256 Episode 168: Business negotiations and reports



"This is a very interesting seasoning!"
"It's more like butter than seasoning,"

 What does peanut butter really fall into?

"Well, it's such a waste of time that it hasn't been discovered."

 Assund's eyes sparkle like pearls. It's a pearl of a pig's pearl.

 The peanut butter I made last night is applied to the freshly baked crepe and it looks delicious.
 If it's true, I'd like to spread it on the bread, but... this bread is not bread. It's a blunt instrument.
 The bread's potential was so low that it could drag peanut butter down, so he went out of his way to bake the crepes.

"If we had met earlier, we would have had three times more wonderful memories than we have now, but it's a pity... mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo

 And Bertina, who naturally attends the tasting party.
 ... I'm going to donate to the church later.

"You're amazing! How can you cook it so thinly?"
"... Loretta's pancake,"
"It's a crepe!"

 Loretta barks at apparently pancake objects. It's a pancake, though. Well, it's good to eat with peanut butter.

"When the church donations are over, gather a group of young hamsters. I want to peel peanuts."
"Is it okay to be in the younger group?"

 a young group that is not yet entrusted with work Loretta seems to be constantly pressed to "work and work" and it seems hard to appease.

 Therefore, you can just "help" them out of their grievances. Simple tasks consume time, strength and cheerfulness, so it would be helpful if you could help me.
 Above all! - Young people don't have to pay.
 Giving them a job is already like remuneration. ...there's no way not to make use of it. Hmm...

"Huh!? Your brother looks kind of mean!"
"No. That face is the face of someone thinking about something for them."
"...Loretta is still sweet."
"What!? Really?"
"I can only see a very nasty face in my eyes..."

 Jeanette and Magda's words make Loretta and Assunt stare me in the face.
 Stop it. I'll charge you an admission fee.

 Most of the time, I've done for someone.
 I've bought too much.

"Well, recently, there's a lot of talk about sweets at Yodomari-tei..."
"Yes, yes. I'm sure this peanut butter will be a big hit following the cake."

 Ascent's smiling face never stops.
 He's going to look like a pussy one of these days, isn't he? I don't think he's going to look like a bad guy when we met him.

"Actually, I want to make a new seasoning,"
"Can you tell me the details?"

 An Ebisu face turns into a gleaming look like a predator in an instant.
 You're eating more than I expected!?
 The effect of peanut butter is very serious.

 If you let them eat something delicious that they don't know first, and then propose something new, the expectation of "what great things will come next?" increases.
 If this happens, the negotiations will go smoothly. I'm sure you'll be able to listen to me with some difficulty.

"Will you introduce me to a guy who handles koji?"
"Koji...?"
"Oh, it's essential for what we're going to make."
"If it's koji, I think you can get a lot of things if you tell the people who make miso."
"Various?"
"Yes, there are salt koji, rice koji, seed koji, and so on."

 That's as good as I expected. He'll keep hold of what I want.

"Are you going to make miso?"
"Well, it's not so much miso... it's a bean paste.
"It's a name I've never heard of before. They didn't even translate it."

 Is Assundt also talking with attention to the differences in the way he hears "Forced Translation Magic"?
 This guy uses his brain a little differently than any other guy, after all.
 You've taken good sides with me. If he had been the enemy for a long time, he would have been a tough opponent.

 Making money is great, isn't it?
 Money is the strongest bond.
 Making money is, after all, the world's only and greatest justice.

 It's not the time to reconfirm that.

"It's a spicy seasoning that dramatically improves the taste of simple stir-fried vegetables, and a certain dish that can be produced by using it is definitely a hit."
"Well... is it such a great seasoning?" I can't believe it's going to be a hit... but I'm sure that Mr. Yashiro's adamantness to say that he can cook great food."

 Oh, my God.
 Mapo tofu is a typical dish made with bean paste sauce. There's no fault with that.

"If you use koji, you need to ferment it, don't you?"
"Oh, about half a year at room temperature."
"It will take a long time,"
"It's hard, anyway." It takes time to bring out the round taste."

 This time, however, they are trying to shorten the maturing time by dividing it into smaller groups.

"Then I'll introduce you to a miso maker who is in charge of fermentation." If you leave it to him, he'll definitely do the perfect fermentation."

 I see. Even if I don't make anything, if I leave it to a professional, can I manage koji well?

"But in that case, you'll have to show me how to make it, but ... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
"I know," If I succeed, I'll give you a copy."`Then I will make it a success at all costs!'

 I'm enthusiastic about Assault is enthusiastic.
 He seems to be convinced now. "This is profitable," he said.

"Well, I tried frying vegetables in the bean paste soy sauce that you made for me. Would you like one?"

