1045 Tasting and Inn Edition ② ~ Opening ~

"I am delighted to have a successful tasting today."

As soon as he arrived at his seat, Pollus stood up and began his opening remarks.

I arrived in a side-by-side seat with exactly the same face as last time.From the far right you will find His Highness Dakarmas and Princess Del Share, Marquis Martin, Merfried, Eurifia, Odifia, Roberts as Head of Mission, Forta, Clerk, Earl of Durham, Porcus, Merrim, Diplomat Fermez, Genos Diplomat and his companions, Count Saturus Luidros, Leheim, and Count Turan Refraea, Torsto.

"Let's start by welcoming today's cuisine and the people who worked on it.Please clear the way from the door to the wall and wait. "

The door was opened by the hand of the fiancée when the people who sat near the door hurried about.

The cooked wagon, the underlings and maids who pushed it, and the people in the inn in white came in. Five days ago, we were in a position to watch the entrance.

The people at the inn who cooked seemed so nervous.It would be more difficult to be nervous because our food is eaten by royalty and aristocracy, and even compared to taste.

The wagon will be carried to the booth by the wall, and the people of the inn will be guided to your lined seats.As they all gathered, Porcus began to introduce the inn's cooks.

Levi and Lars in "Kimus's Tail Pavilion", Naudis in "Tai Tree Pavilion in the South", Nai in "Xuan Ong Pavilion", Louise in "Westwind Pavilion" and Jesse in "Lamlia's Tortoise Pavilion" - that's all I know about the name, "Tanto's Benefit Pavilion", "Arrow's Potty Pavilion" and "Randall's Long Ear Pavilion" are strangers.All of them are paired with assistants.

However, with regard to the inn where the cook's turn was held by a person other than the owner, the owner or his/her agent accompanied him/her.Four people know their names there: Terria-Mouth, Samus, Tapas, and Rema-Gate.Since it was an arrangement that up to two people were involved in cooking, those people were dressed in a splendid manner that could not be cooked.

"So, the eight inns have prepared today's dishes.We'll taste it the same way we did five days ago, and we'll do a taste comparison ritual. "

People speak politely and listen to Pollus.

This time, it was said that there were 19 of you, 38 of the chefs in the castle town, 21 of the people involved in the inn, 8 of the Kamado number near the forest, and 7 other guests, a total of 93.

However, people who serve food do not have the right to vote, but they have the right to taste, so more than 20 dishes will be needed.Although each dish was made one at a time, it would have been a lot of effort.

"Speaking of which, I'm glad Roy and the others were allowed to attend.Are the owners of other restaurants the only ones who want them? "

When I sneaked up, Roy whispered, "Oh."

"Looks like the royals heard our reputation somewhere. Only Ginseng-do was allowed to attend.

That is the information network of His Highness Dakarmas.

And while I was impressed, Pollus's greeting was coming to an end.

"Now we are going to start a tasting session.We will start the taste comparison ritual in an instant, so please proceed with a tasting with that in mind. "

Just like five days ago, only eight people in charge stayed at your seats, and the assistants and shopkeepers moved to their booths.

The people in the main hall line up in a booth close by without haste or noise.As I watched it, I was biting a new emotion again.

(Well, will the Levites also explain their dishes while tasting in front of you?Whatever I say... this is a big job.)

In any case, we had to do our part.

Say goodbye to Reina Lou and Roy and look for a booth that might be available.Me, Ai-Fa, Tour-Din, Mime, and Arishna.Ai Fa, who was perfectly beside me, looked sideways at Arishna, who followed him with a shy step.

"... I wonder if Platica and K'Kluel came because the meeting started?"

"Yes, but in this crowd, it's hard to find, and I have the joy of being with Asta and Ai-Fa."

That said, Arishna leaned her head like an elegant shamcat.

"Ey-fa, am I shying away?I feel sad because I like it. "

"No, I'm not shying away all the time...", Ey-Fa clouds his words.Originally, Ai-Fa and Arishna didn't go so well together.

But when the cult threatened the peace, they held hands together.Also, because Arishna was so heartbroken by Chil-Rim, who was in a pitiful situation, Ai-Fa should have been struck by her kindness.

