If I think about it just this would bring about a good impression of the Firefoxes in just one fell swoop.
「Even so, it feels like we are just taking credit for Cyril-sama’s efforts…..」
「That’s also good, you know. That is the whole point of this get-together. Involving the Firefoxes in Elucie for everyone to enjoy is first. The second is for you guys to get use to it, that is the whole intent of it. I want the Elves to be pleased with all the Firefoxes. That in itself is my achievement.」
「Really… Cyril-sama is really…..」
Kuu’s eyes turned red and she wagged her tail a little.
「Thank you so much…. Well then, can you please show us how to make it.」
「Later kay, Saying it’s a traditional Firefox cuisine is not really a lie, I will say that. We are just going to make it into a traditional cuisine, this time you will be telling the Elves, Kuu.」
「that…. that’s cruel! That’s just frivolous isn’t it.」
Kuu laughed aloud.
「You have to hold on, this is all about the Firefoxes. I will guide you so that your words match the meaning behind them. If it all gets ruined it won’t be funny, you know.」
「Of course, because Cyril-sama can’t afford to be concerned about this.」
「Well then! Shall we begin. First we will make this.」
I take out the deer intestines.
Since Herbivores only absorb some nutrients in their digestive tract, they have long intestines to help with that. It’s about twenty times longer than the length of the animal.
This being a deer, it was close to 40 meters.
「First we clean it.」
I know this is cheating a little but I use water magic. I collect water in a water jug and pour it all in one go in the entrance of the intestines.
From the exit of the intestines, while the water was coming out so did the leftover particulates that were inside.
The cleaning operation was done in about a minute.
After finishing washing the intestines, it was cut into manageable sizes and soaked in water.
「If I was going to simplify it, the point is we will be smoking the deer meat sausages. Since the intestines are ready we will next work on making the ground meat. Any portion of meat is okay in sausages.」
While saying that, I take out deer meat and place it on top the cutting board.
「First, cut it lengthwise and crosswise, strike it with the kitchen knife. Then put it in a bowl.」
I nearly mince all the meat and put it in the bowl.
「The basis is kneading in salt, and to pack it earlier into the intestines. After we smoke it till it becomes tender.」
Yes, the deer meat is almost without any fat, simple and a bit boring.
If the sausage stays as it is, it would be completely shadowed by the wild boar steak.
「That is why we must reinforce the taste, for that we will use this guy.」
Next I take out the deer’s liver. Yep, it holds the highest sweetness, it’s a gem that makes me want to eat it raw as it is.
I mince it up the same way, and put only a small amount in the bowl.
Rather than doing it like that, this amount is going to make a good bit of difference.
「In addition, we will add this.」
I put this in as the finishing blow and just a little bit of lard along with that.
Saying it’s the proteins, if I put it the other way around with any other meat, the other meat would battle with each other and make the flavor not come out, but deer meat is pretty flexible.
And also, about erasing the bad smell, I minced Yuri Wasabi and rock salt to put in, and put my waist into kneading it.
The liver and lard mix well together, along with that the meat stops being sticky.
「With this, the ingredients are done. Now we pack the intestines.」
I cut into it about 1 meter. I put the ingredients into the intestines that were soaked in water. Using a wild boar stomach filled with the filler I put the intestine on the opening on the bag. Pressing the tip of the intestines into it I squeeze the contents into it, filling it to the point of bulging.
Then I twist in regular intervals, making the familiar thick form of a sausage.
「After we just hang this and roast it with smoke. We make an open fire, this is going to be easy since it’s just going to hang. Well shall we try it.」
Because the way of making it is unexpectedly easy everyone did it. If I just sometimes gave directions they would somehow figure it out and do it.
Usually sausages are made with pig and sheep intestines, but deer intestines have a better texture, the taste is better and it doesn’t have a bad smell. Since the intestines preserve the taste of the lard and liver that is mixed in there, the level of taste is certain to leave an impression.
「Cyril-sama, I hope we don’t disgrace him but…」
Kuu says nervously, if you look closely one girl was hiding in the back.
Surely that girl wanted to say it to Kuu, but was anxious.
「We of the sausage squad, would it bad for us to taste test it?」
「yah, you can sample it, but it does take about an hour to smoke… ahh wait a minute!. Anyway if it’s just sampling this might be good.」
While saying so, I take the packing meat out of the bag and use the iron plate. I borrow the girl’s power to begin grilling.
What I am making now is hamburger.
I give the lightly grilled stuff to the girls.
「It’s not sausage, what I made is hamburger. But since it’s made from the same stuff the taste should be about the same. Try tasting it.」
Saying so, just like before everyone gathers around.
When you really look carefully, there were several people from the potato squad.
Apparently, other squads are the same with sneaking some samples.
「It’s fluffy…」
「Rather than the steak I like this more.」
「The Jus just explodes in your mouth.」
「Without saying a mouthful, I want to eat it until i’m full.」
This also seems to popular.
Everyone from Elucie and also the Firefoxes usually don’t have this kind of complex cuisines. Because there isn’t any food like this, they will probably feel that this complex food is delicious.
「Saying you just used the ingredients inside the intestines and precisely smoke it. With the tasty soup cooked well with the sausage will make your cheeks fall off.」
I can hear the high tension in their excited voices, and everyone gulping down.
「I, I’m glad to be alive.」
「I know right, while thinking about it this much I was saying it would be better to die, but I really am glad I am alive.」
「But, it would be nice to have allowed my little brother to try it.」
「I said not to say things like that!」
「But….」
The Firefoxes conversations took a dark direction.
I had a bad feeling, they were resigned together, then a loud sound gathered their attention.
「Come on, everyone break is over. We have to quickly make sausages.」
「Cyril-sama, how many should we make?」
Kuu was aware of my intentions, cooperating in directing the flow of the conversation.
I am thankful.
「I only have ingredients, so let’s make it. Because this can be preserved there can be portions after the get-together. I want you to make use this opportunity for other groups it’s going to be troublesome, so do your best, kay.」
「Of course we’ll be doing our best. If we hang in there from here, after the get-together we can eat delicious things right!」
All the girls have a can do attitude.
And with that, the complete lecture on the cuisines was done.
After that, adjusting the flavor of the sausage is going to be hard for the squad that is posted to it. If they ask for help it will be good if they follow.
Today the goal for the get-together is just food.
After, it’s the opportunity to leverage the Firefoxes.
A mistake won’t be forgiven.
Creating another opportunity with the same cuisines, won’t give the same impact as today.
