Chapter 174

For now butter.

Not just butter but much butter.

More butter!

Thinking of tremendous crayfish’s size seeming needing tremendous amount of butter.

Cooking simple.

Just intending to do butter grill only grilling.

“What, making more?”

“Uh.”

Seona approaching holding plate and tilting and examining the shape me doing.

Soon me catching crayfish Seona also becoming fully expecting expression and saying.

“Intending to eat one more plate but have to leave belly a bit.”

“Taking time to cook?”

Crayfish of this size seeming taking almost over 20 minutes. But if making firepower strong only outside burning and inside not cooking so have to do slowly.

For now moving the lit fire to the oven beside. Kkumuri style oven upgrading as time passing not losing even compared to what saw at Iron Blood.

‘Of course unable to beat latest equipment even using magic stone.’

Raising the temperature inside oven and checking little by little.

After that when becoming the targeted temperature putting crayfish whole inside.

Just in time oven’s entrance also large so giant crayfish entering exactly matching.

A bit lower temperature than when made pizza.

Waiting to cook well and making seasoning sauce.

Seasoning sauce matching crayfish.

For now chopping garlic. But chopping to size biting on teeth.

Then pouring olive oil in pot and putting all chopped garlic and slightly stir-frying. When color slightly golden immediately putting butter together and stir-frying.

Sizzle sizzle.

Here putting ready-made lemon juice complete.

Pour pour pour.

Using all lemon juice this time.

Have to buy again next outing.

And simply completed lemon butter seasoning sauce.

Scent extremely good.

“Done?”

Before I knew it Ara peeking and asking.

Casually turning head and examining monkfish stew revealing bottom.

Those many monkfish stew all disappearing.

Expected but terrifying appetite.

“Now grilling in oven.”

“Fine watching!”

“Of course.”

Family many so lemon seasoning sauce also almost half pot filled situation. Me lifting pot and moving and going to examine oven.

Hwaak!

Approaching the savory crustacean smell felt.

Feeling properly cooking with only smell.

“Gulp.”

“Delicious...”

Without knowing saliva continuously leaking at the imagined taste even just ate monkfish stew deliciously.

Taking out once at appropriate timing.

Then applying the liquid mixed embergrill and lemon juice, and my alcohol once and putting in again.

“Father.”

“Hm?”

“Forgot this.”

Me belatedly scratching head and bringing alcohol. Feeling me really no interest in alcohol looking at only thinking when cooking.

“What?”

“Alcohol. Said made with my sweet potato.”

“Sweet potato?”

Mother taking care of kids also showing interest and approaching. Soon the two pouring one each then soon asking me and Seona.

“You also one each.”

“Shall, dad?”

Seona quickly receiving alcohol acting cute as youngest.

Me no particular thought but receiving glass thinking of lightly drinking one.

“Me also wanting to drink!”

“A, Ara...”

Troublesome.

Ultimately me taking out the fruit juice made with liquid synthesis enshrined in one side of warehouse.

“Our Ara drink fruit juice?”

“Uung!”

Something eyes full of dissatisfaction but ultimately Ara nodding. Later have to research beverage Ara or other kids able to drink bringing honey taste hot spring.

“Then, everyone doing well...”

Father suddenly starting to stretch words.

Me and Seona listening to toast speech with bored face and mother just good smiling full face.

“Cheers!!”

“Cheers.”

“Cheers!”

Ara following saying because we saying even not knowing what cheers.

Soon sipping and drinking alcohol sweet scent stirring oral structure with a chwaak and passing.

“Kreu.”

Sound naturally coming out.

Wanted to drink quietly but the liquid gently touching and passing making sound.

“This fine making and eating as highball.”

Seona quite liking receiving one more from father. Mother’s reaction also not bad situation.

Father not putting alcohol bottle from arms at all.

Knowing not liking alcohol that much but unexpected.

“Gradually done?”

Me taking out crayfish once more.

Shell changed bright red seeming almost all cooked visible.

Receiving Ara’s help and cutting crayfish in half.

Jjeok!

“Uwaa!”

“Ooooo!!”

Cutting long vertically in half sturdy flesh revealing. White cooked flesh and sticky sauce of golden color seeming innards visible.

Me firmly swallowing saliva and applying the pre-prepared seasoning sauce on pure white crayfish flesh. Due to tremendous butter content thick, melting in heat and soon absorbing into crayfish flesh.

“Let’s cook just 3 seconds more!”

“Yeah!”

Holding both sides together with Ara and putting in oven again.

“3! 2! 1!”

Ara vigorously counting numbers and soon taking out crayfish again. With the sound of sizzle sizzle cooking good looking Maillard reaction arising on crayfish’s white flesh.

“Kreu.”

“Fine eating!”

Nodding and for now moving crayfish.

Unlike monkfish flounder grilled one whole so amount remaining even eating to heart’s content.

“Tada.”

“Waa.”

Placing the completed crayfish the family sipping one bottle of alcohol all sending expecting eyes.