(But I wonder if I can get rid of my bad consciousness.Arishna has a bit of a unique personality)

With that in mind, we decided to line up.

For the eight booths, there are just over 70 attendees freely moving around the hall.However, since the maids and maids carry the food for you, their rows will be long.

After a while, it was our turn to receive the cooking - that was Kimus's Tail Pavilion booth.The dishes are served by Lars in white, while Terria-Mouth, with his anxious face, refrains from serving.

"Welcome, did you just come to eat?"

"Ah, yes. Did Levi stay with you?"

"Yeah, I'm not too afraid of people like you talking in front of you."

Lars is a very gentle father, but he was originally a slum-dweller who lost his life in gambling.In addition, the squid found out at the casino and took two fingers from her right hand.

"You must be tired of eating food for the asters, but please eat it."

"No, we don't eat that much all the time.I was looking forward to Hisasa ramen. "

Well then, wait a minute.

I just ran out of places to make it, so I was able to boil new noodles.Today, I was allowed to cook at the scene.Although it is an industry that is not possible in a normal castle town meeting, it is likely that the street stalls in the post town have a lot of dedication to finish at the site.

Soon a year later, Lars will be accompanied by ramen at the castle town palace.This was also quite an extraordinary sight.

Besides, Lars looks like he's wearing white cooking clothes.It suited me a lot better than I imagined and really was the owner of the ramen shop.

"Terria-Mouth, are you okay?Though it seems a lot anxious..... "

And Toul-Din calls out to Terria-Mouth, who stood beside Lars.Terria-Mouth, wearing the same one-piece costume as last time, said "yes" to his heart.

"Don't worry about Levi getting scolded by you guys... Aster, are you sure you're okay?"

"It's all right. You know the size of Her Highness Dakarmas and Princess Del Share, Terria-Mouth?I didn't know any manners, but I didn't get scolded. "

"Really..." Terria-Mouth sighs.Terria-Mouth, who doesn't hate television, would be more worried than anyone.

So when we were talking, the people lined up behind us left.After seeing that the food had not been served for a while, he would have gone to another booth.

There's a new figure approaching.

It was a young man unfamiliar with diamonds and timaro.Diamond and the Earl's cook should be allowed to bring their disciples, so they must be Diamond's disciples.

"Oh, you've finally met me.Congratulations to everyone around the forest. "

First of all, the diamond greets me with a smile.Thereafter, Timaro looked hard at him.

"I've never seen you so often.I'm very happy. "

"Welcome... but Timaro doesn't seem very happy."

"That's not true. It's just...."

With that much to say, Timaro snapped his mouth.

Diamonds will then explain it to you instead.

"We've just had another dish over there, but I was really surprised because it was great."

"Ah, have you eaten another dish yet?Where do you cook in the inn? "

The answer was "Daikokutei in the South."

When I'm convinced, "I see," Timaro looks up.

"Lord Astor, what if the innkeepers had Astor at their disposal?I thought it was a way of communicating with Astard somewhere. "

"No, it looks like your husband was originally good at cooking.However, I've been selling my food for a long time before... so it might be somewhat influential. "

Answering like that, I pointed to Lars who works at the booth.

"I cooked at this inn called Kimus's Tail Pavilion.But it was the innkeepers who finished this dish. "

Timaro turned his back on Lars with a tough face.

Lars, who was just cutting noodles, smiled as he separated them into bowls.

"It's almost done, so please wait a moment."

On top of the noodles in the soup, they are topped with hot Onda and Nanar and marmallow chit-pickled toppings.An additional half of the mini ramen originally sold on the street was of any size and was not accompanied by a giba char siu.

"Sorry to keep you waiting.My money... oh, my gosh, my usual teasing has come out. "

Today, ramen is served in a ceramic vessel prepared in the castle town.Even if these four and Timaro took it, there were still three vessels left on the table.

"If you leave it alone, it'll get cold.Miss, I'm sorry, but would you please speak to the people around here? "

"Ah, yes, I understand."

In the voice of Terria-Mouth, the people who were walking nearby also stopped by.

