50 - Meat, Fish, and Seasoning

Since then, I have parted from Kikuhime and Shin to try my hand at bloop warriors.

I realized halfway through that it was quicker to cut them down than to cut down the last one.

I felt like I had to avoid them when they came in a group, but I hit them with [Isshin], aiming at their weak points. The [Sightseeing] is used not only to avoid being attacked, but also to make it easier to attack the weak points. He parries the onrushing bloop and runs sideways with all his might, striking it in the neck, leaving it exposed and unprotected.

If several bloops come at the same time and there is no time to attack, you can continue to use [Sight-off] as you did with Sheeple.

Since you are fighting in the middle of the herd, you will naturally be rushed not only from the front but also from the back. At first I was fighting at the edge, but as I kept dodging and slashing, before I knew it, I was in the middle of the crowd. I have to keep moving or I will be surrounded immediately, so I am running and fighting instead of staying in one place.

I wonder how I should end the battle ....... I think now that I have no choice but to run through to the plain where there are no bloopers.

I think now that I will just have to run to the plains where there are no bloopers.

I thought it was an announcement of skill acquisition, but then something unusual came.

Loin, rump, fillet, rose, etc... When I was a deer, I could only get loin, but now I can get various parts, and is no longer dropped instead. I wonder what kind of meat used to drop at .......

Does Sheeple also drop various parts now?　But I don't know what to do with it except cook the mutton, so I'll do that later.

I thought that 500 consecutive is the standard for announcements to come, but I guess not. I guess that's because it's a separate category from skills.

I guess it's natural to want to get all the parts in a reasonable number.

After killing 500 edible enemies in a row, the drop parts have been released.

Here we go again!　but is it the same thing?

...... now drops offal.

Fortunately, the rate of dropping meat is not so high. I can't think of anything but stewed motsu when they drop.

After collecting all the meat, we run to the plain where there is neither a herd of bloopers nor a single person in sight. We still managed to defeat the bloopers that followed us and finished. It is exactly three o'clock, time for tea.

< and move to the shade of a tree.

The herd of bloopers in the distance doesn't seem to be excitedly targeting us anymore, but just in case they were the ones we were fighting earlier.

While sipping tea and munching on sandwiches, I get a text message from Luba.

Apparently, the sword is ready and he wants me to pick it up at a convenient time.

While I was reading the mail, Galahad also sent a message, asking if we could get together for a banquet this evening if it was convenient.

He asked us to have a party at Luba's house, I understand.

I reply to Luba and Galahad that I will bring food and drinks for each of them, and I get another e-mail. I wonder if they come all at once.

This is Leo and Ochazuke asking for fish.　It was an email from a friend of mine.

I replied that I would be right there, packed the leftover sandwich and poured myself a cup of tea.

"Oh, come here, come here!"

Leo called me to his table.

"Did you catch a lot?"

"Great catch, great catch."

"I don't know what the market is for fish?"

"Just grill it and put half of it back."

"No, you have to pay in cash, otherwise the clan won't be able to save enough money.

Leo is stopped by Ochazuke.

You have trouble putting a price on it, I have trouble too.

Surusa, koganeji, rush sea bass, yami-surume, rolled sea eel, aoba bonito, horse mackerel, sea bass, surume...... only named after real world fish are fish that can be caught without using fishing skills.

Fish that can only be caught with skill, and fish with fluctuating ingredient ranks are said to be fish with unfamiliar names or fish with funny words in front of their names.

I thought ...... aoba bonito was a normal ingredient, but it was a rank 8 ingredient, so you can never be too careful. Rank 8 is the same as the meat from the boss, so why are there so many?　Oh, because it's Leo?

"So?　How much is that?"

"I'm thinking 40,000 for me and 50,000 for Leo because of the quantity. The price of bonito is a mystery and it's a bowl. Well, instead of the usual?　The fish are worth a couple of bucks, so take some as a freebie."

It was a big catch, and they were both biting hard. Leo's price is higher than Ochazuke's because he caught more fish of a higher food grade than Ochazuke. And aoba bonito is not so easy to catch after all.

We got enough just horse mackerels to keep us going for some fried horse mackerels for a while. I'll use < before I put them away.

Pants!

"Wahahaha! I put an 8 rating on the service!"

You...

I let my guard down and was handed a pair of bikini pants along with a fish. And they were bright red.

Curse you!

"Fish?" "Fish?" "Fish?" "Fish?" "Fish?" "Fish?"

?"

"What's with you all of a sudden?"

"No, meat is served in parts or in meat blocks."

"Ah!　Come to think of it."

I also processed salmon when I was given it.

"Why is that?"

"First of all, the developer likes fishing, so when he speaks of fish, he means whole fish. Second, the developer likes to cook fish, so he takes the fish down himself. You can choose whichever you like."

"One, two combined!"

Leo answers cheerfully. Yeah, I have a feeling about that, too.

"By the way, I was looking at the discussion board while I was waiting, and I heard that some idiot started a cattle train here, so be careful not to get involved..."

"That's scary. Did you take him into town?"

"No, I heard that you led them to an empty plain.

"Good, good, good."

We part ways with the two fishermen who are going to fish some more, and return to the fast. Ochazuke was grumbling that he would have been able to fish while working from home if he hadn't been in full-dive VR.

The level of [Thread] is now 6. At level 5, the length of the string is 10 meters.

