Isekai Ryouridou

It is the seventh day of the green month, the day after the castle town's searches.

The inns that had to be postponed because of the tasting were to be held that day.

The theme of this time was the search for new ingredients, but it was already completed the day before yesterday.

Instead, on this day, the story was consolidated by trying to summarize the new knowledge gained at the review meeting.

The new knowledge gained from the searches is about the practice of downtown castles.The cooks in the castle town were more aggressive than I expected, and they showed me a lot of different ways to make it - but they were too aggressive, and this was the Capa Over.

Therefore, today we will invite a chef from the castle town to take a look at the parts that we did not understand.

At the end of the day, Levi and the others looked very happy.

"I was about to burst out of my head after being told a lot of stories!"Even so, the people in the castle town were kind enough to go to the station town and repeat the explanation! "

"Yeah. It was quite unexpected how many stories you could tell me."Of course, I don't think you've ever said anything about your own special cooking method... but there are so many different steps to take just for the basics. "

I myself was completely unknown about the castle town's revealed downtown manners.This world is overflowing with ingredients that are very similar to my hometown, but because they are only different ingredients, it seems that I have unimaginable characteristics.

Anyway, we decided to finish the day's work with a feeling of excitement.

When the guests were even drawn from the Blue Sky Cafeteria, they cleaned up after themselves and fled to the Tanto's Pavilion of Grace .

This time, it was said to keep the number of people as low as possible, so only three people, Reina-Lou and Toure-Din, were happy at the scene.Ryada = Ru remained as an escort.

Isn't Ai Fa here until the sun goes down after all?

Reina-Lou spoke like that on the way to [Tanto's Pavilion of Grace].

"Yeah. We'll be back after dark anyway."It was always the same on the day of the inn, wasn't it? "

“Yes, and today we don't have Dell Share.”

Reina-Lou frowned there.I wonder if His Highness the Dakarmas' men are among the people of the South who travel around.

"However, the absence of Del Share on such a day... is it because of the castle town's rituals?"

"Hmm, I don't know. Well, if this was a demonstration of the moribund way of doing things, it'd be a long way off."

“Yes, I've been fully aware in the last half month or so of how much he is interested in cooking around the forest.”

At the tasting with Reina-Lou, I had the opportunity to talk to the royal family in a place I didn't see.As a result, Reina-Lou seemed to have decided to take the royal obsession positively.

(Well, if you were as greedy as Reina = Luu, you'd probably appreciate what His Highness Dakarmas has done.)

By the way, the feast on the edge of the forest to welcome the royals is scheduled for two days later.This event is purely for entertaining the royals, so I wanted you to enjoy the cuisine of the forestside.

In this way, you arrive at [Tanto's Pavilion of Grace].

Levi has become the representative of the [Kimusu's Tail Pavilion], so he's staying with us.However, because his father, Lars, had no choice but to carry the stall, Levi called out to Yun-Sudra, who replaced him.

"I'm sorry to hear that, but take care of the stalls."There's still time to spare, so we could go back together-- "

“No, it's not a big deal, so don't worry about it....... Asta and the others, please be careful on the way home. "

"Thank you, and be careful."

With the remaining five people, Yun-Sudra and the others continued south on the street.Seeing off the figure, Levi snorted, "Yun-Sudra is a well-done daughter, isn't she?"

"Even though you're so young, your cooking skills are impeccable."I'm going to make you feel sorry for what you can't do. "

"Ahaha. Weren't you two the same age when you were young?"I think even Levi is a good fit for his age. "

"No, no, I'm not quite there yet."When it comes to ramen, there's a lot of reliance on my dad.We need more encouragement for Milan-Mass, who picked us up like this. "

With that awareness, Levi is burning his desire to do the work of cooking.It was no flattery, and I regarded Levi as a fine man.

"Well then, let's go."...... Milan = Mass will rendezvous later, right? "

"Oh, the people in the castle town decided to take one from the inn."The rest of you will be assembled at the fifth moment. "

"Well then, that's two moments and half of it, so you'll be able to make it easy on me."Let's do our best so that we can have a productive time. ”

When we called inside the front door, a familiar young employee came out with a smile on his face.

"Welcome, the people from the forest side who are joining us today, right?"Totos and the luggage carts will be waiting for you. ”

As usual, these employees are more courteous than other innkeepers.

We entrusted Gilles and the wagon to such a young man, and when we tried to walk through the front door again -Tool-Din shouted, "Ah."

Asta, isn't that a castle car?

Certainly, a box-shaped, splendid Totos car is approaching us from the north.Besides, I could see the cavalry spanning Totos from the front to the back.

