Chapter 27: Eastern Trading Company “FujiYama”
On the west side of the mansion, there is a place lined with a carriage parking area and warehouses.
In the square in front of the closest warehouse to the kitchen,
I, Hunt, and Iris went out to meet the Eastern Trading Company caravan that had arrived.
Various products were already laid out in the square, and Han and I started checking them one by one.
“Wow, isn’t this bonito flakes?” (Ballad)
“What is it? It looks like a hard block of wood.”
“This is dried fish; you can make a good broth with it!” (Ballad)
“What is this tool? It’s made of round wood and has gaps.”
“That’s probably a steamer. It’s a tool to heat food with steam!”
“Oh, they have vanilla beans! This will advance the art of pastry making!”
Chatting about this and that with Hunt,
we bought various ingredients and tools.
However, unfortunately, I couldn’t find rice or the curry ingredients like cardamom, turmeric, and coriander.
The road to curry rice is still long.
The Eastern Trading Company, under the name “FujiYama,” was run by Takigawa, a short middle-aged man.
He promised to come to Ronma Town every two months from now on.
As I thought about it, I made my purchases.
After saying that “FujiYama” would be doing business in the Commercial Square of Ronma for 4-5 days before heading back, they left the mansion.
I passed a recipe to Hunt.
He immediately made “udon” using the bonito flakes in a delicious dish.
From a little distance, Cattleya was watching the scene.
“Just as I thought! Giving him the recipe means it’s a new dish!
I can’t wait to see what it is!”
“Ah! What are you doing here? Don’t slack off on work!”
“Rose, it’s not that I was slacking off.
I’m going to help with the taste testing of Hunt’s dish.”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying, but we still have work left to do.”
Grabbing Cattleya by the collar, I dragged her inside the mansion.
“Tasting the dish is important work too…”
That day, Mint was entrusted with the task of tasting Hunt’s udon as she finished her work early.
Cattleya wept tears of regret.
1047 days left until the planned date of death.
