The Late Cook Ascends the Tower - The Late Cook Ascends the Tower chapter 25

25 – Episode 25. Heel_(2)

Whoa! Oops!

As soon as I opened my eyes, my upper body was raised automatically.

The condition is absolutely superb.

I feel refreshed on my side that was sore all night…

Yesterday’s hazy mood is nowhere to be found, and now my body feels light as if I could fly away right away.

I’ve never had such a neat wake up right after I was discharged.

Is this the feeling of a hero who recovers his physical strength at a fantasy inn?

I think the resilience of games is truly great.

Looking carefully out the window, the village was still quiet.

The sky was black, the moonlight was bright yellow, and only the lights were on in the shops in the darkness.

That woman doesn’t sleep.

Anyway.

I think I slept for about 12 hours, but I think I slept for about two hours.

Dana is completely asleep and I can hear her snoring lightly, and Tilda is still moaning.

I grabbed Tilda’s dog tag and checked her condition.

[HP : 100/100]

As expected, resilience is amazing.

I’m glad.

Now, most of the status ailments in her deck are gone, and her stamina crawling on the ground is completely at 100.

However, [Stun] Is still the same.

Is it a mental problem to see him doing this even though his body has fully recovered?

Well, I suddenly came to this world and endured hardships, was betrayed, dragged around, and was in pain.

It wouldn’t be strange if I didn’t wake up for two days.

He’s not even a human, so he doesn’t have any adaptability skills, so his resilience must be different from mine.

‘Then let’s move slowly… Time is a relic.’

Ki-Ik-

Tilda and Dana sneaked out of the room so as not to wake up.

I’m thinking of making breakfast from now on.

I want to measure the value of the materials brought from the tower.

Above all, since the material is not abundant, we have to move as early as possible to make up for it with time.

If you boil the stock with the bones, you will be able to make up for the lack of umami.

When I think about cooking as soon as I wake up in the morning, I remember the days when I was doing business.

All hopeful mornings in those days ended with bad endings, but I hope they end with happy endings here.

For example, when Dana ate her soup and stamped her feet like her last time

[It’s so damn delicious, Chef… Please take this!]

If you pretend to be a relic, you get 100 points.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I piled firewood and lit it.

Since time is running out, we have to make stock first.

Of course, this is the material.

[The corpse of a rogue bird]

Although, if only meat came out when Jessica was used here, I would have to use meat broth…

I hope it comes out with bones attached to it like the last time I caught the pig.

‘Please Jessica…!’

I took Jessica out of the scabbard, shone it in the moonlight, did a cheering butt dance, and then put it on the dead bird’s corpse.

Activates the effect of 『Relic [Jessica].

Destroy the [Bad Bird Corpse].

Destroy all inedible parts.

I acquired 2 new items [Large Bird Meat].』

The feathers disappeared in an instant, followed by the head, feet and intestines.

Again, all that was left was two pieces of chicken cut in half and neatly arranged.

With bones and flesh attached, just like the wild boar.

Even the ragged shells of algae were left this time.

‘As expected, Jessica-chan is the best…!’

I almost cooked chicken gomtang of tears without the skin and bones, but this might turn out pretty good.

I can’t wait to see what I can do in this crappy kitchen.

Jessica has done enough… Now it’s my turn.

Bird bones are one of the specialties.

I inserted a knife into the joints and separated the legs, wings, and rods one by one.

As the flesh and bones were neatly separated from each part, a pleasant voice came from inside my head.

『Succeeded in separating the ingredients with the effect of the cooking card.

Acquire the item [Cleaned Bird’s Flesh x12].

Obtain the item [Dark Bird’s Skin x5].

Acquire the item [Dragon Bird’s Bone x24].』

I’ve tried it once, but now I’m quite used to using cooking cards and hand techniques together.

I do what I have to do, and I predict what the card will do.

It was inconvenient because I felt like I was being disturbed by the randomness of the TOE when I used the card, but there were also good points.

It goes without saying that grooming ends quickly.

In reality, no matter how well you peel, there will always be flesh attached to the bones, but here, as soon as the bones became an item, the remaining flesh completely disappeared.

How can unbaked bones be this neat?

In this way, the taste of the stock will be cleaner. You won’t even need to bleed.

From noble mtl dot com

A good hunch turns into a better hunch.

“Is it fun…? You look so happy…”

At that time, Dana’s face popped out from the side of the kitchen door.

The sky is still black.

“Did you wake up early?”

“Yeah… I heard the sound of cooking…”

“Sound of chopping board? Um… I’m sorry about that. I couldn’t help it because I didn’t have enough time.”

“No, no. I love that sound.”

Come to think of it, when I peeped into Dana’s memories, I think I heard the chopping board often…

Dana sneaked into the kitchen and lay down on the bench she had brought the other day.

And he looks at me with drowsy eyes.

“To visit again?”

“Yeah… Can’t I?”