"That's a lot of stuff." Are you accompanying the nobility? "

"Oh, by the way, I think he said he'd send someone to see him from the Count Satulas' house."

Normally, Polaris and the like are involved, but today it is not the main meeting of the people around the forest, and it is originally the role of the Count Satulas to supervise the camp town.Polaris is busy serving as an aide to the Foreign Office, so the Satulas must have done their part.

When we somehow missed the timing to move from the spot, the young man who came back from behind retreated into the inn in a great hurry.Then the master's tapas were summoned from the inside.

"Oh, everyone from around the forest was there, too."If you don't mind, could you join us in welcoming your loved ones? ”

"Yeah, that's fine, but... the royals won't be able to come, right?"

“Yes, there will be two stewards from the House of Count Satulas.”

While exchanging such words, the Totos car arrived.

Then, the person who got off by being caught by a white bunch of martial arts officers looks at us and smiles and breaks down.

"What, did Reina-Lou and the others come to greet you?"You're so clever! "

After all, it was Reeheim, the first son of the Satulas, and the martial artist who escorted it was Leylis.

Leighim walked up to Reina-Lou with a smile on her face, and Reilly smiled at me.

"It's my first time... I may not be as busy as you, but I'm glad you're doing well, Asta-sama."

Yeah, you too.

Leighim and Ruidros are invited to the tasting every time, and Reillys accompanies her as an escort.Therefore, only four days had passed since the tasting session at Kamado on the edge of the forest.

“I didn't expect Reheim to be here.You came as a watchman to the inn, didn't you? "

Reina-Lou asked, and Riheim nodded with a smile.

"I was hoping I could say hello to you guys, but I wouldn't give up my role to the others."...... well, if you look at it that way, you'll be bored with a familiar face. "

“It's not like that.The person you know is more at ease. ”

Having said that, Reina-Lou smiled loudly.

Li Heim looked surprised, but immediately shook his head and said, "I see."

"Well, the main characters today are the people in the castle town."Let's learn more and get some good food again sometime? ”

"Of course," said Reina-Lou, enthusiastically, even from my point of view.

Looking down at such a Reina = Lou, Leheim seemed to have somehow managed to retain his impatient expression.

Perhaps-is Leeheim restraining herself so as not to fall in love with Reina-Lou?He publicly states that he only appreciates Reina-Ru as a purely excellent cook, and Reina-Ru is sincerely happy and proud of his words.If he rekindled his love for Reina-Lou, his current relationship might be broken-and he might be so worried.

(Well, I don't really know... but if so, I'd appreciate it.)

Then, as we were exchanging greetings in front of the inn, the last person with a strange body came out of the car.

He wore a hooded cloak like the people of the east, and the lower half of his face was covered with a wrap around collar.It's like a Hermes or a Gemdo who's coming in with pity.

"Master Riheim, thank you for coming with us."... the people around the forest had already gathered? "

"What? What? Timaro, perhaps?"

"Yes, I'm sorry for dressing like this."...... Master, can I borrow a room for you to change into your cooking clothes? "

“Yes, I will guide you.”

At the behest of Tapas, a young employee led Timaro into the inn.

Riheim explained to me with a bitter smile that we were being chubby.

"Seems like he's never been to the station town before."I've been dressed like that, trying to be careful how dusty it is. "

"Oh, I see. By the way, Vulcan's apprentice was dressed like that."

"Fufu. Wherever you are in the castle town, you will return your soul without knowing what's out there."That's what I say, but I rarely step on my own feet. "

However, heirs to the House of Count Satulas will also have many opportunities to travel to their homestead town.That's why it seemed like he was able to get to our stalls for a while.

In any case, we can't have a chat outside the inn forever.Only Leighim, Reillys, and the other martial artist were escorted inside the inn, and the rest of the cavalry seemed to guard the entrance to the inn.

The cafeteria has already been gathered by the inn's officials.And in the center of the scene were surrounded by his master, Jan and Nicolas.

"Oh, the chef of the Dalai Mu house."Speaking of which, you were also the guide today. "

When Riheim spoke cheerfully, Yang bowed down.

"Yes, but I can't do it alone, so it's up to you, Lord Timaro, to join me."

"The Dalai Lama family has long been stopped from distributing ingredients."That's why you get a medal, so it's a big deal.... oh, I don't need any special greetings.It's the same as the tasting, so please do it appropriately. "

The second half is addressed to the masters of the inn.Riheim is a coarse class of aristocrats.Reillys and the others seemed to be holding back their bitter smiles, watching their cousins' behavior.

