131 – Ramrat’s Reward
“I am not asking you to cook… ! It’s just giving you a recipe that’s good for hangover… ! Please please… !”
A ram rat begs for help with eager eyes.
Moisturizes your poopy eyes.
The guy even put his hands together and prayed.
I was trying to figure out the recipe somehow, stimulating my sympathy.
Because my recipe was the ticket to life extension.
“Hmm… ….”
Originally, I would have refused like a knife.
Of course, there is no time to spare.
Because it was even annoying.
And above all, it was necessary for Ramji to become self-reliant.
If you continue to receive help, your own development has no choice but to stop.
‘Hangover? It’s a beach…….’
But I couldn’t easily dismiss his request. I was looking for something suitable while brainstorming the hangover dishes in my head.
Isn’t that a request from Sophia?
Of course, it was a request to Ramji, but
Helping Ramju now means helping Sophia.
Well, I couldn’t just ignore Sophia’s affair yesterday, which had developed from a general sympathy target to a special romantic relationship. I wanted to help like this even in a place where I couldn’t see it.
“Help me only once-! Please… !”
“Well, yes.”
“I am really… ?! Yes, I lived-!!! Thank you very much!”
“Are you going to tell me the recipe instead? Is it your job to make it?”
“Okay! I, Ramz Hammes… ! Confidence!”
Ramswie shouted confidently, showing off the slightly growing white chest hair. Dude, it seems like it’s time to molt again.
“Anyway, it’s what Sofia asked me to do, so I’m helping you. So thank Sophia.”
“Okay… ! By the way, Breeder?”
“Huh? Why is there more?”
“It’s not like that… Why do you only call her by her first name? Isn’t that what it used to be-?”
“Ah… ? My, did I?”
“I just did that-!”
Ramji tilts his head and asks a question.
With a tone that seemed not like the usual me.
Come to think of it, I was making a mistake without realizing it.
“Kuhm… ! You must have heard wrong!”
“Jjik-? Apparently, until just now, only by name—”
“Okay, let’s go inside. I need to know what the ingredients are today to make a recipe or not!”
I got up hastily and cut off Ramswi’s words. Then he headed straight into the kitchen.
‘I was calling Sophia comfortably without knowing…….’
It may not be a big deal, but
It was quite embarrassing to me.
I was completely unaware of myself.
Since I had alone time with Sophia yesterday, I felt very close both physically and mentally.
Besides, Sophia was a lot older than me, but she was still very immature and clumsy as a woman. To the extent that she feels younger than me.
Anyway, it seems that for that reason, I let go without even realizing it.
“Ram rat? What is the original lunch menu today?”
I pretended nothing happened,
I looked around the kitchen inside the cooking room.
Inside, other prisoners were trimming the meat.
“Originally, today’s lunch was an assortment of grilled beef… !”
“A cow again? Wasn’t it T-bone steak last time?”
“Right! Most of the girls like meat, so a lot of meat comes in every day… !”
Ramji took the lead and guided them to the warehouse.
Then he pointed to the meat piled up inside.
Roughly speaking, such as sirloin and tenderloin,
It was pre-trimmed in various parts.
It was truly an ingredient suitable for grilling assorted dishes.
Except for the bones, all parts are there.
I guess he likes real meat.
“Haa, you can get rid of hangovers with just beef, which you get sick of if you eat too much of it, right? But I can’t bring dinner ingredients in advance…….”
“A breeder? Isn’t there something on the menu that’s good?!”
“Wait. Think about it.”
No matter how high-quality the prepared ingredients are,
The theme of lunch is none other than ‘Hangover’.
Speaking of hangover, it should have a taste that warms the stomach.
The basis of hangover was usually in a cool broth.
For example, bean sprout soup or North Korean rice soup,
Simply ramen is enough.
In other words, spicy and cool things are perfect for hangover.
By the way, there are soup dishes that can be made with various types of beef…….
“Oh? Okay… !”
“Breeder… ? Did you think of something good?”
“Ram rat? Don’t you have the bones I told you to take out the other day?”
“Jjik-?! Of course it’s well kept… ! I was going to ask how long I should keep it anyway-!”
Good job. I’ll have to try it out with what I have.
*
ㅡ Bubbling bubbling… !
Steam is spouting from a large pot.
Bubbles were boiling inside the pot.
White, muddy, foamy bubbles are seething.
Yes. The beef bones were boiling and the broth was pouring out.
The ram mouse has been keeping it pretty well.
