VRMMO Chef
Chapter 5: Let’s try it.
Author: こんどうさん Translator: Damyabo

The next day, I am wandering around the wild gra.s.sland.
If you just walk around without observing anything, there is no way you can find foodstuffs.
It is not the season but the root vegetables like radish, carrot, potato can be found here.
I think this is the benefit of [Plant Knowledge] and [Food Knowledge].
As I find various vegetables my skill levels have risen so fast.
In addition, I see some herbal plants like turmeric and licorice but as I don’t plan on using them this time it is a pa.s.s.
If only I was in a farm, it would save a lot of time to gather them.
It is painful to gather them as they are spreading through the field randomly.
Still, if you walk around carefully and search around carefully you can find foodstuffs in various ways.

Hmm, where do residents of this city find foodstuffs?
I am wondering about such things suddenly but as it is a setting in the game, it will be better if I don’t care about the details.
Yay, I found a vine of pepper.

Yosh, as I secure some ingredients, I come back to the town feeling satisfied.
Hmm, where should I cook?
I buy some salt at a shop, but the shop seems crowded.
As a result I retreat from the shop and I try to ask for a place in a nearby restaurant.
When I talk to someone who seems to be a kind boss, she let me use the kitchen although she is reluctant at first.

Let’s wash my hands first.
I wash the cooking utensils next, I decide to borrow the workbench and sink (for a fee) but I will not lend the cookware from her as I have them already.
Then, I prepare the vegetables next.
First without the need to use fire, I plan to practice cutting vegetables first.
I take out three types of vegetables; radish, carrot and cabbage.

After washing the cabbage, I cut it into two lengthwise.
I lost my right hand in the accident and because of that I could not use the knives so far.
I still have some worry if my hands are rusted but the body seems to remember the feeling.
At first the kitchen knife stray away from the path with a lazy sound, but when I finish cutting a whole ball of cabbage, a straight line of cabbage is formed with a light sound.
I will pretend not to notice the chef and the lady boss of this diner opening their mouth with shock hen they see this.
To think that I can be able to use a kitchen knife after such an accident, I am so happy.
In this s.p.a.ce, I have food ingredients and I cut them.
That’s it. That is all that matters to me.

Next is radish.
First, I remove the leaves in its head.
Then I cut it to a length slightly shorter than the blade length of the kitchen knife.
As it is not a big radish, it can be done in only two minutes.
I move the knife rounds and rounds along the circ.u.mference.
In the first one, the extraction is done without problem even though the thickness do not become even.
I am able to peel the second one cleanly and without fault to the end.
Of course, I also chop them into julienne and they look just like small matchsticks.

The last is carrot and I am looking forward to it too.
Because it is harder than radish, if the knife sway even a little, it wont result in good shape.
So I will peel it slowly and thinly.
This leaves the core of about 2 centimeters in diameter after I finish peeling.
I cut it into pieces and mix with cabbage and radish cut slices.
Finally the remaining core is sliced thin slivers like drawing a semicircle from the top to the bottom.
It gradually becomes smaller and smaller.
As I peel the vegetables while rotating them slightly, peeled skins are like flowers lying on the chopping board.

People, people after people try to peek the process.
They raise their breath with amazing faces while standing there.
Indeed, there is also an inaudible voice of admiration.
No no, may be my imagination.

So, the shredded vegetables were to be bought by the lady boss, so I shred two more b.a.l.l.s of cabbage as the service.
Moreover, when I ask the lady boss if I can sell [Materials] here, I got a ‘yes’ immediately.
I come out of the store happily.

By the way, I got 1000 G as the price for this time, my [Skill] of [Cooking] has increased by 10 as well.

Is it okay to get this much?

TN:
I think this is the best I can do atm,I am f–ked up somewhere in translating the cabbage, radish and carrot cutting.

I am starting to doubt my phrasing there(and cooking knowledge) xD
Hope you can read it without problem.
