Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

About an hour later, when I joined the Hulkas, I was visiting Aela's shop again.

Introduce Mr. Luce to the Hulkas, who will meet him for the first time, and then get him to work on cooking the meat quickly.

"Shall we start with the deer? Deer tastes change with the way they are treated... excuse me for a second..."

Mr. Aela cuts the meat out of the block of venison thinly, smells it, shakes the salt and pepper and cooks it gently, pacling it.

"... yeah. That's a very good process. There is hardly any odor, and this will take no effort to cook. Well, let's make some different ones."

With that said, Mr. Aela will quickly cut the venison by site.

It's the women of Haruka, Yuki and Natsuki who help with that.

Me and Toya, and then Mr. Luce, are tourists too.

"By the way, Mr. Luce, what's your dish?

Mr. Rouche smiles bitterly at my question.

"I specialize in eating. Aela was there..."

"Oh, when people are nearby who cook well, there's a part of you that can't help it, right? Even if I make it myself, it's not me..."

Mr. Luce snorts deeply at my words all the time saying 'get my will'.

"Right! I'm following the procedure, and I'm supposed to be using the same thing..."

"A little difference, I guess, is important"

"I guess so.... Oh, more than that, am I glad to give it to your companion too? I'm not even helping you cook."

"Of course it is. I'm a friend of Aela's, and fortunately, there's a lot of meat."

"Thank you"

After Aela introduced me, we were the ones who held back Mr. Luce, who was about to leave.

Sometimes I can't eat enough meat, but I feel that Aela will continue to take care of me, and I've never been able to get along with my friend Luce.

Well, the primary reason is, I just want to be honest with you.

Because we don't know much about this world.

"Brown Eike meat doesn't put too much fire through it, or cook it carefully and soften it anyway, does it? Halfway through, it gets stiff. Dried meat can be delicious if cooked well, but requires a few tricks"

"Brown Eik...... is this deer?

"Yes. I think that's it around here, isn't it?

That's what I said, twisting my neck. Explaining to Mr. Aela the characteristics of the deer we saw, I nodded unh.

"I knew it was Brown Eike. Generally, younger people can take delicious meat. It's pretty big that Nao and the others killed him, but given his age, this meat tastes amazing, doesn't it? Because it usually stinks more. You handled it so well."

Our blood drain and cooling will be hard to emulate by a normal hunter, and thanks to the magic bag, it's fresh enough. I guess I can certainly say that it handles well in that respect.

"In the meantime, I'll make one stewed dish and two baked dishes. If you look at that, I think Mr. Hulka and the others would be good at applying it."

Mr. Aela first got her hands on it from the simmering dish and quickly created two dishes of baked dishes while it was simmering.

That arrangement is just professional.

It's still quicker and brighter than the Hulkas, who seem to be doing better from our point of view.

"Sa, try it"

We all pound our tongues on a venison dish lined up on the table.

To say that it is easy to harden, the dish has no such thing at all, and I can't feel the smell.

Tastes different from Tusk Boer or Oak dishes.

This is it.

"That's delicious. I thought venison was harder to eat."

"Because I'm a cook too. I'm trying to make it delicious."

Aela smiles happily at my thoughts.

It was as handy as ever, but I don't know how to cook it when asked how it was different from the task bore.

But the Hulkas are snorting and listening to Mr. Aela's advice, so I'm sure he'll cook it in a good way. I'm sure.

"The stewed dish takes time, so as to wait for a while... Shall we go to the bound viper next"

"Bind Viper, you look a little arrogant"

The bound viper meat removed from the velcro bag is a bump about 50 cm wide.

Seeing it, Hulka has an indescribable look on her face.

The skin is peeled off before it is cut, so if you don't tell me, I may not realize it's a snake, but from those of us who know it is, it's part of a snake, no matter how you look at it.

"Uh-huh, maybe that's what people don't like. It's not that major of an ingredient. But the soup you make from the bones is very tasty, isn't it?

"From the bone, is it?

"Yes. It's very simple."

