In Kejie City, a young goblin is looking around the market for what he wants to buy. When he passed a shop selling fruits and vegetables, he stopped and took a closer look at the vegetables in the store.

"Welcome, what do you want to buy?" asked the shopkeeper with a smile as he noticed the young goblin standing in the doorway.

"Boss, do you sell mushrooms here?" I asked the shopkeeper.

"Mushrooms, here, you come and see. The boss pointed to the shelves in the store and said to me.

Walking to the shelves, I was a little overwhelmed by the wide variety of mushrooms.

I covered my forehead with my hand and had a headache, and I didn't know any of the various mushrooms on the shelves in front of me.

“...... What would be a better way to make mushroom soup?" I wondered.

Hearing my question, my boss immediately walked up to me and was about to introduce me to the mushrooms that can be used to make mushroom soup.

"I personally recommend the mushrooms, which are thick, refreshing and delicious. It is perfect for making mushroom soups. The boss brought a mushroom on the shelf to me and explained in detail.

Looking at the round gray mushroom in front of me, I was a little curious about how it tasted.

"This mushroom is also good, it's called Bisporus mushroom. The taste is similar to that of stalk mushrooms, and it is also very good to use as a mushroom soup. Looking at me, he hesitated, and the boss simply introduced me to another mushroom.

This mushroom is white in color, and the mushroom umbrella is hemispherical in shape, flattened later, and has a smooth surface. It looks pretty good too......

"Boss, I want some stalk mushrooms. "Think about it, I'll tell the boss solemnly.

"Good. Hearing my words, the boss immediately took out a paper bag and put some stalks and mushrooms in it.

I also wanted to buy some vegetables and fruits, and looking at the emerald green vegetables on the shelves, I reached for some soft, crisp ones. Salads made with this vegetable may have a better texture and taste......

Seeing that I was sifting vegetables alone, the boss hurriedly took out another paper bag and packed the vegetables, "Boss, which fruit is more suitable for salad here?" I asked the boss who was filling vegetables in a paper bag.

Hearing what I said, the boss stopped his movements, "I personally recommend, this." The boss took out a brightly colored fruit from the fruit shelf.

The color of this fruit is yellow-orange, with a slight reddish tinge, and the shape is somewhat similar to the apple and orange in my memory.

"It's rum nut with a sweet and sour taste. It can be used to make salads and sake brewing. "The owner explained to me the name, taste and use of this fruit.

"Can I try one?" I asked with a smile after hearing what my boss said.

To be honest, I'm curious about what this fruit tastes like.

"Eat. ”

The boss generously handed me a good-looking rum nut.

"Thank you. Taking the rum fruit, I politely thanked the boss.

The moment I took a bite of the rum nut, a characteristic sweet and sour taste spread in my mouth. I've never tasted it before, and it's completely different from the fruit I've eaten in my last life. It tastes really good, and the texture is very good.

"It's delicious. I praised the rum fruit in my hand, and the boss smiled smugly when I heard my compliment.

"Boss, I want three rums. I finished eating the fruit in my hand and said to the boss.

"Good. "When I heard this, the boss put three good quality rum nuts in a paper bag.

"It's sixty Lutz in all. "The owner ordered all the vegetables and fruits in the paper bag and told me the price.

Listening to me, I took out the money in my waist bag and handed it to the boss, "I'll go first." "I walked out of the store with a paper bag of mushrooms and vegetables......

It was almost afternoon, and I had to find a bakery. After inquiring with the goblins on the streets, I learned that there was a bakery under the walls not far from the main city.

When I went outside the bakery, I found that the bakery wasn't that big. When I walked into the bakery, I found a lot of freshly baked bread on the wooden table.

But this... Is it really bread? I was a little suspicious when I looked at some of the blackened bread, and this kind of bread was a bit like brown bread......

"Welcome, are you here to buy bread?" asked the bakery, who was sitting in a chair, when he saw me standing at the wooden table.

"Boss, can you borrow me the place where you make bread?" I asked the boss sitting in the chair with some trepidation.

Hearing what I said, the boss laughed and was a little puzzled, what kind of fame does this young man in front of him want to do?

"Yes, come with me. "The boss motioned for me to go with him to the back baking room.

This is the baking room?

When I came here, I saw an earthen oven not far away, this must be the oven used to bake bread, right?

