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

Takeo and Alice, Erica and Cassandra are in the same room.

Victor, Arlis and Baynon, Meyer and Alston and Blair were in the same room.

The Takeo and Erica groups had rented a room for two, and the Victor and Meyer groups had rented a room for four.

Takeo and Alice in the two-person room were listening to Pana and Konoha's story today at tee time before they went to bed.

"Dear Takeo, what do you think of the Konoha story?

We'll do it.

"Takeo, if you want to have dinner, you just have to try.

"I can't help it.

Alice was dissatisfied and Konoha and Pana said, "You have no choice."

"Well, you can't just let the spirits.

We'll have to ask Alice, Erica and Cassandra to cooperate there.

"Really... well, if you can eat good food, I'll do my best..."

I agree to reluctantly cooperate with Konoha because Alice will not be defended by Takeo.

"By the way, Konoha, I've never slept around, but what is it?

Takeo asks Konoha.

"Simply put, you take the skin outside.

This is hard.

I have to do it in a wooden mortar for rice.

"Konoha, is it different from wheat?

That one uses a mortar, too, right?

"Mm-hmm... what can I say...

I don't have to worry too much about how to remove the skin because the wheat is intended to be flour.

We just want to remove the grain called rice from the skin, leaving the grain in its shape.

So there has to be a gap that feels good for one grain up and down, and it has to weigh some weight.

And, well, it's a cereal that uses nerves for processing until you eat it unexpectedly.

But rice is definitely more energy than wheat of the same weight.

I feel good in my stomach, and it's a good grain.

Konoha says.

"... I also asked the Bertes that rice is not the staple food...

Plus, they say it's enough ingredients to grind rice like wheat, powder it, add water, and dough it.

"Mm-hmm... that's kinda weird.

I know it's boiling.

It's one of the cereals, so it's not surprising if you want to simmer with other beans or something.

But I'm only going to grind it. I think I'd like to know a little bit about it.

Konoha says as he thinks.

"... no, wait..."

Takeo whines as he thinks.

"Hmm?"

Konoha turns to Takeo.

"What do you think if the wheat was first?

"Before rice?

Konoha tilts her neck.

"Then don't you powder it like wheat?

Alice says.

"I can't say anything.

But the idea of turning wheat into flour probably comes from an extension of the processing method of crushing other cereals into bread or something.

But I think cooking rice is an extension of simmering.

"So are the beans and soybeans...

Japanese like to cook, don't they?

Did you try to soften the hard grain?

"Right.

Perhaps so.

There may also be some difference between farmed or hunted settlements.

There must be a lot of farmed settlements in areas where rice is made.

"Farming... you can do the cooking method of keeping stiff grain simmering on a melting fire while you farm, considering people settle.

Conversely, the hunting type does have to cook the animal meat quickly, which seems to rot quickly, and when it becomes an easy cooking method to burn and bake at once and leave it powdered so that wheat and cereals can be cooked at once to go with it.

Yeah, you can imagine how a settlement would treat grains differently depending on what kind of life they live.

"Right.

Alice snorts, too.

"Then the elves became routinely powdered and obtained rice.

Powdered like wheat doesn't swell like bread, and you can only do about as much as dough with water.

Then you'll pour the wheat aside.

You treat me like a rye on Elvis territory.

Takeo nods.

"I see, that's a spare staple.

Alice nods.

"Do you even rejoice when you sell it that you were smoking in a collection like Smith Boy?

"Right.

The Count Elvis family (of which) seemed to have helped a lot, and it would be nice to have even secured a new place to sell, wouldn't it?

Dear Takeo, can you sell rice too?

"Mm-hmm. Konoha, is there anything you don't realize about cooking?

"I think it could be.

Because wheat is easier to flour.

When you don't have to worry about it like rice, you can't deny that grinding is all you have in mind.

And then there 'll be simmering potatoes and stuff, but... if I simmer rice and potatoes together... it's going to be sticky.

"You don't want to imagine.

Probably doesn't know that.

"Right. Maybe you should think so.

Spread it to the Elf Country, too?

"... I know you didn't have to tell me, but it's the only place you produce it.

I am somewhat anxious about the supply system when it will only be produced here in the future if I may stop making it.

"Right.

You want to secure a constant on a regular basis.

Konoha nods.

"Hmm... Konoha, do you have a wooden mole?

"I do.

See? "

"Yeah, you want to see the structure.

"Oh, Takeo, do I bother you?

"Molars are commonly moved automatically by water wheels and windmills, because now, thanks to the machine, semi-automatic is possible.

If you can use this, you have no hands to not use.

Besides, I can't imagine how to do it even if they show me the actual product on the same day.

"Oh, I see.

Then show Takeo the wooden mortar before he goes to bed.

That's what Konoha said, but he got a wooden mortar out of nowhere.
