Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

"So, this rice? He said he bought it."

"Ah. You look like rice.... other than size"

Me claiming to be Hulka with four different types of rice on his palm and a skeptical gaze.

"You've never seen rice like this before. For once, beetles and juzdamas are also enemies, so even if there is a large object, it is not so strange..."

"A beetle is a beetle of barley tea, right? Speaking of which, I've never seen it."

"We were drinking a mixed beet tea, but it was fine in the pack... are you big?

"Yeah. That's pretty big. Juzdama, as its name suggests, is the size of a number of pearls. People who eat… are rarely there."

I've only heard about the name, but I play with threads like a few beads or make balls or something.

Yeah, it's a borderless game for me.

That's the old lady, the content of the play is old - no, it's old-fashioned.

"But the way it's crusted is rice, right? It's a little different than wheat, isn't it? The contents are like rice. Oh, but the big ones, they look like rice cakes because they look white?

"... oh, that sounds like it. If it's going to be a cake, it won't matter if the grain is big."

I didn't think of it when I saw it earlier, but the white grains do resemble the rice cake as well.

"No, large grains seem to make flooding and steaming a lot of work...... would it be ok if I crushed it and then did it?

"The middle grain is a little strange..."

Hulka, who carefully peeled off the crust and also shredded the "plush" part of the bran, brings the white rice to light and says so.

I peek at that through Hulka's shoulder, too, and I see a white part in the translucency.

"Hulka, show me too. … This is a bit like the sake rice" No Way ""

"Sake rice is rice used to make sake, right? It's normal to be a small grain, so as it grows, does it turn white from the center?

"No, it doesn't matter because it's another breed, does it?

Toya shakes her head and lightly denies Yuki's predictions.

But it is true that these rices are a distinct different variety, rather than simply different harvest times.

"Is that, like, evolution or the process of mutation? I don't know."

I see. It's possible that it was originally a large variety, dwarfed and small grains were born.

Look at us arguing relatively seriously like that, and Mary beckons me wonderfully.

"Um, rice you guys have been talking about for a while now? I've never seen it before.

"Delicious -"

"It's delicious!?"

It was an eye-glowing meatier, like I was about to say, but in my words I immediately added, it clouds all at once.

"And I think it's good."

"What... what?"

After all, it is a greedy meatier for food.

But even if we think it's delicious, it's a different matter of whether it fits Meatier or Mary's mouth.

Some people say the smell of rice doesn't work.

"Well, that's why I wanted to buy in extra if it tastes good, but when I think about it, you can't eat it like this"

"There is no sliding machine or precision rice machine.... make?

What a subtle look, Hulka makes such a suggestion.

"No, you didn't bring the tools to make it, did you? I can make some parts at home... but in the first place, how does it work?

"Sounds like you used to use a wooden molar."

"Oh, I've seen that on TV."

That one where idols (?) farm.

But it wouldn't be possible to build a wooden mole here.

If Raffan asks Simon, he'll make it soon.

"No, if we make it, it would be rubber roller type. Given the difference in size of this grain, it would be better to be able to adjust it."

"Rubber rollers...... do you rub them together and peel them? Pretty simple, huh?

It seems to be a mechanism to peel the skin with friction through the rice between rubber rollers that rotate at different speeds.

Adjust the gear and you'll be able to make the difference in rotational speed, and it doesn't seem to be difficult structurally, so it feels like you could make a hand-turned folder or something relatively easy...... if you're a Lafan.

"The question is, what are we going to do now? Stripping by hand is... tough?

"Oh, come on, how much?"

Regardless of the amount that you can taste decently, to the extent that you peel one or two grains to try...... no, it is so hard to try to secure the amount that you can cook.

Even if we manage to work hard on large grains, even medium grains, small grains are going to get quite a bit of spirit done.

Besides, after removing the crust, we also have to remove the bran.

Are you going to put it in the right vessel and even poke it with a stick?

Sounds tough either way.

"If that's good, I'll do it with me and me? That's what I said. It's a kid's job."

"Yeah. Good luck!

"No, that's..."

Because it's food, or meatier showing a little tension.

As an inside job for kids, I may say yes, but I kind of feel like letting them do things they don't want to do.

"Well, that's it. If it's about one meal at a time, the seven of us can handle it. Yeah."

