A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 355: Secret conversation with the League of Lady (Operation Steamed Tea Bowl 1. )
Inside are Takeo and the Chef, the 1st Prince family, Amy and Leila.
"I got in!
Lorna says happily.
"Chef, isn't that mushroom harmful to your health?
Celina asks the chef.
"Yes, there isn't.
As I explained earlier, the royals were eaten on their wedding day, and we were bound to serve them once a week until before the territorial transfer.
"Yes... I didn't know.
... before the territorial change? Are you even letting Leila and the others out now?
"Yes, at 1 week.
"I didn't know."
Layla laughs bitterly.
"It only works for men, right?
"Yes."
"... Rhona, I'm in the war, too.
"Is that it? Celina good? Didn't the three of us hate it?
"It's a good opportunity.
"Yes, okay. Long time no see."
Lorna and Selina nod.
"Ah..."
Amy leaks a sigh as she looks at the two of them.
"Oh? Amy, what's going on?
Ask Amy as Layla smiles bitterly.
"No... I was wondering if the 1st Crown Princess would talk about this.
"Hehe, it's something in the family.
It's just not something we talk about externally.
But look, there's a decision from yesterday's Lady Petit meeting.
We want another one.
Lorna smiles bitterly.
"Sister Leila, what did the Queens decide?
"Hmm? I've decided to put a new side chamber in the first and second princes.
See, this time, Pat played dumb, didn't he?
So, Mr. Takeo didn't let me finish, but Pat did something that wasn't strange when he took his life.
That's why I tried to run for the throne after Pat.
So, neither the 2nd Crown Prince family nor our 3rd Crown Prince family have boys.
I decided to put a young side room in the 1st and 2nd princes.
"... that's a pretty serious decision.
Alice is surprised.
"Alice, Mr. Takeo, as I said earlier when I introduced myself, I'm sorry about the mayhem that started with this pat.
From us, we can only compensate with money.
Because I managed to twist it.
Celina apologizes again.
"No! Because I'm fine!
Alice awakes.
"Yes, as I said earlier, I hope nothing similar happens in the future, and I want to respect Wang Du's judgment on this matter.
Takeo normally returns it.
"I'm so sorry.
Selina smiles bitterly.
"So, Mr. Takeo. What do you make for me?
Leila says pleasantly.
"Steamed tea bowls, huh?
I'm getting ready downstairs now.
Although Takeo rose for dinner this evening.
"What's steaming a tea bowl?
Leila asks.
"Laila, sister, it's the dinner version of the pudding.
"I can't imagine at all..."
When I hear Alice explain, Leila and the others worry, "Hmm..."
"Dear Takeo, please explain.
"Yes, sir.
The pudding is steamed by mixing the eggs, milk and sugar, while the tea bowl steaming is steamed by adding the eggs, stock and ingredients.
Takeo briefly explains.
"You're similar when they say it.
Chef, is there such a dish?
Selina asks.
"There is no such dish when you look at recipes from Wang Du's past. I was also surprised to hear earlier.
Pudding was shocking, too, and I didn't know I could use that cooking method to make dinner versions.
Hey, it was such a shock that years of drilling would be wasted in the last few days!
The chef says with a laugh.
"Has Alice ever eaten?
Lorna asks.
"Yes, Sister Leila. Master Takeo made it for me.
It was delicious.
"Were you steaming two types of soup and a tea bowl in a prototype of stock then?
Three different kinds of stock were delicious: small fish, shrimp and shiitake.
Alice and Takeo say pleasantly.
"... Alice is a shrimp?
Leila surprises me.
"Mr. Layla, I know the matter, and it's been resolved.
"Yes... okay.
Leila is convinced.
"Hmm? Is Master Alice no good with shrimp?
Amy asks.
"No, this was the first time I had it in the meantime, it was delicious ♪
I was hoping that Master Takeo would make the same thing today.
Alice tells Amy as she nicks.
Leila looked at the situation.
"Mr. Takeo, as steaming that tea bowl.
You're sending it out to everyone, right?
Selina asks.
"Yes. I'm thinking about putting it out to the royal family, but what have you done?
"No... is it possible to use that mushroom only for the men?
"It's possible. I wondered if I could change the color of the vessel, steam the tea bowl made of dried shiitake for the women, and serve the men something made with mushrooms of energy.
Chef, what do you think?
"It's possible. As Lord Kitamizato said, we will provide different coloured vessels to prevent any differences.
"Celina, what's wrong?
Wouldn't it work if we ate it?
Lorna asks Selina.
"No, if it doesn't work, I think it's better to concentrate on only the men who work.
"Well... that's true.
Chef, please.
"Yes, I'm in awe.
The chef snorted.
"Lord Kitamizato, do you use all mushroom stock for steaming tea bowls?
"Yeah, let's make two kinds this time.
One is steamed in a tea bowl with dried shiitake stock for the women, and one is steamed in a tea bowl with vigorous mushroom stock for the men.
The kitchen is also large, so make it separate to prevent mixing.
"Right.
Takeo and the head chef nod and confirm.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me leave first and return to the kitchen.
Takeo tells everyone.
"Yes! Please have dinner, Mr. Takeo!
I saw Leila say with pleasure that Takeo and the head chef were leaving.
