Chapter 542 – [God Is Watching!]

For a while, tofu was an integral part of Emerald Palace’s cuisine.

It deserves it. It was because the chefs at the palace told me to handle and cook tofu until I got used to it, gave them some recipes, and matched them with the results of their practice.

When the environment of this place is added to the ingredient called tofu, a dish unique to this place comes out. There are similarities, but nothing is the same. Cooking is like that, so the possibilities are endless.

“But I don’t think it’s a bit strange to only have tofu for three meals a day.”

“Oh, come to think of it, tofu is good for losing weight”

“……..”

Leticia, who was dissatisfied, was sunk!

In fact, it is real. Because tofu’s main ingredient is protein, not fat or carbohydrates.

For reference, the most fattening thing is carbohydrates. Not fat I know very well about this.

So it’s better to stay away from flour and close to meat, folks. Oh, what’s wrong? Meat is always right!

“Today’s dessert is tofu snacks made by deep-fried tofu”

“Oh, did you get this far?”

“…Is this a dish you know?”

“No, I just wanted to be proud. Shall I give you a prize money separately? Oh, that would be nice.”

If you make a recipe that I can approve of, it would be nice to hold a separate event to give a prize to motivate you. Well, because motivation is an important issue.

Anyway, while I was watching my work while eating a contradictory tofu snack that was crispy, greasy and light, Walter unexpectedly returned from the Third Royal.

“I heard you made a new ingredient!!!!!”

“I have a big! I have the eyes I see. Go to the kitchen, there’s a tofu I made there.”

“Yes!!!!!”

Walter ran to the kitchen. Hagisa: For cooks, new ingredients must be welcomed, but at the same time, they are challenges and trials.

Depending on what you make with it, you can show off your chef’s skills and talents…

“Mmmm, at this level, it seems to work for the elves in the Great Forest of Urca as well.”

“Is that so”

“It has a nice savory taste and a light taste. It’s not stimulating, so it’s probably popular with people who are tired of strong-tasting dishes.”

“Hmm……”

“Maybe I can earn a share with the recipe for making tofu…”

“No, I’ll solve the recipe.”

“Really?”

While talking with the older sister of the 1st princess, who came to play after hearing the news that I made tofu, I started thinking about it.

“If you copy it, it will spread as you copy it, but if it requires know-how to make it, it is difficult to copy it easily. Besides, if the new ingredient has a taste, even more.

“It has nothing to do with eating delicious food. Even commoners can eat the dishes that nobles eat if they make it themselves.”

“That’s… That’s right”

“So I don’t intend to make a distinction there.”

On the continent, no, the status system, including the demon world, is used only by humans.

There are demon kings in the world of demons, but humans are the only ones who are judged as one of the blood relatives below them and divide the difference in status.

So slavery was abolished a long time ago. Hmm…The first king of a kingdom was the first to abolish slavery, but I kinda like that, anyway.

When it comes to delicious things, rank or status doesn’t matter. Delicious is delicious No one has the right to not eat delicious food.

“I’m going to put tofu dishes out at Third Royale for a while, spread them out a bit, and then I’ll work out the recipe. That way it will work.”

“That’s a good idea.”

“Does your sister like tofu too?”

“The light taste is my taste. Well, I liked it.”

“Actually, tofu is good for losing weight.”

“……..”

My sister was also captured. No, why is the word “Lose weight” A fatal blow to a woman?

Even though I was a woman, I was never really enticed by the idea of ​​losing weight. To be honest, when I ate, I didn’t pay attention to whether all the calories moved as I ate or went to my breasts… So I became huge breasts because I couldn’t get enough of my big breasts, but anyway, losing weight seems to be straight-forward for a woman.

If you are in a low class, gaining weight is proof of your leisure, but conversely, if you are in a high class, gaining less weight is proof of your leisure. Well, when you think about it, it makes sense, somehow.