The whitish translucent thread blends in well with its surroundings. I wonder if I should prepare black painted ones for the night.

When I left the room with the transfer gate, I met Ekaterina.

"Oh my goodness, here they are, a million sil ......, no, your sisters and brother want to meet the one who helped you."

He called to me with all kinds of uneasiness.

"I'm not going to come forward."

"They're not stupid, they're good kids. If you start preparing them now, they'll be useful in assisting you in your adventures and in preparing you for them.

"I'm not in any particular trouble, so I don't need an assistant. Teach him arithmetic or something, or give him a job instead of going on adventures. Let them eat."

It was going to be a long story, so I'll leave you alone with your bloop of , no questions asked. At first I was going to push horse mackerel, but I decided not to do that for the sake of the picture.

I felt like a waitress carrying a ten-tiered table in a comic book.

I felt a little pain from the eyes of adventurers (players) coming in and out of the gate, but it's OK, since Ekaterina doesn't seem to be chasing after me. The meat is quite heavy, but I am surprised that you can hold it, and I change my perception of Ekaterina a little.

Well, the fish and meat are weighing down my belongings, so I have to produce and organize them for the banquet.

But first, let's log out, take a break, and find out how to make dried bonito flakes. My bonito broth. I guess I'll have to go somewhere colder for kelp broth.

Before I log in again and go to the production facility, I stop by the commercial guild to deliver wine, beer, and whisky, and see how the consignment sales are going.

Some of the dishes are left except for those rated 10. The same pricing but with more E! The ones that are more efficient in recovery and less depleted (more durable) are sold out.

Let's enjoy eating more!　I replenish my stock with the thought, "I'll be back soon.

In fact, recipes that are easy to obtain except for those with a rating of 10 are often exhibited, so there is no choice. Meat is easy to obtain along with other production materials, and although my main production is blacksmithing, I also do some simple cooking!　I guess there are a lot of people who are like that. If you are dexterous, you can get a high evaluation like I did.

The comment section was filled with sweets and sweets and sweets, but I won't go into that. I also received a soliciting comment from Black Lily with emoticons.

I'll offer bloop skins at a price a little lower than the average.

I was thinking, "I'll just put it on the market," but as soon as I put it out, it was bought.

I'm going to use them to deliver to the guild.

It seems that there is a group of people who use a lot of skins to raise their production level. I put the rest in the empty slot at the same price, and do my own shopping this time.

First of all, I look for seasonings as I have done in the past.

There are several kinds of salt, including algae salt and rock salt from the cirfoles. The lowest-priced ones appear and disappear as soon as they are bought, so I stock up on the cheapest ones I can find. There are also various kinds of wheat, such as fast brim wheat, black wheat, upright wheat, etc. I wonder where they come from.

I wonder where they get it from. I always drive on the roadless roads, so it might be growing along the roads. Maybe I should take a walk along the road next time.

Today's banquet menu will be fried horse mackerel and bonito tataki, fish and chips, pizza, bacon wrapped asparagus, caprese with tomatoes and mozzarella-like cheese, and so on.

Do you have basil?

...... sells curry bread!

I bought it without a second thought.

Who developed the curry recipe?　Do you have any spices?

I searched and bought every spice I could find that looked like it, and since they were of normal rank, they seemed to be traded goods from some city that were being resold as is. I hope to find out where they sell them someday. I wonder if I can find it at my grandfather's place.

I noticed that they even sell mayonnaise, although it is easier to get the ingredients for this one. The insatiable pursuit of food...that's the Japanese!　Sorry to say that this is a side job of other production.

It seems that the production workers can make production tools, and I found a frying pan and a skillet of a higher rank than I have now, so I bought them. Cooking tools can fit in an item pouch, so you don't have to worry about the number of tools.

I also bought a knife and a willow blade knife!　With this, I'm going to slice every fish into three pieces. There is an indication of attack power on the knife, but it means it is sharp, right?

I bought a lot of materials for alchemy and ingredients for active medicines, and I'm still in the black thanks to the active medicines and the 10 rated dishes.

I'm still at the age where I can raise my skill level by cooking and alchemy, and if I can make a surplus in production while I'm leveling up, it's pretty good. So, I want some fried chicken meat, so I'll buy some meat from a rampaging chicken.

After that, we go to the production facility to cook, prepare medicines, and smelt, and collect the proceeds from the sale of the items we just put on the market. In the empty consignment space, I put the sold-out resistance medicine, life and magic potions, and return stones. I put the highest price I could put on them without giving them a rating of 10, but they sold like hotcakes.

I have put a limit on the number of items that can be purchased, but they sell out quickly, probably because many adventurers have moved to the second floor, Sir, or Hoth in this short period of time.

Some of the comments from a while ago said that they are too expensive to buy many, but they are taking them to the boss battles!　But now, there were comments like, "I'm not sure.

I was just thinking that people are getting more comfortable with their pocketbooks when suddenly I noticed it.

I donated too much to Yekaterina at first.

I gave out the assassination fee as it was since two people were entrusted to her, but at that point, that amount of money could only be earned by adventurers or producers at the top, or even at the top, I doubt it. It is still the time to invest in facilities and equipment. Usually, even if they have extra income, they put most of it into improving their own abilities. So they are on your radar and are contacting you all the time!

The fact that Yekaterina has money is known.

Next time I'll cheat with fried horse mackerel and sea bass meuniere.
