39 03 Huuta is doing it as a peep! (1/2)

Richter L. Klingbloom had just come up to the castle after finishing his own business. He needed to exchange information with some noblemen, and he also had a scroll to hand over to the minister.

The Lord Treasurer is a very busy man.

Although he will finally be able to take a break this evening, he still has a lot of work to do tomorrow.

The amount of work he can get done this afternoon is crucial for him to be able to rest tonight.

And yet...

”Sorry, Mr. Klingbloom. ......

”Hmm. Get back to work. I'll do the rest.

When I saw the servants peering cautiously into a room from outside, I couldn't ignore them.

When I called out to them, they told me that a nobleman was inside and they didn't know what to do.

He could not be so heartless as to turn a blind eye to the cries of the castle servants.

He had no choice but to send them away and stepped into the kitchen to see the face of the nobleman.

And then.

He said, ”You can use a spoon of any size for spices, but for fire, it depends not only on the amount of wood, but also on the shape and the way it is put together. You have to think about each of these things individually. ...... Wait a minute. Is it possible that the taste of the sauce will change if you mix it before or after the fire?　Oh my god, there's so much to try. Can I do this in ten days? No, I'll do it. Corona gave me ten days to believe that I could do it in that amount of time. I'll do it, I'll do it. I'll do it.

...... What the hell are you doing?

A man with a scroll spread out on the kitchen table is cooking something, taking notes as he goes.

He was tall and thin, and his apron looked oddly good on him.

He looked as if he was about to start a cooking class.

”Hey, Mr. Richter. Why are you in the servants' kitchen?

”That's my question. You seemed to be curious about the servants.

What? ...... Did I interrupt you? Well, ......, I'm sorry.

There's more than one kitchen. I'm sure your work won't be interrupted if you occupy one of them, but ...... at least tell him.

Oh, yeah. All right. I'll do that next time.

Ignoring Huta's nod, Richter looked around.

”Why are you wielding a cookware instead of a sword at ......?

It's no different from training.

No, it's not.

No, it's not.” ”You're talking nonsense with a fresh face.

Richter looked at him with a sigh.

I can't see His Highness's guest imitating a chamberlain.

The notes in Futa's hand were filled with spice amounts and his comments on them.

Richter was not so poor as to think of the ingredients as a waste of time, but his disgust at the earnest man in front of him was growing.

I just wanted to say thank you.

”...... for what?

What are you talking about?” Richter raised one eyebrow.

”Yeah. You see, I don't make a lot of money, so I thought I'd show my appreciation in this way.

The target is probably Corona and Lilac.

I could understand Futa's feelings.

That maid was annoying as hell, but she was certainly worthy of Futa's gratitude. Richter himself could imagine that the future would have been different if Corona had not been there when he had forced Futa to choose.

So, thank you.

It makes sense. It was simply not in Richter's mind that a special guest of his would do the same thing as a chambermaid.

”Show your appreciation by making your own food instead of buying it from .......

”Mr. Richter?

It's a great way to show your appreciation for what you do.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

Richter opened his mouth, as if he had nothing to hide.

No, it's a little more than just rewarding your people.

House Klingbloom is in charge of the city's finances.

They have a monopoly on technology, along with their own civil servants.

No one has ever complained about the high remuneration, which also serves to keep their mouths shut, and no one has ever betrayed them since Richter came to the top.

But it is also true that Richter has never offered anything more than words of appreciation.

”It is not proper for the Lord Treasurer of ...... to give money or goods. I see your point. The means of serving something is ...... parties are not only for the nobility .......

A party is a social event for the aristocracy, and an opportunity to gather information.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing.

Futa stood up and said to Richter, who had a difficult look on his face.

”Sounds like a lot of financial work.

”Yeah, more than you can imagine.

You can't imagine how hard it is.
