Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 37. Development is difficult, but application is easy

We must return to the village and the city soon.

If that happens, this party may disband.

Then, naturally, they would be embarrassed to go to the street stalls.

I hate being just an ordinary guest.

Moreover, his dishes are so popular that even if you visit as a customer, you might end up standing in line all day.

So I mustered up the courage.

Words I came up with after thinking hundreds of times in my heart.

He answered as if he knew what I wanted to hear.

I need you.

I will never kick you out.

It was something I had to say right now.

It was now or never.

‘I fell in love with Mumu and Melissa before I knew it…’

At this party, I feel like I’m doing my part.

Thanks to that, I gained confidence.

I don’t know why, but the more we spend together, the warmer our heart becomes.

I don’t want to go back to the days of wandering alone.

‘Maybe I’m… A bit selfish…’

That man told me he needed me.

I still don’t know if he’s serious or if he’s just saying it to make it easier to hear.

But the truth is, I love being part of this party right now.

Because you can eat delicious food together, it’s fun… And you feel alive.

So, I want to work hard.

I want to be more helpful.

I want to be what they need.

The next day.

I asked Lemon and the children for a favor.

“Hunting?”

“Yes. Come along with Lemon and the villagers.”

“What about you?”

“I have to develop a new menu. Rice is an existing menu, so there is no special buff effect. My cooking experience was also insignificant.”

“Oh! So you’re making something tastier?”

“Well, you can see that. So, catch some delicious meat.”

“Yes!”

It’s still awkward to call Miss Lemon a lemon, but I’m holding back.

You’ll get used to it soon enough.

“Lemon!”

“Yes.”

“Take care of the children.”

“Okay.”

In the end, he also gave up on honorifics.

For some reason, I hate it because I feel weak.

There are many different reasons for speaking in a casual way.

After seeing off the hunting trip, I started developing a new menu in earnest.

It doesn’t matter if you made rice because you wanted to eat it, but you can’t get out of level 10 as a cook.

While preparing the banquet, I learned a few dishes from the wolf beast ladies, but those dishes weren’t registered as original recipes, so my level didn’t rise at all.

‘Suddenly, the cost of raising attributes is getting more expensive…’

In order to grow quickly, you have no choice but to level up.

And in order to level up, developing a new menu is essential.

“Now, shall we make that first?”

I took out the remaining pork in my inventory.

First of all, the fat was removed, and the lean meat was thinly sliced.

Thanks to the help of the skill, it was possible to use the hands that are not envied by most chefs.

“Next is seasoning… If you apply the seasoning used for boiled potatoes…”

The food I’m going to cook from now on is Bulgogi, one of Korea’s representative meat dishes.

Beef bulgogi is more delicious, but I’m going to try pork bulgogi first.

Because the only meat in my inventory is pork.

That’s why I asked the party members to go hunting.

That huge black cow that pulled our cart the other day.

If you go around the lake, they’ll be roaming around in groups, so they’ll catch a lot.

First of all, once you have completed the recipe, it is relatively easy to arrange it with various meats.

Grind the garlic and mix it with soy sauce and sugar.

First of all, we can start when the seasoning is complete.

I dipped the finished seasoning with my little finger and seasoned it.

[It seems to be too salty.]

‘Hmm…’

[Skill: Failure is the mother of success]

This is a skill that minimizes failures in developing new dishes.

Since the message appears in this way even in the middle of the cooking process, rather than a failed dish after cooking, the waste of ingredients was minimized.

I checked the message and adjusted the ratio of soy sauce and sugar dozens of times.

And the result.

[It doesn’t seem bad.]

This message started popping up.

First of all, since the first completion is important, finding a better message comes later.

I quickly moved on to the next step.

Pour the finished seasoning into thinly sliced pork, finely chop onions, carrots, green onions and mushrooms and mix.

“About 30 minutes?”

I think I have to wait for the marinade to soak into the pork, but I don’t know how much time is right.

If I had known it would be like this, I would have watched cooking YouTube often.

I can’t help it.

You have no choice but to go through trial and error by repeating it several times.

Since there was a marinade that was completed in large quantities to adjust the seasoning, I divided the meat into several bowls and soaked it.

Then 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 25 minutes…

To find the right time, I started grilling meat aged in various versions in a frying pan.

Cheehee-

When the soy sauce seasoning touches the heated pan, the sweet scent stimulates the tip of the nose.

‘Is your mouth watering already?’

There was also a way to mix water with the sauce, but I decided to use vegetables.

As time passed, moisture began to seep out of the vegetables.

As the pork is getting more and more cooked, the familiar look that I ate often is being completed.

[Failed to cook.]

– The seasoning was burnt and stuck to the bottom of the pan.

‘Oh…’

Again, I didn’t have the luck to succeed in one attempt.

But the table next to it is already full of seasoned pork.

All you have to do is wipe the pan and then grill another version of the seasoned meat.

