269 – Pork Course Meal
Dragon’s magic power.
It is the power to bring about miracles.
The source of this power is, of course, the heart,
In other words, magical power is created from the dragon heart.
Therefore, it is natural that as you grow, the amount of power you can handle increases.
As dragons become adults, their bodies develop so that they can store a greater amount of magical power. This magical power continues to accumulate if it is not consumed.
Most magical power is stored in the heart,
If this continues, of course the heart will swell.
As you grow, the size of the magic pouch (dragon heart) that can contain magic power also increases.
In other words, in most cases, the size of the dragon heart increases in proportion to age. The more magic power it has accumulated, the more it swells to the point where it is noticeable on the outside.
However, the case of males was a little different.
Magic power was not stored only in the heart.
This power was distributed evenly to the muscles of the entire body and stored.
Most female dragons would store all their magical power in the dragon heart located on their chest.
The reason was really simple.
In that case, when I did polymorph,
Because it looked much better from an aesthetic point of view.
‘What? Sonya and Eros… It seems like my hips and breasts have gotten bigger? Is this because of my mood?’
The breeder, who was unaware of this fact, could not help but wonder.
ㅡBangbang… !
True to what he said, the magic power pockets of the two hatchlings were subtly swollen.
It was slightly different from growth due to leveling up.
In the case of Derke, the whole body grew,
Sonya and Eros had particularly swollen magical power pockets.
It felt much more luminous than before.
Have we gotten closer to the word maturity?
It was a clear comparison with other second graders.
“The ssam that the teacher made… ! “I feel like I’m gaining strength as if my stomach is full!”
“Ssam… I was surprised that my mouth was fuller than I expected. Still, compared to Mr. Pervert, it is a leisurely size… Phew-& Anyway, even with my poor skills, it was quite edible!”
Sonya and Eros, who ate all the ssam, leave a favorable review.
As Sonya said, the two hatchlings only felt a surge of strength, but had not yet noticed a change in their appearance.
ㅡBaanhi…
Perhaps he was completely enamored with the taste of 7-star meat. The guys were still anxiously waiting for the breeder to grill the meat.
“Hmm… ! I’m glad you like it. There is still a lot of meat, so feel free to eat the rest without me having to give it to you.”
The breeder was concerned about the two breasts.
But he deliberately pretended not to know.
I didn’t point it out because I thought it would be rude.
Besides, there was one more thing I was curious about.
‘Could it be that your maximum stamina and magical power increase every time you eat a piece of meat?’
ㅡPhew! Cook… !
ㅡDalgurak, dalgak… !
Just then, a fork rushes onto the grill and snatches up the well-cooked meat.
“Haaap… ! It definitely feels different from the meat I eat every time! “Teacher, you are the best!”
“Tch-♡ I hate to admit my poor workmanship, but… It’s definitely delicious. “It’s pretty good for human subjects, right?”
“Zeros, do you talk a lot? The teacher even sweated while baking it… !”
“Joy…! Who doesn’t have good taste? I don’t really like fatty meat, but this is more savory than I thought, right? It even melts in your mouth… ?!”
ㅡWagu wagu!
These guys can swallow up more than a pound of meat in an instant. The pork belly that was placed on the iron plate was gone in the blink of an eye.
ㅡChukchuk!
-Gulp… !
The speed at which it is eaten is no joke.
The appetite of an apex predator.
As a hatchling in its prime of growth, it was tireless.
‘Uhm… I knew it. ‘Isn’t it possible to overlap?’
But unfortunately, the growth remained the same.
After the additional ability is initially activated,
The size of the mana barrel remained unchanged.
Unfortunately, because it was a permanent effect, it seemed to only be reflected once. Well, there is no way the system would allow a bug or a shortcut like this.
ㅡDori Dori
The breeder shakes his head as he prepares the next meat.
Still, it’s already too early to feel regretful.
The effect of whole pork belly ends with this,
Because there was still the next course, pork neck.
If this goes beyond 5 stars, you will be able to get additional random abilities.
When a breeder is given the opportunity,
I planned to grow these two properly.
Of course, we’ll have to wait a little longer to see if it turns out as he hoped.
ㅡChii Iik… !
Oval-shaped neck meat is placed on the iron plate.
Relatively thin compared to whole pork belly.
Because of this, it cooks much faster on the grill.
The cross-section of the meat is grilling deliciously in the heat of the already heated iron plate.
Chuck meat is a relatively lean part of the body, except for the fat around the border.
Moisture is the lifeblood of neck meat.
As it is commonly said,
The point is to cook it crispy on the outside but keep the inside moist.
