338 Night before the festival ② - The night of Dalaim

After a few moments, after all the work we had done, we joined the people of the Lou family and were aiming for Dalaim.

I gave Lem-Dom some copper coins for his work, so I bought dinner from the rest of the family.

Ai-Fa has always had a strange look, but Limi-Luu, Lara-Luu, etc. have become very hazy. Neither of you will be looking forward to a night out at the Dora family. Me too, that's the same thing.

I wouldn't do it if I thought I was in the mood of Ey-Fa, who carried the end of Lem-Dom, but I'm sure Ey-Fa was willing to accept their readiness with the same mass of readiness. Then I was willing to do everything in my power to support my parents as Fa's family.

That thought is approximate, and the luggage car runs even through the darkness.

In half an hour, the sun will fall completely.

The red-purple stained fields of Dalaim were, albeit inexorably, pastoral and beautiful.

"I see. Sure, it's a landscape you can't see by the woods."

This would be the first visit, Rudd-Lou said.

Sin-Lu was on Mim Char's back with Dan Rutim, but I'm sure he's in the same mood. They and Lara-Lew were not even accompanied on their journey to Dabbag, so it was also supposed to be the first time they had ever seen a spaciously cut open earth so far.

Surrounded by such people of the Lou family, Tour-Din also mirrors the scene at dusk in his eyes, which seems very emotional.

The Lew family is in a period of rest, so anyone can easily participate. In doing so, I dared to elect Tour-Din because of my personal thoughts.

It may sound very deceptive, but I was feeling like an inner disciple about Tour-Din.

Raina-Lou and Sheila-Lou are halfway off my hands and on their own path. Besides, they live with each other in the settlement of Luu every day and are able to drill each other.

I always wanted to give Tul-din, as strong as they were and as young as ten, the best possible environment and opportunity to grow up.

"I'm half public myself, so I can't say anything very great like that. Not to mention the sweet treats."

When I asked him to accompany me this time, I tried to convey my feelings in those words, but Tour-Din made me cry.

"I can give Asta that much attention... and how should I return that favour..."

"You don't have to give me anything back! Let's keep working together so we can cook delicious food"

Still, Tour-Din cried for five minutes.

"What the hell are you doing, you!" It is also a good memory now that I was scolded by Ey-Fa.

While I was laying low on such thoughts, I could see the destination.

"Hey, I've been waiting for you, everyone by the woods."

It is the Dora family of Dalaim, which will be our second visit.

My father greeted us today with a full grin as we made our way through the fields straight to the house.

"There was a lot of work here, too. I'm sorry I invited you so late."

"I don't think so either. I apologize for pushing you at such a busy time"

It is a wooden house in a different style than a lodging house in Inn Town, etc.

The roof is straw and looks like a log house with more round-tails than a plate, but still a splendid two story building. Apparently, a large building in the bungalow next to it is a vegetable reservoir and accommodation for temporary employees.

Shortly after entering the hall, there were about six of your father's family waiting for you.

To your two sons, Tara. To your father's mother is your son, who is the brother of your deceased father, and your son's son. Father and son's wife say they are cooking dinner together.

"Wow! Limi-Lu, there you are!

I kicked a wooden chair and Tara jumped on Rimi-Lou.

Rimi-Lou smiles joyfully as well, hugging Tara's body.

"The Astas will cook a little dish, too, won't they? Everybody's hungry, thank you very much."

"Yes, I'll see you soon"

We also used Kama during the last visit. While I bowed my head to the Dora family with different expressions on my face, how long have we been away?

"Oh, there you are. Welcome far away, folks by the woods."

An elderly, slightly skinny woman looks back at us with a gentle laugh.

I've only seen you before, it's your father's wife.

The woman next door, a little older than me, will be your son's wife.

"I'm done getting ready for this one, so use it as you please. I'm going to get the pan out of the way now."

At the time you started interacting with us, your father said a lot of tough things to your family. I guess I couldn't understand at all the people of the notorious woodland and the people who live in Dalaim why I had to be that close.

But as incredible as that story was, there was no consignment in their smiles.

This is also thanks to your father and Tara for taking so long to persuade your family - and for being able to uncover the evils of the Sung and Count Turan families.

Naturally, I could get a warm feeling.

"Well, I'll borrow your kamado."

At the very least, we were supposed to serve as much food as the lid.

From me, it's Neapolitan-style pasta, and from the Lew family, it's a flavored grill of giva meat.

