284 – [5] Classic Cuisine
#284
The cadets placed the food they had prepared one by one on the table in front of them.
Of course, the smells did not mix.
Because the lid was covered to preserve heat, the evaluation was scheduled to be conducted slowly and fairly.
The lid of the first dish was opened, and the professor began a full-fledged evaluation.
“We tried to bring out the flavor of fire as much as possible.”
“Meat that was completely burned…… This is not to enhance the taste of fire, but to make coal. Hunters can’t fight after eating this. It won’t have any nutritional value, and it won’t taste good. 56 Points.”
Coal manufacturing.
56 Points.
“It’s a wild boar sandwich.”
“It looks good on the outside, but I guess I made a mistake when cleaning it, and it tastes so bad, like blood. Even if I had stayed here for just three or four more hours, I would have been filled with the scent of enjoyment. Next time, take care of it properly. 78 Points.”
Trim failure.
78 Points.
“Since we are vegan, we prepared a vegan meal that the professor would also like.”
“Vegan? Oh, no, where does all the meat caught through hunting go and is it all vegetables? Not even fish? If this is going to be the case, why are you taking this lecture? What are we going to do now? 33 Points.”
Vegan food.
33 Points.
“I thought endlessly about the true meaning of hunting. And after repeated hunting failures, we came to a conclusion. The conclusion is that it is not right to hunt in vain in the bosom of Mother Nature. “We concentrated the taste of imagination and enlightenment into an empty bowl.”
“…… 1 Point.”
Air food?
1 Point?
“I applied traditional Chinese seasoning. “It has a mild taste.”
“Cough! What kind of meat is this spicy! In your region, this tastes mild? If you eat this and fight, you will have stomach problems. For hunters, there is nothing more dangerous than stomach disease, so from now on, don’t use this seasoning. 77 Points.”
Addiction to spicy taste.
77 Points.
The blade named Criticism was driven into the cadets’ chests.
Of course, his expression quickly became crumpled.
Whether he knew this or not, the professor gulped down the water.
The cadets who felt indifferent and were evaluated had to walk helplessly.
“狗Japanese!!! (Fuck you!!!)”
Someone screamed.
I was a cadet from the team that was criticized earlier for being spicy.
I tried my best, but I was disappointed to receive a low score.
Well, the color was better than ours.
“I guess he’s from Hunan.”
“Well, that’s right.”
“Do they have a disease that causes them to die if they can’t eat spicy food? ….”
“Quiet.”
The Chinese Three Musketeers were in a hurry for a while.
The dish we made was served to the professor.
There were three in total, and the lids were opened one after another.
The professor stared at me blankly at the identity of the contents.
“I could have done just one.”
“There are a lot of ingredients left. So, I did a lot while I was doing it.”
Of course it was a lie.
If it had gone wrong, we would have suffered from a lack of materials.
“Soup, grilled food, even sandwiches…… “It must have been very difficult.”
“No. “These are not-so-special dishes that you can make if you have the time.”
“And I gave it time. “They told me not to cook multiple dishes, but to hunt efficiently.”
“… ….”
The professor lifted the spoon and looked at the soup.
I stirred it around and lifted it up and put it down.
“But I never thought they would do this. “I wonder if we should see this team once a semester.”
“That’s too much praise.”
The professor put down his spoon.
Finally, he lifted his fork and looked at the meat and sandwich.
“I’m asking just in case, but you didn’t buy the food from somewhere else, right?”
“No. “All of these dishes are made from wolf meat that was killed about an hour ago.”
“Huh, I didn’t need to apply this much force for the first practice.”
I pulled the meat into very small pieces with a fork.
He put it in his mouth and started gurgling.
“…… “If I had submitted this during the final exam, I would have gotten a perfect score.”
“Is it that much?”
“I think the seasoning was good, the texture was just right, and it didn’t have a bad smell…… “Did you take a cooking class in the first semester?”
“I took a beginner survival cooking class.”
“Somehow. “It didn’t seem like he had the skills to cook something like this once or twice.”
The professor put down his spoon completely.
Then, I closed the lids on the dishes one by one.
“Are you not going to eat the rest?”
“It’s such a classic, well-made survival dish that if I eat more than this, I don’t think I’ll even be able to cook other students’ dishes.”
You can’t eat it well even if it’s made well.
It was said that because of us alone, there would be a problem with the fairness of the subsequent review.
Maybe I should have brought some pickles.
To neutralize the taste in your mouth to some extent.
“And it’s such a good dish that you don’t even have to try it.”
“Ah… ….”
“I’ll give you full marks.”
“Ah!”
“Instead, next time, please reduce the number of dishes. “If a student cooks three dishes at a time, I notice.”
“I understand!”
We bowed our heads as a group.
The professor clearly wrote the words 100 points in his notebook.
It seemed like he was not someone who would cut our grades in half, but someone who would double them.
But if you find out that I added ‘white magic powder’ (not drugs) to the dish, you will change your mind and fold it in half.
Even considering the grades, it would be right to take the synthetic seasoning issue to the grave.
And whether I was lost in such thoughts or not, my teammates’ expressions changed at the brilliantly shining score.
“Originally, there were going to be additional lectures after cooking. There’s no need to teach it. I will take care of your attendance. “You can just go today.”
