105-Episode 2: The assassin cooks the best food




 The next evening, I was in the kitchen.
 Making a feast to celebrate the new family.

'Master Roug, I would like a taste of the stew, please.
Add a little more salt, please.
Okay.

I'll leave the finishing touches on the stew and salad to the tart, and I'll put away the wild boar and lunanmas.
 The wild boar had been marinated the day before in a fruit juice that contained odor-eliminating spices and enzymes to tenderize the meat, and had been specially cooked since noon.
 The part of the meat used is a loin with little fat, and the muscles have been thoroughly removed.
 Since it was fed to pregnant women, they were very careful about hygiene.
 After the meat was thoroughly cleaned, it was sterilized under high pressure using wind magic and frozen using water magic to prevent parasites.
 And yesterday I said I was going to chop up the meat, but I'm not going to let him eat raw meat.
 I'm going to try out the new cookware.

''That's a strange pot, isn't it?''
It's called a low-temperature cooker. That's pretty handy.

The most advanced cookware of my time.
 It has been scientifically proven that the ideal temperature for cooking meat is around 60 degrees Celsius, which increases the flavor and keeps the meat from becoming hard.
 By heating the meat at a low temperature of around 60 degrees Celsius for a long period of time, it is possible to achieve both flavor and tenderness at the same time.
 However, it is also a method that takes a lot of patience and time.
 This time, I needed to heat it for five hours while keeping the temperature at 60 degrees Celsius to make tataki (wild boar).

He couldn't do such a thing by hand.
 Therefore, I'll use the technology made possible by analyzing the 【Divine Weapon】. By carving a magic formula into the substance and using the foul stone as a power source, he made a pot that would automatically keep the magic formula in effect.
 And this cooking is also an endurance test to keep the magic tool in continuous use for a long time.
 The low-temperature cooker is filled with water, and the vacuum-packed boar meat is taken out of the water.
 Seasoning liquid and spices were poured into the vacuum pack along with the meat.
 The meat had been heated together for five hours and it was well seasoned.

'Alright, perfect. .........It is a good thing to know that the accuracy of the magic tools will not be adversely affected even if they are used for a long time. Let's finish up.

I take out my old hobby of making a shichirin.
 The coals are on fire and the netting is hot.
 The boar meat is cut into sticks and the surface of the boar is grilled by rolling it around with the shichirin.
 Since it is fully cooked inside, it is only seared to add flavor.
 Once that is done, it is cut into thicker pieces. The low-temperature cooked meat is tender, and the enzymes in the fruit make it even more tender. So it's easy to bite through thicker cuts.

「うわぁ、綺麗な薄ピンク色です。美味しそう」
「うまいぞ。一切れ食べてみろ」

ローストビーフで一番うまい芯のロゼになった部分。
 俺が作ったイノシシのたたきは焼いた表面以外すべてがその状態になっている。
 これが低温調理器の威力。

「甘くて、柔らかくて、頬が落ちちゃいそうです。これがイノシシのたたきなんですね」
「ああ、時間がかかるから滅多に作れないんだが、苦労に見合う価値がある。仕上げを頼む」
「はいっ!」

このカットした肉をサラダの上に並べて、最後に特製ポン酢をかける。たたきにはあっさりしたポン酢がよくあうのだ。
 そして、いよいよ今日のメインに取り掛かる。

「やっぱり、初心者にこの匂いはきついよな」

糠からルナンマスを取り出す。
 糠臭さと若干の発酵臭がする。
 ……慣れると気にならないが、やはり初見のものにはきついだろう。
 そのルナンマスをよく洗って糠を落とし、切れ目を入れてから、塩を塗り込んで、ハーブと一緒に濡らした紙で包んで、蒸し器へ。

「蒸す前に紙で包むのってどういう意味があるんですか?」
「紙で包むと魚のエキスが逃げなくて瑞々しい仕上がりになるのと、臭い消しに使ってるハーブの香りがよく移る」
「それなら糠の臭さが消えそうです」
「まだまだ、これからだよ」

紙を使った蒸し魚は奉書焼きと呼ばれる和の技法。
 だけど、これは下準備。
 今日の蒸し魚は中華風に仕上げる。
 あえて火が通り切る前に蒸し器から取り出し、別の皿に移す。
 その上に刻んだ葱を大量にかけて、熱した香油を葱の上にかける。

バチバチバチと激しい音と共に焦げた葱の香ばしい匂いが漂う。
 その匂いがルナンマスの糠漬けに合わせるよう調合した香油と混じり合って、糠臭さは吹き飛んでしまう。
 蒸しを甘めにしたのは、最後に油で火を通す分を計算してのこと。
 この調理法を清蒸(チンジョン)という。
 中国の調理法。魚をもっともうまく食べる方法の一つだと俺は考えている。
 最後にタレをかけて、香菜を散らすと完成。

「焦げた葱の香りがたまりません! お腹が減っちゃいます」

'Wow, it's a beautiful light pink color. Looks delicious.
It's good. You should try a piece.

