The Space Fortress That Came to the Sengoku Era

"Sounds tough."

"Naturally. It's a lot of work to squeeze oil."

I'm coming to Hot Field's mansion this day. There are vegetable seeds planted on the ranch this spring, and I decided to do the oil squeezing.

Since the type of vegetable species is a non-toxic species that has made the toxin non-toxic by genetic improvement, it will be safe for consumption.

This time, we decided to test the new technology of oil milling, or the demonstration test of the techniques used in the Edo period of historical facts, such as arrow-sheeting and oil milling.

The equipment is made of wood, right? Can't it be made of iron? Can't surface process it, so will the oil have a metal odor? Well, a pile of technology is important, and if you're going to do it at this stage, maybe it's enough.

I'll keep an eye on the work with Elle and Cindy, who are in charge of Hot Field, but Cindy was a little spooked when she said she felt it was going to be tough.

He's also whaling, so he's bringing a little whale oil into the tailings, but not enough to sell because of the port's ability to land and fry. Either way, the oil is processed into soap and brought in. We can bring in as many of them as we want, but we can't.

Oil is also in this era, and the oil seat is beneficial to the width. The famous Oilhouse of Oyamazaki seems a lot less impressive though.

"Do we have to bring in the oil dealer merchant this too?

"Right. I just don't see the timing. It's time for Kichina-kun to know our existence besides the bright end."

As it stands, it is only a test of the cultivation and oiling of new varieties of vegetable seeds. There are still walls that need to be overcome to be largely oiled and sold from cultivation.

First, farming needs to be done by farmers, but farming begins next year with a reform of how rice is grown, right? It would be early to do vegetable seeds or something with the backing of the fields, starting next winter.

I think I'll have to leave the oil squeezing and selling to the merchants, but Elle gives me a slightly troubled look.

"It's only been a year."

"You'll see how it goes now, but not too far away, there 'll be more forces moving."

There will probably be no major problem in the Oda family's sphere of power. I am not willing to sell it to Kiuchi from here. Nevertheless, does it not necessarily mean that the side of Kichinai will always watch in silence?

I've had a little trouble before, but even as things stand, some of the merchants are already moving. We are also selling products to Tsushima and Hota. Really, what is selling?

Nevertheless, there is still no contact from the big man. There's just a bunch of badly behaved merchants who don't even have a name in history and aren't very big, are there? Not at all.

The temple with vested rights has no movement so far, but this one is busy fighting in Kichichi, so it seems that there is no time left.

The Shogun is in the first place a general or a controversy of some kind, not the other way around. Although Shinsu seems to maintain a moderate distance against the hexagon and build a good relationship.

Are you sure the general is back in the capital? Are we going to have a full rise in Sanho?

I wonder if some of Ozhuang's oil stores will connect with the oil locks in Kichinai. We need to successfully disconnect ourselves from our acquired rights in Kichi.

I guess the easiest thing to do is Chingzhou. The acquired rights of the Yamato Shouya era are easy to crush because the connection with the Oda Bullet Zhongzhong family is still not deep.

Well, as it stands, we can only produce about the amount of oil to be used in our ranch and industrial village, and then we can wholesale it to eight houses in Qingzhou, and there won't be any problems.

"Isn't it delicious?"

"Naturally!

Cindy's handmade pasta dish with dried pasta for lunch today.

I also have bare noodles in this day and age, and I have been prototyping udon for pasta and soba noodles for some time now. Especially since we have a lot of sudden visitors around lunch.

The menu is simple peperoncino and rich carbonara.

Let's start with Peperoncino.

It's strange because eating peperoncino served on a round flat plate with chopsticks looks like a dish that's not so different from baked noodles or bare noodles.

Simple flavoring of garlic richness, oil and salt on the tingling irritation of chili peppers, but this is delicious again.

The soup becomes a western-style soup stewed with seasonal radishes and chicken.

I wonder if it's a flavor that I never get tired of. Long time no see.

"I am truly sorry that this was during the meal. But it's a dish I've never seen."

Mm-hmm. Today's raider, no, the customer was Shinsu Mitsuzu, Chiaki Kwang, who is also the Great Palace Superior of Hota Shrine.

I hope you're sorry, but it shouldn't be my fault my gaze is locked on the table.

When I come to Hot Field, this person comes around lunch while talking to me, right?

"Because of this, why don't you join us? I don't know if it suits your mouth."

"I appreciate that. Then don't hesitate."

Normally we should head out to the mansion of the person above us, but in Ozhang it is becoming normal to gather at us. I dare say, we are not a gathering place or a rice restaurant!

Chiaki doesn't hesitate. When she smiles and comes to the table, she just starts eating the pasta she's been transported.

"This is delicious. It's not like the udon in Hachiya or the yakisoba."

The first peperoncino with chopsticks, Chiaki gave me the look of surprise when I ate cheat and rind like a roasted noodle.

Oh, Hagoro's Yakaya, who was a Takigawa clan, has become a completely famous store. It has become too famous to be used as a base for the Ninja crowd, which was its original purpose, but it is useful for gathering information because it brings together a variety of people.

Chiaki went out of her way to eat in Chingzhou, too. They just don't tell us to come cook, but they all seem to care.

This man is no stranger to being Ozhang's powerful man. It helps because it helps me with a lot of conveniences and cooperation.

"Uhm!? The white sauce over here tastes completely different again. This is fine!

Following Peperoncino, Mr. Chiaki also put chopsticks on Carbonara without hesitation. I was worried because it tastes intense, but does it suit the mouth of people in this day and age?

Carbonara is delicious too. Bacon is made from pigs on the ranch, and eggs keep chickens in this mansion. Looks like the recipe is from Japan in the original world and uses raw cream, but the raw cream can be made from dairy cows on the ranch.

The food of this era is too light for us, and it's simple to season. Maybe our food can be stimulating like drugs.

Do we have to be careful?

"Speaking of which, because they started something new again?

"Well, I'm trying a new way to squeeze oil."

"I see. Lately, there have been a lot of intersections in the hot fields. This mansion will be fine, but be careful."

Chiaki, who took a sigh of warm wheat tea when he finished serving the dish, finally started talking about what could be called the real deal.

Apparently I've come to perceive and see that I've started something new. He was carrying in tools for oil milking and stuff, so I guess I got that report as well.

Chiaki also advised me that more and more spies are coming from all over the place these days. Mostly more spies from Kinai.

I guess if there's more people in and out, there's no choice. Tsushima and Hota have been sending guards for some time now, so much so that without them they might have been confused.

The rest of us stand out in this era and are immature compared to spies in the original world, so it can't even be a threat, though.

Nanban noodles.

Although the name pasta has become known in recent years, the name Nanban noodles is common in Japan.

It was originally supposedly made by the Kuyuan family to eat at home, but because of the intimate people, it went to the table in Ozhang, from where it was passed down to all of Japan and the Japanese area.

It is thought to be about the same thing as European pasta, and it can be seen in the Kuyuan family that dry pasta has been used as a preserved food since that time.

Sometimes in Japan, dried noodles were passed on from the mainland before this era, and it is also told that they were more acceptable to people.

It should be noted that although it is assumed that we have clearly learned from Europe with regard to dried pasta, there is also a long history of being misunderstood in Japan as being too familiar and originating in the Kurumiya family.

It should be noted that Kuyuan family has never claimed the origin of Nanban noodles.

Originally, he states that the knowledge of the Kuyuan family during the war period was based on knowledge learned from the continent and Europe, and that it was studied independently and stacked.

Incidentally, in recent years it has been discussed that the Italian Prime Minister visited Japan and said that Japan and Italy are lovers of the same pasta.