That's how Platica comes close to us.She naturally offered to take a tour of the party on this day, and it was accepted safely.Last night, I was taken care of by the Count Dahleim family, and it seemed like I had come this far with Jan and the others.

“Good job, Pratica. I'm glad we're allowed to visit today.”

“Yes, I am grateful to the noble people of Genos for their generosity.”

She is often taken care of by Count Dalaym's family, and is practicing in the castle town on days when she is not around the forest.Therefore, although you must have mastered a lot of castle town downtown, you can't ignore these kinds of gatherings.Greed for mastery of cooking techniques was a pratica that no one could beat.

After a while, Timaro arrives who has changed his clothes.She was wearing a white cooking suit, as seen in the castle town, and she didn't even cover her mouth with a cloth.

"Thank you for your patience."It looks like there's still about a quarter of a minute left before the deadline, but how about we take care of it? ”

"If you have all the humans, start."You guys are all here for a big job, aren't you?If you start early, you can go home quickly. "

Riheim seems to be getting even more coarse because there are no higher-ranking people.But we didn't want noble manners, so we didn't have any problems.

Whether all the people in the inn are there or not, it is easy to get a roll call.In the meantime, Yumi came up to me and said, "Hi."

"When I thought who was coming, that Timaro was the guy!"She was a good cook, so I felt a little relieved. "

“Yes, I think Timaro was the deputy chef of the House of Tulane, so he knows how to make a difference.”

Nevertheless, it was unexpected that Timaro would be chosen from among a number of cooks.Timaro, who once served alongside Vulcus as a mediator for the scrutiny club, didn't expect him to go out of his way to the town.

“Lord Riheim, I know all the innkeepers are here.”

"That's why you don't have to report it to me all the time."Just shut up and watch, and you can start as you please. "

That's why we're headed for the inn's chef.

It's a chef who's always cared for on these days, and it's the size of a guesthouse in the station town. To see it from 30 people, we needed this chef.

"Now, I'd like to start with the manipulation of the craftsmanship.Today's guide is Lord Timaro, and I will be your assistant, so please think like that. "

With Jan's greeting, I began to sum up the situation.

Timaro yells "er" as he gently diverts his outpouring from his stomach.

"The other day, at the stocktaking meeting, we agreed to disclose the basic techniques of cooking in the castle town, but there were many parts that we didn't understand in such a short time.First of all, I would like to explain the points that I think need to be supplemented. After that, I would like to answer your doubts. "

That's fine, but if you don't understand something along the way, can I stop talking to you?

Yumi, who did not lose her strength even by visiting the nobility, took the initiative to raise her voice.

"Of course," replied Timaro, opening his eyes in a daze.

"Oh... maybe you're the daughter of [Xi Feng Pavilion]?"

"Ahahah. Who else do you see?"Well, I haven't even dressed up today! "

"... I'm not very impressed that a woman suddenly exposes her skin"

Yumi has the same degree of exposure as the women on the edge of the forest, but this is a town veil that hides some soft skin.

"Well, aside from the horizontal matters, let's start explaining."...... Master Yang, which ingredient should I use to explain it to you? "

"I'm lining up on this table."

The workbench to which Jan pointed was lined up with pots and crates.Timaro draws three pots from among them.

"First of all, it's about meat laying.These are caron meats, each marinated in vinegar, sugar, and honey. ”

"Wow, did you prepare the in-kind?"I'm glad you didn't come just to talk to me. ”

After all, it was Yumi who struck the hammer.Timaro looked back at you with a vague expression and then removed the lid of the pot.

“As well as being a means of preserving salted foods, they also have the potential to add a subtle flavor.By adding more vanilla, you can expect dramatic changes...... but that's a field that cooks should study. "

"Hmmm. But anyway, sugar and honey is a little bit like vinegar."Does it make the meat sour and taste better? "

It would be nice if you could check it with your own tongue.

At the behest of Timaro, Jan and Nicola began to bake three kinds of meat.

In the meantime, Timaro keeps talking.

“Another thing is that when you marinate the meat in these ingredients, the flesh becomes extremely soft.It is said that Karon's foot meat is widely eaten in the station town, so isn't it useful in that aspect? "

“I see. It's the same as Nyatta's sparkling wine.”

It was Nawdis who raised his voice like that.

Timaro glances back at you with a glance.

