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

"Huh... tannic tea would suit you.

Alice is drinking tea with Shinka in one hand.

"I see.

If you add or subtract this salt, it would be an unexpected addition to tea.

Director Kitamachi nods. "I was wondering if we'd try it out, though? Start thinking."

"Tea sourcing is sweet or pickled.

Alice, what did the lady like?

"Mm-hmm... is this it?

Which one is Master Takeo?

Alice points to the salting of radishes.

"Cucumber salt is the dilution, right?

"It is certainly good that the texture leaves a regular cucumber's but slightly salty.

I like to be soaked with cabbage citrus.

I like the shaky feel.

"I see."

Director Nishimachi will take note of the individual opinions.

"And does just soaking it in salt change the taste of this?

Strange.

You'll want to try it in our town.

"Come on, don't make the same thing as ours, okay?

Director Nishimachi says with a bitter smile.

"You can try different kinds, right?

Besides, not only the crops that the town makes, but also the climate will vary depending on your preference for salting and flavoring.

Kitamachi has a slight hand in making the flavor spicy if the temperature is low.

"Is it hard?

"Yes. Do you know the tortoise? It's red, thin and spicy.

"Yes, I know.

"If you soak that with salt instead of citrus, you can do spicy things.

"I see. Then why don't we make some spicy salt in our house?

Director Kitamachi nods.

"Is both Kitamachi and Nishimachi salted?

Alice worries.

"The pickle-only specialty festival looks interesting too," Takeo thinks.

"What do other towns feel like?

"I was wondering if South Town was a new breed of pasta and East Town was a riverfish.

"Ho, you've already made up your mind.

Director Kitamachi admires the words of Director Nishimachi.

"No, no, I guess North Town wasn't the only one thinking about it, was it?

"I'm pretty sure I was thinking about serving Walt whiskey.

What is a new kind of pasta?

Director Kitamachi asks Alice without even knowing Nishimachi's scratch.

"Does Master Takeo understand?

Alice waves to Takeo.

"Mm-hmm... Normally, did you use ingredients that are not wheat, or did you refine the vegetables..."

"" "Conditioning vegetables?

3 people surprised.

"Hmm? What's up?

"No, are you going to work this in?

Director Nishimachi brings a salted cucumber to ask questions.

"What about cucumbers?

If I think about it, the difference in taste caused by carrots, pumpkins, and dark leafy vegetables with colorful pasta and vegetables... hmm? Refined or flavored?

Takeo suddenly shuts up.

"Master Takeo?

"Hey... you've come up with something.

Well, shall we think about this after all?

"" I care!

Two directors ask.

"No... I thought I'd work out some eggs.

Takeo said so, "Surely my grandfather used to call ramen noodles egg noodles, right? Does that mean when you refine an egg, it becomes a ramen noodle? Think."

"Dear Takeo, is pasta made of flour and water, salt and eggs?

"Really?

Um... I wonder if it's not?... is udon easier?

"" "Udon?

"Yeah, well, it feels similar to pasta... but only noodles made from a mixture of wheat, water and salt.

"" "Mm-hmm...?

Three people bother.

"Well, I'll think about the egg noodles and udon when I get back to Elvis Mansion.

"By the way, Dear Kitamizato, how do you eat that noodle?

"Right... basically after you boil the noodles, you want to eat them on a soup with dark flavors.

But can you do the same with pasta?

"You have tomato soup pasta or something, right?

"Yes, Master Alice.

"I see, then you have no problem with the soup system.

Then... do you want to bake?

"" "Bake?

"Yeah, I got the uster sauce at His Highness Cliff's, and I have cabbage, carrots, and meat.

... Yeah, sounds like you could do it.

"Ta... Dear Takeo, does it taste like you failed when making pasta?

Alice asks terribly.

"Does that mean it's burnt?

"Ha... yes!

"You're not.

It's either vegetable stir-fry.

"Dear Kitamizato, That's salty.

Director Kitamachi says.

"That's where we use a new breed of sauce called Uster Sauce, found at His Highness Cliff's.

"" New breed of sauce??

Two directors twist their heads.

"I can't imagine what it's like.

Alice twists her head too.

"Would you like to prototype it when you get home?

Yeah, well, this Wuster sauce is going to be mass-produced in the city where the Count Elvis mansion is located in the near future, so stay tuned.

"" Huh.

"Hehe, hope so.

You get more recipes for cooking, don't you?

And, out of the question, South Town made some new kind of pasta, didn't it?

"Thanks to the idea of Master Kitamizato, the new breed of pasta in South Town may be sumptuous..."

"No, for the time being, I would make a new breed of pasta... probably not.

"Is it probably?

"You're just not thinking about it right now.

I'm trying not to make it until the specialty festival for once.

Oh, but do you also miss only opening 4 stores?

"Sure.

Alice nods.

"Then I'll join the war."

"" Please stop!

Two directors go to stop Takeo.

"... yeah? It sounds like fun..."

"If Master Kitamizato joins the war, they will all go there!

"I don't think that's necessarily true... so what's the point in deciding on the main ingredients I'm going to use when I'm in the war with the directors?

Alice said to Takeo's suggestion, "Dear Takeo, you want to join us. ♪ I can't believe it. ♪

"Mm-hmm... is anything good?

Director Kitamachi asks.

"If you can, you want me to use it for sale at the green fruit shop.

"I don't specify that many weird things... how about potatoes or something?

"Ho, that's definitely universal.

So let's just say if you're a potato cook, you can join the fight?

"Is that it? Don't you have to tell the other directors?

"Yeah. Later... I'll probably tell everyone in that seat because there's a Bureau meeting early in the New Year.

Besides, we do offer one item for ranking... but we don't just sell pickles, we sell bread, so there should be a quantity.

"I see... shall I fight only with potato dishes?

Don't you want to accompany bread or pasta... oh, because I don't compete in ranking one item.

"Are you sure?

"Yeah, because I just want to open up a lot of stores.

I won't join the ranks because I want to keep them busy.

Surely the event was about spring, wasn't it?

"Yes. In general, I think it's scheduled for spring.

And then there's the announcement in the realm and the location of the store from the city where the Count Elvis residence is located?

"Really... will you let me know if you decide on that area in the future, too?

"Yes, but don't you know by the flow that the report goes to the Count beforehand?

"If you say so, you are.

Hehe, will I work hard to make it, too?

Takeo is motivated.

"Hehe, oh, yeah.

If you both have a specialty and can't think together, you can come and talk to me.

"I'll talk to you then.

"Yeah, we have to make it a fun festival.

Takeo and the others made a joke.