“Will peel flesh a bit.”

Due to appropriately cooked shell and flesh also cleanly separating. Yield also good feeling full but butter and crustacean’s smell mixing and tickling nose.

“Then, let’s eat.”

“Will eat well!”

Crayfish flesh full on plate, and piled like mountain.

Peeling flesh for kkumuri and slimes’ share and taking care one by one soon admiration heard from here and there.

-Krung!

Gomgomi hastily eating crayfish flesh.

Feeling liking more than monkfish stew.

Our family also diligently eating.

Applying even on sticky innards sauce and eating, enjoying leisurely as alcohol snack too.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! Aa~!”

“Aa!”

And Ara bringing crayfish flesh pierced full on fork to my mouth for me still busily moving.

Crayfish flesh entering degree mouth full.

Chew chew.

A, this taut texture.

And crustacean’s unique savory and sweet taste not betraying expectation.

The flavor of seasoning sauce and sauce made also amazing. Not applying all when grilling but left for dipping too.

“Gulp.”

Amid juice overflowing out of mouth Ara eating crayfish with smile on full face looking happy just looking.

“Too delicious! Happy!”

“Hahaha. Our Ara happy me also happy!”

Father a bit alcohol entered clapping and shouting. At the appearance mood raised than usual somehow laughter coming out.

We eating for a while and spending leisurely time. Still crayfish also able to eat all before I knew it due to considerably small size compared to monkfish flounder.

“Chep.”

Eating strawberry as palate cleanser really seeming belly full to bursting. But continuously entering exactly like rice belly and snack belly separate.

“Aigo, good.”

Not strong alcohol so even sharing one bottle father standing with flushed face.

“Have to soak body in hot spring a bit.”

“Father. Not good bathing after drinking alcohol.”

“But body becoming healthy hot spring?”

“Uh? Th, that also right?”

Moment, if becoming like this what how?

Not good bathing after drinking alcohol, but the hot spring here system certified body becoming healthy hot spring.

‘...’

Even worrying answer not coming out before I knew it father taking Ara and going to hot spring.

“What, just three four cups fine?”

Mother also saying so then following the two.

No, looking now Seona also quickly following.

“Heum.”

And me looking at the remaining seat after eating and scanning the things to clean up.

“...Let’s clean.”

* * *

With the help of kkumuri and slimes quickly finishing dishwashing and organizing me harvesting meju together with mother who finished hot spring and returned.

Collecting all the meju scattered and taking out the jar prepared in advance.

“Making jang!”

Ara shouting with excited voice.

In the jar salt water me made in advance one day before contained, fine putting the washed meju here.

Chwaaak.

“Sseuk sseuk! Washing!”

Washing all meju and putting in jar.

Not putting all and leaving several for gochujang to make later.

Then making meju sink well and floating the prepared World Tree charcoal. And floating dried chili together bringing ready-made instead of my chili not harvested right now.

“But mom. Looking at the method of making this covering only with mesh during day and closing lid at night but here no day night?”

“Fine alternating 12 hours each?”

“Um, for now so?”

Fine if succeeding making doenjang at once but fine doing again even if failing.

Of course work taking long time so if failing a bit regrettable seeming.

“Then, kkumuri!”

-Heheng?

“You now managing this every 12 hours. Able to do well?”

-Heheng.

When me naturally handing work to kkumuri Seona saying something from behind but just ignoring.

Busy person like me hard to care every 12 hours?

Just in time making jang and gradually chili grown to some degree so going to field.

“Oh?”

Sturdy! Of course chili!

Before I knew it appearances hanging in clusters. But that appearance a bit different from the chili me knew.

“Paprika? Bell pepper?”

Not thin and long shape but appearance close to bell pepper. Not the shape me originally knew so slightly worried.

Kkumuri!

“Oh, yeah. Playing well?”

One slime greeting as if welcome. And just in time Ara who moved all jars together with Seona running to the field.

“Grown a lot! This chili?”

“Yeah. But appearance a bit different from what me knew. Ara also saw not?”

“Red!”

“Right, that.”

Ara who saw chili at main house and even dining out several times tilting head.

“Paprika!”

“Same thought as me.”

But quite large size when harvest possible?

For now planted both red chili and green chili but only color different all showing similar growth speed.

Kkumuri!

“Fine even now!”

“Uh?”

Fine even now?

But why not harvesting?

Kkumuri-!

“If leaving a bit more becoming spicier.”

“A, such principle?”

Then for now harvest one each red chili, green chili and taste once. Then spice adjustment also possible.

‘Able to harvest at different times and classify by spice?’

Father already gone to bed and mother also just making meju and gradually entering tent to sleep.

Seona seeming playing with Suo or Gomgomi there while organizing jars.

Then for now us harvest and do 1st confirmation.

“Harvest only one each. Choose fine ones.”

Kkumuri!

Slime answering as if saluting soon starting to look for appropriate chili.

This tomorrow right away gochujang making also possible?!
