Legend

Sandrine, who brought the bread fabric, gives it to Rodrigo.

"Yes, Father. This."

"Oh, thank you. So, Mr. Ray. Wrap this meat filling in bread dough and all you have to do is steam...... is that okay?

Ray nods to Rodrigo, who asks to confirm.

"Oh. I just don't know a bit about steaming time or anything, so just adjust it that way."

When Ray was in Japan, he used to buy meatballs that he sold at the supermarket.

But it's obviously not the same thing as lightly hanging water on its meat and then using a microwave and actually steaming it in a steamer like this.

In the first place, the meatballs we sell in the supermarket are just warming up what we can eat even as it is.

"Um, right. So why don't you tweak things around there? Now, hurry up..."

"No."

"Huh?"

Place the meat filling in the rectangular stretched bread dough and lay waste to Rodrigo, who tried to wrap it to fold.

"Uh, sure..."

Ray reaches out, remembering the way he did when wrapping meat, which he saw on the cooking show.

"Thus, if you put a meat filling in the middle of the dough, make sure to wrap it up and wrap it up above...... uh, that doesn't work"

"Uh, here's the thing?

I guess I understood the general point in Ray's explanation. Rodrigo wraps the meat filling in the bread dough and finishes it in a shape that Ray knows.

There are things like cooks who open their shops on the front street that can be firmly shaped just by listening to the explanation.

"Yes, yes. That's pretty much what I know about meat."

Rodrigo's hand completes the fleshy shape that Ray is also familiar with.

Just because Ray doesn't know the most, some meat fillings are placed in a rounded dough and folded in a semi-circle...

"Hey, Mr. Ray. Does this form mean anything to you? It takes a lot of work to put it in this shape, and not in a way that looks like the bread your father just did?

Coming out of Sandrine's mouth was also a natural question.

There are a lot of customers coming to this store, so I'm pretty sure it shouldn't take as long as I can.

"What do you think? All I know is this shape, so I think maybe this shape means something too. I want you to try everything around here. It could also affect steaming and subtraction."

Rodrigo nods back to Ray, who answers Sandrine's question.

In fact, it is an unmistakable fact that steaming and subtraction and the resulting texture change depending on the shape.

In addition, there is no doubt that more research needs to be done than depending on the adjustment of the bread dough and the utensils that can be found in the meat filling.

"Okay. There seems to be a lot to try, above all."

I was Rodrigo, who seemed weak, but I guess if it were also my job, my willingness would be different.

Or maybe it's purely because my hobby and work have come together.

"Anyway, let's do it. I don't know exactly what I'm going to do until I make sure of it."

Rodrigo, who tells him so, quickly wraps the meat filling in the bread dough and puts it in the steamer.

The steamer itself is not so different from what Ray knows.

It's a cooking method called steaming, so I guess nature and its shape will be similar.

(If you use the kind of magic item, it's not strange to be in a completely different shape... fortunately, unfortunately, the steamer in this store is the type close to steam cages or something like that)

While steaming up like that, Sandrine won't forget to collect information.

Rodrigo was still gazing at the steamer and staring at the steamer wondering when it would steam up.

"Hey, Mr. Ray. He said meatballs are basic dishes in steamed bread, but what else do you have?

"Right, right. As far as I know, the utensils in the meat are different... and I think there were other things like steaming the cheese in the dough."

That's what Ray tells me when he was on Earth, remembering the steamed bread his mother was buying from the supermarket and eating.

"Cheese?... I see. That sounds a little delicious."

"Well, I think we should decide what kind of food to cook in this store. Personally, I think it's good to be meaty."

"... Hey, Mr. Ray"

Two, I open my mouth looking at Ray like Sandrine was wondering something.

"Yeah? What's up?

"Mr. Ray steamed bread... no, the only thing you know about this dish called meatballs is on top of your knowledge, right?

"Oh, yeah, but?

"But when I hear what you're saying, I feel like I've eaten before."

……

To the sudden words, Ray shuts up.

Since I started making meatballs...... no, considering what I've said and done since I was explaining meatballs, it wasn't impossible for Sandrine to think so either.

(Were you a little too restrained in the meat?

I guess there were things like Sandrine being sharper than Ray expected, but Ray also had to admit that there was still a detour to what he said and did.

"It's..."

I told him that much, but I don't know what to say from there.

In fact, if you say you've actually eaten this dish before, you'll be asked where you ate it and why you hid it.

Of course it's not a hard story to mislead.

Because Ray has traveled to various places in Seto, and before he came to Gilm again, he lived as a sorcerer's apprentice.

But still, Ray wanted to avoid saying anything here that would be detracting and deluding.

"Sandrine, there's nothing about this meaty dish... and steamed bread is good for any dish."

It was Rodrigo staring at the steamer who reached out for help against Ray, who was stuck in words.

"Father."

"Mr. Ray is greatly helped in this case. Given that, it doesn't matter if this dish was actually made somewhere.... No, Ningro, if it's actually eaten, it means it's accepted"

Rodrigo's words were an unmistakable fact.

If meat meat meat is actually eaten, that means meat meat meat meat is received.

"But..."

"Sandrine, Mr. Ray is an adventurer. It's also a high-ranking adventurer with an alias. You know there's a lot of things that people can and can't say, right?

