Inari wants to live in peace
Episode 10 Nagayama Village Autumn Festival (1) Cook
It was decided to hold an autumn festival altogether.
Besides, I'm not on the executive committee, but I'm the final decision maker.As a result, I get framed for frequently going down into the world.
I will naturally attend the festival.
In that case, it is implicit understanding that even if you serve a tasty meal, you will eat it with a smile, but I am worried that my expression muscle, whose tongue is fattening in the future gastronomy, can endure it.
In conclusion, I decided to help with the fall festival as part of my diet improvement, and on that day alone, I decided to make a delicious meal.
The meeting was held at the Inari branch, and as a matter of course, the villages around them were well represented.
"Inari, is it true that you eat for free?"
"It's true. Please think of it as a reward for all the hard work you've done to protect my teachings over the past year."
"" Hahaha!! Thank you, I know happiness!!! ""
In the first place, I couldn't use up my offering, so I just gave it back.
The material was constructed by the local residents, and even if you provide it, it will not hurt your stomach, and I am not the one to process it.
But whatever the reason, it doesn't matter if you can drink and eat for free.
Besides, it was convenient for me to get over the fall festival day with a horse, so I decided to try my best to recreate the cooking of the future.
Mr. Matsudaira sent me soy sauce extracted from fish, but it seems that mass production is difficult.
But I'll use it for the next fall festival, so please make as many as you can.I will serve the finished dishes, so I put in an additional order.
Because it is a big event once a year, I want you to take a good look at it.
But I want something made from soybeans early on.Will it become soy sauce by steaming and squeezing?
It is easy to predict that artisanal ingenuity is in the details that I can not think of with only obscure knowledge.
So maybe if you do as well as the fish, soy sauce will become soy.
Matsudaira-san's assistant has hired a craftsman to start making a new soy sauce, so there should be some results soon.
At first, I thought I had only developed the village at the foot, but when I realized it, I clearly extended my hand too far to the surrounding area and to the entire Three Rivers.
However, I want to avoid danger to Inari God (fake) as much as possible.
So I haven't been working from one to ten lately, but I'll just give you the first prototype and throw a round.
If you fail, it's because you don't have enough trial and error or effort.If I had some experience, I would have succeeded, and in the dirty way of gut theory, I would have reopened it if it wasn't bad.
Well, since there was no time until the fall festival, it was impossible to make very elaborate things from now on.
In the Sengoku era, where the ingredients and seasonings are scarce, my cooking skills are also a treasure.The sad result is that most street food is unreproducible.
But in fact, I can cook, wash, and clean, but it's not as popular in all respects, so it's not as big as a little chest.
(Still, I think a Sengoku-era cook can compete well.)
Many cooking processes that are commonplace in the future have not yet been carried out in the Sengoku period.
Maybe, but I'm probably the best cook in the country.
With that in mind, in front of the Kamado at the village chief's house, the rice balls without seaweed are placed on a new wire net in turn, and carefully coated with soy sauce extracted from the fish with a special tool that is questionable whether it is a hake or a brush.
Rice is an annual bonus, so farmers have a special opportunity to eat it.
But this time, the offering to me was released at the fall festival.
It's a luxury that only happens once a year, so sometimes you can act big.
During the Sengoku period, life continued to be so painful that it was said to be a living hell, so if you don't resolve your dissatisfaction somewhere, you will be thrown into trouble.
Inari, what is this?
"It's a grilled rice ball. Apply soy sauce with a hake and bake both sides carefully to complete it."
Because it is not extracted from soybeans, the taste is subtly different from the soy sauce of the future, and it is a very precious product in this era.
Therefore, it cannot be applied plenty, and the colour is slightly light.
Still, when I asked for a tasting of the rice balls, it was very popular that I had never eaten such a delicious food before.
Then, for the first time, I learned that there was a way to steam and cook rice other than by immersing it in water.
Apparently, in the Sengoku period, steaming was more mainstream.
Well, since rice is taken as an annual bonus, it is rarely eaten in the village at the foot.
Normally, it is rice made entirely of grain.
But the old couple I met for the first time in this era served me rice porridge.
Besides, rice is also sent as a gift, so I cherish Inari God.That kind of feeling is conveyed with a tingling.
So I decided to make a pancake as another way of eating wheat in return for what I usually do.
There is no need for a particularly unusual cooking process, but in addition to wheat, it is also mixed with flies and Awa to prevent nutritional bias.
A woodworker in the village built a water wheel hut, making it easy to crush the grain with the inner stone moulds and make powder.
However, some of the grains were not powdered, and some of the prototypes remained.However, you can enjoy the texture with this.
In addition, cultivation begins this year, and a small amount of yam is also mixed with whether the soil is lean without stretching straight, creating a feeling of frying pancakes.
By obtaining such a variety of processes, the grain pancakes are baked plump on the wire net.
I wonder if there was air in it or if it swolle, and something broke along the way came out. The shape is not a round circle, but it is sneezing, but it does not change to a pancake.
I wanted to use the precious soy sauce elsewhere, so it is salty this time.
"Inari God! This light texture is a habit!"
"The crisp texture is the hallmark of the pancakes.The Autumn Festival is only salty, but I want to increase other flavors in the future. "
I feel like it was during the Sengoku Period.
However, I felt that it was the most important reason why I took the time to cook a delicate meal, which was not widespread in the village at the foot where I used to live in poverty.
The taste was secondary when hunger was lowered, not only in this village, but also in the sad tide of Japan during the Sengoku period.
(But I realized that it would be delicious if I actually took the trouble.
In times of peace, pancakes will also spread.)
Because it is a tasting party that sees residents' reactions before the fall festival, we cannot run out of ingredients.
So divide the grilled rice balls and pancakes into bite sizes so that they reach as many people as possible.
Next, mix the cooked rice and rice, rub and crush to the extent that the texture remains, and transfer to the cutting board to make a round-shaped bamboo skewer.
Next is the honey we just picked this year.They also make sauces that combine miso and sesame seeds.
(Actually, I'd like a mirin.I didn't get it)
By the way, it should be normal in the future to use sugar instead of honey.
However, even if you insist on something that is not there, there is no choice, so I will finish it with something that tastes like it.
Nevertheless, the wire mesh is very active.
"Gohei Mochi. It's not enough, but even if it's unfinished, it'll be better."
"Oops, now! Incomplete!?"
I nodded with cockroach, and when I received the Godaira mochi sliced into bite-size pieces, the sweet and spicy taste spreads gently into my mouth.
Because I use fermented foods such as fish soy sauce, the smell is hard, but I am patient.
Natto was lined up at the other table in the first place, and the family made homemade miso.Compared to the rich cheese smell of sushi that I bought as a souvenir, there is nothing wrong with this.
Besides, Mr. Matsudaira said that the method of preserving food during the Sengoku period was fermentation, so I thought it was a major food.
By the way, I don't know why it is Gohei Mochi, but I don't dare to tell the good thing that there is no pursuit.
Anyway, it was very popular, so if the result was good, it was all Yoshi.
