69 – Whoops.. It’s Amelia’s heart pounding cooking time right now?
That night.
While Hyunjin was listening to Ed’s advice, Amelia made up her mind.
She never intends to lose to Ayako.
So, Rachel, her maids, and even the chef were all called and started cooking.
“Quite difficult, but fun. This might be okay…… “
Amelia muttered to herself, but the servants watching the process fell into anxiety.
In hindsight, the users guessed who was the cause of this situation.
‘Are you also Hyunjin Merchant?’
‘Maybe so.’
‘Wasn’t he originally a different man?’
‘Why, Natsuki? … ‘
The servants whispered to each other and talked. Whoever it was, the current situation was not a very pleasant situation.
“Rachel?”
At Amelia’s call, Rachel stepped aside and said,
“You can tell me the recipe. I’ll ask the chef and the other maids for a tasting.”
At Amelia’s command, Rachel didn’t show it, but she was glad inside.
Because I saw right through Hyunjin’s expression the other day when he ate Amelia’s food.
On the other hand, the servants were in a confused situation.
Among them, the chef thought. A lady who has never cooked properly is cooking!
It would be nice to inform you properly.
While thinking about that, she was watching Amelia with a satisfied expression.
“Now, shall we start with simple cooking?”
“All right, lady. First, the fish is boned like this…… “
“Whoa, whoa. That’s how it is.”
Rachel was great at teaching, but she was also great at learning from Amelia.
All of the employees who were anxious about how well they were doing started to feel relieved.
“You are doing well, lady.”
“Sure! Who do you think I am?”
“A lady from the prestigious Lionheart family.”
Amelia laughed out loud at Rachel’s words.
“Oh~ ho ho ho! Of course, cooking is simple once you learn it!”
He was very proficient in handling the ingredients.
As far as I can tell, it’s limited to the material handling.
But then came the problem.
“A spoonful of salt here…… “
“A spoonful of salt? Could it produce a pungent taste?”
Contrary to Rachel’s advice, the liver was taken by eye. They started tossing it at random without even looking at the liver in a way that seemed comfortable.
The servants in the hall began to tremble at what Amelia was doing.
He was obviously good at grooming, but seasoning was difficult for a beginner to see.
Who wouldn’t be afraid to see with their own eyes the typical way food goes bankrupt?
How much more do you have to shove such a ruined dish into your mouth!
“It would be better to preserve the sweet taste here. Eight…… !”
I beat about twice the amount of sugar than the amount of salt I put in the fish I just trimmed.
“Oh, grilled fish is delicious, right?”
Amelia quickly turned to Rachel and asked.
“Yes, I am.”
“Then, let’s change it to grilling instead of simmering as planned. You can pour a lot of oil on it.”
“Oh, miss? Wait, it…… !”
Before Rachel could finish, Amelia quickly started pouring oil into the frying pan.
“Now then, shall we finish the seasoning? Umm…… “
As Amelia took her contemplative pose, she remembered a dish she had eaten.
‘Fish and chips also taste better when you sprinkle them with lemon juice.’
The same should be true for grilling.
Thought so, Amelia squeezed the lemon juice with one hand.
Rachel said, until Amelia holds the lemon, she won’t squeeze it with her bare hands…… She had the same complacency.
But she could not help but doubt her eyes as she drizzled lemon juice over the fish fillet.
‘In the world, what is this?’
She saw Amelia the other day, but Rachel felt distraught at the sight of Amelia trying a recipe that defies her prediction.
“I put this amount of soy sauce here.”
Cheoljjoljjol… ….
It has been a long time since the fish meat, which was white and fresh, was covered with soy sauce.
“You can add a little red pepper powder to give it a spicy taste.”
It was not a situation where anyone could stop Amelia. She
She put the ingredients in at the same time as she said her words, because she didn’t even give me a chance to point out that it was the wrong way to cook.
“Come to think of it, cooking wine removes the fishy smell, right?”
Amelia starts pouring her cooking wine over the fish flesh while asking that question.
If this is the case, why the hell did you ask?
“But that’s why you can’t call it a fish dish. Would you like a little oyster sauce to bring out the deep sea flavor?”
Amelia starts pouring on the seasoning next to her all at once.
“Well, I think the liver would be too strong.”
Muttering that, Amelia sprinkled water and herbal spices on the seasoned fish fillets.
