634 Training Days ③ - Big Tasting Party

Even more days pass, and it is the twenty-first day of the white moon.

It's day five since Michelle started researching Chinese noodles in the wake of Kimmus' oil tricks.

It was a street holiday that day, but a lot of kadoku turns pressed on Fa's house in the morning.

Of course, we didn't get together on our own, I asked for help.

That was to get the stock taken, with Gibba and Kimmus bone gallows.

In the previous period, I was stuck with the completion of the whole day with regard to Chinese noodles, so I came to talk about tasting it with superb soup.

but taking bone gala stock just for tasting is a pretty luxurious story. Especially since Gibba's Bone Gala requires a variety of ingredients to remove odors, it takes longer to finish than Kimmus's Bone Gala. If that were the case, he had settled on the conclusion that he would make a large amount of soup as a dinner for his nearby family.

So in Kamadu, Fa's house, bone gallows were to be simmered in full operation starting first thing in the morning.

It is the elites of Fou, Run, Sudra, Din and Lid who are engaged in that task. More people were scheduled to gather at tasting time, but so far two Kamadoku numbers had been gathered from each clan. Soup and Chinese noodles are also dispensed after the tasting, only for the six families to whom a fa has been added.

"When you're kind of simmering bone gallows, you remind me of the feast, and your chest bounces off"

It was Yun-Sudra who said so. From Sudra's house, of course, she was on top. From Din's house is Tour-Din, from Lid's house are the women who usually help with the stalls, and this one is also a familiar member.

"This is actually because you're making the same thing as a feast dish. Even if it's one item, my family is thrilled."

And the ladies of Lid also smiled and stated so.

By the way, there is no wage for this job. Instead, they take all the cost of the ingredients at Fa's house. This is quite expensive because I have prepared about a hundred ingredients for the smell removal, the skins of Kimmus for squeezing oil, and the ingredients for making Chinese noodles. but the parent Ai-Fa said, "I don't mind if I share the joy with my neighbor's family."

"After Jomtien, the people of Luu will come too, won't they?

"Yes. It was about wanting me to just taste it, so I invited it. And then there will be two of them from their families who are helping Fa with his work."

Such a big tasting party is a story that has never happened before. With Michelle's handy, more flavorful giva bone soup and my developed Chinese noodles, I was hoping to please the gathered crowd.

and the tone of the knock echoes there.

Just like a few days ago, Ai-Fa showed up with a guest.

"It's Asta. Sautti and Vera want to say hello."

I could see those people standing behind the Ai-Fa today because they had left the door open from the beginning.

but I can see not only the number of kama, but also the appearance of a young man. Two men and two women at a time, for a total of four.

"Asta at Fa's house, it's a hiccup. It's an old story, thank you for your help in the case of the Lord of the Woods and the people of the North."

A less familiar hunter smiles and says so. Probably, it's Sautti's family. The other three were looking at me in a very favorable way.

"Hi, I'm hissing. You're all staying at Fou and Lan's house, aren't you?

"Yes, about half a month from today, I plan to take care of you"

That was a newly arranged story in the last few days.

How dare Sauti's blood and Fou's blood lend each other a family?

"At the Parents' Conference, the people of Moribe talked about how they should interact more with their non-bloodline counterparts. Saruti should also show the norm as a chiefly muscle"

Dari-Sauti, it seems, stated so.

So Fou's house was chosen because there was originally an interaction between Dari-Sauti and Birdu Fou, and after all, the presence of Fa's house seemed to be involved. If my hands were free, I'd like to ask Sautti and Vera for a hand job.

"Thanks to all of us, we're starting to feel free to put our hands on new ingredients. Thank you very much."

Such a message was delivered to me.

I guess no one was different in those parental decisions. The four men and women standing in line on the spot all had a flamboyant look on their faces.

"Still, that smells amazing. What kind of dish is this?

And, as the women of Vera looked around at Kamadu's cabin, they spoke thus. This is but a bunch of women who have the work of a market for meat.

