939 Return feast, again ② ~ start of feast ~

Platica and Nicolas came to the Swan Palace about an hour after we started our work.

"Excuse me. Thank you very much for your continued visit today."

Nicolas greeted her deeply as she walked through the door.

Platica, who stood beside her, looked like she was wearing an indigo cooking suit. She was supposed to serve only one dish this evening.

"I'm not a tourist today. Thank you for the same day, cook, keep, and cook."

"Yes, thank you very much.... have you two ever acted together?

"No, I took the time to get the Mansion's work done, and I was late."

"Me, cooking, time needed, back-calculating, involved. Nicolas, arrival, simultaneous, pure coincidence."

Really? Regardless, thank you for both. "

A moment has passed since the start of the work, so the escort who stays inside the kitchen has been replaced by the brother and sister of the Dom family. But Platica and Nicolas were present at the harvest festival of the northern settlement, so they were not warned.

One chestnut is empty for Platica, and the ingredients are prepared separately in a wooden box. After purifying her hands with water bottles, Platica began her work solemnly.

Nicolas is wandering around the interior of the cook, taking care not to get in our way. I told them that it would be the best practice to see how the banquet was prepared.

"Really, don't get tired of it. They've been watching their work for a month now, haven't they?

At the entrance of the cook, you hear the words of Lem-Dom. Responding to this is Ai-Fa, who has been sitting in the kitchen off the rotation frame.

"They also returned to the castle once a few days ago, but it must have been a month since they started watching their work.... are you complaining?

"Instead of complaining, I'd like to pay tribute to that obsession. I mean, it's like I was sitting at Fa's house with a hunter in mind."

That's what Lem-Dom said, in a tone that can be imagined with that smile.

"Is it like watching the preparation of banquet cuisine compared to the power of an extra clan for me? If you think so, you won't get tired of it. When I peeked at the power of the Lou family, it was already bleeding."

"Or maybe it's like accompanying an extra clan hunt. Were you with the Lou family hunting for a while?

"Yeah, that was a tough experience. I'm sure it's because of Ludo Lou and Jeddah that I've become a warrior."

While Dick Dom was wounded and staying at Rutim's house, Rem Dom was in Lou's care. And since it was between Easter and Morga's sanctuary, and the farewell party of Silver Urn, neither I nor Ei Fa had much opportunity to sit back and listen to the details.

"Next time Fa's house holds a harvest festival, invite me and Dick. I'm not just inviting you to the Harvest Festival, I'm inviting you to the wedding of Dick and Morn-Rutim.

"Hmm? This Harvest Festival was supposed to be watched by Geol-Zaza."

"That's why I'm telling you, it's all so far away! Isn't it like being caressed from the top of your outfit just to talk to you later?

"Liars!... I cannot invite guests at my own discretion. I suppose you should first offer Graphic-Zaza, the parent."

Apparently, Lem-Dom had little interest in the castle town and seemed surprisingly in normal mode.

When the men of Din and Lid were guarded before, they were so impressed that they couldn't beat the guards - well, that's the difference between individuals. Not all humans around the forest have a strong interest in the outside world.

Then, about an hour later, Dom's brother and sister were replaced by Dana's parents and Jean's eldest brother, and the visitor was told. It was the gentlemen of Geld, Pollux and a splendid member named Fermez who came.

"I'm sorry I'm at work. It's up to you to say hello."

"No, thank you very much."

This is how Alvach and the others came to greet us at our previous return feast. Because it was a sign of their integrity, there was no reason for me to avoid it.

"Is work going well?

"Yes, no problem at all.... Shall I call Platica?

Only me, Ai-Fa, and Nicolas went outside the kitchen. Nicola came out to greet her husband, Pollus.

But Alvach shook his head sideways.

"Platica, until just now, we were acting together. Greetings are unnecessary.... tonight, Platica, I'm looking forward to what kind of food we serve."

"Yes, you didn't eat platica food yesterday or yesterday, did you?

"Hmm. Platica, I was working on it. I will be encouraging you to make the experience so far fruitful. I'm looking forward to a month of practice and how it will bear fruit."

It was a pleasure for me.

In the woods, Platica has always helped us make dinner, but the only thing that made it unique was the night Alvach and the others were invited.

