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

At a tavern close to the inn.

"" It's bitter!!? ""

The faces of the test platoon frowned magnificently at the bite of the nigauri.

"Nh... it's bitter."

Takeo was also eating with his fingers between his brows.

Sho... Director... it's bitter...

"It's bitter... please have a strong flavor..."

Brooke and Follet say it as they stand up.



Vieira and Mia are shaking as they push down on their desks.

"Excuse me ~, the beef soaked in wine is served for 6 people.

It's cut into bite-sized pieces as you requested. ”

“Yes, thank you.”

Then, the meat dish on the large plate that I had asked for came, and everyone carried it to the plate first while Takeshi was thanking the clerk.

"... All right! Let's grow it!"

"" Why are you here!? ""

Everyone is surprised by what Takeshi says.

"No, if you ate this when your appetite wasn't boiling, you'd probably eat something else like this, right?"

Isn't that right? No, it's not!

What kind of torture is that? "

"Um... because..."

Besides, the bitterness is strong, but the underlying taste is refreshing.

I don't think it will be fixed to a specific flavor, so I think it will be added to a variety of flavors. "

Isn't it bitter?

Andersen says.

It's bitter, but it's not like salt or sweetness, right?

Is it different in the director...

"There was definitely a way to relieve the bitterness, but..."

This is just a normal cut, isn't it? "

Takeshi says while thinking about it.

What? You're going to lose your bitterness?

Brooke asks.

"It's just soothing."

It doesn't disappear at all.

Hmm... I was supposed to knead it with salt or boil it with salt, but...

And I think light frying in oil was a less bitter cooking method. ”

When... I mean, what time?

"As a base treatment, I think it is better to knead it with salt after cutting and then fry it by pulling the oil.

Since Nigauri itself has no flavor, it would be better if the fried meat together was light as oak and pork.

Just meat and nigauri doesn't look good, so let's add some melted eggs to improve the color. ”

Takeshi says while thinking about how to cook.

Director... Is that delicious?

If the director thinks about it, I think I can eat more than this...

“I hesitate when it comes to this bitterness again.”

Lord Kitamizato, can you really make something to eat?

Everyone is afraid to ask.

"Cooking is basically about making delicious things while failing.

First of all, we have to make it.

So on your return journey, let's create a Nigauri dish. ”

"" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "

Everyone dropped their shoulders together.

... don't you like it that much?

Then... would you like to do it about once every three days? "

Takeshi watches everyone's reaction and makes a compromise proposal.

"Sho... Director, once every four days?"

"I think it's too much time, but... well... once every three days, I'm tired of the same dish..."

Would you like to serve it once every 4 days? "

"Yes! I can put up with it once every four days! Maybe!"

"No, you don't have to force it to eat."

Instead of making enough for everyone, all you have to do is make one serving and eat one slice at a time.

Well, in the meantime, let's cum every 4 days or so. "

Takeshi says while giving up.

"Excuse me."

It is a stir-fry of the vegetables that have been brought in.

At first, it is cut into thin strips and fried in oil as instructed. ”

and the clerk explain with a strange look.

“Yes, thank you.”

When Takeshi says thank you, the clerk goes down.

"Lord Kitamizato... it looks like you really just fried it in oil."

Langford said while looking at the fried food.

"I'll check the taste of what I bought for dinner today..."

I thought it would be good to eat something that was raw or cooked thoroughly and easily seasoned with salt to get to know the taste of the product.

Well, when I asked this person, they said that carrots are not eaten raw, so I got them through the fire with oil this time.

Well then, let's eat.

I'll take it. "

"" "" Thank you. "" "

Everyone chants the words of Takeo and eats a bite.

Start with the pumpkin.

"Ah, it's sweet."

"Pumpkins are sweet when they're boiled or baked, but they're also sweet with our oil."

"Is it sweeter than what you usually eat?"

No, on the contrary, isn't it sweet and modest?

Everyone praises each other.

"Hmm... it's delicious."

Takeo nodded as he thought about it.

"Ahh..."

"That's right, compared to the bitter thing just now, this is delicious on every step, right?"

Both Biella and Mia ate the pumpkin safely.

"A carrot is... a carrot."

"" Yeah, it's a carrot. ""

"It's a bit bitter... don't you smell it?"

"It's a little different, but I don't care that much."

Even so, the color is bright red even when fried in oil. ”

"I feel like it was originally bright red... but I still have the impression that it looks good."

"It doesn't change so much in terms of flavor, but bright red may be used as a dish."

Everyone appreciates it.

... oh, I see.

I noticed that Takeo was eating a carrot.

Everyone is paying attention.

"The taste of carrots is the same, but does it smell like vegetables?"

Somewhat, it smells like cucumber. "

"" Ahhh. ""

Everyone is convinced.

"Well... for now, is this what it's like today?"

And what did you order from the menu?

If there is something that hasn't come, please remember it.

Mr. Andersen, I will allow the test platoon to drink alcohol. "

Roger that.

I don't want you to drink too much alcohol. "

"" "" "Two cups, please!!

The test platoon said to Andersen.

"... I'll give them up to two drinks, but when they arrive at the inn, if it's no good, I'll force them to take care of it and cure them."

"Hah... this face won't get so drunk with two cups."

I'll leave it to you. "

Takeshi tells Andersen.

Captain! Captain Andersen, what do you want to drink?

"Captain Luck! Lord Langford!" Director Denham, what do you want to drink, Deputy Haggard? "

Brooke and Follet were going to collect the alcohol orders.
