1032 Tasting in Castle Town (2) - Beginning of the Meeting

At the same time as the bell of the fifth hour of descent, a tasting party began.

When we move to the venue, it looks like there are already 100 people gathered.Even if the number of people gathered, it was a spacious hall, but it must have been spectacular.

In the deepest part of the hall, there are seats for you, and there are small round tables everywhere else.However, the people of Ichii waited for the start of the meeting with everyone standing upright.Round tables are supposed to be used when eating dishes that are needed.It seems that there are not enough seats available for everyone to sit on.

People are lined up roughly by identity.That was known at first glance because the people invited from the workplace town were wearing a white, vermilion shoulder strap.This is proof that we are guests from outside the stone walls, who were also worn at the Genos Castle feast.

(The Genos Castle feast was more crowded... it was spectacular to have so many people in such a crowd.)

Today, a total of 24 cooks and their assistants prepared food for tasting.Seventeen of them are of noble stature.The chefs in the castle town and the people in the inn in the post town each had more than 30 people.The breakdown was that there were less than 10 special guests, such as Quercuel, Arishna and Platica.

The cooks who prepared the dishes each brought three assistants.The other Vulcans' disciples had to help their master, so the bozzle decided to ask another cook for help.As for Princess Del Shea, she said she had hired apprentice cooks from Genos Castle.

The nobles of Genos have been carefully chosen for their eyewitness.The Marquises were crowded with the main Malstein and Merfrid families, but the Earls were two at a time, members of the Refraea, Torsto, Porcus, Merrim, Luidros and Lieheim.And then Pouroise's boss, the diplomat, takes his partner with him, and at the end, Fermez secretly withholds.

Jaguar's mission looks exactly like the review meeting, with four members: His Highness Dakarmas, Robros, Forta, and Clerk.

The chefs of the castle town will look roughly the same as if they were called to a review meeting.Most of the people I know well are on the cooking side, so only Jan and Timaro know their names.But the chef of the Earl's house was allowed to bring a disciple, so Nicolas was able to join the group.

Also, since they are not involved in cooking today, these people are not wearing cooking clothes, but personal clothes and dressing.By attending with you, it was thought that people who could not serve the palace would be wearing a whole lot of clothes.

And so will the people of the post town.According to the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Tapas, it was still a terrible story to go to the castle town in bad looks.Tapas was the only person related to the inn who had a friendship with the nobles, so the others were in a hurry to get dressed, and the tailors in the inn town were supposed to have become a lot of noise in the past few days.

"Quiet... I'd like to start a tasting party."

And it was we, Pollus, who started the declaration of the opening of the meeting.At the review meeting, Pollux was usually in charge of the facilitator, so I guess it was taken over.

"I would like to ask not only the chefs of the castle town, but also the people involved in the inn in the post town for their help.This is the first time we've had a meeting like this in Genos, so I'm sure there's a lot of confusion... but there's only one purpose for today.Taste the cuisine of renowned cooks and understand the beauty of the ingredients delivered from King's Landing in the south.Based on the knowledge and experience gained here today, I would like to encourage everyone to use new ingredients to make a great meal. "

Porcus also seemed to be a little crankier than usual.

But more than that, of course, it will be the people invited from the workplace town.Genos' aristocracy and barely acquainted people suddenly turned against the Jaguar royalty and so on.It was impossible to be nervous with this.

"Now let me introduce the cooks who prepared today's dishes.... first of all, the chef of Genos Castle, Lord Dia. "

Diamonds dressed in cooking took three assistants and advanced to the noble seat.First of all, I thank you, and then the people standing in the hall.When the chefs of the castle town clapped their hands tightly, the people of the post town panicked and followed.

"Next, Vulcus, the owner of the restaurant Ginsendo."

The Vulcans also have the same outlook as the diamonds.Vulcans are not good at crowding, but they don't seem to matter so far.

"Then, Lord Bozul, the disciple of Lord Vulcus.... Lord Bozzle will be practicing under Lord Vulcus, but he was recently excommunicated because he was born in Jagal. "

Bozzles are also greeted with their usual smiling expressions.The three assistants lined up behind me all had faces I didn't know.