"It's such a magnificent evening to be able to taste Platica's cuisine in the woods. I'm looking forward to dinner too."

Porcus laughed and said so. Fermez also smiles with a relaxed look. It was strange to be able to have a feast three or four times a month with this luxurious member.

(Even though they are noble people born without even having the chance to face each other. It's kind of going to make my senses feel a little bit worse)

Regardless, it is a pleasure to deepen your interaction with your people at night.

Alvach and the others did not want to stay long, but retreated quickly.

Among them, the timing shifted Fermez gently whispered to me.

"At the Harvest Festival the other day, I could not have told Asta as much as I had hoped. Until then, thank you very much."

"Yes, thank you very much."

Alvach's long tongue was bombed that day because it was the blood of Nokimi Zaza who cooked the food. As a result, Fermez, who was working as an interpreter, was also turned around, and my time with nature was reduced.

Fermez smiles at Ai-Fa on the top of the Buddha, and then follows them after Alvach. The shadowy gem also bowed to Ai-Fa, and then returned the scorpion.

"Hmm. Leaving the gala doesn't seem to change the impression of these nobles."

And Javilla's eldest brother spoke to Geol-Zaza. I am the eldest brother of Javila, who treats me with polite words, but this is what he said to Geol-Zaza, who was born at the same age.

"Geld's gentlemen have a hunter-like temper, Porcus is clear and trustworthy, and Fermez is difficult to read in her heart, but she doesn't feel tall. I thought nobility was more arrogant and difficult to handle."

"Fufu. Even the nobles are human beings. Isn't it strange that you're in a different mood one by one?

"Mm-hmm. If you ask me, you're right. You're different from us, one by one."

It was an interesting argument, but I had to work on the continuation of my work in the kitchen.

"Please wait. Is it time for Tour-din to start eating sweets?

"Yes, I would like to work on it once this job is separated."

At work, Tour-Din is more confident than ever. After all, while serving as a gatekeeper for street stalls and festivals, it must have grown steadily. In everyday life, it was a modest and well-behaved tour-din, but in places involved in cooking, I never saw the face of weakness.

And this half-month, every holiday, I meet Odifia. If you think Odifia can eat today's confectionery, it will make you feel even better. Without being serious, it didn't seem like there was any happiness aura mixed in.

(After all, it's nice to be able to have a feast with a nobleman)

Havila's eldest brother, who had no contact with the nobles until now, has also reached a stage where he has a new impression. This is a testament to the fact that the relationship with the nobles spinned by Tour-din and Geol-Zaza has reached the bloody people. With the resolution of the disturbances surrounding the Earl of Turan as the starting point, there was a feeling that the newly established relationship with the nobles had finally laid the foundation.

"Aster, I've finished my job. I think I'm going to go get some sweets."

"Roger, I'll see you later."

Tur-Din lowered his head and then left our workbench behind. The four persons in charge of confectionery are Tour-din and Ray-Matua, Limi Lou and Lara-Lou. I was supposed to meet Tur-Din sequentially from those who were free.

Today's work will finally be a turning point. While sending instructions to Dagora and the women of Meem, I looked at the cook again.

Yun-Sudra is also working well with Marfila-Naham as his right arm. Rayna-Lou and Sheila-Lou seem to have no problem with Lou's bloodline. It is now that the temperature is falling in advance of the rainy season, but the heat brought by the fire was pouring down here.

Meanwhile, Platica is working alone in silence.

She is working on cooking by herself without asking us or the chef in the castle town for help. Even with one type of dish, there were more than 40 attendees at the dinner party, so it should have been quite a lot.

"Platica, how are you?

I called out like that because I felt some air from Platica's slender back.

With such a tight temper, it seems like it's somewhere lonely - such a neighborhood as carrying heavy luggage by itself.

But Platica's face, looking back, was as daunting as usual.

"Yes, it's going well. No problem."

Really? I'm looking forward to Platica's cuisine because it's rusty. "

"Yes, Aster, I'd be honored if you could give me your thoughts."

Those purple eyes are shining as bright as ever.

It is a very favorable sight and temperament that I felt that there was something going on with Ai-Fa somewhere.

But after all, she is thirteen years old. Unlike Ai-Fa, who was completed as a hunter, she felt like she was trying to hide her fragility.

(Perhaps that's why I can inspire more respect.)

