Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest
chapter-103

After getting down the Wild Boar, the Mushroom Brigade decided to help in cooking. Chef, the talented cooking specialist of the Brigade had been helping me at cooking since he was summoned with us, and he's a gentle and cheerful little mushroom. I was already missing Rita and Titan here, and even more Acorn, but it was late already, probably those three were sleeping for all I know.

I began putting the large chunks of wild boar meat over the table, as the mushrooms began to drool over the tasty red color of the meat, it was just ready to cook in many ways. And I really wanted to see how far I could go with my newly harvested ingredients as well; I think the food I could make out of this would be godly! Maybe I could even sell it in the market or something.

"Thanks for the wild boar you guys, it was a great gift! I was feeling a bit lonely but you came just in time! I am glad to have you all with me." I sighed with a smile, as the Mushroom Brigade all felt suddenly touched.

"Our lady, our duty is to serve you." Said Sporegon, the only one of the mushrooms with a serious face that is quite comical when put in that tiny body.

"Indeed! With us, you'll never feel alone anymore." Said Chef.

"For now, my lady, maybe we should begin cooking? I'm quite hungry! As an Alchemist, I consider cooking just another way of doing Alchemy, so let me aid you as well." Said a green cap mushroom girl, Alice, the alchemist of the brigade.

"I-I can also cook a little bit. It is not so hard! …Right?" Wondered Magius, the purple-cap mushroom girl, she was an offensive mage more than anything.

"Well you girls can join us if you want to, there's no problem at all." I said with a smile.

"The rest of you prepare things for dinner, I also want a few of you to set up some fire so we can begin making grilled meat, is that alright?" I asked.

"Yes, leave it to us!"

"Sounds easy enough."

"Indeed!"

With that said, we immediately began cooking. We moved into the big kitchen which I had made sure to make as big as possible, as sometimes we would be processing very big ingredients. I had placed a lot of the vegetables we harvested over two large tables, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, and the like, and in another table I put up the wild boar meat and bones.

I wanted to prepare three dishes with everything, pasta using the noodles I made with the flour and eggs dropped from shadow crows and pasta made with the Vitality Tomatoes and the meat of the boar cut into tiny chunks, alongside Pepperine and other seasonings, I also wanted to make a delicious stew using the potatoes, carrots, onions, and the meat and bones, and lastly, I wanted to make a meatloaf in the oven.

We had constructed the kitchen thanks to the [Construction] Skill that one of the Mushrooms had, and the kitchen looked a lot like the one back in real life, but it worked in base of magic, I had to infuse Mana into it for it to work properly, but it worked wonders anyways, so there shouldn't be any problems. Of course, if I can find an Architect with higher level, I might try to buy him a better kitchen, but for now this is more than I could had ever asked for.

"Chef, Magius, and Alice, you three can make the meatloaf like I taught you, right? Add boiled eggs too, and carrots, onions, and garlic if possible. Here's the piece of meat, cut it into tiny pieces with knives made from the lake snake scales. They're sharp so watch out." I said.

"Alright!" Said Chef, quickly beginning to use his [Cooking] and [Cooking Utensil Techniques] which made him a master at the usage of knives. I wish I could get that Skill but I can't for now…

"Let's prepare the boiled eggs for now." Said Alice.

"I'll cut down the onions and the garlic…" Said Magius.

Meanwhile, I quickly began to boil the pasta at the side, I've already left it premade from long ago, and it had been slightly dried, but it was good to boil right away. I also cut down the tomatoes into tiny pieces alongside several fatty and soft pieces of the wild boar meat, which I cut into almost minced meat with extreme precision through the power of the Cooking Skill and… a knife!

After all of that was done, I mixed it over a pan and added some sunflower oil I processed out of actual sunflowers I planted some time ago. I began to fry everything over it, the meat, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and I slowly added more spices, a tasty scent of the vegetable's juices mixing together quickly took over the entire house, it was godly.

After that, I slowly began adding water and boiled it down, adding more tomatoes until the entire sauce turned red, and I added a bit more of salt and other seasonings and left boiling with a small fire, this is the tomato sauce I learned to make back home, it is tasty and quick to make, although I wish we could have tomato sauce from a convenience store!

After I left both the pasta and the tomato sauce boiling, I swiftly moved towards making the stew, cutting onions, potatoes, carrots, meat and adding bones and the like, alongside a lot of water, salt, spices, and boom! Boiling it down. That should do it.

The other three mushrooms worked swiftly, and were already putting the meatloaf in the oven… Hm, everything was smelling delicious. I didn't knew I would feast myself with such tasty food tonight in the game, the good thing about a VR Game is that I can eat all I want without growing fatter!
