Chapter 223

I returned to my assigned guest room after the dinner and asked Miria to prepare a supper and tea. There, Otousama and Okaasama came over. As I thought~

「Would you like to eat something?」「Yes, please. Because I got used to eating your cooking, that was a little bit…」

Okaasama replied while sighing.I thought so…

I was already overwhelmed with salt, so I was worried about the menu and took out a potato salad sandwich in the end. I put carbohydrates temporarily aside as I was powerless before hunger. Just a little bit should be enough to make us feel satisfied. Let’s go with pickles as palette cleanser.

「Haa… this is what I’m talking about. It’s delicious…」「Umu. As expected, Cristea’s cooking is exquisite」

… Aren’t you acting too dotingly? I’m happy about that though~!

「However, I believe it wasn’t this bad in the past…」「Yes. I think the dishes weren’t this salty」「Is that so? I recall having something similar even at our home though…」

I tried recalling the meals before the return of my past life’s memories. Well, I think it wasn’t this salty, but…

「Umu. It wasn’t season as delicately as now」

Delicately…? Ahh, there was no culture of using dashi as seasoning after all…

「I heard that the meals of the nobility considerably improved… starting with the French toast, your recipes quickly spread around. I heard that when there are new recipes, the chefs immediately want to purchase them to study」

… When did something grand happen?

「… That’s my first time hearing about it」「Because I did not tell you」「… Otousama?」「… Sorry」

Good grief!

「The nobility’s meals have improved, but the commoners still…」

「No, all things considered, that seasoning was…」

A little bit cruel, wasn’t it?While talking about that, the town mayor came.

「I heard everyone is here after asking around… ahh, I’m truly sorry. As I thought, it didn’t suit your tastes…」

The town mayor hung his head down after seeing the sandwich on top of the table.

「Ah…! T, this is…」

Awawa, does he see us as gaudish now? Even though he was hospitable to us…

「No, it was to be expected. I’m truly sorry. I have told my wife to use less seasoning, but…」「… What do you mean?」

Otousama asked suspiciously.

Madam, I hope she will get better…
