53 3-14 My Home My Life Beef Tongue in Another World

After a few moments of Wendy's anger, I got the ingredients out of the refrigerator and started cooking.

Just because I've lived alone for a long time doesn't mean I can cook!　There is no reason why I can say with confidence that I can make it.

If it's a simple stir-fry, I sometimes make it, but I think it's normal to know how to cook red wine only vaguely with knowledge.

Anyway, I don't have time to make bouillon.

I didn't have time to make it, so I used instant seasoning powder that I bought.

I grilled the meat first, seasoned it with salt and pepper and lightly fried it with the onion.

I also add honey and stir in some seasoned powder with water, and a delicious flavor rises to the surface.

After tasting it, it doesn't look bad.

But the meat still isn't going to be hollow....

Can we make a pressure cooker out of alchemy?

But it's not safe.........

But we have magic stones in this world.........

Hmmm........there's not enough time to cook it.......

What should we do? But it doesn't smell too bad.

I'll just cook it to the last minute for today.

Now we just need to take out the slices of moi in the brine and drain them.

Put plenty of oil from the oribulls in a deep-bottomed frying pan and submerge a wire mesh for taking them out first.

'Oh, do you use oribul oil for frying?'

Is it bad?

No, it's an expensive item, so I was worried that you would spend that much all at once...

Hmm. No, I was thinking that if you remove the impurities in the alchemy reconstruction, you could reuse them.

'I see. Well, that might be possible. It's a luxury nonetheless.

It would be great if it was a reusable, high-grade oil.

The oil heats up and bubbles rise up when you stick the chopsticks in it.

That's roughly the temperature.

I adjust the heat and put the sliced moi into the oil while keeping the temperature at the right level.

It's a certain amount because the temperature of the oil will drop if you put it in all at once, but it's easy to do because it takes about two minutes.

Ahhh.....

Just sprinkle salt and you're done.

I took a bite of the freshly fried food.

The crispy moi and salt are the best.

I'd like to have a cold beer if I could, but I don't have such a thing.

Well, let's divide the rest of the moi and make it into french fries.

And while we're at it, let's use the dried noodles to make a peperoncino.

Wendy, can you fry the meat for me?　I'll leave the seasoning to you.

I'm sorry, sir.

I can't cook anything fancy today.

But I have the ingredients, and in this world, there is plenty of time to make an elaborate meal.

We have all kinds of spices and seasonings and ingredients.

Now we just need to make a pizza.

Let's make it in a hurry.

First, I put sugar in yeast and warm water and let it ferment first.

Flour, fermented yeast, salt, and a drop or two of oil from the oriburu, and then knead the dough.

When it comes together roughly, cut it in half, roll out the dough, then make a sauce with tometo and instant seasoning, and top it with the ingredients and small pieces of melted cheese.

All that's left to do is to use a combination of the stove and the invisible prison as a pizza oven, throw some burnt coals inside and it will be ready in no time.

For now, all that's left to do is lightly fry the meat.

It's easy to make if you use flour, eggs and breadcrumbs.

The dishes that Wendy and I made are lining up on the table one after another.

Once you make it, you don't want to stop.

There's at least one gluttonous person in our house, a tiny but voracious eater, so I'm afraid there's not enough food to go around.

And even though she is a woman, with three adventurers, this amount of food may soon be gone.

''Master, the meat is done cooking.

All right, well, let's switch places. I'll do the beef tongue.

...Um, are you still going to eat it?

Of course.

Would you like to stop?

No, sir!

It's beef tongue, beef tongue.

And it's such a thick cut of beef tongue that would cost 800 yen a plate if you walked into a store!

Oh, it would be good to cut them into small pieces and toss them with pasta.

I also sliced the lemonia seed.

I'm using a frying pan today, but next time I'll definitely grill them in a griddle. I'll make a grill net, too!

The shichirin I'm sure you could make one if you wanted to!

Lord, I'm hungry. Are you hungry yet?

Well. When Renge comes back.

I'm surprised he didn't come back.

"Don't say anything scary...

You're back at the right time.

Exhaustion.　My lord isn't feeling well, so he was in a bad mood and complained to me a lot...

Hahaha. But I'm glad you're safe.

Yeah, but I'm tired...

'Oh well. Do you want to eat the yasis too?

Yes. I'd like to join you for a drink.

Oh, good.

Maybe Yashis would eat the beef tongue.

