I decided to try to see if I could recreate the food from my former world for lunch.
I promised to feed Aina and Sorte when they come back, so I'll try to figure out what I can make first.
Also, I need to devise a way for Shiro to eat the vegetables in a tasty way, so I'll think about that too.
So, we went to the shopping mall to the north of the central square.
There were food stalls near the central square, and the main street in the north was like a marketplace lined with shops.
Yes, there are. Fruits, vegetables, fish and, of course, meat.
And some kind of powder is sold in bags.
Come on, come on, come on! A basket of freshly harvested fruit, umuru berries, costs 1,400 nol!
'There's some good meat in there ma'am! There's some good King Turkey, Piggle and Black Morm in there!
'Come on! It's the freshest caterpillar in the morning! The head is still there too!
Oops.....
That store is no good. Let's try not to look at that store.
'Yes, I'll go ahead and tell Wendy and White, but remember, we're not going to be eating caterpillars at my house.
I hear it's good.
I don't care if it's good or not, you can't have all the bugs in the world. Absolutely not. You can buy it and eat it yourself, but after you eat it, don't go near it for a while...
I'm sorry, but I can't because I feel like I have leftover bug juice, leftover bug juice on me.
'Does your master not like bugs?
"I'm not good at it, but I can't even touch it. I can't even look at it...
Impossible. Oh, I see. I don't eat it either.
'White too. I'd like to try it, but I don't want to be anywhere near the Lord.
Thank you.
I'm really glad you understand.
So, from now on, we'll have no bugs on our table.
Well, let's have a look around, shall we? Both of you, let's talk about it.
Yes. Leave it to me.
I've got a taste for it.
Of course, I will use the appraisal, but I also want to hear what they have to say.
I'll start with the shops in the west area.
I'm going to start by looking at the shops in the west district. Look at me! I'll serve you!
Ma'am I'm a slave, heh.
Does that mean White is a child?
'White, I don't think it's possible for me and you to be husband and wife and Wendy to be the child.
'Oh, you're both slaves? Either way, I envy you, mister! Why don't you buy me something to share that kind of happiness with me?
Ha-ha, can I see that?
'Of course, sir! There's some good stuff in there today!
He's a spirited old man.
What he's selling is proper animal meat.
"Huh. That's a lot of marbling.
Oh, my God! It's excellent! How sweet the fat is! Black Morm isn't just about leather, man!
Yeah. What are the parts?
I've got everything! There's a whole one for one! I can give you the part you want, man!
That's great.
By the way, I wonder if it's acceptable to use kalbi or loin here too?
'Kalbi! Calvi!
Oh, so you can get through. It's very convenient.
There's a lot of fat in the ribs, so I'd like to have a loin, filet, or rump as well. Oh, you.
It's you..... Just by changing the way they call you, your feelings will change.
But the person who said it looks very embarrassed.
It's cute to see her cheeks heat up and she's down on her face with both hands.
I agree. And I want the tail as well. Can you ask for a rose or something?
Of course I do! Tails stay on sale until the end of the day, but those things are great when they're cooked!
Nice. Beef tail stew. We'll have to buy some wine then.
Yeah! You can drink it or stew it, the perfect companion!
Oh, you're a man of your trade. Do you have any more tang?
"'Eh.........
Hmm?
Hey, what's up with you, shopkeeper?
What happened to your earlier flippancy and energy?
"Lord, you're eating a cow's tongue?
It's not a good idea...
Kissing a cow? That's a tough one....
'What? You guys can eat bugs, but not a cow's tongue!
Are you kidding me?
I'd rather kiss a live cow than eat a bug, okay?
Lord, is it good?
That's one of the most popular meats in my country.
A lot of people ask for it first.
But that stuff is crunchy and tends to build up in the belly, so if you eat all you can, you won't be able to get in much.
But it's beef tongue. I mean, I just feel....
Wendy....
Well, I'll sell it to you if you agree to give it to me.
Yeah, I'll take it back! It's okay. I'll just eat on my own.
It's a good thing.
I'll eat it alone.
What can you get me for that?
I'd like a kilo each of ribs, loin, rump, belly, sirloin, fillet and tail. Cut the beef tongue a little thinner. And I'll have that red wine I was telling you about.
Hey, hey, I'm happy to see you. Are you going to get in?
Yeah, that one.
Let's put the food in the magic bag.
It won't smell or transmit anything, right?
Wow. A magic bag. That's even more generous than I thought. That's 114,000 knolls in all. For free?