"This is where I make bread. "The boss introduced me to me.

"Boss, you have wheat flour, eggs, milk here...... "Thinking about the ingredients I'll need to make bread later, I asked the boss.

"Of course there is. The boss nodded affirmatively to me.

Hearing the boss's affirmation, I was immediately relieved. I placed the two paper bags in my hand on the wooden table and was about to start making bread.

"Boss, can you please help me prepare the materials?" I asked the boss who was standing nearby.

"No problem. The boss said with a smile.

When the boss brought wheat flour, water, and eggs, I immediately poured the wheat flour into the wooden basin on the wooden table, followed by the egg into the wheat flour, and then held the kettle with my left hand and slowly poured the water into the wheat flour.

My right hand was not idle, I was kneading the wheat flour to break the eggs evenly, and when the water was almost poured in, I put the kettle on the table and added a certain amount of milk.

Looking at the dough gradually forming in the wooden basin, I kneaded it patiently with both hands at this time.

Huh, this kid is so skilled?!

The boss standing next to me was a little surprised when he saw how I kneaded the dough. The young goblin in front of him may be more experienced in making bread than he is......

When the dough was kneaded repeatedly and became a little chewy, I immediately stopped kneading the dough in my hand. Holding a handful of wheat flour from the table in my hand, I sprinkled it evenly over the kneaded dough, and then I decisively covered the wooden lid on the table on the wooden basin containing the dough and waited for it to rise on its own.

"Why don't you bake it now?" the boss asked with some confusion when he saw my previous actions.

Hearing the boss's somewhat confused voice, I immediately understood why the bread in the store was so dark. The temperature at which it is baked is an issue, but the most important thing is ......

"Wait. I smiled helplessly and said to the boss.

"Boss, please bring me the container that can be closed. I walked over to the wooden table where the vegetables and fruits had been placed earlier and said to the boss.

"Okay!"

Hearing my request, the owner retrieved a glass bottle from the store and put it on the table.

Twisting the lid of the bottle open, I poured the milk in, and when it was halfway through, I re-tightened the lid of the glass bottle.

Let's make whipped cream now!

I picked up the glass bottle and shook it up and down very hard, and the milk in the bottle was constantly churning under my vigorous shaking.

The boss behind me was a little puzzled by my shaking of the milk, he really couldn't understand what this young man was going to do? What was the use of shaking the milk so hard? Looking at my constant actions, the boss's doubts deepened.

As I shook hard, the milk in the bottle began to bubble. I don't know how long I shook it, but when my hands gradually became sore, I gradually stopped shaking the glass bottle up and down.

Twist the lid of the glass bottle open, and the milk in the bottle has a small layer of bubbles on the surface and is slightly thickened.

It looks like it's done... When I saw that the milk in the bottle was very similar to the whipped cream, I laughed heartily.

"What is this, young man?" the boss asked with some curiosity as he smelled the milky scent from the glass bottle.

"This is a dairy product made from milk, which can be spread on bread and used to make dishes. "I explained to the confused boss about the whipped cream in the glass bottle.

"It turned out to be this kind of thing. Hearing my explanation, the boss suddenly realized.

While the dough was still rising, I decided to make the mushroom soup.

"Boss, do you have a stove for cooking?" I asked the boss.

"Yes. "Hearing my inquiry, my boss pointed to the stove next to the earthen oven and said to me.

This stove is a little small... However, there are no major problems, and the iron pot on the stove is not very large, and the food cooked by it should be enough for three goblins.

"Let's do it now. ”

I took the mushrooms to the stove and put them down, poured water into the iron pot, and put firewood on the stove to light them. After completing this step, I picked up the mushrooms placed on the stove, washed them with water, and then cut them into pieces with a short knife, and the thickness of each slice was very even.

It should be fine to cut it like this, and it should be nice to use it later to make soup.

The water in the iron pot was also boiling at this time, and I saw that I added an appropriate amount of fresh cream to the boiling water. In an instant, the clear water instantly turned into a milky white soup.

I put all the sliced mushroom slices into the pot, and the stalks and mushrooms were rolling in the boiling soup. After the soup had boiled for a while, I used a spoon to slightly hold a little bit of the soup and brought it to my mouth to taste.

Umami is there, but the taste seems to be too light. I grabbed the salt shaker on the stovetop and was about to pour in the right amount of salt to taste.

