Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

020 Make a Preserved Food (2)

Move the place, next to the well of the inn.

There was a simple jar and pan set up there.

Of course, I have permission from Inn's father, so there is no problem.

"Well, we don't have much time, and we're in a hurry."

Thanks to the time taken to salt the meat, we didn't have much room until the sun went down.

It is common sense that even in time when the original world can still work, work will be done when the sun sets in this world.

For once, you can magically make lights and keep working, but it's Hulka who needs magic to work too, and first and foremost, it's too conspicuous.

It naturally catches the eye if you work with brilliant lights in the near dark around you, and if what you're dealing with there is an expensive fruit dindle, you can't deny the possibility that it can be a hassle either.

"I'll boil some water first. This is Nao, please"

Copy that.

"In the meantime we'll take the dindle heck out of it and wash it"

When I say boiling water, it's easier for me to light firewood now, and I can only do it to the extent.

Keep using 'ignition' from your fingertips instead of firewood, for Christ's sake, I'll fall before it turns into water.

So when the fire stabilizes, help the two of us wash the dindle, then load it up on the monkey.

Is it easy to understand that this monkey is also what I bought today, like the monkey I use when drying the plum?

However, the material is not bamboo, and objects like sushi are used.

This is an easy grass to obtain if you put it in the mountains before winter, and it seems that things like monkeys are made and wholesaled by farmers as winter handiwork.

Thanks to this, I was able to get a set of 10 quite cheaply.

About half the time I finished washing the dindle, the water started to boil.

"Halka, what are you going to do after all?

"Whatever you say, all you can do is soak it in hot water, right? Change your time and try it."

One at a time, I was to try to make seven different kinds of things: things that do nothing, things that only soak for a moment, and things that I soaked in 1 minute increments, from 1 minute to 5 minutes.

Throw the 6 dindles into the pan, pull them up in turn and line them up on the monkey.

There's no clock, so I just have to count the numbers with my senses.

"Don't make me want a watch when this happens"

"Right. It's become somewhat of a sense of time in this world..."

This world, the clock is not common, so you're all moving pretty vaguely.

For once, the bell rings five times between sunrise and sunset, so I know the approximate time, but I don't know 'The bell will ring soon', so it's difficult to say 'How many times will I meet you at the bell', etc.

So if we're going to meet up, we can't do it unless we can tolerate some ambiguity about 'After the bell rings, head to the meeting place, about the time we arrive'.

In addition, since the bell does not ring after sunset, the closing of the liquor store or the like may not be clearly decided.

Depending on your father's mood, this inn may be open until everyone returns, or you may be kicking out guests.

We try to stay away from the tavern after dinner, so as long as we hear voices coming from downstairs, so be it.

"Okay! I think there's some error, but is this okay?

7 dindles lined with monkeys.

It makes little difference in appearance.

Compared to boiled and raw products for 5 minutes on boulders, I also feel that boiled is slightly more soggy, but it would be to an extent I wouldn't notice if I didn't compare it.

"You haven't changed more than I thought, have you?

"Oh, if you mix it up, you don't know first."

"Right. Is this what it feels like to be a fruit? I've never boiled a whole fruit before..."

Right. You usually eat raw food.

I know it's about making jams with precision, but even that one would feel more like crushing and boiling than boiling.

"I'll try it anyway......" Dry "!

"" Ooh!

It's like time-lapse footage.

The moment Hulka uses magic with her hands together, it shrivels and becomes smaller as the fruit of the dindle, which was swollen round.

"- Hey, is that about it?

When I said that and put my hands down, the change stopped and the brilliantly dry dindle fruit was produced.

In the meantime, just under a minute.

Even modern science and technology is a tricky move, isn't it?

"Wow...... Something is just magic..."

"Ah. Something touches me more than Fire Arrow in a way"

... Oh?

Did Mr. Toya tell you that my most powerful magic (Fire Magic Lv.1) is at the moment?

I can't deny it!

"Huh. Can I give you a compliment? I had a lot of trouble with this."

Oh, it's a rare Halka doya face.

Maybe it was a real struggle because Hulka says he's not very proud of his efforts.

To Hulka, who is a little flustered, me and Toya clapped face-to-face and decided to praise him.

"Yo! Mr. Halka, the boulder" That's right "!

"Thanks to Mr. Hulka, we're alive!

"Should I call you Master Hulka?

"Instead, should I call you Goddess?

"Let's make an altar"

"Let's do that."

Halka looked bitter and raised her hands to us, who glorified with breath.

