After the meeting at the R&D department, it will be free time. It's not even lunch yet, but there's no more work I have to do today or where I have to show my face. The Holy King's Army and Gizma raids will not be around for long, and there is plenty of room for food production and stockpiling of munitions.

Mass production of something and now more manpower, and even in the sense of giving jobs to more manpower, it would be better for the PLA to make it by hand, except for what I have to make.

That's why I'm going to be a free man for a while. It seems like I will take time to develop new items in crafts that have been a waste lately, and to grasp and master my own abilities.

"That's why I want to make miso and soy sauce."

"Misoto Soy Sauce"

"I have no idea what it's like from the name."

After a meeting with Da Nang, Silfi, who joined me, and Lord Leonard, who was attached to Silfi for my escort, I headed to a warehouse stockpiling food. To repair beans that are likely to become ingredients.

"I wish there were soy-like beans."

"What kind of beans are daisy beans?

"The beans in the sheath are spherical in size about the tip of the pinky finger. I don't eat much as it is. Things that are not ripe are delicious when cooked in salt. Basically, I think it was often used after it was boiled and processed into various forms."

"Hmm, I think oily beans are close to that."

Yes, it must be oil beans.

"This fortress should also be grown for oil. They should be stockpiled because they are good for preservation and can't be eaten if boiled."

When we arrived at the food warehouse, we received a bag of 10 kg of oil beans from the warehouse warden, as well as a large quantity of salt and 3 kg of wheat and barley before ground into powder.

"Is that all the ingredients?

"Boil it, crush it, mix it, ferment it."

If you make it first, it will be miso. Koji is the neck, but it should be handled with a craft that is unique to craftsmanship. Compared to turning gizzard meat into beef, it would be enough to skip the fermentation process with koji bacteria. I'm sure it is.

"The question is, which craft can you build?"

It won't be a blacksmith's facility. Improved workbenches are definitely not the same, but they are. What's suspicious is the cooking table and the mixing table.

Check the craft menu by placing all the ingredients in the inventory and arranging the cooking and dispensing tables.

Kinako - Material: soybean × 2

Soybean milk - Material: soybean × 2 water × 2

Soy milk and mushrooms appeared on the craft menu of the cooking station. Even if there were only mushrooms, there would be no mochi... I think we could make tofu by making and processing soy milk. In the meantime, I'll try making soy milk with mushrooms.

"What is this?

"Mushrooms and soy milk. I think it was a powder that was fried and ground with beans, and a juice that was boiled, crushed, squeezed and filtered. It's nutritious."

"... this powder smells good. It seems like it can be used for various things."

"My soy milk smells a little blue. It seems healthy."

Silfi and Sir Leonard reach out quickly to Kinako and Soy Milk. I have no hesitation, you guys.

"Kinako was often used for sweets. Crushed, kneaded, and softened cakes of grain were eaten with soybean flour mixed with sugar, or with honey in a cake with soybean flour. Soy milk was consumed as a healthy drink. It's nutritious. However, there are a lot of soy milk processed foods."

But there is no miso. What about the mixing table? I looked at it, but there was nothing like it here either.

"Hmm... there must be some ingredients, but I can't make them."

Does that mean the workbench is not responding? No matter how much I imagine, it won't be added to the item creation. In that case, it must be necessary to create a dedicated craft table.

Fermentation, maturation equipment... barrels for brewing? If I can make alcohol at the concierge, I think I can go at the concierge.

Okay, barrels. Barrels for brewing with item creations. Come out of the barrel! Taru.

Brewing Barrel - Material: Wood x 10

"Ok!

"Well, what's the matter?

"No, we're going to be able to make a workbench that could be used for brewing."

"Is it brewing? Can you make liquor?

"Maybe you can."

"Grapes and wheat!

Sir Leonard dashed into the food warehouse right there. How much wine and beer do you want, old man?

"Can you make honey wine?

Maybe we can make it.

I'll get the nectar.

Sylphie also dashed to the food warehouse. You guys like alcohol, right?

It is a brewing barrel. It's very good that the materials are cheap. How many do you want to make?

"Hmm? Stacked?

Typically, workbench-related items are not stacked in the inventory, but brewing barrels appear to be stacked like other materials and items in the inventory. I mean, is this a consumable?

"I thought the material was light, but if it can't be used repeatedly, maybe not."

Now that the brewing barrel is ready, take it out and try accessing it. Then the brewing menu came out.

Miso - Material: soybean × 2 grains × 2 salt × 2 water × 2

Soy sauce - Material: soy x 1 grain x 1 salt x 2 water x 4

"Ok!

But the ingredients of miso and soy sauce are almost the same... the crafting time of soy sauce... 19.2 hours... No, is this originally reduced by 20% by 24 hours by skilled craftsmen? It would otherwise be aged on a yearly basis. Miso is about half of that.