"Next, the chef near the forest, Asta.And Miss Limi-Lou and Miss Tool-Din.... we have prepared a special kind of sweet for both of you. "

We greeted each other with an imitation.

Is it still the warmth of the people in the inn town that made your heart and applause feel louder?

"And finally, Princess Del Shea, the first daughter of His Royal Highness Prince Dakarmas the Sixth Prince of Jagal.... Princess Del Share has excellent cooking skills, so I'm excited to join you. "

After all, Princess Del Shea, dressed as a cook, thanked her as generously as before.

In that appearance, the people of the workplace town gave a strange sigh.Although Princess Del Share was known to prepare the dishes, the presence of the royal princess in the cooking attire would be a huge impact.

"With the exception of Miss Limi-Lou and Miss Tour-Din, five chefs have prepared three dishes each.Except for Princess Del Share, who used the ingredients you first saw five days ago to prepare those dishes.I want you to fully appreciate how great the ingredients were in just five days of review. "

At last, a tasting party is about to begin.

But Porcus hasn't even introduced His Highness Dakarmas yet.I wondered if the meeting would start like this, and when I leaned my head secretly, Princess Del Share, who was waiting for me nearby, pulled the hem of my cooking suit.

Yes, what is it?

When I asked her in a whisper, Princess Del Shea hung her eyebrows with a smile and used her fingers to invite her a little.Do you want me to bend over because I have a private conversation?

"You're wondering because you can't identify your father or your nobles, right?But this is normal in our house.It doesn't matter what kind of nobles attend the tasting.It's just a gathering for cooks today. "

I just said, "I see."I wanted to keep a long story to myself, because I had Ey-Fa's eyes shining behind me.

But when I try to wake up, I'm pulled at the hem again.The height difference was more than 20 centimeters, so I couldn't keep quiet until I bent over.

"After this, I have to sit down next to my father.I'm looking forward to your cooking. "

"Yes, I understand."

It doesn't seem like we're going to keep it a secret, but I'm sure it's a precaution to keep the rough rhetoric out of the audience.Princess Del Shea smiled and walked towards your father with a bouncing step.

"Now we are going to start a tasting session.There are a lot of people, so please don't rush to keep the line and receive the food. "

Due to the nobility's eyes, everyone began to walk to the cooking booth by the wall.

But sooner than that, there are small surnames and maids lined up in the booth.They kept the front row in advance to deliver the food to you.

Well, here are the people in charge.

I will aim for you according to my guide's last name.We must first explain the cooking on the spot.The cooking was entrusted to the Yun-Sudra and I came to the scene with only Ai-Fa.

"Good day, Astor. I've got a seat for you, so please do the same as the other day."

Pollus, who had finished his work, called me like that with a smile.The neighbor Merrim also had the usual smile.

Also, since Odifia, who was caught by his parents on the other side of Malstein, was staring at us to eat us, I asked you to pardon me.Tour-din and Limi Lou are supposed to meet later.

The same four people who sat at the cook's table the other day, me, Vulcan, Bozzle and Diamond.Ey-Fa, who was allowed to act with me, was sneaking behind my lick.

"No, this day is finally here!I'm so excited that I didn't sleep well last night! "

Even today, His Highness Dakarmas is laughing generously.Princess Del Shea smiles too, but Roberts is the top of the Buddha after all.

However, since seats were set up in a row next to each other today, the top of the Buddha is also far away.The cook's table was set in front of Her Royal Highness Dakarmas and Princess Del Shea, sitting at the right end, and Roberts, Forta and Clerk were placed on the other side of the Marquis de Genos.

(Now, it seems that the explanation of cooking can only reach the Marquises at most, but is that okay?)

When I thought that way, a number of dunnames lined up, dressed to face the nobles' seats.Apparently, these surnames serve to convey the narrative to people far away from their seats.