"- Fine. Because I just need a little compliment. Because you don't have to breathe in vain."

Well, apparently, we didn't like our praise.

Of course it is with waza.

"Oh well. Taste it."

"Right. Hang up, Halka."

"Are you... Well, fine. In 4 equal portions..."

Hulka, sighing like a coward, slices the dindle, and we taste it one slice at a time.

Hmm. You taste different than raw again.

Sweet is sweet, but it's not as snug and sweet as regular dried fruit, and it feels a bit like this and it's easy to eat.

It varies slightly depending on the boiling time, but in any case it is delicious.

Now Hulka made it easy, but if you think about hanging and drying it for days normally, you can snort expensive too.

"Well, I tried everything... which was better?

That's what Harka told me, and me and Toya answered with a little thought.

"Am I a one-minute guy? Raw ones, of course, the one I immediately raised is a bit bitter with a stiff skin"

"I have 2 minutes...... no, I feel a little less than 2 minutes better"

As this dindle, Toya, said, boiling seems to eliminate the bitterness and hardness of the skin.

The skin that is unlikely to be eaten raw also tastes better when boiled and dried fruit is combined with pulp.

Is it rather delicious because of the skin?

I likened it to you earlier, but is it exactly like the skin of a bun?

Eating it as a bun is better than just eating it. It is like that.

"A minute or two... uh-huh, it's delicious enough... well, this is a problem with the pulp also having a fire? I wonder if it's going to get cold, like a semi-ripe egg."

Halka is listening to our opinions and twisting her head as she eats her share a little bit.

Hulka said that the way to make delicious semi-ripe eggs is to take them to immediate cold water when it's time, after weighing the time exactly.

If left intact, it is because the yellow body solidifies due to excess heat.

In the same way, it seems that Hulka expects that the pulp will remain raw if cooled at the time the fire passes through the skin, and that it can taste better.

"Now try sudden cooling in 2 minutes. Nao, get some water."

Now try 2, boiling, steep cooling and drying in conjunction with Hulka's expectations, half at a time.

"- Yeah. It's better than just now. What do you two think?

"Oh. A little difference, but this one tastes better."

"To be honest, I don't really know. So leave the judgment to the two of us"

Agreed 2, abstention 1?

"Let's just make it this way today. Later, I'll have to give Diola a try and ask her which one is the commercial dindle. Even if it's different, it's delicious, so we can eat it together."

"Right. I'm going to pick it up after tomorrow."

If we're not making money, we don't have to match our own preserved foods with over-the-counter products.

Even if it doesn't sell, we're happy to have good food for the time being. It won't be in vain.

"Okay, Toya, will you make Yang Zhi" Yongjie "and mark it so that it can be distinguished, and then stick it in?

"Mm, I got it."

"I see. Then don't mix it up. You're smart, Hulka."

I thought I had to split it into separate bags.

Tomorrow, if you want to take it from here to the guild, about Yang Zhi will be enough.

"Unless it's a lunchbox with a divider, but it's not there. We're going to mass produce this."

Exactly mass production.

There's too much for one backpack.

Naturally Hulka's burden of using magic is heavy.

Even so, there's nothing we can do but take on non-magical tasks.

Eventually, that day, I would push Hulka into bed, who was exhausted and fell asleep while eating, and by using Accelerated Time, which I did everything in my power to salt the barrel, I immediately fell asleep.

One, only Toya, who doesn't use magic, has extra strength, and the next day I asked him, he was ripe for the voluntary exercises we didn't have time to do after we slept.

Reliable but what a tough thing to do.

◇ ◇ ◇

The next day's wake, well, wasn't so bad.

It is honestly helpful to use magic to the point of criticism, but if you sleep well the next day will be fine.

Yo, "More" is also a sensory object, so I don't know if it's really fully recovered.

It would be easy to understand if I could quantify it, but once I tried it on how many times I could use magic on Hulka, I said, 'Hold down the scale with 5 kilograms of force, for example. Can you do this 100 times, without any slack?' I immediately declined when asked.

To say that you can adjust the power of magic is to say that the magic you consume is also variable.

Besides, because of the problem of efficiency in the use of magic, even magic of the same power did not necessarily consume the same amount of magic.

Compared to the first, we can use a lot of magic, but we don't know if the reason for this is an increase in the amount of magic, or just an increase in the efficiency of the use of magic.

"Well, get up!

Dawn bells are already ringing, so time is always running out of bed.

When I got out of bed and got up and looked at the bed next door, rarely did Halka sleep there.