Open the bind viper, add the removed middle bone area to the pan, and simmer even as you remove the ash juice. At this time, you may add vanilla seeds if you like.

All you have to do is broth at a stage where the bones are soft enough to crumble, and just season them with salt for a delicious soup.

The first thing I defeated was when I dismantled it, and I threw away my middle bone and gut, but after that, I just clueless it and smashed it into pieces.

This time it played a role. I didn't know bones were worth it.

You mean books don't always count?

"Especially since the work is simple but time consuming, very few people make it at home. Is it basically something to eat in the store because making a large quantity doesn't change the hassle much, even in small quantities"

"Oh, then, the bones of the bind viper in your hand, will you handle them all at once?

"Yeah, I don't mind. - Luce, give me a hand."

"Yes, sir."

Standing up with a light reply, Mr. Luce disappeared behind the store with Mr. Aella for a while, and the two of them came back with a torso the size of which Mr. Aella would softly enter.

"Come on. Phew... throw the middle bone into this."

"Understood."

If the four of us split up, the treatment of the bound viper would soon be over, and Mr. Aela set the torso on the stove with the bone in it, putting water in it and then setting it on fire.

Further, remove some vanilla from the refrigerator and put it inside.

"That's about three to five hours while you take the ash juice."

"Wow, that takes a lot of work. Could that soup be expensive?

"Compared to other soups, it's expensive. Because you don't get a lot of bind viper bones. And in a regular dining room, you'll need firewood to simmer for a long time."

Yuki probably heard it in the sense that it was' costly because of the effort ', but Aela's response was' cos of the high material '.

Speaking of which, labor costs are relatively low in this world.

I also feel it would be advantageous for us on the wholesale side of the material, but it also has the disadvantage that the asking fee as an adventurer is not very high.

So there is also the reality that it is more profitable to collect and sell collections and meat than to take a poor request. Of course, that's only on the assumption that we can carry large quantities of harvest and meat.

"Well, at the end of the day, you're bound viper meat. It's a little stiff...... or elastic, so your preferences are somewhat divided, but you can slice it thin and salt it to bake. Does it feel like a bird celery? Less fat though."

"Wow! Ceceli!

I like Cecili a lot. There was a slightly distant part about the snake, but I might try it.

"Well, it's highly resilient, so it's not the type of meat you eat a lot. If we consume it ourselves, in a way, we have more difficulty processing it than bones"

With that said, Mr. Aela cooked quickly, sliced thinly and served us the meat stir-fried in salt.

We pick it one at a time and put it in our mouth.

It has a very elastic texture. Its toothpick does resemble a bird's celery, but, as Aela said, it is less greasy and somewhat pale, but slightly different from a bird's celery.

But still, the taste comes out when I'm chewing, so it's not worse than I thought.

If I were to mention the difficulty, it would still be its elasticity. It takes time to eat even though it is sliced thin, and my jaw is tired.

"Sure, you can't eat a lot of this."

"Yeah, maybe a small amount. It doesn't taste bad though."

In everyone's opinion that eating was good in small quantities, it was still Toya who disputed only one person.

"I like these teeth. Maybe thicker meat."

"Yeah!? I think even the Beast Man is tough...... would you like to bake it?

"Ooh. Please."

Aela, who rounded her eyes to Toya's opinion, now cuts the meat in steak sizes and bakes it.

The smell just seems delicious...... that thickness, can you eat it?

"Done, but... are you okay?

"I'll have it! Mmm... this, toothpick... feels good?

I hit the steak that came out on the plate with a fork, and it was a roaring Toya, but the way it looked was like, "I'm going to bite it off." First of all, it seems impossible to me.

"... it still looks like Bind Vipers should sell the majority. What if it's Mr. Aella's place?

"Even so many of us...... because there are limited variations in cooking compared to oak. I'd appreciate a bone, though."

"No, no, because you don't have to worry about it. I'll sell it to the Alliance."

I wave at Aela with a slightly troubled look on her face. The Alliance will buy it for you, so you don't have to sell it to Mr. Aella.