In the meantime, we will eat prepared ramen.

Eating ramen from Ramen was rusty, but it was as delicious as ever.

There is plenty of minced gibba in the topping of the maromaro chit-pickle.At this size, you won't feel the absence of char siu.It has a unique taste similar to the bean-and-mouth noodles I developed.

"This is also an unbeatable delicacy to the food I just cooked."

Diamonds breathed satisfactorily, and Timaro and the young man looked amazed.

"Is this kind of food... sold on the street in the town of the stadium?"

In response to Timaro's dazed question, Lars, who had started boiling new noodles, replied "hey."

"In the next white moon, is it about a year?It's thanks to Asta that amateurs like you can cook a lot of food. "

"... if you'll excuse me, has your husband been a cook before?"

"I don't believe your husband. I am the new entrant who is seated at the end of Kimus's Tail Pavilion.Until Asta gets on the hook, I'll give you something to eat. "

Timaro looked more stunned and turned to me again.

I finished eating early, I'll give you a supplementary explanation.

"Even if I said it was handy, I just paused for a few days.The rest is the result of your efforts.At the end of the day, I only told you how to treat chicken mackerel. "

"What an amazing story... how many people in this castle town can handle maromallo chit-pickles like this?"

Timaro raised his unexpectedly soft fingertips to a much wider forehead.

"Besides, it tastes like this stew.This is Kimus's broth, right?If it doesn't take too much effort, you won't be able to get this much stock.Combined with the flavors of chicken pickles and miso in Maromaro, it completes an unrivalled flavor.I can't believe how many dishes are sold in the town of the stadium....! "

"Guys, thanks to Astor, we can do this."

"No, ramen is not a dish that can be finished overnight.Lars and Levi's efforts bore fruit. "

Sure, I taught the Ramen recipes to the Lars.At least it would have been impossible for Lars alone to devise Chinese noodles.

But again, it was only for a few days.It was supposed to take unparalleled enthusiasm for a person who was not a cook to learn from scratch, from noodle making to soup preparation, to achieve this degree of completeness.

"I was really surprised because I only eat at the stalls of the people around the forest in the post town.I've only spoken of lids yet, but I can't decide who to star at anymore. "

That's what Dia said.

As well as diamonds, Timaro is one of the best cooks in the castle town.It was as far as I was comfortable to hear the words from both names.

"Three days later, we were instrumental in serving food.If I don't do my best, I won't be disappointed by the townspeople. "

"Only Dia, such a thing!... but we need to do our best. "

Timaro's eyes are burning brightly.Then Toul-Din, who had been quiet for a long time, shouted.

"Um, will Timaro serve food at a tasting in three days?"

"Of course! Eight people have been elected, but there's no way I'm going to get rid of them!"

"I see.... I'm really looking forward to seeing Timaro cooking in three days because it's really rusty."

When Toul-Din smiled, Timaro coughed again.

"Next, will there be a tasting party for the people around the forest?I am also looking forward to Lord Tour-din's sweets. "

"Yes, I will do my best not to disappoint you."

By the way, Timaro was once in a position to advise Tour-din that he "should taste the sweets of diamonds".This is how we now have a place to talk with Diamonds.It was also a fact that allowed us to reconfirm the length of time we have spent.

Eventually, Timaro and Diamond got to know Lars.His majestic deeds brought us such a strange fate.

"Well then, we're also going to try the next dish.If you have time later, please exchange your opinions. "

That said, we decided to go to the next booth.

Along the way, I will also speak to Arishna.

"Has Arishna ever eaten ramen?At least I've never had a ramen with a marmallow chicken dip. "

"Yes, it was delicious. I don't think there are so many delicious dishes in the castle town."

"Lars, the ramen is really delicious!I love it too! "

Mime joined the conversation, laughing with a smile.

"Besides, they said that the other inn's cuisine was not defeated.It's been a long time since Easter, so I'm looking forward to it! "

"Yes, I appreciate that Platica and Nicola are doing well on your street.I'm looking forward to it because I'm rusty too. "

Then, when we arrived at the next booth, Yun-Sudra, who had just broken up, made a row there.The escort accompanying him is Sin-Lou.

