Chapter 704
Something smooth and jiggly
While the fenrirs would likely behave, they should not be left alone if they were guests… And even if there were servants, it would be best if Leo was there too.
Leo sighed with disappointment, but then nodded and followed Ms. Gelda out of the room.
Did she want to help too? Or maybe she just wanted to be with us.
“Well, let’s go then.”
“Yes!”
And so I took Liza and we headed towards the kitchen…
“Sebastian. Ms. Helena. What is it?”
“Ah, there you are.”
“Mr. Takumi. And Lady Lzia. Thank you for coming.”
The cooks were moving busily in the kitchen, but I found Sebastian and Ms. Helena and called out to them.
“Mr. Takumi…I was wondering if you could take a look at this.”
“Oh…is this…tofu?”
There was no mistaking it. The square-shaped thing on the place was smooth and looked very soft.
Though, it seemed a little on the yellow side. Perhaps it was because it used sooy.
“It is tofuu. I told you about sooy before, didn’t I?”
“Tofuu.. Uh, yes. It can be used for all kinds of dishes.”
“Well, while you were gone, I was thinking about different things to make, and so I went to Ractos. And I found a merchant that was selling this.”
As Mr. Euto told me before, there were a lot of travelers and merchants that went through Ractos, and so you could find all kinds of things there.
“And so I bought some. Especially since I thought that you would know about it, Mr. Takumi…”
But I was not a cook, and didn’t actually know much about ingredients.
“Uhh, was this merchant the only one who sold it?”
“At least in Ractos, yes. Apparently, some of the ingredients are related to the sea, so they do not make it around here.”
“I see…”
It must be that thing that is important when making tofu.
I had seen it in some television program. The liquid that remained when extracting salt from seawater. It was called Nigari, and that was what you needed.
It was combined with the liquid extracted from soybeans in order to solidify it.
“Where did the merchant acquire it from? Maybe we could go there and buy more…”
“A different country, apparently. So that might be difficult.”
“I see…”
“Mr. Takumi. Do you know any good recipes for this?”
“Uh, well. It was quite common where I came from. But…”
Hmm. How to eat it… Most people just put some sauce on and ate it like that.
Besides, what was the point, when it wasn’t something we could make or get a steady supply of?
If only we had seawater…
Well, there was nothing we could do about that for now. I would just have to think of something else we can make with the sooy.
But for now, we had to find a way to eat this tofuu. If we could only eat it on rare occasions, we should make the most of it.
I just hope it would not be too long before we could eat it again…
