“Is there any good way to cook rye?”

 … or if there is a possibility to increase income, then we will have some leeway… “

 Grandpa Elvis frowned and was worried.

“By the way, I’d like to ask.”

 “What is it?”

 “There was a sale of wine that has been distilled…”  

“You mean brandy?”

 “Yes, what other liquor is there other than wine and brandy?”

“It’s roughly divided into these two. It seems that apples can also be used for brandy.”

“Other than that?” 

“There is none. Takeo, did you come up with something?”  

“Yes, I think I could make distilled liquor from rye and barley.”

 “Huh?”

Grandpa Elvis and Frederick froze again. 

“It’s called whiskey… Have you heard about it?”

“No, I don’t know.”

“I too don’t know.”

It seemed like they didn’t know. 

“…But if you have brandy, it seems like sooner or later someone will make it..”

“So, Takeo, how do you make it?”

“Eh? Do you want to make it? … Umm… As I recall… 

1. Dry the germinated wheat to make malt
2. Crush the malt and mix it with warm water to make it into a sticky state.
3. Filter this to make wort.
4. Add yeast to wort and ferment for about 3 days.
5. Distill the fermented product.
6. Put the distilled product in a barrel with the inside baked and store it for a long time.

 This is it. “

“What is yeast?”

“If I remember it correctly, it should be the same thing that you put in when raising the bread dough…”

“Do you mean yeast?”

Frederick asked while thinking.

“Maybe…

How about contacting the winery?

It may be made somewhere.”

“What kind of liquor will it be?”

“I don’t think it differs much from brandy.

 The smell and the taste are a matter of taste…

 I used to drink whiskey a lot, so I like whiskey. “

 “Well … It seems possible to make it as a processed rye product?”

 “Yes.

If the whiskey could be sold, it would be profitable for the northern towns and villages.

It is worth trying, and if the existing equipment can be used, it seems that a trial product will be available in a few years.

For the time being, I’ll ask the civil officer in the northern town to confirm.”

“Yes, the first thing to do is to confirm.”

 Frederick nodded to the words of Grandpa Elvis.

By the way … Alice was still playing with Mia.

On the other hand, Mia … she was tired out. 

————————————————————- 

Today as well, everyone left the parlor with the words of Grandpa Elvis, “It’s time to go to sleep?”, 

And Takeo and Alice also returned to their bedroom.

Takeo prepared the bath, and since Alice and Mia were in it, he was scribbling in his study.

An overview of the production method for whiskey and how to drink it.

Furthermore, Alan’s explanation and impression about the aristocrats of the Kingdom of Azupal last night, and about Nioh-sama. 

Also writing down the other things that came to his mind.  

There was a knock on the door of the bedroom side and Alice and Mia entered.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“Takeo-sama, we’re done with the bath.”

“Master, I’m back~”

“Yes, welcome back both of you.

Miss Alice, shall I dry your hair?”

“Yes.”

Everyone moved to the bedroom.

Takeo sits down Alice and lightly dried her hair.

“Takeo-sama, what should we do about Mia-chan’s bed?”

“That’s right… What does Mia want to do?”

“I can sleep anywhere.”

Mia didn’t seem to mind. 

“Miss Alice, are dollhouses being sold here?”

Takeo thought about a girl’s dollhouse from a certain toy maker.

“Hmm … My sisters had it… So I think it’s around?” 

Takeo was caught a little by Alice’s answer, but he decided to ignore it.

“Shall we go buy it tomorrow?

For today, Mia will sleep in my study.”

“I understand, Master.” 

“Eh? Are we not sleeping together?”

“… Whether it’s a person or a fairy, private space is important.

Won’t you get tired if you’re together from the beginning?  

It is also necessary to be able to zone out.”

Takeo was smiling as he said this but, in his heart, he also thought, “I have to prevent Mia from being crushed to death.”

“Is that so…”

 Alice said it while looking a little lonely… Takeo brought his face close to Alice’s ear. 

“Do you want to show Mia what we do at night?”

 In no time, Alice blushed. 

“Ah!… No!? … It’s not like that…”

 Alice started to fluster. 

“What did you say, Master? Alice-sama is panicking.”

 “Hmm? Are you curious?”

 “Yes.”

 “Then..”

 “You don’t have to explain it !!!”

 Alice hurriedly intervened in the conversation between Takeo and Mia, and she closed Takeo’s mouth with her hands … His nose was also closed. 

“Well… There’s nothing, you know? Mia-chan.”

 Alice looked at Mia and made it look right. 

… I can’t breathe…

Takeo fluttered to turn his face to the side, but Alice didn’t loosen her grip.

….He pushed back her hand with all his might. 

“… Fuh… Haaa… I couldn’t breathe.

 Miss Alice, it’s okay to close the mouth, but it’s dangerous to block the nose. “

 “… Because Takeo-same says unnecessary things.”

Alice protested with her eyes.

“Isn’t it kind to let them know what they want to know? “

“… It depends on the content.”

“She’s a fairy, you know? She should know?”

“Even so, you still don’t have to say it, right?”

“…Well, let’s be careful next time.”

“I hope you understand.”

Alice nodded in relief. 

Takeo muttered in his heart, “Next time… right?”

. .

. 

“Now, your hair is slightly dry, isn’t it?

I’m going to take a bath.”

“Yes, take care.”  

“Mia, let’s go to the study and make your bed.”

 “Yes, Master.

 Good night, Alice-sama. “

 “Mia-chan, good night.”

 Takeo and Mia left the bedroom.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