So when I suggest so, Hulka nods again to agree.

"Right. If it's large... 300 grains would be enough, right? And then, if you think twice, three thousand and three hundred grains in total?... should we stop it?

There are two types of small grains, one medium grain and one large grain.

Hulka suddenly turns her back on the palm of her hand when she actually doesn't like to do the math.

"No, about 500 grains per person if you do it for seven. If I peel a grain in ten seconds - an hour and a half? Will you stop it?"

I'm starting to hate it, too.

It's not that expensive stuff, and it doesn't taste good, so I bought it in bulk, and it might be better to think about it when I get back to Raffan.

"No, no, that's about it! About an hour and a half, as soon as I worked on it while we were chatting!

"... is that so?

"That stuff, that stuff! If you try something like this, it's no big deal!

"Well... if Yuki says so"

That's why we keep stripping each of the four types of rice for about a cup of tea.

He continued his work while pinching breakfast along the way, with the result that the actual working time was less than an hour before finishing processing.

◇ ◇ ◇

"That was easier than I thought, wasn't it?

"Right. Out of the way, the skin peels easily..."

"It felt peelable to some extent if I rubbed it between my hands."

Yes. After Yuki noticed it along the way, she also improved her working efficiency slightly and eventually peeled off about two meals of various kinds.

Still, it's shorter than initially anticipated.

"Next, precision rice... bran removal, right? Is this a monkey?"

"Zal? You're not poking me with a stick?

"You can poke it with a stick, but it will take a while, because the grain is so big that it's going to crumble. If you put rice in a metal monkey and rub it against a gold net...... figure it out?

I'm not sure what's good, so first I accept Natsuki's suggestion and start working on refined rice.

I only have two monkeys, so I even take turns with the zari.

If you put too much effort into it, the rice cracks, so it's a little difficult, but I guess it's not wrong as a direction because I can see the bran falling down properly.

The time I needed for this was about two hours.

It takes time plainly.

But for what it's worth, we succeeded in getting white rice.

... the grains are bigger than the white rice I know, and they are all over the rice for a long time.

"That's been quite a long way..."

"It's not something you do by hand. Old man, I respect you..."

The removal of the crust would not be just manual, but the amount of effort required would be considerable.

Honestly, I wonder if the energy I need to eat, the energy I get from eating, is the right amount.

Our ancestors lived with it, so I guess there's no problem...

"But you can finally eat it!

"Oh, no, we need flooding, right?

Natsuki showers cold water at Toya, who said happily, and Toya's shoulder drops gaggly.

"Ordinary rice doesn't take that long, but this size..."

"Seriously......"

Uh, flooded. Yeah, I know.

'With this, you can cook rice in a short time!' or convenient goods that say, mostly it says' flood a few dozen minutes before cooking 'all the time.

Of course, that time isn't included in the cooking time I'm writing on the package.

What's more, 'I'll steam it for a few dozen as it is'?

It's not a short time at all! 'And Tsuko. I can't stay first.

Then I'll cook in a regular cooker!

"With a pressure cooker, it might be somewhat better, but if you cook in a regular pot, you still need flooding. How long will it take?

"Because they're completely different sizes, hey. If you thought it would absorb water at the same rate, would it be proportional to the distance to the center? Um, at least four or five times?

"Soybeans will flood you overnight or so..."

"I don't think you need it as much as soybeans... do you want to soak the big ones for, like, three hours?

I know Yuki's argument is reasonable, but hearing it and Toya screaming, there's no other way.

"Long! Hulka, can't you do flooding magic or something?

"You can't be told all of a sudden you can. That kind of magic, it's not in my magic book.... I'm not saying I can't make it."

"Wizards of the past, don't skip!

"No, because wizards are some kind of elite in the first place, right? I don't think you'd bother cooking for yourself, would you?

We can come up with magic that's convenient, magic like that, but it's magic that's convenient as an underwork.

People who work like that can't use magic, and if they can use magic, they can get another job.

I mean, no one studies magic like that.

Maybe someone developed it in a hobby, but it can't be a measure, and it's not in our magic book in hand.

If it was the internet, it might have been shared on the "Convenient Magic Wiki I Developed," but unfortunately I don't have such a convenient means of sharing information.
