285 Episode 197: Even though there are soybeans



"This is the soybeans that I soaked overnight,"
`Oh, my God!'

 Estella and Assund exclaim at the sight of soybeans that have doubled their original size.
 I was surprised the first time I saw it. "How dry were you, beans?" I almost snapped. I miss you, elementary school social studies tour.

 Or rather, Assent's voice seems to be deliberate.

"How can you grow so big! Well, I'm surprised!"
"...you don't have to force yourself." You know the boar, don't you?"
"Oh, no! I didn't know about this process. Well, I'm ashamed of my lack of study!"
"……...it's the best thing to do about anything. if you show off your knowledge, you'll be ashamed of yourself some day."
"Well... I'll keep it in mind..."

 It's spinning like wildfire.
 In other words, libeca's preference for Assault has plummeted.
 I don't think it's going to work the other way now. Hold your tongue for a moment.

"Well, Estella," I'm going to boil this soybean again in plenty of water, and after four hours it's soft enough to crush with my thumb and little finger..."

 Rebekah explains the process of making miso to Estella with gestures.
 Estella gives a series of responses like "hehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Is he a natural listener?

"Ribeka, let's talk about bean paste, let alone soybean paste. I'm not free, ladies and gentlemen."

 Bertha slapping and glancing gently at me.
 Do you know that we're going to see the lords of the twenty-four wards in the near future? Do you simply think we can't hold them back for long? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"What? They were all enjoying my quiz... huh?"
"Then, shall we slowly hold another quiz contest?"
"Oh, it's a competition! That sounds fun! As expected, Estella!"

 Estella Chan is unfamiliar, and Estella's cheeks twitch slightly whenever she is called by her name.
 I don't think you like it.
 A noisy child throws a ball at Estella, and this one goes on.

"Ascent. Did you bring me what I asked for?"
"Yes, of course!"

 As soon as they enter their territory, Assunt begins to come alive.
 After all, I guess it's easier to deal with children who don't know how to touch them.

"I told the merchants of the twenty-four wards that I had the best of them ready."

 What he offered me was a cucumber of splendid thickness.
 fresh cucumbers with spines firm enough to feel pain when touched.
 Now we're going to taste the soy sauce.

"Would you like a small platter?"
"Oh, yes," Please."
"Well,"

 Versa scoops up soy sauce from a small pot.
 Red‐brown, well‐colored soy‐sauce is served on a small plate. A deep scent tickles the nostrils. It's not mature enough, but it smells rich.

 Bertha's jar is small enough to hold in one hand.
 He probably brought in small pieces of soy sauce stored elsewhere. It's not good to let them touch the air very much air.

"Mr. Jiro. I cut it into small pieces that are easy to eat."

 Natalia cut the cucumbers vertically while Versa was about to order the soy sauce.
 At that time, the thorns that were likely to stick in the tongue had been removed. He doesn't care as much about cucumber spines, but he's a meticulous fellow.

 Add soy sauce to cucumbers shaped like "The Vegetable Stick" and bite them.

"Spicy!"

 A stinging pungency hits the taste buds.
 My tongue aches on both sides.
 The more mature the soy sauce is, the more mild it becomes, but it is still too spicy.

 But it's delicious.

"Yes. It's really spicy... but it's delicious."
"Well, it's deep and it's complicated."

 Estella and Natalia wince and share their impressions.
 No, it's really spicy. I'm by no means frowning with bad taste.

"If you let it ripen as it is, you'll get a pretty good soy sauce. You're an artisan, Libeka."
"Huh! It's only natural. Now, don't hesitate to compliment me more."

 Rebekah, who still holds her nose high.
 If you've never tasted this before, get carried away with it.

 I'd like to take this ready‐made soy sauce home.
 With this, we might be able to make a prototype of Are, which is about to be added to the Yodamari-tei.
 a very popular menu with bean paste
 a typical Chinese food that is neither push nor push.

 Mapo tofu (bean curd

 If I can make that, I'm sure it'll be a hit.

"Rebecca,"

 Libeka approached me while I was saying, "I have a favor to ask.

`Oh, my knight,' I'd like to ask you something."

 It was a quiet, yet desperate demand that had come in secret to appeal only to me.

"I want you to cook with this."

 cooking
 Well, I understand that you are interested in cooking using real bean paste, not the bean paste paste that you entrusted to Assunt before. I understand... Why do you have a low voice?

