Chapter.31 Camping

So what can add a more original flavor is curry powder. If you want to make a truly original curry, you would have to start by mixing spices and making curry powder.

It’s not even necessary for simple camping.

First, put oil in a pan and fry the onions. I tend to finely chop the onions that go into curry and fry them until they turn slightly brown. Then the onions will smell very nice.

The smell of grilling meat, better than grilling meat, stimulates the appetite.

This is where Elena has a job to help.

For faster cooking.

“Elena, could you peel these and cut them for me?”

“really?”

Then Elena, who was quietly looking at me, smiled brightly and said she liked it.

The one who received the favor is happier?

Elena stood there with a helpless look on her face because she wanted to help, and she started preparing the ingredients very excitedly.

Mother Teresa?

Saint Mary?

Is this elf a goddess?

So I fry the onions and she peels the vegetables.

Cooking preparations continued. Then add the vegetables prepared by Elena to the fried onions. These vegetables are called carrots and potatoes in Korea.

And unlike Elena, the two dragons jumped into the water without any interest in helping. And then start playing in the water.

I am worried that the silverfish might get hurt because they are too combative in the water, but I have confirmed that in such cases the fish hide underground in the lake, so there should not be a big problem.

“Are you better at holding your breath than me?”

“Are you stupid? Thousands of years are also possible.”

“Then it’s a showdown for thousands of years!”

It’s big in scale.

I continued cooking, trying hard to resist the urge to get distracted by the dragons’ conversation.

If meat is added, it becomes a little more savory, but there is no problem even if it is not added.

Once it is stir-fried to some extent, add water. Stir a little and cook the potatoes a little more, then add the curry powder in an appropriate amount.

What we will do now is stir. Stir and stir again until the powder dissolves in the water.

Then, the yellow curry is completed.

The delicious smell of curry slowly seeped into my nostrils. Most people would agree that this smell is delicious.

Except, of course, for people who hate curry.

But my Korean curry doesn’t end here.

Up to this point, it is an ordinary curry, but it is possible to subtly make it something out of the ordinary with simple methods.

This is because there is a trick to adding deep flavor to curry in a very simple way.

If you add yogurt, it tastes like yogurt curry. Would you say it adds a refreshing sour taste to curry?

Yogurt curry is also a type of curry. Recommended if you want to experience a similar taste with commercial curry. Of course it’s not the same.

Also, if you add milk, the color of the curry becomes very light and the taste becomes very soft. It may seem like curry and milk don’t go well together, but in fact, it’s a very good combination.

The curries sold in Korea often have a slightly less luxurious aftertaste. I would say it tastes a little cheap. Compared to curry from curry restaurants, the limitations of mass-produced curry are fully reflected.

You can make the taste luxurious simply by adding easily available ingredients to such a standard curry. Curry, which absorbs such ingredients and creates new tastes, is a truly amazing food.

So, it is also my favorite food.

It’s not just milk or yogurt. There are many more.

Tomato ketchup also enhances the sourness and sweetness of curry.

Coffee is one of the ingredients that brings out the most important flavor in curry.

Add bitter coffee without any ingredients such as sugar or cream. This significantly increases the umami flavor.

There is another one. And this method is actually my favorite method. My secret ingredient is chocolate.

The more cacao the chocolate contains, the better.

If you add chocolate to the curry, the yellow color becomes very dark. And the taste becomes stronger.

Even so, the curry doesn’t really taste like chocolate. The curry simply absorbs the chocolate and becomes luxurious.

People who don’t know this may be repulsed or very surprised by the practice of adding chocolate to food.

However, when these strange-looking ingredients come together with curry, they enhance the flavor and make the curry taste richer and more luxurious.

Additionally, if you mix chocolate and ketchup appropriately, you can get a taste similar to the curry you get at specialty restaurants. It feels even more similar when you eat it with naan.

There is a clear difference from not adding any ingredients.

Should I say there is no comparison?

“Rurin Serena! Come out! Let’s eat.”

Two dragons who have been competing underwater for thousands of years, claiming that they cannot breathe, crawl out of the lake when they hear the sound of food as if they are hungry.

A plate of hot curry was held out in front of them.

“What is this again? “This is food I’ve never seen before.”

“It’s called curry.”

“Curry?”

I served curry with added chocolate to Lurin, Serena, and Elena.

And mine is separate.

“Hmm? “What can I say, I don’t like the color, but it’s delicious.”

“it is delicious.”

“Well, it tastes good. “I’m really glad I’m not eating a strange lunch box.”

Each person begins to eat the curry while moving their mouths. Water dripped from Lurin and Serena’s bodies.

“It’s delicious to eat it so wet.”

“Is that possible? Of course, it is true that if you eat it after playing in the water, your stamina will decrease, so it tastes better… “Anyway, being wet is a problem.”

I rummaged through my luggage, took out a towel, and started drying Rurin’s hair.

“Elena, Serena too.”

“yes!”

