Seeing that she had accidentally buried Satou's face in her chest, Ryoko Sakaki's pretty face instantly turned crimson.
Alice Nakiri, who was nearby, quickly helped her up and asked, "Ryoko, are you alright?"
"Ah? I... I'm fine."
Ryoko Sakaki brushed her hair back and said, blushing.
"Hmm."
Kobayashi Rindo narrowed her eyes slightly, observing Satou and Ryoko Sakaki with her golden pupils, and said, "Looks like someone got a good deal."
"How is it, Ryoko's figure is quite good, right?"
She revealed two sharp little canine teeth and teased.
"Uh, not bad."
Satou rubbed his nose, somewhat awkwardly.
That scene happened too fast, he didn't even react, and then his vision went completely dark, covered by two masses of something.
But now that he thought back, those two masses were indeed exceptionally plump and incredibly elastic, even larger than Erina, almost comparable to Thor.
Ryoko Sakaki's cheeks flushed, and she secretly glanced at Satou, feeling very embarrassed.
Afterward, Satou went to the cold storage, calculating the time, the beef should be almost marinated.
For making dried beef, the marinating time is not long; after marinating, it can be eaten in a few days if placed in a well-ventilated area.
The marinating time for smoked meat, however, is a bit longer.
"Satou, the beef is already marinated, but if you want to make smoked pork, it will take a while longer."
Seeing Satou return, Tadokoro Megumi couldn't help but say with a smile.
"Is that so?"
Satou asked with a smile.
"But, do you have anywhere to hang it here?"
Yukihira Soma scratched his head and asked.
"Uh, no, we don't."
Satou said with some difficulty. The Tsundere's mansion didn't have a suitable place to hang air-dried meat. If it were hung on the upstairs balcony, it would be too unsightly.
"Why don't you hang it at our Polar Star Dormitory!"
Tadokoro Megumi said with a smile, "Ryoko has a fermentation room, and Ibusaki has a smoking room. Speaking of which, Ibusaki is good at smoked dishes, so when it's time to smoke the pork, we can ask him for help."
"Is that so? Thank you very much."
Satou quickly thanked her.
At Far Moon, Polar Star Dormitory was a special existence, owning its own land and managing its own finances.
These were all won through Shokugeki during the golden age.
Returning to the kitchen, Erina Nakiri and the others had already stomped on the grapes. Originally, they were going to add some sugar, but they chose to use coral candy instead, then put it in plastic jars, waiting for it to ferment.
When brewing wine, there's a saying:'seven parts grape, three parts brewing,' meaning that seven-tenths of the final product depends on the raw material of the grapes, and only three-tenths depends on the brewing technique.
Although the method was still a bit rough, since it was all made with diamond grape, it was still something to look forward to.
However, thinking that this wine was made by three girls stomping on it with their feet, Satou always felt a bit strange.
But thinking that historically renowned high-end wineries all did it this way, Satou just accepted it.
Erina Nakiri and the others had already washed their feet and put on their shoes.
"It'll be ready to drink in seven days."
Kobayashi Rindo surveyed her finished product with a grin, nodding in satisfaction.
"It'll be ready that fast?"
Yukihira Soma asked.
"Mm, seven to ten days will do. Of course, if you want a better taste, you can age it, which means continuing to brew it for a bit longer."
Kobayashi Rindo nodded, then leaned in front of Satou, "Hey, hey, I say, junior..."
Before she could say anything, Satou knew what this person wanted to do and couldn't help but glance at her sideways.
"Junior, what's with that expression? Your senior personally helped you make wine; most people don't get that kind of treatment!"
She twisted Satou's face and said grumpily.
You personally stomped it with your feet, didn't you?
Satou muttered to himself.
"I can give you a little."
Satou nodded.
Kobayashi Rindo immediately smiled with satisfaction, "Your senior's feet are very fragrant, so this time you got a good deal!"
Satou: "..."
"Are you looking down on your senior?"
Kobayashi Rindo twisted Satou's face, grinding her teeth, and said, "If you don't believe me, do you want to smell them?"
"...I'd rather not."
Satou said speechlessly.
"Haha, Satou hasn't smelled it before? When Rindo-senpai squeezed him with her leg."
Yukihira Soma burst out laughing and said.
"Hehe, you smelled her panties, didn't you?"
Yuki Yoshino giggled and teased.
Kobayashi Rindo's face immediately turned bright red, and she glared at her fiercely.
Next, everyone played there for a while, each with a string of cotton candy, eating with relish.
The faces and noses of the girls were covered in cotton candy threads and colorful sugar powder, looking very cute.
When they had played enough, everyone prepared to leave.
Yukihira Soma and Tadokoro Megumi helped carry the beef.
"Are these beef prepared for air-drying?"
Ryoko Sakaki asked.
"Yes. We'll trouble you."
Satou said with a smile.
"It's fine, you can put it outside my fermentation room."
Ryoko Sakaki brushed her hair behind her ear, stuck out her tongue, and said somewhat playfully, "Just remember to give me a little when it's air-dried."
"Mm, that's what I should do."
Satou nodded with a smile.
"Junior, remember to give me some too!"
Kobayashi Rindo patted his shoulder with a smile and said.
"I got it."
Satou said helplessly.
After seeing everyone off, Satou returned to his Apartment and was surprised to find that Kasumigaoka Utaha next door had already returned.
Satou remembered that she seemed to have gone to some book signing event a few days ago, so she wasn't around.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was dressed the same as before, with a pair of black stockings on her long legs and a white hairband tying her black long hair, looking very beautiful.
"Senior, how were the results of the book signing?"
Satou asked.
"Mm, the cumulative sales of 'love metronome' have already exceeded six hundred thousand copies."
Kasumigaoka Utaha was clearly in a good mood, saying with a smile.
"That's truly amazing!"
Satou exclaimed in admiration, truly worthy of being a genius young writer!
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've had your cooking. Shouldn't you treat me a little?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled slightly and asked, "If you satisfy your senior's tongue, maybe your senior can give you a small reward, like original-flavored stockings or something."