"Ribeka, why don't you speak louder?""Oh, it's a secret discussion between me and my knight!"

 a wise‐looking Versa
 He seems to know the reason for Libeka's mysterious behavior.
 a secret request What does that mean?

"I'd like to taste the soy sauce, but it's so spicy that I cry, so please ask if there's anything that children can eat."
"You're not crying! And you're not even a child!"
"That's proof of your child's stubbornness."
"No, it's not! I'm an adult lady!"
"Didn't the ending and the first person start with a single mind to make you look mature person?"
"Oh! Don't break it up!"

 jump at Versa and tap with a small fist
 Bertha is as unresponsive as a willow. I'm sure Libekapunch doesn't hurt at all.

 I mean, I guess those "washi" and "ja" were meant to make you look mature... ...beyond mature, aren't they?

"Huh! Bertha is mean! She's all old and sloppy!"

 No, all ages are equal. ...but I'm rejuvenated.

"Well, don't compete with me. There's no way I can reverse my age."
"That's not the case! "Bartha is forever young," said the millers! "Bartha is a child!"

 No, that's just a compliment, Libeka.

"No! Babaa!"

 You've said it!? I can't believe I said it myself!

"You're young!"
"Whether you speak in the same tone as young people or challenge yourself to miniska, it's babaa!"

 Did you try, Versa?

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"No! 360 degrees, it's Babaa by all eyes! It's Babaa by all ages, men and women! It's Babaa by all eyes! It's still Babaa for 24 hours!"
`It's so sloppy!'

 ...I don't really understand your values.

"Ah, Mr. Versa,"
"Oh, what I did with you said. I'm sorry. I'm afraid I'm going to look ugly in front of a stranger..."
"No, I don't mind... ...but Mr. Versa is young."
"Thank you,"

 a courteous Bartha
 Well, it's Estella's job to settle this in a circle.k.a. circle. It's no use talking about age.

 But what... ...this Versa looks just like Natalia. in the manner of the Lord

"So, if you know any dishes that Libekas can eat, please let me know. Knowing that what you are growing is delicious, Libeka's motivation will explode."

 Bombing up...
 But do you prefer something familiar to you rather than something from the sea or from the mountains?

 But do you "raise" them.

 Koji is a living thing. Miso, soy sauce and bean paste using it may certainly be more like "raised" than made.
 One such expression suggests their attitude toward the work.
 These guys are good craftsmen, aren't they?

 After all, I want to distribute bean paste soy sauce.
 If you leave it to them, they'll make you something delicious.

 So...
 I'll help you this time, so thank you as much as you can, Assunt.

"Do you want to keep the spiciness down?"
"What? Is it hard? Why don't you add sugar?"
"Well, if I could get 'something,' I'd be able to manage it, but at this hour, it might be difficult."

 He glanced at Assent, saying.

 ...wow, he looked so happy. My eyes began to sparkle. ...I'm disgusted that you're so sensible.

"Yasilo, you know I'm here! I'll use everything I can to prepare it! As much as possible!

 ...they are always appealing to me.
 You're thinking that I've sent you a signal, 'it's something that can be prepared according to your efforts.' Well, that's correct.

 Earn points at best.

"Well, Assent," Get me some yogurt."
"Yogurt?"
"Oh, I see,"

 Next to Assent, who leans slightly, Estella looks as neat as she can see.
 Estella used to be at the Yodamari-tei Curry Scourge.
 They probably remembered that dairy products make capsaicin less spicy.

 However, if you put it in, it's not a good idea, you have to know where to use it.
 Caizen, which reduces the spiciness of capsaicin, is sensitive to heat and should be mixed just before eating.
 There are other ways, such as seasoning with eggs or diluting with chicken stock, but... I don't have a ginet, so I'm going to adopt an easy way.

"All right! Then I'll get some yogurt!"
"Oh, and then," Can I order tofu?""Is that so?"

 that?
 What's that reaction?
 You don't have it?

"I miss you, Tofu,"
"... miss you?"
"You know so much about old food as well." As expected of Mr. Jiro."

 No, no, wait a minute.
What's "old food"?

 Estella and Libeka look blank and Versa looks strangely glistening.
 ......this reaction is just like the generation gap between the Showa Kayo and the tea ceremony.
 My grandparents miss those days, and my parents react like they've heard of it, and my children don't show any interest in it.