I mean, he likes to learn about the unknown, you know, things he doesn't know.

"Gosh, I think we're done here, Wendy.

'Yes, I made the salad at the end. Oh, I'll bring you a plate to share.

Ta-da!

I'm done!

'Great. Do they have food from the lord's country?

Well, the way it's made is the way I used to make it in the world I'm from, but it seems to exist in this world too.

Sure. There's this beef stew. But I don't think I've ever seen it on a flatbread with the filling and cheese on it.

Pizza?　This is the one that's most likely.

'When I bake bread, I usually don't put anything on it. Sometimes I cut it out and then put ham or vegetables on it.

'Well, black bread is the norm. It's not something you can eat unless you eat it with something or soak it in soup.

Oh.

Oh, I forgot to make the soup. I thought I'd forgotten to make the soup, but it looks like Wendy made it for me.

"Let's get on with it, though.

Yes...........

What? You've never done that before........

On the contrary, all the attention is focused on us.

"Is that what your husband is doing?

No, it's just a standard pre-dinner civility we had on the world we came from.

You mean like this?

Renge imitates me and clasps her hands together.

'What does this mean?'

No, we're accepting food and life, so we want to show our gratitude for that.

Heh. Then I'll do the same.

No, we'll do it your way.

I believe it was Raydiana, the god of fertility and compassion.

Raydiana.....

It's not the name of a god from the original world or anything, is it?

I think I've heard something about it....

You don't normally do that over there either, do you?

At an everyday meal, we say our prayers in our hearts, but at a fancy meal like this, we read the scriptures aloud to ourselves and eat the meal.

Huh. I see.

Well, it's like saying, "I'll be in heaven--" in the original world.

"Well, let's eat it before it gets cold.

I suppose so. It's a special dish.

Wendy agrees and everyone looks at me.

What?

Well the landlord has to take a bite first and then everyone else will start eating.

Oh, really? Well, I'm sorry, I'll just go first.

I'm going to take a bite of beef tongue like Yashis told me to.

Ooohhhh.

Yummy!

It's chewy but not hard.

On top of that, it was just seasoned with salt and pepper, but it was insanely good.

I tried it with a squeeze of lemonia, and it was better than the first beef tongue I had ever had at a fancy barbecue restaurant my boss took me to before!

It's not true that beef tongue is not eaten in this world.

Could it be that you can get this beef tongue on the cheap and eat it all you want?

Yes, my lord?

Hmm?　Do you want some Wendy?　It's so good.

No....

'How. What did our guest eat?　Apparently it's the only meat you have at your customer's place.

It's a cow's tongue.

"'Eh.........

Hey, buddy. The group of adventurers have stopped shoveling their hands in with gusto.

Come to think of it, that pasta has garlic in it, is it okay for the animal type?

Oh. A cow's tongue? I'm interested in it.

Eat up!　It's best when it's hot!

Then let's get to it.

Yashis took a slice and everyone's attention was on it.

All the way through chewing and swallowing repeatedly.

'This ... is a delicacy. It's crunchy and full of meat flavor, very tasty.'

f*ck you!

Is it something you eat on a daily basis in your world?

'Yes. I've never seen anyone say they didn't like it much.

I'll take a bite too.

Uh ... good.

I could grill it with spicy miso on it, but is there any meat on it?

Miso I want miso I want miso.

I'd like some miso soup and white rice.

"Lord, White, too. I'll eat white too.

Oh, come on. I'll show you.

Uh-oh.

I thought White would eat it if he heard it was good, but I knew it.

He was munching and chewing repeatedly, his eyes shining.

I'm hooked on this one.

It's delicious!　One more bite!

That's good. I've got a lot to burn!　Oh, oh my goodness.

'Ahhh. Yum!

The adventurer's group, including Wendy, looks like they're seeing the impossible.

But what's good is good.

''Oh, me too........''

'Stop it, Renge!　No matter how good it is, that's a cow's tongue!

'No, why do you guys hate cow tongues so much when you eat bugs...'

Then we can't force them to do anything.

I don't want to eat a bug, no matter how good it tastes.

But that's okay. You don't have to eat them.

And there's plenty more to come.

Pizza is at its best.

The cheese is very melty.

"This bread is delicious. "This bread is delicious, with the cheese and Tomato sauce.

Pizza. It's just too many calories. You'll gain weight.

Immediately after that, Wendy's hand snaps to a stop.

