--------------------------- Chapter 32: Head Chef's Tears  "What are you going to make?" As I am standing and working in the kitchen,

Songho (the old chef) looks at me. He is a veteran who has been working in this

Letivia family for more than 20 years now, and he is the head chef here. At first, he watched me doing some familiar

cooking, but now I am stirring eggs in a bowl. It looks like I am going to make omelets. Or it’s a bean dish. Songho noticed the beans on the plate. They were already cooked in water and shiny. He also looked at the red eggplant, onions,

potatoes, and minced meat on the chopping board as if inspecting the

ingredients. "Hmm. From the looks of it, is it pork

beans?" In the end, Songho guesses on his own. It is a dish prepared by mixing pork and beans,

then stewing them with red eggplant. It is a popular breakfast food for the nobles

because it is an iron plate dish and allows them to consume vegetables and

other ingredients at once. Apparently, even after 300 years, its popularity

has not diminished. --But I was wrong. "Where did you learn

it?　I haven't eaten

pork beans since my grandmother made them for me. I never even made pork beans

myself." Apparently, only Songho-san knows about pork

beans. The other young chefs don't know about it. He and Miss Lilith are stunned as they observe

me cooking. "We'll talk about that later. For

now--" "Oops. I'm sorry for interrupting your

cooking. If there's anything you need, just let me know." Songho-san's attitude is much softer than the

first time I met him. It seemed that Miss Lilith's words were

effective. I immediately started cooking. First, I cut the ingredients into bite-size

pieces and soaked them in water. I put oil in a pot and put in the grated garlic. I put the pot slightly away from the fire and

let it heat up slowly. When the garlic scent starts to come out, I add

the minced meat and the onions I had soaked in water earlier and stir-fry them. "What meat is that?" Songho comes and observes my cooking again. This time, he is mashing potatoes. An unfamiliar person is cooking in his kitchen. He couldn't help but feel curious about me. But he is indeed a veteran chef. At first glance, the meat I had prepared looked

like ordinary pork. But he seems to have recognized that it is not

pork. "You'll have to wait until you eat it to

find out." "What a waste of time for a little boy.

Well, that's all right. Do as you please." Songho returns to his post, but he is still

curious and keeps glancing at me. I stir-fry minced meat and onions with him

watching my back. When the color changes, I add the water-soaked

potatoes, onions, the previously cooked beans, sliced tomatoes, and water. I lower the heat and let it simmer for a while. Gut, gut, gut, gut. ...... When the pot gets noisy, I add the stock powder

and let it simmer again. The key is not to turn up the heat too much. It

tastes better if you boil it slowly over low heat. If the heat is too strong, the water will

evaporate too quickly, and the potatoes will stay hard. I stick a skewer into the

potato. If it easily goes in, then it is ready. Yup!　It

turned out well. Season it with salt, pepper, and milk, remove it

from the fire, and it's done-- but one more thing to do. I add cheese at the end. After lightly heating it, it's finally done. "Cheese pork beans are ready." "Wow……!" Miss Lilith's blue eyes are shining brightly. The other cooks are also intoxicated by the

aroma of the cheese and tomatoes, which are added at the end of the dish. "Pork beans with cheese? You make some

pretty fancy stuff, little boy." Songho claps me on the back. It hurts, but I guess it's his way of showing

his appreciation. "Can I taste it?　I'm

the head chef, after all. As the person in charge of food, I can't just serve

it to our Lord and his wife without tasting it." "I don't mind. Actually, I am going to ask

you to do so." I am also grateful for his offer. Because I would be able to have a veteran chef

taste it. "Yeah!" Songho-san pumps his fist. It is part of his job to taste it, but maybe

Songho-san is also tempted to eat it. He said his grandma used to make the pork beans

for him. He must be happy to be able to eat them for the

first time after so long. "Do you mind if we taste it too?" The other chefs also raise their hands. Of course, I have no reason to refuse. Songho and the other Letivia chefs scoop the

dish onto small spoons and put it into their mouths. This is the most nerve-wracking moment for me. [[Delicious!]] The young chefs raise their voices. "This is delicious!!" Songho also praised the dish. "Tomatoes and cheese go well

together." "Yeah, the sweetness of the cheese and the

sourness of the tomatoes go well together. The texture also varies." "It depends on the ingredients. The onions

have a crispy texture, the potatoes have a soft and melting texture, and the

beans have a crunchy texture." "Each has its own strength and weakness,

but the balance is good." "The meat was salted, wasn't it? The

saltiness is just right. But what holds all these flavors together?" "Yeah. I feel the deep flavor..." While chewing slowly, the cooks tilt their

heads. Then Songho speaks to me. Little boy, what did you use for the soup

stock?" You're amazing, Songho-san. You notice that part. As expected of the head

chef. "This." I showed him the stock powder. The powder is made of something that has been

finely crushed. "This is ....... It is made of crushed

dried vegetables." "Eh?" "You make soup stock with that?" "When vegetables are dried, they lose their

water content and become more flavorful. If you put them in hot water, you can

use them right away to make soup stock. But I didn't expect to find dried

vegetables in pork beans. They are full of nutrition, aren't they? Good

thinking, little boy." He pats my head a little roughly. This must be Songho-san's greatest compliment. Pork beans come in many flavors. The sweetness of potatoes, onions, and beans. The sourness of red eggplant and cheese. The saltiness of salted meat and butter. The dish has been popular among the nobles

because it has many stimulating flavors, each with its own nutritional value. However, the variety of flavors makes it

difficult to summarize this dish. To bring the flavors together, I used dried

vegetables. The strong flavor is as strong as animal broth.

It brings together complex flavors and adds depth to the taste. The result is an elegant taste that you will

never get tired of. "Sob...." When I notice, Songho is crying. "Oh, Oyakata

is..." "He's crying!?" The young chefs were surprised when they saw the

head chef's tears. So Songho-san is called Oyakata. "Ex, excuse me... Songho-san, are you

okay?" "Thanks, little boy." "Eh?" "I feel as if I have met my grandmother

again after so long. It was delicious. I have no complaints. You can serve it

to my master." "Thank you!" Songho-san looks at me with his eyes red and

gives me a thumbs up.  Lupus-Sensei :