Pork belly has less fat than pork belly.
If you do it wrong, it will quickly become dry.
Therefore, it was an area where fire control was the key.
If you try to cook pork thoroughly, you will end up throwing away good meat.
ㅡChiek! Sizzling sizzling… !!!
In the beginning, the point is to sufficiently trigger the Maillard reaction using the heat raised on the grill.
‘Hey… What meat looks like real beef.’
The breeder swallows his saliva as he looks closely at the pork neck he is grilling. The color of the neck meat was that beautiful.
Was it because there was still fat from the pork belly?
The color looks like baking pancakes.
It was dark brown, like a steak.
This was possible because Wild Berkshire’s meat was so good.
Ha, just looking at it makes me hungry.
Now that I think about it, whole pork belly…
I only ate one piece, right?
“Whoa…”
The breeder who was grilling meat let out a small sigh.
This is the fate of those who grill meat.
There are people who work hard to bake,
There are people who take it like a baby bird.
-Growling… !
The strong smell of meat makes my stomach rumble intermittently.
‘I have to make sure I get my share of the meat…’
ㅡChii Iik… !
It was time for the breeder to check the doneness of the neck meat while making a promise to himself.
“Hey, Mr. Breeder? “You’re doing this by eating some of this!”
“Huh? Miss Sonya?”
“You just kept baking it and barely ate it…?!”
ㅡUgh… !
Sonya stands up and hands a thickly rolled wrap to the breeder. He expressed his wish to eat it himself just like he fed it to him.
‘This is my chance to get points from the teacher… ! I can’t lose to Eros forever!’
It was like that. Sonya, who is quick-witted, deliberately left a few points behind. To give a small reward to the breeder who always prepares delicious dishes.
“Ah? Did you leave it there on purpose? For me?”
“Yeah, that’s right… ! Anyway, please eat it quickly before the meat gets cold!”
Sonya, her blush her, her filling her face her, is unable to meet her eyes her and breathes in her stomach. A wrap of red lettuce bigger than her own fist.
ㅡSook!
And with those words, Sonya semi-forcibly stuffs ssam into the breeder’s mouth.
Was it because he had already received Dragon Heart several times? Strangely enough, the large ssam passes smoothly into the breeder’s mouth.
“… Cough?!”
Of course, his cheeks were puffy as if they were about to burst as he accepted the fight.
From noble mtl dot com
ㅡWow! Crunch… !
The breeder moved his jaw and chewed the wrap.
ㅡHot! Hot!
Sonya blushed at this sight.
I am embarrassed to be the one who fed the ssam.
Maybe I wasn’t used to this kind of behavior.
“… Cough, cough! “It tastes even better because it was made by Sonya.”
ㅡMumble… !
Although he was embarrassed when a large ssam suddenly came at him, the breeder kept a smiling face and swallowed the ssam to the end.
Because I couldn’t lose Sonya’s expectations.
And it was actually delicious.
It’s just that the amount was excessive.
“W-Is that really?!”
“Sure. “I was hungry at the time, so thank you.”
“Then I still have more meat left, so I can make more…” ” ” …”
ㅡRustling… !
So Sonya immediately tries to make ssam again. Fist-sized lettuce wraps filled with a lot of selfishness.
“Ahaha… ! That’s fine with me, but can we focus on the meat for a moment? “It’s almost completely baked now.”
“Ahh… Ah, I understand… !”
Although Sonya’s heart she was wonderful,
If she swallows something like this again, she’ll suffocate.
I never thought I could fill my stomach with just one ssam…
ㅡChief… !
ㅡSnip! Snap!
Before we know it, the meat on her neck is almost completely cooked.
However, the cross section of the meat is still pink.
To when she grilled the pork belly, it was much undercooked.
But this was intentional.
If you bake it any longer, it will become dry.
If the neck meat has been grilled this much, it is almost done.
Just grill the part with fat on the top of the neck meat a little more in the center of the iron plate, and lightly roll the remaining part like this once.
There may be differences of opinion as to whether it is too undercooked, but pork is safe as long as it is cooked above 63 degrees for about 3 minutes.
Of course, it is difficult to enjoy it rare or medium like beef, but this level is enough to enjoy the rich juiciness and moisture.
‘Okay, is this perfect?’
ㅡRattle… !
“Now, this part is neck meat. “Let’s try this the same way before it cools down.”
The breeder hands out a piece one by one in a confident voice.
The neck meat was not primed separately,
Still, it’s such good raw meat…
I’ll definitely give it at least 5 stars this time too, right?