"This is stewing Gibba and Kimmus bone gala. There will be a tasting session at noon, so if you like, you can do it then."

After I answered like that, I was supposed to lean my neck.

"By the way, the next city will open soon, won't it? Will you continue your market work while you stay here?

"Ah, yes. Fou and Lan also have some skillful women in calculations, and I hope you can give them a hand from there… We are going to ask the Ravits to accompany us when we head to the lodging town"

And for some reason the women were blushing their cheeks.

She is still unmarried and is a bunch of women about 16 or 7 years old. The other three watched as they smiled warmly.

"Then at noon we shall send again only the ladies. I'm sorry to interrupt your work."

With those words, the people of the Sauti bloodline left.

Then some time later, the Fou women laugh at me.

"Actually, Asta. When Fow's house had market work, my brother often served as an escort... and that's when he had the opportunity to connect with Sauthi's blood."

"Oh, the takeover period, we were down to Inn Town together, weren't we? What's wrong with that?

"No, I just think my brother was terribly happy to hear that those women were coming from Vera"

Then the women of the run also began to laugh when they dull.

"You also said that the Sauti humans are to be kept at Fou's house, and the Vera humans are to be kept at Run's house, but you can't reverse that, etc. Again, the parental muscles are the parental muscles, and the words didn't seem to be heard."

"Not at all, as long as you're ashamed of your crude brother"

In short, are we talking about the men of Fou and the women of Vera, each of whom was to see the other? That was quite a story that could not be forbidden to surprise.

"That's... that's amazing when it comes to giving you a wedding at Fou and Vera"

"Yes. Rutim and Dom are mostly the families of the Chieftains, but we are not. Whether or not such a story will truly come true… I, along with my parents, would also like to watch the end of my brother"

Then the women of Din also gave a bright voice, "Heh."

"Not only are we talking about Joo-Run and Yumi, but are we talking about that with the Sauti bloodline? Congratulations, my parents may have heads."

"Right. But the parents laughed at the end of the day, wondering if this was the result of deepening ties with Fa's house."

That's what I said, the Fou women smiled and looked back at me.

"By welcoming Asta, born exotic, to her family, Fa's house has become so powerful. Nor should Fow's house be afraid of change... and his parents said so."

"Really? I think Birdu-Fow is a really fine man."

Indeed, it must be a phenomenal event for the smaller clan to give weddings with the people of the boarding town and the clan of the chieftaincy. As a parent who had to lead all his family to a bright end, it was supposed to be a lot of hard work.

(But I'm sure it won't turn out badly. The people of the woods are such a gathering of innocent minds)

With that in mind, I decided to encourage Gibba bone ash removal.

◇

Thus, it is noon.

Three moments down, to be exact. At last, a large crowd of kamadoku noodles were to be pressed against Fa's house when the seaweed between Giva bone soup and Chinese noodles had been completed.

From the house of Lou comes Raina-Lou and Sheila-Lou and Limi-Lou and Lara-Lou, as well as Michele and Mime for the guests. Limi-Luu and Lara-Luu apparently won this seat at the Grandpa Games at the Luu family.

And two ladies from Gaz, Matua, Ratz, Meme, Beim, Dagola, Ravitz and Naham, who are involved in the business of Fa's house, also visit and invite the people of Havilla, Dana, Sauti and Vera. In addition to the 10 people who were originally in the cabin and me and Tia, the total was 42.

In the meantime, ask the guests to sit in the rug prepared in front of the cabin and wait. In the meantime, we were supposed to prepare dishes for tasting.

Blend Giva and Kimmus bone gala stock to match sauces made with tau oil, sugar or Nyatta distilled liquor, etc. As for its stock, Gibba was more heavily fired white water tailored, and Kimmus was more lightly fired fresh water tailored.

Pair these soups with even Giva lard and Kimmus oil, so if it's traditional white water only stock, the oil content becomes too strong. White water originally contains a lot of oil because it is cloudy by the emulsification of bone marrow and fat dissolved in high heat.

