579 Episode 578: For the Dissemination of Food Culture

Side: a long time ago

Support measures for the full mining of limestone and marble in Kanabuyama Mountain were compiled as support for Ogaki.

It will include a full-scale open-air digging development plan for a mining site in Mount Kim Seng and the development of roads and river compacts for transport. Wherever water transport can be used, it will be good to use trolleys and railway carriages for the land part in the future.

Well, as things stand, we need to develop mountains and develop minimal roads.

Locally in the middle of Nishi Mino's throat, I would like to start the Oda's role in Nishi Mino in earnest. Four years ago, I was an instructor in the renovation of Ogaki Castle, but things have changed a lot since then.

There are also many independent lords, such as Ando and Inari, who are still three people in Nishi Mino. The subordination of the Saito family is also close, and the difference between those who follow and those who do not follow Oda needs to be clearly demonstrated to Nishimi no.

In the center of the table there is a pot of earth that is cooked with guts. In the middle of the table there was a small firebowl that could be embedded, on top of which was a pot cooking earthen pot, as often seen in the original world.

It will be me and Elle, Pamela and Mirror Flowers surrounding the pan, Nobunaga, Shinkan and Yoshiro.

The table is here, of course. Nobunaga and Shinkan came to our next evaluation meeting, but it's lunch, so we served lunch. The menu is a stopover.

Nobunaga often eats rice at our house, so it's not uncommon, but Shinkan and Yoshiro look rarely at this one, which can be used as a rare table, and the earthen pot for pot dishes that we don't see in this era.

For the record, Ogi currently has a table with a set of chairs and a table and a low table to sit on the floor and use. In addition, we use low tables in the winter by ordering something that can be used as an octopus.

The table itself seems to be selling plain as ever. It wasn't originally Ozhang, but it seems to be spreading in Ozhang around samurai, temples, etc.

"It's time. Yojiro and Shinkuro will pick you up."

Nobunaga is totally used to our routine, so he takes what he wants from the pot himself and starts eating, but Shinkan and Yoshiryu are confused because they are not in that habit. Elle is splitting it between you two like that.

As I've explained many times, meals are basically meals in this day and age. I guess we don't all have the experience to surround the pan because we don't have a table. You'd have experience with an enclosure pot if you weren't in a low profile.

However, it's easier to stop questioning what we do these days. Everyone convinces me once and for all when it comes to the way of Kuyuan's house.

"Speaking of which, it's a mirror flower. How's the Nanban ship dismantling?

"It's going well. We're all motivated, so we remember things."

Me, Pamela and Mirror Flowers were also eating themselves out of the pan, but Shinagawa asked Mirror Flowers what was going on when he saw the Mirror Flowers and thought of last year's real Nanban ship, the two Carracks.

Mirror flowers are usually in Krabby River mansions. In fact, our mansion, which was built on the Krabby River, is being completed at the end of last year. Mirei and Emile, who entrust the Krabby River, have also stayed in the Krabby River since coming to Ozhang on New Year's Eve, so the three will now be staying in the Krabby River.

In particular, Mirror Flowers has instructed ship carpenters to dismantle Nanban ships, and will be teaching and studying how to build Nanban ships with tailings using dismantled Nanban ships in the future.

The demolished Nanban ship is also scheduled to be repaired and renovated to operate. The Sage Navy has lent carabel ships, and more sailors are able to operate Nanban ships.

It will be used for trading to Kanto or for regular ships with our island. Kurumi had a hard time on his trip to the island last year, but he still encourages his training by saying he wants to go again.

The next time you go, you'll be going with our ship, but it's cheaper and faster to complete than the new shipbuilding. They expect the Sage Navy.

"Tofu, delicious ~"

Pamela, on the other hand, had a cheeky grin with a reasonably flavorful stained cotton tofu. You don't look like a doctor when you look at it like this.

"Today's tofu is what the young lady bought me from a tofu shop in Qingzhou."

Elle teaches such Pamela about tofu today, but there has actually been a tofu shop in Chingzhou for some time now. It's an elderly man of the sneaky crowd who's making it.

I wonder if management will be ours. We have the funds and the materials.

Because there are more sneakers. I sent out tofu shops to diversify my food culture and do more of their work.

