Chapter 375
Chapter 375
After a long vacation, we will head back tomorrow . This is our last day to have lunch here . So I will make today’s lunch .
Fina, peel the onions and cut them like this . Yuna
I took one onion and showed Fina how it’s done .
Yes, I got it . Fina
Fina peeled the onions and cut them as I told . Fina, was sharp since she always helping out at home .
Anzu, peel the potatoes and cut them to this size . Yuna
I showed how to cut the potatoes the same way as I did with onions and indicated the size . Anzu cut the potatoes in the same fashion .
I took the carrots, peeled them, and cut them into bite-sized pieces .
U~u, tears are coming out of my eyes . Fina
Fina is cutting the onions with tears in her eyes .
Should I have done the onions instead?
What we are doing right now is making curry .
When speaking about the sea, it should be curry rice . I got some curry spices, so I decided to make curry for lunch on the last day .
However, there are about 30 children and about 20 adults, which is quite a lot . It’s hard to make all of it by myself, so I have Fina and Anzu help me as assistants .
It’s hard to always make this much meal every day . But every day, Anzu, Morin-san, and the others prepared meals for the customers . I really have to thank them for it .
That’s why I decided to make lunch on the last day .
Yuna-san, the potatoes are done . Anzu
U~u, this one as well . Fina
Both of them brought the cut ingredients . I also finished the preparation of carrots . Fina is rubbing her eyes . Onions made her tears .
Finally, I cut the pork and finished the preparation . It’s just an ordinary curry, so I can’t add any other ingredients . It takes time and effort after all .
After preparing enough portions for the number of people, I added oil to the pan, then I added the meat and fried it . Afterward, when the meat was cooked, I added the vegetables and poured some water .
Since the amount I’m making is large, I prepared three pots . I also did that to change the level of spiciness .
So Yuna-san, what are you making? Boiled vegetables? Anzu
Anzu asked me since she has no idea of what I’m making .
Curry, it’s a spicy dish . Last time, during my work, I got some spices I needed to make curry . I think this is the perfect food when going to the ocean . Yuna
Is curry found in the sea? I’ve lived in Merera for a long time, but I’ve never heard of it . Anzu
You cannot find it in the sea, but back in the place where I lived in . Somehow, it was common to eat seafood curry . Yuna
However, I have never been to the sea, so I don’t know if curry was actually sold at the beach house . To the utmost, curry and ramen are the standard seafood in manga and anime .
I wonder if anyone really orders curry or ramen in the hot sea . However, I can’t say anything about those people because I’m making curry by the influence of that world .
I don’t know what a curry is, but I’m looking forward to it because the food Yuna-san makes is always delicious . Anzu
Look forward to it because it’s definitely delicious . Oh right, can you prepare the rice? Yuna
Okay . I’ll cook it properly . Anzu
That’s Anzu for you . I’ll leave the rice to Anzu, so I’ll skim the scum while carefully watching the three pots .
Yuna-oneesan . I’ll help too . Fina
Alright then, I’ll leave that pot to you . Yuna
Stew the vegetables while removing the scum . Then, as it started to smell good, I turned off the heat and took out the curry powder from the bear box .
Etto, since it’s this amount of portion, maybe, about this much? Yuna
The amount of curry spice had been calculated .
This curry is for children, so it should be less spicy and they can add milk to it if it’s still too spicy . I will not put much curry on this one . Next is a slightly spicy curry, and the third one is a dry curry . In other words, it tastes mild, medium spicy, and dry . I like medium spiciness .
For the dry one, I prepared a few for adults . It’ll be a waste if there are leftovers after all .
Yuna-oneesan, something is strange in the color . Fina
The color? Yuna
Fina told me to look at the pot, but it looks like a normal curry .
Don’t be surprised . Yuna
It has muddy color, but it also has a unique smell . Anzu
That’s right . It smells irritating to the nose . Fina
After Anzu cooks the rice, she gives an impression of the smell of curry .
It certainly has a unique curry scent that stimulates the nose . But it also stimulates the appetite .
This is the curry spice . It’s a little spicy, but it’s delicious . Yuna
I put some curry on a small plate and taste it .
Yep, it’s a proper curry .
It’s really best to partner it with Fukujinzuke (福神漬) . But as expected, it was impossible to prepare Fukujinzuke with what I have .
Yuna-san, can I have a taste? Anzu
I put the curry on small plates and give it to Anzu and Fina so that they can taste it . The two slowly receive the small plates and put the curry in their mouth .
That’s spicy and delicious . Anzu
I was worried because the color was strange, but it’s delicious . Fina
The color is due to the spices . Right now, both of you tasted the mildly spicy-sweet curry for kids . Then, the curry next to it has a little more spiciness and it’s my favorite among the three . Finally a curry for adults with a strong level of spiciness . Yuna
When you look at the pot, each curry has a different color . The spicier the dish, the darker the color .
Would you like to taste this too? Yuna
I pointed to the spiciest curry pot .
It’s spicy, isn’t it? Anzu
It’s spicy, but this is delicious . Yuna
I personally like medium spicy . I feel that mild is not enough, and dry is too spicy so I don’t feel like eating those kinds of curry . So, for me, medium spicy curry is the best curry .
Anzu and Fina challenged the dry curry . Even though it’s dry, it’s not so spicy that it cannot be eaten . In my opinion, it’s about the same level of spiciness written on the packaging of a pouched curry at best . In the original world, I used to eat pouched curry alone . However, I wanted them to stop differentiating the level of spiciness depending on the manufacturer . Some were medium spicy, but some were as spicy as the dry ones .
