It is the seventh day of the blue moon.
From this day forward, the celebration of the weddings of Schmiral-Lilyn and Vina-Lou begins. The Lew family tonight, the Lilyn family tomorrow, and the Rutim family the day after tomorrow - along with the new couple's names and their parents, will tour the Blood House every seven nights. I didn't have the blood to see it, but I was finally able to realize that the wedding feast was imminent.
But before that, I've got a big job to do.
We must invite Fermes, and the nobles of Gerd, and Melfried, to dinner at Fah's house.
His eyes are on Gerd's noble Alvach eating my dishes. Everything was about him being quite a gastronomer, which made him so curious about a cook named me.
(I have no idea about Gerd's food culture.)
I suppose so, but it wouldn't be prying to haunt your head. Believing the previous information that neither the people of the mountains nor the people of the meadows had much difference in their dietary preferences, I had no choice but to prepare the best possible dishes.
(Rather, the problem is, Fermes is better, right? Serving only one dish with a different content means it won't fit into the woodland lesson...... the dishes that you serve to that person will have to be eaten by the i-fa's as well)
But well, Ai-Fa has also had several previous experiences in mouthing dishes that are not giva meat. Even if it is difficult to obtain heartfelt joy, it will be quite satisfying. That's what I have to cook. I decided to devise a dedication that night, adding the thought of not disappointing Ey-Fa to my motivational foundation.
But first, before we do that, we have to do our daily work.
Opening the stall and welcoming Jomtien, Dells and Wads, who said goodbye yesterday at the Lou family, came again.
"Welcome. How was dinner at the Lou's?
"Hmm. There were no extra people around for dinner, so there was no problem for once."
On the same Buddha top surface, Dels had freshly stated so.
Instead, Wads is laughing alot.
"It's a fun house over there. A lot of people are unfathomable, but that's what Dels is all about, too. Hey. The food is delicious, and I've been invited many times. Come on."
"That was above all. Speaking of which, what did you talk to the oldest?
"Stick around, I'm not talking about anything unusual. They ask me about Jagal, but I can't talk about anything unusual. Come on. Still, she sounds like she'll be happy to hear anything."
It was the wads that spoke that way that were a lot of fun faces.
"You can all be upright about the people by the woods. Aren't we better friends than the people of the West?
"Haha. I hope you get along with people from every country."
When I responded that way, Dels turned a grumpy glance at me.
"So today, I hear you're inviting those Shim dignitaries to your house. That's what the youngest brother of the Lew family told me."
"Yeah. There's a lot going on, and that's what we're talking about. Seems like a lot of high-profile people, so I feel tight, too."
"Hmm. All you have to do is feed on vanilla, such as the people of the east."
I guess it's a very common reaction around here, as a people of the south. Even if he was born and raised in a peaceful hinterland, Sims is an enemy of Jagal. If you put your foot up to the border, there should still be a territorial battle going on there.
(Speaking of which, I wonder how Dial and Arishna are)
I've been thinking about that.
I haven't seen you two lately here. Originally, it was about the top of the 10th or half month for Deal to visit the stalls, and I guess I'll be extra busy in the future because I'll have to cut my business in Genos by myself. And in Arishna, he rarely comes down to the Inn Town.
(Alishna's grandfather was banished from Sim because he is the lord of the territory, so he should never be in a relationship with the Gerd people. In case any certainty arises, around Malstein will do something about it)
As far as I'm concerned, I had to believe that.
Well, I hear from Shayla and the others who are delivering 'Giva Curry' to Alishna that nothing has changed for the time being. However, about twice in the past month, the story caught slightly that Fermes seemed to have visited Alishna.
(Fermes also called Alishna to the masquerade. From what he said and did, maybe the amazing astrologer is a great academic intrigue.)
Thinking of it that way, it also follows another worry.
Alishna and I haven't seen each other since the masquerade, so I wanted to hear more from her in person sometime.
That's how the stall business came to a successful end.
When it comes to this, there is no trouble. Customer entry is also excellent. That's how I cleaned up the stall and on my way to the Kimmus Tail Pavilion, Rayna-Lew called out "Um".
"After returning the stall, we are going to stay in the Inn Town for a while. I'm sorry, can you stay back?
"Yeah, I don't mind that, but what do the Raina-Lou guys do in Inn Town?
