A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 209: What Kind of Alcohol? Will you sleep again today?
"I wonder if there's any good way to cook rye.
... or I could afford a little more if my income was likely to increase... "
Grandpa Elvis looks difficult and troubled.
"By the way, I'd like to hear it.
"What.
"Although there was a distilled wine for sale.
"Is that brandy?
"Yeah, other than wine and brandy, what about alcohol?
"There are two of them apart... but even apples can do brandy.
"... what else?
"No, but... Takeo... what did you come up with?
"No, I could have distilled liquor from rye and barley, too.
"" Huh?
Grandpa Elvis and Frederick harden up again.
"I say whiskey... don't you know?
"No, I don't.
"I don't know either.
You two don't seem to know each other.
"... but if you have brandy, sooner or later someone's going to make it..."
"So, Takeo, how do you make it?
"Huh? Are you going to make it?... erm... sure...
1. Dry germinated wheat and make malt
2. Mill the malt and mix with warm water to trout.
3. Filter this and make the wheat juice.
4. Ferment the yeast in the wheat juice for about 3 days.
5. Distill the object after fermentation.
6. Place the distilled product in a baked barrel and store it carefully for a long period of time.
Right. "
"What is yeast?
"Sure... it should have been the same thing you put in when the bread swells..."
"... is it East?
Frederick asks as he thinks.
"I guess...
Why don't you contact the winery?
I might be making it somewhere.
"What kind of booze will it be?
"I don't think it's much different from brandy.
I like smells and flavors and...
You like whiskey because I used to drink good whiskey.
"Well... maybe as a processed rye?
"Yes.
If that whiskey could be sold, it would be revenue for northern towns and villages, wouldn't it?
It's well worth a try, and if you can divert existing equipment, you're going to have a prototype in a few years.
In the meantime, I'll have a civilian in the northern town confirm.
"Um, the first thing you need to do is find out.
Frederick snorted at Grandpa Elvis.
By the way... Alice still adores Mia.
Mia, on the other hand... was grumpy.
------------------------
Everyone left the guest room today with Grandpa Elvis' words, "Now go to sleep," and Takeo and Alice were also back in the bedroom.
Takeo prepared for the bath and was graffiti in the study because Alice and Mia are in now.
Overview of how to make and drink whiskey just now
Furthermore, Alan's explanation and impression of the nobility of the kingdom of Azpur last night, about King Jen.
I'll write something else that comes to mind.
The bedroom side door is knocked and Alice and Mia come in.
"Dear Takeo, I'm up.
"Lord, I'm back ~"
"Yes, we're both back.
Miss Alice, do you want to dry your hair?
"Yes."
Everyone moves to the bedroom.
Takeo sits Alice down and dries her hair gently.
"Dear Takeo, what do you do with Mia's bed or something?
"Right... what do you want Mia to do?
"I can sleep anywhere.
Mia doesn't seem to mind.
"Miss Alice, do you sell dollhouses here?
Takeo thinks of a dollhouse for girls put out by some toy maker.
"Mm-hmm... because your sisters had... don't they?
Takeo gets a little hooked on Alice's answer, but decides to go through.
"Shall we go buy it tomorrow?
Mia should sleep in my study for today.
"Okay, Lord.
"Huh? Aren't you sleeping with me?
"... people, but fairies, but private spaces are important.
You'd get tired with me from the start, wouldn't you?
You also need to be boisterous.
Takeo smiled, but also thought in his mind, "We need to prevent Mia from dying of crushing."
"Really..."
Alice says a little lonely... Takeo puts his face close to Alice's ear like that...
"Do we also show Mia what we did at night?
In no time Alice makes her face red.
"Ah!... no!?... not..."
Alice awakes.
"Lord, what did you say? Although Master Alice is in a hurry.
"Hmm? Do you care?
"Yes."
"That's it."
"You don't have to explain it!!!
Alice hastily intervenes in a conversation between Takeo and Mia, blocking Takeo's mouth with her hands... with her hands on her nose as well.
"Nah... it's nothing, huh? Mia."
Alice looks after Mia.
... my breath...
Takeo gets jittery trying to turn his face to the side, but Alice doesn't loosen her powers...
... push Alice's hand back as hard as she can.
"... pu... ha... I couldn't breathe.
Miss Alice, it's good to block your mouth, but it's dangerous to block it to your nose.
"... because Master Takeo says something extra.
Alice protests with her jitsy eyes.
"It would be kind of you to tell me if they wanted to know, wouldn't it?
"... it depends on the content.
"It's a fairy, isn't it? Don't you know that?
"Still don't have to say, do you?
"... well, be careful next time.
"I hope you understand.
Alice nods like a ho.
Takeo said in his heart, "Next time... right?" He murmured.
"Well, your hair dried lightly, too.
I'm going to take a bath.
"Yes, you're welcome to come.
"Mia, shall we go to the study and make a bed?
"Yes, Lord.
Good night, Master Alice.
"Good night, Mia.
Takeo and Mia left the bedroom.
