The Coffee Shop in a Different World Station

One day, when the exposition was about to celebrate its final day as well, there was a figure of Natl in the hotel garden where Sofia would stay.

The sky is clear and pleasant with a refreshing autumn breeze. In such tranquillity, Natl was teetering about preparing for the luncheon he could begin.

Lunch began some time before noon, from which preparations were under way as per the steps arranged backwards.

The finished ingredients are arranged on a temporary kitchen table in the garden.

Cebolia (onion) and arpio (celery) are minced and placed in a bowl with small, square-cut sanaolia (carrots). In the small plate next to it were slices of aho (garlic) and herbs.

And in the center of the kitchen table were two metal bats lined up. On the other hand, it's pork. Pork, carefully beaten and minced with a knife, is mixed with fat and meat to reveal a fresh pink color.

The other bat contains a fresh camaroon (shrimp) that was just picked today. The head and shell were removed from the freshly picked shrimp, revealing a prickly fresh body.

And beneath these bats is a big, transparent “ice stand”.

Even though it's getting somewhat refreshing in the early fall, it still gets sweaty cheerful during the day. So it was prepared in a proposal by Sophia, the hostess, to make her eyes enjoy the coolness.

Of course, there is also an intention to show that ingredients are prevented from being damaged even in the outdoor heat. Through this performance, it was Sophia's math to get interested in “artificial ice” as well.

Pato, the most important ingredient in today's dish, is already ready. Pato, which has undergone a "bottom treatment" in advance, is placed in a large bowl and covered with a white cloth from the top.

Other condiments and spices are also available at the kitchen table. All we have to do is wait for the visitors.

A lively voice was heard from the entrance to the garden in Natl's ear. Guests have arrived, apparently. Natl gently closes his eyes and organizes the steps again in his head.

So much less, Sophia, hostess of the day and master of Natl, brought in a young man beside him. Behind it was also the appearance of Sabbath colluding with the other elderly gentleman.

Sophia came in front of a temporary kitchen table with a nattle while accompanying a man. Beautiful eyes, elegant appearance would refer to a man like him. Like that beautiful man, Natl accidentally fell in love.

"Let me introduce you. I'm Natl, our cook chief. She'll be in charge for lunch today."

Natl, who returned to me much to Sophia's voice introducing Natl, hurriedly takes his cock hat and bows deeply. The man called out casually as he smiled at the way Natl looked like such a small animal.

"It's a Libert. I've been looking forward to hearing that it can be found in quite delicious rice today. I hope so."

The man, named Liberto, gently offered his hand to Natl with his accustomed trick. Natl hurriedly wipes his hand with an apron gratuitously, shook the fearful Libert's hand and exchanged hands.

At that moment, Sophia's expression had become bitter only for a moment, but she was full of heads in the next steps, and there was no room at all to notice Natl nervously in front of a man who was so beautiful that she would fall in love.

"So, could you get started quickly?

"Ha, ha!

Using Sophia's words as a signal, Natl rewears his cock hat to put his feelings back on. It's okay, I've checked the steps many times, all I have to do is proceed properly..., I switched the switch in just a few moments and concentrated my awareness on the cooking work.

"Well, let's get started."

When Natl declares so, he stands in front of the kitchen table - in front of a table placed in the center of the venue, taking away the large white cloth that was sprinkled on top.

What emerged from underneath was a square table made of bricks, and a large flat pan with two hands - a Paeja pan - that would have a diameter of 50 cm.

Natl asked the hotel staff who were waiting to set fire to the brick table to be used as a temporary stove. Then put your hands together and make sure the temperature rises, put the oliva (olive) oil in the paella pan so that it pulls thinly, and immediately add the sliced aho.

As Oliva oil warmed up, I heard a pleasant sound from Aho called Schwer, spreading the characteristic aroma.

"Hmm, this is another big pot. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do."

"Hia! Oh, the oil will jump, so please wait there."

