Inviting you to the Kamado shed at the back of the main house, the refreirer opened his eyes wide.
"There's a lot of people there." Is this the daily routine of Fa's house? "
"Yeah. It's been like this for a while." See, you can't get enough of Dalai Mu's ingredients anymore, can you? That's why people are gathering more than ever to create delicious dishes with other ingredients. "
Sixteen people were standing by at the scene. The faces were one from each of the families of Fow, Lan, Sudra, Gaz, Matua, Ratz, Meme, Auro, Baem, Dagora, Ravitz, Naham, Vin, Din, Rid, and Sun - in short, the families that were usually involved in Fa's business were gathered together.
"There must be one representative from each clan so that there is no unfairness." I knew Tur-Din and Yun-Sudra, Malfira-Naham and Ray-Matua, and Faye-Baym, and a few others, right? "
“Yes, we greeted you with a feast of praise.”
And Gaz, and Ratz, and Rid, went forth. They were also to sit as guests at the glorification feast.
"At some point, I was able to make friends with so many people." Somehow... it's very emotional. "
With a gentle expression, Refreire pinched the bottom of her skirt again.
"I'm really sorry that I pushed you during your busy schedule." I'll try not to disturb you, so could you excuse me? "
"We are also pushing ourselves to Asta in the hope of making a difference." Don't worry about anything. ”
Yun-Sudra, who was a strong person, replied in that way on behalf of Kamadho.
In the meantime, the members who first met with the refreirers secretly exchanged words. His eyes were not only on refreire, but also on Chiffon-Cher.
"Ah, um... is that the Chiffon-Cher who transferred the gods from the north to the south?"
Lan's young ladies asked me that, and I said, "Yes."
"For now, I'll introduce you." This is the Lord Refreire of the House of Count Turan, and this is the maid Chiffon = Chel. What was the title of Sanjura? "
"I, Refreire, am a squire."
"Sanjura, a servant, and Dial and Lavis, the ironmongers you're familiar with in the stall."
Since the women who were gathered here were probably helping the stalls, there should be almost no people who didn't know Dialle and Lavis. Even the ladies of Fou, who are not in the stall business, should have met with Dials at the architect's farewell party last year.
"I was thinking about the tasting and the feast of praise... but it seems that the people around the forest are interested in Chiffon = Chel."
When Refreire said so, Yun-Sudra replied "Yes" again.
"Because Chiffon-Cher is so beautiful, everyone will be caught in the eye. There have been so many of those voices before.”
"Oh, is that so?" Of course, there's no doubt that Chiffon-Cher is looking good... but you guys are the same, right? Both men and women, the beauty of the forestside has earned them a reputation in the castle town. ”
"I think that Chiffon-Cher not only looks good, but also looks tall and healthy, so it feels extra beautiful. The people on the edge of the forest are growing up to think healthy and powerful people are beautiful."
Certainly, some of the people who could see Chiffon-Chelle seemed to have emotions such as longing and admiration in their eyes.
Yun-Sudra's refreire, convinced by the explanation, smiled as if to say, "Yes."
"I'm very proud to be described as beautiful by a proud maid."... I'm sorry. Chiffon-Cher is a bit special, so I'm worried about the eyes of the people who stick to it. "
"No, because we are the descendants of the family that moved God from the south to the west, there is no reason to evade Chiffon-Cher. Besides, don't you know that the people on the edge of the forest have little feelings of avoiding the people of the north?"
"That's right." For ye have strengthened the people of the north that work by the forest with delicious food.... I wonder if I'm stuck with the most prejudice. "
"It must be the vigilance that comes from caring for Chiffon-Cher." I don't think we need to worry about anything. ”
Having gone so far, I was finally able to grab my mouth.
"Yun-Sudra seems to have become very close to Refreire." Is it because of the tasting? "
"Huh? Well, I guess so. At the tasting, I was able to say hello for a few days... and I'm sorry I forgot to ask."
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.
