The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

3 Days Later Evening

Most villagers gather in the village square, where they are set on fire, in large pots, and at tables, and on top of them are narrow places and different dishes.

As I heard on the boat the other day, it seems that the yad rats blockaded the river leading downstream with a nest, and until yesterday, the Mad Salamander herd dramatically reduced its number. At the same time, neighbouring villages and fishermen, including Sikum, have been notified by fishing unions of the end of the fishing season.

And this morning, with the prey caught in the last fishing of the year and the food bought from the city, festivals are now being prepared in the village square to celebrate the successful completion of the fishing season. Or just before it almost ended and started, something like that.

And then - whoa, rumors seem to have come.

"The lord is here!

A villager man who has rushed into the square announces the Lord's visit.

Then the great men of the village gather together, headed by the village chief, to pick them up.

I'll mix it in gently at the rear of the line and head to the beach.

We arrived on the beach at about the same time the lord landed on the beach.

"Welcome aboard,"

"Oh, Lord Village Chief. Welcome, thank you."

The lords who greeted the village chiefs, went on to me.

"Mr. Lyoma. Thanks for inviting me. Looking forward to today"

"Welcome and thank you for asking me what I can't do"

The other day, after the spa cleaning.

With regard to the Lord's other request for "I want the specialty dishes of the territory”, it is not stipulated precisely, when and in what way to propose, because hot spring cleaning was a priority on the day requested.

I remember that, this time of day. I asked you to come to the end of the fishing festival in the village of Sikum because I would actually serve the dishes I made.

Of course I was thinking about the possibility of being turned down, but the lord was happy with it.

That's why we're in this situation right now.

The lord's companion of the day is Mr. Pigu to the two dragonneuts of the escort. Yet another, a man of the pig race. When he is the Count's chef, he is introduced on the road to the square.

And as soon as we get back to the square, the end of the fishing festival begins.

The village festival is not strictly set to begin, but seems to begin appropriately if it is decided that it is ready and that the participants have gathered.

This time, only the shape. The village chief and the lord had also greeted him, but he had finished very briefly.

After that, a corner of the square.

A line of lords will guide you to a special seat set up next to the statue of God I prayed for before.

Next door, I set up a bespoke set of cooking magic tools.

Then the first person to react was the chef's man.

"Ooh... this is a large and highly functional cooking magic tool to the extent that it is portable. You can put a large jar on the iron plate and four pans too. Excellent."

"An acquaintance had a skilled craftsman, and he made it to order. Sometimes you camp as an adventurer, but if possible, you want something delicious well cooked. Fortunately, I can use space magic, so I have no problems carrying or using it, even if it's somewhat large."

"Buffoo, you seem like a pretty good eater, too. I'm going to see quite a few different adventurers as well, but I've never seen an adventurer carry anything like this bespoke. Besides, if you look closely, the seal engraved on that magic tool, doesn't it belong to the Dinorm Workshop, which has recently given its name?

Oops, looks like the lord knew DiNorm Workshop.

"I'm afraid for your wise eyes. As I said, it's from the Dinorm Workshop."

"If you're not familiar with noble things, epidemics. You won't be able to get into a conversation between nobles."

You know what I mean? Sent me a bitter laugh like that. It still seems difficult to be a nobleman.

"Now, I personally think that the dish I'm going to suggest today is freshly made, and especially freshly baked, so I'm going to cook here. We are ready to prepare it right away as we are done… for today's festival there are many other dishes available so please wait while you eat if you would like"

"I'm looking forward to that. What kind of food do you have?

"The recommendation is" Oden, "right? The village that accompanied me to the prototype said that it" felt like I had lavished my usual soup ”. The utensils were processed with fish, tofu, vegetables and root vegetables, and when eaten with the ringed down horas, they were popular for their close proximity to the soups that are routinely eaten around here and their familiar flavors.

We were lucky enough to have the help of other people making delicious tofu, so “Deep-fried Tofu Hamburger" and “Inari Sushi" were added to “Deep-fried Tofu" - "

"Sushi or sushi?

"Ah, yes. Inari sushi, right?"

