Chapter 11: Eating rice in another world

Michaela-san had claimed that the “Vaulting Horse Pavilion” could house Feru too.

Nevertheless, the price of 1 night including a Familiar would be a whopping 7 silver coins.

My wallet is rapidly becoming lonely.

Feru had been told to go to the Beast Hut under the building and thus went in that direction.

[Oi, I endured throughout the afternoon but, I’m quite hungry now.]

Now that you said it, we really didn’t eat anything for lunch.

It’s because Feru didn’t ask for food.

It might be that Feru is behaving very uncharacteristically.

“My bad my bad. Then I shall make dinner quickly.”

I’m right in front of the beast hut but, even though Feru is the only familiar staying here, it should be alright to cook here.

Subsequently, it is also my turn to eat.

Since I had the red boar meat that Iron Will gave me, the menu for today was steak.

I thought it will be okay if Feru’s steak was cut thickly.

And for my dinner, I was really in the mood to eat that.

That which I desire is rice.

However, I only had one gas stove.

Cooking rice would take quite some time … Un~, what shall I do.

Tomorrow would be the day I sell salt and spices to the merchant guild. Therefore, I need to prepare by procuring those. I antic.i.p.ate that I will receive a sum of money from the transaction and it is not a troublesome item either so should I buy it?

My wallet might be getting lonelier but I really wanna eat rice.

So with that logic, I activated the Online Supermarket to buy rice, a clay-pot and a gas stove. Also, I bought 5 kilograms of salt and 100 grams of spices.

The total cost was about 8 silver coins.

My wallet is getting empty so I am looking forward to tomorrow’s trade.

Let’s start cooking then.

First, I need to soak the rice in water for around 30 minutes.

In those 30 minutes, I would settle Feru’s steak.

I poured some salt and spice over the red boar meat and grilled both sides of the meat on a frying pan.

Its medium rare but it should be fine.

I poured some soy sauce over and placed the steak on a plate. It’s completed.

“Here, Feru.”

Pa.s.sing it over to the hungry Feru, the entire steak was chomped down immediately.

That was very thick though.

[Delicious. Gimme more.]

For the sake of Feru, I grilled the steak on the plate.

This is the soy sauce for the next steak.

“Here.”

[Chomp chomp, mu, this has a different taste. I still like it though.]

Fufu, he realised huh.

I used a variety of soy sauces, therefore it had a mixed taste.

The sauce I was using initially had a garlic flavour but the next one has an Oros.h.i.+ Grated Radish flavour.

It’s really convenient to carry around steak soy sauce.

Frying it together with vegetables would make it tasty, or I could fry garlic soy sauce with rice.

Steak sauces like yakiniku and teriyaki Tare sauce are very handy and I consider them as treasure back at home, so I stocked up on all sorts of them from the Internet Supermarket before setting off on the journey.

Continuing with the grilling of steak for Feru.

Now, it will be onion flavour and after that is b.u.t.ter flavour.

Oh right, it’s about time to cook my rice.

Placing the clay pot over the stove, I slightly increased the strength of the fire to medium level. After boiling for 10 minutes, it will be heated under a weak flame for 5 minutes. Finally, the fire will be extinguished to allow it to cook by steaming for another 20 minutes.
