285 Six Days of the Blue Moon ① - Each Way

Six days after Sim's encounter with astrologer Alishna, the sixth day of the blue moon.

After leaving the stall past Jomtien, me and Raina-Lou were walking wide through the Inn Town carrying a smaller flat pot.

The contents of the pan are "Giva Curry".

Since the work for the welcoming party and the simultaneous prototyping, and thus this dish has also produced a satisfactory flavour, we have again tried to bring our innkeepers their thoughts.

However, it was not the familiar inn that headed first, but the shop called "Grace Pavilion of Tanto".

This is the largest inn in the town, and Count Dalaim's head chef Jan has been keeping the restaurant's cook for a few days since last month.

By the way, Tanto seems to be the name of the biggest river that moisturizes this Genos. There must be a connection somewhere between the river of rants that runs by the woods.

"Welcome, Lord Asta. I've been waiting for you."

Jan, who looked at the crackle a little bit, is still bowing her head today.

His eyes floated with a glimmer of light.

"With all due respect, are you with Lord Asta? You don't look like the women by the woods."

"Yes, you happened to visit the stall, so I thought it might be just the right opportunity... this is Michelle's daughter and her name is Mim"

As I say, Mim bows her head well.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you all of a sudden. I also wanted to be a cook, so I really wanted to go with him. If it bothers you, I'll disappear immediately."

"Really? I don't care if you're Michelle's... I'd be honored if Michelle's daughter could eat my dishes."

Jan also developed a new dedication, so she was supposed to hold a tasting of your dishes today.

So, Jan was also one of Michelle's most respectful cooks, so I wanted to pull mime together after that.

"Please wait in your seat. Let's try my dishes first."

"Yes, thank you"

I'll be seated with both of you.

I have visited several times before, but the size of the dining room is still not a great deal in parallel. Compared to the mid-sized Kimmus Tail Pavilion, the inn will be about twice the size.

However, less guests look like any other inn during the day. Daytime snacks are a stall in the outdoor area, and evening meals are in the dining room of the inn. It is common for visitors to the inn town.

"... excuse me"

and the dishes for the number of people are arranged, along with the voice of your less hectic daughter.

I looked back to thank you, and I said, "Is that it?" and gave a shout of surprise.

"You're only Nicola, who's come to say hello before, aren't you? You've been helping us, not just the stalls."

"... yes," he still responds with an unfathomable voice, while just pulling in.

I didn't really look like I was enjoying this job.

"You're kind of a much more obnoxious woman. For once, is that one from Castle Town too?

Mim is whispering in my ear, so I say, "Yeah."

"But you must be the daughter who worked at Count Dalaim's mansion in Castle Town.... but was it so refreshing?

With all due respect, all I could see was your daughter looking strong over there. Either way, it could have been a puzzling impression.

"Um, I'm not talking about temperament or anything, but about standing and feeling like a skin that made me look like an aristocratic princess...... but never mind. You can't count on my eyes."

When I say that, my eyes are a pit.

Speaking of which, Rimi-Lou once said "someone who looks sad" and so on. Maybe she's your daughter who changes her impressions depending on the person she sees a lot.

"Thank you for waiting. This will be my dish."

Now Jan will come back with a wooden plate.

On the table, a juice dish and a boiled dish were prepared for the number of people.

It's a tasting, so the quantity is smaller.

"We use Shima and Chang for this juice"

A sweet scent familiar to sniff tickles the nasal cavity.

It has a scent of cinnamon and herbs that I used in the street dishes before.

There is a sunken one that chopped Shima in a circle when Dikon was there, and one that broke Chang in two when Zucchini was there.

A piece of meat simmered in brown would surely be caron's foot meat. It is roughly shaped, but it seems carefully simmered and very soft.

The color of the soup is milky white and I think she uses caron milk.

"To simmer, we use jagal mushrooms and ma ghigo"

Your dish seemed to have Kimmus breasts simmered with tau oil and vanilla.

As an accompaniment, Ma Guigo is used for mushrooms like Bunashimeji and for satoimo.

"Now, let me give you a taste"

I picked up the wooden spoon and rinsed the juice dish soup first.

Contrary to the scent, it is not sweet. It tastes like tom yamkung, with a tingly spicy and sour taste. I'm sure it combines several types of vanilla. Coupled with the mellowness of caron milk, it's not hard to drink at all.

There's plenty of stock out of Caron's foot meat, and it's a dish that pretty much stimulates the appetite center.

However, when I think about whether Sima and Chang deserve this dish, I want to lean my neck a bit.

At the same time, the boiled product had a familiar depth that reminded me of Japanese food only a little bit.

Tau oil and I guess I use more than one vanilla for that. I don't have to feel some bitterness or earthly odor, but it doesn't feel that bad. Mushroom and vegetable choices also seem reasonable.

(But -)

My chest was full of suspicions I'd never had about Jan before.

This feeling, I wonder. Even though it's not as bad as the dishes Jan has cooked so far, it doesn't feel like it's going to stick to anything.

"How about that? I'd like your frank opinion."

