It was her third day after she was transported to this new world. The city she was in was not bad at all. She could sleep anywhere, like in someone's attic. For the last two nights, she had been sleeping on a random person's houss, though that person's remark about large noise on her attic made her wary of sleeping there anymore, lest that person found her. She had to make a plan for her sleeping arrangement later, she thought.
Like yesterday, she took the cooking ration quest once again. The quest was an easy way to gather food, so until she felt her resource was sufficient, she'd do the quest repeatedly. Besides, she had nothing better to do.
She arrived at the kitchen, and went to prepare the necessary ingredients. Taking everything from the shelves and cabinet, she put the ingredients on the counter top.
Powdered milk, check. Honey, check. Agar powder... it was insufficient. She wouldn't be able to make it to 40 batches. At most, she estimated, she would be able to make half of it, maybe less.
At that point, she could create another stock of the powder, though that would be really time consuming. seeing no other alternative, she proceeded to create the agar powder.
She opened the book of recipes, looking for the recipe to create the agar powder. One entry mentioned freezing and thawing the extract of boiled seaweed, while another said to bake them in the oven. The second one seemed to be less complicated than the first one, therefore she decided to use the second recipe.
first she took a toothpick and use it to pierce through the top of each leaf. It would serve as the place to hang the algae by using the toothpick to suspend it to a wireframe.
Putting the wireframe into the oven, she made the red algae hanging inside it. She then turned the fire on and waited. Periodically, she opened the oven to see if the algae leaves would crumble from a touch. After it was crumbling, she took them out.
the next step was to grind them. She grounded the crumbling algae using the mortar and pestle, and went to store them in a new jar.
“good enough”.
Her body stiffened. She slowly turned her head and found the man stared at her. Was she too focused, that she did not realize when the man entered the kitchen? The man then went closer and took the jar from her.
"It seems like you could follow a basic instruction." The man remarked. She felt a note of arrogance in his tone. The man then ignored her, continuing his task.
After that, she proceeded with making the ration bars needed for her task. Since there was no more problem with the ingredients, she put the work, until she finished making 40 ration bars. Bowing to the man, she left and went to submit that days' task.