 Jeanette gently puts out the stir-fried vegetables on a small plate.
 This is a so-called bean paste soy sauce, which is seasoned with miso and chili oil, and salt and soy sauce.
 Incidentally, chili oil is also homemade. Regina had chili peppers and octangles, so I made them before, but I didn't know they would help me here. You should try everything.

"Huh!? Is this the taste of soy sauce?"
`It's 'tomoki','
"It's spicy and appetizing!"
"I just changed the seasoning that I always use for seasoning to this one, so I think anyone can easily get this taste."
"I see. I wish I could make this taste without the skill of Jeanette."

 I hear the sound of an abacus playing from inside Assund's skull... he's so easy to understand that he's counting in his brain.

"It may be a little tough, but I'll introduce you to professionals from all walks of life! I'll try to win over the legends of the miso industry!"

 He seems to have switched to a person one rank higher than the person I mentioned earlier.
 They must have tried to make it a real success by tasting it.
 But there's a legend in the miso industry... you know, famous people everywhere.

"I can't do it like this! I'll talk to you soon! Um, may I borrow a little of that 'soy-pan-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy-soy'
"Yes, yes! Please bring it." It's delicious to dip it in celery, so please try it."
"That's very much.

 flutter one's preparations
 It would be all right to throw the negotiations at Assault. Therefore, I will give you the recipe for bean paste orally.
 If you leave the job to me, I'd like you to even consider whether it's possible. Well, it should be easier than making miso, so there will be no problem, but few people will accept making something that is unknown.

"Are you going to use Solamame... I didn't have that idea."

 look at me as if Assunt had admired me
 Stop it. I didn't think of it. This is a recipe made easy by our landlady, who arranged what was invented by someone who was good at cooking in the past.
 I only knew the information.

"Actually, we have an oversupply of Soramame beans to meet demand... and we've been in trouble because we can't handle them."
"I suppose..."

 Anyway, it's something that can be imposed so much in a famous production area.
 If there's anything left over, save the production. Don't say quotas.

"Anyway, please look forward to receiving a positive answer."
"Come on, man. Can I say 'must' to you?"

 If you don't do well, you might be turned into a frog.

"Oh, my gosh. Mr. Yashiro is a trustworthy person, so I don't mind."
"Well, that's a good thing to hear. It's helpful that it looks easy to use."
"Hmm... and... Wouldn't it be better for you to keep using it instead of turning me into a frog?"

 Well, that's true.
 There's no merit in turning Assault into a frog.

"This kind of stimulation will keep us in a good relationship for a long time." Friendship is."
"Well... since when did we become friends, we..."
"By the time I knew it... Hmm."

 Don't look happy. It's disgusting.
 Ascent left in high spirits, puffed up by his new business.

"... well. It's hard work to ask him a favor."

 When I exhale heavily, Jeanette shakes her shoulders next to me.

"But you looked very happy. Both of you."
"They both love to make money,"
"You're close, aren't you?"

 Don't do that. The chill is getting worse and I'm going to sleep.
 Behind the giggling Jeanette, Loretta was mass-producing pancakes and Bertina was eating them. ...you guys are going to eat breakfast after this? Stop it.

"Bertina," That's about it. I'm afraid I'll have nothing to eat."
"I don't mind. Sweet things are on separate sides."
`...can you fill your stomach first?'

 Wasn't that a guy who was full but still able to eat?

"Anyway, it's all over. confiscate."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

 Jeanette confiscates pancakes in front of a reluctant Bertina.
 Jeanette is capable of being strict in this kind of place, isn't she? I'm a very amateur, but can you do some training? ...but the other way around. Pull yourself together, mother.

"This peanut butter is amazing, isn't it? I think I can eat as much as I want."
"I gain weight if I eat too much."
"Isn't it much better than starving?"

 This may be the case in this world, especially in the poverty‐stricken 42 wards.
 ...but if you keep eating at the Bertina level, all the church kids will be obese. I can't overlook it."We need to limit our usage."
"Well, it's not good to eat too much."

 I wish you had indoctrinated those words on your mother's behalf sooner.
 Well, that seems to be a sign that the 42 wards have improved in their eating.
 It's complicated whether we should be happy or grieving.

"Well, let's head to church now,"

 We headed to church, loaded with pre-prepared ingredients and firmly loaded with bean paste and peanut butter.





"Yasilo, I've been waiting for you!"
"Yasilo, I've been waiting for you!"

 When I left the Yodamari-tei, Delia and Norma were waiting for me.

"Come to the river right now! I have something to show you!"
"Come to the river right now! There's something I want to show you!"

 You are bombarded with the same words at the same time, right and left.
 What's wrong with you two of you.

"Manager, I'll borrow a palm-ro!"
"Mr. Manager, I'm going to borrow a palm-ro!"

