Let's Manage The Tower

(16) Completion of plum drizzle

The examiner, who took home the plum fruit securely, went straight to the management kitchen.

Floria and Silvia, who watched Mitsuki, who seldom cooked meals for the examiner, arrive in silence, looking at each other at the same time.

The fact that things are a little rare at the management level means that you can see it by looking at Kaiseki and Mitsuki.

Incidentally, Kouchi was working in the workshop to maintain the maid golem at this time, so he didn't realize what happened.

In the meantime, Kaiseki, who entered the kitchen, took out the plum fruit that had just been harvested and prepared a container and salt for further soaking the plum.

Speaking of what you're making, of course it's plum dried.

I know that there are several kinds of kaiseki, even if it is plum dried in one mouth, but this time it is simply salted.

Rather, I don't really remember how to make other plum drizzles.

For this reason, it was decided to simply salt it first.

It's a rough way to put it, but if you make it with salt alone, you won't fail unless you say so - that's what you think.

Anyway, wash the plum dried plums one after the other.

I took a good amount and couldn't wash it off at once.

Naturally, Mitsuki was also helping along the way.

After washing the water, the assistant wiped the water with the procedure that was slightly remembered.

And Kaiseki, who finished washing half of the plums that he had taken, said with a face like the one he remembered here.

"Ah, shit. Container!"

Kaiseki forgot about the container for soaking.

I don't usually cook, so I sometimes forget the basics.

It was Mitsuki who followed me first.

Mitsuki, who was expecting to prepare so much food and not eat all of it suddenly, was thinking about the container properly.

That said, I wasn't going anywhere to pick it up, but I was checking to see if there was anything suitable in the item box.

"--Master Kaosuke, what is this?

That's what Mitsuki took out was a container for keeping jam and so on.

"Hmm, if it weighs... well, okay."

The container provided by Mitsuki seemed to have a small mouth to put in the weight, but for the time being, it was decided to adopt it as a quick item.

And while I was putting in the plum fruit, I remembered, but I came up with the idea of putting water in the bag and replacing it with heavy weight, so there was no problem.

Floria talked to me as the examiner finished all the work and took a breath of satisfaction.

"So? What the hell is this? No, I know it's food somehow."

"Mm-hmm. We'll see about that later. Well, I don't know if it's going to work."

I see. Then we'll be looking forward to it. "

When the examiner laughed and said so, Floria replied lightly.

It is also clear from previous experience that food is actually eaten faster than being explained in the mouth.

It has been about a week since I first soaked plum dried in such a dish.

The first time the plums were soaked in the sun, and the nostalgic smell came out for Kaiseki.

At least in the appearance of satisfactory results, Kaiseki nodded satisfactorily and hurried to the storage container.

Then, Kaiseki, who left the last one and finished all the plum dripping, took the remaining plum and quickly threw it into his mouth.

"Nh ~ ~ ~ ~...!!?

Kaiseki, who felt the unique sourness of plum dried plum dried with his tongue, unexpectedly shrunk.

"Kowske...!?

Floria and Sylvia, who were looking at it beside them, looked a little surprised, but Kaiseki continued to say whatever it was.

"It's sour! But it's delicious! Well done for the first time. I'm looking forward to it in a few months."

Considering the above, the examiner smiled a little.

Floria, who was watching the reaction, asked the examiner while tilting her neck.

"Is it sour? What is this?

"Well, that's right.... ah, I don't mind eating it, but it's something that clearly distinguishes between likes and dislikes, so you don't have to eat it so hard. Maybe you should eat a little first."

Quickly, Mitsuki and Sylvia were trying to reach out to the container, and Kaiseki stuck a nail like that.

Unlike what I've been teaching you, I fully understand that plum dried is a highly habitual food.

Sylvia, who had been advised by the examiner and still chose to taste it properly, initially put a small amount in his mouth, as he was told.

Sylvia's reaction to eating plum dried seemed, however modestly, to be a messenger.

"----This is certainly a strong habit."

After a while, Sylvia nodded.

However, the face has a favorable color.

In addition, Floria, who was watching Silvia's condition, similarly put plum drizzle in her mouth.

Speaking of reactions,

"... what is this..."

And the face was easy to understand.

Looking at that face, I realized that Florian's mouth didn't agree with the exam.

"Well, even people who don't like it in their hometown don't like food. I don't think I'm going to have to eat it. I made it because I like it."

"That's true. I think my preferences can be divided."

Sylvia cleared the seeds and put the rest of the plum fruit into her mouth.

By the time I finished eating one, I had become accustomed to the unique flavor of plum dried, and Sylvia accepted it flatly.

In contrast, Florian seemed completely unconscious, and after eating a bite, she gave up on the study aid.

I didn't mean to force you to eat it, so I received it honestly and ate it.

Originally, I knew that I didn't eat two or three at once, but I made an excuse in my heart that it would be so good because I haven't eaten it for a long time.

This is how the plum dried plum is made, but it will be served at the management table every time.

However, as expected by the examiner, preferences were clearly divided, and those who did not take a bite no longer tried to take a bite.

Incidentally, after this, the plum dried plum seeds were soaked by some hands, leading to a difference in taste, which made it a happy situation for Kaiseki.
