67 – much spicier and pungent

“… I can’t handle this… ! I will help you!”

It’s scary to fill the inside with similar budaejjigae, so there’s something to do right away. I just can’t see him standing still.

It was something I had to do, but

Can’t we get some rest?

Now, even if I’m just breathing, work will find me on its own… … .

Before being possessed by Destiny Dragons,

I was desperately looking forward to a new job.

It was at a time when I had just retired.

But did the wind become the root of the problem?

When I came to this world, I was full of clothes.

Now, if you want to take a breather, a new job will appear.

There was only one body of this unknown identity, but quests continued to appear every day.

“Ha, what are you so upset about? How do I know that you, the head of the kitchen, don’t know?”

“It’s just to come and see! It’s the first ingredient I’ve ever seen in my life!”

ㅡ Kwak… !

When the meal is over, Ramji grabs his hand and pulls it off.

Soft light pink jelly hands grabbed me.

This feel is quite strange.

It feels like a silicone pad touching your skin.

“How can I see you for the first time… … .”

“Lady Leirin said it! Breeder, I want you to handle it… !”

“Okay, let’s go slowly. It hasn’t even digested yet.”

It is said that it is a herbivorous animal, but a beast is a beast.

Certainly, they were stronger than humans.

I tried to hold out not to be dragged away, but it was in vain.

Before I knew it, I was dragged into the kitchen.

“This is… ! Lady Raylin gave me this and left… … !”

“yes? What is this? Is this the first time I’ve seen you?”

Inside the cooking room, guided by Ramjwi’s hand, there was a bunch of green onions that I had never seen before.

The elongated, greenish leaves really resembled green onions, but at the tip of the roots were clusters of bright red grains like cornelian fruit.

I have seen various ingredients while living on my own, but I swear I have never seen a plant like this. This is obviously a food ingredient that only exists in this world.

“I must have said that it was a flower that I found with difficulty in my hometown… !”

“Flowers?”

“hit-! Please ask me to make a hot taste with this and leave it all behind!”

It looks very different from the flowers I know.

Is it a flower because the kernels are bright red?

Or is it really a plant that catches fire?

“Then, let’s take a look at what?”

I tilted my head and approached the flower. You need to know what it is before you use it or not.

Depending on the inclination of the ingredients, the direction of the dish could change drastically.

ㅡ Kwak… !

“… … ?”

But for some reason, the ram rat grabbed my collar and pulled it off. To prevent approaching the flower.

“What are you doing now? When do you ask for help?”

“It’s better not to go near… ! very spicy… !”

Ramswie warned, grabbing his nose with one hand.

As expected, it seems to be a spice that gives off a spicy taste as expected of the name hwacho. It seems that the red kernels are the key to the spicy taste.

“Ah, if that’s the case, don’t worry. If it’s spicy, I have a tolerance for it.”

“Yeah, but… … !”

“It’s okay, trust me. And you need to know what to prepare or not to cook.”

Where is my original country of origin?

The country ranked first in average daily garlic consumption.

Isn’t it the geonah of kimchi soup that you eat by adding kkakdugi soup to normal rice soup?

This means that you already have a tolerance for tolerable spicy things.

“Let’s take a closer look… … ?”

ㅡBussleuk… !

Seeing it up close, the sharpness stings my nose.

It feels like you have raw wasabi stuck in your nose.

In particular, a strong smell vibrates from the bright red grains.

As expected, this granule seems to be the key.

This could be ground or brewed.

If you cut the green leaves into large pieces and use them as a substitute for green onions, you can get a much more spicy taste. … .

ㅡDuduk, Dduk, Dduk… !

As I endure the spiciness and roll my head for a while, my eyes naturally turn red. Even something thick falls down to the tip of the foot.

‘what? why do i have tears… … ?’

When I was looking at the flowers carefully for a long time,

Hot tears flowing down the Volga.

Tears won’t stop while your nose frowns.

“What, what is this… … ?!”

Even the hand holding the flower was swollen and red. like an allergic reaction.

“Crazy-! I told you! be careful… ! Wash your hands first with running water!”

This is the Scoville index that surpasses Korean spiciness.

‘Ha, this is not enough to make Budae Jjigae, but I can make something completely different… … ?’

*

ㅡ Tak-tak-tak-tak… !

After shedding tears,

I trimmed the ingredients with ramjwi.

The heavy kitchen knife on the cutting board makes a striking sound.

