In front of you are beef and pork meat, eggs, onions and bread. and various seasonings
　If you're a little bit familiar with cooking, you can almost predict what this will make.

"Well, I've been teaching you what I've promised you for a long time..."

　Tell him so, he glances at the people in the kitchen.
　There were nearly twenty cooks there.
　No one looks tired even though they cooked a lot of food at a party called the celebration that was held until last night and had just finished preparing breakfast a few hours before today.
　No, our eyes glistened with curiosity and chef's instincts when we could find new recipes that we didn't know.

(I've taught you udon and seafood okonomiyaki, but there's never been anyone like this before. Is there only the chef of the best inn in the Empire of Bestia?)

　Despite the subtle pressure, Ray reopens.

"The first thing to keep in mind is that even though it's a dish I know, it doesn't mean that I've actually cooked it. All I know is what I've read in a book, and this is the first time I've actually cooked it. I want you to understand it and listen to it."

　Ray's words make sense to a man in his fifties who is also the cook's coordinator.

"Yes, we know it. But it's still many times faster than developing a new dish without knowing anything. Besides, if there's any fault with the food, I'll improve it. Well, are you guys? Show me the will of the chef of the inn of eternity!"
"Oh!"

　The other chefs nod in unison to Maxim, the cook's organizer and general manager.
　He was a man of flexible thinking for his firm face.
　After confirming it, Ray opens his mouth with a little relief.

"All right. Then first of all..."

　muttered Ray, turning his eyes to the table.
　The food made from the ingredients in front of you is hamburger. However, even Ray has only experienced cooking in elementary school, so he cooks in a very vague state.

"Well... I'll chop this meat into small pieces first." It's called ground meat."
"...to carve the right meat? That's... no, there's no two words to the man. All right. I'll do it right away."

　Maxim gives instructions to his men, alarmed by Ray's sudden instructions. 　
　Following the instructions, the subordinate cooks chop up high-quality parts, such as beef and pork fillets.
　Ray, who only knew about the meat parts as much as the average person, could not tell that the parts that were carved now were high quality. In particular, when I see the fillet, I even think that there is no sashi in it.

"Then chop the onions and fry them until they are clear." Bake the bread lightly, and then cut it into small pieces."

　The instructions are given immediately, and the onions are quickly chopped and fried.
　Even bread is cut into small pieces as soon as the surface is cooked.
　Working in a restaurant in a long-standing restaurant, everyone goes smoothly and without any hesitation.
　In the meantime, the meat is ground, the onions are fried, the bread crumbs... more precisely.

(I've seen it on TV or on some cooking show... well, let's leave it to a professional.) As for bread crumbs, I had an image of bread, but I don't know if this bread can be used accurately.)

　Still, remember the dim memories and give the following instructions.

"Grilled meat... 7:3? No, for now, half at a time. I'd like a light seasoning with salt and pepper. Also, if there's anything to remove the smell of meat, you can put it in... well, let's do it later when we improve it ourselves, anyway. Oh, and put some eggs in it and knead it. until it gets used to the meat."

　Add stir-fried onions, breadcrumbs, ground meat, eggs, salt and pepper, and the cook kneads the meat.
　Stir it until it gets used to the meat, gather it into the palm size, depress the center small, and pour it into an oiled frying pan.
　Bake both sides over a high heat, lower the heat, cover the pan and steam.
　for a few minutes People around here believe in the chef's intuition rather than Ray's.
　Originally, it would be nice if there were demi-glace sauces, but it is impossible to make demi-glace sauces for Ray, who only had experience in cooking when he was in elementary school. So this time, we will divert the skewer sauce served in the restaurant of the inn.
　However, the sauce itself is extremely laborious, and it has a taste that cannot be made in that area.
　At any rate, I managed to lay the finished hamburger in front of the chefs."

"This dish is called a hamburger. Try it."

　Following Ray's words, Maxim, who is also in charge of the occasion, first reaches out his fork and knife to the plate-mounted hamburger.
　The outside is well baked and hardened, so the texture of a hamburger with a knife is similar to steak.
　When the surface is cut, the juices flow out of the meat, which is cooked fluffy and tender, thanks to steaming.
　Still, the amount of gravy was not as much as Ray had expected, probably because the meat used to make hamburgers was a rare part of the meat, such as fillet. 　
　But it was unexpected for Ray that, instead of having less gravy, the fin was smashed into small pieces and steamed, making it feel more fluffy than a regular hamburger.
　Maxim puts only hamburgers in his mouth without sauce first.
　Enjoy the hamburger slowly, attracting the attention of the other chefs around you.
　a savory and crunchy part of a surface that has been burned thoroughly And the very soft part around the fin. They used beef and pork, but eggs, onions, and breadcrumbs used two different kinds of meat, but they didn't fight each other's tastes, and they rather raised each other's spirits.

"Well, this is quite..."

