Yingcao said, "Beans and rice are both delicious."
The white wolf beside him twitched its ears, as if it wanted to say something but then stopped itself.
She prefers to eat meat.
I'm so sorry...
The Demon Blade Princess appeared calm, but in her heart she was silently thinking, "Fried food."
"I love eating dishes that everyone puts their heart and soul into making!"
Kinnara also began to express his own opinions.
That's it.
What should have been a pleasant journey turned into a self-introduction of food preferences.
It's strangely funny.
Another quarter of an hour later.
Kyosuke Kosaka is busy with work.
This time, we are inspecting some short-term harvest crops, such as radishes and some melons.
Oh, and most importantly—corn.
"The corn was planted about a month ago and will be almost ripe soon..."
Kyosuke Kosaka was quite surprised by the growth cycle of this special corn.
Considering that these are different seeds after all, and that this era is also very mysterious, it is not impossible for Kyosuke Kousaka to understand.
“The growth cycle is about two months,” Jingzi said.
Her level of surprise was relatively low.
Because she knew that the growth cycle of corn is not long to begin with.
100 to 120 days, which is three to four months.
This special seed is planted in a special world environment, and then it only takes half the time of a normal seed. Isn't that reasonable?
If this were in the modern world, Shizuko would certainly not take it so seriously.
But this world is different~
"If we replaced all the crops with corn, wouldn't the harvest be many times greater?"
Kinnara had a sudden inspiration and immediately came up with what he thought was a good idea.
Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I have no problem with eating corn, but some people don't like it."
Eating rice is a privilege.
Do some of the people on the plantation, who have become a privileged class, prefer to eat more rice or the obscure corn?
Even with high corn yields, sometimes it still can't satisfy some people's psychological desires.
Kyosuke Kousaka understands this very well.
Just like during the chaos in Kyoto, when Kyosuke Kosaka and his relatives from the Hata clan dealt with demons together, they were all happy to be able to eat rice during such a special time.
If rice were replaced with corn, the level of happiness would probably be drastically reduced.
It's not about the taste, it's about everyone's psychological perception.
“Well,” Su Chang said, a little troubled, “I feel like something’s not right…”
Kinnara asked in confusion, "Something's not right?"
Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Just ask the people in the band."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Curious little Kinnara walked quickly in a certain direction.
"Lord Kyosuke, are you looking down on me?" Shizuko remarked as she watched Kinara walk away.
Kyosuke Kosaka said earnestly, "Don't talk nonsense. I've never looked down on Kinara!"
I didn't believe you when you put on that serious face.
Shizuko said silently.
“There are some things that don’t need to be known too much,” Kagura said.
She saw through Kyosuke Kousaka's thoughts at a glance.
In other words, they don't want Kinnara to know too much.
"Rice has become more of a special symbol; delving into it reveals a heavy topic."
"Yes, anyway, it's best to let Kyosuke-sama decide this~"
Su Chang knew how to abandon her own thinking and immediately passed the problem to Kousaka Kyosuke.
Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and said, "You're absolutely right. I'll figure out the complicated things myself, and if I can't figure it out, I'll discuss it with your sister, Kaori, and Noriko."
"Mmmmm~"
Su Chang nodded repeatedly, agreeing with this statement.
"Then let's check the radishes again, Kyosuke-sama. The radishes these days are all quite big."
Chitanda spoke up at the opportune moment to offer a reminder.
Kyosuke Kousaka held up one hand to Eru Chitanda: "As big as my hand?"
Yes!
Chitanda answered readily, her large, amethyst-like eyes sparkling.
Kyosuke Kosaka chuckled, "Then I'll go take a look. Wait a minute, I'll bring the best radish for Yamausagi... and Oitsuki too."
"Lord Kyosuke has almost forgotten about Oitsuki."
"Now that you've discovered the secret, there's nothing we can do."
Kousaka Kyosuke sighed and put his arms around Shizuko.
This girl sometimes likes to criticize herself; I don't know if she's just nitpicking.
In short, let's assume it was intentional.
Then let's prepare to teach them a lesson.
"Lord Kyosuke, I was wrong!" Shizuko hurriedly begged for forgiveness.
Kyosuke Kosaka tilted his head: "Who do you think will save you?"
Shizuko looked to the others for help, only to find that Kagura, Susou, Chitanda... all of them turned their faces away.
Help!
"I remember there are quite a few cantaloupes ripening too, let's go take a look." Kousaka Kyosuke grinned mischievously and patted Shizuko on the shoulder.
Shizuko shrank back like a turtle, the crisp sound beside her ears like a demonic chant...
357. The crops on the estate / well-behaved / the role of the band
The radish was indeed as big as Kyosuke Kousaka's hand.
Kyosuke Kosaka gestured, and that's exactly right.
"Such an elegant white color, we should offer some seeds as tribute."
"Huh? Daoist Master, do you even need this?"
Su Chang looked puzzled.
Kyosuke Kosaka gestured with the radish in his hand.
"As long as the taste isn't bad, a good-looking appearance is enough to attract a large number of people."
"Kyosuke-sama, the radish is delicious!" Chitanda said immediately.
Kyosuke Kosaka smiled apologetically at Chitanda: "Yes, the radish is delicious."
Chitanda herself was a farmer's daughter and had a very special affection for crops.
Kyosuke Kosaka had no reason not to go along with her wishes.
"I'll cook for you later then~"
Chitanda spoke up very enthusiastically.
Kyosuke Kosaka readily agreed, but he had no doubt that Chitanda wanted to turn him into a "radish lover".
"If this radish isn't thoroughly cooked, the spiciness can be quite astonishing," Jingzi said.
Kyosuke Kosaka asked with a smile, "You've eaten this before?"
"Lord Kyosuke, how can you know how it tastes if you don't try it?"
"Is that so... Then you've really worked hard."
