Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 391 - Dinner with the Crown Prince
"Um... uh, yeah. Let's start with a meal.”
Prince Sindriel, who couldn't stop deceiving the upset, said that, and began to deliver food to the maids who were in charge of the service - maids, lizard women, and many beasts with reptilian characteristics.
Huh, Hanba-kun ~
“Yes, based on a recipe that my cousin Rezalus brought back when he talked to Master Korske and Grande. Nowadays, it is popular not only among the nobility of the marquis, but also among the common people."
"Hmm... it tastes a little different from what Kozuke offers, but this is delicious."
“Thank you, and let the castle chef know that you complimented Grande.”
Reach for the hamburger I was carrying, listening to the exchange between Grande and Prince Sindriel. Well, it's for a stand-up party, so it's small. If you can't do it, it's about the size of a bite.
The ingredients are simply some kind of meat patty, lettuce, and chopped onions. The sauce isn't ketchup. Close to Worcester Sauce? Worcester sauce was made by fermenting garlic and onion in vinegar.
Both lettuce and onion should have been highland vegetables, and garlic should have been suitable for growing in the cold. The world's vegetables are not necessarily the same, but being served with sauces like Worcester sauce along with fresh lettuce may suit the atmosphere of the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom.
"What kind of meat is this?" It's juicy and delicious. "
"Oh, that meat is goat meat. Goats are also used as livestock in the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom, and there are many wild species. Goat meat is a familiar ingredient in our national diet."
"I see. Goat meat... I'm not very familiar with it, but it's delicious without any smell at all."
"Of course, this goat meat is carefully selected for tonight's feast." The meat we usually eat is often a bit more habitual. However, even such meat can be used as a hamburger patty and eaten deliciously with some ingenuity. It's easy, it's not difficult to cook, and it feels good. Moreover, depending on the design, you can enjoy a variety of things. Even if it's not Grande's favorite, it probably suits our culture. "
While saying that, Prince Sindriel threw a small hamburger into his mouth and began to do it. While watching the situation, Grande seemed to be satisfied. Well, not many people feel bad about being praised for their favorite foods and told that they are becoming popular. It's the same thing as Grande, the dragon.
"Besides, in our kingdom, the custom of eating with a hand grabbing, a knife, and a single iron skewer is deeply entrenched." They use a knife to shred burnt pieces of meat directly from the fire, and they eat it with a hand grasp along with bread broiled by the same fire. In that case, it may not be the role of the host to cut the meat into pieces. ”
"Huh, that sounds pretty fun." Let's try it out while we learn how to do it. "
"Hahaha, it would be fun to just ask, but this is a surprisingly distracted job." If you don't cut it well, you will have a lot of fat, and you have to successfully handle it by understanding the customer's favorite meat part and abdominal condition. You won't be able to learn all morning and all evening. If you like, I can send a cook from our country. It would be a big profit for each other if we exchanged novel technologies, not just cooking. ”
I see, a technical exchange. In any case, the core technology related to magic instruments and munitions may be an ant in the field close to cultural exchanges such as cooking......
"I won't be able to answer you immediately." Promises made at a drinking venue can't be too busy. "
"That's a shame." I definitely want you to consider it positively.
Without being particularly devoured, Prince Sindriel shrugged his shoulders and backed off early.
Huh? That was a pretty easy step backwards. Are you scared of me, or are you looking for something else?
"Speaking of which, I heard that some of the products you brought this time include preserved food that can be stored for a long time. I would definitely like to disclose it on the day of the National Day, but I would like to learn about its handling."
"Oh, that's right..."
Turning to Doriada, she nodded tinyly. It's a one-handed thing not to teach you how to cook or what to do.
"I'll let the maid I brought and the soldier in charge of the kitchen go over and tell them how to handle it." If you're ready, I'll be there tomorrow. "
"Then I'll arrange a cook in time for lunch tomorrow." I'll pick you up in the morning. "
"Alright, we'll select the person in charge later this evening." Is there anything else? "
"I see... this is not a question from the position of the prince, it's a question of my personal interest... but it was that magic airship." Is it true that that giant flying ship is flying at a speed unbeatable for dragons? "
Prince Sindriel -No, Sindriel's face flushed with excitement. Personal interest, hey. Well, it doesn't seem to be a complete lie, but perhaps my position as prince is also a very relevant question.
It's true... Didn't you hear it from Lord Carrutus, who accompanied you?
"Of course I heard that, but I can't believe that giant is flying at the same speed as or more than the flying dragon... By the way, can't you have that ship sold to my country?"
“Impossible. If you try to sell it, one ship at actual cost will tilt the economy of the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom. It's like overturning."
Reacting to Aira's muttering words, Sindriel squinted between her brows.
"I don't want you to underestimate me." Our country is rich enough to compete with the kingdom and even the empire through the flying dragon trade. No matter how much-- "
"Average 0.7 tons in pure mithril terms."
Huh? Didn't you hear me right?
"It's not a mistake. On a pure mithril basis, about 0.7 tons of mithril is used in one of the ships. Since it is made of mythril copper alloy and silver alloy, its weight is multiplied by many times in the sense of mythril-based materials. Besides, just imagine what the source of magic is flying that giant."
I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in magic items.
"The amount of mithril used in the ship's structural materials seems a bit small." Anyway, I couldn't buy it in the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom, the Empire, or the Holy Kingdom. Because it's a sudden prototype with a cost outlook. "
Having said that, Isla pierced the shredded grilled meat that had been carried over into the iron skewer, and gently added the prepared sauce before carrying it to her mouth. Oh, that looks delicious. I'll get it, too. Oh, this is delicious. Gravy sauce, maybe? Perhaps you are also using the Worcester sauce used in hamburgers.
"I can't imagine... but can I tell you something like that?"
"If this information leaks, we won't have any trouble." Even if you tell someone, they'll laugh at you for being such an idiot. "
"Hah, hahaha... that's right."
Prince Sindriel smiled and looked as if he was looking further away. Well, don't talk like that. Eat meat. Eat meat. His Royal Highness the Prince is a proud cook.
But why is Doriada sending a warm, raw gaze to Prince Sindriel? It's like that's the way I walked.