? Of Dragoneworth, who felt that only one of me was not involved... is it true, Lord Yoshimaru? is turning a strong gaze. Do you like sushi? The lord told me if I thought so.

"Lord Yoshimimaru is part of his training and has a lot to do with his diet. So usually he only eats what he decides to eat."

"I see."

If it's religious, I can't help it. But should I have listened to the food taboo not only for lords but also for escorts? If you think

"There's just an exception to everything. One of those exceptions should have been sushi.

"Uhm.“ Sushi. "“ Tempura. "“ Sukiyaki. ”

In the explanations that followed, I came a little, gawky inside.

An exceptional meal is like the Japanese image of a foreigner a long time ago… So before, when I was not long out of the city of Gimru, I remembered what I had heard when I met Mr. Asagi.

That's how you can be inside DragonNewt, metastasizer of the past. That sounded like a foreigner who subtly mistook Japan and Samurai culture, too. Because of that?

"Well, I'm glad we have something to eat. By the way, we have sukiyaki, and we have oil, so tempura can be prepared. It may not be exactly the same, how about it?

"Oh, my God! So, the awkward is Inari sushi? and sukiyaki, let's get tempura"

"Yes, I did. Other dishes include" chicken ”and“ cooked rice "made with rice.“ Deep-fried lotus root scissors "in“ kimpira burdock ”made with root vegetables,“ Shinko from "."

"We need all kinds, one at a time."

"Yes, I did. Bye."

Ask the village chief for a concise order from the lord and have it ready.

In the meantime, I'll have what I prepared in soup, or steamed, baked, fried...

"Hmm. Are fish rinds or crushed tofu molded intact, or mixed with vegetables, etc., and fried in oil? You'll never get tired of this variety of equipment."

"This deep-fried tofu dish also has a good taste of stock stained on your clothes and a gentle taste."

"This fried scissors is also delicious. I don't have eyes for lotus root."

"I don't see it in my hometown, so I thought it was a face monster sushi, but this Inari sushi is pretty good too"

"The cooked rice was also in the fritter. I miss this flavor somewhere..."

Hearing a voice that I find quite popular, prepare a sauce for the finish, done!

"Thank you for waiting. This is the dish that I propose from you today. It's" dumplings. "

On the prepared table. The dishes that were supposed to have been lined up until earlier had almost been eaten, so I clean up the empty plates and arrange the plates ready to be made.

"Hmm. You wrapped something in a dough that worked out wheat and baked it. Some of them seem to be in soup, fried or steamed, but are they fundamentally the same?"

"As you said, we call them water dumplings, baked dumplings, fried dumplings and steamed dumplings, respectively, by the cooking method. I have a parent and child from Zilmar in the store I run, but they seem to have this dish there too."

"Well, with Zilmar food. Let's get one first."

"We have 8 different sauces here for you to choose from"

The lords carry dumplings in their mouths at the same time.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh... umm! Hot but delicious!

"That's true. This roasted dumpling and meat fat comes out of it when you chew it."

"Water dumplings taste sweet with soup."

"Deep-fried dumplings have a good texture and don't freak out."

Each one of you eats compared to the other and is well received. But the look on the Lord's face seems a little unfortunate.

... Naturally I guess. Because I made very regular dumplings.

"It does taste good. But"

"It's not going to be the land's fame as it is, is it?

"Mm-hmm. This dumpling, it's filled with pork and vegetables, and the skin that wraps it up is wheat. Steamed dumpling skins seem to use rice flour... unfortunately most of them are not from this territory. I guess the city store bought it from somewhere else. Nowadays, other products are distributed to some extent.

... That's why I only made it with ingredients purchased from elsewhere, which is weak to say specialty dishes from the land. And you seem to understand it well enough. So you want me to tell you to make this dumpling with ingredients from this land?

Whoa, I was expecting what I was trying to say first.

"I'm afraid for your wise eyes. As I said, what I'm going to make is only a" suggestion, "and this dish has been made as one of the" specimens ”for that. As an example of this easy and diverse (...) cuisine"

"Diversity, when you say?

