885 Count Dalaim's Dinner Party ③ - Competition

"Next, we will prepare our juicy dishes."

With the words of Varcus, Roy and Siri-Low stood up. The juicy dishes prepared by the Vulcas were set up in a wagon with a thermal insulation scheme, so they are transferred from hand to hand to plate and handed over to the lowlifes.

When the new dishes were thus served, this time a louder voice of admiration was spilled than earlier. It was a Vulcan dish with so much impact.

"This will be a juicy dish made with Gigi leaves"

Gigi leaves are vanilla with a purified cocoa-like flavor. For the forest folks, it is an ingredient that they have become accustomed to as an ingredient in chocolate.

So this Gigi leaf originally came in a black hue - the hue was reflected in this dish as well. It was a black stew like the darkness of night.

"This is... it's like a tinted shade of dye to write a letter"

It was Paud who said it in a simplistic manner.

Varcus looks back at you blurry.

"Dye for writing letters can't be an ingredient. Don't worry, this will only be a shade of Gigi leaves"

"Uhm. That would be..."

And, the powder that made his big nose snap, "ho," he rounded his eyes.

"Sure, this is a fragrant scent. Which, let me see the flavor"

I was able to smell the scent without having to make my nose snap. It is a truly complex fragrance in which various aromas of vanilla and ingredients are woven together in a slightly coffee-like scent.

(Originally, Gigi leaves are the ingredients for tea. What the hell kind of juice dish is that?)

I took away a metal spoon, along with a great sense of anticipation.

The texture is still like stew. When I gently grabbed the inside of the plate, the loose ingredients were on the spoon. Cut to pieces, it's a chatch.

(This sounds more and more like stew. Sounds a little different than the juicy dishes Varcus has served so far)

I threw a chutch in my mouth along with plenty of black broth.

Once, the complex taste explodes into your mouth.

More than I could imagine, there was vanilla spiciness there.

But after all, it is the flavor of Gigi leaves that dominates. Intense spiciness, slight acidity and mellow sweetness are dominated by the bitterness of the Gigi leaves.

It's hard, but sweet. I guess I even use some kind of fruit juice and sugar and honey. It's like adding spiciness and even acidity to a sugar melted coffee with vanilla - such an odd taste, but with proper integrity. It was also because the underlying stock possessed the robustness of the stone.

Taste is unusual. This was obviously seafood stock. I guess I also use smoked fish and seagrass, mainly scallops I took care of in seafood curries. It's deep, but it's never hard. It was the finish in which the power of the Vulcus was exerted to a great extent.

The chatching of ingredients is only smudged with those flavors on the surface, the inner one is creased and tastes innocent. The taste of the complex and strange broth seemed to gently deceive me.

Other hidden ingredients include Nennon when carrots, Chan when zucchini, Chum chum when tachenocho, and Ma Pra when paprika - all simmered better and feel like they serve to neutralize intense flavors. If the taste of the broth had stuck to the core of these ingredients, then the tongue was just about to get tired.

(Also... Looks like they use loose fish bodies too. Is this fiber scalloped? It's pretty good to eat, as these are going all over the place)

When I thought of it that way, Addis, my first son, groaned, "Uh-huh."

"It's something that has been amazing to us for a long time, with dishes that I can't even think of... but in the last year and a half, you seem to have raised your arms more and more. I don't know about this, but it's a great dish anyway."

"A year and a half, is it? Maybe that's referring to the day of the meeting at Castle Genos?

When Fermes questioned him that way, Addis clasped his mouth like a hack. Fermes is smiling at the feeling of some pranky fairy.

"That would mean a meeting that took place during the period when Asta was captured by Count Turan's residence at the time. Cycleus, the former lord of the Count Turan family, soon fell ill from it, so he also began to cling to bringing his prized cook around outside the mansion - and the report stated so."

"No, well, that story..."

"Stick around, you won't have to be shy. In the wake of that event, the bond between the Earl of Dalaim and the people of the woodland seemed to me to be a worthy topic on a day like this. … What do you think of Asta?

