Chapter 56 (2/2)

When I sat down, I was asked by the landlady, so I thought about it for a moment. I’m fine with tea, but what about the others?

「Can I have the herbal tea from before? How about everyone else?」

「It’s fine to relax without worrying in this village」

Because I said so, he, Sapin, and Elm asked for an ale, Ivar for the herbal tea, and Iris for juice.

Not then, it’s dinner time. What is in front of me.

Salad, sauteed meat, and soup.

The salad is Leto (lettuce), Mate (tomato), and boiled Ariko (beans).

Yes, raw lettuce, tomato, and boiled beans……

The meat is sauteed with a black sauce poured over it.

Soy sauce flavor?! It’s just salty! It’s very, very regrettable.

There are many ingredients in the soup. Teru (potato), Karo (carrot), Ouba (eggplant), Powa (spring onion), s.h.i.+toru (pumpkin), and eat. The taste…… appears to be salty. Why salty?

U~n……

It’s good, but it has an acute feel of ‘this is not it’.

「How is the taste?」

「It’s delicious. I’m happy there are lots of vegetables」

「Yet, your face is……」

「That, you see…… what is used for the sauce on the meat?」

「It’s made by mixing Seu fruit with salt. We have made this just recently. How is it?」

「Ah, so it’s something made recently. It can’t be helped then?」

「Umm…… do you know about this?」

「There was something very similar in my hometown. Various sauces were made with this as the focal point. From the taste I just ate, there’s nothing」

「There’s nothing, you say……」

「The raw vegetables are delicious, you know? There’s nothing on them」

「I think that salad becomes too strongly-flavored after adding seasonings……」

「If that’s the case, may I suggest about mixing it with sour fruit?」

「Sour?」

「Yes, fruits are good…… are there no sour liquids around here?」

「Sour? Ah, there is. When liquor made with fruit ages, it turns sour」

「Ah, so there is?」

「However, it quickly goes bad」

「Ah~…… un. It will go bad if it’s not pasteurized on a low-temperature flame, un」

「Pasterized?」

「Similar to simmering? It stops aging」

「It stops aging?」

「Ah, do you make this Seu sauce just like that?」

「Yes, it’s fault is that it rots if not used immediately」

「This also should slow the aging if heated, only probably, though」

Everyone was looking at me without eating. U~n…… it would be better to talk after eating.

「I’d like to talk with you more in detail later」

「Ah! I’m sorry, I have talked to you while you were eating」

「I’m fine, but I feel sorry for everyone, so let’s leave it for later」

Fufu, everyone is steadily staring. Let’s finish the meal first.