Cut the aria, pra and intestinal meat and pass the heat along with the ketchup-style talapa sauce kept at home. All you have to do is mix it with boiled pasta and fry as much moisture as you can fly and you're done.

Gamma cheese that has been ground shall be sprinkled after splitting onto their respective plates.

The flavored grill is still only served by Rimi-Lou and the others, who cook what has been prepared below at the Lou family: a curry-flavored flavored grill soaked in three varieties of vanilla, with accompanying vegetables Aria and Nanar.

"Are you ready? Then I'll carry it."

Along with the dishes made by his wife, he transports the wood plates to the hall where everyone waits.

Every dish was served on a large plate, and each dish was divided into small plates.

"We started inviting a lot of customers here. The missing chairs and tables rented my brother's house and pulled out the ones I threw into the storage room. Give me a break for leaning just a little bit."

My father said that to me with a brighter smile than usual.

Other people are more or less favorable. It was still the elderly mumps who seemed to have a stiff expression.

Two large tables are placed side by side in the middle of the hall. Your family occupied those two sides, so we were supposed to settle down on each side of the diagonal.

Limi-Luu and Tara will of course be next to each other in corner seats, with Ai-Fa and Tour-Din lined up on my left and right.

The hunters let the fur cloak hang on the wall, and the machete lay under it. The Dora family can't let go of the knife, and Dan-Rutim and the others take their seats. Not used to sitting in a chair, Sin-Lu seemed a lot uncomfortable, but of course he didn't say anything when he put it out in his mouth.

"Well, let's have it!... and there was a pre meal greeting by the woods. Whatever we do, get rid of it."

Today we are going to dedicate our words of gratitude with the words "Kamadu number of the Dora family".

Because the Dora family is their own house, or there is no particular word "give," they only pray silently for a moment, then take the wood plate.

"This guy smells just like him. It looks delicious."

The majority of the Dora family had split the Giva dishes without fear, sometimes for the second time.

After all, I am intrigued by the first Dareim dinner I see.

Sometimes on the eve of the holidays, they prepared more lavish dishes today than usual.

Juice dishes, stewed dishes, grilled Kimmus, salted Tino, grilled Poitan - that's all the dishes are prepared even if you just looked around all the time.

I decided to start by letting you mouth off the juice dish.

The colour of the soup is brown, and the scent is Myrmu's.

Besides, I guess the tau oil is also used because of this shade. Even the Dora family, whose nostalgia is getting a lot warmer, has heard stories about being able to buy out tau oil and sugar for a long time.

The ingredients are meat of Aria, Nennon and Kimmus, and green vegetables of unknown identity.

It's a green vegetable that I haven't dealt with in my father's shop anyway, like I've seen somewhere before. When I first spoken it from him, the honest taste of the slightly bitter green vegetables spread.

"Oh, that's a Nennon leaf. It's not for sale because it snaps in half a day from the stem, but it's important food for us."

"I see. That's useful."

Its texture and slight bitterness were quite a nice accent when mouthed with thinly torn Kimmus meat, aria, etc.

The soup is only seasoned with salt and tau oil, but it has a relieved and rustic taste.

And it is Nennon.

When I caught him without any thought, I was stunned by the unexpected texture and taste.

Nennon is a very similar ingredient to carrots.

but this was a firmer bite than I know of Nenon, and the sweetness was condensed.

As for the texture, it could be close to a cinnachik.

When you bite it off, the sweetness of Nennon and the others spreads through your mouth.

Geneon, who usually attracts other ingredients as a famous sidekick, seemed to release the most definite presence in this juice.

"Um, is this using any special eneons?

When I asked unexpectedly, my wife smiled as if she hadn't said no.

"He's a Nennon who's scratched and can no longer be sold. That kind of Nennon rots faster than other vegetables, so I try to dry it and store it in the sun."

"Well, does Nennon change like this when he dries?"

This was a new discovery.

If I put it back in the water and this texture, I wonder how carefully it was dried and hardened. It seemed to me that this would open up new avenues, not just for juice, but also for stir-fry.

(That's a vegetable house. This guy's getting excited)

Next is the stewed dish.

Caron's foot meat was used for this, sorry, and the vegetables were chatchy and pra.

However, the broth is dark red and purple with a sweet and sour berry aroma.

This was simmered with crushed arrow fruit.

Arrow is a fruit like the middle between strawberries and blueberries.