"Yes, I am thinking of visiting Nail and Zise to talk about Sim's feast dish. If there's anything that suits the mood of the people by the woods, I thought I'd incorporate it..."
I was heartily happy and stuck to say "thank you" and so on.
Rayna-Lew curls her eyes curiously.
"Why is Asta thanking me?
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm glad you're doing so much for Schmiral-Lilyn, but it's not my blood, and I'm wrong to thank you."
"No, that's not true..." Raina-Lou narrowed her eyes to see even the eyelids.
"... Asta really cares about Schmiral-Lilyn, doesn't she? Now Asta looked really happy."
"I guess. It's a little dazzling."
"Yes, just a little bit, I was jealous of Schmiral-Lilyn"
and is a grinning Raina-Lou.
Somehow, he smiled like he was having trouble responding.
After returning the stall as such, Raina-Lou and the others return to the path they came from even pulling their luggage. The members of Lew's stall are six justs, so there was no problem with only getting Mim on board here.
"Today, I hear the nobles of yesterday are at Fa's house. We talked about even till dinner... is Asta okay?
And, as I got into Gill's luggage truck, Mim has been asking me that.
He had a lot of worrying faces, so I smile back.
"I just don't have to be nervous, but you don't seem to be rougher people than I thought. I'll try my best to interact with the Gerd people I've never met before."
"Really? Asta is amazing. I get nervous just thinking about serving dinner to you."
After stating so, Mim grinned.
"After all, I seem to be sexually fit to sell food in the lodging town. I can't imagine myself serving food to your loved ones in Castle Town."
Mim's smile was so innocent that I decided to smile and respond, too.
Mim is still an 11-year-old girl. No matter how talented you were, it's natural that you want to care more about living with your family and people close to you than standing up as a cook.
(But I wonder what the mimes are going to do in the future. If we keep this up, we're going to celebrate our first anniversary as guests of the Lew family)
And to Zida and Barsha, more than a year has already passed. Of course, as far as I'm concerned, I'd like you to stay by the woods forever - I hadn't really talked to them like that, so I didn't even care.
(Well, even Yumi might be dowry by the woods. Shmiral on the skin, more people could be a family by the woods from outside in the future)
With that in mind, I decided to head to the woods.
Saying goodbye to Mim and Yamil-Ray in the settlement of Lou and taking the path to the house of Fa, the Matua women speak with a bounced voice.
"Asta, you're training for wedding feast cooking today, right?
"Yeah. It's only seven days till the wedding feast anyway. Between today and the wedding, I decided to stop my usual study sessions and my personal training and concentrate on feast dishes."
Mother Meer Ray wanted me to thank her for preparing something for the feast.
"It's just that we haven't finished the special dishes we dedicate to Schmiral-Lilyn and Vina-Lou, so we talked about working on that the day we were supposed to have a study group at the Lou's, right? Rayna-Lew said she wanted to make that dish with me."
"So you're going to be training at Fa's house all the time on other days, right? I'm looking forward to the wedding, as well as that!
"Haha. It was worth giving her the name of wanting to be at the feast again."
Initially, unmarried men and women at least fifteen years of age take precedence over guests who are invited to a feast. but this Matua lady, who is only thirteen years old, has given her the name of wanting to attend a feast every time, and she is successful at it.
"So how many families were going to the feast this time?
"Uh, seven of them, Fa, Sudra, Din, Matua, Rats, Baim and Naham. In short, I wonder if it will take the form of electing a representative of the blood clan from the clan who is helping to commerce the stalls"
It would be disrespectful to pack a large number of people into the wedding of a non-lineage opponent, and he settled for such a result. It was supposed to be a weighted decision on how to interact with Vina-Lou that a family without parental muscles was chosen. This Matua lady must have made a breakthrough around it, too, to get her rights ceded from the parent guzzle.
"So training in banquet cooking comes with those seven, right? I'm kind of excited!
The Ladies of Matua are only uncontrolled. That's right, alongside Yun-Sudra, the moodmaker in our stall. I could easily imagine that innocent smile on my face, too, as I looked forward to driving.
While we have that conversation, the luggage car arrives at Fa's house.
First in the motherhouse, say hello to Sarris Lang-Fou. When I thought of it that way and opened the doorboard, Tia was walking around the hall.