"Hey, I just ran into you.Waiting for the cooking to finish? "

Yes, this is the street stall of Westwind Pavilion.

It is Louis, a friend of Yumi's, who works in the stall.Louis, a girl from a very ordinary workplace town, is cooking in a castle town cooking outfit.This is also quite a strange sight.

And besides that, Sam with his arm folded over.

"What is it, the people around the forest again?I'm just starting to bake, so please wait a while. "

Sam was wearing a fine outfit, but he was a bandit leader somewhere because of his formerly rough appearance.

By the way, Yumi and Sil originally received the cooking in the restaurant of Nishi Wind Pavilion.So why Louis was pulled out instead of Sil - because Sam was reluctant to leave his partner in the castle town without himself, and because three members of his family avoided vacating the inn at the same time.

If Yumi had been his husband's agent, Sam wouldn't have had to come.It seems that I didn't feel like leaving it to my daughter this time.If my daughter was in danger, I didn't feel the temptation to say that the opponent might be noble but royal, but it wasn't just that.

(Looks like Sam is a kind man.)

I'm convinced by myself, Louis says, "Hot!"she cried. Apparently, I accidentally touched a hot iron plate.

"Hey, are you okay? I can't eat your fingers."

"It's okay, I was just looking around...."

Louis answers in that way, dyeing her cheeks red.And his eyes seemed to glimpse Sin-Lou.

With Yumi's advice, Louis was supposed to have sealed his slight love for Sin-Lou, but this brazen samurai figure will catch his eye.It was also an organ of sinful Sin-Lou.

"Oh, thank you for waiting. Please cook."

Eventually, the finished dish is put on the plate.

"Nishi Wind Pavilion" served a new okonomiyaki.It is a so-called mixed okonomiyaki that uses not only gibberish meat, but also mallows that resemble amari shrimp and nuyopa that resembles squid octopuses.

A few months ago, when I was told that there was such an okonomiyaki in my hometown, Yumi was intrigued and completed this offering."Western Wind Pavilion" says that expensive food is hard for buyers to buy, but sometimes people who win big gambling and so on seek luxurious food.In preparation for that, he said that he had devised an eye-catching dish that would be a sign for the store.

In addition, this okonomiyaki uses seaweed stock, gingo, and eggs in the dough, as well as gamma cheese.

In addition, the seasoning was topped with a spicy sauce with fish sauce and maromaro chicken dipping.While Tino can't be used during the rainy season, Chijimi style okonomiyaki is served in Westwind Pavilion, where this spicy sauce is used.This year, it was upgraded with Geld's ingredients.

At the same time, it was accompanied by mayonnaise as usual, but this is also in harmony with the spicy sauce.I'm sure our willingness to finish it gorgeously without twisting our heads has produced this result.It was a truly humorous effort and a wonderful finish.

"Wow, this is my first time eating this!It's amazing how many ingredients we use, but the flavor doesn't hit! "

That's what Mime said, and Tour-din agreed.

"Reina Lou also used Gibba meat and mallow to come up with a brilliant soup dish... and I think it's amazing that you can use it even at the same time as Nuñopa.Will the strong taste of Mayonnaise and Sosu harmonise these ingredients? "

"I see. What do the people in the castle think of this dish?"

When I asked, Louis, who was preparing a new fabric, smiled.

"Earlier, I heard people in the castle talking, but I was surprised... that I had never seen such a rough dish."

"Ah, I wonder if mixing this much ingredient into the dough and baking it makes you feel violent."

"Yes, but it wasn't like I was accusing you."

So, were you surprised that it was delicious to be such a rough dish?

It would have been a pleasure if the chefs in the castle town had also understood the usefulness of mayonnaise.

"... hey, Yumi's not coming back at all.Aren't you obsessed with the nobles? "

And Sam calls me.

I had to reassure your daughter, Sam.

"Over there, we're doing a tasting while explaining eight different dishes.I don't think I'll be back in half an hour. "

"Hmm. When I get back, I just hope my neck and torso aren't broken up."

We were forced to retreat because of the new crowd.