The menu consists of "Ooh", a secondary product of snowflake vegetables for pickling miso of silken tofu, cotton tofu, fried tofu, frozen tofu, and tofu.

Tofu is a luxury product in times, so I haven't made it that cheap. Because it takes a lot of work, and it costs money for fuel and so on.

Other than that, they also teach hard tofu, so when they settle down, they'll need to try and sell a lot to figure out which ones they can sell.

But the tofu store isn't a bad seller. Of course the Oda family will buy it with the temple, right? The inhabitants can't buy anything but snowflakes as things stand without excitement.

Until the middle of the Edo period in the original world, the common people didn't have access to it as a luxury product, but I think it would also make sense to spread what is also in these times.

Since frozen tofu and tofu pickled in miso can also be preserved, I believe it can also be sold to a growing number of merchants from the neighborhood these days. Snowflakes are inexpensive and nutritionally excellent, but the majority are carried to the ranch because of the lack of sunshine and the method of cooking, or way of eating, is not widespread.

"I heard the tofu shop is Kuyuan's shop?

"Yeah, you're putting it out on us in terms of money. I thought it would be good for older people to work."

Warm pots are really delicious because of the cold weather. It also contains shiitake mushrooms, as well as stock taken with kelp.

As I was eating at my pace listening to everyone, it was Yoshiryu who had been interested to hear about the tofu store.

"Why did they send out tofu shops?

Me and Elle get a bit of a bitter laugh at Yoshiryu's doubts. Is it because I felt like everyone in the Oda family was still telling me in the shadows if I was willing to make money?

I don't know because Yoshiryu is a person without a very good backdrop.

"Tofu is good for your body. And it's delicious. If anyone can eat this, more people will be able to live longer. Even more fundamentally, it's better to sell more customers to them than to sell less customers to them. Besides, tofu is something that a temple would know. Spreading the word won't hurt us."

Shinkan-san seems to understand the approximate reason. No surprise. Enriching the people makes the country stronger and bigger. I'm not a rich soldier, but I must have that image.

The garlic is available in salt making and the soybeans themselves are cheap. If fuel also goes ahead with efficient charcoal production, afforestation, etc., then we should not be talking about a future that is so far away that ordinary people will be able to eat.

"I didn't expect to even think about that..."

"I don't take it away, I increase it. It's difficult, but I think you need to make that ideal. We can help you now."

It would be difficult to try to imitate it in other countries. Although it would be possible to develop new fields and restore cultivated abandoned land. Even that is the time when we do not have the funds to move forward. The Oda family is cheesy.

Nevertheless, it is imperative to raise the standard of living of the people in order to develop society.

"You mean the same story about making walnut paper in Mino?"

"Yeah. That's right. Speaking of paper making, it would be Mino. I think you would like it if it were Mino's new cheap paper. Ozhang has a lot to make, and production doesn't keep up. What is possible even with Mino is to spread it out to Mino in turn. In that sense, it really helps the Saito family."

Yoshiryu doesn't stick to preconceived or existing values that much, so he understands them relatively quickly if explained.

As far as paper is concerned, we are considering whether it should also be produced in the upper four counties of Ozhang, but customers have as many. Demand will continue to grow in the future, but it will not be possible to reduce it.

I expect it from Yoshiryu. I want you to do your best.

◆ ◆ ◆ ◆

There are still several statements that there was a tofu shop in Qingzhou during the astronomical year.

According to Shiqing Takikagawa's "Journal of Shiqing", this seems to be the shop that he had let out at the Kuyuan house, and opened it as one of the jobs of those who served the Kuyuan house, then called the Ninja crowd.

Tofu was such a luxury product that it could not be spoken of by ordinary people at the time, but a horse tells them that he wondered if it could be spread to ordinary people.

There are occasional criticisms that the Kuyuan family was extravagant, but the fact that it was also the Kuyuan family that made a double effort to get the various things into the hands of the common people is unshakable.

Safe from the fact that it was the same Kuyuan shop as Hachiya at the time, it seemed to have been loved by the samurai to the monks to the inhabitants.

At present, there is no store itself left, but Kuyuan food has taken over its tradition, and what it is making at the time as Warring States tofu is sold.
