720 Chinese Candlestick ③ - The Beginning of the Feast

"I really don't care anymore."

I = fa, was puffy and angry.

Naturally, it is because I am weeping. Down from Yakura and pulling into the less popular corner of the square, my tears didn't stop.

"I'm sorry. But this is a jolly tear, so you don't have to worry about anything, do you? I think it'll fit in now, so give me a break."

"Spare me or something, that's not the problem. Even if it's tears of joy, it's... it's heartbreaking for you to cry like that."

In the eyes of Ey-Fa, which are so stated, there is a light that seems heartily worried.

Sorry for that, but I kept muddling my overflowing tears.

That made my prepared woven fabric completely wet, and by the time the tears finally subsided, the ritual of delivering the blessing seemed complete.

Guests from Inn Town should have given away fruit liquor, ornaments, etc. Guests from Castle Town were also told beforehand that they weren't too expensive, so I guess they prepared something worthy of it. Donda-Lou raised his voice once again as Late, who held the tail of those guests, descended Yarakura.

"Now we begin our wedding feast! To Schmiral-Lilyn and Vina-Lou, bless!

"Bless you! The voice of the repertoire also felt a period of fever today.

I'm in a hurry and I'm moving to my place. Grass crown replacement, for example, takes place in the middle of a feast, so you have to do your job first.

Only Schmiral-Lilyn and Vina-Lou are left on Yagura to watch their blood and guests enjoy the feast dish. Running briefly confirming it at the edge of his eyes, the dishes had already begun to be handed out there by the hands of Yun-Sudra and the others.

"Thank you very much, Ai-Fa for Asta. That's a lot of momentum."

"Yeah. Everyone else, be careful not to panic"

Nevertheless, all seven people gathered on this occasion are trained in street commerce. Nothing made me anxious, including Malfira-Naham, whose only behavior seemed hasty and hesitant.

"Uh, I was there! Asta and the others are here!

And, along with a cheerful voice, Yumi appears. Accompanying you are Terrier-Mass and Joo-Run.

"Today, you're also preparing dishes that don't use giva meat, right? That's what bothered me, so I came first"

"Oh well. I hope it fits your mouth, but I don't know."

Yumi looked intrigued and peered into the iron pan. Just what I was in charge of was that giva meat-free dish.

"Hmm. Tarapa's sup. It doesn't look very different from the one I use with the gibbon or something... but it still smells different!

"Yeah. Because they use plenty of seafood. Try it if you like."

What I prepared for Fermes was a seafood tarapa soup with the image of a bouillabaisse.

Nevertheless, I don't have much French culinary qualities. I was good at tarapa-tailored soups until I applied them.

Besides, I would have used Kimmus' bone gala stock if I had, but this time I take stock with smoked fish and seagrass. Although it was only the veterinary meat that Fermes disliked and was heard that there was no problem with fat, milk, eggs, etc., if the stock was taken with bone gallows, a strong flavor would be created that would pass through the veterinary meat. Rather, it was up to me to adopt it, wondering if I would prefer seafood stock.

Also, seafood that resembles scallops transported from Wangdu can take a lot of good quality stock, so this time they let me take advantage of it. I was making this dish based on three kinds of stock: seafood, smoked fish and seagrass.

Firstly fry plenty of myrmu in the oil of leten, and when the aroma stands, add the minced Aria and Nenon. When the mallory, nunympa and seafood are also sautéed carefully, pour in the white mammalian liquor, meet when the alcohol flies, and add the stock and tarapa.

And I also used some vanilla here.

But the bouillabaisse remembered spices like saffron and parsley and laurier being used.

I couldn't find any vanilla similar to those, so I was choosing some of the vanilla that didn't dominate the spiciness. This was already the task of sorting herbs in harmony with this tarapa soup rather than reproducing the bouillabaisse.

At the end of the day, the choices were dried with earthy scented vanilla, which is also used in curries, and Leelo, which can also be collected by the woods, and the skin of the chatch.

After adding those vanilla, simmer carefully and season with salt and pico leaves. That's it.