So we decided to start the study group.
However, problems erupted there. Due to the large number of participating members today, it seems that it is difficult to welcome up to six guests to the cabin.
"Well then, Lavis, wait outside." You don't have to deposit your sword, so it's just right for you. If you open the door, you'll know what's inside! "
Lavis seemed to say something, but he said, "I understand."
Well then, I'll ask either Musul or Sanjura to wait for me.
“Well, I will,” Musul said, smiling. In this gentle expression, Refreire's face seemed rather surprising.
“I didn't think you'd volunteer for the worries. Is that how much you trust the people around the forest?"
“Yeah. If anything goes wrong, it's from the outside, not the inside of the building. Besides, I have a bigger body, so I'll be even more cramped."
As a result, Musul, who had received the sword from Sanjura, remained outside.
Musul laughs again as he looks down at Jilbe and Ram, who are waiting at his feet. In this short amount of time, she seemed to be familiar with Jilbe's appearance.
"In addition to the 20 soldiers, these watchdogs will not have the opportunity for me or Lord Lavis to wield the sword." Feel at ease with Princess Refreire. ”
Thank you very much. Goodbye, then.
Four people, Refreire, Dial, Chiffon-Chel and Sanjura, who had entered the Kamado Hut, lined the walls so as not to be disturbed.
The 16 Kamado numbers are divided into several people and surround the workbench. It was still quite a population density.
"Well then, let's start the study group again." Have you had any problems in the last two days? ”
When I called out to her like that, Vinn, a family member of Ravitz's, raised her hand.
"Um, this is nothing to tell Asta... but when I made him without using the dried stock, I still felt like he wasn't enough." No matter how many other vegetables you add, it doesn't seem to be a substitute for Aria. ”
"I see. I don't think the dry goods are cheap, so I can't hurry up?"
"No. I sometimes use dry goods in other dishes... but even if he does, he'll spend copper coins on vanilla, right?" So I realized that I had created him without using the dry goods. "
I was telling the nearby family how to make Giva curry, a Japanese-style soup stock, at a study session on the day of Lara-Lou's consultation. It seems to be a problem derived from it.
"Asta has been talking about the importance of Aria in his life." Because I didn't obey the words, I bought my family's displeasure. I'm ashamed of what I can't do. ”
"No, no, it's important not to waste copper coins, so don't be embarrassed." Even the person who said that the curry wasn't enough, didn't blame you, did they? "
"Yes, because I know his delicacies and I just feel like they are not enough, that's how I was encouraged."
"Yeah, yeah. Feeling like you're short on curry without aria means your tongue is getting fat." Then, it might be even more worthwhile to make a delicious dish. "
When I delivered those words, Vinn's crowd smiled secretly.
Vin was slower to get involved in Fa's business than Sun, so he probably had less room to save than the rest of the clan. Moreover, Vin was even more so because he was a descendant of Ravitz, whose desire was to be purely poor.
"Certainly, curry using dried stock makes copper coins cheaper than other dishes." But even now, we have to use expensive ingredients, so I think it's important to save money. ”
So I decided to reveal one of my ideas.
"Well then, based on what's going on around here, let's try a new curry today." I was wondering what would happen if I used the Kimusu Bone Gara instead of the dry stuff. "
"Bone galaxy? Not Gibba, but Kimus?"
"Yes. It takes half a day for Gibba's bone wax to get the stock." Besides, you can get Kimus' Bone Galaxy for free. In Fa's house, we always stock up on pico leaves. "
"I've heard a long time ago that Kimusu Bone Gara...... is also useful in kuri mushyu and soup dishes." It's just that I've never dealt with it in my house..... "
"The usual soup can get enough soup from just the meat and vegetables of Giba, and I've been using dried soup a lot lately." But I think the Kimus' Bone Gallus is as useful as the Dried Goods. Even the ramen noodles of the Levites, the stock is mainly made from the bones of kimusu gala. "
In the first place, the people around the forest don't deal in meat other than Giba, so they don't even have the chance to go to the meat shop. Therefore, even at the study session, I could not deny the feeling that the bones of Kimus were made second.
