The canteen of Count Elvis.
"I'm hungry..."
Bossy Briani murmured.
"Huh? Didn't you get breakfast?"
Alice answers.
"No... I had less breakfast today because I could eat a lot of rice..."
Er... Simona too?
"I ate it normally.
There is no problem even with a lot.
We Beasts can eat a lot. "
"Hmm... but I've been preparing since the morning, but I think it's past noon.
If I get hungry now... can I endure it... "
"I'm putting up with tea."
Briani nodded weakly.
------------------------
In the corner of the kitchen.
Rice polishing was finished, and lectures on rice were given at the soaking stage.
"Mr. Kitamizato, is rice basically a food that doesn't choose ingredients?"
A cook from the Kingdom of Briani asks.
"It's a little different.
It would be better to have a good match than not to choose.
Especially if you make the taste strong, most dishes will suit you.
That's not just about rice, it's about bread.
If you're not mistaken about water loss, then it's a matter of preference. "
Takeo says.
"Well, during the rice grinding stage, I said I had cooked the fish, but I think there is also such a cooking method, so basically there is no problem.
But didn't it smell alive? "
"Yes, there was also suffering.
Is there any good way? "
"The fact that the fish I put in was incorrectly processed and the fact that I didn't put in anything to reduce the smell caused me to worry about the smell and pain that I think.
There may be other ways to do this, but it will need to be sharpened from now on. "
"Well then, what is the trouble caused by Mr Kitamizato's failure?"
"It's not that it's not a hassle, but if it was a failure that couldn't be accepted by 10,000 people, would it be?
Well, after all, they didn't process the guts. "
Have you cleaned your stomach?
"Did you take your head off?"
"No... that's it."
"I know you want to cook a whole fish because it looks good.
However, for cooking, the internal organs, which are the source of pain and smell, remain.
Eyes, mouth, etc.... if you don't cook it, it will lead to discomfort when you eat it without removing the bones of the fish. "
"Bones...?
Well... there's a lot of them. "
"In the pan, the bones on the fish fillet do not collapse, so I will leave it, and it will be a good stock if it is boiled for a long time.
But when you say you're going with rice... if you lose yourself in the cooking stage, you're mixed with rice and you don't know where the bones are.
If you are unfamiliar with it, you may get stung in your mouth, so it is safe to take the bones and put them in as much as possible. "
"Well, then, it's better to take your guts, your head, and your bones and cook with rice.
Then you should put in some vanilla to remove a little smell. "
"Yes, I think it will be delicious."
"I see, when this happens, it would be better to peel the skin before putting it in.
It feels like you can only put yourself in. "
"Hmm? Wait a minute.
I'd like to ask you, what else would you do to the fish to cook with rice, even though you took the bones and skin of the fish? "
"I see... I was told earlier to remove the smell with vanilla, so I should wrap the vanilla around the fish first to see if I can remove the smell."
Well, then what?
"... shall I cook rice with fish?"
The cook tells me.
"Ah... there was a lack of explanation.
Bake fish with rice once in advance.
The smell can be removed to a certain extent by doing so.
Of course, we have to deal with it. "
"Eh? Are you baking?
Cooking... I think this is similar to cooking. "
"Yes, please bake it.
And cooking with grilled fish has a higher chance of success.
If you put it in raw, the smell will definitely transfer to rice.
To prevent that, you might want to bake the fish in advance and cook with the vanilla. "
"I see, you should try this once."
"Yeah, that's right.
Then, as in the book I gave you earlier, you can cook the stock by adding it to the stock, and then unwrap and mix the grilled fish after cooking. "
"Hmm, there are basically two ways to do it, together or later... considering the low probability of failure, the latter...
Lord Kitamizato, what is the difference between these two? "
"It's a fragrance."
"Scent..."
"When you cook together, the smell of what you cook is on the rice.
The smell is also strong, but it should be strong.
Very rarely if this is mixed later.
The good smell when you bake red fish also comes from rice.
It's difficult for me to season it, but I think it would be better to cook it together. "
I see.
"However, it is better to prepare the cooking of the stock earlier and mix the grated fish after cooking, but I think it will convince me."
Takeo says.
"Hmm... that's hard.
But the latter is also better for many people.
It seems to be uniform. "
The cook nodded.
