A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

A shop in Levant, the capital of the Demon King.

"Auntie, do you have anything?

I'll ask you anything for fun.

Valerie, sitting in a barrage, calls out to Levant.

"Daniela, there's nothing in particular.

It's not fun, but thanks to Daniela, I've got an estimate of Count Brini's territory.

I got Carla's share, so if you'll excuse me, I'll make a quote for Simona in the back.

Take it easy.

"Yes, Auntie.

Levant stood up and told Valerie and the others to take the paper from behind and go to a seat away.

"... so? Karla, why are you depressed?

Carla was depressed sitting next to Valerie.

"Fu... I didn't know you could export more than the Kingdom of Briani (Japan)... you licked it.

If we are not number one, we may be able to export in the future.

"Carla, is that because you consumed more?

The Earl of Brini (over there) doesn't know how to cook.

Aren't you going to release almost everything?

"Daniela... that cooking method will have a huge impact on the domestic consumption structure.

In fact, we are consuming a lot of stockpiles.

This year's production was about to start, but suddenly it started to grow in bulk.

"Wow, that's it.

"Well, in the demon kingdom, we only make it in the Earl of Brini territory.

You think it's no big deal, but...

It's close to a revolution... "

Carla is worried with her arms crossed.

"... Carla, did you find something?

"Yeah, it's just... the cooking method itself hasn't changed, but I've changed the way I wear it... and the results are too big.

"What do you mean?

"Daniela, there are ingredients that don't go well with bread.

"Oh, is it a fish that comes to mind right away?

Especially river fish have a lot of bones, so I don't think it would be very delicious to fry them and sandwich them in bread because they smell a little raw.

Deep-fried river fish are rarely eaten because it takes time and effort to remove bones, soak them in wine, and so on.

Even if I eat it as it is, I will eat it with salt.

I feel like I've eaten that alone.

Is it different from rice?

"Well... I actually cooked the river fish underground and salted with rice.

"That was... quite a challenge.

You need to be ready to bake the baked fish into the dough.

It doesn't seem to taste good.

"I think so.

I thought so, too.

"Was it delicious?

"No, I didn't think it was delicious at first... but the flavor was unique and it was normal.

You see, Daniela, it was normal!

"If what I thought was not delicious was normal, it would be quite a shock.

"Yeah, I'm surprised.

After that, did the cooks try a lot, add more salt, put sugar in, or even honey?

I put in a variety of fragrances... but I made something that looked and tasted good enough for dinner.

"Wow, it's pretty good to be at the queen's dinner.

You'll feed me when I go, won't you?

"It's okay, Daniela can feed you.

So I tried eating with bread that I had refrained from eating.

"Oh... the elves are motivated.

You don't have to take such an adventure.

What are the results? "

"It was delicious... that's 90% too.

I can't tell you how to cook it right now, but if you thicken the flavor and simmer it, it will suit freshly cooked rice!

Plus, Daniela, there's a flake.

"The red fish and the rest of the flesh around the spine and the skin of the fish are scraped and boiled with a spoon or something, right?

It is well dried in salad.

"Well... it would be great if you sprinkled a little salt over it and mixed it over freshly cooked rice.

I don't need it anyway.

"What!?

That's what makes me want to eat.

"I was hoping to see Lord Kitamizato again and talk to him.

Of course I'll take the cook with me.

"From now on?

"No, I have to check the plans on the other side of the boulder.

I thought I'd talk to Aunt Levant about that... I'm here, but I think we should wait.

"Ah, I'm making a rice quote.

And Valerie and Carla are looking at Levant.

Auntie!

Simona jumps into the store.

"Hmm? Oh? Welcome, Simona.

I just got a quote for rice.

I'm writing to Simona.

And we've got a couple of schwashy white wines for you to try.

"Auntie! Thank you!

This is from me!

When Levant calls, Simona puts the paperwork in front of her at a glance.

"??... What is this?

"This is a quote for the transportation of grain and dried goods from the First Army of the Imperial Castle.

"... you're early.

So? It's kind of thick.

"Is that... that? Daniela and Carla?

Thank you ~

Simona was now aware of the presence of Valerie and Carla.