So I decided to finish with fresh water, only Kimmus' bone gala. By lightening your drink, I managed to fold it with the oil.

Past Jomtien, after the bone gala stock was finished, I left the making of the Chinese noodles to the other kamadu numbers, and I was in a relationship with Tour-Din to complete the formula. Surely this would not have been a task that could have been done in production on the day of the feast. For what it's worth, we were able to complete a satisfactory new giva bone soup.

In the soup thus completed, boil the Chinese noodles, which are the fruit of these few days, and put them in.

This one was also able to significantly review the fuwano, poitan and quimus eggs, plus the water, salt and egg shell portions, to make it quite close to ideal.

"Now, we'll distribute it from what we can. This will lose flavor over time, so the recipient asks for an immediate taste"

I felt like a ramen shop owner and boiled the noodles one after the other.

It's only a tasting, so this is a big job because it's 50 grams per person at most and which portion, but still 42. Throw the noodles into an iron pan and turn the hourglass upside down, transferring the finished portion to a wood dish. In other Kamadu, Tul-din and Yun-Sudra had the same job for me.

In order to keep the fire cooked in the morning, the heat is stuck in Kamado's cabin. In the meantime, we finished the dishes one after the other, wearing hand tugs around our necks and taking care not to sweat down the dishes.

From outside Kamado's cabin, we hear voices of people who can't even cheer. Encouraged by that, we quietly engaged in our work.

It was fitting that the intruder came there when he finally saw the end of the work.

"Asta, it's not over yet -? Sisters Raina, she's nagging because she wants to share her thoughts. Okay?

As can be seen from the words, the intruder was Rimi-Lou.

Throw the new noodles in the iron pan, flip the hourglass, and then I'll make you laugh.

"I wonder if the rest is about what we eat. How did Limi-Lew feel?

"It was so delicious -! I don't know, it just feels a little different after all!

Beyond the white hot air, Rimi-Lou is smiling all over his face. He was a soothing smile at the struggle he had had in the morning.

"It smells good to be fluffy, of course. And why is it shaped like that?

"That's just a little bit of hand wrapping before you boil it. Then the texture seems to change again."

It's called shrunken noodles. Then, they have theories about how the soup teases a lot, and vice versa, the soup is hard to tease. Whatever its authenticity, I incorporated a method to shrink it in order to emphasize the texture of Chinese noodles.

The thickness is slightly thicker than when the noodles are baked, is it a good idea to have about medium thick noodles? It was also my best solution, arranged after thinking about compatibility with the soup.

"Well, you're waiting outside! Tool-din, you're annoying too!

Saying cheerfully, Rimi-Lou quickly dispersed.

So the Fou women, who had the caterer, laugh.

"You have three more plates to take out. The rest seems to be ours."

"Really? Good luck, everyone."

"No. It's really like a feast, it's a pleasant comfort"

I guess the buzz of people on the table applauds such thoughts. Even I'm stuck in a kamadu cabin, and I can feel a lot of heat.

That's how it boils up to the last noodle, and the three plates are carried outside.

The remaining twelve meals were our share.

"Look, I've got a tier's share, too. It won't add to your belly, but eat if you like."

"Mm-hmm. I've been getting bellies since just now."

Tia laughed happily and received the wood plate.

The other Kamadokus are smiling around at me.

"Now, before we hear what the people on the table think, let's have a taste, too. Good luck, everyone."

Although the original portion is about 50 grams, when it is boiled, it swells with water, so about 30% is increased. In order to make a huge difference in texture, this rate of hydrogenation also led to a trial and error in the amount of salt and water during the noodle making phase.

The cloudy soup is clearly stretched with oil membranes.

After enjoying the fragrance, I rinsed the noodles in.

Strong, definite texture. On the other side of the rich soup, you can also feel the unique flavor like Chinese noodles. As far as I'm concerned, I was confident that I was sufficiently differentiated from pasta.