“It is said that among the places to visit this time, additional visits will be made in the Garuna plains and one kingdom.”

“Okay?”

“I’m still thinking about the White Church, but… No matter how late it is, I’d like to make a decision and send someone before the Pandemonium delegation visits.”

“Then, first of all, should I make a dish that would suit the tastes of the beastmen from Garuna and the people of the same kingdom?”

“It seems to be a problem that needs to be addressed quite a bit.”

“Still, if it’s a personal problem, we can get over it. It’s enough just to let each person eat what they want to eat. Of course, it’s a problem to adjust the party menu in moderation, but whatever.”

It’s rare to find someone who eats a meal at a party. You’ll have to cook the minimum, though, but you don’t have to make it with all the goddamn effort anyway.

Party food is nothing more than party food. Finger food, appetizer, hors d’oeuvre, etc. Main or everything will go here.

“As expected, Your Highness’s palace will know as much as the taste of food.”

“Isn’t it? Even a lady-in-waiting from our palace won’t kneel anywhere, no matter what.”

It’s been a while since I made tofu, and one day with a few days left before my birthday.

When I woke up, I felt a sweet smell spreading somewhere.

It’s not just a sweet smell, it spreads like red bean porridge. It was so sweet that I woke up in my sleep.

“Meme? Are the kids making dalgona?

“Ah, Your Highness. Are you awake?”

“What are you doing to be so sweet?”

“They said they were researching other recipes in the kitchen…”

“Oh, then you can’t be king”

However, I became curious about what was being boiled to such an extent that the palace smelled sweet.

I roughly washed up and headed to the kitchen. There were cooks simmering something.

A boiling pot smells sweet. It was also a mixture of dark brown and red, so it had an atmosphere like red bean porridge.

“What me? What the hell?”

“Ah! I’m sorry, Your Highness. I’m researching a new recipe, but it seems to have failed.”

“What is it? Please explain”

“I thought I’d make tofu from beans called red beans from one kingdom, so I ground them and boiled them, but it doesn’t harden well the way I make tofu…”

“No, to make tofu with red beans? To do that, it’s yokan, but to make yokan, you need agar.”

“Yes?”

But there is no agar here. The texture is not good to use gelatin… In the end, there is no choice but to make this sweet red bean paste as bread or use it.

I can’t help it without me It’s hard to find other substitutes for something like agar, and it’s difficult to make if you can’t extract chemical ingredients.

Anyway, he ordered the red beans, which were boiling like porridge, to be boiled. In fact, I’m writing it because it’s a shame to throw it away. In fact, to make red bean paste, it is not easy to change the route while making red bean porridge. It is even more so when the red beans are completely ground.

After adding a little starch and sugar and boiling it as it is, the red bean paste, no, the red bean paste, which came out thicker than the porridge, was lightly eaten with your fingers, and it tasted sweet enough.

It’s much worse than red bean paste made with determination, but it’s still a passing grade for making it while heading for a route that’s neither red bean porridge nor yanggaeng.

“Mmmm, I can’t make yokan, but I can make red bean buns. Hey! Make some pancake batter!”

“Ah, I see!”

Because there is no agar, they cannot make yanggaeng. And the taste of people here is close to that of Westerners, but isn’t it a bit like feeding sweet red bean porridge from the beginning? It’s said to be eaten in one kingdom, but that’s second.

Anyway, what I want to make is red bean bread. It is also the sweet red bean bun that Doraemon likes, with red bean paste sandwiched between pancakes.

It’s actually a bread called dorayaki, but anyway, the bread used there is not much different from the pancake batter, so there’s not much to do.

“It’s thick like this…So if it’s a moderately thick dough, put it on a pancake separately, wrap it, and then combine it into one.”

“Oh oh”

“Then, it’s done with this. It’s more accessible than other red bean buns.”

Here, pancakes are a simple meal in the morning, a food that plays the same role as rice eaten in the morning. Unlike other red bean bread, I will try this one out of curiosity.