With that in mind, I decided to go back to my job.

I want to help you more and more, Platica. But it's not here right now. All I could do on this day was see what Platica could do by herself.

◇

Thus, the fifth hour of the descent, a moment before sunset, is the beginning of a salutation dinner party.

Having finished all the cooking, we went to the venue.

But this time, not all the guards and guards will be on the move. Anyway, this is a large area of 22 people in total.

Even so, Alvach and the others said they would be fine, but since it would be a burden for us to prepare all the dishes for the group, about half the people were supposed to have dinner in a separate room. I, Ai-Fa, Tour-Din, Yun-Sudra, Marfila-Naham, Ray-Matua, Reina-Lou, Sheila-Lou, Lara-Lou, Limi Lou, Geor-Zaza and Dick-Dom will attend the dinner party.

"There are a lot of people I'm not familiar with here, so I can have a good time. I'll see you later."

Leaving such a word behind, Lem-Dom and the others disappeared in the middle of nowhere.

Indeed, it is an unusual combination of the blood of Zaza, the blood of Lou, and the women of the small clan. Among them, Nicolas, who joins only the people of the castle town, was quite tense.

Platica goes to a dinner party, but Nicolas doesn't. Since she is a maid of the Earl of Durham, she is not allowed to sit with the nobles at the dinner party. Alvach and the others would have forgiven the hawk, but Pollus and the others chose to follow the rules of the Genos.

"I was able to taste the food that was not served at this dinner, so I can't complain about it. Thank you very much for having such a difficult experience today."

Nicolas also disappeared while leaving a special victory on the top of the Buddha.

So we were guided to the dinner venue by the underlings who carried the food.

The location, like last time, is a hall that I would like to call a small hall.

In addition, by way of example, unnecessary space is hidden by impulse, but more space is reserved than last time. This is because the number of attendees on the noble side increased from 20 to 30 last time.

The originally installed tables and chairs are probably hidden behind the collision. And on that day shall be a carpet stacked at their feet, and there shall be people sitting. It's a dinner party based on your Sims' habits.

"Excuse me. I've shown you around the woods."

Following the surnames carrying the wagons, we'll check in sequentially.

Giza Lou and Dari-Sauti, who were invited guests, and the young parents of their children Ludo Lou and Vera, had already begged the nobles.

"Thank you very much. I would like to have a seat if it is not necessary. Location, freedom."

From the deepest rug, Alvach throws a heavy voice.

Today is an anomalous buffet format based on a dinner party at a southern mission. The cooking was arranged to be served by the surnames.

The place was free, but I had to come to Alvach as the responsible person, so I decided to ask Ai-Fa and Reina Lou to accompany me. I will be the nominal director, but in practice Raina Lou was also the partitioner of half of the dishes, so I am eligible to listen to the long story.

The same was true of Toul-Din, the head of confectionery, but the first son of the Marquis was kept in the adjacent rug, so I decided to have Geol-Zaza and Dick-Dom both sit down there.

Alvach, Nanaquém, Malstein, Porcus, Fermez, and Dari-Sauti are all looking for members of the Vera family. Me, Ey-Fa, Reina Lou, and Platica, dressed in their usual outfits, joined.

The number of nobles participating will be 1.5 times higher than the previous time, but the attendees will still be chosen in order of format. The faces of the Marquises and the Earls are bright. Besides, Aug, the assistant diplomat who was absent last time, and Merrim are also involved. Having gained knowledge of Merim through EA FOW-SDRA, Yun-Sudra led Ray-Matua and Marfila-Naham to the rug of Count Durham's family.

Ziza Lou and Ludo Lou are on the rug of the Count of Saturas, and Sheila Lou and Lara-Lou point their feet toward you. Limi Lou also accompanied him, but whispered to Sheila Lou on the way and boarded him alone with the Counts of Turan, Rifreia and Torsto. It was probably Ziza Lou's instructions that Ludo moved his seat to you later. With this, the Marquises and the Earls were roughly evenly divided among the people around the forest.

Well then, I'd like to begin my return dinner.

Alvach and Nanaqem stood up as they watched all humans settle down.

