Chapter 271
271 – Dessert That Cannot Be Missed
“Teacher? What are you doing now? Why is it on an iron plate? … ?”
“Just wait. I’ll make it delicious in no time. It will definitely suit your taste.”
ㅡChijijijijijik… !
With those words, kimchi goes up.
On top of the golden oil flowing from the meat.
The surface of the bright red kimchi is naturally coated with oil.
-You guys… !
When I put cabbage kimchi on the grill,
Moisture flies away with a loud sound.
I was worried because the core was thicker than regular cabbage,
The scorching heat quickly dies and the grass withers.
When I actually put it up like this, it didn’t look too bad.
‘It’s not a bad start.’
As the moisture evaporated, it created a shape similar to the stir-fried kimchi I knew.
“Ba~bo-! Grilling a salad on a grill? Completely uncivilized-♡”
“Teacher? What are you doing now… ?”
But Eros and Sonya were looking at them with worried expressions. In their eyes, it must have seemed like they were making blatantly bizarre food.
I didn’t really reply.
Because it went more smoothly than expected.
And as proof…
ㅡSniff sniff… !
‘This smells no different from stir-fried kimchi, right? ‘It’s more edible than I thought.’
As the kimchi cooks golden brown on the grill, a familiar smell stimulates your sense of smell. The familiar spiciness of red pepper powder tickled my nose.
The rich savory flavor is absorbed by the steam and evaporates into a smell.
ㅡWait, word, word… !!!
Looking at the kimchi slowly simmering on the grill definitely whets up my appetite.
‘It’s a shame I wasn’t able to cook it thoroughly for a long time. Fried kimchi is best made with aged kimchi…’
Putting my regrets aside, I picked up the ripe ones and examined them closely.
Fibers tanned in tan color.
Red seasoning saw into it.
And even the yellow oil covering the surface.
ㅡCrunchy, crunchy!!!
Deciding that enough was enough, I tasted it first. Let go of your high expectations.
I just wanted to at least have something to eat.
‘Oh… ? Is this okay? The texture is awkward, but it’s not as bad as you think, right? Did it mature this much in just one day?’
For some reason, the smell wasn’t that unusual.
It was much more edible than I expected.
The somewhat stiff texture was irritating to the tongue,
The taste was not much different from stir-fried kimchi.
A combination of rich umami and spicy aroma that leaks out the more you chew. Plus, it has a subtle pork flavor, so it’s just the icing on the cake. If you have this, you won’t need any other side dishes.
I was worried that the kimchi wasn’t ripe yet,
Fortunately, I didn’t feel anything different.
Rather, the strangely natural richness satisfies my tongue.
This may be thanks to the cooling magic installed in the corrosion warehouse.
How can kimchi be aged in such a short period of time to make it delicious? … There is no separate kimchi refrigerator.
I never thought the dwarves’ technological prowess would be this high. I really need to have it custom-made for kimchi later.
“Um, Mr. Breeder… ? Are you okay?”
“Is it because it doesn’t taste good? Yes?! I knew that, idiot~”
As I froze in surprise at the unexpected taste,
The two guys show an anxious reaction.
Everyone thinks I can’t speak because of the terrible taste.
“I’m fine. Are you actually surprised that it baked better than you expected? Now, everyone, let’s try it.”
ㅡUgh… !
I picked up a piece of well-grilled kimchi with chopsticks and offered it to Sonya.
“Huh? Come on, teacher… ?”
Then Sonya started.
I told him it tasted good,
The guy’s eyes were full of anxiety.
It had to be because it was a type of food I had never encountered before.
“Trust me and try it. “The taste is completely different from before.”
“Well, if you say that…”
ㅡHaap!
Sonya reluctantly swallows the stir-fried kimchi.
With her eyes tightly closed and her fists clenched.
Eros, who was watching next to her, also showed a similar reaction.
“Ugh… ! One bite of that… ?”
A guy who reacts with a lot of emotion.
Continuing to see such strong reactions,
It’s like they’re recommending something I can’t eat.
“… Haa? Ma, is it delicious?”
“Look at that. “It’s better than I thought, right?”
“Yes… ! It tastes completely different from before! It’s less spicy… “It’s a spiciness that keeps you hooked!”
But contrary to my worries, Sonya’s face bloomed brightly. This time, he was reacting sincerely rather than acting.
“Ha-? Teacher? Me too! Me too! Why do you keep taking care of Sonya first?”
When Sonya reacted as if it was surprisingly delicious, Eros jumped up from his seat and grabbed my arm. It’s like she’s a cat begging for a treat.
Even just a moment ago, I was spitting out nausea.
“Hmm? Would you like some Eros too?”
“Of course! Why are you discriminating against me?!”
“Discrimination? Since you drank water in a hurry because it was spicy, I thought you didn’t like spicy food and deliberately didn’t recommend it. Rather, he was considerate of Ms. Eros.”
