I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With - I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With chapter 607

607 – Side story) The first experience of the beginning

“Poetry, Sylvian? wait for a sec.”

“hmm? “Why are you doing this, Sicho?”

“You’re sure you’re not calling this noodles just now, are you?”

Seong Ji-hoon asks a question with a puzzled expression.

As expected, a square piece of dough was placed inside the square-shaped wooden frame.

A thin dough that fits perfectly into a square mold and the corners. It is a visual that does not appear to be cotton to anyone.

At first glance, it looked similar to dumpling skin. However, it was much thinner to call it a dumpling skin, and the area also seemed quite large.

“As expected, this is the first time I’ve seen something like this.”

“So this is really noodles?”

“Yes. “Well, it’s not unreasonable to be surprised, seeing as how our predecessor was very confused at first.”

To his reaction, Sylvian nodded with a grave expression, as if it was a familiar reaction. While muttering quietly, ‘I completely understand.’

She didn’t pay much attention to Seong Ji-hoon’s reaction. I was just concentrating on creating the perfect noodle dish.

“But somehow this is called noodles…” … . ah..! Is it possible to cut the dough into long pieces and boil it like kalguksu?”

“Heh, everyone says the same thing. “It was a good application, but unfortunately it was wrong.”

“Then how on earth do you make noodles with this?”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you right now.”

“what?”

“Just like in the beginning, if you tell us in advance what it is, expectations will be halved! Stay silent and watch. I’ll make a special and delicious noodle dish in no time… … !”

It was when Sylvian was making a boast in a confident voice.

“Hey, sister? “The water is all boiled now!”

“Ah, that’s good. “Then can you prepare ice water this time?”

“Sure! “Just leave it to me!”

“Shaolin? “I will help you too.”

“You stay back. “If the little boy plays with fire carelessly, he will slip his pants again?”

“W-what… … ?!”

“Kukuk, it’s a joke. joke. “I’ll take out the ice, so please get some water in the bowl.”

Under the leadership of Sylvian, Seong Ji-hoon and Jeon So-rim act as assistants.

“Shall we begin in earnest? All you have to do is boil the noodles… … .”

ㅡUgh… !

Sylvian moves his chopsticks carefully.

To get a square and thin dough.

The pure white, square noodles(?) were so thin that light was visible through the back.

ㅡChrrrrrrrrr..! Wow!

Sylvian gently dips noodles in boiling water as if cooking shabu-shabu. With careful handling, she boils the square noodles that resemble handkerchiefs one by one.

At first glance, it seemed like all you had to do was just soak it in and scoop it out, but that wasn’t the case at all. I had to keep controlling the noodles with chopsticks to keep them from shrinking and wrinkling in the heat.

And that too, putting effort into each piece.

“… It’s cooked to this level. “Is the ice water ready?”

“yes! Here you go-!”

Sylvian boils a piece of noodles from both sides and quickly scoops it up.

-Pondant!

It is then quickly transferred to ice water without being exposed to air. By soft and skillful hand movements.

Sylvian demonstrates without hesitation the mastery achieved through countless practices. She cools the thin noodles, which look like they could tear easily, in ice water perfectly without any wrinkles.

ㅡChuck, right! Fondant… !

After that, the same process repeats.

Until all the prepared noodles are boiled.

Once boiled, the noodles had a fairly firm and chewy texture.

Thanks to the shrinkage in cold ice water, you could feel the elasticity just by looking at it.

“… Sylvian? “Is this really Himokawa noodles?”

As soon as the task requiring concentration is finished, Seong Ji-hoon asks a question as if he now understands.

“Oh? As expected, the beginning, born on Earth, is different! “Have you ever tried it?”

“No, it’s not like that, but the way it looks like it’s boiled reminds me of where I’ve seen it before.”

It was just as Seong Ji-hoon guessed.

Himokawa (ひもかわ),

Literally translated: leather strap.

In Japan, this also meant noodles that were flattened into leather straps. It was a fundamental noodle dish that could be enjoyed by making udon or dipping it in soy sauce.

“Right. But it still won’t change that my cooking will be my first experience.”

“… huh? First experience?”

“Hmm, it’s nothing. Anyway, I hope you watch. “It took a lot of time to make the noodles, but the broth was also created after a lot of research.”

“Okay, I understand. “I’ll answer all the questions after I’ve finished them.”

“thank you for understanding. Then, let’s try moving again… … !”

-Rust!

Sylvian is rummaging through the bag again, soaking the boiled noodles in ice water.

ㅡChallang… !

This time, I take out a rather large water bottle.

ㅡSqueak… … !

Inside was a thick soy sauce. It is a broth containing Sylvian’s secret recipe and is the basic soup.

Moreover, this was not all.

