Chapter 41 - Crayfish New Recipe.
I said," Okay, if you want to eat, this time it will be fried in the pan, so Alan come I will teach you a different way to prepare crayfish".
Saying so I took out the crayfish and then removed its intestine first and then cleaned it nicely, then I took a spoon and showed Alan how to peel it. Alan was a quick learner and soon he gasped the key to removing the crayfish shells. Now only the meat was placed, I asked Alan to chop them into fine pieces. Alan did so.
Then I said," Alan, you see in the restaurant people don't prepare the stock or gravy but it's not pure, so now I will teach you how to do so. See those heads and shells of crayfish, these are thrown by many people but you can mince them and put them inside water. The water must not be in excess or else the stock prepared might not taste well. So you need to be careful. Next add some onions, garlic and salts and leak".
Saying so I realised that Alan looked me puzzled and asked," boss what do you mean by garlic, onions and leak, why am I hearing a new name".
I forgot that now I was not in my world so I made an excuse and took out those ingredients respectively and said," these things are called garlic, onion and leak from where I came from, so you need to remember those things, and also some of the other names I will tell you in the free time so you will remember in future".
Alan became curious and asked," boss which place do you come from, why have I never heard of it".
Everyone also looked at me curiously.
I had a lonely expression and said, "I come from a very far place".
The others had seen the first time for the lonely expression so they didn't ask any further.
Then I said," okay next after adding those ingredients in the water you need to boil it for twenty minutes at most".
"Next chop the onion finely, make a paste of ginger and garlic. Next, I will tell you later what to do", I commented and waited until he finished then I said, "okay now everything has been prepared, now you need to add oil to the pan, when the oil is heated add finely chopped onions inside it and after some time add a little salt to make the onions become like a paste. After the onions had become paste add the ginger garlic paste and fry it for a minute.", after saying that I watched Alan do the work.
The abilities of Alan played a role and soon the aroma of onions, ginger garlic paste started drifting in the air.
I said," next is to add spices and fry it for another minute and add a little water so as it becomes a paste of water and other ingredients".
Alan did the same and when water was added to it then a refreshing aroma was spread in the air. Then I said," okay next you need to add the crayfish meat and keep the spatula moving until five minutes and remember to put on medium heat, after doing that add the stock in it",
Then I sat next to and watched Alan cooking, then I looked at Richard and said" Mr Richard please wake up Aaron and Lisa", but I looked those little guys were already awake and said," big brother where is our breakfast".
They reminded us that it must already be morning as we were inside the base so we didn't know the time.
I said," wait for some time, Alan is preparing".
Then I looked at Richard and asked" Mr Richard who were those people, who came to arrest the members of the dark guild".
Richard said," they were sent from base level 5. They are members of Justice Force, which have existed since the beginning of dark guild".
I nodded and said," that means they must have the deep foundation to exist till now".
Richard nodded and said," they are supported by the members of the ancient family".
Then I said," Mr Richard do you think you can trust the Ancient family".
Richard said," Yes, we can".
I looked at him and said," Mr, Richard which base do you come from".
Richard thought for a while and said," base level 8, my level is 110".
I nodded seemingly not surprised and said," Mr Richard, let me get to the point and ask you why did you come base one, then joined our guild, I know that high-level members will not join, just because of simple invitation".
Richard sighed and said," I don't know, I was instructed to protect those people who came to buy shields, that was all I told and he also said I have a certain destiny with you all so I joined, but don't worry I will never betray you all".
I nodded and said," I know, please rest assured if you wanted to kill us we might be already dead, so I just want to ask who ordered you".
Richard sighed and said," the less you know now, the better it is for you, but when you have reached a certain level than you can I will tell you".
I asked," what level"?
"Level 75 is the lowest requirements, that is the peak of base 6", Richard answered.
I nodded my head and said," okay don't worry we must be able to achieve it within two years".
Richard also didn't want to comment on our levelling speed as our strength was rising very fast and he saw us changing from a complete newbie to a veteran adventurer, it took us only three months to achieve it, so he knows that we could reach it.
By the time our talk was over, Alan uncovered the lid on the pan, then the refreshing aroma was hitting our nose, so we asked Alan to bring us the food fast. Alan distributed in the plate and as it was made more so we could eat our fill. The feast lasted and I was complimented several times, I would grin from ear to ear as finally I was praised for getting them good food, from their heart.
" Hey can you praise me for my handsomeness", I commented.
Afterwards, everyone ignored me and began eating the food and pretended as they didn't hear me.. I could only laugh awkwardly.
