The Third Prince Want a Slow Live

Soybeans are great.

 They can be transformed into anything as long as they are processed.

They ate so rich in protein that they are called the meat of the farmers.

Bean sprouts, tofu and fried tofu, soybean flour and natto... And the soy sauce and miso that I have been craving are also made from it.

That's why I have no choice but to make it.

Yes—bean sprouts!  (crisp)

…… Yes, you didn't read wrong!

I mean, calm down and think about it.

I don't know how much it would cost to make soy sauce or miso from scratch, no matter how hard I work.

Soybean flour is meaningless without bean paste, and natto is meaningless without soy sauce and rice.

I still have a long way to go to achieve the once-popular greatest combo  (in my mind) NTKG natto egg over rice.

Tofu and aburaage ……Yeah, they are also troublesome.

 In that case, edamame and sprouts are the best.

 Edamame just need to be boiled and eaten with salt.

And for bean sprouts there are many ways to cook them. 

 Whether boiled or baked, it is nutritious and delicious.

If the seasoning is enriched, the range will expand, so bean sprouts are still the most appropriate for now.

 "...Sirius-sama, are you going to eat that?"

 "It's delicious when cooked."

Cecil, who watched the growth of the bean sprouts together with me , was puzzled by the food called bean sprouts, but the reality is that even bean sprouts are not cultivated in this world.

Well, food culture should develop soon.

I don't think it will reach the level of Japan while I'm still alive, but... if the food culture is properly passed down, it will probably shine with the future generations.

"... With how they are looking"

 “But it’s delicious.

 "... can you see it?"

"Maybe..."

 Cecil's impression of the grown bean sprouts was harsh, but that impression changed when I actually cooked it and she ate it.

"...Yeah, it's delicious."

 "Actually, I want a little more seasoning."

 "... Sirius-sama, why are you so knowledgeable about food?"

 ... come to think of it, why?

 Originally, in my first previous life, I was supposed to be in charge of service at the inn.

Even so, I get up at 4:00 in the morning, help prepare the food, prepare meals for the employees, handle the front desk duties, and then return to my original job.

From there, he went around all the departments and helped prepare and cook most of the dishes.

 The work is over... but when I think about it, it was actually not the case.

My precious sleep time also disappeared due to the necessary study, such as preparing for tomorrow, memorizing recipes for employees' selfish requests for meals.

…… So when you think about it now, isn’t this strange?

 Rather, I did respect those who don't die from this.

By the way, other employees could leave on time.

 …… Isn’t it funny?

I mean, they were forcing their work on me to go home, right?

How many times did I feel like my heart was going to break while doing things like washing the dishes for hundreds of servings by myself.

What was especially terrible was the backs of those who left without hesitation and without cleaning up after the president announced to all the employees, ``Everyone, let's leaves the work to ○○-kun and go drinking.''

 Working at an inn is teamwork!  ……is what a good guy who resigned said, but I was really envious of the refreshing look when he resigned.

No... When I remember the past, I turn blue.

That is a story of the past.

 Look forward, Sirius.

 "Hmm, I just thought it"

 "... Yes, Sirius-sama is a genius."

There's no way I could tell my cute fiancée about my bitter past experiences, so I tried to deceive her, but Cecil honestly agreed.

I'm sorry if I sound like I'm lying, but... it's fine if only me and Goddess-sama know about this.

 I don't want them to carry this burden

If I put it like that, it might sound cool,

 but it's hard to believe that I used to be a slave in another world, and even if they believe me, I don't want to worry them.

Everyone is kind.

 "...Sirius-sama, teach me various dishes."

 "Okay, but...why?"

 "... To make it for Sirius-sama later."

I see. an homemade dish full of love?

 It sounds much tastier than what I make on a whim.

"... Besides, I don't want to be behind Philia-sama."

 Philia is also learning to cook under my guidance.

Since she's going to be a Duchess, she probably won't get the chance to make one, but she says she'd like to try it herself, so I am teaching her.

As a result, she's a very good cook, and if I don't get better at it, she might become a better cook than I am.

She's cute and can do a lot of things...it's a waste to tie her up to me, but I have no intention of handing her over to someone else.

 She is my precious person.

“I understand.

 "…… I will work hard"

 Naturally, there was no way that my mother didn't know that the bean sprouts had been made in this way, and after a while the bean sprout production began in earnest.
