A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 111: Dinner is ready.
"Miss Alice, dinner is almost here.
and wake up with a pompous slap on Alice's shoulder sleeping in bed.
"Mm-hmm... Master Takeo?
And, Alice comes up with an upper body.
"You slept well.
"Er... that? You slept in Takeo's study, didn't you?
Alice asks as she looks at Kyoro Kyoro.
"Yeah, you slept feeling good.
On the way, the chef came to get me, so I moved him to bed.
"... I've been asleep.
Alice is a little disappointed.
"Hehe, is your body refreshed?
"Yeah, it feels very good.
"That was good. I've got tea for you.
and Takeo wakes Alice out of bed and directs her to the table.
Alice seems to be flattered with her tea mouth when she gets to the table.
"Has Master Takeo finished cooking?
"Yes, it's easy.
The taste was served to Mr. Frederick and the chef, but you were surprised.
"Is that so!?
"Privately, I'm just serving home-cooked food, so it's more surprising to be surprised the other way around.
"Is that what it is?
"Well, where I was, it was a culture that liked to pursue food.
"Pursuit...?
"I kind of... I said it in a way that made me feel impatient...
It's a culture where you enjoy delicious ingredients.
"Heh... I don't know.
The food is delicious, isn't it?
"Ha. What am I saying, too, but it's getting hard to understand.
Well, I love delicious things.
"Really?
And the butler came and informed me that dinner was ready.
"So do you want to go to the dining room?
"Yes."
and Alice and Takeo went for the dining room together.
------------------------
"It's too late.
When Takeo and Alice get to the dining room, Grandpa Elvis tells them off.
"... opening best, how many mouths are you running?
Right on time, isn't it?
Takeo goes in calmly.
"... not a new... takeo devised recipe, huh?
Today, I'm so full of heads!
That's what Grandpa Elvis said, and Smith, who had arrived first, nodded as well.
"... even if you expect so much... it's just home cooking, right?
"Home cooking is new, but court cooking is new.
There is no hassle in Takeo's idea of cooking.
"So far, right? I don't think it all fits your mouth, though?
and the food is carried and placed individually before everyone.
"Then give me a brief explanation.
In the vessel on the left is the 'potato salad'.
It is soothed with various vegetables and mayonnaise by crushing boiled potatoes.
In the vessel to the right is the 'macaroni salad', right?
Vegetables and mayonnaise are soothed in boiled macaroni.
The vessel on the middle left is' tartar sauce '.
Eat on fried food if you like.
And the middle right vessel is the salad dressing.
This is mayonnaise with tomato sauce.
"... can I eat it?
"Go ahead."
Everyone starts eating around Takeo's "throat".
How excited I was...
Grandpa Elvis and Smith are eating indifferently with a full smile.
Alice looks at Takeo and opens her eyes and is amazed when she takes a bite of macaroni salad.
Plus I have other hands and am eating with amazement.
"Did you like it?
All they did was snort silently and snort.
"Looks like you're happy this time.
Takeo smiled and ate.
------------------------
After dinner, Grandpa Elvis, Alice, Smith and Takeo move into the guest room.
Frederick makes tea after the meal, puts it in front of everyone, and falls back a little from everyone.
"And this dinner was excellent.
and Grandpa Elvis says, everyone nods except Takeo.
"Potato salad and macaroni salad, you just change the texture so much with different ingredients to match.
Smith shares his thoughts.
"Tartar sauce was good, too.
It suited the fried food. Sounds like it would go with other frying dishes.
Alice also shares her thoughts.
"It's also good that this Takeo-sama recipe doesn't cost that much.
I think I can get this out frequently.
Frederick shares his thoughts.
"But I used a lot of eggs, so did the cost of the individual product get a little higher?
"Right, slightly, but you're up.
But it's a fine range.
What was the price of eggs at Master Takeo's place?
"Right. What is the price of one here?
"Is it one piece of copper?
"That's expensive! My place is about 10 pieces of copper for 2 pieces.
"That's cheap.
"There was a massive supplier called a chicken farmer who delivered eggs.
There was a massive and stable supply. You were eating so much egg food that it wasn't an exaggeration to say national food.
"Dear Takeo, how massive is it?
Alice asks questions.
"You had at least tens of thousands of chickens.
That was hundreds of farmers.
"... equivalent, you can't do it without the land being huge.
"?... No, I don't think it's that wide...
It was common to install a bird basket in a building without gaps and keep it in that bird basket, right?
Or you had a dedicated cabin to keep thousands of them.
"Is that... is it okay to be sick or something?
"Sometimes you couldn't really prevent it, but you basically managed your hygiene well.
Eggs are nutritious, too, so cheap would have been appreciated.
"Really?
and Alice nods.
"Lord, this is.
"Mm-hmm. Takeo, can we hear a little more about that story?
"Okay.
And Takeo started talking.