 Grabbing my arms tightly, I was taken away to be carried up by two giant beasts.
 From the distant Jeanette comes misguided words like, "Well, I'll be waiting for you at church~!" No, no, just stop them from running wild.

 Delia and Norma intertwine their arms like a couple.
 The only things that don't look like a couple are Delia and Norma's face being so desperate, their arms being restrained by so much force, and I'm moving backwards because I'm the other way around.

"Oh, it's fast! Scary! Calm down! I'm not on my feet! I've been floating all the time!"

 I'm being lifted up and taken to the river.






"Look, Jiro! The stream is back! Jiro! You've opened the sluice gate properly!"

 I arrived at the riverbed in a matter of minutes, and I was squatting on the riverbed with my limbs, despite Delia's frenzy.
 I was scared. You can't enjoy roller coasters without safety bars at all.

"The current of the water has been restored since about noon yesterday! I've seen the New Town, and there's a waterfall, and underneath that, Loretta's sisters were bathing straw! Naked!"

 No, I don't need any information like, "Naked!"I don't have a propensity to show interest in it.

 I managed to get myself together and look up, and I found myself certainly back in the river.
 There is still little water, but it is flowing properly. With this much water, water will flow into the waterway without the need for a footmill.

`If it's over, it's Atashi's turn!'

 I can understand why even Norma pulled me so hard, as Delia must have run away with joy when the floodgates that had been closed.
 What on earth do you want to show me on the riverbed?
 ...... Huh!? No way!

"Is it a new bikini?"
"No!? I didn't bring a swimsuit!"
"Then what are you going to wear and swim?"
"I won't swim!"

 You can go into the water with your shirt on!
 That's it, and somehow it's very youthful!

"I've heard that the children are playing in the waterwheel."

 Norma proudly pulls out the pipe and puffs out the smoke.
 Move to the front of the waterwheel and put your hands on something that wasn't there before.

"Atsushi made a handrail for you! Now there's no danger of falling down! Children can play to their heart's content.

 Metal fences and handrails were attached around the mill.
 Did you really want to bite a bite? Did you hate being out of the group?

"Make him a squid..."
`I'm working hard on that! Well, you can't do such a big thing in a day or so, so I don't mind doing something else in between!'
"I mean, they're jumping in on their own?"
`And diving and falling are different!'

 Norma is desperate.
 This guy is a little bit close to Imelda... like a rivalry with Umaro.

 Come on...

"I'm in trouble if you don't finish it early."
"Why is Jiro in trouble? Marsha said, 'The next voyage is a month away~' so if you can deliver it by then, there is no problem."
"What? Impersonate Marsha now? Do it again!"
"I don't like it!? I didn't mean to copy you!"
"Well, it was a little cute," I'd like to see it again~... A glance.
"Oh... I said it was cute... ...that's why..."

 After staring at her, Norma's hand gradually begins to move busily, clutching and rolling the pipe.
 But not yet...

"Well, practice... and then see you."

 Norma broke.
 I mean, I'm practicing, I'm imitating Marsha. I'd like to see the practice.

"Well, anyway! As for squid, I'm making it well planned, so don't worry."
"No, it's not so much.

 I don't want to rush to finish the squid.
 If we don't give him a decent job, he could put safety bars all over the river, saying, "For the sake of the children."

 I just got what I want, and I'll ask for it.

"I'd like to ask you something,"
"I'll make it!"

 Oh... the ability to make decisions as quickly as a woman.
 Oh? You don't have a job in the 42nd district right now? You should be busier than before, right?I'm sure Norman is engaged in a number of things, such as reinforcing parts for the street gates and armour for soldiers."

"And what are you going to make?"

 come with a great deal of gulp I wish they'd push their breasts at that rate, but they'd stop just before.
 Ugh... I can't help it!

"Did you make a mill before?"
"Mill... oh, you smashed coffee beans."
"I want you to improve it a little so that I can crush another thing. "If possible, I would be happy if I could adjust the roughness."""
"If the base was a mill, I think it would be relatively easy to make... what are you going to make this time?"

 I've got enough peanuts at the moment.
 I just wanted to recreate what I liked in Japan.

"I'm thinking of making a doughnut."

 The inability to make bread, my consciousness turned away from wheat and turned to corn flour and rice, came home to me when I saw Loretta making pancakes this morning.
 Donuts don't fall under the category of bread because they don't bake in stone kilns.
 It's not that hard to make and it's good to be hungry.
 If that's the case, we can serve it at Yodamari-tei.

 Above all, I liked doughnuts sprinkled with crushed peanuts, coated with peanuts.
 Plains and a few different flavors will give the girls another bite.

