Labyrinth Restaurant

"Oh."

"Hmm? Alice, did you find anything?

Earlier that morning, Alice and the Demon King stopped in front of an outdoor shop dealing with vegetables as the walk peered into the market. The season is about time I could feel the signs of summer. It's still a little early for seasonal serving, but vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and bell peppers line up narrowly. Especially eggplants and the like are packed with fruit and just looking at them seems to convey the luminosity of the pulp.

The ingredients used in the store can be delivered every morning by vendors on the Demon Side even if they don't bother purchasing them in the market, but this is still how I see good ingredients straight away, which stimulates my willingness to buy and my appetite. The two people who loosened their purse strings bought the vegetables on their eyes from one end, thinking later about whether to serve them in the store.

Having literally bought enough vegetables to sell, they decided to cook them and sell them because they couldn't eat them alone. Significantly lacking in planning, but now more about it. Once you have ingredients that you didn't use up, you will be able to use them up without any problems by hemming them into a friend acquaintance or Demon King's Castle cafeteria.

"Baked eggplant, tempura, hemp woman eggplant... Pickles are pickled in a bran... fried and dipped in a ginger-effected baked dip... Ah, a tomato stew would be nice too. It's getting hot these days, and how about a cold ratatouille with garlic?

"Nice. So let's just run out of eggplant for the day."

There are a variety of vegetables I have bought, but there were a lot of eggplant in particular.

There is not only one type, but also elongated, round, large but small and varied.

Eggplant is an honorary student of ingredients.

Whether boiled or baked, fried or soaked, or most other cooking methods, they are delicious unless you use them poorly. I also say it cools your body down when you eat it, but this is an early summer sweaty cheer. Eggplant dishes will be great to cool off.

Honestly, I wasn't thinking that far at the time I bought it, but both Demon King and Alice were totally into it.

For today's daily fixing meal, the onions mixed with chopped onions and spices in the ground meat of beef and pork are sandwiched in thinly sliced eggplant and fried with bread flour clothing. Tane just diverted the stuff he uses for his mench cutlets, so it doesn't take that much effort.

Apart from the main pinched fried, cold ratatouille with tomato base. The flavors of garlic and olive oil work, and it's a dish of lots of ingredients with zucchini, peppers, paprika, and eggplant. The truth is that the flavor is more tame and delicious when I let it sleep for about one night after I've planted it, but even if it's ready, that's not bad. Looks like you can shake a little Tabasco if you like.

"Do you want something else? Alice, do you want something to eat?

"That's right...... oh, I, I want some grilled eggplant"

"Nice. Okay, so."

What an appropriate extreme, public and private confusion is also a bad decision, but if it tastes good, nothing is wrong. At least there's no sin in grilled eggplant.

Grilled and peeled eggplant.

Serve there with grated ginger and a little soy sauce.

You can scatter the shards if you like.

I can already be sure this will be absolutely delicious before I eat it......

"Tasting is important."

"Yeah, it's important."

"Whoa, this shouldn't happen. You're gonna want beer in the morning."

Because of my appetite being stimulated while we were discussing it, the two of them started pounding their tongues on grilled eggplant in the name of tasting even though they were in the middle of preparing to open the store. Sure, it's necessary to check the taste before offering it to customers, but you won't need to eat two or three per person.

I don't usually (much) lose my appetite this way, but this is the magic of seasonal ingredients...... no, it must be because of its charm. Though it wasn't until I started drinking in the morning to the boulders.

"Demon King, let's have a drink today after the shop is over."

"Yeah, you're looking forward to it. Well, then, it's time to get ready."

"Yes."

After all, the tasting I just had didn't seem to be part of my preparations to open the store.

Well, aside from that, if the fun were to wait later, there would be even more heat in the job. Both Alice and the Demon King were in a very good mood to get to work on each one.