Jan was looking at me quietly.

Jan also stands by the cause of distributing new ingredients to the Inn Town.

No, I and others have just responded to Marquis Genos's request with the idea that there is no harm in selling Giva dishes, but Jan's is totally all that's for it.

I thought, "Hmm."

"Well... if I may be frank... I think that this juicy dish would be better suited to Shima or non-Chan vegetables"

"Really? What kind of vegetables do you think Lord Asta deserves?

"Is that me? If I were you, Aria and Tino would want to add chum chums, mushrooms, etc."

A chum chum is an ingredient like a taco that I use in "Giba-Man" or something.

"Besides, this combination of vanilla makes dried seagrass and fish stock seem like a great match. I can't say for sure without actually trying."

"Is it dried seagrass or fish? I have no idea how user-friendly that ingredient is."

"There's nothing hard about it. I think people in the lodging town would love that ingredient, even if it wasn't for an extrajudicial price."

Jan slowly shook her neck to the side and then stared at me once more.

"I am very pleased that this is the first time Lord Asta has made that specific point. So, how about this one boiled?

"I also think this is a reasonable combination of mushrooms and vegetables. It's just... it's a little hard to explain, but I was wondering if there's still room for improvement in the vanilla combination."

"To combine vanilla?

"Yes, you're a little concerned about the bitterness and earthly odor... No, that's not what's destroying the flavor, but it makes me feel that uncomfortable, like I'm getting a mix of flavors that I don't have to"

By explaining it like that, I was able to find out who the discomfort was.

Without knowing it, I was comparing the dishes of Jan and Varcus.

Jan and Varcus, plus Roy and Timaro, don't make a big difference in how they cook. They all have the same taste and the same taste in the great muscles that I can feel.

So - I may have seen Jan's culinary "hole" in the comfort of being tasted its finished shape by Varcus.

Of course, maybe that's my big mistake.

It just didn't seem to me, "If it was Varcus, I'd fill the hole."

"… what do you think?

and Jan quietly looks around at the Raina-Lou's.

Rayna-Lew puts down the wooden spoon and stares straight back at you.

"It is not right for me, the people of the woods, to judge whether or not your cooking is delicious.... It just makes me feel like there's something missing or something extra in this vanilla combination, as Asta says"

"Is it still a combination of vanilla"

"Yes, with me, I have very little knowledge of vanilla, so I can't say for sure… Still, it didn't seem like there was anything missing or extra in that cook's dish called Varcus"

"There is no cook in Genos who is more hands-on than Lord Varcus about Sims' vanilla. I don't think that's what you think."

Jan nods and looks back at Mim.

Mim lowered her brow like she was in trouble, she said.

"In Turan and Inn Town, we seldom combine more than two types of vanilla. I teach my father that selling food in an inn town should not be too complicated to flavor."

"I see. I was too caught up in the thought of not using Sim's vanilla, and I may have gone the wrong way. I guess these dishes need a little improvement right now."

"Yes, no! I'm an apprentice, so don't take it so seriously!

"That's not true. All your words echoed in your breasts. I will weigh your words with my will."

That's how Jan breathes.

"The fact that the Castle Town cook keeps the cook initially made this store have a reputation as well, but lately it feels a little far-fetched. That is the proof left of my lack of strength. I would like to encourage further improvement in the future."

"No, but -" he said when I raised my voice, Jan controlled me by hand.

"It's fine. It's painful to be reminded of your immaturity at this age, but at the same time, I think it's a pleasure. Because I am still halfway down the road."

That's what I said, Jan smiled.

That could have been the first honest cook smile I've ever seen.

It was so Jan that it had no longer reached the primitive realm, but its narrowed eyes felt inhabited by a luminous twinkle of upliftment.

"But Lord Asta seems to be using a lot of vanilla in your dishes, too. I'm very excited to taste it."

"Yes. Then I'll borrow your cook."

It just warms up the finished product, so nothing is going to go wrong. I warmed up "Giva Curry" with Raina-Lou and split it it into three plates.

"Is it for three?

Jan, who took my place, asks me a lot.

I pointed my eyes at your daughter standing behind it.

"Yep. I have extra quantity ready, so Nicola can join me if you like"

Nicola is suspiciously narrowing her eyes.

but when Jan nodded, he sat silently.

"Wow, this is a vibrant scent!

Mim smiled and took the wood spoon.

This is the first time Mim has tried 'Giva Curry'.

Fulfilling - Mim said, "It's delicious!" He was enthusiastic.

"It tastes so strange, but so delicious! How many different kinds of vanilla do you use for this dish?

"Ultimately, eight. Finally, I was able to recreate the flavor I wanted."

The original five varieties were blended with three kinds of vanilla brought back from Count Turan's mansion, and I was finally able to complete the ideal 'Giva Curry'.

Imaginarily, an Indian curry unlimited to a Japanese curry, or something like that? The basics are seasoned according to the roasted Poitan, but I think it would be harmonious with rice.

The spiciness took Yumi's opinion into account, aiming to be about medium spicy, not too spicy.