"I am delighted to have a deal, a deal, a deal with Genos this time. In addition, due to the intervention of the southern aristocracy, the scale of the transaction is expected to expand even further. We, Jagal, friends, can't be - Genos, I'm delighted that we brokered a new path. This will be the guidance of the four great gods, according to my thoughts."

People sitting on luxurious rugs are solemnly listening to Alvach's words.

Geld's gentlemen will also be visiting for the second time, and they may have been able to deepen their exchanges more than before. People were cheaper and more entertained than at previous dinners.

"It's been a long stay, but the people of Genos are most grateful for the hospitality and hearts. I would like to thank the people of the forest for their help, their prayers and their thanks. This day, joy and sharing are fortunate."

The two bowed their fingertips in a strange shape and sat on the rug.

Then, in exchange, Martin raised his hips.

Well then, let me also say a word.... Today's dinner party is the style of a dinner party that welcomed the southern mission at the request of Gerd's gentlemen. Many of those who came here will also know the form. You can order the cooks to be divided into surnames, or you can find them with your own eyes. You are also free to move your seat. "

Those who did not attend the dinner party must have heard the story beforehand. Everyone listens to Martin with a calm look.

"However, I want you to relax in the same place for the first half hour. To that end, I asked the surnames to look at the flavour and distribute each serving. I want you to check the flavour and order the dish you want."

As Malstein sat down, the underlings began to move at once.

Distributing all dishes to all attendees is a considerable task. The number of minor surnames and maids was the largest ever seen, and it was exactly the appearance of the Minami Tactics.

"According to what I heard, this is a similar style to the festivities around the forest. Is this the best way for woodside chefs to serve banquet dishes?

When Malstein expressed such suspicions, his chief Dali-Sauti smiled, "I think so."

"It certainly looks like a feast involving Lou and Fa. However, rather than the style around the forest, it is still the style brought about by Asta."

"Hmm. Saudi doesn't like these styles?

"No, I've been studying Lu and Fa's feast in Saudi Arabia, but I can buy a lot of wood dishes and spoons for that. At the original festival by the forest, there was only pot with meat and vegetables and grilled meat, so there was no need for wooden plates."

That said, Dari-Sauti turned his gaze on me.

"I think the first feast I saw was the Harvest Festival of the Lou Blood clan... but by that time, you weren't even ready for that, were you?

"Yes, I didn't use wooden dishes in the stalls back then. Even the Lou family seems to have bought some extra wooden dishes, but I think they were still cooking the gonumoki leaves and so on."

Dari-Sauti was supposed to be talking about a harvest festival where I and Ey-Fa were allowed to sit for the first time. During that time, Dari-Sauti stayed in the Lou settlement to learn blood draining and dismantling techniques.

"It was supposed to be right after Zatsu-Sung and the others were cut off... at the end of the blue moon last year."

"Yes, it's been about a year and seven months."

"In one year and seven months, we've made a lot of changes. Prior to that, they only cooked salt by simmering the meat and vegetables of unbled guinea pigs."

That said, Dari-Sauti smiled joyfully.

"Of course, at that time, we were satisfied. The idea of delicious food did not exist in itself, so there was no resentment. But we were able to gain even more joy and strength from delicious dishes. I think we should never forget that it was Asta who brought it."

"Yes, it's an honor."

These nobles gave me such words while watching, and I was overwhelmed.

After all, Ai-Fa listens to Dari-Sauti in a dignified manner with her spine open. The proud light in those blue eyes warmed my heart.

"A year and seven months, huh? It is by no means a short time, but nevertheless life around the forest has made a difference with astonishing momentum."

That's what Martin said, laughing loosely.

"And finally, the change that Asta brought came to the castle of Genos. There are many people who want to continue to adopt the style of this feast, Aster."

"Oh, is that so?

"Mm-hmm. This style allows you to eat dishes for a feast. The arrangement that you can travel wherever you want while preparing for your seat is quite enjoyable."

It appears that Martin himself is pleased with these styles.

In an honest mood, I lowered my head and said, "It's an honor."

"For me, unifying dishes without dishes or limiting them to six dishes was a difficult part, so I would appreciate it if you would forgive me for this style."

"Mm-hmm. That would be great for us if we could use the power of the woodside cooks."

When Martin said that, "Excuse me," the underlings approached. Finally, the first dish arrived.

Alvach, who had been sitting still for a long time, sparkled blue eyes like a star.