Incidentally, the amount of soybean needed to prepare one miso was about 200 g. The size of the barrel is the so-called generic size of the barrel. It was filled with 200 grams.

The law of mass preservation is still breathing today.

Koske, I've got some nectar.

"I brought grapes and wheat."

The drinkers came back after preparing miso and soy sauce. Keep your crops and access the brewing barrel menu.

Elf beer - Material: nectar × 2 water × 6

Wine - Material: Grapes x 10

Yale - Material: wheat × 4 water × 4

Beer - Material: wheat x 3 hops x 1 water x 4

Looks like you can make it. I know about elf's beer and wine, but you can tell the difference between ale and beer. But I don't have a hop... any of the herbs that Isla or Elf shared with me are a substitute for a hop, I'm sure. Which one? I'll check it out later.

Incidentally, Yale was surprised at the craft time of 8 minutes. Ha, ha. Next, thirty minutes with a beer of elves. The beer lasted 4.3 hours and the wine 8.6 hours.

"Is Yale ready to drink!? Can I have another drink tomorrow!?

"Too much joy, isn't it?

"No, I don't think so... will the brewing end in such a short time if you go to Koske? I'm glad we can have honey soon."

Sir Leonard was ecstatic and Sylphie smiled. I didn't know Lord Leonard, but Sylphie likes a lot of alcohol. I'm supposed to be a child at my elf's age, but I'm older than I am... I can't say anything.

"I'm also curious about the miso and shoyu that Koske cooked."

"It has a unique flavor, but it's delicious. Well, depending on the person, there's something that doesn't suit me."

However, soy sauce is a versatile condiment. I'm sure we'll all be captive soon. Miso is quite difficult to use. I can only think of miso soup and miso pickled vegetables. You want to bake the rest?

Would it be good if meat and fish were miso pickled and baked? I wonder if it could be used in combination with soy sauce for grilled dishes. I think it's delicious just by biting it on vegetables.

While I was talking about that, the ale came out, so I took out the ceramic cup and poured it out of the barrel.

"Well, it's subtle to win..."

"We're not doing anything."

Let's drink to Koske.

"Cheers."

"Something illuminates me. Cheers."

Lightly discuss the cup and sip the ale. Hmm, I've drunk it for the first time, but unlike beer, it doesn't hurt. It feels a little sour, but I think the fragrance is good because it feels fruity. I may be easier to drink than beer.

Hmm, I've drunk Ale for the first time, but it's not bad.

"I agree."

"The ale made by Koske is a good one. Compared to this, the cheap ale in an after-school tavern is like horse piss."

"I don't know... an end-of-place tavern."

The brewing work is continuing while drinking. The barrels can be mass-produced on an improved workbench, so they are being mass-produced. And there are plenty of crops to prepare. Prepare the same amount of miso and soy sauce, and prepare the elf beer and wine, ale, and beer.

As a result, 20 barrels of miso and soy sauce, 25 barrels of elf honey wine, 20 barrels of ale, and 5 barrels of beer were prepared. And I booked right near the pantry, so it stands out.

"Master Leonard, is that Yale?

"Oh, yes. It's a fine ale made by Koske. Everyone drinks."

"Are you sure?

"I don't mind. Let's all have a drink."

"Her Highness forgave me. Come on, drink!

"I'll take it!

"I haven't seen Yale in a long time!

"How long have you been drinking?

The liberators who were liberated in this operation and who remained here to fight, as well as the liberators who have just been treated by me, were also involved in the big banquet. The food warehouse has been opened up, the stockpile has been spit out a little, and I silently build up the ale.

You don't have to drink it? If this is not the case, everyone here will be poured with alcohol and will die of acute alcoholism, so please refrain. Because I have to make everyone's drinking ale! That's why I often refuse to drink.

"Ahahahaha!

Sylphie is not allowed to hang around while being advised to drink the unfamiliar ale. You're laughing happily.

"The fermentation is too fast....."

"That's Mr. Koske!

"La ♪ la ♪ la ♪"

Isla is observing the fermentation with her eyes that have lost light by opening the barrel of ale I just prepared, and Pirna is holding a clever ceramic mug with both wings and holding a twinkle and ale. I've been singing drunk with a brown-winged harpy pessar... and it's a pretty good voice.

"What is it... Your Highness, Koske..."

Da Nang, who rushed to the scene to hear the noise, lost his words when he saw me making Silfi and Yale silently laughing around. I took a new ceramic mug out of the inventory for him and poured out the ale.

"Well, drink."

……

Da Nang didn't answer my words, he just breathed out a deep sigh and received a mug. Yeah, Sylphie's already falling apart, so there's nothing I can do about it. Enough for today, let's do it tomorrow.
