Return

After seeing Joule off, I decided to distribute emergency food to the people who were held as prisoners. Because they seem to have not eaten anything decent for a while.

I will have Feat and Bolt continue watching over the bandits and surroundings, and I think of asking Allen and Elena to help me.

...... Vector is sprawled next to the bandits. He seems to be sleeping, so I will leave him alone.

"Allen, Elena. Come and help me for a bit~"

""Ye~s.""

Now then, what should I cook? I think something easy to digest sounds good, but...... would a tasty soup with well-boiled ingredients be good?

""What doing~?""

"Could you two grind this?"

""Yea, got it~""

I will have Allen and Elena make fish balls.

I fillet the Arrowfish we obtained in the Dungeon of Ripples and ask the two to grind them with a pestle. I don't have a food processor, so we use a mortar and pestle for grinding medicinal plants as a substitute.

Mortar and pestle――I have acquired a few sets for when making curry spices.

While Allen and Elena are working, I put water in a pot and chop vegetables one after another.

"Allen, Elena. How is it?"

""N~?""

I take a peek at the fish the cooperating children ground.

"Oh, it looks good~"

""Onii~chan, done~?""

"Yeah, it's done~ thank you."

""Yea!""

I receive the fish paste Allen and Elena made, mix it with eggs, minced ginger, and salt...... and it's done!

From what I remember, the method of making fish balls included potato starch, but I don't have it so it can't be helped. I do have corn, though~ Let's look for the potato starch next time and use this for today!

"Allen, Elena. Next, do this like that......"

The vegetables are boiled just right, so I show them how to scoop the fish balls on a spoon and put them into the pot.

"Make them into mouthful sizes and put them in. Can you do it?"

""Can do~""

"The hot water will jump out if you put the fish balls in the pot too vigorously, so do it slowly, okay?"

""Yea!""

"Alright! Then, let's do it."

The three of us peacefully insert the fish balls into the pot.

After the fish balls are cooked, I adjust the salty taste...... and it's done!

The seasoning is simple with salt. I could have made it with soy sauce or miso too, but they should be more used to eating the saltiness.

""Looks delish~""

"Thank you. Would Allen and Elena like to eat too once we distribute it to everyone?"

""Yeah!""

Without delay, I serve the soup in bowls and distribute it to the children and women.

The tableware I had at hand wasn't enough, but I somehow managed by using cups as soup bowls. I should get a little bit more tableware, don't I?
