Chapter 167: The Results of the Experint and Noble Cuisine (2/3)
“Right you are. We have to decide what food to serve when organizing a party, and even if we’re not the host, we do get invited a lot. Of course, we have to eat what we’re serve. Becase of that I’m using the ti I have now to get used to noble cuisine… Are you perhaps interested?” [Elize]
“I would be lying if I said I wasn’t.” [Ryouma]
If the madam talks about it that much, I can’t help but be curious myself.
That being said, noble cuisine catered for parties must be very expensive compared to normal food.
I think it’s a bit much to request such expensive food just because I’m interested.
“I don’t recomnd it that much, but if you insist, then alright. I really cannot reinstate that I do not recomnd it, but there should be enough food for another person, so if I tell the head chef, I’m sure it can be prepared. Again. I really do not recomnd this.” [Elize]
“…In that case, please allow to take advantage of your generosity.” [Ryouma]
My curiosity won out.
“Alright then, I’ll have soone call you from your room when the food has been prepared.” [Elize]
Before I knew it the after cleanup of the experint was already done.
And then alti ca.
“Hello, Ryouma-kun. How was the experint?” [Reinhart]
“Thanks to your help, I was able to get aningful data.” [Ryouma]
I spoke to Reinhart-san about the results of the experint while waiting for the food to be served.
“Thanks to the experints this morning, I now have an idea what direction I should take my products.” [Ryouma]
Due to the circumstances surrounding the people cooperating with the experint,I was worried at first, but they were surprisingly relaxed and were able to honestly give their opinion.
The two most common opinions are these:
I want a sugar scrub with a strong scent.
I want a sugar scrub with no scent.
Two completely different opinions and yet the number of supporters behind each is barely different.
I was thinking it would be better to add more scent, but the results are surprisingly different.
I wanted to investigate the results more closely, and it turns out that most of those requesting for sugar scrubs with strong scents are the ‘common won’ servants, who were rely hired.
While those who wanted sugar scrubs with no scent were the ‘n’, ‘so of the female servants’, ‘the madam’, Rurunez-san, Riviola-san, and the ‘servants with high rank’ like the maids accompanying the madam. There were all sorts.
When I asked for the reasons behind the requests, I found out that the won who wanted the scented sugar scrubs, wanted them for the following reasons:
Perfud oil is expensive and is a luxury, so it’s not sothing that they can easily use.
Depending on the variant, commoners might not even be able to acquire them, so there’s a sense of luxury.
If they can also add scent to their bodies after using the sugar scrub, then it will make the sugar scrub a bargain deal.
There are so differences in the details, but if you summarize their opinions, it all basically boils down into these three points.
Apparently, using perfud oil is quite a luxury to the common won, and just having even a drop of perfud oil already gives a luxurious feeling to the product. All the more so if the scent can remain after use. Those who were especially honest said that they could use the scent after bathing themselves to appeal to n. They spoke about various thods of using the product.
…At so point, the contents they spoke about beca too dangerous to be spoken of to a child (), so they ended up incurring Riviola’s scolding, but I protected them with all my strength. That was probably the most exhausting part of the experint today.
“Sounds like you had a harder ti than I thought…” [Reinhart]
“They were very important opinions in improving the sugar scrub from a re prototype to an actual product.” [Ryouma]
“That’s good to hear. So, what about the people that preferred an unscented variant?” [Reinhart]
“Oh, in their case, they had all sorts of reasons. One reason given was a simple ‘I hate perfu’, but this was a minority. It was mostly the n who were saying this.” [Ryouma]
“Ah, yes. There are indeed people who hate the sll of costics, aren’t there? I’m not too fond of it myself.” [Reinhart]
Reinhart-san too? Actually, too.
“But girls just want their partner to find them beautiful…” [Elize]
“I know they put a lot of effort into it. I won’t deny that.” [Reinhart]
When the madam muttered that earlier sentence to herself, Reinhart-san quickly followed up that he acknowledge the effort of won.
Is that the action of a good man? In the end, I could not tell from the madam’s expression if that was the right action or not.
I continued.
“The servants working in the kitchen said that a strong scent would ‘interfere with their work’ or ‘they’ll be scolded’. Their reasons were because of their job. As for the madam and the high-class servants, they are all regularly using perfu already, so in order to be able ‘to pick out a perfu they like’, they want an unscented sugar scrub that they can use in the bath.
A kitchen maid says that she wants to use a scented sugar scrub if she could, but given her work, she’ll have to use the unscented one instead… Just being able to know this difference in opinion based on one’s occupation and social standing is a huge help. I also think it’s simply interesting.” [Ryouma]