At some point Natl was surprised at the voice of Liberto, who stood nearby, and raised his voice. I find that out. Sophia rushes more than rushes to get out of our cook's way, and pulls the Libert in protest.

It was a Natl that surprised me for a moment, but from here on out, I couldn't even cut the focus to entertain a speed battle, a valued customer. Natl once again devotes himself to cooking in front of the Paeja pan.

Once the aho is properly colored, remove it from the pan and add the pork mince. With the appetizing sound of juwer, the oil bounces on top of the paeja pan.

Keep stirring well for a while, where the pork mince has a good baking color, sanaoria, seboria, arpio and plenty of vegetables can be added in order.

Keep sautéing, the vegetables have just caught fire, and Pato is finally here. Natl takes the white cloth he had covered in a bowl and puts the pato in a paella pan at once.

Riverto raised his voice watching the way it looked slightly away

"Well, do you mean to use the pato in short folds? That's pretty daring.

"Yes, this is the dish that I'm serving today, Pato's paella tailoring."

Sophia responds with some delightful expression to a voice containing surprises emanating from Liberto. Natl kept stirring hard with a large wooden slab so that the oil would be familiar with the pato he put in the pan, even as he put the conversation between the two into his ears.

It was Takumi's idea to create a paeaja instead of an arrow. It was very well received from the prototype stage, it was new at the moment and, above all, delicious.

“Pato's Paeja”, a blend of Takumi ideas into the Paeja made by Natl, was the perfect dish for this theme.

But Natl, who was repeating the prototype, had only one thing in mind for this dish.

That's what this dish is all about, "Fold the pato."

Usually folding and using a pato that is cooked for a long time does not amount to disrespect to the other person, or Natl was only worried about that.

So when Natl returned under Sophia, he conveyed this concern while quickly showing the prototype. Sophia's answer to that was clear.

"You just have to be delicious enough not to make me complain. Besides, look, there's a more important“ message ”to this than that, right?

Sophia smiles at Natl and gives her a go sign, drawing on the "message” hidden in this dish throughout the tasting. Natl, relieved by one word, was able to cook confidently today.

Now, in the Paeja pan, the stir-fried pato was smoking oil and becoming translucent. Natl anticipates a match around that time and pours a pre-made specialty soup in the pan.

This soup is one of the most laborious pieces of Paige ever made.

The base is the first one to sauté the head and shell of the camaroon along with the flavoured vegetables, where the soup taken from the beef bones was poured. The taste is squeezed to its limit by boiling it thoroughly until the moisture in the pan is half, and then filtering it to crush the head and shell of the camaroon in a funnel-shaped shaver.

It is this soup that is fully packed with extracts of its camaroons, combined with tomatoes once boiled and then crushed into a paste, with added acidity and depth.

Natl pours plenty of special soup into the Paeja pan. White hot air rose with the loud noise of Jewer.

Various flavors of concentrated aromas spread throughout the garden, grabbing visitors' noses.

I just put the soup in until it hits me, arrange the last remaining camaron body at the top, and cover the paella pan with a lid.

Natl gives instructions to the staff on fire to add or subtract the fire so that it is about medium high. All I had to do was wait to cook it up like this and leave the last finish behind. Having come this far, Natl was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

―――――

In the ear of Natl, who was sitting in a chair resting, came the sound of chilli chilli emitted from inside a Paeja pan. It's time to signal completion.

When Natl lifts his hips, he opens the lid of the Paeja pan. The hot air and fragrance spreads on one side, and the twirl rises from the people in the venue.

Instruct the staff on the fire to gradually weaken the fire while gently mixing the whole thing to fly the remaining moisture. In the meantime, Natl herself mixed together to make the whole thing look good while seasoning with salt pepper and a special spice mix.

Finally, the whole paella was lightly suppressed to evenness before sprinkling with plenty of moistened hard cheese and chopped pellet heels (parsley). That concludes the finishing touches. Natl took a breath, Huh, before declaring the dish complete.

"Thank you for waiting! Pato's paella tailoring was ready. Ladies and gentlemen, come here."