The noodles and soup are soggy. However, the salt gas hasn't strengthened that much. It is the result of a search for the best for fellow forest brethren who prefer strong dishes while not overflavoring them.

Still, if this is all the stock, I have a strong impression that it is rich after all. It also had the effect of Kimmus oil, which was felt extraordinarily tastier than the previous Giva bone soup pasta.

(Oh, this is not too bad, it's ramen. I could finally make ramen by the woods)

Originally, I preferred a pork bone ramen as much as I wanted to add to the "Sagittarius" menu. Discussing Edo's enemies in Nagasaki - that may not have been a very appropriate expression, but anyway, I decided to tease that tasting with the same comfort that I had once had in mind.

"Oh, it's so delicious. We can taste this dish this evening."

The Ladies of the Run described it that way in a smudged voice.

"The delightful faces of my family seem to come to my attention. Thank you so much, Asta."

"No, it's this way to thank you. It's rather difficult for me to take stock of bone gum alone."

Yeah, that's why I'm supposed to have such a big tasting session involving my neighbors. It was also such an expression of gratitude that received the price of the ingredients.

"Shall we then go and see what everyone on the table thinks? I'm looking forward to hearing what you think."

So when we stepped out of Kamado's cabin, a lot of people pushed at me.

Raina-Lou, who was at the head of it, turns to me with a serious, unobtrusive face.

"Asta, it was delicious. I think it's possible to make this soup in the Lew family... but I think I finally understand why Asta is so obsessed with it."

"Yes. With just a hint of flavor and a hint of texture, you end up cooking differently in this way. I think it was a brilliant harmony, reminiscent of Varcus"

It was Sheila-Lou who inherited the word as such. Rimi-Lou is at its feet, grinning.

"If you surround yourself like that, Asta will be in trouble, too. Why don't we move to a bigger place?

and the elderly ladies who visited from Rats, smiled and opined as such.

The people who don't get excited fall back in disgrace. In the meantime, eleven people who accomplished this job scattered all over the place and each decided to ask for their thoughts.

The Raina-Lou's are snuggling up on me perfectly, and Lara-Lou shrugs her shoulders and heads toward Tour-Din. And Michelle and Mime approached me as I crowded.

"Asta! It was so delicious! I just imagined how delicious it would be if I put meat and vegetables in that one, and it's going to turn my eyes!

First of all, Mim will state it that way.

Instead, Michelle was sniffing "Humph".

"You were a dish I'm not sure if it was lavish or delicate. Well, I know the difference from before."

"Yeah! The dish itself has a powerful finish, but the handiwork of assembling it feels so delicate! It's like magic to just use Kimmus oil and egg shells to change your impression so much!

Since then, Mim has turned to me again.

"The confidence gained from creating new dishes is going to squeeze again. Asta is really amazing!

"No, no, I've told you before, I'm just looking to recreate my hometown dishes. It can't be that big of a deal because it's an example and it's done."

"Hmm. There's no such thing as a cook without an example in the world. I follow the example of the dishes I've spoken of in Castle Town, so there must be no difference between you and me."

That's what I said, and Michelle's been looking at me a lot.

"If you're not a big human being, other cooks will be able to devalue you. Be as humble as you are."

"Yes, I'm afraid so"

I'm sure this is also an encouragement to Michelle. I was sincerely proud to have such a word for as many cooks as Michelle.

"Asta, how can you cook as much as you just did, too?

And it came to pass that one lady asked, behold, it was an absurdity.

I don't know your name, but it's the women of Gaz. The ladies who are helping me with the stall business shine their eyes on expectations next to them.

"In Gaz, you haven't mastered the treatment of bone gallows yet, have you? If you can prepare the ingredients for the smell removal and the firewood used in the preparation there, it is possible to make it easy on holidays."

"Really! If it is for such a delicious dish, let me persuade my parents!

"But it's gonna take a long time to finish that sup, right? Do you want to annoy Asta?

The other ladies looked a little worried, so I let them answer, "It's okay."

