“Dragon cuisine.”
When Ion opened the lid of the dish, everyone’s eyes widened.
Everyone present had a look on their face in fear.
It was natural.
‘Have you been cooking with real dragons?’
‘Yeah, that… that dragon?’
They still haven’t erased the image of the dragon that appeared in the royal castle from their heads.
The Guards, who had usually threatened that they could even catch dragons, were quiet for the moment.
‘What, it can’t even be compared to a dragon.’
It was the first time that his will to fight would be broken just by crying. That’s why even the 7th Prince brought such a bastard would be terrifying.
‘You’re thinking of cooking with it.’
‘You may be punished.’
They never do that.
So the nobles and the guards secretly trembled.
But like it or not, Ian smiled for a purpose.
“Come on, have a drink. Soup is coming.”
Ion kindly explained how to eat, but the reaper only trembled with his hands and could not hold the spoon.
The soup is transparent enough that you can see the bottom.
And it turned out to be an excellent royal hors d’oeuvre, but the content was…
‘Ah, that dragon earlier.’
The reaper’s face hardened.
Seeing that terrified appearance, Ion intentionally put on a bewildered expression and tried to bite him.
“sorry. They said that the Kantum Empire would not even eat anything except fresh dragon meat.”
Still, this Reaper of the Kantum Empire did not have a good reputation.
There were several large and small countries around Kaistein. Isn’t it a poor country that doesn’t even have dragon meat every time?
And at least Kaistein was a powerful country, so that was enough, and the neighboring countries were greatly humiliated.
Anyway, it’s better than the eastern empire that took away the land of Kaistein in the past. Kantum, who has recently been riding the tide and pretending to be an empire, has his sassy nose too high.
But Ion pretended not to know, and he made an apologetic expression to the Shinigami.
“He’s been airlifted as a particularly energetic guy for the Cantum Empire’s ambassador. Somehow, in the pastThe only thing that made me feel afraid is…”
“Oh, no! Could it be! I am so sorry to have received such a hospitality from me!”
Finally, the reaper picked up the spoon. And everyone was startled by the sight, and only Ion laughed.
*
Of course, dragon cooking didn’t happen that quickly.
So a few hours ago.
Ion had no choice but to say this to the king and the envoys.
[I will cook dragon food until dinner]
And I thought I wouldn’t hear anything good enough to keep you waiting.
Rather, the people present were astonished.
I wondered if it could be done that quickly.
that would be it too. It was because of the words of the Shinigami who ate the dishes of the 1st and 2nd princesses.
“Dragon meat needs aging. But will it ripen so quickly?”
“There is no need for aging. Guys like Wyverns and Drakes don’t taste good, so they may have to be aged. Dragons are said to be excellent on their own.”
“Who… said that”
“Dragon.”
“···!?”
That wasn’t the only thing.
“I have two dishes for you. We want to give you a variety of things to enjoy. Please look forward to it.”
In the end, the nobles of the other factions had no choice but to look at Ian with a tired expression on their faces.
They came to fear that Ion would make a mistake, but the sound of a dragon howling next to him seemed to be about to sit down again.
But with it or not, Ian went into the kitchen, and it was this transparent soup that was made.
and presently.
In the end, the reaper who put the soup Ian brought into his mouth tightly closed his eyes.
He even felt like he was being punished, but at that very moment.
“··········!”
The reaper who swallowed the soup flinched at the first taste. And Ion narrowed his eyebrows at such a grim reaper’s expression.
“Isn’t it to your taste?”
However, the Shinigami was dazed and shook his head.
“no···! It tastes very fresh! it’s delicious. There seems to be a strange power springing out of it!”
It really was.
Although the soup was transparent enough to look like water, the taste in it was not a simple taste.
It tastes like a concentrated whole dragon.
It was enough to feel a deep lingering aftertaste just passing through the throat and heading to the stomach.
It was only natural that the reaper was interested.
The aristocrats roared with excitement, and even the king and queen, princes and princesses widened their eyes as if surprised.
“Wait, did you really use dragon meat…?”
It was a reaper who accurately discriminated Wyvern and Drake meat.
‘If it’s not for dragon cuisine, there’s no way that Shinigami won’t notice.’
They don’t know, but it has a unique smell that only comes from dragon dishes or something.
I also remembered that the people from the West laughed, saying that the people of Kaistein didn’t know.
That is why they had no choice but to look at the food that Ian had served with bewildered eyes.
‘There’s no way they could have drugged the items presented to the Shinigami.’
There was a high probability that it was really dragon meat.
But it was then.
There were people watching the scene as if riding a poop line.
They are none other than the cooks behind Ian. Well, they had no choice but to do so.
‘Is that dragon soup or something?’
It was because the chefs knew the making process.
Either way, Ian dragged those cooks out.
“Then I’ll bring you the next dish right away.”
The place Ian headed to was none other than the back garden of Opal Palace.
And there was Ian’s precious dragon, which was controlled by the thorough surveillance of the knights.
“Yeah, Lee.Five. Are you doing what you want?”
[Of course. It’s very good here. young man]
Rio Banzaim looked really good.
that would be it too.
stutter thump
Now he was taking a foot bath.
Isn’t that also why human chefs put great effort into washing his body and feet?
Of course, as a Rio Banzaim, it was not without complaints.
[It’s been a hundred years since I’ve been washing, so I’d like the whole body to go into it.]
“It wouldn’t take a day or two to get such a barrel, would it?”
Besides, how much water do you think it takes to heat such water?
