NOVEL NEXT Chapter 8: Inn´s cuisine and Takuto´s cuisine
After I had a real lunch, I logged in again. When we leave the room and go down, the owner calls me.
"Are you going out now? What about the meal?"
After being told, I noticed that both I and Lily were fighting to the limit of fullness, so it's in the red zone. And I'm interested in cooking in the game world.
"Certainly please"
"Leave it to me. Sit in an empty seat~"
We sit in vacant seats as told and wait for the meal.
"Meal~Meal~"
Lily asks for the meal and the tension is up and the food comes.
Our time to see the food has stopped. There are three dishes. I tried to appraise each.
Core Rice (inferior): Rarity 1 Cooking Quality F-
Effect: 10% fullness recovery
A dish that failed to cook rice.
It doesn't hurt the stomach, but it's not delicious.
Carbonized Boar Meat (inferior): Rarity 1 Cooking Quality F-
Effect: 15% fullness recovery
A dish of overcooked boar meat.
The taste of meat is gone, only the taste of charcoal.
It is possible to eat.
Water Juice: Rarity 1 Cooking Quality F-
Effect: 5% fullness recovery
A dish of cooking green foxtail in water.
The taste of juice is dissolved in water.
After appraisal, the appraisal level went up.

But wait. This is no good!?
First of all, I'm sorry......I think this is rice, but it seems to be closer to brown rice than white rice. However, as the appraisal shows, there is a core. It will take courage to eat.
Next, carbonized boar meat......this looks like a black mass without appraisal. It's suspicious whether it's food or not.
Finally, water juice......it's full of tsukkomi. You might want to call it miso soup, but they just put green foxtail in the water. It's a mysterious dish that cant be called a dish anymore. Moreover, in reality, green foxtail is also a plant with various kinds of excitement. In a sense, it was the dish that I hesitated to eat the most.
"Are you going to eat this? Takuto"
Lily looks up at me with tears in her eyes. I understand her feelings, but I don't want to see me there. I learned from someone who is also my cooking master that I have to eat the food that is served. If I follow that, I'll have to eat it. However, I asked the clerk if all the food in this world was like this.
"No way. If you go to a proper restaurant, you will find proper food"
"Then, what is the food here?"
"Ahaha....... Well, it's strange. I used to hire a child with cooking skill, but the child with cooking skill is no longer profitable because it's more profitable to open a store"
Indeed, that's why the inn's food was made by people who didn't know the food. It's a sad world, both in reality and in games. But then I made a suggestion.
"Can you lend me the kitchen?"
"Eh? You can, but......can you cook?"
"I don't have cooking skills, but I have boar meat"
"I see. Then I'll give you special permission"
Oh. It's said. However, I think that special permission is usually given by the store manager.
"I'm the store manager Mocchi"
The clerk was actually the store manager....... However, I got permission, so I asked her to guide me to the kitchen. Then there was an ordinary kitchen there. To be honest, I had a tattered image....... Sorry.
Twist the faucet and water will come out. There are old wooden chopping boards, kitchen knives, wooden bowls, frying pans, etc. And I found some seasoning. It's salt. If this is the case, it seems that the boar meat can be cooked somehow. I asked the manager to lend me an apron and started cooking.
The moment I take out the boar meat from the inventory, it appears on the cutting board in the form of block meat. This must be drained.
First, fill the bowl with water. Then put salt in the bowl and you're ready to go. I wash the boar meat in a bowl filled with salt water. Then blood comes out from the boar meat. People who don't like this will be out. You can make this kind of gross thing invisible by setting it properly, but I'm used to working part-time, so it's the same.
When no blood comes out, I remove the meat from the bowl. Normally, I would soak it in various things to get rid of the odor, but I can't do that because there is only salt. Next, I cut the boar meat to a thickness of 5 mm and when it's done, it's time to start cooking. Having the store manager light the fire with fire magic, I fry the boar meat in the frying pan. Since it is wild boar meat, it is fried firmly on both sides. Finally, season with salt to complete.
Here is the result.
Roasted Boar Meat: Rarity 2 Cooking Quality F-
Effect: 25% fullness recovery
A meat dish in which boar meat is seasoned with salt and roasted. It is well drained and tastier than regular boar meat.
The explanation includes blood removal and salt seasoning. Well then, tasting.......
""Ji""
When I tried to eat it, I was attacked by the line of sight of the store manager, Mocchi-san and Lily. When it comes to Lily, drool is dripping.
"Emm......do you want to eat?"
""Eat!""
They say so and eat a bite of my roasted meat. I will try it too.
""Delicious~!!""
Two people say so. It was worth the effort to make it. My impression is a little disappointing. After all, it is inevitably worse than modern cooking. However, for those who like the unique smell of wild boar meat, it may be just right. Then the info flowed.
『Cooking skill has been released』
Well, my cooking skill has been released. Now that I have cooking skill, it's clear that it's not a combat skill. Skill points required for acquisition 3pt. Is it higher than magic?
