Not Sure, Another World Reincarnation

Chapter 47: Do Not Give Up on Your Ambitions

Hello, its Ren. And so Im currently having lunch with everyone in an office inside the guild. Obviously, I wasnt wearing my hood, and as expected Lily and Salena were staring quite intensely at me, I was a bit troubled. But the guild master looked like he didnt care that much? There were some other guild staff around us, but I wouldnt be able to continue with the meal if I kept worrying about it, so I stopped paying attention to it.

Now then! Todays lunch is my treat! Or rather I actually made it! Anyway, lets just quickly introduce the menu already~

First up, the soup. It was shrimp soup. I created a rich broth through cooking the shrimp head and shells. Afterward, I also adjusted the taste. But this isnt the only thing I prepared, I have more. Shrimp Chili. This was a bit hard to make. I made potato starch for the coating, but I didnt have any broad bean chili paste.since I didnt have enough ingredients to make it, I ended up having to make the broad bean chili paste using Creation Magic.

But since I found chili oil in the northeastern forest near the river, I somehow managed to complete it during my spare time. I also made ketchup and vinegar, and then finished preparing the scallions and other ingredients, but in my own opinion it was still a bit crude. I still needed to fine-tune the flavor.

The main dish was steamed rice. In this world, the cooking method for rice was basically just to boil it or fry it, which was quite lacking to me. As such, I made a clay pot and steamed the rice. The result was quite amazing. I added the chopsticks, and done!

But when I finished taking the dishes out, everyone only stared silently. No one moved.

Um, help yourselves? Thatthis..what is this? Its a dish using shrimp. Shrimp, you mean that gritty and smelly thing?

Ahh, did they perhaps not remove the digestive tract of the shrimp? Hm? Was this worlds shrimp cuisine only at that level?

Ah, its only like that if you dont properly prepare it. Prepare?

Hmm, there werent a lot of recipes for seafood, so perhaps they dont know how to prepare it? The other types of dishes were fine and the dishes from the village in the south were all fine, so I guess this was just a problem limited to the inland areas.

Um, basically Im saying its alright. Please try eating it. I see, in that case.

Lily reached out with her fork. The other two are watching her with bated breath. So theyre using someone younger than them as a poison-tester, how devious.

She brought a shrimp to her mouth and began eating it. .But just as I thought she was finished, she froze and her shoulders started trembling. Then she swallowed.

What is this!

After Lily shouted that, she began eating ferociously.

This! This dish! Its the first time Ive ever! Sheesh!

The other two became stunned after seeing her reaction, but then the two returned to themselves and also began eating.

What is this? This is the first time Ive eaten something so delicious. Even the first-class restaurants in the royal capital dont come close. And this soup. Its incredibly richso this is the taste of shrimp? When I ate it before, it had a grainy and bad smell to it so I didnt really like it. But this rich flavor goes well with the rice. I can eat a lot of rice with just this soup alone. So this is a shrimp dish? This is dangerous. I cant stop my hands. This spicy aftertaste, its justwait Lily! Youre eating too much of it!

Hahahaha. Theres still plenty more, so eat up?

In the end, the three of them stuffed themselves until their stomachs were bulging. Looks like they finished all the rice I preparedperhaps theyre eating a bit too much?

I cant go on anymore I also cant eat anymore. Ive eaten too muchcant move.

But I wasnt finished yet.

Then I guess you wont be able to eat this. !?

I took out some fruit jelly. There were pieces of fruit inside. I thought over it quite a bit. I managed to get sugar from the maple syrup, but I didnt have any milk or eggs. Though I do have some butter. In this world, there were soybeans so things like tofu existed in the village in the south. They could also produce soymilk, but that was about it, the quality of the soymilk wasnt suited for baking sweets and would produce something quite horribleI found this out after some experimenting at the village, but during that time I had managed to find some Gelidiaceae that washed up onshore. And so I collected and processed it.

What is this. Its transparent and prettylike a jewel. And it has a nice scent too.

I made grape jelly this time. I also mixed in a bit of red wine which was why it had a nice scent. So I guess it would be more oriented towards adults? The flavor was adjusted using fruit juice and sugar, but the sweetness was kept at a moderate level. I experimented quite a lot with it.

Eh? Werent grapes supposed to be out of season? Not at all, since I picked them last fall. When I was living in the forest, I found them growing, so I collected and stored them. Although it shouldve been a wild species, the grapes were sweet and big as if they were domesticated. As expected, the vegetation in this world was rather strange.

But since everyone appears to be full, I guess its impossible to eat. No, no, Ill eat it! Please let me eat it! I would also like to eat it! Since sweets are an entirely different matter! I want to eat it too! The dish we just ate was ridiculously delicious! I just cant imagine what this will taste like! Um, in that case, help yourselves?

But since this was the first time theyve seen something like this, all three of them brought the spoon to their mouths rather gingerly. They began chewing and then swallowed.

Fwah. Delicious. Its sweet, but not too sweet. And the balance between the sweetness and grape flavor is absolutely superb. And the fragrance that spreads throughout my mouththis is quite astounding

Lily ate wordlessly, while Salena was in complete bliss. The guild master ate while commentating like some gourmet food critic.

Yep, its my complete victory. Although that was just my own opinion.
