Now, after the second fermentation, we will bake it and it will be ready.

This was my first time making bread, learning how to make bread from Kemia, the wife of the owner of the inn "Cheche".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The bread dough, which I touched for the first time, was soft and interesting.

My father wanted to eat a hamburger, so I asked the owner if he had any round white bread.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The owner's wife, Kemia, is a friendly person, and when I asked her if she would like to observe the baking process, she asked me if I would like to join her. I was interested in making bread, so I asked her if she would make it with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was interested in making bread, so I joined her, but kneading the dough was harder than I had expected and my arms were aching.

He said, "Thank you very much. Bread takes a lot of time and effort."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard that fermentation by yeast is very important in bread making.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If it doesn't ferment well, it won't expand, and if it does too much, it won't taste good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Khemia told me that the type of wheat used also makes a difference, and that bread baking is a very deep process.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Indeed, it was harder than I had expected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess so. It certainly takes a lot of time and effort.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Considering the process of making bread, it would be impossible to make bread during the trip.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It would be best to make a large quantity in the village or town and keep it in the magic bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After fermentation was complete, the bread was put into the oven to bake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Smells great.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A savory aroma permeates the cooking area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The aroma makes me hungry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's true. It seems to have puffed up nicely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I peek inside the kiln from afar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It certainly looks like it's puffing up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hey, Ivy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, what is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I looked at Mr. Khemia, and for some reason he was looking at me with a huge smile on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was surprised by that, and my body pulled back a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Pamba-ba-ba?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Pamba-ba-ba?　is that a hamburger?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What a great name.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard it yesterday and was wondering what kind of food it was.　I was so curious."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He heard the conversation with his father when he was writing down the vegetables he wanted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Let's see, hamburger is bread with vegetables and meat in it jan......?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What was that you were going to say just now?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You said, "That's it, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'No, it's nothing. It's a bread dish perfect for lunch.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It would be easier to understand if I made it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, would you like to make it with me so we can have it for lunch?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, Ivy is the teacher this time, not the other way around. I'll take care of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Khemia-san looks happy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy is very happy and says, "If I make it now, it will be a little past lunchtime.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You said we're going to put meat between them. Which one would you like?　Do you want it seasoned?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, I don't want it seasoned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Okay, I'll go with this one. I'll go with this one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Khemia pulls out a piece of meat from the magic box.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I could tell from the amount of fat in it that it was a little expensive meat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can use cheap meat because I will mince it very finely," he says.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I mean, isn't that meat for dinner?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Really?　You're going to mince it fine?　Not in chunks."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Khemia-san looks a little disappointed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'You like meat?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I like chunks of meat!'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look at Khemia-san's whole body as she answers with a smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She is young enough to be in her twenties and has a slender figure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This sounds like a joke when she says she likes chunks of meat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If I'm going to cut it up into small pieces,...... oh, can I use the extra meat?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, that's fine. Yes, that's fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I always had to make soup with the leftover meat. I always had no choice but to make soup with it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Come to think of it, the meat served at yesterday's dinner had all the ends with different degrees of firmness removed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was surprised because other inns don't often do that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was surprised because other inns don't often do that, but it seems to be the norm here at Cheche.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I asked him, "May I look in the magic box?　I need something."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I said, "Sure, I'll take a look in the magic box. I can use whatever you need for the burgers."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... Is dinner good?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At any rate, we need to cut the meat into small pieces, so let's make it quickly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is delicious. Oh no, can I eat the rest of it too?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Um, ...... yes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Where did that amount of hamburger go?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I stare at the hamburger that is disappearing into Khemia's mouth at an incredible rate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What do you call this kind of thing?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Was it "skinny gluttony?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'And they're delicious, by the way. This should definitely be served at this inn. Yes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm glad you liked it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, I wouldn't have eaten six pieces if I didn't like them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was a good thing that I had first separated the portions for the owner and his father, who were out of town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I got a lot of scrap meat, so I did my best to cut it into small pieces and mixed it with chopped and sauteed onion and ponzu (Japanese citrus juice).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I broke up the six nuts and put them in, added a bit of crushed black bread, and mixed in some herbs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Form it into a thin round shape and bake it until golden brown, and the meat is ready to eat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sandwich the leafy greens and grilled meat between the buns, pour a little sauce on top, and you're done.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think I made a satisfying hamburger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The bread turned out soft and fluffy without any mistakes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And the meat between the burgers was thick enough since I got a lot of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder if I can't put that one over there?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No," he said. It's for the owner and his father.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, you still want to go in there?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I checked Khemia's figure again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, she has a flabby belly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder if ...... is okay?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Even the end meat tasted good enough. I also learned a new way to use medicinal herbs. Thank you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'No, it's my pleasure. Thank you for showing me how to make good bread.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As Khemia and I began to clean up, the owner and her father returned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Welcome back, how did you like it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I asked the father who had appeared in the kitchen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The owner found some good vegetables for us, so we did a good job.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I showed the list of vegetables I needed to the owner, he said that the vegetables were more varied than he had expected, so he decided to go out to the store the next day to buy some without placing an order.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He had gone out early in the morning, but from the looks of things, both the owner and his father had gotten what they wanted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm glad," he said. Oh, you may have eaten lunch, but I prepared some hamburgers for you. Would you like one too, shopkeeper?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really?　It's delicious, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A hamburger?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The owner looks at me with a surprised expression.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I tilted my head in surprise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Was there ever anything so surprising?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is there any left?　Did Kemir leave it for you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, ...... I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," he said. I avoided the first two servings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

From the owner's appearance, it might be normal for Kemia to eat that amount of food.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The amount of food that Kemia eats is probably the amount that the owner eats as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I only have two pieces each. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Definitely not enough, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't have any more bread left, so I can't make more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thanks. That's quite a lot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did the owner just say quite a bit?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe it's enough?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Ivy, your husband doesn't eat a lot, so he'll be fine.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am relieved by Kemia-san's words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank goodness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I know it's not as much as Khemia, but it's normal.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The owner of the restaurant tells Khemia-san with a slightly dumbfounded expression on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Khemia, who looks a little displeased with those words, is eating a pastry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Are you still going in?