‘I have to finish it before Raylin arrives.’

After the heat subsided, the evening time was coming to an end. In a little while, Raylin will come to the kitchen just like yesterday.

Still, at this speed, the material preparation will be over soon, right?

With Ramjwi, the ingredients were trimmed quickly.

Sausages, vegetables, and seasonings.

It wasn’t difficult since I had already done it once.

It’s not like I practiced the day before.

There is nothing better than repetition mastery.

Especially if you don’t have natural talent.

Anyway, now all you have to do is use the flowers Raylin procured to bring out the spiciness.

‘If I hadn’t personally experienced the heat of flowers earlier, I wouldn’t have thought of what to make.’

My hands and eyelids are still tingling.

This wasn’t just spiciness.

It was close to a sharp, tingling pain.

Thanks to this pain, I had a clear direction on what to make. He had the confidence to snip at Raylin’s taste for hot spicy food.

“I have finished preparing the ingredients… !”

“okay? Then, Ramju, you are out.”

“Why are you leaving all of a sudden… ?”

“If you want to go out, go out. If you don’t want to die of hunger. I’m going to take care of the plants from now on.”

“Crazy-! Oh, let me know… … !”

Ramswie jumped out of the kitchen in amazement at my words.

“Hey, even if I tell you not to shout, he won’t listen. Anyway, shall we do it now?”

—-Sirreuk… !

I made up my mind and covered my face with my cooking gloves and apron. As if wearing a hijab, only eyes were peeking out.

It was to prepare for the mighty spiciness of the flower.

ㅡSong! song! song! song!

First, the green leaves were cut lengthwise.

As big as the size of tteokbokki.

As I said before, if you add it at the end instead of green onions, the spice will be doubled.

ㅡKuzik! Kkap, kagagak… !

Next, the pomegranate-like kernels attached to the roots were washed once in water and ground in a mortar.

“Cool, cool! Kek, it’s spicy… … !”

The kernels burst open, exuding something like red juice and flesh. At the same time, tears also flowed. No matter how much I hid my face, I was never safe.

The feeling of facing the undiluted capsaicin.

However, as I endured it and closed it, I could see the end before I knew it.

‘The color is bloody… … .’

A bowl filled with red liquid and solids. The color is so bright red that it even makes me shudder a little.

However, with this level of spiciness, Reirin’s strategy is obvious.

If you look at it roughly,

It reminds me of dubanjang, a Chinese sauce.

It seems that he is not from the eastern part of the Drango continent for nothing.

“Please, you should come out as well as you thought…” … .”

As for Sophia and Reirin, I was just grateful that they procure the key ingredients on their own to satisfy their taste buds.

So I have no choice but to work hard and repay you.

ㅡ Tak! Roaring… !!

The magic stone stove lights up in blue.

This is where the real cooking begins.

A dish that goes beyond spicy and satisfies Reirin, who enjoys the savory taste.

‘I never dreamed that I would be able to make this myself… … .’

Are you cooking in another world?

Even thinking about it myself, my situation is ridiculous.

But this is all a struggle to survive.

To be precise, it was an act to guarantee better treatment at the academy.

“Rammwi-! Bring me some trimmed ingredients! First, would you like some oil and dried paprika?”

“Okay… !”

Ram-jwi, who had only noticed from afar, appears at my call with ingredients on a cart. Still holding his nose with one hand.

ㅡJurruk!

ㅡCheeeik… !!!

I heated up a pot like a deep wok and put oil on it. So much so that the floor is submerged.

And dried paprika.

That is, the red pepper was immediately dropped.

The spicy scent of paprika comes up.

Paprika usually refers to sweet peppers that are not as spicy as green peppers, but yesterday I told Ramswie and asked for something as spicy as possible.

—-They… !

I just sautéed the peppers in oil and served them with chili oil.

Bright red oil is already rising from the strong heat of the stove.

“Ku-luck! Hehe… !”

“Cough, Cough… … !!”

Only red pepper oil was produced, but a violent coughing sound erupted from the lamb rat.

“Breeder? Already too spicy… ! I don’t think this is a bag stew… … !”

Ramswi is already making a fuss and swearing. Even so, it sharply points out the core of its own.

“right. This is not budaejjigae.”

“Stick-? So what are you making now? ?!”

“… Mara.”

“Ah, sorry… ! Take it habitually! the sound… !”

“No, have you ever heard of Mara?”

“Crazy… ?”