"What kind of food is that? Is that a snack?"
"Will you let me try it again when I make the tools?"

 In this way.
 What? Are people in this city hypnotized that I get excited when I make something? I don't think it's Pavlov's dog... conditional reflexes are scary.

"It's a sweet snack." It's pretty good."
"Norma! I'll help you too, so make it right away!"
"If you help me, it'll take more time! I'll finish it all night..."

 No, Norma... I'm sorry it's burning.

"Do you make squid properly?"
"It's all right! We'll make sure we meet the deadline. That's Atashi's policy!"
"Yes, Jiro! We still have a month left! Norma will make it in time! So donuts come first!"

 I wonder if Delia is cheering for Norma or trying to overwork her.

"Is it okay to put off squid?"
"No problem! I'll make it in time!"
"And what did Marsha say?"
"Don't let me say, 'The next voyage is a month away~'
"Well, Norma... doesn't look anything like Marsha at all?"
"Oh my gosh! I'm still practicing!"

 I'm going to master it, Norma.

"Ah... the river will be restored, we can eat donuts... it's a good day, isn't it?"
"Come on. You're not going to have a doughnut today, are you?"
"Why!"
"I haven't prepared anything yet!"

 How many can you make in a day?
 There are still some beans left over. I've got to do something about that now.

"I have to make peanut butter, and that's my priority today."
"'Peanut butter!'"

 It's getting really close to me!?

"Help me! I'm going to take a break from river fishing! I'll help you!"
"I'll help you, too!"
"Norma, make Mill and Cool!"
"Huh!? If you go to church now...?!?"
"Well, Delia! They must be tasting at the Sister's by now!"
"All right! Let's go!"
`Come on!'
"Hey, you guys!"

 The two who took me this far forcefully leave me alone and leave me out of the riverbed at a terrific speed.
 Hey!
 In addition to Bertina, Delia... we'll run out of sweets in the world!
 ... Norma, well, she'll just eat normally, and I don't care. I eat relatively little.

 Anyway, it would be troublesome if it spread any further. I haven't even made peanut butter yet.
 I'm going to shell out with the hamsters and cook them well... but I'm afraid I'm going to get a lot of pressure...

"We must stop him!"

 I put all my strength into my right foot and take a big step.
 I kicked them to the ground with all my might and chased them... I can't see them anymore!? Were they that fast!?

 I hurried back to the church, but by the time I got there the Deliers seemed to have gone into the lounge. ...it's a hell of a lot of excitement.

"They're making a big deal of it, too."

 Half resigned, I entered the church.
 The person who greeted me at the door...

"You're late, anchovy,"
"Come on, come on!"

 Lucia and Gilberta.
 ...I thought they were coming after noon. How long have you been looking forward to it?

"Now, will you serve me what you asked you to serve me.
"I've started to borrow money."

 I'm not going to leave right now.

"Oh, Jiro! Oh, no. I'm running out of peanut butter!""...I need to add it as soon as possible."
"I'm gathering my free brothers and sisters! I think they'll be here soon.

 From the kitchen, the three daughters of Yodamari-tei show up, followed by Delia and Norma with bright faces.

"I got just one bite, but it's delicious, peanut butter! Oh, I love it!"
"It's bad to take the children's share, so I refrained from it... I'd rather eat a little more."

 They are followed by straws, church children, and hamsters.

"Brother! It was delicious!"
`Oh, my God!'
"Hey! More!"
`I beg you!'

 They are swarming around me.
 Ants, what about you guys? Are you a habit of swarming around sweets?

"Ah, Mr. Jiro... what shall I do?"
"What shall I do?"

 Do you want me to hit the kids one shot at a time and silence them?
 ...no, I can't beat Delia and Norma. While they're following the kids, they'll have nothing but revenge. I'd like you to keep me quiet somehow. . . . . . . .

"If you don't eat properly, you don't eat sweets."

 Surprisingly, it was Bertina who clapped her hands and sank the children.

"Hmmm. Sweet things are attractive, but when you think about nutrition, a decent meal is still the best."

 It was so.
 This man is a strict substitute for his mother, isn't he?
 Every parent scolds their child if they put snacks before meals.

 ...but why can't I tell myself that... ...because he eats well. Unlike the kids, you can't say, "I'm full with snacks, I don't need rice."

"I haven't eaten it yet, so I'll make it as soon as possible, anchovy."
"I'm excited, too, since yesterday."

 And the pressure from adults... OK.

"If you eat, I'll get to work."
"Yes!"
"... My arms ring."
"Our brothers and sisters are all gathered together!"

 The sunlit pavilion has been in full swing since early in the morning.
 It's just peanut butter... ...but from this perspective, it looks like it's going to sell very well as long as it's in circulation.
 That might be the least relief.