It was Rodrigo who told him softly, but of a high-ranking adventurer like Ray to be exact... and it was honest that I wanted him to go deep into circumstances that people couldn't tell me and give me a break to get into some trouble

But that's not a funny story.

If you're a confident adventurer and a mercenary in your arms, Rodrigo is only a cook.

It was natural to assume that I didn't want to be involved in that if I could.

Not to mention having a daughter or wife named Sandrine.

You guessed that, or you simply thought it was dangerous to ask any more, and Sandrine gives up asking Ray anything more.

(No, I'm not talking that dangerous)

Of course Ray's secret... I couldn't tell you about Japan, but it's not a secret like killing him if he asks.

That was also a pleasure for Ray if he would still recieve his own words that slipped his mouth.

Silence fills the kitchen for a little while.

It was still Rodrigo who broke such silence.

"Done. … maybe steaming time is fine"

Tell him so, take the steamer off the fire and put it in front of the Rays.

And the moment I took the lid off, the hot air overflowed the kitchen.

(Since the meat filling is in the dough, it hardly smells.... I smell a little sweet when it's meaty or something)

And when the hot air clears, you get a good look at what's going on in the steamer.

"Is that it?"

That's what I put into words, Ray.

I guess it was in that whine because it seemed unexpected. Sandrine opens her mouth with a bad feeling.

"What's wrong, Mr. Ray? Something wrong?

"Uh... you want to flatten something?

As Ray said, I wanted to flatten it so much that I could see it compared to when I put it in the steamer.

Even less, Ray doesn't want to flatten the meatballs he knows like this.

I questioned that, Ray, but Rodrigo shook his neck sideways saying it was no problem.

"This is the first cooking, so I can't help but fail a little. Ning Ro, I'm glad I just wanted to flatten it a little. This is probably what happened because the bread dough I used was usually the same as when I baked it."

"In other words?"

To his daughter's words, Rodrigo smiles and opens his mouth.

"If you change the formula of bread dough and try it, you'll soon be able to make the dough you deserve for the itinerary of steaming"

"Dad, it sounds easy, but isn't it pretty hard?

"It's okay, because I'm good at working with this hand. And I need your mother to help me."

Ray is just a little surprised to hear her mother help.

Rodrigo and Sandrine were the only two people on this scene, so I was wondering if their mother might not be with them anymore due to some circumstances.

Though I kept my mouth shut because I thought it would be troublesome.

"Well, let's have a taste"

Ray, who's got a meatball that Ray wants to flatten out more than he knows, breaks it in two.

Then the smell of meat filling with oak meat drifts around.

It has an appetite-stimulating aroma, and I could have predicted that it would definitely taste good given the flavour.

Originally Rodrigo is a good cook.

So, there's no way you can't eat it because it tastes bad unless you do something extra.

As attracted by the smell, Ray clings to the flesh.

The first thing that spreads is heat...... then the taste of the mixture of oak meat and various vegetables, and finally the soft sweetness of the bread dough mixes it in your mouth so that it envelops it......

"Hmm."

When Rodrigo swallows the meat that was in his mouth, he roars dissatisfied.

Sandrine was also tilting her neck to be a little uncomfortable.

"Subtle."

And Ray honestly mouths his taste thoughts.

... Yes, it was honest that the flavor was subtle.

The meat filling is subtly thin in flavor and has a blurry, slightly watery flavor with moisture coming out of the vegetables.

The bread dough is never more unpleasant, but it still feels uncomfortable somewhere.

Softness is also missing one now compared to the fleshy texture Ray knows, and is bossy.

The utensils are more watery and the bread fabric is bossy, like that.

Overall, Ray was right about the subtlety of his mouth.

It never tastes bad, but it tastes like you can't honestly nod if you still want to eat it.

"Um, right. But I think it's a pretty good idea to make it the first time, right? After that, how do we make this more complete?"

Did Rodrigo see his future in the fleshy flavor, he grins and tells him so.

"Really?... well."

Eat with one or two bites, Ray leans his neck.

But that's what the real cook says, so I decided it definitely would be.

If Ray is the only one, this meatloaf...... no, I'm not sure I can taste any better than the food I deserve to describe as meatloaf.

I guess it's the word because I'm confident in my arms as a cook.

"Yeah. It's not that tasty at the moment, but it makes me feel futuristic. Besides, I can't imagine how to cook steamed bread until now, and I'm looking forward to finishing it like this."

It was a very unsuccessful dish for Ray, but it seemed different for Rodrigo.

You okay? That was Ray gazing at Sandrine with that in mind, but Sandrine nodding back that she was okay with the gaze.

"Honestly, it's true that it's not tasty as it is, but if your father says he can do it, I'm sure he can do something about it. I'm usually weak and indecisive, but believe me when it comes to cooking, it's okay."

"Sandrine... that's a little..."

Was it praised or denigrated?

As a father, you must have thought it was demeaning.

With a slightly pitiful look, Rodrigo speaks to his daughter.

"What are you talking about? Look, let's first figure out how to finish this dish."

Ray, who was watching a close parent-child exchange, opens his mouth.

"Hey, you meaty... can I try feeding Seto?

I was told there was nothing particularly wrong with that word, and Ray would try to feed Seto a meatloaf... but what a subtle squeal he was going to hear.
