It's the first step!

The leftovers from the cold brew dashi will be chopped into small pieces and roasted before getting mixed with seasonings and made into dashigara furikake, so I keep them in the inventory until a certain amount is saved.

As for the available ingredients for miso soup… when I checked the vegetable stock, a turnip that seemed to have just been brought in this morning from the cafeteria in the salon building caught my eye.

Without discarding the skin, I cut it into strips and put it in a bowl with 5 cm pieces of kombu and salt, covered it with a plate, and then put it in the cold room.

Now we have a tsukemono to serve at dinner.

I would like to have aburaage with the turnips, but I don't have any ingredients for tofu.

I want to make miso soup with tofu… because I really miss it.

But I don't know where to get nigari (bittern)… I couldn't find it at the Bastea Company after all.

I should find some beans that look like chickpeas and make hummus… Would that be too much to ask while I'm at the academy?

The tofu problem is always a dead end due to the lack of nigari.

I'm sure there are other ways to make tofu, but in my previous life, nigari was available at the supermarket, and I could just buy the tofu itself, so I never thought I would have so much trouble with just one piece of tofu.

While I was thinking about this, I put another turnip in the pot and put it on the fire. When the turnip became transparent, I put the leaves in and when the cooking was done, I dissolve the miso in it and the miso soup was ready.

I got the beaten eggs from Kurogane and Mashiro, and thought about whether to make it into a dashimaki egg or an omelet.

I wiped the table, prepared the cutlery, and watched as everyone happily took their plates to their respective tables, while putting away my apron, and then I got in line.

After breakfast, I asked all the Sacred Beasts to clean up, and Sei and I went back to our rooms to prepare the study materials before heading to the entrance hall.

Teacher Neil was also just leaving, and was talking with Sei in front of the entrance when I came down.

“Are you guys leaving already? You're so studious! Many of the other noble students leave the seat holding to the commoner students and go slowly. The commoner kids are all early risers by nature, so they make good pocket money out of this.”