"Hey, Tia. Looks like you're doing a lot better."
"Mm-hmm. Actually, I fell off earlier. At that time, I had a terrible pain in my back, and then suddenly my body became lighter."
To Tia's words, Sarris Run-Fou smiled with regret.
"I was there too, but I couldn't help Tia. Is Tia okay with moving around like this?
"Hey, what do you think? Tia, are you in pain now?
"Mm-hmm. I feel like it hurts, but the pain that I can pull away."
As she walked, Tia grinned. It's like when I was mopping my fur with Lau-Ray, Aim-Fou follows me around.
"So I thought, maybe the meat cut off by steel was tangled up in the abalone on the way to try to stick to the lump. Until now, that hurt like meat cramped, but didn't it mean that the slip peeled off with a fallen bounce and the pain disappeared......?
It was something I was just asking about and it was going to hurt my back to this one.
But I don't have any medical knowledge, and I don't know how far this world of medicine is going. Perhaps the most dependable was Tier's intuition, which seems to leave a strong biological instinct behind.
"Whatever it is, the pain is gone. From now on, little by little, I'm going to start training to regain strength in my body. This is how easy it is to move, so I don't even think we need to watch Sarris Lang-Fou anymore."
After stating it that way, Tia turned to Sarris Run-Fou.
"You took care of me, Sarris Lang-Fou. I think you're a really sweet person. That's why I think I care about you, too."
"I'm not such a big person. … I'm glad you're feeling better, but it makes you feel a little rusty not being able to spend a long time like this"
"There is only one. Tiers can't even be friends.... but Tia will never forget the name of Sarris Lang-Fou until the day she returns this soul to the Great God"
Tia smiled with a grin.
It is such an innocent smile that it seems to irritate the tear glands just to look at it.
As Tia walked back, she gave Aim-Fou's little body a whiff.
"You too, Aim-Fou. Too bad I can't see how good a hunter you'll grow up to be."
Aim-Fou smiled at Tia for a moment and then with unbeatable innocence.
"Mm-hmm. Lifting the aim-fou doesn't hurt my back. Let me continue using the weight of Aim-Fou for my training."
Tia kept Aim-Fou in her arms and started walking around again.
I snuck under my eyes, then put down "Don't be too impotent," and closed the doorboard.
"Well, then let's start a study group"
When I pulled two baggage cars and headed to Kamadu's cabin, the smell of curry was coming from there. The women who helped me put the curry vegetables behind me. Thus, in front of Kamado's cabin, two women rested themselves in the shade of a tree.
"Thank you very much. Has everyone else left yet?
"Yes, a little while ago, I finished my job."
All that remained were the Rats women and Malfira-Naham, who were going to attend the study group. I, Yun-Sudra, Tul-din, Faye Baim and Matua were on street duty, and this is the full member of the wedding banquet.
"Well, let's get started. I'm going to unload my stuff now."
"Yes, we will help too.... but are you sure you're okay today?
What do you mean, it's okay?
"You're inviting the nobles to dinner today, aren't you? Aren't you going to need your training?
I shook my head "no" to the words of the women of Rats.
"I used my head to pick out the dedication, but I'm not going to stick around and prepare that novel dish, so it's okay. Besides, Yun-Sudra and Tour-Din will be able to help you prepare dinner."
"Huh? So you two are having dinner together at Fa's house?
Yun-Sudra nodded, "Yes" with a smile.
"That's what you learn by the woods. I'm willing to deal with the nobles, but I'm very happy to be able to have dinner with you at Fa's house"
"Well... I suppose I would have been jealous too if there had not been nobility"
The Rats ladies were smiling with a seemingly complicated face.
"The nobles are coming, five of them. After all, with that many people, does that mean Asta is in the hands of one person?
"Right. If we cut up the study group early, there's nothing more to it... than having a banquet cooking meeting. So we decided to use the help of Yun-Sudra and Tour-Din."
After I answered that, I turned to Tour-Din.
"But is Tour-Din really okay? Originally, today was a day to go hands-on to a settlement in the north, wasn't it?
"Ah, yes. If it's for training in banquet cooking, I think the Sphilla-Zazas will convince you too. He has always told me to give priority to you when I have something to do..."