However, the cooks and the knights who listened to the conversation between the two were disgusted.
“You said you would make a soup for cooking with a dragon, so it’s like this…”
‘Of course, you said it was a footbath broth, but… a footbath, a dragon footbath.’
Even Nathan in the world didn’t seem to be able to manage his expression this time.
It was.
All of the broth they would eat as their main dish today was made of boiled dragons.
Of course, the soup that went first as an appetizer was a little different, so I was worried about the dragon too.
[Is that really enough?]
The dragon was chewing the fodder. He did it because he told me to.
Are you going to use this for an appetizer?
[It’s the stuff I chewed on. Did people’s eating habits change without my knowledge? Anyway, isn’t this a bit like that?]
However, Ian raised an eyebrow instead of answering. In the first place, he wasn’t the one who would do good things for the West.
So he said.
“It’s the same as a dish called Swallow’s Nest made with swallow’s saliva. Rather, the saliva of a dragon is said to be yongyeon, and in the West, it is treated much more preciously than a sperm whale. Gourmets die just by smelling the incense.”
[Right]
It’s just normal food.
Well, it took a long time to cook with several ingredients, but that didn’t matter. It was because of the help of Rio Banzym.
bubbling
The flames directly emitted by the dragon.
It was able to boil yongyeon to give it a deep flavor. It was able to create a strong taste of fire by mixing the dragon’s magic like a flame.
Ian shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, people will be satisfied just because it’s related to dragons.”
And seeing that Ion, the knights asked with concern.
“Well, I’m glad you don’t see blood, but are you really okay?”
“yes. It doesn’t matter. There is only a problem with the content, but it is a dish that the best royal chefs are confident that they have captured the taste.”
“However···”
“Let’s have a drink too. It’s already a great dish on its own. Don’t you know again? Maybe it will be food for the knights who can use magical power.”
At those words, the three knights hardened their faces. What have they seen so far and are you telling them to try it?
“Oh, no. I still have motion sickness from the flight.”
“I, me too…”
Ian looked at the cooks as if it was all right.
“Are the main preparations finished?”
“No, of course. But can I really afford this?”
“What. Not knowing is medicine.”
At Ian’s eyes, the cooks swallowed their saliva.
Dragons were excited about soaking their feet in warm water, but they are different.
In fact, even the dragon tilted his head.
[there. Even though the broth is the same, why are my skins removed?]
“You should have a little more. Can’t you pour out the clear hot water twice?”
[yes?]
Ion, who smiled brightly, served the main dish instead of answering.
So this time, Ian came outFood.
*
“This is Doganitang.”
At Ian’s words, everyone’s expressions were worth seeing. Because it was the first dish I had ever seen.
Ian smiled inwardly.
‘It’s a dish you can’t see now. It will come out later when food becomes scarce due to the war with the Magic Continent.’
A common crucible is a crucible, one of the cuts of beef. So, it was a dish made using cow’s knee cartilage.
But now.
“It is a food made by thoroughly simmering dragon cartilage and ethmoid bone.”
In reality, the toenails were thoroughly soaked. It could literally be called yonggaltang (a soup that pretends to hear the dragon meat).
Of course it wasn’t a lie.
Because it was the broth in which the dragon’s feet were soaked for a long time.
Ian said confidently.
“You will definitely be satisfied.”
The Shinigami was strangely surprised that he had hardly encountered hot pot dishes.
However, I was very interested in whether I didn’t like it.
So, Princess 1, who knows the taste of the Shinigami better than anyone else, narrowed her forehead.
It wouldn’t be easy to match the taste of that Shinigami.
‘There is no contact from the guys I went to look at.’
What Ian did, the subordinates who told him to come to see the place he was cooking.
But they are already in a state of being hit by the knights.
Of course, if he hadn’t returned, the answer was obvious, but his brothers stared at Ion.
‘From the moment I brought that dragon, the Shinigami’s attention was focused on the youngest.’
Now, it was a matter beyond the scope of entertainment and food.
That’s why the messenger visited today, although it is said to be celebrating the 7th Prince’s proof ceremony.
‘Today, the envoy came for one purpose.’
Unaware of this, Ion smiled and offered food to the nobles and his brothers and sisters.
“Let’s have a drink. Here comes a special meal that the youngest has been hard at work on.”
The nobles who were interested in the word dragon meat spoke while looking at each other, and the brothers and sisters looked at Ian with subtle eyes.
The 1st and 2nd princesses bit their lips, the 4th prince looked like an abomination, the 2nd prince had the eyes to stab Ion to death, and the 3rd prince was smiling but clearly wary.
And it didn’t seem like that weak little boy would have served dragon meat with ease.
So the brothers and sisters, who looked at each other, put their mouths on the bath.
“!”
They flinched. I don’t know what it is, but the taste is better than I thought.
and how long has it been
Likewise, the nobles who tasted it whispered in surprise, and the messenger put down the empty vessel.
“I really enjoyed the meal. Not only did I see a real dragon in the world, but I was also treated to its food.”
The messenger expressed his gratitude to Ion as if he was very surprised.
In the first place, there was a saying that for dragons of earth dragon level or higher, even the water in which the tail is soaked has a medicinal effect.
What can’t be happy about?
“I had heard rumors about him, but it was only bad news. I never imagined he would have the strength to face a dragon.”
Ian smiled at that.
Actually, dragon meat was just a side dish. Ian’s purpose was elsewhere.
just as expected.
“Then we can get to the point now.”
His eyes turned to Ian.
