Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

Two days after they revealed their origins and revealed Alec and Zach's identity. It was only two days since then, but after revealing the truth of my hometown, which had been inside for a long time, my heart became much lighter. They recognized the part that touches the very foundation of the human being. I was so glad that only two people - no, two and one - recognized their roots.

Siori, who greeted today with a slightly floating feeling unlike two days ago, dropped off the women who had finished cleaning up after lunch and invited guests into the dining room in the Tris branch, where they rented out all the rest of the afternoon.

The self-proclaimed Rowens (Annelier and Dennis), who visited the Tris branch with some disturbing expressions, relieved to see Ciori's bright expression. Annelier, lightly hugging Theoli, who lowered her eyebrows and buttocks, said, "If you're fine, that's fine."

Yae, who looked a little more uncomfortable than the other day, brought in a lot of souvenirs saying that it was an apology as promised.

"Wow, are you sure you want all of this...?"

In the wooden box wrapped in the chamber of commerce's crested bath, there were plenty of Mizuho's national foods, including aromatic miso, sesame oil, deep sweet black sugar, freshly scented powdered wild anemones and yuzu pepper, moist sea salt made by boiling seawater, and the reputation of Seven Tasty Chillies in the original town of Monzen, as well as high-quality kelp and dried noodles in northern Mizuho and frozen tofu. I wonder if this crate can still be used as a gift.

"Please take it. Some of them were better loaded onto the ship than I thought they would sell, and some of them were better than we could consume. I'm sure my brothers would rather use the ingredients than leave it."

A little relieved by that, Theori received it for each crate that was meant for storage.

"... thank you for your precious stuff. I will cherish it."

"Oh, I'm so sorry... and that's right. It's the soy sauce you're using."

"Oh, yes?

"I made sure I could buy it for the right price from now on. Besides, buying a barrel won't keep you fresh. I plan to sell the bottle in small pieces."

My usual Mizuho soy sauce was bought at the casserole, an imported food store in Tris. According to the store owner, it was not possible to sell subdivisions, and it was possible to purchase them in barrels.

"That shopkeeper. I thought it would be easier to sell in barrels than to pick them up in a bottle. Besides, it seems that I have sold it to you at a much higher price."

It seems that the exchange with the shop owner made it clear that there are Oriental people who want to subscribe to soy sauce. At that time, Yae didn't bother her compatriots and asked her to sell them in vials as she wished.

However, the store owner said he would definitely buy Shiori even if he raised the price a little. Eventually, the customer said he wanted to buy barrels and refused to sell them in small pieces. He ordered them in barrels and sold them to Ciori for nearly three times the price.

"Say, triple!? Even so, I thought it was expensive..."

I thought it would be helpful if the quantity was imported from a country where there was no national transportation, and if it was received from King's Landing, but I didn't think that the value was raised to that point.

"I was deceived because people seemed so nice...."

A cheerful tropical shopkeeper appeared behind my head. "Help each other immigrants! They were supposed to give me a discount by saying good things, but in the first place it was a significantly higher price. If I gave him a discount, he wouldn't have felt painful or itchy. I've already bought it several times, so I must have made some money there.

"... I'll follow you to the store next time. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

"Alec...."

He thanked Yae again while forgiving Louis, who smiled and whose eyes were not laughing at all, for inadvertently blackmailing the shopkeeper. She smiles bitterly as if she were a little evil.

"No, I'm sorry. I thought I would have to inspect the wholesale destination one day, but I was dropping off because of the distance from King's Landing. I can't believe they're selling at such an extraordinary price....."

If it is not sold at a fair price, it will not only damage the impression of the product, but also affect the credibility of the Chamber of Commerce. As a precaution, she said, it would be better to increase the number of visits to other wholesale destinations than casseroles.

"In particular, demand for soy sauce may increase from now on. Now that we're looking to expand our sales channels, we have to avoid a worsening of our impressions."

"Eh, the demand for soy sauce is increasing...?

It was a soy sauce-based Oriental cuisine that was in increasing demand for portable food and camping food, but how much more would it be in a situation where there were almost no customers other than Shiori?

You must have felt the suspicion, and Dennis added it from the side.

"Actually, I served soy sauce at my family's New Year's party, but this is more popular than I expected. There were a lot of people who wanted to use it, so I decided to buy it regularly in bulk at the Rovnell house."

I'm sure it's quite a lot if you buy a real subscription at the Rovnell house, which has many branches and umbrella houses. If the famous chef of the famous Earl family in Japan is a regular user, it may spread from the territory to the whole Kingdom. The Rovnells are so influential.

"Wow... it's starting to feel kind of magnificent..."

The conversation grew considerably from the camping dishes I did to my client.

"Well, that's why we're talking to merchants from the East."

"Yeah, that's right. So I talked to Theoli and I wanted to see her."

I don't know how people connect to each other. However, Shiori thinks it is fun to gradually increase the number of acquaintances.

--So I finished a little longer greeting and started cooking for Yae. I thought I would teach Mizuho cooks, but unexpectedly, the "students" were yellow. She was an executive at the Yang Mei Chamber of Commerce, but she often stood in the kitchen when she had time.