"Yes, at that time, thanks to Polearth, we were to be saved"

I made him laugh at Polearth so that the conversation could move in a calm direction. Polearths smiles back at the gain.

"Yeah, yeah. At that time, neither my father nor my brother could leave Castle Genos. Because of that, I'm the one who got the hang of it. [M] Well, everything is guided by Lord Camua-Josh!

After saying it that way, I looked back at Pol Earth Hakurin and Vulcus.

"But right. Lord Varcus was also Castle Genos that day. Speaking of which, I remember being told that this dinner was handled by Lord Timaro, the deputy chef."

"Ha... what kind of story is that?

When Varcus answered as such, the tone sounded properly illegitimate. A weak Roy hit his elbow on the table.

"And I beg your pardon.... you know, Varcus, I told you that story myself, didn't I? While you were away from your former lord and mansion, you were the one who took care of Asta."

Why are you taking care of Lord Asta?

"... so I was taking care of Count Turan's house at the time. Do you forget stories that don't involve cooking from one end?

Vulcus thought blurry for a while, but opened his eyes "Oh" to the fudge.

"I remember. While I was at Castle Genos, Lord Asta was invited to the Count Turan's house."

"It wasn't an invitation, it was a kidnapping."

"So I hear you showed off a number of dishes, starting with the fried Kimmus dishes. If that were the case, I would have liked to have stood there."

An adorable voice called "Pu" echoed right next to me.

The Lord of voices is Merrim. Merrim was shaking her quiet shoulders as she played her hand on her mouth.

"And I beg your pardon. The interaction between you was ridiculous..."

"… I would be honored if you enjoyed it."

Roy was almost sighing and responding.

Pole Earth also speaks out, "Yes or no" to take the spot back.

"By then, Lord Roy was not yet a disciple of Lord Varcus, so you stayed in the mansion. So I decided to take care of Lord Asta, who Princess Lifreia had told me... that Lord Roy had been face-to-face with Lord Asta earlier than me or Lord Varcus."

"... Yes. At that time, the Kingsguards were being investigated day after day."

That was my first ear, too. but that one led to Melfried doing a thorough investigation and imprisoning Refraia. I guess Roy and Chiffon-Cher, who were in charge of my caregivers, were awaiting a tough interrogation.

"That's now, because this is how we all surround the dining table. No, I wonder if this is also the guide of Western God. You'll feel the strangeness of destiny."

"Yeah, really. If that's the case, I wanted to see what was going on back then."

Smiling gracefully, Fermes responded accordingly.

On the other side, Paud and Addis are sneaking up on sweat. At the time they should have been critical of Polearth's deeds and outraged at what it was to shield them against the Count Turan family.

(I'm sure Fermes brought up this topic based on that. Damn, people are bad)

By the time that topic came to an end, the dishes of juice dishes had also been emptied.

After praising the culinary excellence in my camp and Jan's, it is time for the next dish.

"Next up, we'll be preparing our own fuwano dishes."

On my signal, Yun-Sudra and Tour-din stand up. We were supposed to work on it ourselves, not leave it up to us to split the dishes.

When the lid of the iron pan that was installed in the wagon is opened, the fragrance fills the dining room more vividly than the Varcus juice dish.

Its scent alone raised the face of the aristocracy with admiration, and Varcus shook his shoulders tingly.

"… this seems to be his dish"

"Yes, it's the latest in curry cuisine"

The lowlifes start handing out dishes. Served there was "Curry Grilled Udon", which was unveiled at a separate banquet for the sending of "Silver Pot".

However, for Fermes to be present this time, it's seafood tailoring, not giva meat. Mallory and scallops were substitutes for giva meat, and Nunyompa, similar to squid and octopus.

"If you can name it, is it something like" Seafood Curry Grilled Udon "? It is not the chaska that we use, but the fabric that is dominated by fuwano."

"Hmm. Shaska is the delightful hand of Lord Asta in finishing Shaska's dishes and turning Fuwano and Poitan into Shaska-made dishes."

