Life in Another World as a Maid Mage
15 The second spring of the tabernacle is near, but far away.
Wangdu's lakeside streets are lined with merchant mansions, as well as boat houses and boarding houses. This street, which faces Lake Shena, which boasts lush water on the right hand side, and the magnificent Striid Castle, which rises on the land link island on the left, is popular due to its stunning views, and it is rumored that if an empty property is located near the outskirts of King's Land, there will be an immediate buyer.
Many of the mansions facing the lake have dedicated rooms for enjoying the view, which are extremely convenient for entertaining guests and covetable for merchants who want to have large customers.
The Yangmei Chamber of Commerce, which was blessed with the opportunity to have a mansion along such favourable conditions, was standing with a very large number of customers. The Rovnell family is famous for its cutting-edge female painters. For a chamber of commerce with the ambition of expanding commerce throughout the kingdom in the footsteps of King's City, it is an unprecedented and fortunate fortune.
It is truly strange that the marriage was made by an Oriental woman who uses soy sauce wholesale by the Chamber of Commerce.
In the mansion's kitchen, Yae, who was guided by the Oriental woman, Shiori, was enthusiastically working with the cooks.
"This is... so novel. It's like combining exotic cuisine."
"It's novel, but it makes sense. It may not be so new as to be a technique.... but"
"At first glance, it looks pretty big, but none of this was going to happen."
Written in eight letters, the book describes a number of dishes proposed by Shiori. Juices, baked goods, and stewed goods range from sweetness to sweetness. The cuisine devised to match Miho's strong seasoning to the mouth of the kingdom made them roar as they walked the continent and ate all kinds of dishes.
"... I don't know, there was a woman. Who the hell are you?
"I don't know. What is it?"
Yae can only laugh bitterly at the searching eyes of Shin-yoshi on the flowerboard. Because everything was hidden about the unimaginable nature of poetry.
"The first story is too hard, isn't it? I just want to bring her home."
"That's what I meant, but there was already a fellow in love. He was a resourceful and skilled man - a fine man enough to leave a woman to him. Those who surrounded her were also good men."
Shin-yoshi glanced at the end of the line, but quickly broke his face.
"Well... thank you again."
Shinkichi didn't say it was a shame. Because many people from the east to the continent, especially women, know how precious it is for a woman to live happily in extreme poverty.
--In an attempt to rejuvenate the inclined raw house cuisine teahouse, Shinkichi, who wanted exotic dishes on the trump card, had a bitter experience of killing Mizuho because of her illness after pushing the opposition around her and leaving with her wife.
The people of Miho, who had been closed for a long time, were too ignorant to live outside the country. They are often treated unhindered by being despised as barbarians in uncharted lands. There are many men who do not pay the price even if they stand up and finally sell large and small because they have trouble living on that day, and who somehow spend their travel expenses and return home. Without such talent, it would be difficult to return even with a weak woman.
--In order to live, we need wisdom first. Wisdom, young and old. Learn carefully.
It was the mantra of Yae's father, who traveled around the exotic world after the country had been opened and understood what was most necessary to survive in the world that was going to undergo remarkable evolution.
Ignorance is sin. However, it is too miserable for the world to hold the people of Miho, who are like babies, responsible for all the sins of that era when they raised their country and sent it to new heavens and earth. Yae is proud of his father, who once was the lord of a country, who decided to protect his needy compatriots in an exotic country. Taking on a part of the job is also your role.
----Sinkichi's wife's illness was not such as to lead to death with only a small amount of knowledge of Kinsu. A cure was established a long time ago, and it was something that would heal if you spent a few days on medicine and nourishment.
The late wife earned money by taking customers (...) as the maid told her at the inn where she was employed as a servant. He was the wife of a reputation as a young woman general with good temperament, but he had no choice but to gain a steadfast position in the same awkward foreign language as a young child and talent as a town wife and daughter.
I was proud to be able to do it in a foreign land with only my arms and temper, and the death of my wife, who let herself sell herself out of hand.