Sophia nods contentedly as the mistress (hostess) to Natl's confident voice, which is unusual. Then, Sophia invited her guest of honor, Liberto, and they came in front of Natl side by side. Sabbath and Libert squire follow behind.

"Good day. So, how do I eat this?

Sophia speaks to Natl. This is exactly what I set aside in advance. Natl, once he took a deep breath, told him this with courage.

"Paeja, the original form of today's cuisine, is a dish that is often eaten at home in the region. At home, it's not a big pot so far, but we'll all work with Wye on the paeja we put on the table. So, ladies and gentlemen, please feel free to take as much paeja out of the pan as you like today. Oh, but don't worry, the pan is hot.

"Ho, I want you to take it from your hand. That's quite an interesting hobby..."

Riverto, who was listening to an explanation next to Sophia, smiles niggly as she receives a dish and spoon from Natl.

Shall we split it, Sophia, with her hands on the Libert? and voice, but with a childlike grin of finding a new toy, Libert quit it just saying not to take pleasure in it.

"Okay, let's just say I get it quick. Ok......"

A large spoon handed over for sorting is used to separate the "Pato's Paige Tailoring" from the Libert, even though it is slightly unbridled. Plenty of sprinkled cheese was swinging and pulling the thread. The short broken pato was stained with the red colour of the soup and it was found at a glance that it fully absorbed its flavour.

The green contrast between sanaorian oranges, red and white striped camaroons and the last scattered pere heel conveys deliciousness to the eyes as well. The aromatic scent that rises with the hot air was also sufficient to awaken the belly worm of the Libert.

Liberto cheeked a quick split “Pato's Paige Tailor”.

The pato in the mouth leaves a slightly stiff finish. It fully smokes the flavour of the soup and ingredients and is very savoury.

The flavour of the camaroons and tomatoes felt from the pato seems to be well supported by the flavour of the meat and the sweetness of the vegetables. The cheese put in at the end also works well enough.

Above all, it was the unique flavors produced by the spices and herbs put together that surprised Liberto. It was accented by various spices and flavors, and tightened without boring the mouth of Paeja, which tends to become heavier if the flavor overlaps.

Libert shares his thoughts as he roars.

"This is... really brilliant. Sure, it's Pato's dish that's never produced in our country."

"I'm sorry for the compliment. If you like, have a second drink, please. Shall I share it with you?

On Sophia's second invitation, Libert nods one and gives him a dish to pick up. Sophia took the contents of the pan apart and offered it to the Libert as she slightly lowered the bottom of the pan.

Patopaeja received from Sofia included the "thanks” part. The fragrant baked "courtesy” is one of the flavors of Paeja. Natl dared not drop the fire altogether to reproduce it even in Patopaeja, letting it continue heating even though it was weak.

With a fragrant, crispy "courtesy” part in his mouth, Libert can unwittingly flaunt his face.

"Oops... how fun this is"

"One of the characteristics of Paeja is that it shows a very varied taste."

Sophia proudly answered, putting “Pato's Paeja” in her mouth, which she had taken apart for herself. The look on Sophia's face was just as broken as Liberto's.

Everyone on the spot was delicious, and the large paella pan quickly became empty as a result of successive shifts that said it was delicious.

Natl was thrilled and full of breasts to see how it was.

"No, it was really good. Well, this is definitely a" friendly "dish."

After finishing his last bite, Riverto returned to his serious face as he wiped his mouth and told Sophia so. A squire who hears the word confirms to Liberto what the word means in a somewhat hasty manner.

"Duh, what does that mean?

"Would we have all surrounded ourselves and eaten this food? This dish, where you can share a pot in front of you, is just a sign of friendship. Is that what this is all about?

To Liberto's words, which he asked to confirm again, Sophia indicated her consent by nodding silently. The squire also pounds his hand like he was finally good at it. With that sidelined, Liberto went on to say even more.

"But I don't interpret another“ development ”. Can you please explain what the intention is?