Yeah, give me a minute.
Come to think of it, the money was in the magic bag too.
That's quite an expense, even though I just sold the vibrator to Yashis.
But the accessories are selling well, so it's not that much.
........You're not crazy about money, are you?
A lot of meat. Yeah. Conamondoni.
"Every time. Come back to me, mister!
Yeah, I'm gonna have to be on the favored side since you don't seem to have any bugs on hand.
Specializing in animal meat! It's like.
If there's a bug in line with the beef, I can't do it.
Maybe I'm overreacting, but I can't do what I can't do.
'Ooh meat! Meat, meat, meat...
'Hey, White. You have to eat your vegetables, too.
'I have more meat than I can eat. That's why I eat meat. Wendy should eat her vegetables. Anything more is ... dangerous.
What do you mean? I'm not fat!
That's right, White. And don't eat meat at all.
They say that when you lose weight, you lose weight through your breasts, and the last thing you want is for that treasure to get smaller.
It's not that that's the only thing that makes Wendy so attractive, but she is a treasure.
Newlyweds! If you want, you can go and look at the vegetables from our garden. They're so fresh and delicious!
It's good, White. I'm going to check it out.
'Ugh. I don't like vegetables.
Come on. Come on, let's go.
Oh.
That's great. They are all vegetables I've never seen before.
There is a similar one, but I wonder if it is a potato?
There are two burdock-like pieces attached to it.
It's very tasty if you mash them into soup.
Inexpensive common food. It walks around the field on two legs.
Hmm....
Potatoes. Good.
Moi" is read backwards as "potato". Yup.
The d*mn thing walks around on two legs and is a terror to me.
"Master. Everything looks good.
Well.....
Piggybacked peppers. A green vegetable with a hint of bitterness.
A natural enemy of children. If you can eat it, you're an adult. Walking around the field on two legs.
Caresse - A classic salad. It's the best way to have a bowel movement. "Bipedal.
.....
What?
What is it?
Are the vegetables of this world bipedal by default?
Hey, do vegetables walk?
Yeah. Basically, I never leave the field, but I do walk around.
What's that for?
'Well...? Are they moving to a more sunny spot?
You don't know anything, do you? That's because the vegetables are also exercising and squeezing their bodies. The more energy they have to roam around, the better they grow, because the more energy they have, the better they taste!
That's going to be hard to catch, isn't it?
'They'll be resting in their beds during the night, hanging in the dirt and on the stems. And during that time we'll harvest them all at once!
I see. At night, it's just like the vegetables I know.
Good. Later on, when you're farming, you'll probably have some horror pictures of vegetables that keep wandering around at night.
"Well, let's just get a basket of these, these, and these.
For now, I'll buy a basket of potato-like ones, bell pepper-like ones, cabbage-like ones, carrot-like ones, and tomato-like ones.
I'll buy a basket of tomatoes and a basket of sweet potatoes and a basket of carrots and a basket of tomatoes.
It's not that I'm being generous, but we have a big eater in our house.
I don't need that much!
It seems that he doesn't like vegetables.
But it only takes a little ingenuity to make them taste good.
Thank you. Can you take some to go?
Yeah, put it in there.
Oh, the magic bag? It's nice. If I could buy this, it would make it easier for me to carry my vegetables.
I'm afraid it's just for safekeeping.
'Oh, I thought you were some rich guy with two of these beautiful slaves.
I fiercely agree that I'm a beautiful woman, but I'm still far from being able to live the rest of my life playing around without working.
Oh, I'd love to be rich.
'Too many vegetables...'
Don't be so cynical. It's a lot of meat.
There is a limit to the number of magic bags, so I move the vegetables and meat into the magic space so that no one can see them.
A small magic bag (small) would take time, but a magic space doesn't take time and won't lose its freshness.
"Master, what are you planning to cook?
I haven't decided on anything yet. I mean, you can substitute vegetables and meat, but it's a matter of what happens to the seasonings and staples.
Most of the otherworldly things don't have rice, or they're only available in some great country.
But we had white bread, so we'd have flour or something similar.
Then I think I can make that.
It's not Japanese food, though.
I mean, it might be in this world.
What can we expect to see next?
'If only we had a store for oil and flour and then some condiments...'
Did you say oil, mister? We're the best for oil! We're the best at seasoning and drinking!
As we were talking and walking, a beast of a man with a healthy tan skin and a navel-gazing shorts tube top appeared in front of us from the side, energetically stopping us.