“Ugh… ! As far as using your tongue, it doesn’t seem like a sloppy thing at all… ♡ Okay, that’s enough, feed me too! The teacher himself-!”
The guy who snuggles up next to me and presses his lips against me.
“Well, I won’t stop you. It will be less spicy than before.”
ㅡUgh… !
I catered to Eros’ whim and deliberately picked up a small piece. And before I could even stretch out my arms…
“Nyaam-&”
Eros snatches the stir-fried kimchi like a thief cat. While swinging the magic barrel with increased maximum magic attribute.
They are still so preoccupied with food that they are unable to notice the changes in their bodies.
ㅡWasak, Wasasak… !
“Wow… ? Well, the taste has really changed, right? “Is it better to eat than I thought?”
This time, Eros mutters that it’s okay.
With a face that says it’s hard to believe.
And the guy who ruminates on the taste several times.
“Useup, puhaat…” “?! Well, the spicy thing was still spicy… ! Moul… ! Water!!!”
For some reason, I felt like I was eating better than expected,
The guy quickly sticks out his tongue and takes a deep breath.
As expected, it was the same. A poor person is a poor person.
I thought Sonya, who is compatible with the fire attribute, would be weaker in terms of hot taste, but who would have thought that Eros would actually have a hard time?
-Snap! Suddenly… !
“Puhaaat… ! It wasn’t bad though. It’s definitely worth eating. “It’s pretty good for a crappy topic~?”
Eros takes a gulp of water from the glass and flutters with an expression that says he will live now.
Who does Heojeop keep calling Heojeop to?
“Teacher? But what is the name of this?”
“Oh, it’s called kimchi. Let’s try it with meat.”
“Kimchi… ? “Is this also the same as meat?”
“Sure. It will capture the greasy taste properly. The portion will be sufficient, so eat it slowly.”
ㅡDrurruk… !
After saying those words, I stood up.
“Oh? Teacher? Where are you going? “You have to keep feeding me, right?”
“Teacher? Have you finished eating already?”
“No. “I’m going to prepare dessert soon.”
“Hoo~♡ Dessert? What’s going on with Mr. Heojeop? Have you gained some sense?”
“… Anyway, I’ll be back soon, so eat slowly and wait.”
I left those words and headed straight to the kitchen. To really go get dessert.
Was it because of the wrap Sonya gave her?
I don’t think I’ve eaten much, but I’m already full.
Still, I have to finish what I started until dessert.
ㅡRattle, clatter… !
As I enter the kitchen, I can hear the pot lid shaking loudly.
It was like that. Before greeting Sonya and Eros, I put the pot on low heat.
Of course, the lights were off now. Because there was a timer set on the stove.
Anyway, thanks to this, I was able to steam the contents just right.
“If the lid is enough to lift from the residual heat, it will be done properly. Well, the smell isn’t bad either.”
ㅡJerbuk, Jerbuk… !
I moved this to the pot.
Of course, it’s hot, so put it on a tray.
Besides this, I grabbed a few more items from the kitchen and went back up to the second floor.
ㅡHaap… !
ㅡCrunchy, crunchy… !
ㅡWagu wagu, tsk tsk tsk tsk… !
As soon as you go up like that, you can hear the sound of a 2nd grader who is a good eater.
Sure enough, Sonya and Eros were greedily devouring the meat. And naturally, they were eating meat wrapped in kimchi.
There was truly no other heartwarming sight.
“Hmm? Have you already eaten everything?”
“Oh, no! I also left something for you… !”
“That’s right! And wouldn’t it be a waste to leave something this delicious behind? And I didn’t eat much~?”
Sonya held out the meat and stir-fried kimchi she had put aside in her bowl, and Eros shamelessly held out her flippers.
“It’s okay if you enjoyed it. And Miss Sonya, you saved it well. “To make dessert, a little meat is essential.”
“Heh, it’s no big deal… !”
“Tch, that’s annoying. He made a covenant of love with me, but only Sonya was pretty…”
“Eros? If you have made an oath, please be quiet… ! Oh, more like a teacher? So what is dessert? “Did you hear it in that pot?”
Sonya and Eros have been fighting back and forth, keeping each other in check. To have a little more conversation with me.
“You’re right. By the way, could you please turn on the fire?”
“To? Do we need fire again?”
“Yes, I will make dessert right on the stove.”
“Huh, do you mean eating dessert right off the grill?”
“What? “You mean it’s not finished this time either?”
ㅡSweet… !
Instead of answering the barrage of questions, I opened the lid of the pot. It’s much quicker to show once than to tell a hundred times.
ㅡMorakmorak… !
Then, white steam rises from the inside, and soon the contents filling the pot are revealed.
That is, a flowing white sheen.
