\n --------------------------- \nChapter 32: Head Chef's Tears\n \n \n"What are you going to make?"\n \nAs I am standing and working in the kitchen,
Songho (the old chef) looks at me.\n \nHe is a veteran who has been working in this
Letivia family for more than 20 years now, and he is the head chef here.\n \nAt first, he watched me doing some familiar
cooking, but now I am stirring eggs in a bowl.\n \nIt looks like I am going to make omelets.\n \nOr it’s a bean dish.\n \nSongho noticed the beans on the plate.\n \nThey were already cooked in water and shiny.\n \nHe also looked at the red eggplant, onions,
potatoes, and minced meat on the chopping board as if inspecting the
ingredients.\n \n"Hmm. From the looks of it, is it pork
beans?"\n \nIn the end, Songho guesses on his own.\n \nIt is a dish prepared by mixing pork and beans,
then stewing them with red eggplant.\n \nIt 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.\n \nApparently, even after 300 years, its popularity
has not diminished.\n \n--But I was wrong.\n \n"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."\n \nApparently, only Songho-san knows about pork
beans. The other young chefs don't know about it.\n \nHe and Miss Lilith are stunned as they observe
me cooking.\n \n"We'll talk about that later. For
now--"\n \n"Oops. I'm sorry for interrupting your
cooking. If there's anything you need, just let me know."\n \nSongho-san's attitude is much softer than the
first time I met him.\n \nIt seemed that Miss Lilith's words were
effective.\n \nI immediately started cooking.\n \nFirst, I cut the ingredients into bite-size
pieces and soaked them in water.\n \nI put oil in a pot and put in the grated garlic.\n \nI put the pot slightly away from the fire and
let it heat up slowly.\n \nWhen 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.\n \n"What meat is that?"\n \nSongho comes and observes my cooking again.\n \nThis time, he is mashing potatoes.\n \nAn unfamiliar person is cooking in his kitchen.\n \nHe couldn't help but feel curious about me.\n \nBut he is indeed a veteran chef.\n \nAt first glance, the meat I had prepared looked
like ordinary pork.\n \nBut he seems to have recognized that it is not
pork.\n \n"You'll have to wait until you eat it to
find out."\n \n"What a waste of time for a little boy.
Well, that's all right. Do as you please."\n \nSongho returns to his post, but he is still
curious and keeps glancing at me.\n \nI stir-fry minced meat and onions with him
watching my back.\n \nWhen the color changes, I add the water-soaked
potatoes, onions, the previously cooked beans, sliced tomatoes, and water.\n \nI lower the heat and let it simmer for a while.\n \nGut, gut, gut, gut. ......\n \nWhen the pot gets noisy, I add the stock powder
and let it simmer again.\n \nThe key is not to turn up the heat too much. It
tastes better if you boil it slowly over low heat.\n \nIf the heat is too strong, the water will
evaporate too quickly, and the potatoes will stay hard.\n \nI stick a skewer into the
potato. If it easily goes in, then it is ready. Yup! It
turned out well.\n \nSeason it with salt, pepper, and milk, remove it
from the fire, and it's done-- but one more thing to do.\n \nI add cheese at the end.\n \nAfter lightly heating it, it's finally done.\n \n"Cheese pork beans are ready."\n \n"Wow……!"\n \nMiss Lilith's blue eyes are shining brightly.\n \nThe other cooks are also intoxicated by the
aroma of the cheese and tomatoes, which are added at the end of the dish.\n \n"Pork beans with cheese? You make some
pretty fancy stuff, little boy."\n \nSongho claps me on the back.\n \nIt hurts, but I guess it's his way of showing
his appreciation.\n \n"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."\n \n"I don't mind. Actually, I am going to ask
you to do so."\n \nI am also grateful for his offer.\n \nBecause I would be able to have a veteran chef
taste it.\n \n"Yeah!"\n \nSongho-san pumps his fist.\n \nIt is part of his job to taste it, but maybe
Songho-san is also tempted to eat it.\n \nHe said his grandma used to make the pork beans
for him.\n \nHe must be happy to be able to eat them for the
first time after so long.\n \n"Do you mind if we taste it too?"\n \nThe other chefs also raise their hands.\n \nOf course, I have no reason to refuse.\n \nSongho and the other Letivia chefs scoop the
dish onto small spoons and put it into their mouths.\n \nThis is the most nerve-wracking moment for me.\n \n[[Delicious!]]\n \nThe young chefs raise their voices.\n \n"This is delicious!!"\n \nSongho also praised the dish.\n \n"Tomatoes and cheese go well
together."\n \n"Yeah, the sweetness of the cheese and the
sourness of the tomatoes go well together. The texture also varies."\n \n"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."\n \n"Each has its own strength and weakness,
but the balance is good."\n \n"The meat was salted, wasn't it? The
saltiness is just right. But what holds all these flavors together?"\n \n"Yeah. I feel the deep flavor..."\n \nWhile chewing slowly, the cooks tilt their
heads.\n \nThen Songho speaks to me.\n \nLittle boy, what did you use for the soup
stock?"\n \nYou're amazing, Songho-san.\n \nYou notice that part. As expected of the head
chef.\n \n"This."\n \nI showed him the stock powder.\n \nThe powder is made of something that has been
finely crushed.\n \n"This is ....... It is made of crushed
dried vegetables."\n \n"Eh?"\n \n"You make soup stock with that?"\n \n"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."\n \nHe pats my head a little roughly.\n \nThis must be Songho-san's greatest compliment.\n \nPork beans come in many flavors.\n \nThe sweetness of potatoes, onions, and beans.\n \nThe sourness of red eggplant and cheese.\n \nThe saltiness of salted meat and butter.\n \nThe dish has been popular among the nobles
because it has many stimulating flavors, each with its own nutritional value.\n \nHowever, the variety of flavors makes it
difficult to summarize this dish.\n \nTo bring the flavors together, I used dried
vegetables.\n \nThe strong flavor is as strong as animal broth.
It brings together complex flavors and adds depth to the taste.\n \nThe result is an elegant taste that you will
never get tired of.\n \n"Sob...."\n \nWhen I notice, Songho is crying.\n \n"Oh, Oyakata
is..."\n \n"He's crying!?"\n \nThe young chefs were surprised when they saw the
head chef's tears.\n \nSo Songho-san is called Oyakata.\n \n"Ex, excuse me... Songho-san, are you
okay?"\n \n"Thanks, little boy."\n \n"Eh?"\n \n"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."\n \n"Thank you!"\n \nSongho-san looks at me with his eyes red and
gives me a thumbs up.\n \n Lupus-Sensei :