The best core roséed part of the best roast beef.
 The wild boar tataki I made is like that on all but the grilled surface.
 This is the power of the low-temperature cooker.

It's sweet, it's tender, it makes your cheeks feel like they're going to fall off. This is what tataki wild boar is all about.
'Yeah, it takes a long time and I rarely make it, but it's worth the effort. Give me the finishing touches.
Yes!

This cut of meat is placed on top of the salad, and the special ponzu sauce is poured over the salad at the end. Light ponzu goes well with the tataki.
 Finally, I started on the main dish of the day.

I knew that smell would be too much for a beginner.

Remove the lunanmas from the bran.
 There is a bran smell and a slight fermentation smell.

Wash the lunanmouth well to remove the bran, cut a slit in it, rub it with salt, wrap it in wet paper with the herbs, and put it in the steamer.

What does it mean to wrap them in paper before steaming them?
Wrapping the fish in paper gives it a fresh finish that keeps the fish extract from escaping, and the smell of the herbs we use to remove the smell transfers well.
That should take away the stench of the bran.
It's a work in progress.

Steamed fish made of paper is a Japanese technique called Bokusho-yaki.
 But this is a preparation.
 Today's fish is made in Chinese style.
 I take it out of the steamer before it is fully cooked and put it on another plate.
 Pour a lot of chopped green on it and pour hot fragrant oil over the green onions.

With a loud bang, I could smell the fragrant smell of burnt leeks in the air.
 The smell of bran was mixed with the fragrant oil mixed with Lunang Masu pickles, and the smell of bran was blown away.
 I made the steaming process sweeter because of the amount of oil used to heat the fish at the end.
 This cooking method is called qingzhong.
 Chinese cooking method. I think it is one of the best ways to eat fish, in my opinion.
 Finally, pour some sauce over the fish and sprinkle some fragrant vegetables on top.

'I love the smell of burnt green onions! I'm going to be hungry.

The cattle of King's Landing are a very high quality product that is raised only for eating.
 Ordinary cows are used for work and then turned into meat when they are no longer used, which makes them hard and smelly.
 The cows in King's Landing, on the other hand, are not allowed to gain any extra muscle mass because they live in a carefree manner, and their food is designed to improve their meat.

It all depends on how you cook it," he said. Even a wild boar can be delicious if you give it time and effort.

You can outperform it if you choose the right part of the meat and put in thorough work.

I'd like to get a cow from King's Landing somewhere. If I ask Maha, she'll prepare it for me, but I don't want to add to her work for the sake of entertainment.

'I would like to know more about the time and effort involved. 'No?'
I can teach you how to cook, and I won't tell you. I'll write you a recipe later.

The low temperature cooker is an appropriation of the technology obtained by analyzing the divine weapon, so it can't be spread, but it's not a problem if it's a low temperature cooking method.

''It's a shame we don't have gratin, but the rogue stew is still delicious.
Nowadays, Rougu-chan's cream stew is a specialty of Touahade, and people come from all over the country to eat it.

Chopped wild boar and the classic cream stew are popular.
 The problem is the steamed fish.
 A Touahade specialty, the steamed lunan trout with pickled vegetables.

'Hmmm, Nevan. You haven't touched the fish, I see. A girl who can't get a taste for this can't be a Tauaharde wife.

My mother has a bad look on her face.
 She's been wary of Nevan trying to groom me since yesterday.

'Yes, of course I'll take it.'
'That's spreading to me, too! I can't believe there's a fish in a bran.

Rather than Nevan, Dear, who is as mother-approved as the tart, is frightened.

'But even though you said it smells bad, it smells so good. It's fragrant and very appetizing.
'What? That's it? I thought the stinky fish would come out later.
'Huh? Come to think of it, it smells really good.  It's cheating, sir.
No, I used a proper pickled lunan trout. You'll know it when you try it.

Yes, the smell is strong, but the taste is much richer than that of fresh vegetables, so you can tell in an instant if you eat it. No matter how hard you try, you can't get that taste out of it when it's raw.
 Three people put their hands on the salted vegetables in salted rice-bran paste at the same time.

