Chapter.11 The bet between the northern forest and chestnuts

was established. Now is the time to teach this dragon how to cook. I took this as an opportunity.

If that’s the case, I’ll have to finish stewing the chestnuts quickly anyway.

One of the most difficult tasks in making stewed chestnuts is peeling them. We concentrated for a while, inflating the bet in our heads.

“Wow, it’s hard!”

Maybe it was because of his determination to win the bet, but for some reason, our dragon didn’t use any tricks and came out to the end and cracked the chestnut shell. Honestly, it’s amazing.

“Are you done? Then shall we try it? “If it’s about the roasted chestnuts I ate before, I’ve won!”

“No, that means it’s still far away. “When you’re done, shout like that.”

The night after I cleaned it, I filled it with water again.

This work is an important point. You need to soak it overnight for half a day with the baking soda you created. If this task is neglected, the unique astringent taste of chestnuts will remain in the stewed chestnuts.

So, wait for the chestnut stew for now.

He said he was having a hard time, left Rurin lying on the restaurant table with a beer, and started business for dinner. And I meditate at night. After a day, start boiling the soaked chestnuts.

This is hard work again.

If you boil it for 30 to 40 minutes, dark colored water will seep out, and the chestnut fur will stick out, making it reminiscent of muddy water. The color is darker than muddy water.

Boil it and the water will come out. Of course, it doesn’t end there. Discard the brown water, add clean water again, and boil.

If you repeat this 4-5 times, the water will barely shine with a clear color. It is not a completely clear color, but a slightly brown and purple color. The important thing is that the water must have a sense of transparency. That’s the right time.

Take out the boiled chestnuts and remove the stem-like parts. If you boil the fur part of the yulpi a few times, it will flow out into the water on its own and most of it will be removed, so there is no need to touch it.

By this point, Yulpi will become very smooth.

The important thing is that you should not completely remove the yulpi. It’s normal if you can’t see the yellow inside.

At this point, it is almost complete. Add sugar here. The amount of sugar may vary depending on taste, but stewed chestnuts are all about the sweet taste.

Add sugar generously for a delicious snack. I think the right amount should fill about half of the pot with chestnuts.

The smell of chestnuts wafts through the kitchen. The sweet smell of night.

When clearing away the bubbles, you have to use your own know-how from here.

In my case, brandy. It is finished with the highest quality cognac. This is because the scent of cognac adds a deep flavor to stewed chestnuts.

Of course, soy sauce and cheap wine. Alternatively, you can use cheap brandy and there are various methods such as adding honey, but in the end, I use cognac.

Add cognac and bring to a boil.

It’s done when the alcohol evaporates and smoke rises.

Sugar and cognac are boiled down into yulpi, creating a sweet chestnut snack with the scent of high-quality liquor.

If you store this in a glass bottle for a long time, it will become sweeter and you can eat it as soon as you make it.

A world without proper snacks.

It’s the best gift.

Complete by pouring the thick liquid of chestnuts and brandy boiled together in a glass bottle.

I immediately called Lulin.

To settle the bet.

Lurin approaches holding a beer can. It’s a return after being alone in the enjoyment of beer.

“Why are you doing that?”

His eyes are bright as he puts down the beer can and asks. Of course, those eyes will now fall into the abyss of despair. The pit of despair that comes from losing a bet.

I held out a glass jar containing stewed chestnuts in front of Rurin. And he put a fork in my hand. Of course, Lulin draws a question mark on her face.

“Now that the chestnuts that I baked together are finally complete, shall we settle the bet?”

“oh? Is this it? Mmm, that doesn’t look delicious! Hi-Hi. “I won!”

“Is this the mouth that says such things without even tasting it?”

As I held Rurin’s moist lips with both hands, Rurin shook her head vigorously.

“Uuuuuuu!”

This cannot be interpreted. There is no way to know what they are saying. Because I grabbed your lips.

In that state, I moved Rurin’s wrist holding the fork and took pictures of the stewed chestnuts. And when I open my mouth, I immediately scream.

“Anyway, I won!”

Then, he sniffs the stewed chestnuts on his fork and repeats the sniffing process. This was my first time seeing Lurin observe food so much.

After observing for a while, Lurin finally put some stewed chestnuts in her mouth.

Chew thoroughly. Chew. Chew.

come.

come.

A response comes. Within seconds.

I know Rurin’s tastes best. I am the one who tamed that appetite.

“Oh oh!”

Yes, just like this.

Lurin let out a sound without realizing it. It is an exclamation that it is undoubtedly delicious. The true meaning behind Lurin’s face is that I am confident that I can guess it in any situation.

“Oh?”

“no. not delicious!”

Lurin’s bright face, which had been cheering at the delicious food, suddenly frowned, closed her mouth, and began to use the skill to show a straight face.

“What?”

But my hand was already stabbing another chestnut with my fork. Instinct and mouth work separately.

“Yum yum it’s not tasty. So, I’m stuck all day long.”

“It’s really delicious, isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

“It’s sweet and smells good, and the texture is soft and spreads in your mouth?”

“huh! Sweet!”

“But it’s not delicious?”

“Yes.”

Elation.

