YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (2)

Chapter 243: Coconut Madness!

There isn't only one or two dishes inside Grey's mind, there were a myriad that he wanted to try out. Of which, some were something he only remembered seeing on the television screen. Dishes he didn't have the chance to make before.

Well, that was all in the past now. What matters is the present which he's in right now. With the amount of ingredients he has, he can go wild without holding back. There was no need to be wary of failure. After all, undergoing trial and error is also part of a cook's life.

"Next is garlic... Spring onions... Chives... Ginger..." ［Grey］

He chopped and he chopped. As Grey moved his hands and knife, the chopped up herbs and spices started piling up one after another, bowls upon bowls showing up as if there was no tomorrow.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was used to it, with the amount of onions he chopped, he would have cried multiple times already. But now, he was simply humming to himself as his hands moved at lightning speed.

Fwish Sizzle Sizzle

Soon, aromatic smells wafted through the air, mixing with the scent of the sea. Just a whiff of the spices as they sizzled in hot oil was enough to arouse one's appetite and make their stomach growl. Even the familiars couldn't help but look.

Though they mostly feed on corruption, they also eat real food from time to time and join Grey and Yuna on their meals. Just a single whiff from the aromas alone and they immediately knew an amazing dish was upon them.

"Master, are you making hamburg steak again?" ［Sirius］

"Hamburg steak! My favorite!" ［Vega］

"Oh! Did someone say hamburg steak?!" ［Kentaurus］

One after another, the familiars headed towards Grey's direction and took a seat from the wooden stalls present in the shed. All wore excited looks on their faces, their eyes sparkling as they wondered what Grey was cooking.

Even Arcturus who is usually the most composed of the six couldn't help but stare in anticipation at the mention of hamburg steaks. After all, be it the king of beasts or the rulers of demons, all fall under the allure and grandiosity of delicious foods.

"Hahaha. Unfortunately, this isn't hamburg steak." ［Grey］

"Hm? What is it then?" ［Kentaurus］

"Well, you'll have to find out later." ［Grey］

Grey hummed and the familiars tilted their heads in confusion. The sizzling sounds continued to echo as Grey stirred the spices and adjusted the flames. The aroma only got stronger and more alluring with the passing of time.

Soon, the familiars headed back to the beach and the sea, and continued playing amongst themselves. They splashed around, skipped about, and hopped cheerfully. They were adorable no matter where Grey looked at them.

Sizzle Frizzle Fwosh

The garlic and onions turned golden brown and the sizzling echoed louder as the marinated pork were thrown into the mix, stirring and flipping them gently until they turned a nice golden brown color.

Louder and louder the sizzle became, until such was turned into a simmer. Water and the marinade was added into the pot, letting the flames do it work and make the stew boil. An aromatic scent was adrift in the air.

Peppercorn, bay leaves, pineapple, and a little bit of salt joined the mix and the pot was covered with a metal lid. All that was left was to let it simmer in medium heat and wait until the pork becomes tender. A process which didn't take long with the use of a tool called magic.