Here we have to taste eight kinds of dishes in two.I decided to go to the next booth so that I could play that role within the time limit of moments.

Due to the small number of people who cook on-site, the hall has a variety of scents.

But the next booth smelled sweet enough to pressure it.

And there was no human figure to work on the spot, and instead, Lema-Gate, dressed in a loud costume, stood up like a hill.This was Arrow's Booth.

"Ah, well done, Lema-Gate.I knew you were serving sweets in Arrow's Crumbling Pavilion. "

Tour-din spoke to Lema-Gate earlier than I did.

Today, Lema Gate, who also put on her primary color makeup, said from her nose, "Hmm!"and exhales his nose with pleasure.

"Of course, we have a reputation for sweets.Of course, I can't beat normal cooking, but I don't think there's any way I could help another inn. "

"Yes, I think Odifia would be delighted if she could taste the sweets from Arrow's Crumb Pavilion.... speaking of which, did someone from Genos Castle come to the stall? "

"I won't do that.It must have been a noble social resignation anyway. "

"Really... maybe he asked me about today's tasting and thought about putting up with it until then.It would be preferable to eat it here for the first time in order to come to the ritual of taste comparison. "

Speaking like that, Tour-din smiled.

"Anyway, Odifia will be delighted.By now, they might already be talking about it there. "

At that time, Ey-Fa looked back subtly.My daughter, a maid with a basin, was approaching us with a chickpea.

"I brought you the next dish.I really want you to take this with your own feet. "

"It's embarrassing. A labourer doesn't complain to his husband."

"Yes," said the daughter, shrugging her shoulders in a colorful manner.

I think she is the daughter who usually works at the stall of "Arrow's Crumb Pavilion".She also appeared to be in cooking clothes, so she seemed to have overlooked them during the introduction earlier.

The tall, colorful daughter noticed our presence and smiled "oh."

"Who do you think is around the forest?Your masculinity is a bit rusty. "

I'm the only man here.While I felt Eye-Fa's gaze on my right cheek, I lowered my head and said, "Hi."

"It's been a long time. You wanted it too."

"Ah, my heartless master is using me as a cookie.Have you eaten our sweets yet? "

No, I was just about to take it.

This booth is lined up with plates of confectionery.Sometimes replenishing it means you don't have to be close.

The confectionery prepared there was a slightly blue and purple bun head.It's probably a blueberry-like Amansa treat because today it was meant to use Geld's ingredients. It's a very cute size, just like the Dafukumochi made by Limi Lou five days ago.

Mime was the first to say, "Delicious!"

Tour-din already knew this sweet because he bought it every time a new one came up for sale at Arrow's Crumb Pavilion.She chewed the taste of Amansa buns with an extremely satisfying expression.

This is the first time I've spoken to you.

With due expectation, the bun head was thrown into the mouth, and the blue-purple fabric collapsed to dissolve, and the sweetness of the filling inside ran through the mouth.

It is as rich and sweet as Arrow's confectionery, which was once tasted at Easter.The original acidity is pulled in like a hidden taste, accentuating even the sweetness.And the taste was as soft as cream, making the person who eats it naughty.

"Oh, this is delicious.I'm sure you'll be happy with the people in the castle. "

"Hmm. If your sweets and dishes are served, we can't complain."

"But it's really delicious," Arishna said in a quiet voice.

Lema-Gate glanced at you and said, "Ah?"and frowned.

"You... I thought you were that Geld's daughter, but you're totally different.Why do the people of the East live in such a place? "

"I've been invited since last time.My name is astrologer Arishna. "

Arishna pretends and repeats her words.

"I'm not a cook, but I think this sweet is wonderful.Such delicious sweets are rare in the castle town. "

"... do you live in the castle town?"

"Yes, I've been with you for about two and a half years, Housekeeper Genos."

"Hmm, if that's what people have been saying for so long, I'm sure."

Lema-Gate spread his nose satisfactorily.

The encounter between Arishna and Rema-Gate is also quite a camellia for me.

(Well, if I told you that, you wouldn't be happy.)

People around the castle town, the post town, and the forest are eating the same food in a mess.I was comfortable being reminded of how strange and irreplaceable it was.
