This was the fifth day since the dwarves arrived. Under Hoshino Sora's unremitting efforts, the dwarves finally learned how to assemble circuits and generate electricity using a diesel generator.
At the very least, the electricity for the restaurant was solved, which was one of the reasons Hoshino Sora chose to upgrade the Dimensional Restaurant today.
As for the five days of free time, Hoshino Sora did not open for business, but instead roamed this manor with his wives, introducing them to the local customs, flora, and fauna.
Now, in the manor, the girls who couldn't cook were leisurely sunbathing on lounge chairs.
Beside them was a stream, they wore swimsuits, drinks were on the table next to them, sunlight bathed their bodies, and there was delicious barbecue and iced happy water. The feeling was simply blissful to the extreme!
At the same time, this was also a grand meeting of the harem.
However, the meeting was divided into two groups: one outside, and one in the kitchen.
Everyone sunbathed and rested during the day, worked in the kitchen, and then jointly 'attacked' Hoshino Sora at night. After all these operations, even Hoshino Sora, with his infinite stamina, was exhausted and drank a lot of medicinal tonics to recover.
However, his combat power was still strong; so many girls united together still couldn't defeat him.
Walking into the Dimensional Restaurant, Hoshino Sora slightly stretched his somewhat stiff bones, his face filled with drive.
After this period of evolution, many novel ingredients he had never seen before appeared in Gourmet Manor. His goal and pursuit was to cook these ingredients into the most top-tier dishes.
Similarly, this was also the pursuit of Erina Nakiri and the others, which was why they stayed in the kitchen for so long, because Gourmet Manor had abundant ingredients, allowing them to freely unleash their creativity.
They would take time every day to practice, making delicious food with ingredients from Gourmet Manor, dozens of dishes a day, none of them repeated, staying for five or six hours or more.
It was precisely this diligent spirit of research that brought them to where they were today. Looking at the serious and solemn Erina and the others in front of him, Hoshino Sora silently came to his cooking station and pondered.
He always felt that if he didn't work hard, he would eventually be surpassed by these guys, and he didn't want that to happen! He certainly didn't want to be suppressed by his wives.
Of course, in bed, that was an exception. He quite liked the feeling of not having to move himself.
"What are you doing?"
Shaking his head, he strolled over to Hisako Arato's side. Looking at the girl who was cooking, a hint of surprise appeared in Hoshino Sora's eyes. He recognized the ingredients she was processing.
Dragon-snake, turtle, sea cucumber, sparrow, chicken, frog, gecko, and partridge. Most of the animals were alive, still squawking in their cages.
Besides these, there were also various medicinal herbs, but just by looking at these, Hoshino Sora couldn't guess what she was going to make.
"Dragon Turtle Phoenix Soup, to replenish your body."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's voice and feeling him standing behind her, Hisako Arato suddenly relaxed, leaning her entire body against him.
"Replenish my body? Aren't you tired of getting enough from me?"
Supporting the deliberately leaning Hisako Arato, a warmth came from his front. Hoshino Sora said half-jokingly, his eyebrows twitching, feeling that he had been quite provoked.
"No."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Hisako Arato shook her head like a rattle drum.
"I'm just worried your body will break down, so I made this to nourish you. I know you're young and vigorous, and you're fond of beauty. I can't stop you from that, but I want to try my best to complete your body.
If you become unable to later, then we'll suffer too. This is called taking precautions."
Perhaps feeling that she was too concerned about Hoshino Sora, Hisako Arato added a sentence at the end, her small face flushed, not knowing what she was thinking.
"You naughty girl, all you think about are those things. I'll just stand beside you and see what kind of tricks you can pull off."
Reaching out and tapping Hisako Arato's nose, Hoshino Sora playfully scolded her, but his heart was filled with warmth, because from her words, he heard concern and care.
Although the points of concern and care were a bit private, concern was concern, and it didn't distinguish between high and low.
"Then you just watch from the side. I'll let you see my growth during this period!"
Hearing the voice from behind, Hisako Arato said seriously, word by word, then stood up from Hoshino Sora's embrace, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.
The reason was simple: she wanted to prove herself in front of Hoshino Sora. As for why? Just because he was once similar in strength to her, but now he has ascended to the Ten Elite First Seat with his own strength, while she hasn't even touched the edge of the Elite Ten.
She was unwilling!
She wanted to prove herself, to prove her strength to the man in front of her, to let him know that she was also working hard to improve!
Getting straight to it, she killed the snake, peeled it, removed its head and internal organs, and cut it into inch-long pieces; the turtle was gutted and washed; the sea cucumber was rehydrated and cleaned.
The sparrows and partridges were plucked and gutted; the chicken was cut into pieces; the frogs and geckos were gutted and diced.
Water was brought to a boil in a clay pot, then astragalus, codonopsis, angelica, red dates, goji berries, sand ginger, dried tangerine peel, and other medicinal herbs were added. These were all ingredients she had researched for a long time, ensuring strong medicinal efficacy while maintaining the dish's flavor.
Medicinal cuisine, with medicine first and cuisine second, despite this, unpalatable medicinal cuisine still has no market, while delicious medicinal cuisine has a wider audience, which is also the key to Hisako Arato's research.
After the casserole boils, simmer on high heat for half an hour, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 2 hours. When serving, open the lid and add salt and pepper.
Because the waiting time was a bit long, Hoshino Sora stared at it for a while and then lost interest, then moved his feet and quickly came to Erina Nakiri's side.
At this time, she was processing a Ground Rabbit. The reason it's called a Ground Rabbit is because its feet are exceptionally strong, allowing it to burrow into the soil and move quickly, making it very difficult to catch.
Erina Nakiri also spent a lot of effort to catch it.
Creature Name: Ground Rabbit (Native)
Quality: Silver (Medium)
Creature Description: Four agile limbs, most delicious. Can burrow hundreds of meters underground in its normal state, leaving no trace, making it difficult for ordinary people to catch.
What she wanted to make was also very simple: Braised Rabbit with Scallions, emphasizing its original flavor. After all, it was her first time trying this ingredient, so she needed to taste its original flavor first.
This is also the foundation of Erina Nakiri's cooking: first, use her God Tongue to taste the most essential flavor of the dish, then combine it with the original flavor to create variations. Through this back-and-forth research, she can quickly create a completely new dish.
Seeing this, Hoshino Sora did not make a sound, his gaze fixed above Erina Nakiri. As her movements quickened, and the Braised Rabbit with Scallions was served, a cunning rabbit's phantom suddenly appeared in the air.