"First of all, this dumpling, as the lord also said earlier, is wrapped in flour-coated skin with the contents we call filling. This time the contents are pork and vegetables, but you can change that percentage or use another ingredient again.

Likewise, the skin is fine if it is a grain powder. In fact, this time steamed dumplings and water dumpling skins are made from rice flour. I have chosen this for my personal preference, but that there are at least two options for flour and rice flour for the skin.

In addition, there are four ways to cook dumplings wrapped in skin: boil, bake, steam and fry. Eight sauces to put on and eat at the end, even if we just prepared them this time. The formula in the contents is not crispy considering, so I'll leave it...... Still, there are 64 combinations you can taste with skins, cooking methods, and sauce. Of course you have the option of not putting on sauce, and if you add a change in the contents here "

"Ugh... that's very intriguing. There's going to be an infinite change in taste."

"I thought so too, and today I have prepared one end of it for the villagers"

"What?"

Turning to the village chief, he walked up to me next to me, feeling like he was ready or something.

"Lord. We have dumplings made by the villagers listening to him. I don't know if it suits your mouth, but could you try one…"

"Thank you, I will definitely have it"

And one after the other, the villagers' original dumplings are brought in.

The first is my grandmother. Supported by his grandson, he was worshipping his lord.

"Hmm. Is this water dumpling with horas soup? And very soft, warm."

"Thank you. My husband and I are both at this age, so the hard ones have teeth... and I thought the soup tasted the best I was used to."

The second is a fisherman's man. She's in good shape, but she's terribly freaked out.

"Oh, me, I don't usually cook a lot. So maybe it's not a dish that I can serve to my lord..."

"Ha. Sure, it's somewhat inappropriate, but it doesn't taste bad. This grilled dumpling."

"Oh, thank you Easy! My daughter-in-law is heavy, so I thought I'd make something as refined as possible!

The third is a woman of perfect width. He seems confident in cooking and is the most prestigious.

"Ooh! This is delicious! Numa shrimp prickly body. Finely chopped husk roots. Very good tooth."

Lord to taste the dumplings he carried with him four or five more. Eventually, he began to worry.

"Uhm...... they were all delicious. I also understood that there was diversity. But that's all I get lost in."

"Lord. I don't think I have to narrow it down to one flavor."

"What do you mean?

"What about having dumplings made, for each village and region of Fatma territory, with ingredients eaten by people living on that land? Even if I say" Fatma territory ”in a nutshell, I think some places can benefit from the lake, like here in Sikum, while others don't.

They say meat is precious around here instead of fish from the lake being caught, but some areas say that flour is easier to obtain for meat and vegetables, even in Fatma territory, on the outside, in areas and villages adjacent to other territories?

"Mm-hmm. Surely there are some lands and villages like that. Exactly what makes the difference in diet. Come to think of it, some areas might serve the dumplings of meat you made earlier...... I see. If you make it everywhere, you can enjoy the“ difference in taste ”that comes out from region to region. If merchants and aristocrats passing through the territory are interested, it could also lead to revitalization of the region"

There are some real examples of famous Utsunomiya and Hamamatsu in Japan, and I don't really hear people dislike dumplings. If we can compete successfully, we can help revitalize the region. I think I have enough potential.

And then there was a deserted building by the way on the streets of this territory, which was open as accommodation for travellers. If you ask me about it,

"That was built when my father was building his way, a worker's lodging. It took a lot of work to demolish the road after it was finished. My territory rains a lot, and I'm open to it if it helps travellers anyway... what's wrong with that?

There will be a lot of problems with the manpower of management, etc., but what I personally thought was that if there was such a building, it would be a shame to let it play. So why don't you do something like "parking area” or “drive-through” in your last life?

"Hmmm...... considering spreading it as a specialty, we need a lot of people to know and actually eat it anyway. There's no way you won't eat at all on a hurry trip, and even if you finish your meal on the carriage, there should be a difference in satisfaction between grabbing dried meat and eating freshly baked dumplings. Water dumplings seem difficult, but can you handle baking, frying and steaming depending on your ingenuity?

