82 # 77 Vegetables, saltwater fish and rabbit meat.txt (1/2)

I didn't have to cook a meal, but I ended up not having any ingredients, so I went shopping with Lily and the others. Hephaistos is also going to the Blacksmithing Guild to collect the tools needed for blacksmithing, so I decided to show him around.

I send Hephaistos to the Blacksmithing Guild and start shopping.

The first thing we found was a grocery store. A young woman was working as a clerk.

''Welcome. What can I do for you?''

Yes. I need to show you some different vegetables.

'I'm sorry. We don't have much variety at the moment. What we do have are potatoes and carrots.

Appraisal.

Potatoes: Rarity 2 Food Item Quality E-

A perennial plant in the eggplant family. It is eaten for food as a type of potato.

The skin layer, buds and fruit are poisonous, so be careful.

Potatoes are known to be poisonous. I've heard that they aren't very toxic, but you have to peel and blanch them thoroughly. It's the first time I knew it was an eggplant.

Carrots: rarity level 2 food item quality E-

A biennial plant in the Apiaceae family. It has a strong sweet taste and the roots are mainly eaten, but the leaves can be eaten as well.

Carrots are more conscious of the roots, but the leaves are also eaten in tempura and other dishes. Apparently they can be eaten in this game too, and if I can get some oil, I'd like to make some.

Potatoes and carrots...I could make a curry, but I don't have any spices. But potatoes and carrots are a great all-rounder. It's worth the effort.

”Now, I'll have six potatoes and carrots, please.

Thank you. All in all, that's 600g.

50 Gs apiece. Nice price. We could have bought more, but we're more of a meat eater. I'm curious to see what Setia will make, but to be honest, I haven't decided yet. If there's something I'd like to make, I have it.

The next thing we found was the butcher shop Lily was waiting for. The waitress is a middle-aged man.

Come on!　Can I get you something to eat?

'Yes. Can I see what kind of meat you have in mind?

”Sure!　Take your time choosing!

The butcher had boer meat, rabbit meat, and lamb. Appraisal.

Rabbit Meat: Rare Level 2 Food Item Quality E-

Meat from rabbits. It has a strong blood flavor and is surprisingly sweet.

Lamb: Rare Level 3 Food Item Quality D-.

Meat from sheep. The meat is soft and not peculiar.

Hmm. That lamb, it's still meat, isn't it? I've never seen this kind of meat before in my life, but it's rock solid. Naturally, the price was astonishing.

Boa meat was 10g each, rabbit was 500g and lamb was 1000g.

That's what Genghis Khan is famous for in real life. And rabbit meat is not known, but it exists. When I was working at a barbecue restaurant, the manager said it was very popular.

He said that in the days when there was no beef, they used rabbit meat for sukiyaki. Apparently it had no odor, had a more robust flavor than chicken, was tender and very tasty.

We couldn't buy lamb, so we bought rabbit.

I'll have six pieces of rabbit.

Always, 3,000 Gs.

I've never cooked rabbit meat before either. I'm looking forward to it. And Lilly is looking forward to it even more than I am. I try to leave early, but Aeon is staring at me. I don't want to miss the fish. I have every right to be angry.

So we end up at the fish store. The manager is a young man.

Welcome!　There's some live fish in there.

What kind of fish do you have?

There's herring and scorpions.

What?

Is there an ocean nearby?

'Oh!　You can tell a sea fish by its name. Big brother. That's right, and if you go through the north gate, you'll reach the ocean.

This one has to go, but the problem is that we don't have a lot of underwater strength. I'll appraise it for now.