"Come on in, have some."

I poured seafood tarapa soup into a prepared wood dish and handed it to the yummies.

Joo-Run and Terrier-Mass also receive it intriguingly. The first thing I said was still Yumi.

"Heh, strange flavor! Something like a dish I have no idea about!

"I guess that's the effect of seafood stock. They don't even use much seafood stock in Inn Town."

"That's right! Seafood is a lot of value! Shellfish, Nunyonpa, Mallory, I've never eaten before."

While stating it that way, Yumi threw shellfish fillets into her mouth.

"Haha, dude, that's weird!... It reminds me of the first time I ate Giva food."

"Huh? How could that be? Sticky, they don't taste alike, do they?

"Yeah, I'm with you on Tarapa, but the rest don't look alike. That's not what I'm talking about, something like this... is it flavor rather than flavor? I don't know what flavor it tastes like, so I sometimes feel like it doesn't smell a little... and it tastes delicious."

Not less than giva meat, seafood has a strong flavour. If you are a person who has not been able to eat, you will sometimes find it a smell.

But there are plenty of flavors that can only be produced with this ingredient. In the sense of an unknown taste, Yumi may have associated himself with a former Giva dish.

"Right. I think it tastes strange, too. And... you're starting to feel a lot more special because you hear it's your favorite dish."

When Terrier-Mass said so, Yumi also voiced approval.

"Uh, I get it, I get it! On the other hand, I think it stinks a little bit or something, it tastes classy! Maybe that's what you think. I guess that's our assumption."

That was how both Yumi and Terrier-Mass enjoyed the taste of seafood tarapa soup.

"How's Joo-Run? I hope the men by the woods don't hate me either."

"Right. If it had been before Asta showed up by the woods, she might have felt the broth rot and thrown away the wood dishes."

With a real smile, Jou-Ran said so.

"I don't know if this shellfish or nugnon pa is meat or what... rather than delicious, it's a strange, odd, interesting dish"

"Oh well. I wonder if it would have been easier to give it some more spiciness, but it would have been easier to eat."

"Does that mean softening this oddity with strong hardship? Doing so could make it less interesting. I think you're right about this."

With that said, Joo-Run smiled so flamboyantly.

"If Donda-Lou or Georg-Zaza spoke, what would they look like? I think I'd like to take a look."

"Oh no. If you buy an unhappiness, I'm the one who can throw a wooden dish at you, right?

"But Asta dared to choose these dishes, didn't she? Maybe we're just as surprised today as the people in town were when they first ate Giva food."

At that time, Terrier-Mass said, "Ah!" He raised his voice.

"Yu, Yun-Sudra, is that maybe Ramen?

"Yes, it's a new Shiralamen, made from Giva bone gala and miso"

Yun-Sudra and Tour-Din were in charge of 'miso tailored giva bone ramen'. On the last holiday - the day after Alvach and the others visited Fa's house - they finished this dish by rubbing the stock of Gibba bones in the morning.

"You're using Giva's bone gala, not Kimus. Wow, can I have a drink, too?

"Of course it is. Just about to be boiled."

Two tops, Yun-Sudra and Tour-Din, are in charge of this dish in advance practice for the upcoming harvest festival. When Tul-din transferred the boiled noodles to a wooden dish, Yun-Sudra put the ingredients on it and handed it to the Terrier-Masses.

The ingredients are Giva's Chashu and Tino, Onda and Nanar. What was different from the Levi's stalls was that they were adding yellow mushrooms there like mushrooms. Mushrooms, though not so expensive, are never cheap ingredients, so the Levites don't use them.

In some resolute way, Terrier-Mass is rinsing the ramen.

Next to that, Yumi said, "Hmm!" He narrowed his eyes satisfactorily.

"This is delicious without complaining! I knew Giva's Bone Gala stock was delicious. Well, if this was a while back, you might have thought it smelled!

"Yeah, it's really... amazing, delicious"

And Terrier-Mass is breathing in a slice.

When Yumi said, "What's wrong?" Peeping into his face, Terrier-Mass shook his head in a panic.