Fail, fail, fail…

Repeated failure several times.

‘No, this system knows what kind of dish I’m making and says it’s a failure? This is enough to eat!’

I’m annoyed and angry, but I can’t help it.

You have no choice but to keep trying.

‘At this rate, I’m going to use a whole pig to make one serving of bulgogi.’

Chef License Skill Isn’t this a scam?

I don’t know if it was just a waste of skill points.

When the level rises, I need to raise the master cooking skill first.

First of all, you have to raise your cooking skill level.

Since then, I have had countless failures.

‘Ha…Was bulgogi such a difficult dish?’

What is the problem?

I tasted a little of the failed bulgogi that was made most plausibly.

[The meat seems too tough.]

No, I’m sick of meat, so what should I do?

From a while ago, only that message continues.

I wondered if the baking method was the problem, so I tried various things, but it didn’t work at all.

If you were going to give me a hint, could you give it in a little more specific way?

What about tough stuff?

So you sliced it as thin as possible!

I didn’t see anything like tendons!

“Haa…”

Then a word suddenly came to my mind.

‘Wait a minute… Muscle tenderization?’

I remember hearing that word.

I know that the meat is aged to make it tender, but was the amount of time left in the soy sauce too short?

No.

The meat that was marinated in spices for nearly an hour.

There must be something missing.

“Oh, fruit!”

Come to think of it, I heard that high-quality bulgogi uses less sugar and sweetened with fruits.

‘It’s plausible.’

Tenderize meat with fruit.

The fruits that immediately come to mind are pears and apples.

I don’t remember where exactly, but I remember seeing those two things go into bulgogi or braised ribs.

‘Ah, at this timing when all the apples are used up…’

The only fruit in the inventory is the pineapple given by Lemon.

‘Huh?’

Pineapple?

Undoubtedly, pineapples also boast a great sugar content.

Besides, the meat seems to be tender.

‘Well, I have to try it. What can I do?’

I immediately started making the seasoning again.

I reduced the amount of sugar and added grated pineapple in the empty place.

Trial and error were repeated again.

‘It’s gone!’

Then the message that the meat was tough disappeared.

And finally.

[Succeeded in a new dish.]

“It’s done! Keuheuk… Finally!”

[A new recipe has been registered in the recipe book. You have become the first registrant of this recipe. You have the right to enter the dish name.]

“Ask me what!”

[Registered. The name of the new dish is ‘Pork Bulgogi’.]

Ring!

[The chef class level has increased.]

The level barely rose.

Level 11 now.

“How did you make it, only 1 up… But!”

This is the beginning.

Bulgogi can be made not only with pork, but also with beef or chicken.

Once the seasoning is complete, the variations are endless.

‘And above all…’

The Carlisle boar, and the black water buffalo pulling the cart, whose name I forgot to hear.

If you use the meat of the guys, as before, various versions of bulgogi will be completed.

I invested one skill point in the Master Cooking skill.

Then, I plan to head straight to the village chief’s house.

To hand over the finished bulgogi to taste, and to receive new meat.

‘Ah, before that, I’ll have to taste it first.’

Let’s taste how delicious non-tough bulgogi is.

* * *

“Kahhahahaha, this taste! Yeah, it’s this taste! Well, well, well, Kya … Crazy. Rice! Bulgogi is also rice! Do?”

Jeon Tae-min, who has set up a stall in the middle of an empty lot, bursts into exclamation while tasting the bulgogi he made.

The grown-ups went hunting, and the remaining children and young wolves in the village run around and play near the clearing and look at him in unison.

The unique sweet soy sauce aroma of bulgogi spread all over the place.

The children who smelled the scent could not control themselves and ran toward him all at once.

“Uncle! What is that?”

“Whoa, whoa!”

“Myketa…”

“I also eat and seapo…”

Taemin smiled brightly as he looked at the sudden group of children.

“What time is it?

“Wow!”

“I’m playing over there. I’ll call you when it’s finished.”

“Yes!”

The cheers of the children continued, and Taemin started making a new bulgogi.

“Tada! That’s it! Guys, line up! Line up! Whoever doesn’t stand in line won’t give it.”

“What kind of dish is this? It smells so delicious.”

“This is a dish called pork bulgogi rice bowl.”

Less than an hour had passed since he registered the new menu.

Nor did he use any other meat.

However, another new recipe was registered in Jeon Tae-min’s recipe book.

That’s pork bulgogi rice bowl.

I made a bit more seasoning and put the finished bulgogi on top of freshly cooked white rice.

With just that, another new recipe was completed.

‘Crazy. Would you like to use this opportunity to register more than 10 new recipes?’

Lemon When will this guy come?

Taemin anxiously waited for her to come back, wanting to quickly try out her new dish.

No, rather than that, what kind of expressions Lemon, Mumu, and Melissa will make after eating Bulgogi.

Actually, I was expecting more.
