Chapter 54

After Sei’s otoko no musume coming out(?), the days that Sei who came visiting in female clothes got angry at me for staring at him continued for a while. I mean, you know…? His feminity is higher than mine, you know…? Although it’s just a disguise, he wears a light make-up and his gestures are beautiful. Although his speech is old-fashioned and a bit suspicious, it’s apparently on purpose so that his male way of speech won’t come out.

I certainly wouldn’t notice by now if he didn’t tell me about it.

Against such feminine Sei, the only thing I can win in is cooking…? Is what I thought, but children from respectable families don’t really cook, or do they…? Ugh… I’m losing as a lady… Whie crushed by the reality I have just became aware of, I decided to make a certain thing before Sei arrived.

How to say this, I suddenly felt like eating it, junk food I mean.

Right, the alluring potato chips… in order to make that addictive article, I earnestly sliced potatoes thinly.

It also a measure against the potatoes that are soon to sprout. The cooking time… why did you carelessly buy so many potatoes! It couldn’t be helped, so I made a massive amount of potato salad yesterday… it received a favorable impressions, but I would like to avoid eating just a potato salad, so I had to plan the consumption of the large amount of potatoes.

What I used to make the slices is a slicer I requested Galvano Ojisama to make. It’s like an improvised version of a plane that’s used to work with wood, but it’s in the shape of a saucer and I have already received a grater-like thing, so I have it quite convenient. Will peelers sell if we make them too?

I’m going to make some friend potatoes since I have the opportunity and I’m carving them too. I will season them with salt and prepare herbs and spices for other flavors.

The oil temperature is at abound 180 degrees. Because there’s no thermometer, I use chopsticks I asked Shin to make to estimate the temperature by the bubbles that formed in the oil and put the sliced potatoes in.

Although I don’t have tallow to make the chips, I found a vegetable oil very similar to the olive oil, so I’m using that. I turn the chips over so they won’t burn and deep-fry one after another. After properly removing the oil, I sprinkle the chips with salt and herbs, and it’s complete! Ater that, I finished making the fried potatoes too. I garnish them with ketchup I made with the tomatoes from my personal vegetable garden.