"I don't have much chance of taking stock with my own hands either, so it would be a good training if I could multiply the numbers. Besides, I would love to help all my compatriots taste this dish."

"Then we would also like to be handled"

And it was the women of Sauti who came to greet me in the morning who had raised their voices from the side.

"Next time, then, let's get you all together in the morning. Plus, I'm going to rub some Chinese noodles for dinner, so if you like, take a tour of them too."

A very large number of women were to wish to participate in the offer. For those who have not attended the study group in the last few days, the Chinese noodles themselves have been an unknown dish.

Mastering giva bone soup takes time, and there are limited opportunities to actually work on it. but if it is a chinese noodle, it can be used for simple dishes such as baked noodles, so it would be highly versatile. Also, if you are a person who has already mastered the making of pasta, you should be able to wear it immediately.

The Tour-Din and Yun-Sudra are also in question here and there. In addition, Malfira-Naham and others were out of the circle, weeping alone.

Even if Malfira-Naham was overreacting, none of them seemed indifferent to Gibba bone ramen. I was able to finish the tasting that day with a definite response.

◇

"Well, it looks like Gibba Bone Ramen was a delight to everyone in his family."

At night, while boiling the Chinese noodles in my mother's house, I let her talk like that.

"It was just a soup and noodles tasting, but it was more echoive than I ever imagined. After all, Giva Bone Stock seems to suit the tastes of the forest people."

"It will naturally suit the preferences of the people by the woods because it is a dish that literally squeezes the vitality of Gibba to the bone marrow. That's something I've always known."

Answering that way, Ai-Fa is softening herself this evening. Finally, the ban on giva bone ramen has been lifted, and expectations cannot even be met.

Although I finished my tasting first, this is the first dinner I've ever had to make a finished product with all the ingredients. I was waiting for the sand on my hourglass to fall, even though I felt better.

At his feet, an iron pan of stock, which had been on fire until earlier, was covered and seated. The seasoned sauce and topping ingredients are also ready, and all you have to do is wait for the noodles to boil up.

And today I also prepared pot meat full of roasted dumplings and vegetables, but that's just a side dish. I'm not ready for a baked Poitan, and I was hoping to get my belly filled with a ramen to keep this night.

"All right, the sand's about to fall out"

I quickly split the stock into a large deep dish and put a tau oil-based sauce in there.

Stir it up and also add Giva lard and Kimmus oil. Lard quickly dissolved and strained his membrane on the surface of the soup, along with the golden Kimmus oil.

Afterwards, make sure the hourglass sand has fallen off, and then pull the noodles up unravelly. When I carefully cut the water, I threw the noodles on the three plates.

The toppings are Giva char siu, nanal and onda, and braised eggs finished in brown. I'm putting the chashu down so it should be referred to as the chashumen to be exact.

Now the food is done.

I asked him to put the plate down in front of Ey-Fa and Tia, who were waiting for me.

"Please wait. Enjoy it before it cools."

Ai-Fa uttered the pre-meal wording at the usual pace so as to keep her from feeling like doing it.

After that, quickly put your hands up to the plate. but when he looked at me, he narrowed his eyes a lot.

"… will Asta eat this dish as well"

"Yeah. Even by the black fuwano, I used chopsticks, didn't I? As far as I'm concerned, this one's easier to eat."

Ai-Fa then took the chopsticks herself, just as she did the other day when she baked the noodles.

"Are you all right? I think this dish is more challenging than a grilled noodle."

"Hmm. Me and I have been training all year."

Ai-fa, who used to have his own chopsticks, has been holding them the same way I do these days. Still, I was a little worried about whether it was really possible to soothe the ramen.

In conclusion, however, it was a matter of concern.

Having held up his first deep dish, Ai-Fa succeeded in soaking it up when it drifted without being able to escape the noodles.

That's how I rinsed one mouthful of noodles, Ey-Fa, opened his eyes slightly.

And when I think I chewed off the thick-sliced char shoe, I start to rinse my lid eyes. The enthusiasm made me feel relieved to stroke my chest.