The cooks hold the red bean bread one by one and put it in their mouths. Enjoy the taste of red bean paste while simmering.

“Hmm… Sugar is added, but it’s not directly sweet. It’s mixed with the sweetness of the red bean itself… And eating it with bread gives you the right sweetness. This has the potential to become a new dessert. !!!!”

“It tastes like a framed composition”

“Yes?”

“No, it’s just a literary analogy.”

Basically, the sweetness here is the sweetness of sugar. However, the sweetness of sweet red beans is the sweetness of red beans that comes from sweet red beans, although some sugar is added.

In short, it is not ‘sugar 〉 sweet’, but ‘sweet red beans 〉 sugar 〉 sweet’.

In fact, some people feel that red bean paste is sweeter than sugar-packed desserts, but kebabs are still popular in their own right.

It’s not that old-fashioned ice cream like Bibi Big keeps coming out even now. Because red bean flavor has a steady fan base, there are times when it is better than just sweet.

“Hmm… Wouldn’t this be better as a snack than dessert? I think it’ll be fine to eat one at a time when you’re hungry.”

“If it’s necessary, you can sell it as a street vendor on the street. As long as you have an iron plate that can bake pancakes, you can make them anywhere.”

“Ah!”

“If you don’t know, how about a trial sale?”

Since this is not one kingdom, red beans may suit the taste of many people. No, it’s questionable whether red bean bread will work in even one kingdom.

For that, market research is required.

“Are there any new people in the kitchen this time?”

“Yes, it is, but…”

“Try them to run a rotation and set up a street vendor. The cost of materials will be deducted, but the profit will be for them to keep. Anyway, even if you learn here, it’s better to have money to make something yourself, right?”

I can freely use ingredients in my kitchen, but there are limits. And even if it’s not a third royal later, it’s better to have money if you want to open your own shop.

I don’t want to be constrained just because I came out of my kitchen. Even if you go to another country hoping for better treatment, it doesn’t matter because the recipe I gave you won’t be lost.

Everyone deserves to eat delicious food.

“The delegation to visit this time has been confirmed as Urca Great Forest, Garuna Plateau, and Han Kingdom. The White Church and the Mountains of the Dragon will not attend.”

“Are the two places on the sidelines?”

“Yes, and the budget for this birthday party is…”

“How much does it cost?”

“Actually, there was a certain amount, but the imperial family said that it would provide additional support for the location and budget.”

“Oh, it’s nice to save money.”

I have now become an indispensable person in the imperial family from a prince in name only. It is all the more so because he is not a person who should be related by blood by sending his daughter-in-law into marriage, but is a member of the royal family from the beginning.

It’s only natural that you want to take care of me like that. It’s quite double that the emperor has changed his attitude again, but it’s good.

“This is a list of foreign delegations visiting this time. Brief personal details are also written, so please memorize them.”

“Do I have to do this again? It’s annoying.”

“You have to show at least the courtesy you showed in the past. You need to have a good reputation so that it will be comfortable for His Highness to be recognized for your position in the Continental Ten River.”

I want to invite only people I know and have a birthday party, but now it would be rather overbearing to ask for something like that…

However, it’s a bit okay because I think that nobles I’ve never seen before will send me gifts. If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it, so think about the gift you will receive and bear with it.

“The first daughter of the current head of the elves… The younger sister of the great warrior of the beast tribe… Even the prime minister of a kingdom. It’s competitive.”

“Two of them are blood relatives of the Ten Continental Powers. They will surely come to verify Your Highness’ skills.”

“I must prepare myself.”

The current head of the elves and the great warrior of the beasts are members of the Ten Continents. Even if I can’t come, I’m dispatched because I think I can judge whether my skills are suitable for the continental 10, as they are relatives.

It’s quite exciting because it’s going to be a fun birthday party in many ways.