"The owner of [Southern Daiki Pavilion]."I wonder if your place is using Nyatta's sparkling wine for dinner? ”

"Yes, yes, for I have drawn the blood of the south, and I have heard the use of it.It seems that Caron's milk also has the effect of softening the meat. "

“Yes, but caron milk does not preserve it, and because it has a strong milk flavor, it is often used only in dishes that are suitable for it.Perhaps the most common is Mamaria vinegar, followed by sugar, and in recent years, Panam's nectar has been developed. "

Mamaria's vinegar is probably the most commonly associated with the region of origin.However, even Turan's Mamaria vinegar was not distributed to Loc, so no one knew how to use it until Cycléus lost his legs.

After the cooking, Jan and Nicola turned the plates one after the other.There were three kinds of meat on the plate, one by one.

“On the outside, it's hard to tell what kind of meat was pickled in any of the ingredients.However, I think the difference between the taste and the texture is obvious. ”

With great curiosity, we were to taste the meat.

Since Karon's meat was not much to eat, I was worried about whether I could tell the difference in the subtlety, but for the time being, the difference itself seemed clear.

All three kinds of meat are soft.However, the softness quality was different.

One piece of meat has a kimus-like bite, and there's still a lot of fiber left.The other was a more plump texture, rich in fruits and gravy - and the last meat was a texture that allowed the meat to burst.

“The meat in vinegar has a tight taste, and the softness seems to be fair.Sugar pickles are softer than that and are characterized by more gravy.And Panam's pickled beeswax is not just softening, it's also changing the texture of your teeth.We call this change 'meat fluttering'. ”

I've never heard of such words, and perhaps even if I pickled meat in my hometown, I wouldn't get such an effect.Panham seems to be a mysterious tree in the first place, and it's unknown to me - maybe it contains ingredients that don't exist in my hometown.

"Yeah, they're all totally different!"I mean, it's not that sour or sweet! "

“Yes, pickled vinegar tightens the taste and sugar and honey have a hint of sweetness.It may be difficult for people who are not used to eating it, and it may be a bit understated, but the difference is obvious when compared to eating vegetarian meat, and the difference should be even greater when you finish the dish. ”

I don't know the theory that the taste is tightened when it is soaked in vinegar.I couldn't tell whether it was just something I didn't know or something that existed only in Mamaria vinegar in this world.

Anyway, it's quite an interesting story.Reina = Lu, who seemed to have come to the same thought, whispered to me with her eyes shining.

“What would happen if I marinated Gibbons in those ingredients?I can't wait to give it a try! ”

Timaro then turned his gaze toward us.

"There is more to tell to the people around the forest."If you are marinating gibberish in sugar, please add a small amount of salt. ”

"Salt? Why?"

“It's already been proven that sugar alone doesn't produce any of these benefits.In ancient times, a cook who judged the meat of a kimus by his own hand soaked it in sugar, and there was no change in the texture of the meat. ”

"Is that so?" How much salt do we need? "

“We marinate salted meat in sugar without washing it.I think it would be enough if I covered the meat with salt and then dipped it in sugar. ”

"I understand." Thank you very much. "

On the edge of the forest, I knew that Giba meat was pickled in pico leaves rather than salt, so I guess they annotated it like that.With all my heart, I decided to thank Timaro.

After that, Timaro explains a number of practices.

Some of them were not very helpful to us - that is, they were a good match for caron meat, kimus meat and vanilla, and they were talking about how to prepare dishes using them, but other than that, they were meaningful in themselves.

For example, in the castle town, it is popular to add chatch and grated zozo to Fuwano dough.Zozo is a bitter tea ingredient that we don't use at all.It is said that by adding it together with the chatch, a different and preferred elasticity is created.

Also, if you marinate the eggs of the kimus in sugar water, the sweetness will penetrate into the inside of the shell, so you can use them as ingredients for confectionery. - If you use Fuwano after sun-drying, it will produce a unique fragrance. - If you simmer the oils of tau and retin together, it will be used as a base for condiments. - If you marinate the chamomile similar to a barbecue for only three days, you will tighten up and produce a unique texture. - I have never heard of anything like this.

So I'm finally more convinced.

After all, there are many traits in the ingredients here that I don't know about.

Tau oil is a soy sauce, and retin oil is a similar ingredient to olive oil, but it is unlikely to fuse if the soy sauce and olive oil are simmered together.Perhaps the sweetness will not penetrate even if the chicken eggs are soaked in sugar water for each shell, and the texture will not change even if the barbs are soaked in corn.

On the other hand, I was able to extract starch from a chatch similar to potatoes, and Chaska similar to rice has properties similar to rice from various perspectives.Milk fat could be made in the same way as butter, and whipped cream and so on.

In other words, the ingredients here have both the characteristics I know and those I don't.

Maybe I only knew half the ingredients here.