As for the buildings that are open in the streets, I was worried too. It doesn't look like a burglar is living there, so they send out unscheduled and bewitching people along with checking the state of the road... Do you want me to stay here?

Combined with a description of the parking area and drive-through, it seems to respond well in addition to your thoughts. Besides, listening to the lord somehow brings to mind the alternation of previous life.

"I don't think one or two of us there has the same peace of mind that there's a guard pack we can talk to when something happens."

"I think so, too. Besides, dumplings don't seem to be that difficult to cook. There was a man earlier who said" I don't usually cook ”, but I think it would be relatively easy to spread it to other villages if even such men could teach me a little bit about the dishes that can be shaped to some extent"

"Yes, plus I think there are a lot of ingredients in Fatma's territory that we're losing in appearance."

For example, there are crabs, octopuses, and other creatures of squid or catfish descent.

Octopus and the like were also called devilfish on the planet, and there seemed to be regions and histories where it could not be considered edible in foreign countries, and that in itself would be fine to mean “food culture” in that country, that area... eating that kind of thing that doesn't look good, because it is also a food culture.

"Ingredients that are hesitant to eat. If the cause is apparent, I think if you can't see it, the resistance will fade."

"Because dumplings wrap crushed things in more skin. If you make one bite bigger, you don't have any appearance issues,... hehe, hehe! Huh!?

The lord suddenly started laughing in the middle of the conversation, his nose ringing again.

That gathers the eyes of all the villagers here.

In that, he goes on without looking like he cared.

"No, it's funny. And I've thought about it a lot. Many cooks and bragging ladies have sent recipes so far, but this is the first time you've even thought about how to sell your dishes. Well, I'm only looking for recipes for the dishes, so naturally.

But even though I asked you from me, I didn't expect you to think about all this at that age and come up with an answer so far. You may be ashamed of yourself, but the boulder is a "barley tea sage." No, now you're "The Wise Man of Wheat Tea and Dumplings”?

They kind of made me want to eat it in the summer combined! But his expression is serious,

"There are a lot of conveniences and preparations here, too. I can't make an immediate decision, but your suggestion is serious, worthy of consideration. It was a really convincing answer. Thanks."

"It's a waste of time. Besides, I was able to make this proposal this time because there was something about the hot spring the other day. Without that, I would have even served pot dishes with fish and tofu around here."

"Hmm? That bothers me about the flavor... but you did talk a lot that day. Can you let me know what you thought, if you don't mind?

For a reason, it would be that handwritten map, after all, which was not the only minimum required in that hot spring cabin.

Actually, I can tell if you write it, but maps are out, hard to try to draw. Of course I can still tell if you draw easily around your own house or where you often go, but the whole territory...... and how can you not draw without knowing all about the land, including its main roads and terrain. At least I can't do it.

And knowing your territory well, even as a lord, is there any reason why it might be so important to paint and decorate the private spaces you made on the mountains?

Plus I found out because the map was detailed, but that mountain is apparently one of the few in Fatma territory, and it is also the highest mountain. In other words, probably where the summit of that mountain is the highest, widest and farthest view of the territory in this territory.

I'm talking about letting you purposefully build a grave in such a place, and how much you cared about this territory and the people you live in.

Also, on the map, what a small part of the whole road I've come through. That should be it, too. I haven't even stopped by because I've been aiming for Sikum from the outside in a straight line for the Mad Salamander crusade. Even when I saw and talked to Mr. Pigu about the map, he told me that there were other hot springs in that mountain for the first time.

I had a good life in the village of Sikum, but there will still be charm in this territory that I do not know.

"If you were thinking about that, your perspective would gradually change."

I lack the knowledge to cook specialty dishes in this territory.

Then you can have someone knowledgeable make it.

What is the reason and purpose of cooking specialty dishes… etc.

"That's how I thought about it, and eventually I got to the dumplings. Instead, I concentrated too much on my thoughts, which annoyed my lords and the villagers."

What do you mean, "?

"It was when I was in that hot spring that I was thinking about, and before I left, I did the lord a favor, didn't I?

"Oh, the promise to come here today?... No way in the village?