A professor who shows how generous he is.
I thought he was a tight professor taking notes in the lab, but it turns out that wasn’t the case.
It was no exaggeration to say that he was the Xerxes of the Palaistra Academy.
At this level, even if he was a professor with a personality in the top 1%, it seemed like he had no shortage.
On the other hand, it was definitely worth the effort and proper preparation to treat such a professor properly.
We walked back, saying thank you again and again.
2 Hours since the lecture started.
Cooking-Dobies were finally able to be free.
“By the way, I’m bringing the food here. “Because I didn’t put my mouth on it, there would be no problem if I ate it.”
“Ah, yes!”
I quickly grabbed some food and headed to camp.
It was still warm so I didn’t think there would be any problem eating it.
* * *
Of course, that doesn’t mean he only ate that.
There was a lot of food left over from cooking at camp.
“I was so scared, I never thought it would turn out like this!”
“Out of all the scores, I got a perfect score. “I’m really glad.”
“I thought he was a professor with a lot of pressure, but I never thought he would be different… ….”
“I think I did a really good job of peeling the onion to the point where tears were streaming down my face.”
“But. “Sian, how did you come up with this dish?”
Conversation about various things while eating food.
Perhaps because I received a perfect score, the overall atmosphere was friendly.
There was all kinds of confusion right up until the time I started cooking, but I was glad that I received an appropriate response.
I slowly stood up in an appropriate atmosphere.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Sseu-eup, I’ll get up first.”
“Huh? “Where are you going?”
“Let me get some fresh air for a moment. “It won’t take long.”
He waved his hand and told me not to follow him.
Only five women were left in the camp.
“Are you going to the bathroom?”
“Ah… ….”
“Seeing as you gestured for me not to follow you, I think you were right.”
“But you didn’t bring any tissues with you.”
“Shouldn’t someone bring us tissues?”
Whether they were alone or not, they headed toward the outskirts of the forest.
The place we arrived at was a place we had already reached several times.
I ducked down and hid in the bushes.
Quietly and quietly, no pretense of popularity was left behind.
Now there was a group at the end of my gaze.
It was none other than a group of Chinese people, including the government’s target.
“Hey, hey, how do I catch this?”
“Last time I asked my parents, they told me to endure it with all my might.”
“Sweet, the taste is not good. “What should I do with this?”
“Just adding more pepper will solve the problem…” … Argh!!! “What if I put the pepper shaker itself!!!”
“Ugh! What’s this!!! Why doesn’t the light turn off!!!”
Chinese Kitchen Nightmare.
Actually, it seemed like there was no kitchen and just a nightmare, but it seemed clear that their cooking skills were close to disaster.
I couldn’t keep my mouth shut at the extraordinary fire show taking place in the forest.
“Hey, hey! Bury it in the dirt! “All the meat is burnt!!!”
As fat drips from the meat, fire rises.
You can just put water in your mouth and spit it out.
It seemed like he had never done anything outside, let alone cooked.
I wrote ‘I’m not good at cooking’ on a notepad in my mind.
Okay, if they ask you later what you saw on surveillance, you can tell them this.
Anyway, since we monitored it, I won’t say much about it.
“Ha…… In the end, it all burned out.”
“Well, there’s still a lot of wolf meat, right? “If I burned it, wouldn’t it be okay to bake it again?”
“Yes, there are many, so that’s okay. “The problem is that our meat is the offal that someone hastily butchered.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“The good parts that I had used from the beginning are now completely gone.”
From the way they are talking, it looks like they are picking up the wolf meat that we threw away and using it.
But even that seemed to be wasted due to poor cooking.
They were truly pitiful friends.
It would have been better if he had lived a healthy life as a minor like me.
A life of catching monsters, grilling monster meat, rolling bomb liquor, and evading taxes while drinking while not forgetting one’s duty as a student.
If I had lived such a Confucian life, I would have definitely known how to grill meat and control the heat.
“Guys, the leftover meat smells strange. Do you know why this is?”
“Mol?Ru.”
Fools.
Because I couldn’t take care of that one thing.
“Tsk, my intestines exploded.”
This is why self-directed early education is important.
If you do too much to raise them, aspiring gold hunters like that will pop out.
But did you say that one of the most interesting things in the world is Buddhism?
The coal manufacturing fire show that continued felt interesting in its own way.
It seemed like they would burn the forest and eat it, but it’s not a forest on Earth anyway, right?
If a fire breaks out, destroys the main forest, and kills countless lives, it would be a bad thing for the world tree.
What is bad for the World Tree?
It means that it is a good thing for us.
This was a fact that I, a person of elf descent who loves nature, could verify.
That’s why I quietly cheered on their reckless cooking.
There was a constant exchange of nonsense.
At the end, when everyone was exhausted, a statement that was close to lament came out.
“Ha, what kind of social gathering is this? “It’s a full-on cooking gathering.”
“That’s right. “If I had known it would be like this, I would have lowered my pride and listened to something else.”
“Recognize. “If I had humbled my pride and done as recommended, I would have received money instead.”
However, it was a slightly unusual story.
It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it feels like there’s something special about it.
In times like this, there was only one thing to do.
I wrote down in a notepad in my head that I had been recommended something else by someone.
Now there are two things to say.