"Yes, no, it's nothing. It's just... the Astas are going to sell this at Easter, right?

"Yes, we're not sure yet, but if it's not time to leave the stall at night, this won't come down in time. Because of this opportunity, we also want to show off in Inn Town."

"Yes... right..."

Terrier-Mass was kind of a soggy face.

So Yumi laughs, "Ha-ha-ha".

"In short, what are we going to do if Levi and Lamen can't sell because of this guy? Terrier-Mass, you're worried!

"Yes... it seems to me that this is an unbeatable delicacy for Levi's Lamen..."

"If it tastes as good as nappy, it sells as good as nappy! More or less, Easter Night attracts guests like idiots! Just Levi's stall. So you can't prepare for all the customers who want to eat ramen?

Yumi laughed and often slapped Terrier-Mass on the back.

"Besides, this doesn't taste the same as the Levi's Lamen, does it? I think the guy who says he likes Kimmus's Bone Gala better than Gibba's Bone Gala will come out. He said he had nothing to worry about!

"That's right. Even I'm not going to get in the way of Levi or Lars' business, either. Instead, we expect customers to be so happy by serving ramen of all kinds."

When I joined Yumi, too, Terrier-Mass finally smiled at me, "Right," though weak.

"I, too, think Levi and Lamen are delicious. It's so delicious - but it can't be oversold...?

"It's okay! I assured you!

Yumi shrugged her cheeks as she turned her hand around Terrier-Mass's shoulder and was careful not to bump your hair decorations. Terrier-Mass blushes a little embarrassed.

Then Joo-Run sighed "Oh" at the sieve.

"What is it? You must be upset about something, right?

Goal Yumi pointed out, Joo-Run nodded yes.

"Of course, I'm not depressed. However, when I see that kind part of Yumi, I... No, let's not do this any more"

"Then shut up from the start!

Yumi, blushing more than Terrier-Mass, pretends to kick Joo-Run. Seeing that, Yun-Sudra was laughing "haha".

"It was worth asking the parents to allow you to attend, Joo-Run"

"Yes. I am sincerely happy. I hope Yumi thinks so too..."

"Oh, my God! That's not what you're saying!

So Yumi and the others left the scene in a fuss of fun.

In the meantime, people are coming from the next to eat our food and bring it to their families. Eventually it was the young women of Rutim who worked with Lilyn at her feast.

"Good job, Asta. Would you like me to change my job?

"What? No, but this is our job."

"But the Astas are guests, aren't they? I don't feel like putting the Guests to work and just myself enjoying the feast. Not to mention that Asta is a friend of Schmiral-Lilyn's."

Then came the other women who heard of it.

"Right. We can help you, too."

"Can I just pour this dish into a wooden dish? Then there's nothing hard about it."

"You're washing dishes, aren't you? I'll take my place."

In the meantime, I'll be robbed of my radar.

Then Yun-Sudra smiled and looked back at this one.

"How about sweet for your words, Asta? Ramen will be held by me and Tour-Din, so enjoy the feast for everyone else."

"Oh well... then let me entertain the feast while I dine, like when I was Lilyn?

I asked four people, except Yun-Sudra and Tour-Din, to explain the details. It is a way of delivering food to people who are resting on the rug and enjoying a chat on the spot.

It's painful just to have a job on your shoulder, but this would also allow you to fold. At the end of the day, the most demanding Fay-Beim also said, "I have accepted".

"Yun-Sudra and Tour-Din will take turns later. For a while, please."

"Yes, don't worry about this one, have fun"

So we decided to put the dishes on the basin and start serving.

So I look back at Ai-Fa, who had been quiet.

"I = fa. Why don't you say hello to the nobles first? You should say hello once during the feast."

"... right. Troublesome work should be cleaned up first"

The nobles had settled their hips on a rug a little further from Yagura. I sneak up on Yagura while I turn my foot to you.

Schmiral-Lilyn and Vina-Lou looked like they were talking quietly about something.

