Alice and Rufina were walking around the city leaving the lab.
Recently, Alice resumed her daytime walk and was wandering with one of her children as a companion.
Alice stopped in front of a store.
"Grocery store... Rufina, shall we come in?
"Yes, Alice.
Two people enter the store.
"Welcome, Alice.
Looking for something?
A man thought to be the store manager calls from the counter.
"Excuse me.
Nothing in particular... What have you been selling lately?
"Recently... ah, I heard the raw cream and butter.
The store manager will tell you.
"I was expecting it, but it was confusing.
Alice nodded bitterly.
"Yes, you sold a vial that I thought was for butter and raw cream as groceries.
I bought most of them in bulk.
"... a vial... did you retail that amount?
I haven't told the general family yet... "
"Well, there's also a family of cooks at each restaurant.
Isn't there something I can't help it?
"Even if I don't pursue it very much, everyone will get paid, but I wonder if I have to go out if it's too much.
"You know who they are.
Why don't you take care of that?
"Hah... I'll tell you what to pay attention to.
"Yes, is that okay, and was it a pizza?
I am ordering more plates for that dish.
"... a special plate?
Alice tilted her neck in the opposite direction.
"It's a large shallow plate.
There were also 80cm round dishes inside.
"Huh? It's so big that we've never eaten either.
"He said he would try to see how big anything could be.
Wouldn't you like it to be a specialty at a tavern?
Would it be better if I went to the investigation?
"If you can, it'll be a rumor.
You should go eat.
"I will.
Anything else?
"Yes, I recently bought it from the Earl of Temples.
Alice talked to the store owner.
After leaving the grocery store, Alice and Rufina headed for the next store.
"As you said, Alice, pizza seems to be popular.
Rufina looks at the shops on the street and says.
"That's right.
From what Frederick has told me, the price of ingredients seems to be calming down, so I'm relieved for the time being.
According to the owner, they make pizzas with distinctive characteristics for each store... "
Alice keeps an eye on a sticker placed in front of a store.
"Dear Alice? Spicy pizza?
Is it delicious... or does it make a topic... "
Rufina looks at the poster Alice is looking at.
"I see, bread with added spiciness may also become special.
... I don't know if it tastes good.
Alice nods.
"Alice, would you like to make it tomorrow?
"The soup is painful even with a little toilet.
It is troublesome if something is made poorly and cannot be eaten... but should I just suggest it to the chef?
"That's right.
Rufina nods.
"Alice, the theme of the next specialty festival is' Pizza '!
Chibikonoha comes out on Alice's shoulder and talks.
"Pizza? Well, it seems that the shop is using it to attract pizza...
Will it become a feature in each town?
"Aren't you going to be?
Instead, we might have to make one for each town before these stores make it.
"Hmm... that's right, but on the contrary, you can make various kinds, and then let each town director eat them, and then you can bring back what you can make in your own town or village and root them out.
"Ah, that's good to say.
And Alice, pizza dough can be anything from fluffy bread to crisp biscuits.
"We're eating like bread, right?
"I see.
It is true that I actually let the people in the union eat it, so I think something similar is coming out now.
If there's a difference in the fabric, topping the same ingredients will make it feel different.
"That's right.
Hmm... can you eat that?
"I think I can.
If you're crispy, it feels like you can enjoy the ingredients, so it's perfect for snacking on alcohol.
Personally, I think it would be a good idea to serve it with pasta.
"Hmm, I see.
Shall I ask the chef?
So, I'll also tell you about the fabric according to the local characteristics, right?
"I want to give it to you.
And I started doing chicken.
You can use Worcester sauce to fine-tune the baked ingredients with a strong flavour, or on the contrary, just salt.
Some chicken is just boiled.
You can do as much as you want with chicken.
It depends on whether you're using mushrooms, potatoes or fish.
"Hmm... okay.
Let's say that to Frederick and the chef as a plan.
"Alice, how do you use fish?
Rufina asks Alice.
"I don't know, but if you ask Mr. Takeo or Mr. Suzune, you might be able to make something delicious.
Since Takeo-san has been making a lot of things for me, should I be able to come up with a plan when I get back?
Let me know if you can make something that Rufina and the others want to try.
"I see, Alice.
Rufina nodded.