"I'm really excited about how the ingredients of King's Landing have been prepared in the last five days!How does everyone feel? "

"Unfortunately, we were unable to prepare a satisfactory meal for this short period of time.Please forgive me for serving you bad food. "

The blurry appearance remains, and Vulcans still seems to be in a state of extinction.Perhaps the ideal Vulcus is not unwilling to serve dishes that are not satisfactory to himself.

"No, no! For today only, let's be happy to be poor!I can't wait to see how many dishes a top cook can prepare in a five-day period! "

So while His Highness Dakarmas was laughing, the first dish was brought in.Looking at those plates, Vulcus takes a small breath.

"That will be the dish I prepared.If it's a terrible feast, it's worth eating first. "

No, no, no, no. I'm going to stick with you.There is no reason why Vulcan cuisine alone is impossible because everyone's conditions are the same.In the side seat, the bozzle also smiled bitterly.

(However, I have the advantage that I have dealt with similar ingredients... but when compared to Vulcans and Diamonds, which one of those advantages seems to be the best)

Regardless, the three dishes prepared by Vulcan were arranged.

Even if it tastes good, it is a very small amount.At the request of His Highness Dakarmas, half a serving is served first.

"Now please explain, Lord Vulcus!"

"I understand.... this is an appetizer made with bona root, this is a snack made with Jora's oil, and this is a snack made with blue cheese."

Snacks were filled with ingredients on the fuwano dough, and appetizers were served on small plates.Blue cheese has emerged from the beginning, but its intense aroma is relieved by vanilla.

"Blue cheese is crafted by adding freshly ground vanilla.Jora's stewed oil still contains three types of vanilla, followed by tau oil, whiskey nuts and pannum honey.The appetizer consists of steamed finely chopped calon meat combined with three types of vanilla, including bona roots, in lettuce oil and tau oil. "

"Oh! It's so herbal!"

His Highness Dakarmas took it from the appetizer plate with pleasure.After all, should I eat it first because it's labeled as an appetizer?I will let you taste it from the same dish.

Steamed finely sliced carrots had a vibrant cherry blossom color on the inside.Together with the vanilla powder, it is soaked in tau oil and retin oil.

The use of bonito roots resembling wasabi made me try to eat them carefully - but it wasn't as painful as my nose.It does leave a strong rusty flavor, but it is also mixed with other kinds of spice.Perhaps this is a sulfa similar to mustard.In addition, I felt the pain and anguish of Nahua.

(It is unusual for Vulcan cuisine to identify the type of vanilla so clearly.That's why it's not meant for Vulcans.)

Vulcus is a way to move away from the taste of the original ingredient - as Michael used to call it.The essence of Vulcans is to blend a variety of ingredients to create an entirely unknown flavor.

However, only three varieties of vanilla are used this time because there is not enough time for research.That's why I was able to identify all of them.Besides, Vulcans and others only had two kinds of seasonings: tau oil and retin oil.

The taste is usually delicious.

Vulcus must have narrowed down the ingredients to keep the harmony going.Therefore, all the ingredients used are in perfect harmony.All ingredients play an important role in highlighting the deliciousness of Karon's meat.If this had been a dish made by other people who were not Vulcans, I would have been satisfied without any doubt.

"Hmm! You're doing great! For us, the flavor of bonito is simply not enough… the westerners will cry if we add more bonito!No, it's just as good as I thought it would be in just five days! "

"I'm sorry... but the ingredients aren't enough flavor or texture for caron meat alone, and I trust that this kind of vanilla and seasoning is not boring.It won't be enough to take advantage of the beauty of Bona root. "

"Hmm! This is a strange enough flavor for us in Jagal, but it's still not enough for Lord Vulcus!And certainly, it doesn't taste like meat alone!It seems a lot different just by adding Ma Pra and so on, but how about that? "

"If you add Ma Pra, you will need to reassemble the seasoning formula to take advantage of its flavor and texture.It will take a few more days to get through it. "

"I see! That's how Lord Vulcus assembles his taste!It's really interesting! "

His Highness Dakarmas laughed joyfully and put his hand on the next dish.Now it's Jora's cooked snack.