"And this is a technique that only a small number of cooks in the castle town could understand - Lord Diamond was able to uncover that technique the other day, so I will explain it to you."

Timaro thinly poured Panam's nectar onto the plate.

When Jan received a signal from his gaze, he handed Timaro another small plate.It was equipped with a colorless and transparent liquid.

"This is Shima's juice squeeze."Sima is grated and squeezed with a cloth to extract only the juice.I'm going to add this to the nectar of Panam. "

While explaining so, Timaro poured Sima's squeeze juice into Panam's nectar dish.

Slowly stir it with a small spoon, then leave it for about 5 seconds.

Timaro then turned the inside of the plate towards us - Panam's nectar stuck to the plate and never fell.

"If you add Sima's juice squeeze to Panam's nectar, it will coagulate like this.People who know this technique are using this property to make sweets. ”

Then, Toole-Din pulls the sleeve of my T-shirt piercingly.

"It's true that that technique was used in Siri = Rowe's and Diamond's sweets."I didn't think Sima was being used. ”

"Yeah. I thought you were adding sugar to harden it, but you weren't."

I'm sure that the addition of Daikon squeeze juice to all the nectar in my hometown won't coagulate.This is also a mysterious property that only the ingredients of this land possess.

“That's all I was telling you when I was preparing the supplementary explanation.I'm a little tired from talking, so could you give me a break before I accept your questions? ”

"Good work, Sir Timaro." Now, let's go back to the cafeteria.The attendants and cooks will be escorted to a separate room. ”

And the masters of the inn went toward the cafeteria, speaking hotly.

I'm going to say hello to Timaro and the others, and I'm going to go through the flow.Then, Levi and Yumi, who seemed to have come to the same idea, stayed in the same place.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good work." Thanks to you, I had a very meaningful time. ”

When I sent word like that, Timaro returned his gaze with an angry face.

“We just told you about the castle town ceremonies that are widespread.What's a little unusual is the handling of the last Panham. "

“But it was a rare story for us.Now we may be able to expand the range of dishes. ”

"...... I wonder if Asta and the others have been exposed to your manners twice as much, so I don't think they deserve to be thanked."

“Absolutely,” Levi said.

"We're the ones who get the best from letting Asta and the rest of the castle town take care of us."We don't have anything to show you in return. "

“For a long time, people in the bunker towns were prevented from distributing their ingredients.I'm sure you'll need some help with your hard work. ”

With a gentle smile, Jan said so.

Yumi cheered up and said, "Wow!".

"Ah, but if you're familiar with Sim and Jagal cuisine, can you repay me?"Vulcus, you've been questioning me about Sim cuisine! "

The [Xuanghong Pavilion] and [Ramria's Toroguro Pavilion], right?I was trying to talk to you, but Lord Vulcus was sticking to me, so I couldn't help it. "

As Timaro stepped forward, Yumi looked back at it with a smile.

"If so, why don't you ask me sometime today?"It's just that Vulcus isn't here! "

"But for today's part, I'm going to tell you how to do castle town."We don't have enough time to talk about it. ”

"Hmm? Then why don't you invite those people to the castle town and let them play your part today?"If you can get the labor fee, you won't look like a nail or Granny Jeze! "

In response to Yumi's cheap suggestion, Timaro has a difficult face.

"However, you will need to be accompanied by noble people in order to issue passes to people in the station towns."We can't decide on our own. ”

"In that case, you can ask the nobility to do it."Isn't that the son of Lord Satulas? "

I don't want to slap noble people in the mouth like that.

And when Timaro panicked somewhat, Reeheim brought the tapas closer.

"What are you talking about in such a place?"If you want to talk, just calm down and let's talk about it. "

Ah, no, no, this is very rude--

"There's nothing rude about it."Why don't you guys head over to the cafeteria over there?I'm going to let you do that. "

Tapas said he was going to set up a separate room, but he turned it down.Tapas was smiling with a well-behaved smile, hiding its heart.

"I'm not sure, but the cooks in the castle town and the station town are talking about meaningful things, right?"If so, may I speak to you when time permits?...... and today, the people around the forest are all there, too. "

“Yes, I would be glad to speak to Timaro and Jan”

Reina-Lou responded with a smile.

This will also be one of the blessings of His Highness Dakarmas.Apart from Jan, who had originally attached himself to the [Tanto's Pavilion of Grace], it was unimaginable that Timaro and I could discuss cooking in such a situation a long time ago.

(And it was Leighim and Reilly who saw it.Everyone, including Timaro, shouldn't have been happy with the people around the forest at first... but it will change if they change.)

That made it possible for us to have a meaningful and fulfilling time that day.
