A small wave of smiles spreads to the dishes brought to the table.
"Is this a lump of salt?
"No matter how I look at it, I can only imagine it....."
Siena opened her mouth when she saw people whispering their thoughts.
"Onee-sama, please stop kidding me."
Siena glanced at Kate when she saw that the eyes of the people were gathered.
"I heard that the relationship between onee-sama and the cooks is not going well here. A lot of cooks got away before Manila Day, didn't they?
From the pathetic expression of my sister, Siena made a tough look.
"But that's why you're making fun of your father, who is today's guest of honor, by offering such a ridiculous item a chunk of salt that is not even a dish!"
Siena screams like she took the neck of a demon.
I thought it might be a good opportunity to get rid of my sister, but it's too far ahead.
That may mean that Kate-sama is being licked.
"Siena, be quiet. If you're complaining, can you finish cooking?
"Do you want me or your father to eat this chunk of salt?"
"If you don't want to eat, keep your mouth shut."
Regardless of Siena, Kate didn't break her pace.
When I looked closely, the tip of the cat's ear was tingling, so I think she was angry inside, but her expression seemed to be suppressed.
Siena also seemed to be in a crazy state, shredding her momentum and keeping quiet.
... it seemed right to tell Kate that Siena might catch up with me when I cooked.
Between the sisters' skirmishes, plates were arranged steadily on the table.
Kate opens her mouth when she sees a lump of salt placed in front of each of the 15 guests.
"Thank you for your patience. Today's dish is a confident creation of my out-of-court cook, but the way I eat it has changed slightly. First of all, I want to demonstrate."
To Kate-sama, the maid handed over the tree hanging.
"Oh dear? No way. No way. Maybe?
Lee Riena-sama whispered.
I think it's the first time a fox has ever surprised her.
--------------Kan!!
Hard sounds are made, and the trees are dropped into salt lumps.
When Kate-sama struck me several times, the surface cracked and peeled off.
"It smells good....."
Fluffy, smelly, burnt meat and herbal aromas.
People's expectations were raised by the arousing smell of appetite.
Kate seemed to be good at something and threw the cracked salt to the edge of the plate.
The smell grew stronger and stronger, and the well-baked pork appeared.
"In this way, you break a chunk of salt and put the ingredients inside into the outlet. It is a dish called salt pot grilled, which is a mixture of salt and egg white, covered with ingredients and steamed."
"Grilled in a salt pot..."
The guest seemed surprised when I first heard the name of the dish.
Of course I taught Kate to bake in a salt pot.
In Japan in the previous life, it was a dish that became famous for its impactful way of eating, but fortunately, it seemed unusual in this world.
Looking across the continent, there may be similar dishes, but nobody in this country seems to have eaten them.
I had been receiving rock salt as an apology for having been allowed to eat salty food in Kate's out-of-court.
Delivered with abundant salt.
I wanted to use it to make salt pot roast and give it to His Majesty, but after many thoughts, I decided to serve him another dish.
I had an unexpected taste the other day to get my opinion.
The reason for the voluntary donation of salt pot baking is now put aside, but this time it happened to be useful in the form of helping Kate.
"Grilled in a salt pot. Looks like one of the most luxurious products in my territory."
Kate and Siena's father, Gallon, are watching the salt pot grill with interest.
"This is not a lump of salt covering the ingredients, is it?
"Yes, just leave it on the edge of the plate. I'm going to collect and store it later and use it for something other than food."
When processing rock salt in Kate-sama's place of origin, it seems that salt is not suitable for consumption.
It seems that the wisdom of reusing the salt as an abrasive has also been passed down.
The salt on the outside of the salt pot was simply mixed and baked with egg white, so it took a lot of effort but it seemed like it could be recovered.
It seems that the pile of Kate-sama's hometown, which has been familiar with salt for many years, is something.
I see. Then you can rest assured and accept my daughter's hospitality. "
Following Kate, the maid handed over the trees to his main guest, Mr. Gallon.
When Garon-sama strikes the wooden garden, she looks at the contents of shishishige and salted pot grill.
"Hoo. My pot is like steamed beef."
"Yes, I put in your father's favorite. Please also check the contents of the salt pot grilled by other guests by your own hand."
The maid handed the trees to the guests.
The sound of crackling salt is heard all over the table.
It was like a little treasure hunt, and I was waving eagerly.
"My pork."
I looked at it and murmured.
Today, there are three kinds of salt pot grilled contents.
Pork and beef flavoured with vanilla, such as rosemary, and river fish filled with lemon.
Among the guests that Kate invited, it seemed that each one of them had a favorite food preference.
I have a taste for every ingredient, so I leave it up to Kate to choose.
Salt pot grilling is flashy in appearance, but it was a relatively lazy dish except for mixing the outside salt with egg white.
Thick-cut meat is more delicious, wrapped in salt, and then baked in an oven.
Even Kate's out-of-court kitchen, which was understaffed, seemed to have managed to handle it.
While stroking your chest like it worked, you'll crush the salt and taste the contents.
"Delicious..."
When I chewed it, the gravy became irritated.
It's salty and enhances the flavor of the meat.
Thanks to the flavor of rosemary, it is a juicy and refreshing pork.
Looking gently at the surroundings, you can hear a satisfying voice.
The main guest, Gallon, also seemed to be tasting the beef carefully.
"... delicious. Thanks to steaming with salt, the meat juice is soaked in plenty. The meat is also baked plump and the salt on the outside seems to stimulate the tongue comfortably."
It was grilled in a salt pot with an outstanding appearance, and the flavour seemed to have been liked.
