396 Black smile and natural smile (1/2)
After the toast greeting is over, each person reaches for a dish and starts a meal.
”Take Napolitan”
”It's smart. I'll save the other types little by little.”
Lolatta, who was told by Pera-chan, has a plate and serves a side dish little by little.
”Rim, please”
”Yes”
When Alecia says shortly, the rim, which has suddenly disappeared, moves and serves side dishes.
The side dishes to be taken are not specified, but you may be able to understand your tastes because you have been serving for a long time.
And spaghetti is served, and Ra-chan wraps Napolitan around her mouth.
”Hmm! It tastes a little tomato but sweet and delicious!”
In other words, tomatoes are a little weak. However, she still seems to like the taste of Neapolitan.
And when she sees Alesia next to her, she looks at spaghetti with a serious expression.
… I'm scared if I stare at the food silently. What do you do if it's not good?
”What happened, Alecia?”
”... Al, what's used in this spaghetti seasoning? It tastes like never before.”
When I asked her, Alecia pointed at the Japanese-style spaghetti with a serious expression.
”It uses a seasoning called soy sauce in Kagura.”
”Was it a black liquid?”
”Yes, do you know?”
Hearing soy sauce and associating it with a black liquid should give you a bit of information about soy sauce.
”I heard that black seasonings are sold recently at Triela Shokai.”
”Oh, that's exactly soy sauce.”
As expected, she is a duke. It seems that the company is also purchasing information on Tory's shops, which are now a big company.
”It's going to be a great addition to the taste of the dish. I was a bit shy about the black liquid, but I need to buy it before other nobles notice it.”
Alesia says with a black smile whether he realized the potential of soy sauce.
Is this black and scary, can I avoid it? What should I say?
”Tomorrow morning, dishes using soy sauce and miso will come out, so I think you will like it in various ways.”
”Miso ... that's something I don't even know. Well, I'll definitely look forward to tomorrow's breakfast.”
Alecia smiles with a smile.
I feel that Alecia's smile now is as natural as when she loved Rachan. It is not a smile of the artifacts that have been floating until now, it is a pretty thing suitable for the year.
What is the meaning of the kind of smile that Alecia floats? I was a little worried.
”... Hey Alfried. All the spaghetti is delicious, but don't you have a lot of vegetable dishes? Well, it's a harassment to know that I hate vegetables?”
”Because we are a specialty of vegetables, it is natural that there are many vegetables.”
I don't want to give such a personal complaint to a known habit.
”Lana, you must eat the vegetables.”
”Vegetable Kirari!”
Rah-chan, who is noticed by Loretta in front of her, turns away from her face.
”Ra-chan, are you not good at vegetables?”
”Yeah, because it's bitter.”
Is Ra-chan still not good at vegetables? Well, given the age of four, it may be around the age that vegetables feel bad.
If there are many children who are not good at vegetables, instinctively avoid them. Vegetables are often bitter and sour, and humans instinctively recognize them as toxic and exhale.
But it will change if we realize that it is not very toxic.
In other words, the experience of eating deliciously.
”Ra-chan, the vegetables here are a bit different, so just eat a little.”
”Well”
”I just need a bite. This is delicious.”
”Well, if Al says that, just a little ...”
When I asked him to go down, Ra-chan pierced the steamed carrot with a fork with a reluctant expression.
I don't want Pera to grow up like Eric like she grows vegetables, but I want her to eat purely the vegetables of Coriat Village.
I think that even people who are not good at vegetables will surely feel delicious.
While I watched, Ra-chan hesitated at a stretch while hesitating the carrot on the fork.
Probably because he is not good at it. Chew while closing your eyes and disgusting a little.
And then, at the next moment, I opened my eyes,
”sweet!”
”right?”
I laugh somewhere in response to Ra-chan's surprised reaction.
”Well, what is this? This carrot is so sweet and delicious!”
”It's like fruit. It's grown without any bitterness or odor, and the sweetness of the vegetables is concentrated.”
Not only Pera-chan, but also Alecia, who is next to her, cuts paprika with a knife and eats while expressing satisfaction.
That's it. Our vegetables, unlike the others, have outstanding sweetness. It has less bitterness and odor than those of other territories, making it easier for relatively weak people to eat.
Furthermore, steamed vegetables are a method that can confine the nutrition and umami of vegetables. It is the best when combined with the strong tasting vegetables of Coriat Village.
”I could eat the vegetables here!”
Perah says that and squeezes a pumpkin.
”Yeah, pumpkin is delicious!”
”Lana is so eager to eat vegetables ...”
Loretta is very surprised and impressed when she sees Ra-chan, who hates vegetables and eats herself.
I would be happy to take this opportunity to change the perception that vegetables are bitter and toxic, and recognize them as delicious.
The experience of eating delicious vegetables will surely ease Ra-chan's dislike of vegetables.
”Hey Eric, you should eat a little bit too.”
