Reincarnated as a Villager ~ Strongest Slow-life
426 Tempura ume!
Something tells me an A-level adventurer is awesome. I wasn't hammered enough to cut trees to impress me.
I can't even talk about people, but I don't think I'm a knife to cut trees. You know, it's cute. Is that the wind demon sword?
A tree with about my torso was lightly cut off just by shaking it gently, and all the branches were paid off in one swing.
"Is this it?
"Uh yeah. Isn't that nice? There's no waste."
Well, it's not like anyone's watching, and the process doesn't matter. Maybe...
"Really, keep the tree and gather the branches. Make it roughly as long as my arm, and wrap anything less around it. Twigs can be taxed."
Twigs are a must to burn firewood. And collect dead leaves, and they'll see it as a tax.
"Okay."
I just can't seem to collect it with a knife, and I started collecting branches one at a time.
Ordinary trees are only cut for about half a day, but collecting branches is five to seven days of work.
It's not an exaggeration to say that most of your work is twig gathering. Cut off orbitally grown branches and gather them into bunches. This is quite a labor.
Well, I'm just an adventurer and I gently cut branches, gather them, and bundle them, but not in a very efficient way.
If you're going to do it efficiently, pay the branches evenly, collect them all in one place after they're done, bundle them into bundles so that they're in the same amount and go side by side.
But well, that's also the way people do it. I can't tell you that's right. Best to do a lot of things and establish your own way and go. Why didn't you say anything, leaving it to Zamberly's old man to do it?
"I'm paying for cluttered branches."
In the case of large families, about three trees must be cut on the moon, but in the case of a family of three, one tree must be cut in a month. Why, if it's true, it's enough to come once a month.
But they don't buy objections from the village, and they have to come regularly to manage the mountains. Branches and trees cannot be used raw, and there are limits to the storage of houses. There are circumstances, but the reason I'm here is to manage the fountain.
There are herbs and edible plants around this spring, although it is a flock of crancolos. We have to get rid of clutter branches, dead leaves that accumulate in the fountain, and so on so that they can bear fruit.
"What's all this blooming about? Yeah? Could this be a strawberry leaf?
"Ho. You know very well. Lord Sage, you're an elf."
I forgot it was too white.
"Why is the strawberry here? Strawberries grow more north. Besides, it's something the Obrondo clan keeps secret."
"That's Lord Sage. I know him well."
I know it's a secret, so Lord Sage is in charge.
"Duh, why is this here?
"Well, I know the Obrondo family. Neither can the elves be completed in that area alone. You're gonna need a lot to live."
Even long-lived, conservative elves can't live without eating them, and there's no way they can bribe everything in that area. Even in the woods there are years of inactivity, and sometimes there are more demons. Such a natural dish happened to last in a row, and even a mountain fire broke out.
To live, I was compelled to go outside. So, I met Ole, who was riding away in Luck, and somehow began to interact.
I couldn't make it, so the Oblondo family came here and asked me to modify the fountain for them.
"... it's a mess..."
"That's why the Oblondo family survived, and I got the fountain. Just the ideal coexistence and co-prosperity. Apprentice the world."
"... am I the only one who thinks something is different...?
"It's the interpretation of each person. If you're not convinced, you have to be convinced."
Pay off the miscellaneous branches and cover the dead leaves that accumulate in the fountain. Not to say I haven't been here in a long time, I've been taking care of it from day to day, laying boundaries to prevent pests from entering. It was over in less than half an hour.
"Fast, but ready for lunch?"
Well. Worried about what I was going to do today, uh, Avara got into my sight.
Avara is similar to the grapevine, and the flavour is similar to that of mountain vegetables as a fudge. The time has passed a bit, but the slow-growing one will be fine.
Find and collect about five centimeters. More than that, it's bitter.
"Can you do this?"
I could only gather enough to hold it in one hand, but some are like ruha or udo similar to large leaves. That's all I need. All you have to do is get it out of the storage bag.
"What are you doing?
"Lunch preparation. Well, look at that."
One of the pleasures of coming here is eating mountain vegetable tempura.
Well, it's in a storage bag, but eating picked meat on the spot is also a flavor of tempura. It means you can taste the atmosphere.
Soybean oil was poured into a pot created by earthmagic, and firewood collected a few months ago was put on fire by magic.
Make clothes by serving a special tempura powder of sapphire while heating. Is this what it is?
Add the clothes on the vegetable chopsticks to the bean oil to see the temperature. Are we almost there?
"Zamberly's old man. It's a little early, but let's have lunch."
"Whoa!"
By the time Zamberly's old man arrived, he felt hot.
Fry from Avara first. It feels good!
"Ho. Try it."
Let's start with Lady First.
I looked at Abara wonderfully on the plate I gave her, but she mouthed me with a nice scent.
"... delicious..."
"That's more than anything. It's also B who eats with salt."
I took the salt bottle out of the storage bag and gave it to him.
"Bae. Fry me some strawberries. I want to eat in a while."
Strawberries that are ingredients for herbs, but when tempered, they taste pretty good. I don't like you very much.
"Aye."
I'll go to the fountain, pick up some strawberry leaves and fry them.
While the two appetizers were eating, I also pinched and had a relaxing lunch.
Tempura ume!