However, because the sugar content is low, sugar and honey must be added when used in confectionery, etc.

Neither of them was used in this dish, so it was just sour.

Nevertheless, it is not such an inexpensive ingredient, so I guess a large amount is not used either for the shade. It has quite a unique flavour, combined with the saltiness of salted meat.

Until a little while ago, Dareim didn't use seasonings other than salt. For such people of Dalaim, it is presumed that the aromatic and flavorful Myrmu and Alou and Tarapa were the important colors of the dish.

(Besides, outside of Castle Town, I wasn't in the habit of eating sweet treats, so I guess this is how fruits like arrows and seals were usually used in cooking)

With that in mind, Lara-Lew suddenly said, "Ah!" He shouted out loud.

"Why are you putting in such a big pra, Chibi Limi! You know I don't like pra -!?

"What? You said your mother Mia Ray shouldn't choose any vegetables. I'm eating Rudd, so I'm eating Lara."

"I eat, but I'm telling you you don't have to put a big one like this in!

"'Cause I didn't see a tinier pra than that,"

A pra is a vegetable that tastes like a pepper, shaped like a thick eel. It is true that in this simmering dish of arrows, the pra was offered in a magnificent size that was only broken in half.

I wandered off to a friendly sisters interaction that was not too far-fetched, but your father's wife was laughing "oh".

"You don't like pla? I'm with Tara."

But Tara was just cheeky with that big pra.

"Mom's cooking pras aren't too bitter, are they? Try Lara-Luu, too."

Lara-Luu turned into a bit of a squeaky face, taking a glimpse of the neighbor Sin-Luu before hitting on the meaty pra as he solidified his readiness.

"... that? Not too bitter......"

"Don't you? The more you cut the plum, the more bitter it will taste. I don't hate it, but little kids hate bitter vegetables."

It is true that peppers also change the degree of bitterness so much by cutting vertically or horizontally. Cutting against the flow of fiber strengthens bitterness and flavor.

"Did Lara-Lew not like the pra? I'm not even a little kid, but it's weird."

Sin-Lu, who spoke that way, only slightly frowned, perhaps even kicked him in the foot under the table.

"... are you mad? I didn't mean to offend Lara-Lew."

"Shut up! Shut up and eat your food!

Your sons and wives were laughing freakishly dull.

While I stroke my chest that Lara-Lew's honesty didn't turn me on, I face the next dish.

It is the meat dish of the last big man, Kimmus.

Kimmus breasts, cut with considerable thickness, are loaded with denim on a large plate. The meat itself had no finesse whatsoever, and it seemed to be the Dareim-style method to eat this, along with a dip of vegetables, by waxing it with hot Tino leaves.

Even when it comes to dips, creams and the like are not used. It is a red and green thickened sauce with chopped vegetables condensed with tau oil, sugar and seal juice.

The vegetables would be around Tarapa, Aria and Nennon. None of them had been put through the fire, so the acidity of Tarapa and Aria's spiciness were quite exciting.

In the days when I had not purchased tau oil or sugar, were they only refined with the fruit juice of the seal?

That's just enough flavor, but the dish I'm talking about was rustic but delicious enough.

Since the meat of Kimmus is weak in its claim, the taste of vegetables seems to occupy a considerable proportion.

It should be noted that the one called the salting of Tino was also quite tasty.

It is the hard core part that is used, but as it is only slightly soggy, the more good the tooth remains in the center.

It also has a strong acidity, so I guess it's soaked for as long as it ferments. Perfect side dish for chopsticks.

And then the baked poiton was refined with boiled aria.

It's not minced, it's finely chopped, and there's no denying that it's too assertive, but the spiciness is completely gone because the heat is passing through before it's condensed. The presence of the Dora family was also felt positive if they became the people of the Dora family and ate it on juice and simmering juice.

"Hey, every dish is delicious. Anyway, the vegetables are fresh, which makes me happy"

"You don't have to worry about that. I don't think I can satisfy the Astas that much, either."

"That's not true. It's so creative that you can't think of it for yourself that you'll learn so much."

"Yeah, but tau oil and sugar aren't hard to handle after all. I use it roughly every day because when I use it poorly, it's a hell of a thing."

And that's what he said as his wife smiled more lightly.

With that in mind, Lara-Lew said, "Hmm?" and lean his little neck.

