571 569 Food and Learning Reform (2/2)
What we created was a curry marvo with less spices and more pepper. This country, in fact, has cheap access to various peppers. Anyway, it's native there.
But the Noritz didn't think of it as something they could use for curry. It would be a difference in thought. I didn't think that cheap peppers, which I use in large quantities from time to time, would replace high-end spices. The smell is quite different.
I laid eyes on it and arranged a curry-style dish resembling Marvo, flavoured with pepper, soy sauce and sugar, which originally existed in the land. I tried to strive for a taste where spiciness became a habit that was different from curry.
At cost, it's no different than before, but it's a recipe that we at Cooking Skills Canst really thought about. Moreover, there was an unprecedented novelty in using even a few spices from abroad. The students will be pleased.
”If you change the flavoring and trout slightly, you can even put it in a steamed bread or pinch it in a rolled bread”
”I see! And you can change as many utensils as you want! This guy's been taught some good stuff!
Besides this, I'll also teach you how to arrange curry fried rice and other existing dishes. Noritz's arm would improve the taste of learning food now more than ever.
”Thanks. Now I can feed the kids a delicious meal. So, thank you...”
”Hmm? I don't need anything else”
Fran declines the gratuity. Well, this means an apology for making half of it noisy, because it's for other students.
Besides, I've seen Noritz make tearful efforts to keep the cost of materials down. Now if I get a recipe gratuity or something like that, I'll also lose the point of teaching you a recipe to make it cheap because of it.
When I told him that, Noritz said he couldn't take it for free, he would pay for it on his own stomach.
And as a result of a short discussion, he settled on having the College write a referral for a chamber of commerce that had a deal with him. For the future, I wanted a lot of peppers. Just fine.
That's how it was us finishing the job with school food, where we fulfill an unexpected encounter. That was when I was headed for the exit in an attempt to stay behind the school meal.
……
That was a brown-haired boy who still looked about 3 or 4 years old. How excited he was to eat, the boy who smiles and rushes into the dining room stops moving the moment he sees Fran.
……
Fran and the boy staring at each other. Flipping from a smile, the boy is staring at Fran. In his eyes was a strong anger and a slight fright. I don't remember being able to turn such a gaze on a boy like this - you had it.
As we stared at each other for about a few seconds, the woman we were with gently touched the boy's shoulder.
”Romeo, stopping here is a nuisance to others.”
”... oh, sorry”
”Shall we go? Right?”
”Yeah.”
Suddenly, a woman looks sorry and bows her head. Boy - Romeo keeps staring at this one. I guess he's a caretaker.
”I knew that was Romeo.”
……
”Fran? Don't Care Too Much”
(those eyes...... I think I've seen them somewhere)
”Huh? You mean Romeo?
”Mmm.”
I thought Romeo was staring at me and I was depressed, and he seemed concerned about something different.
”Can't you remember where?
”Mmm...”
We're new to Romeo. Did the hostility and frightened caged eyes against this one overlap with the opponent you once fought against?
”Where...?
