The fairy smiled at me, there's a red sparkling fairy gush over the cauldron and soon there are a few with the same colour following him.
"Just like yesterday okay. Same as yesterday taste"
I managed to buy rice when the passing merchant came a week ago.
And yesterday I cooked rice with the help of the fairy.
The fairy was really helpful in my cooking.
It's because they seem connected to my senses. They can see what I see and they can feel what I feel and they can understand me without me explaining to them.
When I tried to cook the rice, they followed me and kept the fire, they just like my living automated kitchen appliance.
"I was so lucky"
My smiley face soon turned to Lana who was standing in front me.
"Vierra here is your magic pouch. Thank you for lending me this precious item. It was really helpful for me to deliver the food to my village. My family almost cried when I took out all the food yesterday."
Lana was smiling brightly remembering her family at the village.
"I'm glad it helped. You can ask me anytime if you wanna use it. I will lend it to you"
"Thank you. It really saves time. Usually me and my brothers took longer to reach the village when we brought heavy stuff. We decided to work hard and make us one in the future."
Lana then takes out a fruit that grows near the hill where she's grown up.
The red and round fruit were new to me, but it has its own fragrance that seems familiar.
I smell it a bit more and then I frown.
"This is lemon?"
"Lemon? Did you know it was so sour that it made a sleepy head man open his eyes wide instantly."
"It will be perfect for the chicken. I can make lemon sauce for the chicken"
I can feel Lana was shocked, even the fairy was looking at me with a terrified gaze.
After talking about what we can do with the fruit later, the fairy who helped me cook the rice told me that the rice was almost done.
I coated the chicken with the golden ink sauce and put it inside the oven.
I also call the fairy to help me look at the chicken until it is golden brown and ask them to make the oven in a medium heat and call me when it is slightly burned.
One thing that I found this world was so weird yet I felt grateful was, there were salt and sugar exist eventhough they use it only for drinks and barely put in the food.
But it's because there is just a lack of recipes in this world.
I took out the pan, slightly coated it with oil and added the sugar. When it is slightly burned I pour the fresh squeezed lemon juice and a bit of salt and bit golden ink.
A few spoonfuls of chicken stock and a glass of water and let it shimmering iuntil it became thick.
"its sweet andsour"
Lana looks bright and amazed by how it tastes.
"It look like the tomatoes sauce but this is bit different"
"yes it's lemon sweet sauce"
That night the inn filled with happy laughter again. There's tears from Hugo's eyes, saying this was the most delicious food he ever tasted.
In the kitchen, I slice the golden brown baked chicken in a small bite and put it in a large plate for the small fairies.
I also can hear they were throwing parties in the kitchen by themselves. I looked around and didn't see the alchemist group at the dining hall.
"Mother, the alchemist group didn't come out for dinner?"