ㅡSweet!

“what? “Is that my grandmother’s soybean paste that I shared with you last time?”

“Yes. “I had a hard time using it sparingly, but I think I’ll be able to brew enough for the last bowl.”

“Are you worried? Soybean paste in the soup? Put that in a strainer too… … ?”

“… … .”

Sylvian stays silent and focuses on her job despite Jeon So-rim’s questions. I didn’t intentionally ignore the question. Her attention was entirely focused on cooking.

That’s how much Sylvian’s eyes looked more serious and cautious than ever.

“Shaolin? “For now, let’s just focus.”

“Ah, that’s right. He asked me to watch… … .”

ㅡPatter… !

Soybean paste and something long and dark brown go inside the fine strainer. At first glance, it looks like a tree root.

“The beginning? “Could you light a fire in the fire pit?”

“okay. “Now all I have to do is boil it like this and it’s over?”

“Yes. Once enough soup has boiled out, it’s almost done. You only need to wait about 10 minutes. And while you wait… … .”

Sylvian blurts out something while trailing off his words.

It seemed like there was still something more left.

It is true that the broth and noodles are the most important in noodle dishes, but even so, they alone cannot complete a proper dish.

-Legally!

This time, Sylvian opens the square container.

It must have been a container with a warming spell, and white steam rose as soon as the lid was opened. It’s like opening the lid of a dumpling steamer.

“what? This smell can’t be… … ?”

At the same time, a familiar flavor can be felt by Seong Ji-hoon and Jeon So-rim. Eventually, as the hazy steam flies away, familiar-looking ingredients come into view.

Inside, there were large pieces of meat neatly placed.

“As you can see, these are pig’s feet made with my special sauce.”

It was like that.

It’s none other than pig’s feet.

The meat looks moist and plump, as if it had just been boiled.

“… As you can see, this has been made in advance for garnish.”

“It’s not a bad choice to choose pig’s feet as a garnish instead of char siu. “Sylvian, you really paid attention to many things, didn’t you?”

“It’s natural. Work for the beginning is work for me! “We prepared all the ingredients with great care.”

“Thank you, Sylvian. sincerely.”

“Hehe, it’s not too late to say thank you after you return to your original body. Rather, it seems like the soup has slowly boiled down.”

Sylvian does not let go of tension and continues to the end despite Seong Ji-hoon’s thank you. She starts finishing work.

ㅡSlap, slap, slap… !

Strain the hot broth again through a sieve and then double-boil it over new ice water.

ㅡBuuuk… … !

Then, he takes out the scroll filled with ice magic and tears it up. To activate the magic spell built inside.

So, magic was put into a scroll to make dishes. It was Sylvian who had prepared thoroughly from start to finish.

ㅡKuddeukdeuk… … !!!!

Was it because of her thorough preparation?

The broth preparation process went smoothly.

The well-filtered broth freezes instantly and thin ice floats around. It’s perfect for dipping and eating noodles.

“Now that’s done! The beginning! Can’t wait to try it while it’s still cold… … ?!”

*

“Now that’s done! The beginning? Can’t wait to try it while it’s still cold… … ?!”

“huh? “This is all finished?”

The noodle dish prepared by Sylvian was special from the looks of it.

A bright light brown soup with thin ice floating around, like buckwheat noodles. And the square shaped himokawa noodles still in the ice water.

It seems that he learned a lot from eating buckwheat noodles by dipping them in soup. Himokawa-myeon probably found this out while wandering around Japan alone.

‘The guy who always shouted that soup should be warm broke his beliefs and made a dish just for me… … .’

The emotions are endless.

You can feel the sincerity just by looking at it.

My mouth is already watering to see what it will taste like.

“But it’s strange. Why aren’t system messages responding?”

To put it bluntly in the current situation,

What’s important now is the star rating rather than the taste.

It was more about the food’s ability than its star rating.

However, nothing came to mind to overshadow Sylvian’s words that it was all over.

“… The beginning? “Why do you do that?”

“Hey, Sylvian? “Are you sure it’s really finished?”

From noble mtl dot nete

“Of course.”

“Well, really..?”

“Why is there a problem?”

“No, it’s not like that—”

“If that’s the case, that’s fine. There’s no time, so pick up your chopsticks first! “I’ll teach you how to eat my special cold udon!”

“aha? “Was there a different way to eat it?”

“Yes. So, I hope you concentrate and listen carefully.”

When I wondered why there were no stars, there was a reason. There were still a series of processes remaining.

“… Well, first of all! “Take it out slowly, starting with the noodles!”

Sylvian’s advice flew to me before I even had a chance to realize it.

Was it because they successfully created a food that they had been researching for quite some time?

Sylvian’s eyes begin to burn with anticipation and motivation.