"Yes, it was a complete ex-post consent"

I'm so sorry about that. I, an outsider (...), have decided to take part in the village event! In their position, you wouldn't even be able to tell your lord not to come.

Moreover, for the presentation of the dumplings further, he asks the villagers to make the dumplings as well. As much as I hate to say it myself, it's not thick enough. I'm so sorry, I couldn't just fit in with my feelings, and I helped out a lot... that surprised me a little bit though.

"Do you lose sight of yourself when you concentrate, you"

"Yes, it helped because everyone in the village was happy to accept"

My gaze turns to nature and the village chief, and I lose my head naturally.

"At first I was surprised, but what an honor it is for the lord to come to the festival. Besides, we, especially the elderly like me, owe a great debt to our predecessors, so it would have been nice to have helped.

Besides, you donate expensive cow meat for the festival, you managed to use some junction magic in this square to keep it from getting cold, and we're all thrilled. Nobody gets angry. Let's enjoy the festival together.

Lords, please enjoy your meals as there are still plenty of them. "

Really, thank you......

"Whatever it is, it looks good that it fits round. By the way, I've been looking at this one for a while now, and I was wondering if Lyoma could help you?

"What?"

When I saw who the lord told me, Niki, you were there.

Probably because of the sudden gathering of gaze. I'm in a panic.

You don't seem to know what to do, so I decided to invite you and call you.

"Lord. This is a child I've been friends with recently, and he's been helping me prepare until today."

"Well, well. What's your first name?

"Yes! It's Niki!

"Right, right, Niki, that's you. Thanks for your help. Thanks to you I had a lot of delicious food."

"Oh, really? Hehe."

I'm uncommonly nervous, but still look happy.

And, if you're alarmed,

"I still have some delicious stuff! Right! Brother."

"Huh?"

"Oh, you still got something?

Niki, what are you talking about? The dishes I made today are no longer...

"Look! It's me, it's me! Brother, you said experiment and you prepared a lot! Use the evolved slime again!

"What do you mean,“ ash-dried ”?

In fact, in the last three days, there has been one newly evolved slime.

That was a long time ago, I found it in a charcoal-baked kettle in my house, ash-eating slime. Its slime, which had never stood out and continued to eat ash relaxed every day, evolved into an ash slime as expected as a result of eating large amounts of ash in the waste (ash in the enclosure recovered from the village house) treatment here. That name and skill...

“Ash Slime."

Skill Scattering Lv3 Aggregation Lv3 Hygroscopic Lv5 Drying Lv5 Disinfection Lv3 Digestion Lv1 Absorption Lv2 Division Lv2

Ash slime is unprecedented, slime like a pile of ash in Sarah Sarah that doesn't feel moisture, scattering, agglomerating, moisture wicking, drying and disinfecting is probably its physique? by. Ashes (body) dance every time a moving or slightly stronger wind swells, but the ashes that dance eventually gather on their own.

Like yet other slimes, I don't drink water. Strictly speaking, I drink, but it seems to have significantly less moisture required, enough air and moisture on the ground. On the contrary, he doesn't like too much water.

Excessive moisture, however, seems to be handled with drying skills, so if you don't deliberately keep watering or throwing it into the water, you'll be fine. Instead, if my hygroscopic skills allow me to suck moisture in the air, I wonder if it would work instead of a dehumidifier.

I came up with an earlier dehumidifier and another one as a way to use such a slime. That's what you call "ash-dried” Niki.

I forgot when it was in my previous life, but I remember a colleague from the company bringing a "ash dried” made from volcanic ash for a business souvenir and tried it.

Ash slime was eating ash from trees like firewood and charcoal. It's not volcanic ash, and it's what I tried to make as an experiment in the first place. There is no guarantee of flavour.

But a lord who doesn't even try to hide what's already intriguing is sending his gaze.

I have no choice,

"There's no taste coverage, though."

"Huh? Same goes for dried ash, brother. You said it was delicious.“ eel, "“ cassava, "and“ fugue. "

"I was watching you. Brother, I was using Bloody Slime to sneak apart the parasite-free guy from the miscellaneous fish I pulled together for slime bait from the processing plant. Isn't that for today?

