It was chili pepper. He was really shocked after seeing this kind of rare ingredient here.
He took out a few of them. Before he went to cook, he went to check if there is other ingredients there. He opened his Wisdom Eyes. He assesses the trees here, Oak, Teak (shogun), Hickory, Beech, Maple, Mahogany... Cinnamon Tree.
Cinnamon is also one kind of ingredient that assists the dishes to become testier. He touches the trees.
[Cinnamon Tree: You need to peel the skin and season it before you make dishes with it.]
He took the gluttony and peel the bark of the tree. He slices it into palm-worth size.
After he has done that there was a message popped up.
[Put them in storage. This will be ready to assist after 24 hours.]
Hearing this he put them in the storage. He also found some ingredients which have similarities with Cinnamon. Those are cardamom and clove tree. Those also required seasoning. He also put them in his storage.
He didn't find anything that can assist with his cooking anymore. He went in front of the pot with chili pepper and the rabbit.
He started to boil the salmon fish again. He took a piece of kitchen equipment that can mold the red chili. As for the green chili, he cut them into little pieces and threw them into the pot. By the way, he put only 3Kg fish meat there. He will grill other fish meat with the rabbit.
He started to mold the chili pepper into the mash. After he has successfully done that He took the rabbit.
He did peel the skin of chicken and duck before, but it is the first time he will peel the skin of the rabbit.
He took its leg part first and started to peel it.

"Another cheat ability huh!"
He muttered to himself.
"Well, it doesn't matter. It's not like I am doing something illegal."
The weak part of the rabbit was envisioning on his eyes like the ethereal thread. He cut according to the thread. Though he messed up here and there he finally butcher the rabbit at the eatable level. Though he didn't cut the rabbit into pieces, he took out all the dirty parts from the rabbit.
[Your dish is ready.]
He hurriedly took the fish pot, he ate a piece of meat from that fish. He ate it.
Hmm... Better than before. He thought. After adding chili this became more eatable than before. However, his mouth became hot.
"I guess I need to add less chili."
Then he started to eat anyway.

Looks like he leveled up again.
He peaked on his stats again then he went for frying the fish and rabbit. He grilled the fish. He learned it from one of his cousins after the famine began.
It took him a while to fry it. After finishing it, when he started eating it, for the first time he realise that he was eating something decent.

The rabbit meat was only 900 grams. He didn't know when he finished that, but he let out a sigh of satisfaction. He looked at the fish. He needs to eat more than 5kg if he finishes them all.
He required 115 exp to level up to eight.
He started to eat grilled fish,

He finished the remaining fish without looking at the screen. He finally finished it. He was patting his belly and was lying down there. Then he looked at stats.
