The bedroom of Takeo and Alice.
The tea time after dinner, bathing, etc. is also finished, and the usual tea time before going to bed.
"Yes, Takeo.
Best regards,
This is the attached drawing. "
Chibikonoha puts the documents in front of Takeo.
"Konoha, I'm just going to sleep now, so please do this at work or in the morning.
Or was it good when we were talking about Smith and his companions going to the demon kingdom? "
"Nh... the quote came after noon, and the story was exciting.
You don't have to show it to the Count.
I know I have to be seen by Takeo. "
"Well, do you want to look inside for now?
Is this... a warehouse drawing? This is an estimate of how to build... "
Broaden the drawings and quotes written by Takeo's first snow.
"Yeah, I asked Alice before.
I don't know. "
"Yes... it's expensive, but it's cheap."
"Ah... that's strange to say.
It's a stockpile, and I think it'll cost you that much. "
"Yeah, it's a stockpile, right?
I think the construction period mentioned in the quote is short, but what is it here? "
"You didn't say anything.
I asked for a quote based on the drawings made by Hatsuki-chan and the conditions I heard from Konoha, and this came. "
Alice says.
"Hmm... I see.
Miso making room and sake making room, koji making room in the middle of both rooms...
The koji on the rice I bought from the Demon Kingdoms, exactly from the Kingdom of Briani. "
"Yeah, I'm going to cultivate it and mix it with soy and rice.
If you use the same koji, does it look like one of them will hit you? "
"Well, is it the same as rice koji...
What percentage of rice is sake? "
"I would say 35% of Daiginjo... but considering the current condition of the wood mould, I think maybe 60% or 55% is the limit.
You might be able to narrow the gap, but if you polish it up to 35%, it looks like it'll crack...
I'm going to try to make 60% for the first time. "
"What happens if the rice percentage is 55%?"
"Hmm... I wonder if it's about special pure rice sake.
I don't know how to taste without trying to make it.
It's definitely easier to drink than regular alcohol. "
"Well... the taste depends on the rice variety and the sauce.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do.
How about miso and soy sauce? "
"Rice koji is the same, so did you boil soybeans and mix salt and rice koji... at Takeo's place?"
"My grandfather made miso at home.
In the morning, soybeans are simmered, boiled, drained, transferred to a large barrel while hot, and mixed while stepping in salt and rice koji.
Barefoot. "
"Amazing grandpa."
"My grandfather said, 'I don't become an aquatic bug every year because I sterilize it with rice koji and boiled juice', but that's probably a lie.
Maybe he was eating his grandfather's aquatic worm. "
"I can't say anything.
How long have you been making it? "
Six or seven 30L bottles.
For one year.
Didn't you make take-outs? "
"I've helped you a few times since my grandfather died.
I bought soybeans, rice koji and salt at a shop. "
By the way, barefoot?
"... the heat of that broth and soybeans can't be tolerated barefoot.
I was walking on a pair of shoes designed specifically for making miso.
At first, I can normally step on it, but if it is crushed and mixed, my feet won't go up like in the field.
Besides, I remember getting sweaty in the first 10 minutes because the heat travels even when I wear boots.
So, how does Konoha crush and mix soybeans? "
"U-chan will step on you."
Konoha said it with a natural face.
"... Konoha, aren't you stepping on the tip?"
"Even if I step on it, it won't work.
U-chan is a god of plenty of crops, so isn't it profitable? "
"Indeed.
Miso made by the Goddess of Toyosaku on her own feet... it seems to be of some benefit. "
Takeo thinks and says.
"Am I right?
So let's get you into hot soybeans. "
Konoha stretches her chest.
"... Konoha, if that's true, wouldn't Konoha be blessed with a child?"
Alice leans her neck and says.
"Ah... Alice, putting my soup in won't help."
Konoha said with a cold sweat on her face.
"Well, it's rare for a goddess to make miso in the first place.
Would you like to make one to commemorate? "
Takeo asks Konoha.
"... yeah, there's still time to implement it, and I think I'll figure out how to make it without stepping on it.
Do you want to join Takeo? "
"Let's think about how we can make it well.
That said, it's not right now.
Put it in the corner of your head and think about it when you have free time. "
Takeo remembered the taste of miso and the like while talking to Konoha and the others.
