Magi Craft Meister

Lao Zi replies with a smile to the voice that it was not a slap.

"This is rude. Don't make food crude."

Then the voice lord looked surprised.

"This surprised me. This is the first time a customer has guessed that it's food!

The Lord of the Voice who came out of the back was about thirty years ago, a man with bright brown hair, Gray's eyes. Lao Zi finds out that this would be Oliver, the shopkeeper.

"Is that your husband?

"Yeah, yeah, I'm Oliver, the shopkeeper. Customers…… come from afar?

Lao Zi's outfit...... Looking at the standard butler's outfit in a small group of countries, Oliver seems to have guessed that at least he's not from this neighborhood town.

"Yes, my husband commanded me."

I'm not lying. It is an ingredient that Jen so diligently seeks.

"You know what's in that hand is food, don't you?

"Yeah. It's bonito, right? You scrape this thinly, put it in hot water, remove the extract, use it for soup, etc."

As soon as Oliver spoke of it, Oliver jumped up.

"Oh my God! That's how you ate it!

"What? Didn't you know?

"Yeah, yeah. I'm ashamed..."

It was finely crushed and shaved, but it wasn't very tasty, Oliver said.

"Your husband knew you well! Although I have seen the purchase, I didn't know how to use the name in such detail that it was divided, so I was having trouble with it."

"Yeah, anything, sounds like a legend passed down to my husband's house from generation to generation"

I don't need to lie, but I don't need to tell you all the truth, so Lao Zi decided to keep it properly deluded.

"In short, you mean the ingredients used to extract the 'flavour'. Because it's a fish, you should use it for vegetables and other stewed dishes."

"I see!...... If you don't mind, could you tell us one dish, how to make it? Oh, at that time, we'll make that 'bonito', one free"

As for Oliver, I thought that if I knew how to use it, I would be able to sell more ingredients called bonito.

Laoko decided to take the offer because he knew Jen wasn't a rash at spreading Japanese food and Japanese culture.

"Okay."

"Oh, thank you! Would you like to use the kitchen?

So Lao Zi headed with Oliver to the kitchen.

"First I'll make a 'sharpen'"

Since there was no bonito sharpener, Laoko put out a knife for protection and began to sharpen the bonito offered by Oliver. Is the slight lack due to crushing and shaving?

"Wow, you sharpen so thin!

Lao Zi put the sharpening in a pan with water and hung it on fire.

"Depending on the use, there are ways to stop the fire just before it boils and to let it boil and put it down for a while. It seems to smell like fish when it boils."

The knowledge accumulated by Peridreader will also be mobilized to explain.

"After I've taken the extract, I'll take it quickly with a net. You can feed this to some livestock."

They were feeding cats during the Edo period and elsewhere.

"This is Bonito Stock."

"Hmm... you use this for soup, don't you?

"Yeah.... what do you have vegetables for?

"There are just a few dried vegetables around here because vegetables are precious"

However, Laoko noticed that there were several eggs on the shelf.

"Can I use this egg?

"Oh, that's a sand bird (sandbird) egg, isn't it? Please use it."

Sandbirds (Sandbirds) are medium-sized birds that live in the Firming Desert and prey on Scorpia. The meat is not good enough to eat, but the eggs are edible, Oliver explained.

Lao Zi was going to make egg soup.

I dropped the eggs in hot water where the stock was taken, stirred and scattered, I could season the flavor with salt, but I added only a little dried leafy vegetables.

"Come on, go ahead"

Having tasted it himself and confirmed the salting, Lao Zi offered Oliver the egg soup.

Oliver, who received it, took a sip,

"This is delicious!

And I said it as a surprise.

"I can't believe how easy it is to make it taste better!

But Lao Zi denied the words.

"No, it's easy to use, but it must take a lot of work to make bonito."

It is the knowledge taught by Jen. The Jen also probably acquired knowledge in manga, but Oliver was impressed with the words.

"You can certainly say that. No, thank you. I know how to use it, and as promised, you can pay for one."

The price of one bottle was 400 tons, about 4000 yen.

Even with this much discount, it would be cheap because I found out how to use bonito, I think Laoko. It is not a knowledge that can be exchanged for a very 400 torr.

but in the sense of gaining a connection with Oliver, Lao Zi thought he had succeeded.

"I'll buy it, if you don't mind."

Oliver's lines when he leaves. Lao Zi asks back subtly.

"When is it going to be this time?

Oliver hesitated for a moment when asked, but immediately replied with a smile on his face.

"I think it'll be about five days"

"Well, then you're still staying here. We'll drop by again."

"Thank you for your time."

It was an unexpected way, but I was able to connect with Oliver, and Lao Zi was satisfied.

"Well, what's left is the interracial thing."

Lao Zi presumed that within five days Oliver must meet someone who can purchase bonito. There is a good chance that the opponent is interracial.

but it is an illegal deal. Perhaps we are acting with such prudence that we are not even distracted by the intimate detectives of the Empire of Shouro. Don't be in a hurry, Lao Zi admonished himself.

"How will you take advantage of this opportunity…"

Lao Jun, the demonic brainchild of Penglai Island, who is using Lao Zi, concluded that he should report to Jen.

Therefore, the old child is instructed to send the two bonitoes obtained at the transfer gate (warp gate).

He thought that the bonito received would be a good reason to summon Jen.

"Master (My Road), bonito found"

Jen, who heard that information, was just happy to jump up, as you expected.

"You said you got bonito!?

He also seems to be drowsy.

"Yes, the old man sent me earlier."

"I'll be right there!

Jen runs from the workshop to the command room. Reiko also continued.

"Oh!"

There were two bonitos on the command room table that Jen kept asking for.

"Now I want you to make miso soup..."

To Jen's whining, the perido-reader who had refrained replies.

"Okay. Just now. And master, may I use one for cooking and the other for research?

Bonito is molded and its mold power transforms protein into amino acids, giving it a flavor. They wanted samples to identify the type of mold and to study additions and subtractions.

"Oh, I hope so. According to you, you'll get it again soon."

"Thank you. What time should we prepare your meal?

"Right, in an hour."

Reiko wanted Jen to take a nap for about an hour because she knew Jen lacked sleep.

"Right. Elsa and Hannah will be back by then, so for the three of us."

"Accepted."

Peridreader lowers with two bonitoes.

Jen laid a futon in the hall, and took a nap.
