasted the onigiri, and the demonic Gasta opened his mouth and ate two or three at once.

It's a rice balls arrangement, but this time, I'll put some gear inside.

Miso and soy sauce, which the children of the mechanoids have been studying for many years, are taken out, applied to the rice balls, and baked on the net.

Perhaps the fragrant scent of miso and soy sauce has stimulated their appetites, and they reach for the grilled rice balls.

Morphs also taste a small amount of food, and Gasta chooses and eats gutturi-style food anyway.

“The rice is so delicious!”

Tete is eating curry rice in a pile, and both of them are hard on the curry because of its pungent scent.

Afterwards, they eat baked rice cakes and dumplings, and enjoy the crispy, polypolis texture of deep-fried rice cakes and pancakes fried in oil.

"Maybe this is good for a pinch of booze."It's salty and delicious. "

"... a mysterious texture... is this the same rice?"

"It's called a rice cake, and the rice of the rice cake variety is steamed and crushed with a bowl and a pestle.There are also other powdered objects that have been kneaded in hot water and molded. "

It is possible to classify rice flour very finely, such as dumplings kneaded with hot water, rice powder used for rice powder, rice cake powder, starch extracted by immersion in water, and white corn flour.

In addition, long-grain rice distributed in the port city of the Low Bile Kingdom was suitable for paella and other types of rice.

However, I think it is innocent to tell the two of them about such rice now that they are eating delicious rice dishes.

Gasta prefers salty fried rice cakes and pancakes, while Morph seems to prefer sweetness.

And finally...

Open the barrel!

Wow, I've been waiting for you!

"Boom... is that okay?"

The morph of Minotaur, who ate the rice dishes in great magnitude, drinks sake with Gasta while being a little more confused.

"The alcohol is delicious ~"

"Ouch, ouch... Puhaha! Ugh!This is rice liquor!Alright, let my Kakaa make it! "

Men of the demon tribe make use of their physical abilities to make money in mercenary activities, etc., and women are engaged in agriculture and sake brewing by protecting their hiding places and homes.

They also make honey liquor from honey made by the bee demon Quimby.

And the morphs who drank the sake...

"Boom... it's not like a wine made from wheat or wine made from grapes.Even though it's as transparent as water, it has a deep taste..... "

Are you impressed? I moisten my eyes and drink it like I taste it.

And when I finish drinking, I'll kneel on the floor and bow my head deeply.

"I finally tasted the rice dish that the witch made for me."We will add rice to our family's new crops. ”

"Oh! I'll make it myself, but if you run out of rice, bring it!"I'll have them all made into booze, Gahahaha! "

"Then Tete wants to drink!"

Tete and Gasta's drunken voice came into Minotaur Morph's determination, and it felt like nothing was going to stop.

After that, Minotaur and Demonic Village... moreover, since the ancient dragon grandfather had been drinking Japanese sake deliciously, the three races of dragon demons began to make rice, and after receiving advice from the mechanoids, rice and sake were delivered to us a few years later.
