Tensei Shite Inaka de Slowlife wo Okuritai
Overnight stay in the village of Poda
After a break, I reached the village of Poda in the evening.
The snow remained a little slower than I expected, but it was within the margin of error.
The itinerary will generally be as expected.
The village chief and his wife were surprised by the sudden arrival of their lord, Nord's father, but they arranged for a home where they could rest as quickly as before.
Rowe seems to have a friend in the village and will stay there.
I break up with Rowe and head to the house that the village chief arranged for me.
The house we're staying in is a one-story building where ordinary civilians live.
The floor is carpeted with ethnic-style furniture, including chairs, tables, and sofas.
The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking utensils, condiments, and more.
They usually invite travelers and arrange for us to come anytime. I felt the kindness of the people in the village of Poda.
It's customary to look for slippers, but this isn't a mansion, so it doesn't exist.
"It's been a long time since you went up to the house with your shoes on." Even though it was normal before, I feel a bit uncomfortable. "
"In the Mansion, I live with the slippers that Al made for me." You've completely gotten used to it. "
It seems that I'm not the only one who searched for slippers.
Mother Elna and father Nord looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
I always wear slippers in the Mansion, but it's normal to wear shoes in the shoes outside. If you go out for a long time, you will forget it.
When I walked up to the front door, Meena and Sarah retrieved our jackets and quickly put them on the hangers.
Make hot water with magic, wash your hands, and take a breath on the sofa.
"Huh..."
It's not a mansion, but when you come into the house, it makes you feel good.
The sofa is a little stiff and I'm worried about the squeaky sound of leather, but it's not as good as the finest sofa in the Mansion.
Al, can I have a magic fire?
Nord's dad asked me to sit still.
The room has a fireplace and a bundle of firewood. However, firewood is a valuable resource from the village. Nordpapa probably doesn't want to consume as much as he can.
Fine.
I have no objection to that opinion either. I was in so much trouble with my magic.
I activate fire magic to create a fireball in the fireplace. The house was illuminated by a warm light.
There was no firewood in the fireplace, and it was a little strange to see a fireball floating from the ground.
"Thank you."
Even though I'm a lord, I don't behave arrogantly, and I can be considerate to the villagers, so I think Nordpapa's popularity is high.
As I drank Sarah's brewed tea, the sun quickly dimmed.
The light of the fireball made me uncomfortable, but Mina installed a magic lamp in the living room.
Sarah and Mina flickered their gaze. Understanding what they were looking for, I got up slowly from the sofa.
"Let's prepare dinner before dark."
Yes!
I was supposed to leave it to Bartolo, the chef, but he's staying at the Mansion.
Sarah can cook quite well, so I can leave it to you, but I'd better help her with the magic because it's a policy to cook without using firewood.
That's why Sarah and I decided to go to the kitchen and start cooking with Mina.
While preparing the cooking tools, Meena placed a wooden box on the cooking table and opened the lid.
It contains carrots, pumpkins, radishes, spring onions, mushrooms, etc.
What do you want me to make?
Let's make it snowflake consommé soup.
Got it.
Consommé soup is a dish that has been made several times in the Mansion. It's not that hard.
Ignite the fire with magic, so that I can use it.
Place a pot filled with water on top of it to make hot water.
In the meantime, cut the ingredients such as carrots, radishes, spring onions and mushrooms to make it easier to eat.
Thanks to the snow harvested, it has a cooling effect, but it is not as perfect as a refrigerator. It'll hurt in a few days, so you don't have to freak out.
There are still preserved foods like dried vegetables, dried fruits, and dried meat in the carriage, and you can buy ingredients in the village.
Let's make and eat the usual delicacies.
Somehow it's guilty of not helping just us.
"I see. Shall we help you?"
Unlike the Mansion, the kitchen is not isolated, and the living room and kitchen are adjacent.
You may feel uncomfortable cooking in front of you while you relax.
"I'm happy to hear that, but unlike the Mansion, the kitchen is not very spacious..."
It's not bad for everyone to cook outside, like in Silford territory, but it's inconvenient to cook in a limited space.
“Okay, we'll clean up after you.”
My master, Nordic father, doesn't need help, but he might be restless if he doesn't do something. This seems to be the case with the Throwlet family.
When the three of them split up, the vegetable cut that served as the ingredient for the soup was immediately finished.
By that time, the water in the pot was also boiling.
Now, to make consommé from scratch... I won't do anything. If you do such a thing, it will take a long time.
I brought a consommé cube to solve such a problem.
The dried vegetables, etc. are crushed, seasoned and compacted.
Simply put this in the boiling water and simmer with the cut vegetables to make a soup.
I asked Bartolo to make it so that I could drink consommé soup anytime outside.
That said, it's not enough punch.
I used the snowmobile I took down during the day to make up for it.