With a bounced voice, Polearth praised me that way.

"In Castle Town, a lot of things have penetrated by Lord Asta's devised black fuwano, but you use Turan's white fuwano for this, right?

"Yes, I mixed just a little poitan in the fuwano for the ideal texture. I hope you like it."

When all the plates were served, people each took up a poking key with interest. No one will be surprised by the noodle dishes anymore, as black fuwanos and chaska dishes are distributed in Castle Town. But humans familiar with curry dishes should have been very limited.

"Well, you have an exciting taste as the scent suggests.... This looks similar to the strange buns that were served at the ball before."

The first to raise his voice was our Lord's companion Rittier.

Make me laugh "yes" towards you.

"Raina-Lou and the others prepared," Curry Mann, "right? This time I tried using seafood ingredients, not giva meat, did you like it?

"Yeah, very much," she smiled, then Rittia looked back at her partner's powd.

"Hey, you'd think so too, wouldn't you? So strange, so delicious."

"Hmmm... I'm not so good at spicy dishes, but don't let the food served this evening get eaten at all wonderful"

As such, Paud plucked the sweat floating on his forehead with a table napkin. This one is medium-spicy. I suppress it to any spiciness, but the sweat gland has been irritated a lot.

"Varcus is also good at cooking with vanilla, so I also thought I should refrain, but these days this dish was self-confident, so I incorporated it into my dedication. I'm sorry if they didn't like spicy food."

Paud looked back at me as I whispered a fine brow.

"It's spicy, but extremely delicious, so it doesn't extend to making an apology. … I am surprised that he, still so young, has more arms than the famous Vulcus, even in the castle town"

"Thank you for your excessive words"

I have heard stories about the conservative and cautious temperament of Paud, who is careful not to disturb Polearth-connected fringes with the forestside people. Nearly a year should have passed since then, but there seemed to be no significant change in its basic stance.

(Well, I've looked at the Castle Town Feast several times, but this is about the first time I've exchanged words properly. I'm a big favorite Polearths family, so I'd like to get along better)

With that in mind, I turned my attention to Addis and Carlia as well.

"What do you think? I think the curry dishes have taken root a lot in the Inn Town, but I would be honored if it suited the mouths of the nobles of Castle Town."

"Oh, um... I think it's very tasty"

"Yeah, it's crackling to serve herb dishes, so I've been feeling a lot since just now."

Addis was on the top of a Buddha similar to his father's, and Carlia took it. It was a face. Half the Count Dalaim family seems to have a pretty stiff guard.

Nevertheless, it is not surprising that vanilla dishes are crackling. Jan and I are the chefs in Castle Town, so we should be good at cooking vanilla - and when I thought of it that way, Melim, who sat nagging forward, put up his little body diligently and whispered to me.

"My sister-in-law Carlia used to milk her baby until recently, so she kept herbs from cooking. Originally, he was very fond of herb dishes."

"Oh I see...... thank you for taking the time"

"No. I am also glad that Carlia is looking so happy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Asta and Varcus for the wonderful food."

That said, Merrim smiled.

It is, after all, such an innocent, unyielding smile that it does not seem like an elderly person. When I was greeted by such a lovely woman, I was sure Polearth would be happy.

"This one is really delicious. Asta's cooking always shakes my heart."

And with all the loss to Merrim, Fermes has also delivered a poor smile.

"Also, there are not many cooks in the Wang capital who can handle such brilliant seafood dishes. Both Asta and Varcus can be described as cooks with extraordinary arms."

"Thank you. Seafood ingredients go well with curry, so I tend to rely on them when serving dishes to Fermes… if they didn't think I was tired of them anymore, I'm fortunate"

"I don't think I've ever had a chance to mouth Asta's cooking enough to get tired of it yet. In front of Marquis Genos, I can't easily call Asta."

With that said, Fermes turned his gaze to Raina-Lou next to me.

