Now, now, now!

s.h.i.+n, who was standing next to me, was taking notes of the procedure in bewilderement while I was feeling a great delight of the completion of the Orc liver Tatsutaage .

“To season and fry internal organs… can something like this be tasty? Geez, you did something strange as usual…”

What’s up with calling me strange, how rude .

I cooked while measuring by eye, so s.h.i.+n was writing down the rough amounts which I will review later .

Like this, the finished recipe will be shared with the chefs of our Ellisfeed family both in the fief and in the Capital . Recipes that are judged to be safe to spread outside the Ducal Household will be then sold to the Merchant’s Guild under the joint name of me and s.h.i.+n .

And then, the sales will be my and s.h.i.+n’s income .

I’m just making what I want to eat, and it’s s.h.i.+n who’s making proper recipes out of it, and I wanted all proceeds to go to s.h.i.+n, but felt like he was s.n.a.t.c.hing my achievements, so he pressed me for an equal split, which is being upheld up until now . I am grateful that I now have more pocket money to use, though .

Advertis.e.m.e.ntThey become my military funds to spend at the Bastea Company . Fufufu .

Well, the food is being bought recently with the Ellisfeed family’s budget, so there’s not much to use my pocket money on .

Therefore, I’m now trying to spend money on good things like tableware and tea .

Other than that, I save up money for when I put up a request with Galvano Ojisama, but he said that he’s fine if I pay with food, so he doesn’t take my money .

I decided to add Yahatul liquor as a bonus, but I thought that Galvano Ojisama’s commission would be higher than that, so I have to come up with more… oops, I derailed from the conversation .

Anyhow, the ingredients in the recipe s.h.i.+n is writing at the moment are “that” so it probably won’t be put up on sale . Besides the liver, I also used things like ginger .

Even though Tatsuaage is delicious . How unfortunate .

However, since food made out of internal organs might not be accepted, it would add to my “Repulsive food eating lady” t.i.tle, so I am compelled to keep this recipe a secret, right…?

Hmm, the liver is an ingredient that is split into the like and dislike camps, but it’s the best ingredient to supplement iron that women tend to lack, so it’s something I would like the anemic young n.o.ble ladies to eat .

While pondering, s.h.i.+n seemed to finish writing the recipe as he put down the pen and paper gently .

“… Something like this? Is this the correct procedure?”

“Lemme see?… Yeah, it seems fine . Ah right, either rice flour or potato starch is okay, if both are difficult to obtain then it can be replaced with wheat flour too . The finished product may look a little different, though . ”

“Got it . Certainly, powdering rice with magic is something only you would do, Missy . ”

s.h.i.+n noted down the instructions while grinning .

Ugugu, that certainly might be true, but… it’s so frustrating that I have no room to object .

“N, now, people who made this have a special privilege of sampling the food first! Let’s have some while it’s hot . ”

… Just kidding, it will stay hot when placed in my Inventory .

It’s the mood that counts, the mood .

“Eh… no, I would like to refrain, I think…”

s.h.i.+n, I think it’s rude to refuse with a cramped smile, you know?

“Nono, knowing that they are internal organs… a liver at that, right?… Is this really fine?”

“It’s fine, it’s not poisonous or anything . ”

I held out the plate with Orc liver Tatsutaage in front of s.h.i.+n who was slowly trying to escape .

“No, I know that it’s not poisonous . There’s not much of it, so you better have Kurogane-sama and Mas.h.i.+ro-sama try . ”

“I have already secured the two’s portion, so it’s fine . Now, now, now! Where will you find a that doesn’t confirm the taste of his food?”

“Ugh… all right . I just have to eat it, right?”

Preparing himself, s.h.i.+n pinched a small piece of Tatsutaage between his fingers and threw it into his mouth with his eyes shut tightly .