If Hyunjin saw this situation, wouldn’t she have said something like ‘Are you playing around with the food, young lady?’
At first, she was going to stew the fish fillets she had peeled.
Until she changed to grilling while looking at the fish fillets that were freed up.
“If it is this, I think the person who eats it will enjoy it too!”
While saying that, Amelia carefully dropped the fish meat into the heated pan.
Fortunately, the oil did not splatter as the fish meat went down into the frying pan.
Because it hasn’t even been heated yet.
“Ummm…… According to the recipe, the point of grilled fish is to grill it well from the front and back.”
“My lady?”
“Huh? What’s up, Rachel?”
“I, that…… Maybe you seasoned it a little too much.”
Rachel looked at the servants next to her and Amelia and opened her mouth.
“Are you saying you don’t believe in my cooking skills? Even this recipe is on the internet! A recipe personally inspected by a Japanese chef?”
Rachel was speechless at Amelia’s overbearing attitude.
When Rachel looked at the servants who were trembling next to her with a sad expression, they looked like they were about to burst into tears at any moment.
“If you do this…… It’s done!”
Amelia turned off the stove, wiping her sweat.
The finished dish seemed to have no problem at all. It wasn’t raw, and it didn’t feel burnt.
Yeah, maybe we’re overly biased.
All the servants made that decision.
The amount of seasoning seemed to be roughly the same, so wouldn’t it be good to look forward to the taste?
“There are a lot of them, so I tried a little bit. Give it a try. Oh~hoho!!”
The servants did not have the confidence to reject Amelia’s words.
Yes, just in case.
I put in as many fish fillets as I did and boiled it, but it didn’t feel burnt or undercooked, so it might have turned out well unexpectedly.
Amelia began to carefully plate the dishes one by one on the prepared dish.
‘Uh…… ‘
‘Looks surprisingly delicious?’
‘Yes, because the young lady did a good job with her grooming…… ‘
‘Maybe it will be okay?’
Employees had such hopeful thoughts.
“Now I understand why the chef cooks. It was pretty fun. Oh ho ho!”
Amelia’s laughter made the servants fall into anxiety again, but they decided to believe it.
I began to pick up fish fillets that I couldn’t even tell whether they were boiled or grilled with chopsticks and put them into my mouth one by one.
The moment the servants put the blackened fish meat in their mouths and started chewing it.
‘Huh?’
‘Unexpectedly, it’s okay…… All?’
Everyone was like that.
Of course, that was the point when considering only the first taste.
‘It’s so sweet that it melts your tongue!!!’
‘I don’t even know how salty it tastes!’
‘Spicy! Fire, fire comes out of my mouth!!!’
‘Kwaaah, what the hell is this…… ??’
‘It’s too acidic! It’s sour and my tongue is going to go numb!!’
Unable to speak out the words that were in their heads, the servants fell to the side without being able to contain their screams.
“How are you?”
Amelia was taken aback when she saw the fallen servants around her.
Rachel saw that and thought.
At all costs she must avoid Amelia’s home-cooked meals.
“Hmm, what is going on? She suddenly fell asleep…… “
“…… I’m not sure either.”
She couldn’t have been more disappointed with Amelia’s expression, but Rachel didn’t point out what was wrong with her.
“I think I fell asleep because it was delicious.”
“Aha, you might think so! Surely…… When you feel full, hunger usually follows.”
Amelia somehow agreed with Rachel’s words.
Among the servants who were lying down, only the chef had her arms raised and her thumbs up.
The chef thought while getting confused.
I’ll stop letting the lady into her kitchen at all costs.
She decided to withdraw from her idea of teaching cooking.
“Then, would you like to try Rachel too?”
When she had no one else to eat, Amelia invited Rachel, who was next to her.
Rachel, taken aback by Amelia’s words, quickly responded by shaking her hand.
“Oh no! It’s okay. Because I already ate…… !”
“Umm, is that so?”
“Yes! Well, I have back work, so excuse me first, lady!”
“Rachel, hold on!”
Rachel was called by Amelia, but she ran away without knowing it.
She did, but she thought.
I have to inform Ed about the situation. For the time being, the maids will need stability.
Thinking so, Rachel left her kitchen quickly, shuddering in her fear, while watching her miserable situation.