"Even at the Earl of Saturas' house, I hear you're holding up a story about wanting to ask Raina-Lou to cook. At present, our first son, Lord Leeheim, is trying so hard to persuade Lord Genos and Lord Melfried."

"Ah... you were"

Raina-Lou corrected his posture and stared back at Fermes' smile.

"The story came at a previous feast. I would be honored to make it happen."

"Yeah. Until now, we've been talking about refraining from calling the castle towns as much as possible so that it's not a burden to the people by the woods. If we forgive it for so long, there will be fears that nobles everywhere will seek to summon the people of the woods with interest."

Fermes smiled softly, overlapping words as such.

"But I also think that the people of the woodland and the people of the castle towns have been able to deepen this bond by doing so. Besides, this is the first time a cook other than Asta has been nominated, except for Tour-Din, so let's do this very meaningfully. With that in mind, I am also in a position to secretly support Lord Leeheim's advance."

"Yeah, yeah. The obsession between Lord Raina-Lou and Lord Leeheim has also been completely dissolved. To deepen the bond between the Lew family and the Earl of Saturas, let it be a meaningful deed."

Polearths laughed furiously as well, stating so.

"Besides, all those who have so far invited people by the woods to Castle Town will be people who will take them to the Marquis de Genos or Count d 'Aleim families. Now you may think Lord Melfried or I, the mediator with the people of the woods, is abusing my authority. In that sense, I think this is the time to take a new step."

"Yeah, it's a really hard story."

After dampening his throat with cold tea, Fermes turned his gaze towards the Varcus and the others.

"Shall I turn now to my taste of the day? How was this dish prepared by Asta?

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

With an extremely flat voice, Vulcus quickly returned the words.

"As Lord Asta said, he is extremely compatible with seafood ingredients. I find it difficult to throw away Gibba's meat dishes, but I am so distracted by his dishes in seafood. I was also strongly impressed with the craftsmanship of baking the elongated fuwano dough after boiling it."

"It's an honor to compliment you. Was there anything that bothered you?

"I was the first to say that there was no place for a non-strike. Lord Asta has worked out his flavor for a long time, so he has even reached a stage where he can be converted to different dishes. And this was a story about a dish that we recently finished, right?

"Yes, since the beginning of the year, it will be a dish that we aim to complete in earnest"

"So while it's so complete, it still leaves room for improvement. I look forward to seeing what kind of leap this dish will take in the future"

Even with all these words lined up, Vulcus is the same faceless, bar-reading tone. Even the people of the east were about to give me a peek inside some more.

It is, however, an extreme honor to be so praised by Vulcus. My chest was full of pride.

"... I feel the same way as my mentor Varcus. I wonder if this dish, which is similar to the Chaska dish, would be very pleasing to those in the east."

Tartumai, who had always been silent, also praised me that way.

"Then you can't wait for the Gerd people to come! I'm sorry to bother you, but I'd like to thank Lord Asta again for that verse!

To Polearth's words, I said yes. The return of Alvach and the others is something I can't wait to see.

After that, Jan and Nicolas were also able to get a thankful dimensional review. Both names were also familiar with curry dishes, so it was mainly the handling of seafood and the udon of fuwano that was eliminated. Especially from Jan, he was to receive praise with regard to the use of buckwheat, pasta, Chinese noodles and udon.

"That's a name I don't know. Must be the dish that hasn't been served in Castle Town yet, huh?

To Polearth's words, I nodded yes.

"Oh, but Polearth was invited to the wedding of Schmiral-Lilyn and Vina Luu-Lylin, wasn't she? It was used in the" Giva Bone Ramen "served at that time, and it became its Chinese noodles."

"Oh, that one! The colour was yellow, so I thought it would be perfect. I guess I can't tell the difference in flavor without a cook."

"No. I'm sure you can understand some difference if you compare it to eating. … I was wondering whether to use udon or chinese noodles in today's dishes."

Then Vulcus came out without a look on his face.

"I will also be the first name to hear of it. What changes do you get when you use that?

