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

In the evening, Takeo and his party camped in a vacant lot near the entrance of the village, which was scheduled to arrive on the first day from the city where the Godwin County Mansion was located.

For the time being, I got permission from the village chief, so I don't have any problems...

"... is that it?"

Takeshi lays four large pots next to each other on a kindling, spreads out his notebooks in front of him while simmering the pots.

Director, what's the matter?

Meyer asks.

"No, I supplied bread, meat and vegetables at the Countess Godwin's residence, so there was no problem..."

You may have consumed a little too much macaroni. ”

Isn't the whole pasta enough?

“No, I've brought two months' worth of pasta for this number of people.

It seems that I've used a lot of the salad I brought for my salad on the way.

The rest... is 15 times the amount consumed so far. "

"Well, you made it for four days in a row."

The number of dishes is 10, right?

The macaroni salad was delicious. ”

Meyer nodded.

“I didn't think it would be that popular.

I just boiled the macaroni, crushed the boiled eggs, mixed it with mayonnaise, and sliced the vegetables... "

Takeo says.

"In the first place, the potato salad and macaroni salad are delicious at the time of using a lot of mayonnaise.

What is it today? ”

“Today, I made a soup with thick salt, so it's pasta soup.

At the far right is boiling pasta. The rest is soup.

There were three loaves of bread, and I tried to make a coleslaw for the salad.

The vegetables are cut into pieces and mixed with mayonnaise.

When I ate a little while making it, it was crispy, and the flavor was just what I was aiming for.

Well, try it. "

"I understand.

I will eat the coleslaw while enjoying it later. "

Meyer says.

“Meyer, did you have a problem with taking a day off?”

"I don't have it.

There are no problems with your health, and there is no damage to your weapons.

I asked Lord Mia about the condition of each horse, but there was no problem.

No abnormalities were found in carriages, etc.

The process is progressing as planned. ”

Meyer says.

"I understand.

If so, the arrival date will remain the same as August 4.

If you can get an inn in a town or town, go to the inn and camp if you can't.

When supplies are running low, we will replenish them every time. I found out that in the next town, macaroni procurement and vegetable-based products have never happened in many places, so I will buy cabbage, onions, carrots, and a large amount of vegetables. "

Roger that.

Be careful, as we are close to the battlefield, I think there will be a surge in prices. "

Meyer says.

Yeah.

I'm rather interested in how expensive it is. ”

Director, are you going to do something?

No, there is a vegetable production system in Nishimachi now in the territory of Count Elvis, right?

"It was for Worcester sauce, wasn't it?"

"Yes, I can use it to make wooster sauce right now, but the point is that I can sell it, but one day it will be the first time.

To increase the population of villages and towns, you will need something processed from vegetables. ”

... well, that's right.

But it's not a few years, is it? "

"At the earliest, maybe a dozen years from now, generations will change."

However, we must seek it now.

If you start now, you won't be late at that time.

If we start now, we can spend time on research. ”

"It's a word that the director often utters."

So, what does the director do with the vegetables? "

"Establishment of the freeze-drying method... other than vacuum."

"Um... I don't know what you're talking about, so please give me an overview."

Meyer says with a subtle look on his face.

Nh... I wonder if the technique of drying the vegetables and putting them back in the hot water...?

Takeshi says while thinking about it.

"Ahh... I'll dry it back... now it's dried meat and fish."

"Yeah, I want to make a vegetable version of that."

We, the military, and those who can afford it can take raw vegetables and meat with us in a magical big bag.

However, those who can't buy large bags are mainly dried meat and can't take their vegetables with them. "

"That's right.

However, there are towns and villages about a day by carriage along the road.

Well, there were places like Count Elvis and the King's Landing.

Still, the situation is that vegetables can be obtained in two days.

Ah, that's why you're not in a hurry. "

"Yes, under the circumstances that can be obtained at a discount, there is no significant shortage in the current situation, so I think it can be studied.

Besides, it will help housewives not only on the battlefield and on the move, but also in general life. ”

"Hmm... the way the director says it, it doesn't seem to mean drying the vegetables while they are still being picked."

"That's right.

I want to dry it in a cut state.

That way, if you put it in the pot in the first stage of the soup, the original crispiness will return somewhat by the time you eat it.

It will help housewives spend less time on housework. ”

"I see, and it looks like it can be used by people living alone."

It tends to be a meat-only diet, so even if you want to eat vegetables suddenly, you can't buy them whole.

So it might be easier for someone living alone to buy a soup if they know that they have something simple to add. ”

Meyer says.

I see, can you sell something like powdered soup?

Takeshi says he's the boss.

"Hmm? Director, did you come up with anything?"

"No, I thought dried vegetables would sell surprisingly well."

"I don't think it will sell very much, but I think it will sell quite well.

That's why the personnel of the Royal Guard may want to travel a lot. ”

“That's good information.”

Takeo nodded.
