143 Kojiro, quit the swordsman (1/2)

Looking at Kojiro's sword, you can see that it is beautiful and carefully cared for. While saying that I don't like work or want to quit, these places are surprisingly decent.

I temporarily sterilize the sword with boiling water made by magic.

After that, we will start processing immediately.

First, put a kitchen knife in the head of the eel and cut the bone. The eel with a good stew is still a bit rampage, so put the eel into a bowl with ice water.

”Is putting in ice water to weaken the eel without damaging it?”

”Yes, that's right, because the eels are fine. I'll wait until I grow up like this.”

”Okay, the fifth!”

While explaining to Kojiro, Rumba diving in the river caught a fish and put it in a basket.

It is something that can be caught with so many pompons and hand grips.

Perumba is not satisfied with the five fish, and swimming resumes as soon as the fish is put in the basket.

I and Kojiro are preparing for the fish that Rumba has caught, using the waiting time that is weakening the eel.

I create a kind of fire with fire magic, and adjust the heat using dry branches and wood chips.

Kojiro was sharpening the branches with a familiar hand and was doing skewers.

As I look at the situation, Kojiro speaks out with a proud expression.

”When you open your mouth this way, it's easier to drain your head. And can this fish be crushed by the gall bladder near Ella to reduce unnecessary bitterness?”

”Hey, that's right.”

I knew that opening my mouth would easily drain my head, but I didn't know about the gallbladder.

Is it possible to reduce bitterness by crushing such parts?

When Rumba was processing the fish caught, I was able to kill time.

When I went to check the bowl, the eel was completely matured, so I started processing.

Put a kitchen knife on the belly and carefully remove the internal organs. After that, put the eel in hot water just before boiling and wait for about 10 seconds.

”... something white has come up?”

”It's the eel slime component. It's said to be the cause of the smell.”

If white slime floats in hot water, cool eel once.

Then slide the knife on the cutting board and remove the remaining slime. A big eel is a little tough because it has a lot of slime, but this eel is small and not a lot of effort.

After the slime removal is almost finished, fix the head with a soil magic stake and spill eel at a stretch.

”Oh, flattening a soft eel doesn't do anything dexterous ...”

”Did you never open this way?”

”When I tried it, it was a round slice. I don't think I'd cut a slimy thing like that.”

Sure, you probably don't usually think of trying to handle slender and slimy fish like this.

While thinking about such things, I carefully remove the small bones.

When you eat fluffy flesh, it is disturbing if there is a bone in your mouth.

Once the bones have been removed to some extent, turn them over and make a cut in the skin.

”I understand that you remove fine bones, but what is the meaning of this cut? Is it to make soup and sauce soak like boiled food?”

”This will keep the skin from shrinking when it's baked, and when it's baked, the fat will come out of the holes and become crispy. The crispy outside and the fluffy inside look delicious.”

”I see. I can't stand it ...”

Did you imagine what happened when you baked it? Kojiro muttered as he looked up at the sky.

When the process is over, skewer the cut meat to the right size.

”... If you stab it properly, it shrinks when it is baked, so the skewers turn in different directions. If you do this, you will get distorted or the skewer will come off.”

”It's not just about skewering properly.”

”It's been said that it's been three years for skewers, five years for splitting, and a lifetime for grilling.”

”Eels are too deep ...”

Because there are only eel cooks. It's a fine craftsman.

When the skewer is finished, I make a box that is easy for eels to ride. Put branches and so on in the same way and put the eel on the skewer.

”I'd really like to use charcoal or a net, but it's not.”

”Well, it's instant.”

I nodded to Takaage whether Kojiro was convinced there.

If you use space magic, you can take it out of the subspace, but you can't really show it.

However, there is nothing we can do about sauces, so we take out special sauces with space magic.

Because the sauce is subdivided so that you can take it out of your pocket in this way.

If you can get soy sauce, you can easily make sauce. Since the base is the same, other sukiyaki style, meat and potato style are also available.

”The rest is based on soy sauce, and you can bake it with this special sauce.”

”Hey !? I took it out of my pocket casually, but are you always carrying sauce !?”

Speaking of nature, I thought that I wouldn't mind, but it was no good.

When I put out a special sauce jar from my pocket, Kojiro makes a surprise voice.

”I'm completely into Kagura's soy sauce. I wanted to try it out.”

”I see. Well, some of my friends like things that are very seasoned and always carry special soy sauce.”

Yes, it's fine to think that foreigners are addicted to carrying or that kind of race.

If you bite a lie and convince Kojiro, I will add the sauce to the eel and bake it repeatedly.

The sauce is baked, and every time the dripping fat or sauce falls on the fire, a sizzling sound rises. Along with that, the fragrant smell of sauce is sprinkled.

”Mom! I smell something good!”

”That's true. It smells really good. Is there anyone grilling fish there?”

The Kagra people who happened to pass by the riverside are walking, worried about us.
