Tasteless vegetables and sweet and gooey vegetables, I prepared both.

    I hope that I can make seasonings from them according to my knowledge from Japan.

    I’ll make starch from one and sugar from the other.

    I want to increase the number of seasonings I can use aside from salt and fish sauce.

    The tasteless vegetable has a familiar potatoish texture.

    It’s a pity because it’s tasteless but from what I remember, potato starch came from potatoes.

    And I remember how to make it.

    -0-

    I peeled and grated the tasteless vegetables first.

    For this, I made my own grater.

    The silver ore is very easy to use.

    I need to be careful with my fingers though since it’s super sharp.

    I put the tasteless vegetable in a cloth and mash the cloth in water with a rock bowl.

    I mashed it earnestly.

    It is lighter than I remembered but what I need came out from the squeezed fabric.

    I squeeze the fabric with the ingredient firmly to get everything out.

    I left the rock bowl for about 20 minutes.

    This is the start of the heart throbbing part.

    After 20 minutes, I gently dump out the water from the rock bowl.

    If something was left at the bottom of the bowl, there’s a good chance that I succeeded.

    「There it is.」

    When I poured the water out, there’s a white thing left.

    I put water in there again, stir, and leave it for 20 minutes.

    I dump the water and repeat the process.

    After pouring the water out for the third time, I transferred the remaining stuff on the bottom of the bowl to a plate and let it dry.

    I dried it using magic. I crushed the white stuff and it became white powder.

    I sprinkled it on the meat and fried it in oil.

    This is only a trial so I’ll only fry 10 pieces.

    The seasoning is salt.

    …..finally tasting something this good after a long time, tears run out of my eyes.

    A spiderling is hanging from the ceiling.

    Keep it a secret for now because we only have a little starch.

    I gave it a bribe.

    -0-

    All the remaining tasteless vegetables were turned into starch. I worked non-stop for 1 whole day to process them all.

    Then, I remembered the existence of magic before I went to bed. Why did I punish myself by working manually!

    Today is the time to challenge sugar-making with magic.

    In Japan, sugar beet was used.

    I heard that sugar beet is sweet and it is also gooey.

    Thus, I chose a vegetable that is both sweet and gooey.

    This vegetable looks a little creepy.

    The color is purple and the surface is bumpy. Is this okay?

    Maa, I have no choice but to try.

    How do I make sugar….

    I only glanced at my mother when she’s making some before so I am uneasy.

    I think she boiled it.

    Maa, let’s try boiling it.

    If I want to boil out the sugar component, I probably need to cut it into small pieces.

    Then, I put them into an iron pan, add water, and boil.

    Lye came out.

    If I don’t clean this, it might affect the taste.

    Nothing changed after an hour.

    I’m afraid that I failed but I can’t stop here.

    Just a little more.

    Ah, the purple color has deepened.

    Did I succeed?

    I took the fire out for now…..it’s not hardening.

    I put it on fire again and after 30 minutes, the color became vivid.

    I took the fire out again….it hardened.

    I tried to crush a small piece for tasting…..sweet.

    This is sweeter than the sugar I know and there’s also an umami taste.

    I did it!

    -0-

    I used magic to boil down the rest…..but when I did, it failed.

    Why!?

    I worked hard to boil them down manually and got a large amount of sugar.

    Does magic have its weakness?

    It’s great that I made a big pan so I finished boiling everything by evening.

    I tried making teriyaki from the meat of the winged lizard.

    I want white rice but it’s also delicious when I eat it with the leafy vegetables from trees.

    I got scared of Koa and the others’ eyes so I made a lot.

    I need more fish sauce.