“I don’t have time, so don’t lie down and help me.”

“Okay… Huh? What?”

“Help me.”

“Really?”

“You asked for help, but what is real? Don’t be fooled and come quickly.”

Then, Dana’s drowsy eyes turned into bright eyes, just like when she ate meat.

I couldn’t have slept for several hours, but I jumped up and stood in front of me in a month as if I wasn’t tired.

“What shall we do? What am i doing?”

“I’m going to wash these bones. Could you pour some water into a bowl?”

“Aha! Easy easy!”

There is an oak barrel for water in this kitchen, but it’s not worth going overboard.

She was trying to find out what she was usually pouring water into, but she was afraid to answer and lifted the oak barrel.

Shoot ah-

Then she tipped the oak barrel and quickly filled the bowl with the bones.

‘Well, that was a stupid idea.’

If the head is bad, the body suffers, but if the body is bad, it seems to overcome the limits of the brain and tools.

Kills performance.

“After that? What else can I do?”

“This is enough for now. Go sit down.”

“Okay.”

He’s turned into a fun mode again.

Seeing her brighter face made me feel like the whole kitchen was getting brighter.

Ah, it’s not a mood, it’s a bright day. You have to hurry

The bones were washed once in water, and then the washed bones were roasted little by little.

“It’s not meat, it’s bones? Why do you bake it?”

“To put out some incense.”

“Wow… Were the bones edible?”

“How do you eat bones? These are just ingredients.”

“What do you make with it?”

“Wouldn’t it be fun not to know? I’ll let you eat first when it’s done, so wait.”

“Yeah… Ok!”

Then he poured water into the pot again and put all the bones in it.

Add a few whole peppercorns…

Well, this is the best for now, but is there anything more we can do?

After looking at the inventory and thinking about it, I found an item I had forgotten about and took it out.

[Grass]

– The grass that grows in the labyrinth.

Yes, there was this.

It was one of the things I bought at the store when I was cooking last time.

I was thinking of making an herb sauce with this if the smell of the meat was too strong, but the meat was so delicious that I didn’t touch it.

When Jessica was placed on a bundle of grass, the roots and dried stems disappeared and split into several items.

[Katlan Leaf×5]

– A leaf used to make potions.

– It has the effect of amplifying potion performance.

[Royal Grass Stems×6]

– A grass commonly found in Cronus’ Labyrinth.

– Gives off a scent that monsters like.

I mean you can eat any item that Jessica picks out.

The name was completely different world.

Are there ingredients from different worlds like people from different worlds come over here?

Other than that, there was one more strange thing.

When I used Jessica for the boar or the wild bird, it was just a different shape, the same wild boar, and the same wild bird.

These two items had a new shape that was not visible at all in the [Grass Mass] State.

‘Is it like a random box?’

Perhaps, among the japtem obtained from the tower, if it is in the form of a mixture of various items, such as a “Chunk” Or “Clump,” The item may be generated randomly when Jessica is used.

There is not enough data to judge by one item, but I hope it is as expected.

Because there are only 5,000 kinds of japtem in the tower.

Among them, there are only a handful of ingredients to cook with.

I wish I could get various materials this way.

First, I smelled the scent of two plants.

Katlan leaves have a mild fragrance like herbal medicine and a luxurious savory taste like oolong tea.

The stems of King Geumcho have a refreshing taste that refreshes the nose.

It’s the first time I’ve seen the ingredients, so I’m worried… But I don’t have any, so I’ll have to use them.

I put 2 katlan leaves in a pot with bones and water and started boiling.

With this, stock preparation is over.

Now, until the stock boils, I check, refine, and even the ingredients I brought from the gnomes’ shelter.

Well, I still have a lot of work to do.

There was no more space on the table to take out items.

It’s because the cooking method in this world is so unique.

Because I’m not cooking with prepared ingredients, I’m starting from scratch.

A corpse becomes several pieces of meat, and a meat becomes pieces of meat…

I only trimmed the grotesque and grass, how many materials are there?

‘If this happens, there won’t be any left in the inventory…’

It’s a big city now, so you can just lay it out and cook.

If you have to cook in the tower in the future, how will you manage the ingredients?

Um…

Actually, I came up with a good method.

For example, making a kkobung with a wide inventory is all you have and then using it as a porter.

Do you know? That porter has the ability to grow plants, so he’ll call my herbs.

But this kind of thinking hurts Gao…

I work alone…

At that time, Dana couldn’t hold back her curiosity and came up to me and asked.

“Dohyeon, what are you going to do now? Do it while letting me know… I’m bored.”

I think it’s because of him.

To think of borrowing someone else’s hands instead of trying to solve it yourself…

Because I was exposed defenselessly under the pretense of being friendly, “I am a wonderful person who works alone” Has become blurred.

Still… I think it will definitely help.

He learned how to use cards quickly and has grit.

Maybe I should make some more soup.