But as I poured the salt, I remembered one thing, the elves should prefer to eat something lighter, right? Thinking of this, I poured in a pinch of salt.

After stirring well with a spoon, I took a small spoonful of the soup and tasted it. Now it's finally a little salty, and the umami is also very good.

After I covered the iron pot with the lid, I immediately began to prepare for the next move.

"Toast now. ”

Walking over to the table where the dough was placed, I lifted the lid from the tub. The dough in the basin was already fermenting and swelling at this time, and I nodded affirmatively when I saw this phenomenon.

In this day and age, there was no yeast and the dough could only be fermented in this old way.

"Huh?! This dough... How so?!" said the boss dumbfounded when he saw the dough in the tub.

I ignored my boss's inquiries and started to split the swollen dough. Divide the leavened dough into three equal portions, now let's start toasting!

"Are you going to bake bread now?" the boss asked subconsciously when he saw what I was doing.

"Yes. I replied to my boss's inquiry.

The boss took out the grill from the earthen oven and motioned for me to place the dough on a steel tray on the grill. I picked up a piece of dough that had just been divided and laid it flat on the steel plate, and the boss immediately put the grill into the earthen oven, and then he skillfully lit a fire under the oven.

But can this kind of earthen oven really make perfect bread? Looking at the heating up earthen oven, I thought a little bit unoptimistically.

"Here, put this on. ”

The boss handed me a pair of thick gloves, and I took the gloves and put them on my hands so that I wouldn't burn so easily.

The temperature inside the earthen oven was very high, and I could clearly feel the heat not far away. Such... Doesn't it really burn?

After about five minutes of baking, the boss immediately opened the oven door and took the grill out with a steel stand.

Something bad happened...... When I saw the bread on the steel plate, I couldn't help but cover my eyes. Where's this bread? It's all coke......

The bread baked on the steel pan was very dark, about the same as some burnt brown bread......

"Looks like a failure. The boss said to me a little embarrassed.

"I think it's the temperature of the fire......" I said after a moment's thought.

The flame temperature of the earthen oven is too difficult to control...... I shook my head helplessly, there were only two pieces of dough left, and I had to think of a way to do it.

Wait, flames? I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.

"Boss, let me bake this time. I said this to my boss.

"You? Hearing what I said, the boss didn't say anything, and he handed me the metal bracket steadily.

I smoothly took the metal stand and placed the second dough on the steel plate. Walking up to the earthen oven, I opened the door and used the metal bracket to smoothly place the grill into the oven.

There was still some flame burning in the oven, and when I saw this, I re-added some firewood, and the dry wood burned again when it came into contact with the flame.

Since it's a flame... It should be manipulative.

I controlled the fire elemental magic to strictly control the flames in the oven, and the originally fierce flames became mild under the control of the fire elemental magic.

The bakery's eyes widened involuntarily when he saw me controlling the flames. He seemed to have seen something incredible......

I controlled the flame with one hand and slowly closed the door with the other, and roasted like this for ten minutes. When the time was up, I opened the door and held the grill out with a metal stand, and the brown bread on the crust was steaming on the steel pan.

"Good!" I smiled at the smell of toasted bread.

"This is ......," the bakery owner was a little stunned when he saw the bread I baked, and he muttered in disbelief, his voice trembling a little.

The young goblin baked bread was so good, undeniably excellent!

I put the bread baked on a steel plate and placed it on a wooden plate on a wooden table.

"Try it again. ”

Seeing that there was still one last piece of dough left on the table where I kneaded the dough, I placed the dough smoothly on the steel pan again. It is fed into the earthen oven again with a metal stand, and the temperature of the flame is controlled and the flame is carefully baked again.

When the timer reached five minutes, I remembered what my grandfather had said to me. 'Water vapor is more efficient at heat transfer than air. ’

Doesn't that mean......

I opened the door with my left hand slightly, and through the gap between the doors, I pushed a cloud of water elemental magic into the oven, and the water elemental magic instantly turned into high-temperature water vapor when it was exposed to high temperatures.

"Wow!"

The owner of the bakery was shocked to see the water vapor gushing out of the oven.

When I got to eight minutes, I opened the door and quickly pulled the grill out with the metal stand.