 ... Oh, don's not there?

"Unfortunately, Mr. Jiro. You can't get tofu. There is no place to manufacture it."
"Why? There are so many processed soy beans that they are as good as tofu..."

 I started to say that and realized it myself.
 I see. That's why.

 Bertha slowly agrees, as if to prove my guess right.

"Yes, that's right. All the soybeans harvested today are used to make miso and soy sauce. Therefore, tofu production was stopped about 20 years ago."

 Oh, my God...

 Then you can't make Mabo tofu... ...you made Mabo-dofu for about 80 percent of the time...

"...Ribeka, why don't you give me some soybeans?"
"It's impossible, isn't it? They're asking for soybeans everywhere. There's no such thing as extra soybeans anywhere."
"Then we should produce more in bulk,"
"Then you won't be able to handle the beans and peanuts."

 Well, I wish we'd get rid of those useless BU rules!
 ......d*mn it! What a stupid policy! What a useless assortment!

"...I'll smash the stupid bean rule in 'BU'..."
"Yasilo, aside from his grand ambitions, his first priority is the rejection of the compensation for the 42 wards. Don't forget."

 Oh, come on!
 There's no doubt that the food will be a big hit in front of you!
 Oh, really, I can't stand in your way, BU!

"...I'll never give up...I'll make tofu......I'll dismantle BU!"
"So don't lose sight of your purpose and make the matter bigger in a dark way." The top priority is to avoid a crisis in the 42 wards."

 d*mn it!
 Can you overlook the money-making seeds hanging in front of you?

"But is it impossible to do it right now?"
"I'd like to make it for you, too,"

 Bertha bows her head with a slightly lonely smile.

"It's a rule, so please understand."
"Can Bertha make tofu?"
"Yes, I have experience."

 You said earlier that it was abolished twenty years ago, but it must have been made before then.
 I wonder why it's so delicious.

"Well, my knight... ...can't we make a good soy-sauce dish without it?"
"No, that's not the case, but...."

 All I could think of was Mapo tofu... Oh, I see. Do you have any idea.

"Well, Assent," Get me some eggplant."
"Nah, eggplant...?"
"What? There's eggplant, right?"

 I felt a little uneasy because I looked so nervous.
 Eggplants should still be made today.
 I've seen it in the field of Mormat and I've also used it in the Yodomari-tei. ...Miso Dengaku is delicious, isn't it?

"I'm sorry. It was such a different ingredient from tofu... that you've changed your direction, right?"
"No, the direction hasn't changed a millimeter,"

 Anyway, it's the Mapo eggplant that we make.
 That's good, too!

"If it's eggplant, I know! I've been waiting for you for a while! I'll get it right away!"

 As soon as I could say, Libeka started running and ran out the door.
 ...what?

"...Mr. Rebekah... again."
"Again?"
"Ah, no... this is it."

 Bertha muttered, staring at the door through which Libeka rushed out.
 I don't think it's a nuance to think about that personality and run like that without thinking about it.

 a silent Versa
 Looking at the profile, Libeka popped back and peeked out the door.

"That's Assent," It's a competition to see who gets the ingredients faster and comes back."
"What!"
`Come on, come on!"
"What!? What!"

 That's all Libeka said, and she ran down the hall again with her child power in full swing.
 a flurry of impatience

"Oh, what!? What is the right answer in this case?"He seems a little timid from his quiz blunder.
 I feel like I'm going to get in trouble no matter what I do... You're a tracy and you're like this guy.
 If you narrow it down, you'll mass‐produce failures where you don't care.

"Prepare yogurt as fast as you can."
"Oh, I see! I just have to win!"
"No, lose,"
"I should lose!"
"By a hair,"
"By a touch!"
"I was also leading right before the grounds, running at full speed, but being overtaken in the middle, and losing by a touch after a dead heat."
"Isn't it too demanding?"
"That would be the most exciting,"
"That's... I suppose so..."

 If you don't do that much, you won't be able to make up for your loss.

"Well, I'll accompany Libekah and do some sort of sabotage."

 Quietly, Versa begins to walk.

"I can stop you for twenty minutes or so, Mr. Assault,"
"Ni, Jup.........."

 With your eyes turned upward, your brain is probably developing a formula of its own.
 In seconds, the answer seemed to have been reached, and Assund's eyes and nostrils widened to the limit.

