Soy sauce was expensive
“Apparently, the old king wanted it… Though, since it cannot be made here, it is imported from other countries. And so the price is not very accessible… Still, we buy a small amount for this house.”
“I see…”
Well, the old king in this case must be Mr. Euto.
After meeting him, I was able to think about all the little ways he had influenced the country.
“However…it might be difficult. Using it.”
“Why? Oh, because there is not enough?”
“Yes. The duke is able to acquire some in spite of the price. But there is still not enough, considering how much of the konjac we have to eat. After all, there is only a small amount available on the market.”
“I see… Then we won’t be able to make much even if we did use it.”
I didn’t know how much they had exactly, but it was probably just enough for one meal.“In any case. Here is some of it. Would you like to try it?”
Ms. Helena said as she took out a small bottle.
It contained the familiar dark liquid. But if that was all they had, there was not much at all.
It definitely should not be used for some cheap meat and potatoes dish.
I also wondered if I should even try it.
“It is fine. After all, I don’t think the others even like it.”
“I see. Very well then…”
She then poured a few drops into a small plate and I tasted it.
“Hmm…!”
“Are you alright, Mr. Takumi?”
“Uh…I’m fine. I just felt a little emotional, that is all.”
After tasting it, I had made a fist and then crouched on the floor.
And so the others were quite startled.
However, this was not the same as the soy sauce I had before…
Not that it was all the same in Japan. But there was something… It was saltier than I expected. Regardless, I was not surprised that Ms. Helena had trouble finding a use for it.
Especially since it was expensive, and they only had a small amount.
“Well, I think we can think about it later. Right now, we should focus on the konjac.”
“Hah… Of course.”
“It adds something new to it, and is good in its own way.”
“Yes. It’s because you cooked it so well, Ms. Helena.”
In the end, it was decided that she would make pot-au-feu and add pieces of the konjac inside and boil it.
As it was not something with a strong taste, it blended in with the rest easily. And people liked the texture.
Only Leo and Sherry were more interested in the meat and sausages that they were given.
“It is not too soft or light.”
“If you eat less things with potatoes or flour, and eat more dishes with the konjak, then it may help with weight loss.”
“I see. Less foods high in calories, and eat this instead. Even if the overall amount is similar, the results are different.”
“Yes… If you just cut down on the overall amount, you may not get enough of the necessary nutrition. And so I think that it’s best to continue eating a proper amount.”