"I think you liked it, I'm glad."

Ai-Fa has been screwing with me for a while, but I kept scraping the ramen as if I would spare the trouble of uttering the words.

The other tier keeps the plates on the rug, capturing the noodles with a wooden spoon and a duplicity of forks. The forehead appeared to be bitter, but the person was obviously eating ramen.

After I see you two like that, I scrub the noodles again, too.

The condition of the noodles and the appearance of the soup have not changed from a daytime tasting. But after all, the deliciousness was doubled if eaten with ingredients headed by Chashu.

The addition of Kimmus oil increases the depth and flavor. Rich soup on the mochi medium thick noodles teases me and I can't wait to taste it. The boiled eggs simmered in the same sauce as Chashu were also a delight for Kaishin while I was there.

"Oh, yeah. I'm preparing Myrmu's sleigh and Pico's leaves in the back, if you like -"

And when I laid eyes on Ai-Fa, I was to be quite surprised. Ai-fa had eaten all the way up to the soup to a ski that I took my eyes off a little.

"Also, are you done eating? Amazing speed."

"… sticky, not surprisingly"

Ie-Fa breathed very satisfactorily when he drank out the glass of water.

Then, I'll take a good look at me.

"But you're not even ready for the baked poiton today. Assuming that this cuckoo is a replacement for Poitan, I think the quantity is slightly lower..."

"Oh, yeah, I have another cup to prepare for Ey-Fa and Tia. Before I do, I have to boil the noodles again."

Ai-Fa shone his face brightly, but soon noticed Tia's gaze and gave him a solemn look.

"Now, until you're done eating, let's wait while we eat the other dishes. Eat slowly."

"Yeah, thanks for your attention"

I laughed at Ai-Fa with a great sense of accomplishment.

"In the meantime, I'm glad you seemed satisfied with Ey-Fa as well. Even for me, it was quite satisfactory."

"Mm-hmm. It should be as delightful a dish for the people by the woods as it is for the Gibba Bone Supu Calf. That's what turned it into a more delicious dish, so it would make a lot of my countrymen happy."

That being said, Ai-Fa narrowed her eyes so that she could see far away.

"The neighbor's family was supposed to be eating the same dish this evening, right?

"Yeah, I made this dish for the six families that have the harvest festival together."

"Then our friends should be biting off the same joy these days"

Sarris Run-Fou and Aim-Fou, Birdu-Fou and Lyelpham-Sudra, Thur-din, Yun-Sudra, Rad-Lid, Joo-Run - more than 80 of their compatriots are eating the same dishes in their respective homes, together with their respective families. That made my chest hot, too.

(Of course, it would be a great pleasure to have street guests and people from Castle Town... after all, I am the happiest to be happy with my Ai-Fa and fellow forest folks)

And I believe it's never a contradictory mood. I'm just wondering if I would be happy if I could share this joy with more people that I could share with Ey-Fa and my compatriots.

"At Easter, you'd open a stall at night, wouldn't you? I wonder what would happen if I sold this giva bone ramen."

When I mentioned it that way, I - Fa tipped his nook, "Hmm."

"I don't mind that at all, but the idea was that this kind of laborious dish is not worth selling?

"Yeah. If it's true, I'll have to put that fee on the price, too. But I was wondering if it would be acceptable to set a price that would cost us a little money if it were an exclusive Easter dedication."

"Stick around, earning copper coins isn't your primary purpose, so don't worry about it. Don't complain with the Chiefs."

After stating so, Ai-Fa smiled fluffily.

"Nevertheless, isn't Easter and the like still months away? You want to boast that you have the power to look ahead, like Gazran-Rutim, and you?

"Don't get in trouble for your reaction when you're sarcastic with such a gentle face"

I laughed and put an empty plate on the rug.

"Then you can rub a second cup. Now if you'd like, try the Meermoo and Pico leaves on the back."

Ai-Fa nodded, "Uhm," with a gentle smile on his face.

That's how the five days of research into Gibba bone ramen came to a successful end.