"I feel like I'm going to die and I'm in a hurry! I can't do this!"

 Then, belatedly, he ran out of the room.
 I'll put words of encouragement on his back.

"Cheer up, Assunt! You're trying to recover your stigma!"

 As I listen to the distant footsteps, one hurried sound comes back.

"I'll give it up, stigma!"

 From behind the door, Assund screamed, "Don't let this take up your time!" and turned his heel and ran again.
 ...that's good manners.

 No, I'm sure you didn't want to leave bad words lying or joking.
 He looks like he's going to take it on.

"Bully boy".

 From behind, Estella calls me dumbfounded.

"Why, I'm disappointed. Encouragement, isn't it?"
"Well, indeed," If we do well here, we may be able to clear ourselves of our stigma."

 giggle merrily
 You're quite a bully, aren't you?

"But Natalia," You know how to deal with children, don't you? It was a little surprising."

 Natalia, who had been playing Libeka without a break, had a good impression.
 I didn't have the image of playing with kids, so I was a little surprised.

"Now that's...... I've brought up a very difficult child."

 He says, glancing at Estella's face as if she were going to open a hole.
 Oh, I see.
 If you've been babysitting Estella for a long time, will you be able to train your manners?

"Bo, I shouldn't have been such a complicated child! I didn't say anything selfish!"
"Well, I'll make some corrections,"

 Breathe in, Natalia corrects the words in a flowing, beautiful way.

"No matter how hard I tried, only a part of it didn't grow up, but I was able to raise it up pretty well except for the rest of the time.
"Well, then I'll re-educate you this time! Be the right head waiter to honor the Lord!"

 Don't make a fuss anymore.
 That's the usual thing, isn't it?

"Well, did you know Libekah?"
"Oh? No, it's my first time meeting you."

 You'll understand that if you look at your reaction.
 That's not the case...

"Whitehead is his name," I felt like I had quite a lot of power."
"I've heard of the name Whitehead, a koji craftsman, because it's quite famous. But I didn't know it was such a young man."
"Hey, Natalia," Don't say what you're about to say, for I can't defend it."

 Whitehead's famous name suggests that the koji craftsman is hereditary.
 Such a little kid is called the "head" here.
 Being a koji craftsman is not something you can do with your natural talent, so you must have been trained in your skills from an early age.
 It may be because of his talent that he reached the top of the list at the age of nine.

"But he's not a nobleman,"
"Well,"

 You may have a little bit of a splinter in your way of speaking a little bit of a splinter.
 Estella raised her eyebrows slightly.

 The Beasts cannot be made nobles.
 no matter how powerful one is

 If Libeka should marry a man into the Whitehead family, perhaps she could become a nobleman."
 When I asked him what he said, he simply denied it, saying, "I don't think so."

 It seems that you can't say anything is OK because you're a human being a human being.

"But perhaps she doesn't care about that kind of framework. In fact, koji craftsmen are given preferential treatment more than aristocrats."

 Natalia's point was reasonable, and even Marul, a nobleman, was obliged to give beans some percentage of the dishes served to guests under the "BU" bean rule.
 Libeka, however, is exempt from the obligation.
 This means that koji craftsmen are given preferential treatment over nobles.

There is a possibility that you don't care much about "being a noble family."
 That means...

"It might be a little bit of a hurdle..."
"A hurdle?"

 Estella looks at me with round eyes like a hamster who is interested in feeding for the first time.

"It's about going out with Libeka."
"Why, my boy, do you go the same way as Javier!"
"No, you fool!"

 You're always telling me not to be rude, but Estella looks at me that way after all. I'll leave the tsukkomi behind and let you know because you really don't seem to notice it.
 Well, the information doesn't matter, so it's just the right kind of information.

"How did Libeka dress?""Don't you see... a grey jacket, a white shirt... and so on."

 Libeka was dressed in a conciliatory fashion, where the word 'artisan' fits perfectly.
 Clothes shaped like samue, reminiscent of Japanese potters????

"Oh!? ...Seven-length pants."

 so
 And Libeka was the only one I saw on the premises dressed like that.

 in other words

"The lover of the boy I met at the gate is the Libekah,"

 I tell you so with certainty.
 I'm sure... the boy feels sorry that it's too late.

 Javier's temperament and Percy's reserve... ...boy, that's a shame.