According to him, after soaking the bones in water,
The remaining blood and impurities have been removed in advance.
The more I look at it, the more I’m not the one who doesn’t have a head.
Ramji also adapted quite quickly than I thought.
No, it’s been a few days and honestly, I’m on the sensible side.
Anyway, I didn’t know that the bones of the leftover T-bone steak would be used like this. If you’re a Korean, you have to boil the beef thoroughly, even the bones, and eat it.
It seems that there is really no part of the cow to be discarded.
To be generous with even the bones like this…….
Thanks to that, I came up with a good soup dish.
ㅡSlowly… ! Took!
“Ram rat? Ladies, do you all eat on time, even on weekends?”
I asked a question while skimming off the foam and impurities that floated to the surface with a ladle.
“This is my first semester, so I don’t know… !”
“Ah, that’s right. You were also new to this semester.”
“Still, if you’re not feeling well because of drinking, I wonder if you’ll come later than usual… !”
“Okay. It’s a pity that it takes time to boil, but it can’t be helped. Boil this broth as much as you can until the ladies arrive. Originally, you have to boil it for at least six hours.”
“Okay… ! All I have to do is add the things you told me to this broth and boil it separately-?!”
ㅡPalak, palak!
Ramzy exclaims with wide eyes as if looking at a notepad like a treasure map.
The recipe I just told you was written there. It is a soup dish that can be eaten made with broth made from cow bones.
“Yes. The ingredients written there, if you take care of them from now on, it will probably not be too late.”
“It’s not difficult if everyone sticks together… !”
“Yes, I think you just need to pay attention to the meat to be marinated. As I wrote, the point is to slice it as thinly as possible, so don’t forget.”
I looked through the guy’s memo together and checked the things to be careful about last.
“Okay… ! By the way, what’s the name of this?!”
“Oh, that? Should I call it seolleongtang, gomtang, or shabu-shabu…… ?”
“???”
“I don’t know. Just think of it as a hot pot dish. If the white soup is greasy, you can add chili powder or leftover flower extract from the last time.”
Yes. The recipe I passed down is beef broth shabu-shabu.
Originally, the shabu-shabu broth was made with dried fish such as dapo-ri and soy sauce, but there were no ingredients to make it right away, so they decided to brew bone broth.
In the broth, various vegetables, mushrooms,
And thinly sliced beef.
If you add a sauce to enhance the savory taste, the hearty hot pot is complete.
If you eat rice here, there will be no soup.
Of course, it was unreasonable to call it a fundamental hangover food. However, with the materials currently available, this was the best.
Because you couldn’t create something out of nothing.
“Huh? Has the time already been like this?”
After passing on all the recipes, the hands of the clock in the kitchen are pointing to 11:30 am.
It’s time for Sonya to come soon.
Now that the business at the restaurant is over,
I should go back to the dormitory soon.
It took too much time than I thought.
“Ram rat? Then, since I think I’m done, I’ll go.”
“Ah, the breeder-?! I have something to give you before I go!”
“Huh? What are you giving me?”
“Sorry for always getting help… ! I’m taking this!”
Along with that, the guy suddenly handed me a palm-sized sack and a canteen.
“What is this?”
“The freshly boiled broth is a precious crop mainly grown in the eastern part of the continent… ! I don’t really know how to use it! So, breeder, you take it!”
“Really? Well, thank you.”
I took it lightly.
The water bottle was hung on a belt,
The sack containing the crop was held in the hand.
It’s a precious crop from the east…….
In fact, I wasn’t very interested in the content.
Because the heart was the most important thing.
I thought I would always ask for help,
To repay you with sincerity.
It seemed that he was not a very shameless prisoner.
‘Oh, by the way, broth and precious crops? How are you going to use this?’
Receiving Ramjwi’s small courtesy, I shrugged my shoulders and left the cafeteria straight away.
“It’s heavier than I thought, isn’t it? If it’s a crop, did you even hear the seeds?”
As I went back to the dormitory, I stared at the small sack that Ramzy gave me.
Since I wasn’t particularly interested in grains, even opening the sack was annoying, but the modifier ‘precious’ aroused my curiosity.
Shall we take out a few and take a look?
ㅡ Patter… !
I shook off the sack and placed some of those precious crops on the palm of my hand.
“Huh? What? Red beans?”
The beans spilled out of the sack.
It was also a very bright red bean.
A visual that really suits the eastern part of the continent. It was a familiar shape to my eyes somewhere.
Oh, this… ?
“Oh my gosh, it’s red beans…… ?”