"Huh? Er... Chinese noodles are thinner than udon and can even shrink a little, making the flavor more tangling. Besides, the dough itself is slightly flavored, so I think the comfort of eating will change considerably."

"It's interesting. … let the culinary characteristics of Lord Asta lie in its diversity. I am impressed by the fact that using the udon and tofu in the same dish, or using seafood and giva meat separately, can be exchanged with very different dishes."

"Excessive words, thank you"

After I said it, I thought, "Shit." The suggestion is that Vulcan returns, "I intend to say a word that is not overwhelming."

"Whatever it was, it was a brilliant fuwano dish. … it's our turn next."

After Varcus' gaze, Tartumai rose this time. After all, vegetable dishes are under the jurisdiction of Turtumai.

As Tartumai approaches the silver wagon, he splits the dishes that were prepared there into plates. When it was transported to the table, it gave me a lot of confusion.

"This also... seems to be a stranger dish than ever before"

Paud and the others had uncovered suspicious thoughts about the dishes on the plate. Addis and Carlia, among others, have similar expressions. On the other hand, the soft trio of Rittia, Merrim and Polearth had sparkled their pure curiosity in their eyes.

"Lord Varcus's vegetable dishes always surprise me. What kind of dish is this?

"This will be a vegetable and vanilla dumpling dish"

Dough - Sure, it must be dough. Three pieces of ping-pong balls, one large and shaped enough to be lightly crushed, are placed on each plate.

However, the shades are all green, ju and blue marble patterns. I remember being served a simmering vegetable dish with the same shade before, but does this mean it's a dough version?

"Dumplings... if it's fuwano or confectionery, it's not even a rare dish... I don't know if they're going to serve the dough in a vegetable dish"

"And it's this shade. I can't imagine the flavor at all. Or I don't even think it's food."

Similar things Parent-child Paud and Addis exchange opinions without abomination. I guess nobles have no reason to shy away from Vulcan, the cook of the castle town. Rather than being impressed, it is a tone that is a lot more reprehensible.

But of course Varcus indicated the dish "go ahead" with the breeze where it blows.

"Today only three kinds of dishes meant, among other things, that I never prepared this one, which was laborious. In accordance with our original Silver Star Hall, we are offering a special dedication only to ten or fewer customers."

The aristocratic people, except Fermes, were surprised and took up the poking keys. These Raina-Lu and Sheila-Lu are resolute faces. Varcus' vegetable dishes are drained of his liver every time, so he needs to prepare his mind.

So I, too, was prepared to carry that strange dough into my mouth - but still, I could hardly restrain my amazement.

The first impression of the flavour is still managed to be within the assumed range. It has a unique Varcus flavour, mixed with sweetness, spiciness, bitterness and acidity. It has such a strange and complex flavour that I don't even know how many ingredients I use.

To its complex taste, even the complex texture was added this time.

The surface is a dusty grain texture. Probably using a sticky chaska. It had a preferred texture similar to the Ofukuki we make.

Just two different textures are hidden in it.

One of them was that thick, boiled texture. In the soft fabric, that stew was wrapped as an ingredient.

And furthermore, even a crunchy snack confectionery texture lurks in the simmering.

It was also nothing short of a known dish for us - a strange thread-like dish to say even with the scented bomb, served when Varcus and the first cook were scratched.

Dafuku-like dough, jelly stewed and fibrous quality of vegetables as thin as yarn. All of them have complex flavors that evoke different reactions in the mouth.

Because of the high viscosity of the dough, careful chewing is required to swallow it. In the meantime, your mouth continues to be ravaged by complex flavors. And thickening, melting and collapsing simmering and a crisp fibrous texture give excessive information. It was such a state that this analysis could not keep up with what kind of dish this was.

"Is this delicious...?

They finally finished eating the first dough, Paud squeezed out a baffled voice.

Littier, looking back at you, nods "Yes" with a soft look.

"It must be delicious. I can't think of the right words... but my mouth feels happy."

"Right," he endorsed, was Fermes.