Today was the day before the holidays, and that was the day Tul-din went out to the settlements in the north. But Tour-Din stayed here because he wanted to attend a banquet culinary meeting. Then he finally took it from me to see if he could help Fa's house for dinner.
"Thank you. If Tul-din and Yun-Sudra were here, it would be a hundred manpower."
To my words, Yun-Sudra smiled with joy, and Tour-din blushed with embarrassment.
I laugh at you and then I resume unloading.
So much less, I'm ready for the study group.
First of all, it's a meeting about what dishes to prepare. The idea of approximation had been developed, so I decided to let everyone hear my opinions.
"First of all, the Lew family also asks me to prepare a dish that doesn't use Giva meat. Needless to say, this was done when you realized about Fermes, the diplomat in the Wang capital. He himself said he didn't have to entertain guests from Castle Town, but he couldn't have just given them anything to eat."
"I see. But of course, you don't just cook for that nobleman named Fermes, do you?
In response to Fay-Baim's inquiry, I say yes.
"The same goes for dinner today, but I still don't think preparing a different meal for just one person is up to the Forestside lesson. We want to prepare dishes that will be enjoyed not only by Fermes, but also by everyone by the woods."
I tried to explain the content briefly on the spot.
The enthusiastically rounded Matua ladies from the beginning nod with a smile, yeah.
"At the feast, a lot of feast dishes are prepared. I don't think there are any people to complain about, even if there are a few different dishes in there that don't use Giva! Um, what was it, Asta's told me... blocked? Yes, it's a side dish. Um, the dish called Ducko with Chacci or Ma Guigo feels amazing, even if you're not using Giva!
"It's comforting to hear you say that.... In the meantime, they're going to serve some dishes that don't use Giva meat even at the Lou's, so I think we have enough dedication just described"
"In addition to that, you also prepare Giva dishes, right?
Fay-Baim asks. I guess Fay-Beim is also burning enthusiasm to become Fay-Beim by being entrusted with the Kamadu number of the Luu family feast.
"Yes, one type of Giva dish at a time and one that doesn't use Giva, does it? We are only guests, and we want to improve our quality by increasing the number of products. … and don't push yourself too hard, as the total number of participants in the banquet is about 150."
"Right...... but don't you prepare confectionery etc?
and said so, as the women of Matua watched Tul-din.
I think, "Hmm."
"The stall is just on holiday that day, so if we can start working in the morning, we can figure it out. Because of this, we've completed the new Tour-Din, and we'd like to show you."
"Well, I could be either... but if I can start working in the morning, I don't think I'll make it."
"Well, let's add some sweets too. Today, let's start by giving Tool-Din a hand with how to make it."
"I understand, sir."
It is a new confection made with Chaska, which I have previously entrusted with the idea. Variations were abundant, so it went hand in hand with revealing some of them in a feast dish.
Let's start with a look at Chaska. As I proceeded with the task, I turned to Tour-Din and said, "Oh, yeah,"
"Hey, Tour-din. Why don't you show off one of your new treats at dinner tonight?
"Yeah?" Thur-din shrugged herself.
"Yes, but we're going to welcome the mountain people today, aren't we? Does it exist in the mountain people, such as the habit of eating sweet confectionery...?
"I don't know about that, but Mel Fried would welcome you today, too, wouldn't he? Wouldn't it be a great opportunity to try out the new treats for the people of Castle Town?"
Tour-Din was very anxious to see if the new confectionery made with Chaska would please Odifia. It may be rough to use your father to do that prep exercise, but if it was for Odifia's pleasure, I'm sure Melfried wouldn't be offended either.
"There are some different kinds of confectionery this time. But if you could tell Mel Fried it was delicious, wouldn't you worry about delivering it to Odifia?
Tour-Din was a lot of boredom, but at the end of the day, he agreed, "I get it".
"Well, then, just one kind… I apologize if I buy you an unhappiness"
He is a face prepared to grieve. I made him laugh to ease his mind.
"If the people of the mountains don't have the habit of eating sweets, you just have to keep your hands off them. Fermez doesn't really have a hand in Giva cooking. We'll make the extra treats delicious."
"Yes, I will take as much as I want if it is a treat from Tour-Din"
And Yun-Sudra, who seemed to have listened well, smiles and says: So Tool-Din also finally loosened his expression, "Yes".