I guess I'm trying not to get too close because this time I can't even eat food and people have just given their blessings. In the swirling square of hot air, only there felt time flowing quietly.

"Oh, I 'm-fa to Asta. Perhaps we will head to the nobles?

and a big shadow approaches from under Yagura. It was a favor, the figure of Gazran-Rutim.

"If you like, I'll come with you. I was just about to say hello, too."

"Hmm. If Gazran-Rutim would accompany me, I'd be comfortable"

That's how we approached the rug with Gazran-Rutim.

They are not indulgently welcomed, as they are only beholders. However, a powerful combination called Georg-Zaza was sitting back on Ziza-Lou, along with six noble people.

"Excuse me. Has this dish already been spoken of?

"Oh, Lord Asta! You've finally got your face together! Did you bring the food from your hand?

Polearth, who was speaking of Giza-Lou, looks back with a full grin. Facing Polearths was a bit of a hiccups.

The rug had been delivered with some wood plates and fruit liquor, but the food was no longer obvious. Alvach, sitting like a giant figurine, looks at me with a bright blue eye of light.

"I = fa, asta, reunion, rejoicing. … Rutim's parents, similarly"

"Yes, thank you for a great gift the other day"

Rutim's house also played a part in the defeat of the Hurricane Party along with Ruw's house, so the gift was delivered, he said. Gazran-Rutim lowered his back to the position facing Alvach.

Me and I-Fa line up the dishes we bring, clean up the empty wood plates, and then see Melfried again in advance.

"We want to say hello, too. Do you mind if I interrupt you a lot?

"Absolutely. Thank you for your attention."

Melfried also looked really grand with his spine upright.

Fermes enjoys fruit liquor in a glass of vitreous apparently brought in from the castle town, and his squire, Gemd, remains as secluded as a shadow. Again, those people don't seem to be tempered by the fervour of a feast by the woods either. Only, though Pole Earth seemed a lot calmer, its fuzzy face was still filled with fun expressions.

"Hey, all the food was brilliant. Is this the dish prepared by Lord Asta?

"Yes, I was invited as a guest by the Kamadoku number of the seven families. I hope it fits your mouth."

Both dishes are ruined if the fever escapes, so we decided to eat them first.

Only Fermes is one dish. Fermes smiled with heartfelt joy as he served the bouillabase-style tarapa soup with baked poitan.

"Thank you. I didn't expect you to cook for me until this day."

After stating it that way, Fermes, who rinsed the tarapa soup, gave him a satisfactory "oh" exhale.

"I don't suppose you've worked so well in it, but it's really delicious. Instead, it seems Asta's arm stands out because it's a simple dish"

"Thank you. If you like it, you're lucky."

Then Nanaquem has also raised his voice "um".

"Come on, vanilla, not enough, I think... Western cuisine, it's supposed to taste like this. Hands-on, brilliant."

"No, really! Vanilla dishes are also preferred in the castle town of Genos, but no one will complain about this flavour."

Polearths is also grinning and rinsing the soup.

Then Alvach, who had his hand on it from Gibba Bone Ramen, looked back at this one.

"This dish, Chaska, is it different? Similar, but different in taste."

"Ah, yes. It uses ingredients like Fuwano and Poitan."

Thinking about it, I cook Chaska and other dishes in Chaska, and I cook Chaska dishes in Fuwano and Poitan. By the side, don't you look like a hell of a twister?

but there was no way Alvach was dissatisfied with it, and there was a terribly serious looking light in his eyes.

"This dish is delicious. Miso, dishes used, eaten in Castle Town… remarkably delicious"

"Feelings, later. Alvach, talk, long."

Nanaquem, who had spoken ramen since stating so, was shaking his shoulders with tingling.

"… indeed, it is delicious. Vanilla, I don't feel it, but it's extremely powerful... what is this dish?

"That will be a dish made with Giva bone gala. That's a dish that many people by the woods also like. If you don't have enough spiciness, use this one."

I'll try to push the wooden dish I left in the rug under both names. It was a plate of seven-flavored chips, also prepared for the place where the dishes were handed out.

