Chapter 49: Barbeque
The next morning after our successful hunt, I woke up to the usual smell of breakfast and gathered with the others in the kitchen when the princess asked me what we would be doing that day, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
However, the fact was that we wouldn't be doing anything too special. I wanted to spend the first half of the day processing all of the terror bulls that we hunted, and I also wanted to make a few potion batches since now I had to export to the other cities too.
The princess told me that she actually was quite interested in learning how to process the monsters, but I honestly couldn't understand why. It wasn't something that I particularly enjoyed doing, but it was more or less something I had to do to survive.
When the adventurers guild first opened in End Town, I remember hearing that there were workers that specialized in butchering and processing monsters that adventurers brought to the guild. However, you obviously needed to be registered to be able to ask for their service, and most of the time they also asked for priority if the hunter wanted to sell any of the materials.
To be fair, it wasn't a bad deal considering how much I disliked butchering the monsters, and I was sure that if I went over there with dozens of bulls they would probably consider processing them in order to buy some of the materials, but I also didn't want any preferential treatment, so I simply did it on my own.
I explained to the princess that she would probably never need to butcher a monster. We were registering as adventurers in a year, so she could simply use the guild's services, but she insisted saying that it was still something she should learn.
It ended up taking me a bit longer than I had expected to butcher all of the monsters. Since I had to explain to the princess how not to damage the meat and materials, I had to work at a slower pace than usual. However, I can't deny that having the princess there trying her best made the somewhat repulsive activity much bearable.
Before we knew it, nighttime had fallen upon us, and I realized that we hadn't even had lunch. Thankfully, now we had hundreds of steaks and meat cuts that looked like the best quality beef I had ever seen.
One thing I noticed when butchering the golden bull was that its meat had a marble that looked exactly like wagyu beef, making me even more excited to cook it.
With all of the meat that we had and all of the hungry mouths I had to feed, I decided to do a barbeque under the stars. I had made a much bigger iron grill that worked with a gas tank that I refilled myself using air magic.
Before cooking the meat, I wanted to make barbeque sauce. I remembered that it was always made differently back in my old world since every company or restaurant had its own special ingredients they added. But, I knew the main ingredients for it, which made me quite confident I could make something similar.
