s.h.i.+n’s request .
Receiving Head Chef’s information, I left the kitchen and went to my room .
Knowing that offals are actually being eaten is considered a good harvest for now .
All that’s left is the processing method…
Would my past life’s offal-handling experience be enough?
I have handled only already processed offals, so I have no choice but to give it a try while recalling what I saw on television and the internet .
“Oi, no, Ojou… sama . Can I talk to you for a little?”
“Eh?”
When I turned around because I was called from behind, s.h.i.+n was standing there .
“Oh my, what’s the matter?”
“Ah~… regarding the matter from before… no, however . ”
“Neither Head Chef nor Miria is here, you don’t have to mind your words now . ”
“No, I should not be doing that… I am working here, so I should act as necessary . ”
So diligent?
But well, unlike in the fief, the status of servants here reflect the status of the master, so it can’t be helped that everyone is this serious…
“… Got it . And so? What about the matter from before?”
Feeling uncomfortable talking with s.h.i.+n in this way, I waited for his words .
“You have asked me before why internal organs are not used for cooking, but you have not given up on that… yet?”
Ah, come to think of it, I did ask s.h.i.+n that once before . I have completely forgotten .
“That time, I have said that it’s being disposed off on purpose because offals are precious for those who can’t afford to buy meat . Their preparation takes time and effort, but it’s indeed edible . n.o.bles who easily get their hands on the high-cla.s.s meat don’t really have to eat the offals, right?… Forgive me, but that’s what I think . ”
“Ah…”
I see . s.h.i.+n did not tell me on purpose that time, huh .
Certainly, they are precious proteins for the poor commoners . If we, the n.o.bility, make the offals into gourmet food, they won’t have anything left to eat .
People would stop throwing away the offals .
However, according to Head Chef story, I got to know that the poor eat the offals .
There’s no way that s.h.i.+n who had a dismantling job in the Adventurer’s Guild in the past was not aware of this, so he purposely hid it from me .
“I beg of you . Please, give up on the offals . ”
s.h.i.+n said while lowering his head .
“Wha, s.h.i.+n…”
“My parents have pa.s.sed away when I was just a kid, so I might have been forced to eat like that too . Thankfully, I was lucky and was taken in by the guild, so I was not troubled about food, but I was aware that there are those who eat them . I do not wish to steal the food from the poor . ”
I was troubled what to say to s.h.i.+n who kept talking with his head lowered .
It certainly would be a problem if the ingredients I got my hands on would end up being stolen from the needy . No, if offal dishes get officially announced, they will certainly vanish from their dining tables .
But, I have already told Otousama about the sausage… what do I do? I am troubled .
“You have stored internal organs in your inventory before, so I was worried about what you are up to, but I thought you have given up since you did not ever use them . I will dismantle Orcs myself for you when Kurogane-sama brings them, so could you stop thinking of buying them from the guild?”
s.h.i.+n has completely forgotten the honorifics, but that doesn’t matter whatsoever now .
“… Before? Inventory?”
Stored…?
“Ahhhh!?”
“Eh? W, what!?”
Giving a sidelong glance to s.h.i.+n who was startled by my sudden yelling, I searched through my inventory .
… There it is . Internal organs .
When I had s.h.i.+n dismantle a Bighorn Bull before, I forgot that I stored it whole instead of disposing of it! One, long intestine!
… But, the Bighorn Bull’s intestine resembles its physique as it’s far thicker than a Boronian Sausage could ever be…
It’s not suitable for the first-time sausage making, isn’t it?
“… Ojou… sama? What is the… matter?”
s.h.i.+n looked at me nervously .
I have completely forgotten his presence after I screamed .
“Hey, s.h.i.+n?”
“O, ou . No, yes . What is the matter?”
“You are going to dismantle an Orc for me if I bring you one, right?”
“Hm? Well, yes…”
“Got it, thank you! Goodnight!”
“Eh? Wai, oy?”
Telling s.h.i.+n goodnight, I hurried back to my room .