"It takes quite some time to get the stock from the kimusu noodles, so let's consider other agenda items while simmering them." Can someone bring me a pot of bones? "
"Yes!" said Rey-Matua cheerfully, so I decided to prepare the fire in the meantime.
There, the refreire who was quietly watching the spectacle shouted, "Oh," in surprise. The women around them all began to spread the book.
"The people around the forest also write down the cooking contents." Asta and I always thought it was all oral, because we didn't have to look at the details. ”
"I have written down everything I need on the books." But when I keep my kamado in the castle town, I usually memorize the contents after training. I guess that doesn't mean that I didn't have a chance to see it.
Laughing, I explained it like that.
Kurua-Sun, who is a participating member today, then speaks reluctantly.
"Um, Asta... what kind of letters do you use for bones?" I still don't know how to read and write much.... "
"Oh, I'm sorry. I don't remember either." I've written down words I don't usually use in my hometown letters. "
Then, the gentle Toole-Din immediately came to Klua-Sun. One of the most ancient people who began his reading and writing training, Toole-Din is much more reliable than I am.
While Claire-Sun is teaching her how to write "Bone Gala", Sanjula bends over and touches her ear to the refreire. The refreire was surprised and turned toward Klua-Sun.
"You were the one called Klua-Sun." I've heard of your accompaniment to the Crusade of the Evil Gods. "
Klua-Sun replied only "Yes".
It is very calm and calm. Over the past few days, Klua-Sun, who is learning to control the power of star reading under Alyshna, has become more mysterious than before.
Refreiya tried to repeat her words even further - but suddenly smiled as she noticed Tuul-Din's anxious expression on the side of Klua-Sun.
"As a nobleman of Genos, I am grateful for your service." But right now, it's time to train for a razor job. Don't worry about me, please encourage me. "
“Yes, thank you.”
Klua-Sun smiled more quietly, and Tuul-Din sighed in relief.
I'm sure that Refreire will be reminded of the curiosity of his precious presence and the curiosity to be played around with. Chiffon = Chel was staring at the refreire figure with a very gentle look.
After that, I threw the bone gala of Kimus into the iron pan from the pot that Rey-Matua had brought me. Explaining the amount, the firepower, and the time to put it on fire, many rabbits wrote it down on the books.
"So let's try cooking with kimusu bone gala in addition to curry." By the way, how many of you have dealt with Kimusu no Gara at home before? "
Only six people raised their hands. Yun-Sudra, Tur-Din, Malfira-Naham, Ray-Matua, and the faces of Fei-Baim and the women of Ratz. And out of them the women of the Rats cried out.
"However, the last time I used it was a few months ago, and I am still not familiar with it." Fish and dried seaweed were so convenient that I didn't really feel like using a kimusu bone galaxy. ”
“I see. We need salt and pico leaves to preserve the bone rice, and it's a hassle to go to the meat shop to buy it.”
Ratz's house, which has been helping Fa's house since ancient times, probably has lots of room for copper coins. As a result, I did not hesitate to buy and use dried products, and my interest in Kimusu Gara seemed to diminish.
“But Asta's right, while Dalai Lama is running out of ingredients, he's going to spend more copper than ever. If it's going to last for months, I think we should change our minds.”
“Yes, let's be conscious of that and come up with a new contribution. If you could make delicious food at a cheap cost, you wouldn't beat it.”
In the meantime, today we are going to use Kimusu noodles to select ingredients that are in harmony with curry and various kinds of soup dishes.
Until the bone broth is removed, it is prepared by mixing curry and vanilla, as well as other soup dishes. So I split the work, and when my hand was free for a while, Dial just started shouting.