As such, time passed steadily and Chaska's confectionery was completed. The first people to say it are all expressions of amazement. Malfira-Naham and others, it had already swimmed their eyes at each other.
"Ko, Ko, this is strange to eat, and it's delicious for that. Na, I'd also like to make it at Naham's house...... but Chaska is a good value..."
"But at the previous feast, Day-Ravitz would have known how delicious the sweets were, too, wouldn't he? I wonder if you would allow me to buy a chaska if I put it on there well."
"Oh, yeah, right. Oh, I'll talk to my brother Mora, too. Oh, my brother Mora likes sweets, too."
Fay-Baim, who was silently cheeky with sweets, reacted frighteningly and hypersensitively. That's how I turn away from everyone and get softly annoyed. If I wasn't mistaken, the face felt a lot blush.
(Speaking of which, I wonder if Mora-Naham will also come to the feast)
I thought so, but I didn't dare say it to my mouth because I was going to be chasing Fay-Baim.
Either way, the confectionery training is over. These ways of making them will be left to you again at a later date, and you should spend the rest of your time cooking another dish.
It was just around that time that Zilbe's modest ringing was heard.
It is a signal when a less familiar customer arrives.
"Is that it? You said your guests were coming at dusk, but they're already here?
The study group was still about the turning point, so it would be about half the time of the three moments. There should still have been some loosening up for the sun to set.
A large number of Kamadoku people wonder if the nobles have come to visit. but what was eventually heard from beyond the doorboard was the voice of an unintended person.
"It's Asta from Fa's house! Of Zaza's house, George-Zaza and Sphilla-Zaza! I want you to open this door!
Tour-din rounded his eyes properly.
When you open the doorboard to the side of it, both names stand as the name suggests. He is the twin sisters and brothers of the Zaza main house, not really similar.
"Hi, I'm hissing. What the hell is wrong with you today?
"How are you doing? If the mountain people want to apologize to our bloodline, they can't afford not to see it as a parent."
After stating so and then wandering his gaze, George-Zaza discovered the person he was looking for and let down his mouth more.
"You look like you're breathing too, Tool-din. That's why I'm gonna show you instead of the Chieftain Graph."
"Yes. Thank you for taking the time.... Um, sorry I couldn't make it today"
Sphyla-Zaza, who pushed his brother forward, replied, "I don't mind" with a depositing voice.
"It's for the training of the Luu family banquet dishes, so nothing Thur-din needs to worry about. If you cook brilliantly, it will make your blood proud."
"Uhm! We're going out for that feast too! I'm hoping for some delicious food, Tour-Din."
and George-Zaza takes the conversation from side to side.
"So it is at dusk that the aristocrats come? It's a hassle to see it through and then back to the northern settlement, so we'll still be taking care of the Dins today!
"Oh, yeah.... I'm just supposed to have dinner at Fa's house today..."
Naturally, Georg-Zaza was stunned to open his eyes. Sphilla-Zaza has also revealed his inner mind by glancing slightly at his upper body.
"Why would Tul-din have to have dinner at Fa's house? Did the nobles say anything to you?
"Oh, no, I'm the one who asked for that."
In Zaza's house, Lyada-Lu was running Totos as a messenger first thing in the morning. To convey stories such as the sudden visit of the nobles to the Lou family yesterday and the fact that they are supposed to deliver apologies to each family today. Thereafter, Tour-Din said he had been told that he was no longer able to reach the northern settlement - but it was only then that I asked him to help me with dinner.
"... that's why I decided to ask Tour-Din and Yun-Sudra to help me with dinner. So, the only way to get Kamado to keep him is to have him eat the same food in the same place."
"Mm-hmm. That's a woodland lesson. I'm not trying to complain about anything."
After stating so, Georg-Zaza let his black eyes glow.
"Except! We're gonna have you present on the spot, too! Okay, you don't want to skip it, do you?
"Right. If the dear blood Tul-din were to have dinner with the nobles, we would not have to see it either."
And even Sphilla-Zaza says it with a hard voice. His eyes lit a light that he would even like to call cold fighting spirit.
"Wow, I get it. When Ai-Fa returns, I'll ask."
"I'll ask, not! Take your word for it!... No, you stay back because I'll take direct notice. That's faster."
Is that about showing Tour-Din himself, or do you just want to surround dinner with him - perhaps, both?