I thought about using Momo meat alone, but the meat is not that big, so let's use it all.
Cut into easy-to-eat pieces and fry lightly in a pan.
When the surface turns slightly brown, turn off the fire and pour it into the consommé soup.
This should stain meaty stock.
After that, while removing the ash, add salt and pepper, season and simmer.
Sarah made salads by chopping radishes and cabbage, and Meena roasted the black bread she had brought with her in a fireball in the fireplace.
There is no magic stove, and there is not a lot of space for cooking. Compared to the Mansion, it was different from the clouds, but it was also fun to cook together in a different environment.
After a while, the consommé soup was completely simmered.
I tried it and tasted it, but it looked pretty good. As expected, it was a consommé cube with a Bartolo formulation.
The table in the living room was already lined with dishes.
Salads made by Sarah and black bread made by Mina are also cut into pieces.
He carried a large pot with a psychic and placed it on a table with a pot-laying.
Yes, the snowflake consommé soup is ready.
With the main consommé soup on the list, dinner was ready.
"Oh, it looks so delicious."
"Yeah, it smells good."
It has a whole snowflake in it, so it has enough impact to look good.
As I sat in the chair, Sarah poured the consommé soup into a tea bowl and served it to me.
"Sarah and Meena should eat together too." It's delicious when it's warm. "
Thank you very much.
Sarah smiled at her mother's words and Meena smiled happily.
I didn't have enough chairs, but I could make them with Earth Magic.
When Meena and Sarah are ready, a gentle toast is made.
Yeah, the snowflake meat is very soft.
"Yes, it's very delicious."
Nord's father and Elna were eating consommé soup quickly, and their eyes narrowed and they tasted satisfied.
When I scooped up with a spoon to eat the consommé soup, I got a crunchy piece of snowflake meat on it.
My cheeks are stiff.
The meat of slowly simmered snowflakes is very soft.
The fat is well stored and tastes like chicken.
The gravy and the taste of the consommé go together and are very delicious.
It's stuffed with vegetable flavors, isn't it?
"It's delicious ~"
Sarah moved the key gracefully, and Meena put her hand on her cheek and looked really happy.
After all, these hot soup dishes are delicious during the cold season.
It tastes many times better than usual.
Take the winter vegetable salad made by the chopsticks sarah.
It's dressed with olive oil and salt, and you can continue eating it while feeling the natural sweetness of vegetables.
I think winter vegetables are delicious, but winter vegetables are packed with sweetness and are very delicious.
When the salad is crispy in your mouth, you eat the black bread Mina grilled for you by dipping it in the consommé soup.
The surface is crisp, and the center part is soaked in soup and softened.
It is a little hard bread to eat as it is, but it is easy to eat if you soak it in soup like this.
Also, the consommé soup is stained, so it is very delicious.
Everyone laughed and continued eating, and the dinner was over in no time.
“I'm so happy to be able to eat such delicious food while I'm traveling.”
Usually, it's a more lonely meal, but it would be helpful to have Al who is good at cooking.
"Because of this kind of trip, we have to enjoy the meal."
I don't know about general travel meals, but I don't want to skip them because they are more inconvenient than usual.
A calm life is supported by a good meal.
Now, when dinner is over, all you have to do is take a bath and go to sleep.
However, this house does not have a bathroom, so I need to prepare it for you.
He wears a jacket and goes outside, and goes around the back of the house to make a hut with earth magic.
The bathing area and the strip room were all good, so it was very easy to make and it was ready to use.
When I poured the magic water into the hot tub, the white steam was already floating.
A lighted light ball can be placed on the ceiling, and the tarai or bath chair can be made with earth magic to complete the bathroom.
But I'm not happy here.
It's a long way to the bathhouse to get a hundred million dollars in a winter bath.
When it's cold in the hallway or the cloakroom, I feel depressed. A lot of ladies and gentlemen give up their baths when they're broken by that harsh journey. We need to take action to prevent that from happening.
Let's pull down the hallway and connect it to the cabin.
I don't like the cold feeling of leaving home and moving to the cabin. Then you can connect them directly to the aisle and enclose them.
Even if it was windproof, it didn't mean it was cold in the aisle, so let's keep the fireball afloat.
"Now it's not cold in the aisle."
On top of the brightness, the passage is also warm. If this is the case, I won't feel cold when I travel to the bathing area, and I won't feel cold.
Satisfied with the way the aisle is working, I return to my house.
"Huh!? Was there a strange passageway outside?!"
Back in the doorway, Meena looked back and looked at the aisle behind her and shouted with surprise.
"Yeah, I made a bath outside, so that's the aisle."
I know you made a bath with magic, but what's the aisle for?
"Huh? I don't like the cold to move around." It's going to get cold in the hot water
"...... Alfredo's winter trip will be pleasant."
When she heard my reply, Meena muttered as if she was dumbfounded.
