Chapter 275


New Bread


“Ah, right . We have to make a new bread!”

“”New bread?””


Allen and Elena looked up at me curiously when I mentioned what I suddenly remembered .


“Yeah . A cream bread mixed with chocolate or a side dish bread… erm, I would like to increase the variety of breads to eat in place of rice . ”


“”Wanna eat!””


“You can’t eat it unless we make it first . ”


“”Will make!””


I would also like to make white bean paste, sweet potato paste bread, and also Ishiuri (pumpkin) bread with red bean paste~


“Oh my, you are talking about something interesting?”


“Ah, Rebecca-san . ”


We were relaxing in the lounge of the Ruven house when Rebecca-san arrived .


“Then, shall we go to the bakery in the afternoon?”


Rebecca-san’s actions were so quick that a messenger was immediately sent to by her .


After finishing lunch, we came to a bakery, not the one near the Adventurer’s Guild, where we had been before, but near the Ruven residence . Apparently, Rebecca-san was backing up several stores .


“Shopkeeper, excuse us for coming over so suddenly . ”


“No, you needn’t worry about that! Uh, Madam? Who might these people be?”


“They are ones I consider my child and grandchildren . By the way, he is the one who invented the recipe for the bread I provided you, Tak.u.mi-san is his name . ”


“My goodness!”


Hearing Rebecca-san’s words, the shopkeeper, a middle-aged man, widened his eyes and turned to look at me .


“Tak.u.mi-san, he’s this store’s owner . ”


“My name is Horus! It’s an honor to meet you!”

“H, h.e.l.lo, I’m Tak.u.mi . These children are——”


“I’m Allen . ”


“I’m Elena . ”


“My younger siblings . I wanted to make a new bread today… please pardon the sudden visit . ”


“It’s an honor to be involved in the making of a new bread!”


When he heard about the new bread, the bakery shopkeeper’s——Horus-san’s eyes lit up .


I’ve already gotten used to this kind of reaction from chefs when they see a new dish or artisans when they see a rare ingredient in front of them .


“First of all, about the bread the dough——”


“I have plenty of it prepared!”


“Ah, is that so? Thank you very much . ”


Rebecca-san didn’t seem to have told him that we were coming, but she did tell him to prepare the dough .


I mean, Horus-san, was so full of motivation~


“Then, let’s start from the cream?”


“”Oh~!””


“I will a.s.sist you!”


I’ve already made the white bean paste and sweet potato paste, so let’s make the custard cream with chocolate and Ishiuri .


Horus-san and the kids were fully motivated, so they helped me to make it quickly .


“So this is cream mixed with chocolate, I see . It looks delicious~”


“”Looks delicious~””


Rebecca-san had been only observing, but after I cooled the chocolate cream with magic, she came up to me with the children .


“Would you like to taste it?”


“Fufu, I would love to . ”


“”Will taste it~””


“Please!”


I thought she was looking forward to tasting it, so when I asked her, Rebecca-san smiled at me . Of course, Allen, Elena and Horus-san also joined the fray .


“”Delish~””


“Tak.u.mi-san, this is very delicious~”


“This is incredible!”


The four of them quickly scooped up the cream with their spoons and smiled as they ate it .


“Chocolate is, if I’m not mistaken… made from Kaoka beans, right?”


“Yes, that’s correct . But, Kaoka beans don’t seem to be sold that much at the market . ”


“There are not many people who know it can be transformed to something this good, after all . ”


… Transformed, she said . Rebecca-san, the way you said it, is so…!


“I did ask the Fiji Company to let me know when they secured more, but… there has been no word from then since . ”


I made the request, but they had not contacted me about it yet .


“It won’t become easily available unless the demand increases, right?”


“Indeed . Moreover, they apparently collected it in a dungeon . ”


Adventurers don’t bring things back from the dungeons that they can’t sell, so if we keep quiet about it, it might not become available for a long time . Oh, that reminds me, I didn’t even ask which dungeon in Creta it was found in!


I forgot to look for the Kaoka beans even though we went to Creta!


“Oh my, it’s from a dungeon? We should create a request sooner rather than later then . ”


“”Request~?””

“Request, you mean at the Adventurer’s Guild?”


“That’s right . Depending on the rank of the dungeon, it may be cheaper to send a request to the Adventurer’s Guild and have them secure the harvest for us . ”


“””Heeh~”””


The request fees for dungeon goods from lower-level dungeons aren’t apparently that high .


I’m not sure why Allen and Elena have the same reaction as me, but I doubt they understand .


“Rebecca-san, if you want Kaoka beans I can let you have what I have on me, you know?”


“Oh my, you won’t be able to get any sales then . We have to secure a stable route for the flow of ingredients . Or, you know what? Do you not want this cream to ever lift off the ground?”


“Nono, nothing like that… there’s no need for that . If the ingredients can be secured then I have no problem with selling it . Rather, being able to buy this anytime I want would make me happier . ”


“Fufu, then you won’t mind if I take care of it?”


“Not at all, please do your best . ”


I don’t mind making things myself, but it’s always better to be able to buy them when you want them .


It looks like Rebecca-san will be taking care of all the details, so I won’t have to do anything . I guess I’ll have to agree then!


“But before that, let’s make the bread . ”


“That’s true . I’d like to eat the finished product as soon as possible . ”


“”Wanna eat~””


“Me too!”


Putting aside the topic of selling for the moment, I wrapped the cream and bean paste in the dough to complete the bread .


“”It’s done~””


“All that’s left is the final fermentation and baking . ”


“Indeed . However… have I prepared too much dough, perhaps?”


When I finished wrapping the cream and bean paste in the dough, there was a lot of dough still left .


“Nono, there are many other things I would love to make, so it’s okay!”


“Is that so?”


I wonder what I should make~ Oh, I can easily make cheese bread by mixing cubes of hard cheese . Fortunately, I have cheese!


“Oh my, is that cheese?”


“Yes, it is . We cut it into small pieces…”


Then I flattened the bread dough into an oval shape and sprinkled the cut cheese on it . Then I rolled it up .


“Like this . Allen, Elena, help me out please . ”


“”Okay~””


I showed them how to do it, and asked Allen and Elena to help me with the rest .


“Oh, we might as well roll it with cut bacon pieces . ”


“”Let’s do that~””


“Would black pepper be good as well?”


“”That too~””


In addition to the cheese bread, I decided to make cheese and bacon, and also cheese and walnut bread .


I wanted to make cheese and corn too, but unfortunately, I didn’t have any fresh corn, so I gave up .


“Alright, all that’s left is to bake them . ”


“”Looking forward to it~””


The baked loaves of bread all turned out well and were very well received .


Therefore, we decided to start to sell all the loaves of bread .