Even though there are contradictions in his words, he is triumphant. One thing you need to know is confidence. Lulin confidently placed his hand on the glass bottle again. I shook my head. Lurin continued to stuff stewed chestnuts into her mouth.

“The sweetness is luxurious. Hi-Hi.”

“yes. “It’s luxurious and sweet, but it’s not delicious, right?”

“Uuhdaaa!”

I nodded vigorously with my mouth full of chestnuts. I smiled at Lurin. And issued an ultimatum.

“I understand, so I am appointing you on duty this evening.”

“eww… “Let’s starve tonight, dear.”

Unable to resist my words, Lurin subtly stuck out her tail as if she was being stabbed herself. But the words sticking out their tails are very shocking. Let’s starve.

I would say this is the first thing I heard after meeting Rurin. This is equivalent to the sun rising in the west.

“Don’t be funny, I’ll teach you, so give it a try. okay?”

“Gather!”

Rurin shook her head as she filled herself with chestnuts again. No matter who sees it, it is my victory. The V of victory is embroidered in front of Rurin.

“Rice is just something to eat… .”

The loser just spits out nonsense and grumbles. Then, carrying a glass jar of stewed chestnuts, he trudged over and fell into the corner of the restaurant.

Customers arrive and dinner business begins.

After letting go of the few regulars, the time has finally come.

Lulin was avoiding reality and dozing off after eating all the stewed chestnuts in a glass jar by himself.

“Lurin wake up. “I need to eat, right?”

“bar… pressure? “Is it food?”

At the sound of food, my eyes widen. However, he soon frowned as if he recognized the reality.

“rice… “This body isn’t doing it, is it?”

“That’s right, you’re doing it. Come on.”

“This bet is a scam! There’s no way your cooking isn’t delicious! “It was a ridiculous bet!”

“Come now?”

“Why not?”

“huh.”

Lurin was dragged into the kitchen like a death row inmate being dragged to the execution ground. Since I was a novice cook, they gave me an apron. Was a dragon wearing an apron so unique? While holding the apron in his hands, he picked up his partner’s legs and twisted his hair. What kind of bad girl are you?

To be honest, I don’t expect much from my first dish. But at least you have to use a frying pan and fire to be able to say you cooked.

Among them, which one is the easiest to cook?

I took out Palenque eggs and tomatoes. I’m thinking of making that simple stir-fried egg and tomato. Although it is a very simple side dish, it is rich in nutrients and flavor.

Stir-fried eggs and tomatoes are so common in China that they are called the national side dish. It may be somewhat unfamiliar in Korea, but it suits the tastes of Koreans very well.

The reason I came up with this dish was because I had leftover tomatoes and Palenque eggs left in the kitchen, so after putting the ingredients on the cutting board, I called Lurin over and made her stand in front of the frying pan.

“Before I met you, I just swallowed my food in one mouthful. “I don’t know how to cook!”

“Okay, now look. You should be able to cook at least one thing. is not it? “If you’re good at cooking, you’ll be loved?”

“uh? “To whom?”

“To my husband?”

“To you?”

“Now, first put oil in the pan.”

I ignored Rurin’s words and poured olive oil into the frying pan. Lurin’s eyes suddenly lit up and she began glaring at the frying pan.

“This is where you break the Falen Q egg and put it in.”

“You mean this guy?”

“huh.”

Lurin suddenly showed confidence and held the Falen Q egg in her hand. Palenque eggs are a little larger than eggs, but not so big that you can’t hold them in one hand.

Kwasik!

However, the Palenque egg in Lulin’s hands soon died. It breaks and flows to the ground. It is the result of grasping with force.

Oh my, you dragon beginner in cooking.

“Now look, I’ll show you what to do. Watch and follow.”

Shoot!

He nods his head when I say this while wiping Rurin’s hand with a splash of water. Always nod your head well. Just head.

“Now, first heat a frying pan with olive oil and crack the Palenque eggs with both hands like this. “Only an expert can break it with one hand.”

Tap the corner to create a crack, then place it in a bowl. Then, I added an appropriate amount of salt and started stirring.

“These Palenque eggs are called eggs? Once the egg water is made like this, pour it into a heated frying pan. “Let’s sleep in a circle like this.”

When I poured the egg water, the egg started to react roughly with the olive oil. Scrambles are simpler than egg rolls or fried eggs. Once it starts to ripen properly, you can just pluck it.

Once the scramble is complete, combine tomatoes cut into appropriate sizes, add chopped green onions, and fry again.

“Oooh it looks easy!”

Rurin said she understood and started breaking eggs in a bowl. He is more proficient than when he did not demonstrate. I started breaking the eggs in the bowl with a fork. So I added salt. The liver is very important, so a little help would be nice.

“The yellow one looks delicious.”

“yes? Now pour it into the frying pan.”

“i get it!”

Rurin nods and pours egg mixture into the frying pan. It looks like he’s doing well right away. Then, just like me, he used a spatula to break up the egg water that was cooking in the frying pan.

“And it is also important to control the firepower directly with the fireball.”

“Right.”

Lulin started creating a fireball under the unlit frying pan.

But this is where disaster occurs.

Kwaaaaaaaa!

The frying pan hits the ceiling and falls to the floor. The egg exploded into charcoal soot due to the power of the fireball.

Fireball is so needlessly strong.