"Speaking of which, how was the buyout price for the bound viper?

"It was about as heavy as an oak."

Instead, the meat per car is considerably less than the oak.

The demon stone is a little higher than the oak and the skin is quite high. In total, they bought it for about 20% less than the oak.

Thinking about it, when it comes to us, an oak would be better off in terms of efficiency.

If you're a normal adventurer struggling to take home, you might as well have a bind viper who can make money off unspoiled skin and demon stones.

"It's like actively hunting."

"Yeah, right."

I'm not going to bother avoiding it when I run into you, but if you don't have to hunt until you look for it, Aella smiles back from the kitchen at our opinion.

"Hehe, is it? Maybe you'll change your mind, won't you?

"Hmm? Is there something, Mr. Aella?

"Well, that's for later fun, so let's eat because we can simmer venison. And a meat dish with bound vipers."

The stewed venison dish served looks like a beef stew, and the venison inside is soft enough to break loose with a spoon.

The flavoring is also close to a rich beef stew and very tasty.

It also fits the bread served with me, but makes me want to eat it like hayashi rice over rice.

"It gets softer about this over time. I knew it would take a lot of work at home."

Not that I cook, but if I simmer for more than an hour, it'll still be a hassle.

Plus, if you're a household cooking with firewood, fuel costs aren't stupid either.

I don't know if it could be a pressure cooker, but unfortunately I've never seen it. Even if they make it, it seems difficult around packing and safety devices.

"If you're a bound viper, it's sautéed in sauce with vanilla."

"... yeah, I'd rather be as thin as this"

A good texture is slightly similar to a stir-fry made from the small bowel of a cow, which was also famous in Japan.

It is cut smaller, making it easier to eat even if it is elastic.

This is the dish that makes me want rice again.

"Now, at the end of the day, it's a tightening soup made of bound viper bones. I ate a lot of meat today, so I lightly add minced green vegetables with a light flavor"

What came out was a white, cloudy soup.

It's accented with green vegetables scattered over it, but that's all the ingredients.

I did eat a lot of meat. It could be just fine for my stomach right now.

Sip the soup with a spoon.

"... delicious"

It has a gentle flavour but also a flavour and depth, and has no odor at all.

Slight vanilla notes through the nose and diluted saltiness.

There is no complexity in the flavour, and there is no characteristic of it, but that makes me feel bad...

"This is more than I ever imagined."

"Really, just the bones of a bound viper?

"The only others are vanilla and salt, right? I only scattered green vegetables later."

The cooking method is so simple, the harder it seems that even I can do it.

Then I didn't know I could have all this soup......

"Sure, this is worth hunting for a bound viper."

"Right? Well, if you take the bone, the buyout price, it's going down a little bit."

That's what Mr. Aela says and smiles bitterly.

The bind viper I sold to the guild this time seemed to sell a little higher if it came with it, as it was the meat that removed the mesobone.

Still, the orcs seem to make more money...... I spare this soup but I also have trouble making less money.

I still hunt when I encounter it, is it reasonable?

If you're hunting for soup, your income will be reduced.

"Um, I'm not saying I can't, but if you bring in bones for us, we'll buy them higher than the guild, right? It's hard for the Hulkas to spend hours just for soup, too, isn't it?

"It is, isn't it? I don't hate cooking, but I'm tired when I get back or after I train..."

"Hey, it's gonna take time, this soup"

"I want this soup too, but I can't tell the Hulkas I can't. And meat. That steak was delicious."

It is only Toya. Maybe the other members can't chew through that steak.

But it appears that there are no members opposed to selling Mr. Aela the bones of a bound viper.

"Isn't that good? You can drink this soup without changing your earnings."

"Right. Besides, you don't have to buy it expensive. If you leave us our share of soup."

"Yes, of course. Nao, gentlemen, you must come and eat!

After this day, whenever we hunted for a bind viper, we brought it to Aela's shop, where we started to treat ourselves to soup.