I guess yesterday's work was still quite a burden around Hulka, who always wakes up before we wake up and checks up.

I stretched out my hand to wake him up, rethinking and stopping.

I usually head to the woods right after breakfast, but today I plan to drop by the Adventurer's Guild in advance and give Mr. Diola a try.

Nevertheless, it is annoying to interrupt an early morning busy with boulders, so we have quite a bit of leeway until we leave the inn today.

Then you can still let him sleep for a while.

Check the bed on the reverse side, this one is already stuffed shell.

Is it voluntary practice, considering Toya's behavioral patterns?

Toya wasn't the type to jog early in the morning when she was over there, nor did she enthusiastically punch into the club.

But since I've been here, I've been eager to brush my sword's arms enough to find time and encourage training.

That's the same for me, but I still say, 'Do it or I'll die. Seriously,' if it is, it seems different to use force.

The only thing I can be lazy about in this situation would be a sore guy who doesn't think about it, an unsubstantiated confident person, or who thinks, 'I'm the protagonist, so it's okay'.

- I'm afraid I can't be sure my classmates don't have that.

Of course I'm not one of them, so I'm not going to spare the effort I can make.

When I took the spear, I left the room taking care not to make a sound.

Then after awhile I woke up. Ask Halka for a 'purification' I didn't get called yesterday and have a little later breakfast than usual.

After a light meal break, we headed to the Adventurer's Guild with a prototype of dry dindle.

Time slots that I don't usually visit.

There were just a few pairs of adventurers in the guild, and there was already no longer a busy way to "SECRE" them.

Mr. Diola's counter was also empty, so I'll head there as soon as I can.

"Hello, Mr. Diola."

"Oh, this time of year is unusual, folks. Good morning."

"Morning."

"Good morning. We have a prototype."

That's what I said, Mr. Diola opened her eyes in surprise.

"Already?!?"

"Tasting, can you please?

"Yes, of course! Shut up Dindle, I'll give you a bitchy rating!

Recovering from surprise, he turns around and smiles joyfully.

He's saying 'Biscuit' or something, but it feels' delighted 'to say one thing or the other.

Nevertheless, it would be appreciated if you could try it and get an evaluation.

Dry dindle, I can't get it, so there's no comparison.

So I just have to ask people who have eaten.

"Thank you. It helps."

"No. - Ha-ha-ha, that's useful."

Something's squeaking. It's nothing good.

"By the way, Mr. Diola, have you ever had enough dry dindles to appreciate? It's expensive, isn't it?

"... yeah, there's a lot going on, but on average, you do about 1,000 rare."

Oh, no, Mr. Diora's gaze is swimming, right? If you dare, give it about a butterfly momentum.

"Didn't you also say raw dindles are tough to buy?

"Dry dindles are higher than that......"

"Finally, you're not even dealing with guilds. It's processed."

Our three sights turn to Mr. Diola.

She looked desperately out of her sight and said, "She couldn't stand our gaze."

"Excuse me! I haven't eaten enough to look great! But it's true that I've eaten before, so I can compare it to that!

Ask him properly, he only actually ate dry dindles a few times, and those were people's gifts, he never bought them himself.

Does it feel like getting luxury fruit as a treat when you're hospitalized from us?

"No, it's nothing good, if you've had it"

"Yes, yes. Because we just want you to compare. Just try it."

That's what Harka put the prototype in front of Mr. Diola.

I also thought yesterday, but I don't know the difference in appearance, so I rely on the sign worn on Yang Zhi.

Randomly rearrange the order so as not to affect the evaluation.

"Eight kinds, is it?

"Yeah. Little by little, it's handled differently. Eat and compare."

"Yes, then"

Mr. Diola rearranges from right to right, eating and comparing little by little and over again, whining and nodding about "ho ho" or "this is......"

You're evaluating me better than I thought.

Eat with pak and say, "This is delicious!" or something like that.

"Yes. I did. From here on out, it's better than anything I've ever eaten before."

Looking at the markings, the heating and cooling and the boiling time is 1, 2 or 3 minutes.

"As different as this is, I wonder if these are different."

You mean like 4 minutes, 5 minutes, raw, and a moment of immersion is no good?

"Thank you, Mr. Diola. So this is what you're selling?

Hulka pointed to a four-minute object.

Diora rated it as much.

But Mr. Diola twisted his neck a little.

"What do you think? I don't know how you did this, but you made it yesterday, didn't you? No matter how dry it is, depending on the state of preservation, it will also lose flavor, because I don't know how much I ate..."

