Page 24's "I want more" smile was the best.

You found the gem.... it's a High Quality meme material

Rice + ice wtf japan

 

[SotiCoto]

I swear every time someone brings up the notion of quick, easy food that can be prepped in a hurry, I have to laugh at how much time and effort they have to put into it. Like who the fuck are you kidding? If you can't pick it up and eat it without utensils, there is nothing fast about it.

Was that a flip phone? Oh man I love this manga already

They have magic that resembles kitchen burner's, but no genius in her world thought up the magic equivalent of a refrigerator? Okay.

1. When he says "farmer's wanted a fast dish". He's referring to points in time before fast food restaurants and convenience food, where the only food you ate was what you made yourself for commoners. Making this dish instead baking or stewing something is leagues faster.

2. Even if we discount the point in time the farmer's made this dish, if you had lived outside your parents house for a single day and cooked for yourself, you'd know the difference between a meal that takes three hours to make and one that takes 30 minutes to throw together. Speed is relative, and when you're nowhere near convenience food like this bumpkin is, that's fast dumbass.

It's not that odd if you think about it. A burner uses a chunk of power over a short period of time (about 3-4 hours at most, depending on what's being cooked), while a refrigerator uses power constantly; depending on how the magic of her world works, a permanent ice box magic item may be so ruinously expensive and/or difficult to produce that nobody bothered to create one.

It's kind of like how, in the real world, we have all the technology needed to create flying cars, but we just don't because of a ton of different reasons: fuel costs, production costs, setting up a new division of air traffic control, and the absolute nightmare that would be cars plummeting from the sky because of accidents, to name a few.

1. You can turn a refrigerator into the same type of mechanism that only works for a couple hours. While not exactly the same, an icebox functions off the same basic principles where the "magic" you supply it with only needs to last a few hours. Just open door, create a block of ice in a compartment, and close the device. Boom. Functioning icebox.

2. With no transportation logistics, iceboxes should have been invented far, far earlier in this timeline, as coldness being able to preserve food was discovered far before the ice box design was. Since magic can be produced anywhere, as long as someone in the village can produce ice and you have the metallurgy to design metal boxes, you can make ice boxes.

1. The issue there is that it requires far more regulation, and thus power, to ensure the interior stays cold; the way you're describing it sounds more akin to an A/C unit than an ice box, which only power on when the thermostat registers that the ambient temperature is outside the set values. Which would work, but not in every climate. I'm from Texas, so my A/C often kicks on close to a dozen times a day during summer just to keep things at a near consistent 70F.

2. I haven't read very far yet, so I don't know if much more has been stated about her world, but how do you no they have no transportation issues? She mentioned a scroll of teleportation, but talked about it as if it were so valuable the only time she'd feel okay using it would be in a life-or-death situation. For the most part, it's far more likely that her world (as far as I know from where I am in the story) is the typical fantasy medieval setting with a dash of magic, so the majority of things are done the same way they would have been in the 14th or so century here on Earth (with a few exceptions).

I don't doubt that they've come up with the concept of an ice box using magic, because it is a simple concept, just that they seemingly do not have the ability to implement it reliably.

You don't seem to understand how an icebox works, so let me get a diagram for you.

No fancy smancy regulation or A/C. You literally have a block of ice and a metal box. If you have the ability to make metal boxes, and the ability to get your hands on blocks of ice, you can make an icebox. That is literally all you need for an icebox to work. The reason ice boxes were not possible until the 1800s were because networks were not developed enough to deliver blocks of frozen ice from areas that had ice to areas that needed ice. This brings me to my next point.

2. I haven't read very far yet, so I don't know if much more has been stated about her world, but how do you no they have no transportation issues?

The main difficulties of an icebox working are not the icebox, it's the logistics of moving the ice to said icebox. In a world where people can create ice with magic, you don't need to worry about keeping ice cold and moving it, you just need to have 1 person who can create ice. This is what I mean when I say there's no transportation issues. Humans are moving ice creation machines instead of needing to move ice that gets naturally created by nature to humans for use in iceboxes.

@SotiCoto I guess you don't know how to cook. What they made is extremely simple. Just chop some vegetable and throw them into a soup stock. Way faster than a hamburger. There are plenty of dishes that are more complex.

Raw eggs and rice with no salt would make me cut my guts out for respect, too.