"Hey, are the people around the forest so troubled by copper coins?" Even the ingredients you buy from Jaguar and other territories aren't that expensive, right? ”
"Yeah, it's not like I'm having a hard time living right now." But I think in the long run, the need for saving will come up. Because Fuwano is 50% more expensive than Poitin. "
"Hmm, I see. Speaking of which, the people around the forest just bought a bunch of new hounds!" That was quite an expense, wasn't it? "
“Yeah, but I've been buying hounds for a year now, so it looks like everyone's been saving up copper coins for that. Also, I got a reward for participating in the expedition, so I guess it helped my family's financial support as well."
Still, not wasting copper coins is a proud attribute of the people around the forest. Although it was recognized by all at the Parent Council that delicious food was not a waste - no, that's why we had to create delicious food while trying not to waste it.
"Even Aria and Poitan can buy from other territories." But then I have to add the cost of transportation, so it will be very expensive. So the freshness of the vegetables in Dalai Lama will fall, so I don't think there will be many buyers. ”
When the refreire also spoke, Dial said, "I see," and he looked up at the sky.
"I really liked the Tarapa food sold at Asta's stalls." I'm glad that Jaguar ingredients are used a lot now, but after spending months, I'm going to miss cooking Tarapa. "
"I guess I'm more of an aria than that." Tarapa's food can be heard in the castle town, but there's almost no such thing as an aria in circulation. ”
And Ray-Matua said, "Huh?” He raised his face.
"Isn't Aria sold in the castle town?" In the first place, the ingredients of Dalai Mu are still flowing to the castle town. ”
“Dalai Lama's ingredients are basically sold in preference to the territory outside the castle town. Since the people of the castle town have their own livelihood, they should be able to feed themselves with expensive ingredients that can be bought from other places. Of course, it seems that the inn and the cafeteria for the masses are wholesale as usual, so that the outpatients can be satisfied."
Having said that, Refreire shrugged her shoulders gracefully.
"So when it comes to Aria, the vegetables of the poor were originally given a scornful name, so they were hardly distributed in the castle town." I bet you used something you bought from Dalai Mu when you left the chefs in the woods. Even at that tasting, the castle chef didn't use aria, did he? ”
"Yes, if you ask me, it might be." However, Vulcus and his disciples seem to be using Aria normally..... "
"Vulcus doesn't care about the price or reputation of ingredients. If you think you need an aria for your food, you can buy it.”
That was quite a Vulcan story.
Ray-Matua sighed as she felt it.
"Is that how Aria was treated in the castle town? I love Aria so much... it feels kind of sad."
"An enlarged self-esteem is a clouding of your eyes. I was such a mass of self-esteem from a very young age, so I was made to feel more pain than anyone else."
After saying that, Refreire smiled reluctantly.
"However, I wonder if it's about the ingredients." If you're poor because it's selling cheap, it doesn't have anything to do with taste. So I pray that the field of Dalaym may be restored soon, because I am reminded of the delicious taste of Arya. "
"Yes! I can't wait to eat Aria!"
Ray-Matua wasn't too worried about the refreire either. They were fairly old, so it was a rather smiling picture of interaction.
And Chiffon-Chel, who watches, is a gaze of compassion reminiscent of her sister or mother. Refreire and Chiffon-Chel seemed to bond more and more over the days, and I was able to feel a warm feeling.
"Ah, you're getting a lot of ash." Even though the bones of the kimus are not as thick as the jiba, there is a lot of ash, so make sure to remove them often. "
Then, when the stock of bone marrow was approaching completion - from the doorboard that remained open, Musul called out "Asta-sama".
"The eldest brother of Ravitz wants to see you, but what can I do for you?"
"Eh?" turned her eyes to a crowd of women from the Ravitz sub-family who took turns with Lily-Lavitz to participate in the stall business. I tilted my head and headed towards the door.
"Thank you, it's shabby." Were you off hunting today? "
"Yeah. The hunting ground hasn't taken much damage, and the number of gibbs has calmed down, so I'm putting in a day off as usual."