The plate is also accompanied by a wooden spoon, so use it and both names add the seven-flavored chit to the dish of ramen. Both names, who thus ascertained the flavor, were shaking the giant in time.

"Taste, exceptionally, looks better. Why, from the beginning, can't you get in?

"I thought some people would prefer not to add this, so I put it behind me. You can add and subtract them if you like."

The expression remains the same, but both names begin to scrape the ramen with much enthusiasm. Giva bone ramen was more popular with the Gerd people than tarapa soup, which was regarded as elegant by Yumi.

Giza-Lou and Georg-Zaza also rinse Giva bone ramen, of course. Even so uncommonly, Giza-Lou had a more "uhm" voice.

"A similar dish was served at the Harvest Festival at Lew's house... but this is still a surprisingly powerful flavor."

"Yes. Giva bone stock is powerful, so I guess you can't beat the strong taste of miso either. More than I expected, it harmonised me."

Speaking of which, I remember Giza-Lou as he preferred giva bone soup alongside 'giva cutlets'. Though it was still hard to read inside Ziza-Lou, I just felt innumerable as far as I could tell you that.

"Yeah, this one tastes really great too! As Lord Asta put it, the strong flavour and miso flavour seem to go very well together. Oh, woke up delicious."

Polearths also diligently rinse the unfamiliar noodles.

Then, Fermes looked back at the gemd of the flesh.

"Except for the meat, I wonder if I would eat it. Gemd, lend me your plate."

"Go ahead," Gemd offered a wooden dish, with a well-behaved, faceless expression.

but Fermes, with his face close to the wood dish, is unfortunately lowering his brow.

"Oh, hey this... maybe the meat flavor is too strong for me. The smell alone makes me feel like I've chewed the meat."

"But it's delicious"

"I know," Fermes looked a little shaky when Gemd said with the same look on his face. It is an expression I have never shown before.

"You guys are eating your Giva dishes better than seafood dishes. That's about all you can see, so you don't have to push it."

"Really? Excuse me."

Gemd is more relaxed. Even though he seems to have absolute loyalty to his husband, Fermes has no fear of buying an unhappiness. Does this mean that trust can be built without shaking?

(Hmm... I guess it's against Gemd that Fermes looks the most human)

Thinking that way, looking sideways at Ai-Fa, they were also watching the Fermes with a serious eye.

"But this is not enough at all! Double the amount is missing!

And, George-Zaza giggles. Both tarapa soup and giva bone ramen are already empty of wood dishes. Apparently he wasn't dissatisfied with the seafood dishes either. "Excuse me," I answered with a smile, breathing relief.

"This time again, we prepare dishes with two guided drinks each. But isn't eating two glasses at a time a little wasteful?

"Hmm. Then before you do, do you want to keep the other dishes in your belly? I was just about to go around the square."

and Georg-Zaza turns to the Guests.

"That's why I let you take your seats... are you guys going to be sitting here all the time?

To George-Zaza's words, Nanaquem slightly tilted his neck.

"Aren't we, moving around, annoying?

"There's nothing annoying about that. Even if I stay in one place, I can't fulfill my job as a spectator? Me and I came here today in the same role."

When I was gazed at by George-Zaza, Giza-Lou also nodded "um".

"However, we are also inviting guests from Accommodation Town today. The people of Innkeeper Town will feel more afraid of the nobles, so when you're toured around the square, I'd like to show you someone from your blood."

"Now, when we see the ritual of marriage, let us also tour the square. Until then, I want to do my job here."

We often enjoyed the conversation and then decided to let him resign. It goes without saying that the long time of it was spent on Alvach's thoughts.

George-Zaza also took a seat, and only Ziza-Lou seemed to stay on the spot. Gazran-Rutim followed me as I and I turned our back to the next meal.

"I would also like to deliver Asta's dishes to Ama Min and the others who take care of the toddler"

"Oh, then I'll be with you. Because I promised Ama Min-Rutim I'd deliver the food."

What a happy mood to be stuck in Ai-Fa and Gazran-Rutim.

