11.
In the lodge, There was a stone basement called underground food storehouse.
Among the hemp sacks placed randomly, there is rice. Grains of rice on paddy stalk. A rice… maybe.
“Need some help?”
Bryce-kun called out to me, who is moving around looking for something.
“Thank you. Ano, How you make a bread from this?”
It is my first time to see Grains of rice on paddy stalk.
Bryce pulled out the grains with a tool that I didn’t know. Then, bring it to a place like a mortar.
“S-stop!, stop!”
I see. Stinky. That’s because it’s not polished but used as it is! It smells and taste bad!
Polishing rice. I did this at elementary school class. Put the rice in a bottle and stick it. Zakuzaku.( Crunchy SFX?)
It was a work of children in old Japan. Actually, it seems to me. During wartime precious rice was certainly carefully polished in the bottle. There’s no way doing a work that takes hours everyday. In fact, people in old days make themselves a stone mills like. dropped a sticks on pots of rice grains and polished a lot at once.
Put brown rice in a pot that looks sturdy. From above, I drop a little heavy stick that I don't know what it's for.
“Big Sis, What are you doing? “
“When it is done, bad wheat turns into delicious rice”
“Seriously? I will do it!”
Kurtz accepts physical strength work. I thought, is this alright? but I remember his appearance when climbing. He is stronger than me physically.
“Well, may I ask a favor?”
Meanwhile, confirm kitchen facilities. Bryce-kun is an explanatory role.
“Water comes out from there”
It is not like coming from the river. There is a pump. Im relieved.
“Do I have to take firewood in the forest?”
Really? Apart from going to take a long time to burn, the smoke from burning a living tree will be amazing. I wonder if I can properly distinguish it…
I have cooking using firewood at campsite so stove is okay. Im relieved when I think I’ve done it.
“If you want a fire magic stone. You can exchange it for one potion, it’s small but enough to use for about 3 days.”
And pointing to the vending machine.
“Magic stone of fire?”
Wow! It’s fantasy!
There is a small dent next to the place where the pot in the stove is placed. It seems to be used there.
One piece of potion! also very economical to use for three days! This is better than absolute firewood! But…There is no Potion!
I used them all yesterday.
That’s right.
“Bryce [Contract : Lend me 1 Potion with equal repayment]"
Is this OK?
“OK. [Contract Acknowledged]”
When Bryce says Contract Acknowledged, about a palm of orange light appeared, and it was sucked in by me and Bryce’s forehead.
Wow, fantasy!
After putting the potion brought by bryce in the vending machine and saying “fire magic stone”, red stone came rolling out from the same place as the bread came out. All right!
I received polished rice from Kurt’s hand. Move it to the pot as it is, While washing the rice I thought, I can also make rice bran pickles if I save the bran too. Nutrients rise when vegetables are pickled in rice bran. However, I wonder if it fits the mouth of a child … Besides that, I know how to make it, but I never tried to make it
"That? Bad wheat turn white!"
“The cause of smell and bad taste is this brown things, so it would not be bad if you make bread after this”
“Awesome, Big Sister amazing!”
“Really?”
“Well, We can not make bread yet but we can make it as a powder and make petapan”
TLN: ペタパン/Petapan is flat bread. Like… petanko???
Petapane seems to only be kneaded and baked. Like Naan bread right?
“Wait, do not powder it! Let me cook it!”
Rescue the rice from a place that can be called a mortar.
Put rice in a pot and rinse it three times with water.
Then add water and go to the stove!. Begin with a little chill . When a loud noise come out, Do not take off the lid!
TLN: I lost at "Begin with a little chill"/ はじめちょろちょろ中ぱっぱ。/ Hajime chorochoro chū pappa ???? what is it means????
“Adjustment of fire can be done there"
Even though it is a stove, super convenience! I mean, shouldn’t I cook delicious rice with this stove?
Nonetheless, the lid of the pot is not like rice cooker. It’s loose. Let’s prepare some thick lid.
“It should be done about 30 minutes. Everyone please eat it. However, there are no side dishes and no salt …"
Rice, it is said to be sweet.
“Well, in the meantime let’s prepare for today.”
Everyone responded cheerfully to Bryce words.