　It feels like I'm eating meat, but it's still different from steak. Even so, I can fully enjoy the fleshy feeling.
　The other chefs around him were surprised by Maxim's words.
　Since he is in charge of the kitchen of the inn, Maxim is strict with himself, but he also asks others to do it.
　At the occasional presentation of new dishes, people here were repeatedly harshly spoken.
　The Maxim said compliments without expressing his dissatisfaction. That alone is nothing but a surprise to the chefs around us.
　Maxim's most acceptable remark was based solely on the opinion of Ray, an amateur cook. If other cooks had served the same dish, they would have ruined countless things, from how they cut the ingredients to how they seasoned it, to how they mixed the meat, to how they shaped it, to how they baked it, to how they turned it upside down.

"You should try it, too." I understand why I was surprised."

　Maxim tells us so, and the other cooks also point their forks and knives at the plate on which the hamburger is placed.
　At first, just like Maxim, just hamburgers without sauce.
　Ray learned from it and ate hamburger, but felt something was missing.
　Hamburg, after all, for Ray, is something that comes out of a lot of gravy when it's cut out.
　But Ray is the only one who knows the hamburger. The hamburger that the other cooks know will be the first hamburger they eat.

"Well, this is quite..."
"You can taste the flavor of meat, but it's cut into small pieces once, so even people with weak jaws and teeth can eat it."
"But the sauce..."
"That can't be helped," In the first place, this sauce was for skewers, and um... did you call it a hamburger? It wasn't made to go with this dish.""Personally, I think the sour sauce made from strawberries would go well with..."
"Really? I think I'd like to have a stronger and stronger sauce."
"Well, for my part, I'd rather have no sauce." Instead, it's like seasoning it thoroughly."
"Hamburg itself is good. But what to do with the garnish? As long as the hamburger is meat, is it vegetables? Vegetables that go well with the hamburger... potatoes?"
"Isn't it too much to be full with a hamburger? I think it's better to have something more refreshing to cleanse your mouth."
"What about raw leafy vegetables?"
"Then all we have to do is serve the salad?"

　There are a lot of opinions, but basically Ray breathes a sigh of relief when he hears everyone say positive things.
　I taught them with confidence, but if they said it was bad, I had to teach them new dishes again.
　Ray's eyes turn to Maxim, and they stare at each other, perhaps Maxim himself was looking at him.
　It was Ray who eventually broke the silence.

"This hamburger can be used in a variety of dishes. For example, a hamburger stewed in stew, or a hamburger eaten with leafy vegetables or tomatoes in a round bread. Also, the recipe of the hamburger itself is the same as the one I remembered in the book before, so I think there is room for improvement. Please complete this hamburger dish as a specialty of the everlasting Kutei."
"... well, it goes without saying. I've certainly seen how to make it according to your instructions, but I've seen that there's room for improvement. It's a choice of meat, isn't it? It was certainly delicious even in this lean part, but perhaps they would use the greasy part."

　Rey nods in spite of Maxim's words.
　I just tasted it and didn't expect to see a hamburger the way Ray thought.

"That's right. When you cut a hamburger, you get a lot of gravy…" "However, I think this is good enough, and I think it will appeal to customers who don't like the strong taste." And..."

　a muttering bowl on the table More accurately, look at the hamburger seeds in the ball and continue.

"As for meat, I used pigs and cows this time, but I think monsters will make it even better. It goes without saying that if it comes to the meat of a high-ranked monster, it's very delicious because of its magical powers."
"Oh, that's what I had in mind. Fortunately, Yukitei is famous for many things, so you can't even get the meat of a high-ranked monster. ...but it's also true that there are many difficulties when it comes to regularity. If you make a mistake, the meat will lose its taste. Instead of pigs, oaks, cows... there must have been a cow-shaped monster about a week from the imperial capital. Shall we order it and make some hamburgers? First of all, I'd like to increase the proportion of meat to oak -- no, considering the quality of the lanceble."

　You must have got an image right away. Maxim muttered something and reached out to the nearby ingredients, sliced the mushrooms in his hand and began to bake them with butter.
　The other chefs watching Maxim smile a little bitterly.
　The appearance meant that this scene was not uncommon.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ray," If that happens, your parents will continue cooking with all their might until they are satisfied."

　The person who approached Ray was a man in his thirties with a good expression on his face, assisting Maxim.
　I'm the second best person in this kitchen.

"No, I'm glad my knowledge is of use. Besides, he said he wanted a lot of food, too."
"HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahYeah. I envy you that the ingredients won't go bad. ... well, it's good or bad that you can't mature or anything like that. Anyway, I've got a rough idea of the recipe, so it's all right here. Thank you very much."

　Tell him so and hand him a tart with colored fruit.
　When Ray receives the tart, he leaves the dining room thanking him briefly.





　In addition, the so-called tsukune is made from the hamburger recipe spread from the inn of eternity, and the udon noodles that were introduced to guillem are combined to make tsukune udon, but that is only a while away.