"I also accidentally lost my word...... if asked if it was pleasant or offensive, I can answer without hesitation that it is pleasant. So it's delicious."

"Yep. Not only my tongue, but my entire mouth... even my teeth and jaw, I like them comfortably. I don't think I remember ever having such a happy and comfortable dish."

In words, I guess that's what happens. Somehow it's even amazing beyond the fact that it's delicious or unpleasant.

When I was thinking that way, Fermes sent a smiling glance at me.

"It seems to us that this is all we get. As for the cook Astas, what do you think?

"No, I'm ashamed, I feel the same way. I can't think of any words to evaluate this dish."

"Yes... so am I."

Raina-Lou stared at Varcus with a glimmering eye.

"Varcus. The ingredients used in this dish are the two vegetable dishes you once showed off, right?

"Yes, I've changed the flavoring, but the basics are the same dish."

"Combining it together… it's going to take so long to make a different dish"

"Yes, I use Chaska fabric, so it's inevitable that it will have a different finish. It will also fine-tune the flavour distribution in order to combine different dishes, so the basics should be referred to as a different kind of dish at the same time"

With his undulating voice and tone, Vulcan said so.

"I was proud to say that in vegetable dishes I had achieved one completion. As much as there was no room for drilling anymore, it took me long to believe that I was able to embody the ideal flavor. … if you are going to apply more hands, it should be an improvement in texture. How far you can achieve harmony of texture while retaining your ideal flavour… it depends now on your focus"

"... really, if you can beat Varcus to the mountain, he's going to break his neck just looking up"

That's what Raina-Lou said, spilling a smile all the time.

"But I am happy to have met you as well as Asta. I guess it's hard for me to imitate your manners... but I still feel that your presence is as big as Asta's, eating into my heart."

"You do not need to imitate my ways. … but you don't have to ignore them."

Varcus' eyes seemed to glimpse Roy in the last seat.

"Young man, you are who you are going to be. I look forward to seeing what kind of cook you can be with me and Lord Asta and Lord Michelle - and with your mouth full of dishes from Lord Dia. If we can talk about all that cooking in our youth and feed ourselves, we could reach an area that we couldn't reach in our old age."

"Are you old? Varcus was supposed to be younger than my father, wasn't he?

Rayna-Lew grinned, limply with her original flair.

"But I am truly honored that you can say that to Varcus. Because I am not equipped with special talents like Mime or Malfira-Naham..."

"But you have the power to create dishes that are not suffocating with Lord Asta or Lord Mime. However, they must be the result of being handled by Lord Asta and Lord Michel… it will depend on your enthusiasm if you stand next to your master and move on further."

With only an unchallenged voice, Vulcus said so.

"I want my tongue to show results before it fades too much"

"Yes, we hope to make dishes that will satisfy Varcus sincerely one day"

Rayna-Lew said so as she set Daw Young's cheek on fire.

I was watching that face from the side - from the other side, Sheila-Lou and Tour-Din, and Yun-Sudra stared at its side.

It has a dazzling look.

Do you envy and envy this kind of interactive Raina-Lou with Varcus?

However, Yun-Sudra should have seen Raina Luu's cuisine badly appreciated by Varkas. That was only the day Yun-Sudra first left for Castle Town.

(Will Yun-Sudra also one day become badly acclaimed or admired by Varkas?

Yet Yun-Sudra seemed not to want to show his power to the people of the castle town. Yun-Sudra's eyes are only directed to the woods, and he wants to deliver a delicious meal to his compatriots - it feels like he has such thoughts.

But still, the passion for cooking hasn't been beaten by Rayna-Lew.

That's probably why Yun-Sudra was staring at Raina-Lou with such an eye.

(Whatever, you two insist I don't want to give you a wedding for a while to concentrate on your work)

Both Raina-Lou and Yun-Sudra, Sheila-Lou and Tour-Din, are all encouraged to train Kamadhu numbers according to their respective aspirations. Varcus' exciting cuisine may have made such their thoughts come to mind.