Prior to the simplicity, large crowds of people were still swarming. We'll get two dishes in line, and then we'll head to the branch house where the toddlers are gathered.

On the spot, there were a number of faces I knew. To Ama Min-Lutim, to Sati Ray-Luu, are the women of Lilyn. The rest seemed to be gathered around dairy drinkers, not so noisy looking.

"Excuse me, I brought you a feast dish served by seven families."

"Thank you. I've been waiting for Asta and the others to cook."

Satti Ray-Lew returns a gentle smile. Kota-Lou was nagging in his place.

"What we prepared is a Giva bone miso ramen and seafood tarapa soup. Both scents are stronger, does it look okay?

"Yes. I don't even care about the strong scent today. Ramen is my favorite dish, so I'm delighted."

We interrupted the hall and delivered the food to Sati Ray-Lu and the others.

Gazran-Rutim, who broke his knee by his partner, smiles gently.

"This dish is strong in fat, and although this dish seems to use some vanilla, it won't affect the milk enough. It's a feast, so don't hesitate to eat it."

Ama Min-Rutim smiled, "Yes."

It is Ama Min-Rutim, who has just begotten a child, with the two who are hosting him. The occasion was felt filled with an irresistibly soft air.

"When we gave blessings to both names, we were also taking turns out in the square… today's vina was so beautiful"

And that's what Sati Ray-Luu, who was eating Gibba bone ramen satisfactorily, said.

"The beauty of Vina originally stood out, but it's also beyond comparison. That's how happy Vina must be, and I kind of got my chest clogged."

"Me too. I am truly delighted that you two are able to give us a wedding."

"Oh, even more so if it was Asta, who was a friend of Schmiral-Lilyn's. I'm sure Asta has no less pleasure than the people of Lew."

Originally a serene and well-deserved Sati Ray-Luu, things like inclusiveness feel amplified since I've lived with my child. And yet, since she was originally also an intelligent woman, she seemed to be a tremendously reliable being.

"... did you two have a lot of opportunities to consult with Vina-Lou or something until the wedding was decided?

When I asked him that, Ama Min-Rutim answered me first.

"When I first started helping with the stall business, I remember talking about it a few times when I did that because I had a lot of opportunities to rent a bedroom at Lew's house. So while Schmiral-Lilyn was away from Genos,"

"Oh...... speaking of which, I think we have just bounded around Easter to have more chances of exchanging words with Vina. Ama Min-Rutim stopped working at the stall just then."

And, Sati Ray-Luu also overlaps words with a loose smile.

"It wasn't like a specific consultation, but Vina asked me a lot about it. I wish it would have helped clear Vina's mind... but it must be hard."

"No, I'm sure different people supported Vina-Lou, starting with you two. That's what blood families are for."

To my words, Lilyn's women, who had always been thorough listeners, spoke.

"Even for Schmiral-Lilyn, Asta's presence should have been supportive. I felt it strongly when Schmiral-Lilyn came back from Fa's house"

"From Fa's house?... Oh, when you asked Schmiral-Lilyn to treat Tia?

"Yes, that's the first time I've spent so much time with Asta, and it was already like a child. Of course, Schmiral-Lilyn is not good at moving his expression, but how pleased he was has been to pass it on with a shine."

When they heard those words, my eyeballs got hot again.

Ai-Fa, who was silently listening to our interactions, turns a very sharp eye.

"Hey... you gotta give it a rough shot, huh?

"It's okay. Look, I didn't spill any tears."

When Ai-Fa shrugged my shoulders, he swung his body with tremendous force.

The bounce causes tears that were caught in my eyelids to spill in a puffy way.

"... I'm saying maybe."

"Hey, isn't it Ey-Fa's fault right now"

Ama Min-Rutim and Sati Ray-Luu were laughing at her creeping like sisters.

Both Gazran-Rutim and Lilyn's ladies are smiling quietly. Leaving the swirling feast grounds of enthusiasm, today's settlement of Luu was filled with signs of joy in every corner, and no escape seemed to exist anywhere.