I tried to do the same thing, but this one was also good.The tuna flakes are similarly similarly stewed in Jola's oil, resulting in a very gorgeous flavor.The herbs used here are probably Chit, Shishi and Myanz.The sesame hobby is also flooded, creating a pleasant fragrance with hobby oil, and the sweetness of the honey of Panam is caught on the back.Tau oil is the basis of the taste, but since the three types of vanilla are also responsible for pain and suffering, various flavors, excluding acidity, were woven into a fairly complex appearance.

"Hmmm... this tastes strange too!We'd love to hear from the cooks! "

His Highness Dakarmas pointed the water at him and the diamond smiled, "That's not true."

"I think it's very delicious, but... I understand Vulcan's indifference.If you're Vulcan, I'm sure you'll be able to incorporate more flavors and surprise the people you eat. "

"Hmm! How about Lord Bozzle, Lord Vulcan's apprentice?"

"Yes, I have been practicing with Vulcan for many years, so I eat a lot of these specimens.Perhaps this dish is 20% complete for Vulcan. "

"Twenty percent? With this mystery, it's still 20 percent complete?"

"Yes, there are no vegetables or fruits here either.When you combine those ingredients and further season them... instead of 20%, it may be 10% or more complete. "

His Majesty Dakarmas' big eyes turned towards me silently.

"Yes, I think I'm delicious, and I thought it was more like a Vulcan than an appetizer just now… but it would be Vulcan's essence to have more ingenuity from here.Somewhere, it feels like you've tasted the dishes you're about to cook. "

"Hmm! I'm sure it was less surprising than the appetizer we had five days ago... but now it's a surprising story that you're 10% or 20% complete!"

I'm impressed by your father, and Princess Del Share is nodding.Rather than the dishes themselves, they seem surprised by everyone's appreciation of Vulcans.Speaking of which, they haven't spoken of Vulcan's exhausted cuisine yet.

"Either way, we need Vulcans to cook in a normal environment!Let's have the last dish! "

The last dish is a snack of blue cheese.

There were many herbs used to relieve the intense flavor of blue cheese.This was difficult to discern, but the bitterness of Ila's leaves and the fragility of Myanz and Buchella were strongly felt.They suppressed the flavor of blue cheese and seemed to be tailored to a very edible flavor.

"Hmm! This is interesting!... what do you think of Genos who are not eating blue cheese?"

And for the first time, His Highness Dakarmas asked for his thoughts on the nobles lying down.

First of all, Malstein, who had stood right beside him, replied with a smile.

"If this were the case, I wouldn't be hard to eat at all.Let's make it a relaxing taste for fruit liquor. "

"I think so, too.Still, I find ordinary cheeses unbearable. "

Eurephia also follows with a relaxed smile.

"I see!" exclaimed His Highness Dakarmas, turning back to Vulcan.

"So this dish is also an unintentional success for Lord Vulcus?If you don't mind, I'd like to know what you mean! "

"Yes, we only succeeded in weakening the flavor of blue cheese.As Eurephia says, it's a taste that you wouldn't want for regular cheeses... but it doesn't make use of the original appeal of blue cheeses.In a nutshell, it's in the state of being the first to assemble a new flavor. "

"I see! Even young children in Jagal don't like blue cheese very much!Even these young children seem to be able to eat this dish without difficulty... they need more ingenuity to satisfy the uninhabited! "

"Yes, was it a very boring taste for the prince who originally liked blue cheese?"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, noThat didn't bore me anymore! "

His Highness Dakarmas is nothing but an eagle.

But I was aware of one fact.His Royal Highness has tasted three kinds of dishes and hasn't said a word of "delicious" yet.

Even though there are many positive statements such as great and interesting, I never say "delicious".And today, that bustling Princess Del Share hasn't said a word yet.

(You've been smiling so much, you seem satisfied... but I don't know what the truth is.)

Was Platica aware of these words and deeds of His Highness Dakarmas and others?

Somehow - I thought I'd get tight.