Ravitz's eldest brother, who was small, hairstyled like a fallen warrior and had a bony face, responded like that with a smile.
"I heard today that the owner of the House of Count Turan was invited to the House of Fa, so I came to say hello. Is there anything inconvenient?"
"No, there's nothing inconvenient about it." You must be saying hello to Refreire at a tasting, too. ”
Ravitz's eldest brother, who now has an elusive personality, was well aware that he was not a bad person, and that he was curious without being seen.
However --- he has become a more powerful face after the expedition of the Order of the Evil Gods. From the outstanding forehead to the bald top of the head, a vivid sewing wound of 15 centimeters was carved into the head.
The refreire that I called in was to say "well" to the scar first.
"Ravitz's eldest brother was you, wasn't he?" What happened to that wound? "
"This is a hand injury when dealing with an unlikely being like the Shadow of the Evil God." It's not very sophisticated. "
"You were part of the expedition, too." I've heard that some people around the forest have been injured... but I'd like to thank you again for your courageous actions. "
Ravitz's eldest brother raised the edge of his mouth pleasantly as Refreire bowed his hand to his chest.
"I'm glad you're breathing." Are you watching Kamado's work now? "
“Yes, I wanted to see what it was like to live in the woods, so I asked.”
"Everyday life, is that it? It's like gathering the rest of the family together and doing the cooking. It's like Fa and Luu."
When the two names exchanged such words, Dialle, who was secretly looking at our situation, shouted "Wow" in surprise.
"Ah, I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation." It's a really big wound, so I was surprised. "
"Hmm? You... I see, today I was talking about inviting the daughter of the southern ironmonger."
"Yeah. I'm Dial from Zeland. Thank you."
Dial was not frightened by Ravitz's eldest brother's villainous appearance, and came out of the door with a smile on his face.
Chiffon-Chel and Sanjura are kept between refreire, so all the guests are here. Ravitz's eldest brother whispered, "I see."
"The aristocrats take their servants on foot, so how many of them will there be?" So you asked Sudra and Dinh's ladies to help you prepare the dinner? ”
“Yeah. Did you know that much?”
"That's all I've heard." By the way, do Sudra and Dinh's houses keep only the women in Fa's house? "
"No, this time, we're going to invite one man at a time." What is that? "
When I answered like that, Ravitz's eldest brother glistened with his diminished trilogy.
Well then, if you add me and the crowd of women from the sub-family to it, will the hall of the Fa's house be overflowing with people?
"Huh? No, I think we'll manage in a couple of days... but why?"
Why? Is your interest in humans outside the forest enough?
This sudden offer has confused me a bit.
"No, I don't mind at all, but... how about the reflares?"
"We will follow Asta's judgment." If you can connect with a lot of people, I'm glad. ”
"I'm with you, too." I'd be glad to hear about the expedition! "
"Well then, it's up to Ei = Fa." Of course, Ei = Fa wouldn't say no at all..... "
"Then, when the patriarch of Pharaoh declines, shall I tell the women of the division? Depending on the reply, the amount of dinner will change."
Ravitz's eldest brother turned up early, grinning.
"So, until then, I will spend time with my loved ones." I look forward to hearing from you, Asta. "
Then Ravitz's eldest brother left, and we were the only ones left.
"Somehow... that guy seems to be a personality you don't see very often around the forest." I've been thinking about it since I saw you at the tasting. "
"Yeah, but you're a friendly, talkative person!" Just looking at my face makes me look like a bandit! "
In the meantime, the reflares were somewhat surprised by his suddenness, but they didn't seem to have any bad impressions. Will his anxious standing of the people on the edge of the forest lead to friendliness instead?
Well, I hope that the Fa family can bond with the Ravitz people correctly. I didn't have a reason to evade his visit myself.
"Well then, let's go back." I'm going to make you a tasting dish, so please give me your honest feedback. ”
So we decided to go back and have a fun study session again.