"I'll let the cook answer that. Natl, answer me."

Sophia dared Natl, who watched the two conversations beside her, to answer. Because I decided that the other answer was better to let it be answered from the mouth of Natl, the cook.

On the other hand, Natl, who was suddenly told the story, became ha-ha-ha. Still, after taking one deep breath, I managed to start explaining.

"This is based on“ home cooking. "There is no particularly difficult technology to come by, and even if you make it with what you can get at that time, it will be delicious enough. Oh, so, but today we have worked hard to treat Liberto and everyone as much as we can."

Responding to Natl's response, Libert nodded yeah.

"I see, you do mean that as long as you have this pan and the right ingredients, you can cook the pato in some sort of soup"

Before Natl returns the word, now Sophia answers.

"And if you spend as much time on ingredients as you do today, you can call it an unusual and nostalgic dish that can also be a decent“ hospitality dish "."

"It will also be a home cooking and a dish for these feasts. It's wide enough, and being able to make it for everyone means there's plenty of room to spread it."

Libert nodded as he was convinced. Sophia recapitulated the second intent and purpose.

"" Development ”will mean a lot, but 'more trading' can be said to be the biggest development for both countries today. If households in our country have more opportunities to eat so much pato in these home-cooked dishes, that leads to so many deals, that is, development."

"And if today's dishes are passed from your country to our country, it will lead to a trade in your country's specialties such as spices and herbs… I see, I understand well"

The Libert, who even read the thoughts put in the back, laughs niggly. In contrast, Sophia returned a word.

"Well, the biggest reason I chose this is simply because I found it delicious and thought this would please your Excellency"

Sophia laughs like a prank when she says that. Libert's eyebrows move only slightly pickly on that look, which he accidentally gave. Fortunately, however, no one seemed to notice the change.

Reflecting in an instant, Libert turned again towards Sophia and told her this as she offered her hand.

"With the fact that we were able to eat this dish together, the potential for friendship and development between our country and yours was greatly demonstrated. With regard to Pato's exports, I undertake to coordinate with my country under my responsibility as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary and to ensure a satisfactory response."

Sophia also responded with a ceremonial courtesy to the ambassadorial Liberto of the negotiating party by gently holding the handful of martial bones offered.

"Thank you very much, Lord Liberto, for your efforts. I will do my utmost to ensure that this deal leads to friendship and development between the two countries, and hence greater peace and stability."

To the interaction between the two, applause boiled from nowhere. The two acclaimed protagonists nodded one gaze at each other and nominated one cook, arguably the biggest actor of the day.

"I was able to carve a new page for both countries here today as a result of the dedication of Natl, who served excellent food"

"Ladies and gentlemen, please give Natl a big round of applause."

Using the two words as a signal, everyone in the venue sent praise to Natl with further loud applause.

To unexpected praise, Natl was just puckering without a voice.

It still took some time for Natl to get a sense of the reality that "his cooking was recognized in the official seat”.

―――――

After an exciting luncheon beyond the scheduled time, Sophia had come to drop off the Liberto back at the exposition to the hotel's front door. As he boards the carriage, Liberto speaks softly and quietly to Sofia.

"By the way, I'd like to personally thank you too, but could you give me a moment after the exposition?

After much thought, Sophia, who was invited, thought of “another useful actor” who wanted to thank her for this incident and responded this way.

"Thank you very much. Actually, there's just one more person who's been very helpful in this case. If you don't mind, would you consider a thank you to that person together?

"Well, is there anyone else like that in Lord Natl? If so, I'd like to thank you too. Okay, then I'd like to ask you to step out to thank him once. Can I ask for it?

"Yeah, I'll get back to you on that one."

When Sophia answers that, she gives a bow of grace and then drops off the Libert who gets in the carriage.

And I was staring at that back until I couldn't see the carriage I left.

Later on, the two of them will be visiting Takumi, the "other useful actor," but that's another story.

As of today, it was Sophia who was unaware of the profound intentions contained in Liberto's words.