"Then why don't you don't mix it in the dishes and try to hang it later? I used to burn meat and tau oil as soon as I cooked them together, so that's how I tasted for a while."

"Oh, that might be a good idea. The taste is intense when the tau oil is intact, making it easier to use even after hanging it when diluted with water. Plus, if you mix sugar or chopped meermoo, you can enjoy different delicacies again."

When I added that, "I see," your father broke his face.

"I'm pretty sure what Asta and the others are saying! We can cook so much delicious with our vegetables."

Apparently, your father was very fond of Napolitan pasta.

Your sons, who were taught how to eat it, also look at it with amazement as they carry three wooden spoons wrapped around the pasta in their mouths with clumsy hands.

"Are you using the tarapa we bought? I can't believe it."

"That's a mixture of Aria and Myrmu in Tarapa and also the chit fruit and simmered together, isn't it? Seasonings are also made with salt, sugar, pico leaves, and mammalian vinegar."

"Oh, is it so tasty because that's all the hassle? Then you can't exactly imitate it."

"No, but if you can't even make the right amount, anyone can make it. I don't use ingredients that are more expensive than sugar."

By my own words, I got one flash.

"If you like, can I tell you how much it is and how to make it? This is delicious just by hanging it on roasted meats and vegetables, and if you fry it together, it will taste like this. And I think it goes well with the roasted eggs."

"Yeah? But it's bad to let Asta go through all that trouble. The innkeepers are paying Asta to cook, right?

Dora's father said so, but I let him shake his head "no".

"That's not cooking, that's how you make condiments. It makes me wonder if it would be too thick to imitate a person's home as a cooking guide, but I would be very happy to use that seasoning to make delicious dishes."

"Hmm, but hey..."

"And then Yumi sells a dish called okonomiyaki in the street, right? I think the sauce used in that and the seasoning called mayonnaise can also be used for a variety of dishes. That's because it's not that hard to make, and it's delicious to just hang it later on the dish you made, so it's very easy, right?

Dad looked back at my face as he lowered his brow butt.

"Are you sure it doesn't bother Asta?

"Of course it is. You always give priority to our shop and prepare vegetables, so let me repay you something."

That is why, when visiting this house again in four days' time, it was promised here to teach them how to make ketchup, sauce and mayonnaise.

As a thank you for welcoming me like this, I guess I haven't had enough yet.

After one word of gratitude, Dad looked back at the seat next to him.

"So, when are your mothers gonna get their hands on Giva's meat? How did you not prepare yourself?

"Hmm. I don't remember making that decision."

And Tara's grandmother, who was quietly rinsing the juice, said back to her father with a thick voice.

"Even if all the sinners by the woods are caught, it doesn't make any difference that Gibba is a horrible beast. I don't know why I have to thank you for that meat."

"How could that be because Giva's meat is delicious? I don't need any more reasons."

My father smiles bitterly, but also looks at the other old man, who is quietly silent.

"My uncle has a grudge against Gibba. Then why don't you eat that meat and clear up your grudges? Keep Gibba's meat in your belly until it's full of ravaged vegetables."

As such, you reluctantly put your hands on the wooden spoons and wooden skewers, but it was difficult to get a dissatisfied voice that was "crunchy slippery and difficult to eat" and "spicy and very inedible".

"I can't help it, I'm already... Asta, I'm sorry, but the next time I come, I'm gonna ask you to cook something that will make these old people say,"

"Towards my real mother, what a grace."

You look very sinister.

But the old men of Dareim, who had a great sense of repentance for both the people of the woods and Gibba, thus allowed us to be present at the table, and carried the dish to their mouths.

For the sake of further mutual understanding, I was also at my disposal.

"Then this next time, you should prepare Giva's abalone meat! I can't believe I'm not buying that!

And, suddenly, Dan-Rutim laughed.

The old man looks up at you like a frigid smell.

"Gibba is such a powerful beast! Eat that meat and you can gain unbeatable power over Gibba too! You guys have worked very hard and will continue to make delicious vegetables! No matter how delicious Giva's meat is, it's hard to live healthy without vegetables!

"Oh. We can take care of the field with peace of mind because you're putting up your bodies and hunting for Gibba. Don't be ashamed of yourselves, we'll do our job."

It wasn't your father who answered that, it was your son up there.

Cutting it off, your son's wife spoke to Lara-Luu and Tour-Din, and your younger son spoke to Sin-Luu, and the dining table began to show a slight appearance.