Pretty dark-eyed brown, smell looks really spicy, etc.

The vegetables also add mushrooms like chan and mushroom this time to the classic aria, chach and eneon.

The meat is made from Giva rose meat and just a little ground meat.

And in addition to the roo made of vanilla, it also adds seasonings such as sugar, salt, tau oil, caron milk, milk fat and myrmu, and the fruits of tarrapa and rapam are melted together.

So finally, I was able to give this' Giva Curry 'the richness and mellowness I seek.

"Wow, it's hard. This!," a voice echoed with accusations at the lid.

It gathers the gaze of everyone on the spot, and Nicola bows her head at the top of the Buddha, "... if you'll excuse me," he said.

"It's hard indeed. However, I can't imagine using as many as eight different herbs, and the flavor feels harmonious. How can Lord Asta skilfully use vanilla so far?

That's how Jan has asked, almost bewildered her face.

"Um, I think that's probably because I aimed to recreate the dishes that originally existed in my hometown. I don't think I can really figure out how to combine vanilla without that kind of metric."

"Brilliant. This intense spiciness makes it difficult to discern, but I'm sure the stock of vegetables and meat creates this flavour.... Is Lord Asta going to sell this dish in the lodging town?

"Yes, I don't use that many novel ingredients besides vanilla, but I was wondering if it would help spread giva meat"

"I'm impressed. This dish is very delicious, with its intense aroma so far. There's no way this is going to be a reputation."

"What do you think? As far as I'm concerned, I still have some anxiety about how far people in the town can accept accommodation that doesn't taste complicated."

"I don't find this dish complex, because I don't think it uses as many as eight different herbs. … just so intense and delicious"

That said, Jan smiled at me again.

"I too am going to be irresistibly inspired. As long as you're ashamed of eating such an impossible dish. I also want to make my path as good as yours, Lord Asta."

◇

That's how we decided to leave Tanto's Grace Pavilion.

Out on the street, Mim looks back full of energy.

"Once again I was reminded of the power of Asta, too! I want to encourage you in the future!

"Thank you. Have you been used to handling Giva meat much longer, too?

"Yes! In the near future, I think we can complete a new dish. At that time, may I ask you to taste it again?

"Yeah, sure.... By the way, isn't Mim planning on opening a stall or something in Inn Town?

"Hmmm, that's how I want to try my best...... it's hard to think of it because if you devote too much time to business, the training time will be shredded"

Since I said that, Mim has been smiling.

"But renting stalls is a ten-day contract, right? If I can't contain my feelings, I'd like to open a store for just ten days."

"That's amazing. At that time, please be gentle."

For me, that was no mistake as important as keeping the cook on the same day as Varcus.

Mim smiled and laughed, "Well, thank you for today! I will go back home and continue my studies!" and run off the streets.

Then Raina-Lou gave him a chopping exhale, "Oh......"

"I'm kind of in a mood where I can't stand still either. Shouldn't I or Sheila-Lou be more trained all day like that girl?

"I don't know. I think it's a lot more exciting to go outside like this than to be stuck around for a long time."

"Really? As far as I'm concerned, I want to be by Asta's side for a day.... Oh, no, never in a funny way though!

and is Raina-Lou, whose face turns bright red with a hasty wave.

I laugh "haha" and deceive.

"But that's a true feeling. I couldn't say much, but I was jealous of Tour-Din, who acted almost all day."

"Oh well. But there's nothing to panic about. Raina-Lou and the others were able to raise their arms so far in just six months, we just have to keep up the good work at that rate."

That's what I told you while I was looking for my next inn.

"I thought, from now on, maybe the Rayna-Lew guys could also try to strike out their uniqueness"

"Uniqueness?

"Yes, for example," Sautéed Guiba Arabiata Style ", which is being wholesaled in the" Xuanrong Pavilion, "isn't it a spicy dish for the Raina-Lou people to serve a meal? We're supposed to be talking about a fall when we make dishes that we don't think are delicious."

"Yeah, but it's..."

"Yeah. There's only one side to that because it's business. But if we could please our customers with the same feeling that would please our family, then business would be as fun as ever? I don't know, every day is just so much fun... so I think that kind of fun can be linked to that kind of improvement."

Rayna-Lew held her mouth with a serious face.

To reward that seriousness, let me put my best feelings into words, too.

"Even street food would make 'Myrmu Grill' a stronger flavor than we like, wouldn't it? But that stall isn't me anymore, it's the Lew's stall. So instead of imitating my dishes, I guess I could sell my own dishes to the Rayna-Lew guys, and that's what I've been thinking lately."

"Our own dishes…"

"Yes. If you were Raina-Lou or Sheila-Lou, you'd think that's already enough of a skill."

Rayna-Lew is looking at me like I'm coming.

As I walked down the street, I nodded forcefully at you.

"You should also talk to Sheila-Lou. Because we're the only ones who can decide which way is right for us."

"... ok. Thank you. I am so honored to have Asta say so much."

That said, Rayna-Lew nodded back so forcefully that she couldn't beat me.
