[Open Mingle] Entry 003

Who: Kazuma Asogi, Soldier: 76, Susato Mikotoba and anyone else.
Which: Open mingle
Where: The Wild Harvest, located on the ground floor of Kazuma's home.
What: Soft opening for a small pub called the Wild Harvest.




A new pub has opened in Reverein, though the news is only being spread through word of mouth, or if people just happen by the place this month. Kazuma isn't exactly new to managing a pub, but he wanted to be sure he does it right this time. So he's keeping things small and simple, while the crew work out any issues that may come up during the month.

The place already has a much more welcoming feel to it compared to the Hydeout, like a quaint little neighborhood pub. Right next to the pub was a garden, part of it growing into the pub itself. There's a herb station setup if people want grab something else to add to their dishes, though at the moment, the selection is limited until they can grow more plants. There are garnish and spice noodle dragons also roaming about, and they will occasionally add a little extra to a customer's food or drink.

The menu itself is moderately simple, listing various eastern and western style street food dishes. There is also a note that reads: Can request something to be cooked off menu, as long as there are ingredients.

A sign has been put up near the entrance, listing the seasonal specials for the month.


Hot Chocolate (Alchoholic and Non)
Eggnog (Alchoholic and Non)
Cinnamon Apple Spice Tea
Meat Stew.
Roast Fowl.

Note: Meat will vary depending on what's available for the day.


Another can be found at the bar, this one being a "help wanted" sign. While Kazuma is satisfied having a crew he can trust, he could probably do with a full time bartender and bouncer. There are only three staffed at this pub right now. Kazuma is handling the front the best he can. He's not as conversive as his Hyde counterpart, but he'll try since he'll be the one most people will see. Occasionally 76 can be seen at the bar handling drinks, otherwise he'll be preparing the food along with Susato in the kitchen. A few times she'll peek out from the back to help clear tables, talking to the others during down time as she adjust to working a restaurant.

[This is basically an open mingle log for people to use the pub setting for whatever they like! Kazuma, Susato and/or 76 may also tag in, unless specified. Pub and garden area are open to the public.]

It's one type of stew, yeah; meat in it today is beef. Might be different tomorrow, using what I'm able to get my hands on and one of the farmers I've been helping out paid me in some good cuts of beef.

[A cow that went out in old age, which meant the meat was a bit tougher so stewing it to get it nice and tender -bring out flavor- was the best way to use it. He'd go hunting for deer once this ran out, or rabbit.

Whatever he could get-]


Have an alternative that just uses vegetables for folks that don't like, or don't want, to eat meat.
twilightskey: (Smile bright)

Huh... I didn't know you could have so many different kinds of stew.

[Just goes to show how little he knows about things. He goes to take a spoonful of soup, scooping it up and taking a bite.]

[Nom.]

[...]

[And his face lights up.]


Mm! This is really good!
steadypulse: (But here we are)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2022-01-07 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
It's a flexible sort of "let sit and cook low" comforting meal.

[At least some people found them comforting, and he knew how flexible they could be. Throw just about anything on hand together and it could make an edible stew.

76 did chuckle faintly, leaning against the bar.]


Glad you like it. Enjoy it.
twilightskey: (What are friends for?)

[personal profile] twilightskey 2022-01-07 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Roxas isn't really sure what "let sit and cook low" means, but it must mean it produces something as tasty as the stew. He takes another bite all the more.]

Thanks. You really know a lot about cooking, huh? If you weren't a fighter, I think you'd make a good chef.
steadypulse: (S o . . . . . .)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2022-01-08 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Essentially he was right.

76 was keeping a watchful eye for anyone else approaching the bar, knowing that both Susato and Kazuma had the floor if they weren't busy elsewhere. Had to do his part to help cover spots after all; reason he was behind the bar at the moment at all.]


Mostly recipes I know from my Ma, and cook books kept around the house. I enjoyed reading, and learning through doing.
twilightskey: (I'll treasure this)

[personal profile] twilightskey 2022-01-11 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Your Ma? She must be really smart to come up with so many different kinds of cooking.

[It makes him wonder what kind of person 76’s mother is.]

You can really learn to cook just from books and practicing? That sounds easy enough… maybe I should give something a try. [The only thing he really cooked since getting here was melting some chocolate for chocolate bacon, and most of that was Sora’s work.]
steadypulse: (I made my mistakes)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2022-01-11 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds a lot simpler than it can be, but that is basically it. Learn from whatever mistakes you make while trying to learn a recipe, one step at a time.

[He found it soothing, really. When he had the time, making something mostly to share or give others. Didn't eat as much as he should, but that was slowly changing even if it meant he'd eventually put on weight he was meant to carry rather than- well.

He was far thinner than he should be given everything.]
twilightskey: (What are friends for?)

[personal profile] twilightskey 2022-01-13 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Heh... that's kind of like training, then. Or learning a new fighting style.

[Guess practice goes a long way no matter what it's applied to. Cooking, fighting Heartless, learning magic... Maybe they're a lot more in-line than he thought?]
steadypulse: (Seriously don't give me that)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2022-01-13 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
Basically, just with food and making something edible.

[Tasting good could come after the 'make it edible' part because sometimes it seemed the be a harder one to get.]
twilightskey: (Which parts... were the dream?)

[personal profile] twilightskey 2022-01-17 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[Roxas takes another bite of the soup before an idea hits him.]

Could you teach me some things sometime?
steadypulse: (How can this happen to me)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2022-01-17 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, if you want.

[Honestly, all the better for people to have the know how in a place like this.

Able to take care of themselves that much more in a 'practical' way, not just fighting but more well being.]
twilightskey: (I'll be waiting)

[personal profile] twilightskey 2022-01-19 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[That makes a smile appear on Roxas's face.]

Yeah, I'd really like that. I think it could be fun!

[Plus if he gets to learn about how to make cool foodstuffs, he's down for it! He wants to learn more things, not just accept what's been told to him like he'd done in the past.]
steadypulse: (As I go on and do my thing)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2022-01-19 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Give him one more thing to do on top of, well, again he thought it was better to know that not. Especially in a place like this where for the most part they were providing for themselves for any proper meals.]

Could be- and you enjoy that stew. Just get my attention if you want another- or anything else to eat for that matter.
twilightskey: (Heheh!)

[personal profile] twilightskey 2022-01-19 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
I will for sure. Thanks, 76.

[He will definitely enjoy that stew!]