After that, the plug of fruit liquor that we brought as a souvenir is removed, making it so busy.

More often than not, Tara was joyfully colluding with Limi-Luu and Rudd-Lu, and even her father and wife waved the subject to Ai-Fa, who tended to be oligarchy in such a setting.

Just like that night when I invited my dads to the woods, those sights somehow clogged my chest.

He says he wants to join Yun-Sudra and Raina-Lu on the next occasion, as well as Yumi. As the circle of interaction widens and deepens, the entrenched indulgence lying between the woodland and Genos will also be eliminated one by one.

I could feel that way, looking around at everyone who surrounded the table looking fun.

◇

After dinner, we were given a bedroom.

but even the Dora family, which has quite a size, can't have that many extra rooms. One bedroom at a time was to be prepared for men and women, and Tara's bedding was also to be brought into the women's room.

"Bye, Ai-Fa. I know it's never gonna be as crazy as it was when Doug, but I asked for the remis, didn't I?

With such Rudd-Lou's words, everyone disappears into the room.

The last thing left was me and I-Fa, as I said.

Under the moonlight I plug through the window, I lead to the wooden wall.

Ai-Fa also formed next door, breathing much smaller.

"It's been a very hasty day."

"Yeah. So tomorrow, I guess it's more rushed than today"

Tomorrow morning it will be "Gibba's Whole Grill," and from noon it will also interrupt the preparation of street and inn dishes, the opening of stalls at night and the tent of "One Seat of the Gamleys" if there is leeway. It is a rush worthy of the first day of the festival.

"Were the women of Baim from the day after tomorrow?"

"Yeah."

"Well, it's only tomorrow if I help you with the stall."

Ai-Fa had a very quiet face.

I think I might have had the same look.

"It was a lot of fun working in the stalls with I-Fa."

"Uhm."

"I'd be glad if you could help me again during the rest period or something, within the limits of my training."

"... right," Ai-Fa said, flattering his mouth.

"I don't spend a whole day training, so I can help out with some of it. … I was also out-of-the-box, there was nothing not fun"

"Oh well. That's more than anything."

"Hmmm.... well, you're standing there by the way, so it seems natural"

The look on Ai-Fa's face is very gracious.

Even now, I didn't think it was me who had extra meat on it because of the lack of training, etc., but still a little, somehow - I felt like I looked more like a normal girl meow than before.

It was originally an eye-fa that was more attractive than enough as a woman, but if you stay away from your strained life as a hunter and forbid your muscular workouts as well, is it something that would cause such a change in hormonal balance or something?

(I wonder, then, if... if I'd stopped working as a hunter altogether, Vina-Lou Nami's pheromones would be flooded or something)

But such an eye-fa was even hard to imagine.

Besides, in any state, I-Fa is I-Fa, and what fascinated me was Rin EI-Fa, who has exceptional power as a hunter.

Both Ai-Fa, who burns his eyes like a bobcat and faces difficulties, and Ai-Fa, who smiles so tenderly, are loving to me.

With that in mind, I stared back into Ai-Fa's eyes.

"... it will take another half month or so from there to fully regain his power as a hunter in about ten days to heal his injuries. Don't be after Lem-Dom."

Ai-Fa continued in a quiet tone that way.

"Needless to say, I am thinking of squeezing all the power of this self and relative to Rem-Dom"

"Yeah. Of course I guess that's the only way to do it"

"Uhm.... but even if Lem-Dom is shut down the path of living as a hunter, it's all about living as a woodland woman. It's just... unfortunate."

Ey-Fa frowned as if he was just a little cut, with a soft smile on his mouth.

"I can live as a hunter and I think I'm sincerely happy. But... living right as a bunch of women must be just as happy."

"Yeah."

"I was able to think that way because I was able to meet you"

That being said, Ai-Fa took his back off the wall.

"No matter how you fall, Rem-Dom can live a happy life. So don't worry, I'll crawl that rough guy to the ground."

"You don't look good with such rough words today, Ai-Fa"

Ey-fa leaned down his little neck, and then returned the blemishes.

"Okay, let's just say we rest. You need to heal your fatigue, Asta."

"Yeah, good night, Ai-Fa"

That hasty day thus ended only quietly and secretly at the end.

Tomorrow, finally, is the dawn of the Sun God's Easter.

I only glanced at Ai-Fa one last time before pulling open the door to the bedroom where the Rudd-Lou's were waiting.