"I hadn't thought about grabbing a knife myself in the past, but it was so much fun to try."

Apparently she was a former princess. She said so and smiled relentlessly.

Annelier began sketching the guided landscape by removing the painting material from her luggage, and Alec bought a shounosuke discussant who was accompanying her as a caution stick. Clement and Nadia, who said they were free here, joined in, starting with Eastern swordsmanship theory, and frequently exchanged opinions on difficult agenda items such as management activity theory and political theory. Nadia brewed them a cup of tea.

Of course, Dennis had teamed up beside Shiori and Yae and enthusiastically wrote down the contents of the cooking guide in his notebook. Louis trembled and enjoyed himself as he walked between them.

"I brought some recipes for the Oriental Kingdom cuisine made with soy sauce and miso. The soy sauce was just a popular menu for colleagues, so maybe people from other parts of the kingdom will be okay. But I've barely served miso other than Alec, so let's think about it while everyone tastes it."

"I see. Miso was highly regarded as a rotten bean... but I was still able to accept that soy sauce has little resistance in coastal areas where fish soy is used."

"Ah... fermented foods really divide me into likes and dislikes. I love cheese and butter, but my grandparents hated soap or candles."

Fermented foods have strong regional uniqueness. That is why for people who have eaten and raised food from childhood in the area, it can be said that the food made by the body - a part of themselves. Theori thinks it's sad to be denied with a strong word.

"I don't know how you feel about strongly rejecting something that doesn't suit you because it's in your mouth... but it's hard to be denied personality and culture."

"That's right...."

"... at all."

Dennis, who draws the blood of the Oriental Yae and the Empire, and Theoli. The three people with intercultural connections looked at each other and laughed bitterly from nobody.

"Now... let's get started. Let's start with dishes made with soy sauce. After all, I think it would be best to use it in combination with butter and wine. There are a lot of people who are a little resistant if they stay the same."

"Oh, the soy sauce with the butter and wine was highly praised at the dinner. The chef seemed to have mixed a lot of other things, but just mixing the three was a great taste."

"How did you use that soy sauce?

Alpha bison steak.

"Hmm... is it lean meat?"

Yae seemed interested.

Then Shiori removed the thin slices of lean meat from the ingredients brought in and baked them with light salt and pepper. Transfer the baked meat to a plate and quickly simmer the red wine and soy sauce in a fatty frying pan, then drop butter onto the finish to add aroma and shine.

Alec and the others were cheering on the scent of scorched soy sauce floating in the dining room. I'm sure you can't stand this smell. Theoli continued his explanation, hoping that they would try it later.

"About as much soy sauce as three red wines and about one butter. Then try adjusting the amount as you like."

Sprinkle the baked lean meat with a fresh soy sauce sauce and serve to the yam with a fork. She took the fork with her familiar hands and tasted it first with a small amount of soy sauce. Then carry the meat to your mouth.

"Mm, this is... I see. Don't feel anything close to the bottom."

Yae chewed and swallowed several times and roared small.

"I'm used to eating exotic food, but many of my brothers don't like the smell of vanilla and butter. But this is easy to eat. Should I say I'm getting closer to the flavor I'm used to eating... I see, I can't imagine combining Japanese and exotic seasonings."

In other words, if you turn the back, the misho seasoning that is habitual will also suit the mouth of the kingdom by mixing with the kingdom's seasoning.

"If it's a light overnight seafood dish, you can simply combine soy sauce and butter with white wine. For example, Meniel or steamed alcohol."

Fish cuisine in the neighborhood is dominated by tris salmon. Gently shake salt and pepper and flour onto fillet tris salmon, add fruit oil and cook in a hot frying pan. Drop the butter on top, melt it, spin the soy sauce and wrap it quickly around the fillet.

"Butter and soy sauce are easy to burn, so the last trick is to put them in. If you're going to scorch it, take out the fish before you put in the soy sauce, and then make the sauce with the remaining fat and soy sauce and spin it around to make less mistakes."

White wine was used to steam the shellfish, and soy sauce and butter were added to the finish.

I think Yae liked both.

"At first I thought about spreading soy sauce in the kingdom, but this might make butter acceptable in Mizuho."

Many people still live modestly in Mizuho before the founding of the country, but the wealthy have also increased the number of people adopting exotic dishes and condiments. However, it seems that it is difficult for cooks with little preliminary knowledge to incorporate unfamiliar exotic recipes into Mizuho cuisine as it is, and it seems that research is still in progress.

"I wish my older brother had brought back butter before, but the cook seemed to think it was a rare tofu... it got into trouble when I put it in the juice"

They cut all the lumps into pieces and put them in a pot, and what was supposed to be miso soup became a horrible milky fat juice. Of course, the juice of the giraffe was not eaten with fat, and it seems that it was quite difficult to wash the pan with solidified and sticky fat.

"Ugh... that's..."

But it should be delicious as long as the quantity is not wrong. Because it goes perfectly with miso and butter.

Oh, miso butter.

