A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 163: Day 11: A debrief after dinner. (Strength of shortcakes. )
Confectionery and tea go to everyone in the room.
"Well, here's to the point today... are you all hungry?
Takeo asks once and for all.
"Is there a problem?
"Look at this, you're blowing my happiness earlier.
"I'm looking forward to this.
Grandpa Elvis, King Azpar and William answer.
The Elvis family 3 sisters and brothers don't even try to watch and speak up.
"Er... Mr. Leila? Miss Alice? Miss Smith?
What's... what's up?
"Dear Takeo... Explain it quickly!
Alice tells me to stare.
Takeo smiled bitterly, "Shall we burn??," he whines in his heart.
"Yes, sir. So, that's an explanation.
As I explained before dinner, this is an authentic whipped cream made from raw cream.
The raw cream is foamed and creamed and sweetened with sugar.
I made shortcake dressing today.
"Back off... is it?
Leila asks.
"Yes, I personally wanted to use fresh strawberries, but this time I tried dried strawberries.
So it's backwards.
By the way.
"Is something wrong?
King Azpar asks.
"I've just had it with all the butlers and maids in the kitchen before dinner.
That was a full laugh, as usual.
Hey, Mr. Frederick.
"Yeah. Except the sweet guy was crying.
"Um, that's not the usual sight.
Grandpa Elvis, Alice and Smith laugh damned.
"Okay, I'm done explaining, so go ahead.
I'll start eating around the "dust" this time.
I was going to poke everyone's surprise... and Takeo looks at everyone like that with his eyes narrowed.
Grandpa Elvis and Smith, to King Azpearl. William is eating indifferently with a full smile.
Layla and Alice look at Takeo when they take a bite and are surprised to see if their eyes are still this.
"Did you like it?
All they did was snort silently and snort.
"Gentlemen... you look good every time.
and Takeo smiles.
Finish your meal in no time.
"Happy..."
King Azpearl says with a grudge.
Everyone enjoys the aftermath even if they don't say what they think.
Takeo watched as he nicked such a sight.
"What do you look like already?
You look like you're going to swing.
Say that.
"It's the only way. Mr. Takeo's sweets tasted like nothing in the world.
William says.
"Yeah, I've never eaten before...
If you put that cream in your mouth, it will swing and spread even more sweetness in your mouth... it's good ~. "
That's what Leila said,
"And it also suited your chiffon cake.
I heard the cream was also fuzzy, but it does feel like fuzzy when I put it in my mouth.
Alice also shared her thoughts.
"Dark tea suited you, too.
After the sweetness. That tea saps through my mouth, and it's good that the sweetness doesn't linger in my mouth.
Smith seems to be very popular.
"Um, it was well received by everyone.
Thank you, Takeo.
"No. I'm just the originator. In fact, it was the cooks who faithfully reproduced my cooking methods. Work them.
"Um, I'll tell you later.
And yet again, you fed everyone in the mansion?
"Yeah, every time, right?
"Hmm? Takeo said he even fed the mansion servants, but every time?
"Yes, Mr. Alan.
When I make them, I make them all for everyone to eat delicious food out of gratitude to everyone.
Well, compared to Mr. Elvis, Miss Alice, and Smith Boy, it's less in terms of quantity.
Takeo says with a bitter smile.
"Thanks to Takeo-sama's cooking here these days, our servants are getting more satisfied with their work.
Frederick says it off.
"Um, that's not a good thing.
Are you not dissatisfied?
"You don't listen.
Master Takeo and Miss Alice are becoming the most popular cleaners.
... the veterans want to be.
"... why?
When Alice said, "I don't know?" He asks.
"No, you're saying 'thank you Takeo for feeding me delicious food'.
The second most popular continues with Dear Smith and the third most popular with the Lord.
"Um... I'm not convinced.
"By the way, before Takeo arrived, he was most popular. Dear Smith, second most popular. Lady Alice, third most popular.
"That's funny.
King Azpar laughs couscous.
"I'm increasingly unconvinced.
Grandpa Elvis says a little confused.
"If you do get all this delicious stuff out there, Mr. Takeo's reputation will grow.
William says with a nod.
"Really... shall I make a treat that I can carry for a butler or maid?
"" "" "" "Huh!?
"Huh? What is it?
Takeo is surprised that everyone is surprised.
"... Count Elvis... is this what Takeo does every time?
"Yes, I say abruptly.
"Mr. Takeo, are you all satisfied? What's more?
Leila asks.
"No, because I make it abruptly every time, so I'm kind of sorry.
Then I was wondering if you could carry with you even a small treat that you could carry, and if you would enjoy it and do your job if you could take it during a small pause.
Alice and Smith are sighing and listening.
"By the way, what do you make?
William asks.
"Erm... candy exists, right?
"Yes, I do. It's out in the public.
Alice says.
"Do you know what a caramel is?
"Cara... Mel?... um... you don't know.
Sister Leila, have you heard of it?
"No, you've never even heard of Wang Du.
What is it?
"Boil sugar, milk and honey, that's soft candy.
"I don't know that either.
"It dissolves in your mouth faster than candy, making it ideal for replenishing sugar when tired.
Just... hey... "
Takeo laughs a little bitterly.
"Hmm? What's going on?
Grandpa Elvis asks.
"I mean, it's hard to cook... it's a physical battle.
"Oh, is that so hard?
King Azpar asks.
"... for an hour... after the bell rings, you need to keep mixing it up so it doesn't burn until about 1/3 of the next bell rings...
That's the only hard part - do you want to make it before you go to bed today?
That way, can you tell before the kitchen gets busy... or can you talk about the stuff itself in the morning?
"" "" "" "Huh?
Takeo bothers me a lot.
"No, Master Takeo, will you do it today?
Alice asks.
"... you want to try it, don't you?
"That's... yes..."
Alice looks in trouble while also showing the emotions she wants to eat.
"Well, I'll talk to the chef later.
"Um, yeah.
