By the way, I came back from the dungeon, and what was harvested this time is 24 sickles and Why did I bring the frog?
The reason is simple.
I was wondering how to eat the mantis stomach.
I will try it for the first time, but I thought that if I couldn’t eat it (in appearance), I wanted to try it with the frog.
First of all, I’ll dismantle the frog.
After finishing that, I’ll take out a mantis stomach.
The mantis stomach is 60 to 70 cm in length and about 30 cm in thickness.
the feel when touched is soft and flabby.
Is the feeling close to a water balloon?
It feels huge and thicker than a rubber balloon.
Ummu, how do I cook?
If it’s like this, it’s too big to bake or to simmer.
Do I have to cut to the right size?
Let’s go to the kitchen for the time being.
I also bring the disassembled frog meat and go to the kitchen.
I put the frog meat in the refrigerator.
Then, I place the mantis stomach on the cutting board and pick up the kitchen knife.
Well, what will happen when I cut it.
I put the tip of the kitchen knife on the mantis stomach and push in.
The feeling is similar to trying to cut thick rubber.
I push the kitchen knife like that and, finally, the kitchen knife sticks to the mantis stomach.
Then, a cloudy liquid (dare to say) came out from the part cut by the kitchen knife.
At the same time, a very fragrant -savory- scent drifts in the area.
Only by smelling the scent, drool accumulates in my mouth.
I put my finger on the cloudy liquid which became to smell too much and try to lick it.
That moment, I stopped moving.
The consciousness flew away with the excessive taste.
And, when I regained consciousness, I pull the cloudy liquid from the cut and raise the kitchen knife directly on my mouth.
I continued to drink with ‘gokugoku’ until was satisfied and drank most of the liquid that was in the mantis stomach.
I who drank enough thought about this liquid.
This liquid can only be dealt as a high class material.
Although it’s disgusting when it’s called cloudy liquid of the mantis stomach, if you think that it’s similar to the honey ant, the disgusting feeling is somewhat cured.
There might be a person who asks ‘what’s honey ant?’, I will explain a little, there is an ant with the trait of storing honey in a certain region (I forgot the place).
The way to store it is to let some ant drink and store honey on its stomach.
The stomach swells up strangely and is filled with a liquid of a color similar to honey.
The liquid is very sweet and it seems it’s pretty valuable in that region.
The color and the taste is different, but is it possible to think that the liquid stored in the mantis stomach is similar to that?
If I use this liquid as a white sauce or white soup, the cooking range widens.
As one of the recipes, if I simmered vegetables and meat in this liquid, it should be a white stew.
And how delicious will the meat become if I use the monster meat, the frog meat?
Amazing!!
I can stop to drool just by imagining it!!
Let’s do it immediately!
I take out another mantis stomach, make a cut and put the liquid in a pot.
I toss vegetables such as carrots and potatoes cut appropriately (onion isn’t put intentionally) and frog meat cut into bite size.
I boil it slowly with a low heat.
When it’s boiled, a more fragrant scent hung in the air.
Damn, I made a mistake!!
The reason is that the scent is spreading too much.
The fragrant scent is drifting from the pot that I want to take a sip immediately.
I can endure it somehow because I was satisfied with the liquid of the mantis stomach from earlier.
If it hadn’t been for that, I would have lost reason and I would sip this stew.
I endured and the stew is cooked.
Time has passed, and the pot releases a more fragrant scent as it’s cooked.
I keep it for 30 minutes.
I stop the fire as it has cooked enough.
I use a ladle and have a mouthful of the cooked stew.
Then, the taste of the vegetables and the frog meat melts into the liquid, moreover, the liquid was condensed by being cooked and the taste doubled.
As a result, I was immersed in ecstasy with too much taste.
When my reason return after a while, the pot where the stew was had disappeared.
When I look around, I found the figure of my mother holding the pot and eating the stew like a madman.
I look at, ah, the stew, I was overwhelmed by mother’s too much spirit and decided to watch in silence.
After watching it for a while, my mother was satisfied and released her hands from the pot.
“Oh, it was delicious”
My mother says such a thing while stroking her stomach.
When I looked into the pot, the stew was almost gone, and there was only left about a single dish.
“Mom, you eat too much.”
“It can’t be helped. It was a delicious stew.”
She pouts and I’m not pleased to see my mother sulking.
A sigh came out when I see that.
“Haa. Good grief, I have to make it again. Listen, mom. I won’t give you the next one.”
“I know. I mean, I cannot eat anymore.”
When I look at my mother who is stroking her belly, I can see that it’s puffy and bulging.
That’s right.
The amount of stew that I made should have been about 3-4 liters.
It’s not amusing to be like that because she ate most of it.
I leave such mother and remake the stew.
When I make the stew, I experience the same hardship as before.
It’s the same that happened to my mother, I try to eat it because I lose to the smell drifting from the stew, so I try to hold it down somehow and managed to do it.
Half of the stew is moved into a separate container.
I take it and go outside.
Pochi immediately approaches when I go out.
Pochi is drooling with his open mouth.
Apparently, the smell of the stew seems to have drifted to the outside.
Pochi might have been waiting as he is sensitive to the smell.
If so, I’m sorry.
Because I wouldn’t keep Pochi waiting if mother didn’t eat it.
The brought stew is poured in Pochi’s bowl.
Pochi began to eat greedily when I gave it to him.
The stew was delicious so he was eating earnestly while swinging his tail greatly.
I have to refill the stew many times, and when he’s satisfied, he rubbed my body very happy.
I pat that Pochi.
I pat him for a while and leave the place.
The leftover stew was about a third.
This is for Haku and Koku.
This stew might become the best food for Haku and Koku.
Even if the other chickens came to eat, they chased them away and ate it all by themselves.
Well, they can’t be careful because it’s from the prey Haku and Koku obtained working hard.
If the mantis stomach is sold, it becomes a lot of money, but as I already knew its taste, I don’t plan to sell it anymore.
I can’t let go of such a delicious thing.
Haa!!
Come to think of it, the last mantis I defeated, I didn’t collect it!!
What a shame!!
I collapse on the spot and became the orz emoticon. (TN: if you don’t understand click here)
Let’s not do this the next time.
Also, let’s collect the mantis stomachs as much as possible.
By the way, my mother let written that she couldn’t endure and ate all the rest of the stew, and was suffering for a while because of overeating.
I want her to remember that she has to endure a little, good grief.
Involuntarily, I hold my head.
The stew was made once again, and I let my family other than my mother eat it.
Everyone who was eating the stew was absorbed in the taste.
And all the stew made was in the belly of my family.
The mantis stomach which I thought was a lot, apparently 4 of them wasn’t enough.
I have to take more than 5 from the next time.