"Yes, if you drop a little on the miso soup, it will give off flavor and richness. It is recommended to use root vegetables and meat from the soup. But because miso soup has a strong aroma of dashi and miso, some people in the Kingdom may not agree with it."

In the original world, there seemed to have been an increase in overseas miso users due to the healthy Japanese food boom, but the seasonings are still unknown in this world. Many people may find it unsuitable for more than soy sauce.

Make a potato miso soup made with handmade dried potato stock and drop a spoon of butter. The rich aroma of miso and butter drifted softly.

"It would be delicious if you put some in a miso-based pot dish."

"I see... well, it's certainly not so bad as long as it has a hidden taste. Delicious."

Yae nodded with his mouth twice or three times, but it seemed a little tough on Dennis.

"Ugh... fish or beans... I'm worried about the strange fermentation smell."

Acting as a taste to Alec and the others laughing at the table, we clearly divided our tastes. After living together, Alec, who was used to eating Oriental cuisine, drank the buttered miso soup. However, Clement and Nadia shared the same sentiments as Dennis, and Annelier and Shonoske seemed to like it unexpectedly, saying that the distinctive flavors of miso and butter were not bad for each.

"That's why people choose dishes that push the miso forward, so it might be better to use it with a hidden flavor. Personally, I like to use it for dressings and dip sauces... but if you're a kingdom man, maybe you should use it to taste potage and stew."

In a clear soup, the cloudiness is noticeable when you add miso, but you won't be very concerned about opaque soups like potage.

I made potato and pumpkin potatoes in my favorite short and short dish, and I usually used salt instead of miso to season them. The miso used is a smooth, sweet white miso just received from Yae.

"Oh... delicious. It doesn't smell like beans just now. And there's depth in the taste."

Dennis, who had a scary mouth, also pressed his thrill this time.

"Hmm... I miss the exotic cuisine. With the familiar seasonings, it fits my tongue."

Yae grunts that his fellow countrymen living in different places seem to be happy.

"If you add a little yuzu and pepper to the soup and stew, the flavor will be tightened and delicious."

"Oh, I see. Is it like putting seven peppers in a miso soup? It's funny."

Next to Yae, who repeated the tasting by putting yuzu pepper on his plate, Dennis, who tried the same thing, kept silent for a while and then wrote in his notebook, "... I'll add it to the trading list."

"Yuzu pepper is also delicious to eat on a skewer grill. It goes well with simple roasted chicken and beef."

Well, it suits the beef, too. I used it to cook yakitori and bird meat, but Mizuho didn't have that much habit of eating beef, so I noticed. "

Oh, that's right.

"Hmm. I've started growing beef cattle, but there are still a lot of people who value them as service cattle. Farmers and traders often show resistance to eating precious cattle. I also tasted the meat of the third cow that was occasionally served.

The third bull seems to be an Oriental beast. Thirdly, the meat of the third cow, which is difficult to slaughter, is close to frozen meat and seems to be extremely delicious and valued by the wealthy. It is said that it has high nutritional value and was previously eaten as a nutritious medicine.

"Citrus is a precious commodity in the kingdom, so will yuzu and pepper please the wealthy? It's refreshing, so I think women can take it."

"I see, would you dare to sell it as something precious? Let's think about it."

Dennis exhales a long sigh while silently writing Shiori's valve in her notebook while tasting beside Yae who begins prototyping under Shiori's guidance.

"But... as I thought before, don't be surprised by the amount of Shiori's knowledge. Knowledge of cooking and ingredients is like a war cook traveling the world."

"War cook."

After receiving a title that seemed very strong from the famous Rovnell family's current fiancé, Shiori lowered her eyebrows and buttocks in an unspeakable mood.

"I guess so. Not many people are familiar with cooking in different countries. It's not just the kingdom and the Oriental cuisine that you see. There are also imperial and tropical styles. On the contrary, my colleague from Ciori said that we also cook western continental cuisine."

"Hmm... that's..."

Siori hesitated for a moment and smiled again.

"Because my country was so focused on food, cooking research flourished, and there were many restaurants in various countries. That's why I'm not special."

Japanese, Chinese, Italian, French -.

Anyone familiar with cooking in that country could cook in at least three or four countries, and Dennis remembered to round his grass eyes.

"Ha... no, somehow... I wouldn't say I was born in paradise."

"Um... um... maybe it was a food paradise. I wonder if it was also a paradise of popular culture."

Dennis, who had been silent for some time with a stunned and stunned face, eventually shrugged his shoulders with a bitter smile.

"- Well, one day I'd like you to tell me more about the paradise."

I was wondering if you'd let me know. Siori nodded with a small smile after turning her eyes for a moment.

"... yeah. I can't talk right now, but when I get my feelings sorted out... I want you to listen to me."

Of course I'm not going to reveal it to everyone, and I don't think I need to. But Dennis was the one who recognized himself. He is a friend who said he can be trusted even if he doesn't know what he is. Someday, I want people close to me to know.

Alec and I looked at each other.

--The purple blue eyes staring at me were as gentle as usual.