The two ate a bite of dry curry .
It’s too spicy! Fina
Fina shouted . I gave her the water I have prepared . When Fina received it, she immediately drank it all at once .
Well, that was painful . Anzu
It seems that dry curry was still too early for Fina . But Anzu seems to be fine . Are you used to salty foods? Though it’s a different thing when it comes to spicy foods .
It’s spicy, but it might be delicious if you eat it with rice . Anzu
It’s also delicious if you put it on bread or eat it with udon . Yuna
I want to eat curry bread and curry udon now . I wonder if I should make it next time .
But since we’re in the town of Mereera, I think it’s better to add shrimp, shellfish, and squid to it . Seafood curry is also good .
The rice was cooked properly, so we’re headed to the sandy beach where the children play with the finished curry and rice .
When we arrived at the beach house, we called the children playing at the beach .
It’s rice .
I’m hungry .
The children gathered .
Yuna-chan made it today, right? Tirumina
I helped too . Fina
Fina corrected Tirumina-san’s words .
Yuna-chan, did Fina help you? Tirumina
She was helpful to the point where she can get married anytime . Yuna
Oh, yeah? But if that happens, Gentz will go berserk . However, it’s okay if Yuna-chan takes her in . Tirumina
Mom! Fina
Fina shyly hits Tirumina-san multiple times .
While laughing, I put a pot of curry and the cooked rice on the table .
So Yuna-chan, what did you make? Tirumina
A dish called curry . It’s a bit spicy, but it’s delicious . Yuna
I told them to line up so we can hand it over in an orderly fashion . Fina, who’s standing next to me puts curry on the plate served with rice . It’s the sweet curry for children .
It smells weird .
My nose feels stuffy .
That’s the smell of spices . Spices are good for you, so it’s excellent to eat after getting tired from playing . Yuna
A child received a plate . Then, Anzu, who’s standing next to Fina, filled the cup with water and handed it over to the child . When eating curry, you’ll need water on stand-by . Just in case it’s too spicy for them .
There are many seconds, so eat a lot . Yuna
After distributing the curry to the children, it’s finally Noa’s turn .
I’m looking forward to Yuna-san’s home cooking, but you’re mean because you didn’t let me help . Noa
Because neither Noa nor Misa can cook . Yuna
That’s true, but we can do as much as wash vegetables . Noa
No, I don’t need it .
You can do that? Yuna
U~n, sometimes I ask Surilina to teach me, though I’m not good at it, I can do it . Noa
She’s an aristocrat, so I thought she couldn’t do even that .
And so, we have spicy food . There are three types to choose from, but which one would you choose? Yuna
The least spicy please . Noa
Me too . Misa
Noah and Misa chose the sweet curry .
Then I’ll take it the second hottest one . Shia
Oneesama, can I try a little? Noa
Then, shall we put a little on Noa’s plate? Yuna
Is that okay? Noa
I gave her the sweet curry as a main, then add a little bit of the medium spicy . Next are Marina and Eru, who lined up behind Noa and others, they chose medium spicy curry .
Then Lurina-san and Gill came next .
I’m looking forward to Yuna-chan’s new food . Lurina
Lurina-san are you okay with spicy? Yuna
Of course, I love spicy food . Lurina
Then I’ll leave it spicy . Yuna
I sprinkled the dry curry on top of the rice . She’s the first one to get the dry curry .
Gill are you okay with spicy? Yuna
Not spicy . Gill
............ Yuna
I stopped trying to get rid of the dry curry .
Gill, you have such a large figure, but you’re not good with spicy . Lurina
Some unexpected words came out of Lurina-san’s mouth .
Body size doesn’t matter . Gill
Gill rejects the relation between body size and spiciness .
Well, it certainly doesn’t matter . Anzu was okay with spicy . Besides, Lurina-san seems to be okay with it too . So body figure and gender does not matter .
For the time being, I gave Gill a sweet curry .
Then Morin-san, Karin-san, and Elena-san chose medium spicy curry .
I’m not good with spicy food . Seno
Seno-san and Nifu-san chose sweet curry, while Forne-san and Betoru-san chose medium spicy .
And sweet curry to the director and Liz-san . No one wants to try dry curry .
Gentz-san yours is dry, isn’t it? Yuna
I don’t want spicy either . Gentz
Even Gentz-san chose the sweet curry for children .
Tirumina-san, Fina, and Shuri also chose sweet curry . Well, it can’t be helped here . Unexpectedly, few people tried dry curry . If there are leftovers, I can reduce the spiciness by adding milk, right?
And so, everyone started eating rice all at once .
All the voices I heard were
Cliff came from the middle of the line, so I immediately gave him a dry curry, but he was eating it deliciously, so I was a little disappointed . Well, it’s not too spicy that you can’t eat it, but I wanted to see a different reaction .
By the way, Gran-san chose sweet curry . Masrika chose medium spicy, while Itia chose dry .
As a result of eating curry rice, it was well-received overall .
Tirumina-san asked me,
It’s a hassle if I buy it every time using the bear gate and it’s even more troublesome if Karina finds me .
But spices will last a long time, so should I buy them in large quantities? Should it be okay if I sealed it and stored it in the refrigerator?
Or I can just put it in the bear box .
