After the successful harvest of potatoes, excitement filled the air as everyone in the Woodland Village worked together to plant more crops. Tomato, onions, carrots, and various vegetables soon found their place in the expanding fields. In just a few days, the village had transformed into a flourishing farm, brimming with fresh produce.
However, Kazuma couldn't shake the feeling of monotony that came with solely eating plant-based foods. He craved a variety of flavors, yearning for some meat, bread, and a rice dish. His thoughts wandered to the distant memories of his own world and the diverse cuisines he had savored.
Kazuma " Hay Edith do you have some rice crops here? "
Edith " Rice what it that? "
Kazuma " It a golden color crop that has tiny seeds and look like a grass"
Edith " I think we have something like that"
Kazuma " Really can you bring it "
Edith " Are you looking for this "
Determined to introduce new tastes to the Woodland Village, Kazuma inquired about rice crops from Edith, hoping to find a way to make a rice dish. Edith, unfamiliar with rice, searched through their collection of crops. She eventually presented a golden-colored crop with tiny seeds that resembled grass.
Kazuma " A Golden color crop with tiny seeds
and looks like a grass, but this not what I was
looking for "
Edith " Is it not this? "
Kazuma examined it closely and realized that it was not rice, but rather wheat. "This is wheat, not rice," he clarified gently. "Rice is similar in appearance, but it has different characteristics and flavors."
Undeterred, Kazuma saw an opportunity to use wheat to make something equally delightful. "Although this isn't rice, we can use wheat to make bread. Let's try that today," he suggested, a glint of excitement in his eyes.
With Edith's expertise, the wheat crop grew quickly, and soon, they had an ample supply of wheat grains. Kazuma explained the process of making bread. First, they needed to separate the wheat grains from the chaff. Once the grains were clean, they would grind them into flour.
To add some sweetness and flavor to the bread, Kazuma looked around the village for some wildflowers. He discovered beautiful blue cornflowers and yellow dandelions. He carefully plucked the petals and added them to the flour mixture.
With the flour and petals combined, Kazuma taught the villagers how to knead the dough until it became soft and elastic. "This is an essential step in making fluffy bread," he explained. The village was soon filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread as they placed the dough in the fire to cook.
As the bread cooked, the villagers watched with anticipation. Finally, the moment of truth arrived. Kazuma pulled out the loaves of bread, golden and enticing, from the fire. The aroma filled the air, making everyone's mouths water.
With a sense of accomplishment, Kazuma sliced the bread and distributed it to the villagers. Their eyes widened as they took their first bites. The soft, fluffy texture and the delicate flavors of the cornflowers and dandelions delighted their taste buds.
Kazuma's heart swelled with pride as he witnessed their joy. For a moment, the Woodland Village transformed into a gathering of friends and family, sharing laughter and delicious bread together. In that moment, Kazuma knew that he had brought more than just food to the village; he had brought the joy of discovery and the promise of new experiences.
With bread now a part of their diet, Kazuma's quest for culinary diversity had just begun. The Woodland Village was on its way to savoring an array of flavors they had never imagined before. And as the sun set on the horizon, casting a golden glow over the fields of wheat, Kazuma's heart was filled with gratitude and excitement for the adventures that lay ahead.