It's delicious! It's definitely the best steamed fish in the world.
Yeah, it's great. I've never had a fish that smelled so good. And the fish itself is so delicious.
It's definitely the flavor of an anchovy. It's so delicious. I'm afraid my exams are ruined, but I'm so thrilled that you made such a wonderful dish for me, Rougues. I have a feeling my baby is going to be very happy too.

I'll try it too.
 The skin was crispy, the surface was fluffy, and the inside was fresh. The seasoning was also perfect.
 I don't think there's any other steamed fish as good as this, even in the capital.
 The tart, which I ate a breath too late, was raving about it.
 But there was one person who was puzzled.

''Was it not to my father's taste?
'No, it's good for good but I like the smell of bran and it's not enough for me.

I hadn't imagined that part.
 Cooking is deep.
 I always thought the smell of bran was a distraction, but I never thought anyone would like it.
 The star of the show is not only my mother, but my father as well.
 ...let's put this failure to good use.



Then he served a fruit tart for dessert.
 It was made with lots of seasonal fruits.

''Fu, it was delicious. Your cooking is the best in the world, Rougues!
'Isn't that an exaggeration? You're being too greedy for your parents.
'No, Father, I've tasted all the good food in the world and I can vouch for that. 'You're not just a strong man, Master Lugues, are you? I want it more and more.

A shiver runs down my spine.
 I look at my father and he chuckles and gives me a look of encouragement with his eyes.

'Lug is an overmade boy,' he said, 'and the only thing I worry about is that he's too good to be true. The only thing that worries me is that he's too good to be true. At the very least, you can rest your wings while you're here in the mansion.
'It doesn't work that way. We have to prepare for this while we have time to spare. If we don't, we will eventually lose and die.

That's why even today's feast making was an endurance test for the magic tools, and we tried a new type of search magic in the hunt.

''Um, Roug-sama. We've already defeated three demons, and I have a feeling we'll be able to defeat the remaining five soon.
Not likely. It's definitely going to get tougher from here on out.

I assure you.
 I'm not worried about our future struggles, I'm sure.

Oh, do you mind if I ask why?

Nevan bit down. He's not asking without understanding, he's probably just making sure it matches his own thoughts.

''The demon race has intelligence. Until now, the demon tribe up until now has been competing with other demon tribe members, which is why they worked on their own without coordination. It's because of the competition that they attacked us poorly. However, the orc demon race, the helmet polishers and the lion demon race, three of them were killed all at once.

If the opponent is a pawn in the game, they will foolishly continue to act alone and use shallow tactics in the future.
 However, demons are not stupid. If the existing methods don't work, they will change their tactics.

"Hey, what kind of countermeasure is that?
''The simple thing is that the demon race would attack us with more than two of them. The demon tribe the other day, do you think you'd be able to win if there were two of them?
Well I'm not so sure, or almost impossible.
That's right. That's why I had prepared something like a [divine spear] that would send the enemies flying.

The only reason I was able to divert the [Divine Spear] to isolate the Lion Demon Clan at that time was because I had developed it beforehand.

''There's more. To create a situation where we can't fight. For example, let's say that Touahade is attacked by a bunch of demons. If the demons show up in that situation, I can't just abandon my hometown and head there instantly. By the time I've cleared the swarm of demons, they've served their purpose and are gone. It could be simpler, we could rampage to a place we can't reach before the demon tribe finishes its work.

With a hang glider, we can move at super speed.
 But those who tell us the demon tribe is coming can't move as fast as us.
 We don't always get information from Meena like we did this time.

''It's surprisingly full of holes, isn't it?''
'Yeah, so you can't let your guard down and you have to be more diligent.

We're always trying to get stronger.
 We are also working to strengthen our intelligence network. In cooperation with Maha, we are building a high-speed communication network connecting the centers of the information network that Orna has set up.
 Traditionally, it was said to be the fastest communication system. The plan is to make it possible to communicate with a speed and reliability that surpasses that of the conventional carrier.
 Real-time communication in this age where communication = letter carrying is violently powerful.
 Not only will it be useful as an anti-magic race, it will also be useful in business later on.

''After all, Rougu-sama is amazing!
'It's all well and good to praise him, but I plan to have the tart get stronger.
Yes, I'm willing to do any kind of training for Master Lugue!
'Sure, I'll do my best. I'll make more magic.
In that case, I have the money and power to contribute.

I smile.
 If I can't do it on my own, I'm sure I can do it with them.
 Come to think of it, that thing should be arriving soon.
 I should be ready for it too.

The next evening, I was in the kitchen.
 Making a feast to celebrate the new family.

'Master Roug, I would like a taste of the stew, please.
