"I'm thirsty. Let's go get the fruit juice."
I was gurgling indoors, but got up out of bed because I was thirsty.
It would be easier if you drink the fruit juice stored in the space magic separately, but it also serves as a refreshment.
If you stay in a room with cold air, your body will become stiff, so you need to exercise properly.
I got up, I turned my neck, turned my arms, stretched and relaxed my muscles, and started walking.
Open the door and the air of moderate temperature strokes the skin.
Currently, in the house, ice created by my ice magic is put in buckets and installed here and there. That's why most places are cooler than outside.
In a moderate temperature like autumn, I descend to the first floor and enter the kitchen.
"Bartolo, I'll get some juice."
Even though I say so, there is no reply from Bartolo.
Usually, "Oh" or an appropriate reply comes, but isn't there today?
I thought so, but when I looked around, there was a pat and Bartolo in the center of the kitchen.
"... Hmm, what's next?"
Bartoro groans while staring at something on the platform.
Because of the wrinkles between the eyebrows, even the evil look is even more frightening. His face was so powerful that he thought he might be angry.
However, Bartolo is not a pointlessly angry man.
What are the thoughts that you don't even notice when I come in?
I'm worried, I'm approaching Bartolo, not a refrigerated magician,
"Bartolo, are you worried?"
"End !?"
When I approach and call out, Bartolo retreats astonished.
"What are you shaved? Would you please approach me normally without losing the sign?"
"No, I'm just getting closer to normal ..."
When it comes to kitchens, it's no good to be surprised because there are cooking utensils and kitchen knives. If you do that, you won't be able to get into the kitchen again.
"Well, how did I think about it?"
"Cooking thoughts?"
"Oh, it's about the sea fish brought back by the shavens. It was a bit of trial and error."
When I saw Bartolo, I saw a frozen skipjack bonito on a cutting board. On the table, there were dishes such as carpaccio, soy sauce and steak.
I guess that I was immediately thawing and cooking the ingredients I brought back after being frozen with ice magic.
"Oh, it's true. It's lightly cooked."
"Oh, that's because the bonito tastes better, it's less dangerous, and the shaven told me."
Yes, skipjack often has bacteria on its skin, and eating it raw can be dangerous. Lightly grilling the fire kills the bacteria, reduces moisture and improves the texture. In addition, the taste of the body is condensed, so if you eat it raw, you should make it a tataki
It is.
Did you know from the years of experience that the cooks of the Silford family knew when I was freezing bonito with ice magic, and gave me notes with notes on each fish It is. The cooks in Eric's house are really excellent and kind.
"Can I try a bit?"
"Oh, taste it."
When I ask, Bartolo puts the served tataki here and puts soy sauce in a small plate.
First, grab the served tataki with your finger, lightly soak it in soy sauce and put it in your mouth.
The large body of bonito rides on the tongue, and when you chew, the rich taste of bonito and the taste of soy sauce spread in your mouth.
Yeah, it still has a habitful taste, but the combination of this rich fat taste and the soy sauce that surrounds it is wonderful.
“Yeah, it ’s delicious.
"Oh, but I think it's easier to eat with a unique flavor or smell, so it's easier to eat with a condiment to eliminate it, but what about the Silford family residence?"
"Yeah, I used ginger, green onions, radishes, and so on. I didn't have soy sauce over there, so it felt refreshing with citrus sauce."
"Isn't it true? If so, I'm not going to use condiments to make it easier to eat."
When I answer, Bartolo says with an innocent smile.
I guess I'm glad that my intuition as a chef is right.
Baltoro, who is usually strong, always smiles like a child.
"Can I eat this steak?"
I ask Bartolo, who moves Tataki quickly.
It seems to be a bonito steak that is placed in a place other than the tataki system. This is also baked on a soy sauce base and looks very delicious.
"Oh, I don't want any condiments."
While Bartolo laughs, I stab a steak with a fork and put it in my mouth.
Unlike Tataki, a steak that is tight. However, when you push your teeth up, it collapses in your mouth and vomits a refreshing taste.
"Yeah yeah, it doesn't have any condiments, but I think the sauce is just right, so I don't think it bothers me."
The bonito flavor is unique, but the soy sauce-based sauce is a little bit sweeter, so I don't mind the odor or the smell.
"Okay. So thank you for adding the green onions and ginger more sparingly than the tataki. Thank you. It was helpful."
If you give thanks in a straight way, you can be a little shy I just tasted a little.
"Oh, that's not good. You have to make a lunch for Miss Soon."
When I'm a little shy, I start cleaning up as if Bartolo remembered.
Speaking of which, Elinora unnie was going to the vigilante today. It will be noon soon, so it may be necessary to make a lunch box in a hurry.
"What do you want for today's lunch?"
"... I wasn't crazy about bonito."
"What if I just eat steak and rice?"
A skipjack steak goes well with rice. Isn't that enough for lunch?
"No, it's just a pity. It's a girl's lunch."
Oh, I see. There is Elinora-Sister = Emma-Sister and Sheila, and there are a few girls who recently joined the vigilante. I guess it wouldn't work for a proper lunch box like a man would make. Bartolo is also hard.
However, it's time-consuming to make good-looking dishes right now. There is a need to offer delicious and unusual dishes here with little effort.
"Well, how about grilled bonito onigiri? Although it doesn't look gorgeous, it's easy to make and use precious sea fish here."
"Oh, what kind of dish?"
When I make a proposal, Bartolo is approaching with interest and I will explain it.
Grilled bonito rice balls are finely chopped seaweeds, licked, mixed with rice, and baked. It must have been called fisherman cuisine in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.
"I see, it's like bonito rice mixed with grilled rice. It looks delicious, but that's not all ..."
Bartolo hears part of my explanation and groans with his arms crossed.
"Huffy, Bartolo. That's not all."
"What?"
"Even if you just eat the bonito onigiri as it is, it's delicious if you just eat it with cold dashi in this hot season.
Speaking slowly on purpose, as I imagined, Bartolo throbbed and wondered if he imagined such a sight
You.
"Well, well, we have prepared rice and try to make it."
I did it. I really want to eat it for lunch, but in the current season when I lose my appetite due to the heat, it is easy and good for Elinora unnie.
It's definitely different when it's called a girls' lunch, but ...