Sinkichi, who was saddened by his ignorance and arrogance, folded the shop where his parents lived after their death and strolled around the area with Yae, whom he met in a wandering place, brushing his arms and encouraging him to study.
"There you go."
The cook, who finished the dishes quickly, placed the plates on the table. Royal mushrooms fried in soy sauce. It is a mix of butter and red wine from the Kingdom, as described in the Yale handwritten guide.
"Oh, this is...."
"It smells pretty good on my stomach."
Yae slices chopsticks and throws them into her mouth one after the other.
Nh!
"Delicious"
This guy's perfect for drinking dishes.
"If the taste gets a little stronger, I'll take it at the port restaurant. They like the strong flavor."
"This is easy and hassle-free. When you're a man in the kingdom, you eat as much as you want."
"Let's think about the writing."
Yae laughed small before they began to calculate the trade. That's a good trend.
"Try this, too."
Put cotton tofu drained in a pot with melted butter - by the tofu artisan in charge of the Chamber of Commerce - and mix the soy sauce and red wine to make it baked. The kitchen is full of aromatic scents, and Shinkichida is looking out at Yae's hands in an unbearable manner. When the plates were finished with yuzu zest and pepper, their throats rang.
"Shiori taught me. It's a steak dish of tofu."
"Is this rough gold tofu...?"
"I don't know if it's close. But it tastes so much better than that."
Whether you like it or not, you won't be able to stand for someone who likes a rich meal. In fact, this dish, which I tried with frozen tofu on my way home, was highly praised by my family.
"Yeah, it's delicious!
Yuzu and pepper smell works.
I admire it. Whether you prefer meat in the kingdom or tofu in Mizuho, Shiori says.
"I see. This is what inspires craftsmen's souls."
Shin-yoshi nodded many times, roaring with only a second mouth.
There must have been something for the cooks, too, and they scattered around the kitchen with the aim of cooking in the guide book. I'm sure we'll be able to cook a new dish in a few days.
"I would like to have a tasting party in the near future, if possible. I'm prepared to reward those who serve one of these."
A cheer rose in Yae's words. Everyone involved in the Chamber of Commerce is invited to a tasting party. Some people are still unfamiliar with foreign life. Such an event is impossible for them.
"When I met you for a tasting, I was hoping for your opinion, but I think you just said that everything was delicious."
Shin-yoshi's words boiled down.
"Even at the lower end of the meal, I'm delighted to eat the kaiseki meal at the luxury kiosk, so I'm glad I'm going to miss the party."
The words overflowed the cooks, but the preference for elephant nosuke seeped.
Thanks to that man, the deal never came together again and again. Apparently, that unyielding attitude of Elephant Nosuke solves the stubborn vigilance of exotic customers.
Originally, it would be easy to fake the surface because of secrecy, but Shinkichi knows that it is from the heart when it comes to food. "If you're a chef, you can tell if your face is flattering or authentic when you eat" is Shinkichi's valve.
"... Elephant Naosuke?"
When I was a daughter, it wasn't long before I picked up Nosuke elephants. The man who said that his first awkward cooking was delicious had an unyielding smile over his head. Young samurai with puppy-like faces nostalgic for Yae-sama and Yae-sama, once they met, they looked like Oni gods - both faces liked Yae-sama. There was certainly a time when I had a cruel affair with that man.
But now the love you have with Elephant Nosuke is nothing but love. Comrades who fought numerous "hard enemies" together. Subordinate, a comrade who transcends the boundaries of men and women.
The comrade will soon have a lovely wife and daughter.
But what about myself?
(--Spring is still ahead.....)
Somehow, a man's statue overlapped the image of Elephant Nosuke painted behind her brain, mouthing her wife's cooking happily. A man who spoke without hesitation of the rare Oriental confectionery he brought in. The man's sharp glance, like a sparkling white blade, which he said with a delicious and full-fledged smile.
(... that looks a lot like him, that man)
Balt Rovnell. There was an air that resembled the elephant Nosuke.
--Why did you remember that man at this moment?
Yae's reason still comes to mind.
