Chapter 71
Ch 70 Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi
I decided to prepare a meal when we got out of the cave . Because I fried some pork cutlets yesterday, I wanted to eat 'that' . Since it would take some time to cook I decided to offer deep fried pork cutlets to Fer and Sui first .
"There is something I want to make but it'll take a while to cook so please eat this while I get it ready . "
"What are you going to make? Is it delicious?" Fer inquired .
"It will be super delicious . I guarantee you'll enjoy the taste . " I replied, somewhat offended at his lack of faith in my cooking skills .
"Well, you do not have to say that much . " It was sort of an apology, quite something from Fer . "I'm looking forward to it . " he finished .
"Are we going eat delicious food-? " Sui interjected .
"That's what we're going to do, but it will take some time to cook so eat this right now . "
"Well, Sui will wait for you-"
Right, let's get cooking . The other two spent their time eating fried pork cutlets .
So the meal plan today is katsudon . I wanted to eat lots of katsudon with runny eggs and sweet-sour soup stock . First I needed the ingredients . I bought onions and seasonings to use for soup stock as well as rice and eggs on the Net Super .
I started by cooking rice . I washed the rice and started it cooking it in the pot . After slicing the onions thinly, I made soup stock . The package soup stock is almost as good as when I make it from scratch . I've tried using different soups like soba noodle stock and the like but this is the best one in my opinion .
I broke the eggs and mixed them lightly, being careful not to make them too consistent . I like it when the yolk and white are a bit separate .
While the rice was cooking and steaming, I added dashi soy sauce, sweet sake, sugar and onions to the frying pan and put it on the stove .
The onions were boiled in the soup stock until they became translucent and then I added the pork cutlets . I boiled them for a while to let the soup penetrate into the cutlets and then I added half the eggs . I continued to cook the dish until the eggs start to solidify and then I turned the heat off and added the rest of the eggs, letting them cook from the residual heat . After that the katsudon was completed by putting it on a layer of cooked rice topped with runny eggs and sweet soup .
"The katsudon's ready . " I announce .
"What's this . . . Mmmm, this is delicious . The egg is mixed with the Orc General meat and it tastes really good . " Fer gobbled the katsudon in his usual rush . Yeah yeah, of course it's delicious .
"It's delicious, the meat and runny eggs are delicious-" Sui agreed . So Sui also thinks it's delicious? Excellent . This rice bowl dish was not a failure .
Well, it's time for me to eat too . With a rice bowl dish and especially something like katsudon, you want tea to refresh your mouth so I purchased a PET bottle of tea from the Net Super . So what's katsudon like after such a long time without? Well, the mixture of eggs and sweet juice soup is the best and having rice underneath to soak up the juices just adds to the flavour . It's delicious, just as I anticipated .
Glug- I take a big drink of tea . The inside of my mouth is refreshed, then more katsudon, working my way down through the bowl's contents .
"Seconds here . " demanded Fer .
"Sui too-"
That was quick . "Here you go . " I piled more katsudon in front of the two gluttons . Both of them started eating again .
I didn't eat fried cutlets earlier like the other two so having some more katsudon myself will be OK . I started to eat, finishing off the remaining katsudon before it got cold even though I think it's still quite tasty even when it cools down .
*munch**munch**munch* . . . Fuuu- I ate it all . I gulped more tea to rinse the fat from my mouth .
"Aruji-" Sui interjected .
"What is it, Sui, are you wanting more?""No, I'm full . Hey, is that green drink delicious?-"
"Oh? It's tea, would you like to have a drink?"
"Yeah, I'll drink some-"
I put a little tea in an empty dish and offered it to Sui .
"Oh, this, bitter . Not delicious . Sui doesn't like this, peh peh-"
Odd, Sui will eat pretty much anything (even other-world garbage) but somehow she doesn't like the bitter taste of tea . Well if you can't cope with bitterness . . . How about this then? I bought some cola at the Net Super .
"Sui, how about this?" I poured some cola into the dish .
"This isn't bitter?- " Oh my dear Sui, how can you be so suspicious of me?
"No it's not bitter, it's sweet, honest!" I was hurt . Sui put a little tentacle into the cola hesitantly . "Wow! ! !-" Apparently she thought it was delicious as the cola in the dish disappeared instantly .
"Wow, this is-, please give me more!-" I poured more cola into the dish for her . *glug**glug**glug*
"This is sweet and sweet and delicious -" I added yet more cola to her dish . *glug**glug**glug*
"Is that stuff delicious? Let me drink it too . " Fer said so I poured some cola on a dish for him .
"Gulp . . . . Nuku, what is it, this is strange, it prickles on my tongue . " Fer was surprised by the carbonation bubbles .
"Gulp, gulp . Well, my first time drinking this is not unpleasant . To think there are such mysterious drinks in the other world . "
Fer and Sui both seemed to like cola, they drank a 1 . 5 litre bottle each .
"Well, we should be heading back to the city soon . "
"Right, let's go . " Fer agreed .
"Let's go back, Sui . " I said . Sui got into her bag, I climbed on Fer's back and we started on our way back to the city .