That's right.

I don't know if taking the time will degrade the taste, or if it will ripen deliciously and taste good, but it won't change at all.

Even at the same level at the moment, I don't know what happens when I save it.

Maybe because it doesn't necessarily taste good but it doesn't have a flaw that it's easy to mold.

Well, considering that, you can't sell it until next year, can you?

If we are to be complete, we will have to obtain commercially available dry dindles as control experiments to preserve both.

Well, there's no indication of the consumption deadline in this world, so there's a way to sell it without worrying about it.

"However, this is delicious with no complaints! Fine, I think it'll sell high."

Diora pointed to "this" as one of our most acclaimed heated and cooled objects.

It didn't seem to be in the wrong direction for the flavor.

"Well, there's a way to sell flavors up front, not preservatively."

Hulka was thinking the same thing as me, and I'm kind of nodding when I hear Mr. Diola's assessment.

"Oh, but... Mr. Hulka, do you sell it yourself?

"I'm still thinking about it, but if it's a morning market outdoor or something, it's okay to sell it, right?

The morning market, where we take a chillari peek before we go to work, has nearby farmers coming to sell crops and they are free to buy and sell as long as they can get a place.

Most citizens procure food here, and it seems that sunny cereals, processed products, and so on are the main things to buy in the store.

We can't set up a store, and we sell fruit in the morning market, so this is the best place to sell dry dindles - or we don't have any other options. If you open an outdoor shop anywhere else, you'll be eliminated by a commercial guild.

"Of course, opening a store is fine in itself, but whether it can be sold or not..."

Hulka puts her neck around Diora, who seems a little hard to say.

"Huh? Diola, you said you could sell high, right?

"Yes, I think it's 'worth' selling high...... you know, even I'm relatively well paid, right? Dry dindles. I didn't know people coming to the morning market could buy them frequently..."

"- Ah! Oh..."

"Sure, I'm not familiar with the morning market..."

We'll face to face with Mr. Diola's allegations.

If you ask if gift mask melons are sold frequently in the supermarket in that area, you won't be able to do it first.

Depa underground or a fruit shop in front of the hospital or something like that, but the morning market is obviously a supermarket in the neighborhood.

Also, even assuming you sell it in such a place, given the income, population, of the people of this city, 100 per day is clearly over-supplied.

"Damn, I'm suddenly frustrated."

We sigh at Hulka, who drops his shoulders.

We weren't going to waste it because we were also thinking about consuming it ourselves, but when we were working on it, we said, 'Maybe we could make a little money and spare some nostalgia?' I'm sure he thought so.

"Uh, I tried pretty hard."

Mostly Hulka.

"Uh-huh, hey, you don't get raw dindles or anything, do you? How are you disposing of the guild?

"We have connections with nobles, merchants, and processors. I have absolutely no problem with that amount. If it's a dry dindle, I'll send it to another city, so it's not enough."

"You can't have a boulder introduce you - you can't, can you?

"Yeah, on the boulder. That's... Because wholesale fees are our source of revenue"

Mr. Diola smiles bitterly.

Now that we know, we have to back off honestly.

"Um, the guild can buy it in bulk, right? It's cheaper than retailing to boulders, but I was wondering if the Hulkas would make more money doing other things at that time than spending their time selling."

"It is, isn't it? What do you two think?

"I'm somewhat uncomfortable, but it's safer to leave it to us amateurs than to sell. I don't think there's anything you can do."

"I agree. Shouldn't we try our best to hunt or something?

We're not merchants, and we don't have that kind of skills.

Given the risk of getting caught up in a strange merchant and being scammed and such, throwing a round at the Adventurer Guild would not be such a bad option either.

Slightly cheaper would also be to the extent that you can't help thinking of it as a premium.

"Okay. I'll bring it back, then."

"Thank you. Um, can I have one sample? You have to decide how much you want to buy."

"Then this is it."

For emergency food use and give Mr. Diola one of those I was carrying with me quickly.

By the way, I also carry the emergency food I bought at the store, but fortunately I have never had a chance to be active before.

Previously, when we tasted one separated by three, more shocks than the first day of the stall ran between us.

Once the dried meat is finished, it is a certainty that the emergency meal will baton touch the dried dindle and the dried meat immediately.

"I did keep it for you. Evening - I think it's decided at the usual time, so if you want to stop by, I'll tell you then."

"Yes, thank you"

We bowed our heads gently to Mr. Diola and left the Adventurer Alliance behind with a slight downfall.