Elena rushes over to me, takes an extra towel from me, and approaches Serena.

“you! “I’m so crazy about eating!”

“It’s even more crazy when the water is falling. “You don’t want to catch a cold, so make sure to dry your hair.”

“You mean a cold? “If that’s the case, it’s better to get caught in this body.”

Rurin, who was making a soundless sound, removed the moisture from her head and placed a large towel over her shoulders.

Elena also wipes Serena’s hair in a babysitting gesture. Serena’s side is resolute.

No, it’s natural.

Of course, the fact that he is being served arrogantly by an elf is a bit of a problem.

Rather, the scene where the blonde elf wipes the hair of the red-haired beauty is dazzling. Gorgeous blonde and red hair shine brilliantly. What can I say, I can’t deny that it’s an amazing scene.

After the ridiculous sight of people wiping their hair while eating was over, we ate again.

My cooking is special.

Lulin, Serena, and Elena have curry with chocolate, but mine is a bit more special.

“Why are yours so hot?”

“I know.”

My curry includes spicy chicken noodle sauce. It is a special enhanced version of spicy flavor.

Since it’s camping and I’m going to eat it, there’s no problem with using the prepared sauce, right?

This curry, which has a deep chicken soup flavor and a burning taste, actually resembles the spicy curry sold at specialty stores.

A spicy sensation that makes your tongue tingle penetrates every corner of your body.

“I’ll try it too!”

Without fear, Lulin came up to me and thrust a spoon in before I could stop him.

“for a moment… !”

“Yum!”

And before she could warn, a spoon was thrust into Lurin’s mouth.

And after 5 seconds.

Needless to say, we had to struggle for a while to stop the breath from spewing into the lake.

***

After eating, rest for a while.

Washing a lot of dishes and organizing and cleaning the surrounding area. And a war of words broke out over the construction of the hut.

Normally I would just do it myself.

Since I called myself camping, I wanted to follow the camping rules. In other words, you play a game or something, decide on a ranking, and divide up the work.

My heart pounded slightly in a situation I had never experienced before in my life. I can’t believe my childhood dream came true in this way.

What I dreamed of at that time was to be with friends of the same sex.

For some reason, everything is of the opposite sex now. Aside from whether it’s better or not.

Well, anyway, that’s why it’s a game.

Among the many games, the one I picked out was a board game.

I once made a bet with Lulin using Jenga. It was an object that was summoned like Jenga at that time. It is a national board game called Buru O Bull.

When I was young, there were almost no kids who didn’t do it.

And a few hours later.

In front of that blue fire, Lulin and Serena began to smile sinisterly.

“Woohuhu.”

“Hehehe.”

Lulin’s original image is an innocent image, but when she smiles like a devil like that, her expression is so cute.

The gap created by a sinister smile blooming on an innocent face.

It’s a secret that the gap is more attractive. secret.

It is also a foul.

It could be said to be the best of Lurin’s facial expressions that I like.

So I don’t hate smiling like that. But when Rurin laughs like that, it’s when she’s planning something absurd.

Of course, Serena too.

Serena has a face that suits the sinister expression very well.

Anyway, they both have strange expressions, the corners of their mouths hanging from their ears. Each face is immersed in its own desires.

If we were to define it in one word, it could be said that it is something that cannot be stopped.

“What are you guys laughing at so much? “How much has it changed?”

“I didn’t do anything.”

“I didn’t do it either?”

Rurin and Serena look at me at the same time. Both of them raised their round eyes, filled with the expression of unfairness. It looks like he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, but it’s so pretentious.

But it’s surprising how long it’s been since we’ve seen two dragons get along so well.

No, it’s not like it’s been that long. In fact, it’s the first time.

I actually snorted at this situation, which usually never happens. I’m pretty sure I did something.

The first place among these is freedom. Second place is dishwashing. What on earth are you going to do for the trivial bet of cleaning up after yourself and making a bed if you come in last place?

There is a reason why the two people are smiling like this.

The game started normally, but it all started when Sereina smiled darkly and said that she would change it a little, saying that she couldn’t empathize and that it wasn’t fun because it was all about cities she didn’t know.

And the two dragons took Buru Obul and actually changed many things.

That’s the situation right now.

“It looks suspicious.”

“It’s not suspicious. “I am the same as usual.”

Rurin sits down next to me and nods her head strongly.

The more it happens, the more my impressions are the same.

“You’re laughing.”

Anyone can see that it’s a strange face.

“Anyway, you can’t decide the winner with such an unidentified object. “I’m at a disadvantage.”

When I answered with a shrug, both dragons screamed at the same time.

“You can’t do that!”

Sereina made a face saying that such a thing was not fun, and Lulin had no idea what was going on, but shook his head very desperately and expressed his position strongly.

“Yeah, and anyway, no matter what we changed, we didn’t change the rules of the game, so it’s very fair to just throw the dice and play the game!”

“Yes. “That is correct!”
