At this moment.
Qingye, who was humming a little tune in the kitchen and preparing to make bear paws, suddenly paused.

Looking at the panel that lit up in front of him, he seemed to understand something.
Could it be...?
Is this skill just for feeding monsters?
Chapter 41 Perfect Dish? Gluttony Skill Upgrade!
Bear paws were once one of the eight delicacies.
Its taste goes without saying.
As a direct disciple of the chef who runs state banquets, Aoba must have studied recipes.
Although I haven't cooked it with real ingredients, I have used beef tendon, which is similar to bear paw, a few times.
After all, bear paws were forbidden to be eaten in my previous life.
Just didn't expect it.
The culinary dream that couldn't be fulfilled in my previous life has actually come true in this one.
Aoba looked at the bear paw stewing in the pressure cooker.
I rolled up my sleeves slightly and began preparing the other side dishes.
Ham, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, dried scallops
These are the side dishes for this dish.
It can bring out the best flavor of bear paws.
Wash and dry with kitchen paper.
Cut each side dish into evenly sized and uniformly thick slices.
after the end.
The bear paws in the pressure cooker were almost cooked through.
Perhaps it's because of the difference in this world.
In less than thirty minutes, the bear paw was pierced through with chopsticks.
The bear paws were taken out and placed on a special meat cutting board.
Even when the bear paw is cut into small pieces, it is still about the size of a green palm.
Moreover, each piece has a unique aroma.
This is completely different from the other ingredients that Aoba had processed before!
There wasn't a trace of fishy smell!
It cooled down a little while.
Qingye then began to cut it into pieces two-tenths of an inch thick and five-tenths of an inch wide.
This is a place that extremely tests knife skills.
Because if the bear paw is cut too thick or too thin, it will seriously affect the taste of the dish.
This is roughly the amount to cut into two portions.
Qingye then arranged the bear paw piece, followed by another piece of other ingredients, into the steamer in that order.
And add some spices on top.
Then it can be steamed using the special broth of oden.
Next comes the waiting time.
"Grandpa, can you still eat?"
Aoba poked his head out from the kitchen and asked Nurarihyon.
This was, after all, his first time making this dish.
I'm not very good at controlling the flavor.
It would be best if customers could leave reviews.
However, Nurarihyon and Ushioni have already eaten too much braised food, so it's uncertain whether they can eat it again now.
It's quiet in the night.
Only the fire in the stove flickered and roared.
"Feel sorry..."
"I probably can't eat anymore."
Grandpa Nurarihyon, with his protruding belly, looked troubled.
The food this kid makes is delicious, but it makes me feel unwell if I eat too much of it!
"what?"
Hear this.
Aoba's face showed a hint of disappointment, and then he looked at Ushioni.
"And this gentleman?"
"I'm so sorry, I can't eat anymore."
Niugui stood in the shop, shaking his head at Qingye as well.
His condition is slightly better than Nurarihyon's.
"Is that so?"
"So, will you pack up your food and take it back to -/Yue-/Yi-/Shou*-fa later?"
Aoba was somewhat disappointed, but a slight smile quickly appeared on her face.
It was regrettable not to hear the immediate feedback, but he hadn't considered that the other party might not be able to finish the meal.
"Need not."
Nurarihyon immediately shook his head.
This is fine to eat at Aoba's shop, but if you take it back and someone else eats it, it will definitely cause big trouble.
"But I'm already in the pot..."
"You can keep it for yourself, there's plenty of it anyway."
Nurarihyon, with his pregnant belly, walked towards the door.
"I'll try it again next time I come."
"Demon, let's go."
Done.
They immediately led the way and left.
Niu Gui followed behind him, gave Qingye a deep look, and then left as well.
Aoba was left alone in the shop, dumbfounded.
what? !
You want me to eat it all by myself?
He glanced at the large pot on the kitchen stove, which was already steaming with snow-white vapor.
I looked around the empty shop again.
Forget it.
He let out a slow sigh.
Qingye sat back down beside the stove.
My gaze fell upon the steam rising from the transparent pot lid, which condensed into water droplets and slowly dripped onto the edge.
The snow-white bear paws seemed to become even more tempting as the mist rose and fell.
The umami flavor and oils are constantly being forced out by the steam from the broth, seeping into the adjacent shiitake mushrooms and scallops.
The taste is also undergoing earth-shaking changes little by little.
Just for a moment.
The countdown timer in the steamer startled Qingye from her wandering thoughts.
"All right."
Even dishes you make yourself.
But Aoba was still full of expectations.
This dish was something he could never afford even after a lifetime of hard work in his previous life.
I never thought I'd be able to eat all by myself these days.
Really...
Aoba smiled contentedly.
Then open the steamer, cover the bear paw with another plate, and then flip it over forcefully!
A famous dish—Braised Bear Paw with Cloud Slices—is now ready!
No other seasonings were added.