A sweet smell of bread instantly emanated, "Oh~ this taste!" The bakery's face instantly lifted when he smelled this smell......

――――

The goblins outside the baking room also swallowed, they had never smelled the aroma of this bread before.

The guards on the inner city wall looked at each other when they smelled the aroma, "It's really strange today, why is the fragrance coming from the outer city?" Hearing this question, the guards looked at each other, and at this time, they wanted to go and have a good meal now.

In a garden somewhere in the inner city, "The smell of good fragrance~" A petite goblin looked curiously at the distance where the fragrance wafted in, and there was a little expectant glint in her eyes.

――――

Now, the bread is baked, the mushroom soup is ready, and the vegetable salad is missing.

Placing the freshly baked bread on the table, I thought about what I was going to do next.

"Is the vegetable salad ?......?"

If you eat it alone, you don't have to do so much, so I washed the vegetables in the paper bag with water along with the rum nuts. I used a short knife to cut the fresh vegetables very neatly, cut them into shreds, and then placed them neatly on a wooden plate.

This was followed by rum nuts, which I cut into pieces with a short knife and cut them into the shape of a rabbit, which I then placed on top of the fresh shredded vegetables.

And that was it, and I smiled with some satisfaction as I looked at the salad that was so easy to make.

It's afternoon, and there's still some time...... I want to think about what else I need to do.

White bread, creamy mushroom soup, vegetable salad, hot milk......

Why don't you make a dessert, but when I saw some eggs and milk on the table with the ingredients, I suddenly had a wonderful idea.

Picking up the stone bowl on the table, I crack two eggs into the bowl and use a spoon to break them up and stir them together. After stirring, I patiently used a small spoon to fill up the foam floating on the egg wash one by one.

Pour in an appropriate amount of milk, add an appropriate amount of sugar, and stir again.

"Boss, do you have a burn-resistant cup here?" I asked the boss subconsciously.

"Yes. "The owner put a clean stone quilt on the table.

I picked up the stone bowl and poured the liquid into the stone cup, "and then bake it for about ten minutes." "I picked up the stone cup and carefully placed it in the earthen oven, lit a flame and burned it.

With the addition of the magic of the water element, the high-temperature water vapor is generated, and the heat transfer efficiency in the oven is higher again.

After baking for about eight minutes, I took out the stone cup from the oven.

"Good!" I said with satisfaction as I saw that the liquid in the cup had solidified.

I'll laugh heartily, but... The temperature from the stone cup made me have to put it on the wooden table.

"What is this?!" the boss asked, somewhat surprised.

"Dessert, made with eggs and milk. I explained to the bakery owner.

Now, let's get ready to go back!

After I asked the boss for a plate, I placed the white bread, the creamy mushroom soup, the vegetable salad, the hot milk, and the final dessert, the milk and egg pudding, in order.

"Young man, are you leaving?" asked the owner of the bakery.

"yes, by the way, I haven't given you any money yet. I nodded to my boss and took two hundred lux from my belt bag and handed it to him.

"It doesn't cost so much money. The boss hurriedly waved his hand to me, indicating that there was no need for so much money.

"Take it, I'll be sorry if you don't. I said politely to the boss, and when I heard what I said, the boss had to take the money.

At this point, I had already picked up my plate and was about to leave here and go back to the underworld, "Are you a warrior master?" Before I could take a step, the boss's inquiry came again.

"Yes, I'm the Warrior Commander. I said with my back to the bakery owner with a slight steadyness.

"Lord Warrior, welcome to your next visit to Ammon's Bakery. The owner of the bakery said respectfully to my back.

"Okay, I'll be back. Thank you for lending me the kitchen, goodbye. "After a short goodbye to my boss, I walked out of the bakery.

"It's my pleasure. Hearing my thanks, the bakery owner smiled and said goodbye to me......

............

Walking in the city of Kejie, I was walking towards the entrance to the underground world.

The goblins who passed me down the street widened in surprise when they saw the food on the plate I was carrying.

I walked smoothly so that the soup on the plate didn't spill.

Maybe it might be cold to get to mom (elf) at such a speed, but don't forget that I use magic.

Around the plate, there is an invisible layer of wind elemental magic that is slowly protecting the temperature of the food on the plate, and no one can see this layer of elemental magic except the shaman.

"I don't know, is she hungry now?"

............