Then she gently puts the new pizza she was holding back on her plate and looks at me with tears in her eyes.

'Sir, do you think I'm fat too?'

No, not at all. A little more plumpness is perfectly acceptable.

And, of course!

Wendy quickly reaches for the pizza I mentioned earlier.

Pig straight. Buhhhh.

I'm going to exercise!

Don't be mean to me, White. Here, you try it, too.

'I'm already eating it. It's so good, I nailed it that Wendy shouldn't eat it all.

I won't eat them all!

I don't know if we're close or not.

How's it going there?　Do the noodles smell strong?

It's delicious with a dash of Galio and red tonga.

'Yeah. It's a bit Galio strong, but not bad.

Good food is the basis of being an adventurer, after all!　I don't like it!

But I'm still a little uncomfortable with the cow's tongue.

As I said before, you don't have to eat. I don't eat bugs, either.

When you say "insects", you mean Caterpillar?　That was better than the Black Morm.

'It's like a cow's tongue. Preconceptions get in the way and I can't do it.

I see...

Well, have at it.

Oh, I'll have to do that. Oh, come on, Renge!　That meat is mine!

The sooner the better!

Yeah. It's mine.

'Oh!　Sorte will still have his own!

It's a lively table.

How's Yashis?　Is it palatable?

'Yes, it's a little heavy, but it's very good, especially the tongue of beef I had earlier. Especially the tongue of beef I had earlier, which was very tasty.

'Oh, right. Then you can look forward to the next one.

Is there anything else?

Well, it's another way to eat beef tongue. I like it this way.

With that, I headed to the kitchen.

The vegetable I took out was a certain vegetable.

It is a thick vegetable with a green head and white flesh.

It was a thick vegetable with a green head and white flesh. It is a leek. Its official name is leeks, though.

After lightly cooking it, we peel it and put it on a bed of grilled Tan-Salt.

This is Negi Tan Shio.

One of the orthodox ways to eat tanshio, the Negi Tan Shio, is done.

Sometimes some people have a hard time turning it over by putting the green onion on top of it while grilling it before turning it over, but if you're not in a restaurant, you can easily grill the green onion first and then chop it up.

'Hoh. This is chopped negin, isn't it?

Yeah. You just roll them up like this, all together, and they're delicious.

I'll show you an example to try it out.

It's so good. This negin is so sweet.

The spiciness and sweetness of the negin goes well with the beef tongue.

It is not salted beef tongue sauce, but the flavorful ingredients from the tongue are enough to make it delicious.

Hmmm, this is good. This is delicious. I like this one better, too, because it's lighter and easier to eat.

'I have a drink to go with this, but unfortunately I don't know if it's in this world.

Hmm. What kind of drink is it?

Hmmm, it's a drink made from barley. It's a crisp, carbonated drink.

Or is it the lager of the Empire?

Do you have one?

''Yes. As I recall, it's a common drink in the Empire. Basically, there's a lot of wine in this kingdom, but in the empire there's a lot of fruit wine and lager. In the Empire, there seems to be a lot of fruit wine and lager.

Yeah. You have...

I'd want one if I knew it was there.

Hmm, I wonder if I can get one if I ask Meira.

Is the lager cold, by the way?

No, they're meant to be drunk at room temperature.

Well....

So we'll need a cooling device.

The fridge.... Can't we make it work with the water magic stone?

This is just more fun!

If we ever get a lager, let's have a drink with this one.

'Oh, thank you for the invitation. Well, I'll be happy to join you then.

Have you ever drunk Yashis?

Definitely a cold beer to drink with this.

And then there's the rice....

We are Japanese and we need rice.

But I'm sure there will be rice.

The food culture is more advanced than I thought, and if you look for it, you will find it.

Lord, another one!

We decided to go grill some more at the urging of Shiro, who had started eating Negitan Shio before we knew it.

When I looked at the table, I saw that most of it was gone before I knew it, so I decided to grill some additional meat as well.

When I came back, sure enough, the table was empty, and the four of us, except for Yashis and Wendy, were waiting eagerly to see if the meat was ready yet.

The meat is being consumed at an amazing rate the moment it's placed on the table.

Yashis takes a sip of wine and settles in.

Wendy takes my portion.

It's not bad.

I'm kind of satisfied.

The meal we all ate together was very tasty, and we were happy to be the ones who made it.

Oh, and the fat on the roses is delicious.
