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

The rooms of Takeo and the others in the Imperial Castle.

Takeshi was allowed to go out in the dormitory, and since he had more time, he came back to the royal castle, but there were visitors.

Lord Kitamizato, this is how we purify gelatin.

The chef places a booklet in front of Takeso.

“Thank you.

Are there any changes to the terms of sale? ”

"No, I don't."

Same as Worcester Sauce, it is sold only in the four noble territories of the Demon Kingdom, and it is not sold to the west of the King's City and the Kingdom.

The expense was signed for 30 gold coins.

This is the contract. ”

"Yes, I understand."

... by the way, is it okay to sell it to the Demon Kingdom in the same way as Worcester Sauce? "

"Is that... an export of gelatin?"

"Huh? No."

It is a product that uses gelatin.

I hope it will be good if it is an exported item, but it can be used in small quantities.

We will aim to acquire foreign currency. "

... Lord Kitamizato... food made from gelatin is jelly, right?

"... I see."

“How do you transport it?”

"That's what we're going to do."

But I think if there's something unusual, it'll sell well, so I'd like to make it somehow. ”

"Hmm... If you can make something and go outside, please give me the information."

Please consult with us about the price. "

The head chef lowers his head.

“I know.

That's mutual, isn't it?

By the way, do you have any gelatin sweets? "

"Is that something other than jelly?"

Yeah.

I don't think so.

"I see..."

Takeshi says, tilting his neck.

“Do you have anything?”

"No, I thought maybe I could make some sweets because I was preparing gelatin dishes first."

“Cooking isn't that easy.”

The chef says in awe.

But Takeo said, "The difference between jelly and gummy is the amount of gelatin, right?... maybe you threw it away as a failure?" I think.

“And your Majesty has given me a recipe for potato dishes from the Empire of Katranda.

What should we do? "

"Isn't there no choice but to try to make it with creativity?"

"... is this it?"

The chef places a piece of paper in front of Takeshi.

"Excuse me... yeah, I don't know."

"That's right.

For example... it says, "The potatoes were in the sweet soup, and the onions and carrots were cut into pieces."

The sweet soup only contained potatoes, onions, and carrots, right? ”

"Nh... if you just say it, you can think of it as putting sugar in a normal vegetable soup, but... what I wrote on purpose was that it was a novel dish.

However, there was no change of several meters when I looked at it.

In the meantime, you need to try it out. ”

"Hmmm... why don't you simmer the most important and important dishes carefully?"

After making the stock with shiitake mushrooms, add a little sugar... and check the taste. Then add potatoes, onions, and carrots and simmer for a bell. "

“Maybe the amount of sugar is the most important thing in this dish.”

That's right.

The head chef nodded at Takeo's words.

Speaking of which, you heard about His Highness Ann.

"... is it a culinary school, Her Highness Anne?"

"Yes, as an overview, we will conduct it in the small kitchen in the Imperial Castle and teach them the basics of cooking."

Students will be gathered on the recommendation of each lord and royal family. ”

"Is that the basics of cooking..."

“Yes, cleaning and organizing the kitchen, sorting vegetables and cutting meat, cooking and serving methods.

It will last for a year and a half, and after that you will be given a letter of introduction to each restaurant and the nobility's kitchen. ”

“There are quite a few advantages.”

"There is."

In addition, they will live in the Royal Castle, and classes will be held during the day, but at dinner, they will help with the canteen of the civil and military officials in the Royal Castle.

Well, I'll start with cleaning, but there's more I can do step by step. ”

"Do you mean you have a solid practical skill?"

"Yes, I will treat it as an apprentice.

Well, we'll discuss how far we can get them.

It's nice to have people here to clean after dinner. ”

"Well, I hope you can find a satisfactory way to do it."

So what? "

"Yes, the instructor will be dispatched from our cook at the Imperial Castle."

You asked Lord Kita Mizato for personnel, didn't you? "

"By the way, didn't Count Elvis tell you?"

Takeshi says while thinking about it.

"Yes, I haven't decided on the outline yet."

I did not say to the nobles. "

"... but I have a request."

"Yes, I'm asking Hilda-sama."

He invented apple pie and lasagna made in the royal castle. ”

"I haven't decided whether to go to Hilda yet, and I'll be back to talk about it."

Oh, my God, your Majesty is a little light-hearted, too.

... the recipe is private. "

Takeshi said, putting his arms together and thinking.

"I know, Lord Kitamizato."

I'm not trying to ask.

But I was wondering if you could come up with a very promising cook? I just thought. "

The chef says.

"... haah, that's when I'll be back."

Takao was dumbfounded.
