CH 21

Bernie asked me during my late morning if I could sell him some crazy salt and honey.

I was willing to give it to him for free, but Bernie insisted on paying, so I decided to sell him the crazy salt and honey at a reasonable price.

Bernie would feel more comfortable that way.

“Ginjiro-chan, thank you so much~”

Clara’s smile soothed me again today.

I decided to rent the kitchen, giving her a bottle of honey as payment for the place.

“Though we are the ones who should have to pay for it~”

Clara says so, but for Ginjiro, the time spent making this meal is a joyous time.

“Today I’m making beef tongue with green onion salt. It’s a popular dish in my hometown.”

TLN: Negi Shio Gyū Tan = Beef tongue with green onion salt. Negi … which is it? Green onion/Scallion/Leeks…

First, chop a large amount of green onions.

Then add a little grated garlic and a sprinkle of crazy salt.

A little honey is thrown in as a secret ingredient to give it richness and depth.

I also wanted to add sesame oil, but since it was not available in another world, I substituted it with vegetable oil.

Squeeze lemon juice into the mix, and the leek salt sauce is ready.

Next, I took the beef tongue I had bought at the butcher shop out of the item box and prepared it.

It was the first time for me to do this, so it didn’t go so well, but Bernie helped me out and I was able to get it done.

Beef tongue is cut into thick slices by instinct.

Ginjiro felt happy, a luxury he could never afford when he was in Japan.

With the oven still burning, he put in the thick slices of beef tongue.

While the beef tongue was cooking, he prepared soup and salad with Lutz and Hanz.

After a while, the beef tongue was cooked and arranged neatly on a plate.

A large amount of green onion salt sauce is placed on top of it, and the green onion salt beef tongue is ready.

“I’ve never had beef tongue before~”

Clara has yet to discover the deliciousness of beef tongue.

When I put a thick slice of beef tongue with green onion salt in my mouth, it was tender and very juicy.

I only had it at a barbecue restaurant, but it was surprisingly easy to make.

“Ginjiro-san, this is delicious.”

The oldest son, Lutz, seems to like it.

Bernie is thinking about serving it at the dinning area.

“I think it would sell well with ale.”

Bernie said he would ask the butcher he always buys from if he could order beef tongue.

I suggest that he try different kinds of this green onion salt sauce, as it goes well with other meats.

It was interesting to talk with everyone, Ginjiro thought it was a thick slice, but it seems that it is not a thick slice because it is normal to grill chunk of meat in another world.

They don’t even slice the meat in the first place, so it looks strange.

They also said they had no idea that beef tongue tasted so good.

I’m full, so I make myself an after-meal cup of tea.

Of course, plenty of honey for Bernie.

The second son, Hanz, and the third son, Franz, have coke.

Lutz, the eldest son, watches Hanz and Franz, but he prefers tea.

After a pleasant and elegant time and everyone cleaned up, I decided to go for a walk.

Since I had no plans for the day, I bought some apples from a food stall and ate them as I walked.

I decided to stop by Manny’s music store.

“Hello Manny-san. It was fun the other day.”

“Ginjiro, how are you today?”

I had nothing special to do, but Manny seemed to have some free time, so he joined me for a talk.

“Is Ginjiro some kind of aristocrat?”

Manny suddenly asked me that.

“Do I look like an aristocrat?　I was in business in my hometown, but I had nothing to do with the aristocracy. I was once called a single aristocrat because I was single and could spend more money than married people.”

Ginjiro made a little joke, but a single aristocrat is not very common in this world.

Manny laughed at the idea of a single aristocrat, which is funny, because concubines and mistresses are very common.

“Let’s play again. And don’t forget to ask Elvis to join us. It’s rare for him to be so considerate.”

Ginjiro wondered.

Elvis is cheerful and friendly to everyone.

We became friends right away, but I think that was because Elvis was friendly.

Well, Ginjiro decided to let the matter pass and parted with Manny.

After walking for a while, I found the flower shop I had visited before.

When I entered the store, the beautiful woman from before greeted me, and on her chest was a necklace with a single power stone that I recognized.

When I look at the necklace made of different stones from Maria’s, the florist’s daughter notices my gaze and smiles happily.

Isn’t it good to know? Ginjiro, who had found out the secret, bought some flowers at random and left the place as if to escape.