"When did you see it!?

Three species have not been eaten here because they are “poisonous”.

Actually, I'm really wondering if I can count on the appraisal and poison slime.

I was experimenting secretly with whether I could eat it safely if I could.

I was going to sneak up on a gap nobody saw.

"Hehe! Seems like I was splitting it so you wouldn't find out, but if you're a jerk, I'm good at it too!

"Made with flirtatious......"

and explain here to the lords who are unaware of the circumstances,

"Still interested?

"Whatever. Fish supposedly poisonous and unsuitable for consumption and discarded. That if that actually makes it tasty, it means more food. It would also be easier to make room for the lives of the inhabitants. As a lord, I want to talk to you seriously. I'd actually like to try it if it's possible."

"We care too..."

Not only the lord, but even the village chief, said he was interested. And the necessary ingredients and seasonings were purchased in large quantities in the city. Sometimes we accept Dragonut technicians, or there are plenty of Japanese seasonings such as miso and soy sauce.

There's no reason to say no to this.

"Yes, I did. Check with an appraisal to make sure you don't just poison them."

"Mm-hmm. I know it's a test product. You can let me out without worrying too much."

Remove the material from the dimension home,

"Let me help you, too, if you like."

With the help of the namesake chef, work begins.

Then, they provide "seared sea turtles (fish) with ash dried", “tempura with cassava", “white grilled sea urchins & sea urchin dandelion", “sashimi with fugue", “chili (fugu pan)" and “fugu hinge liquor”.

Results……

"I buried it in the ashes and wondered what would happen. Can you give me another one?

"This is delicious and awesome!

"Uhm...... the clothes are sakuri, the body inside is plump and really delicious. It's a waste not to eat this. Let's ask for another tail, vegetable tempura and something else, an assortment."

"Yummy! I don't care about bones, and I don't smell muddy! How the hell did you do that?"

"Piggu, if this sauce is painted, it's even better. Besides, this tiny elegance, the good liquor with broiled fins... we repel poison. Did we overlook something so delicious..."

Well-treated, and cooked eels, cassava, and fugue were also accepted.

That's good, though.

"There is no more ash-drying! The platter of tempura is fried! Eh, the eel stays in clean water for three days before cooking and lets the mud out of his body. And it was hard on top of a lot of bone, so I added a" bone cut ”process to it when I waxed it."

"Mr. Lyoma, I'll explain later! Next dish!

"Copy that, that's right! That's all! The fugue is delicious, but it's not wrong to need attention to poison!

"It's okay, I'll never forget it there."

Hear the lord's reply and focus on cooking again. Because,

"Hey, can we get a taste of dried ash, too?

"One fugusasha, please!

"This is tempura!

"Do you still have white roast and dandelion?!?

Because the smell has been coming from the cooking, especially the smell of the dandelion of the eel-like one, and the whole village has gathered together!

Sometimes lords have declared disrespectful, and the perimeter of cooking magic tools is no longer turned into a matrix of popular stalls...

"Ha ha!! I don't want this guy!

"Always eating our nets! We'll eat you from next year!

"We don't have enough booze!

"Bring me anything -!

Damn, the ingredients are running out...

"Ah, the fugue is over! Cassava's next and last!

"How about an eel!?

I still have eels but at this pace......! Perhaps a single eyelid would divide it into a few more masses?

Yes, we still have the meat dumplings, so let's get them out! Because of this, I also made fried rice with extra rice to match...

Among the things I bought in the city, there must have been a chappaya of preserved food. Soak it in deodorant liquid from Deodorant Slime for a while, then wash it and cook it in sesame oil for a knob!

Not enough booze? Fruit liquor I tried soaking fruit in drank slime alcohol, I can offer this if you want! Can you make a cocktail too!?

"Hey, I have some extra ingredients over there, would you like to use them?

"Thank you!

How dare Mr. May bring me extra ingredients! Now we can still fight!!

Is it because of the festive atmosphere?

To all the villagers who come one after the other, in a tense that has gone a little crazy. But it was strangely fun.

Cook and serve whatever you can. Thus the night of the festival sprinkled...
