So happy there are more chapters.

I completely forgot that Mao Mao's "dad" is actually related to Luo Han. But man. That whole thing with the old madam is always so frustrating to watch. Like, I kind of don't really get why she refused to let Luo han redeem Feng Xian after he returned.

Ah, it's that corset thing again. The history and/or costume enthusiasts are already groaning about it.

Yeah, that's the thing, in any country there's always going to be different types of cooking. There's the more refined high class cooking, home type cooking, the fast food/street food sorts, etc. What I was surprised of is that Yuzan seems that have prejudice against French food entirely before...

This chapter had surprised me. I didn't expect Yuzan to be like this with French food. In one of the Ala carte chapters it was mentioned that he is considered an authoritative consultant of Chinese cooking, so I had thought he'd be respectful of foreign cuisine traditions even if he might not...

I'm curious if there's a typo here somewhere. The contest judge says you can only use two ingredients, but Heidi collected multiple prawns and octopus, and also a lot of vegetables?

Tsuchiya "sensei" implies that the woman is the one surnamed Tsuchiya, and the dude married into her family. The asshole is one thing, but what is up with this toxic wife? If her dad really has that much power then just have him help that guy get a job somewhere else? Buy him a whole shop...

I still don't get why Kuwahara couldn't fire him. Repeated failure in getting the food right should be considered incompetence and enough grounds to fire the damn guy, no?

I'm so glad Goleo didn't die 😭

I got so distracted by the shark's head, it took me a moment to notice that the "heart of a shark" was the small slices next to it.

Sure, that's perfectly reasonable. Some terms are just hard to convey in English 😅 Also, after rereading, I realised I had misremembered the smoke story somewhat. It was actually a rakugo comedy story, and not like an anecdote about daily life (even if it was urban legend). It even ended with a...

Oh, I do know about Edokko, but the way "Ooedo" is usually used is different from just "Edo" in general or Edokko. Like, I usually see it used more specifically for old fashioned themes (or at least related to traditional Japan). Now I'm curious if those other usage of Edo also specifically use...

That was a bit unexpected. When Yamaoka said the man had to prove his sincerity to the woman, I thought they would have to get him to help with making the food. I didn't think it would end up being a discussion on diet food for the woman.

Pg 21: Selling smoke is probably about this anecdote about unagi kabayaki smoke from the Edo period. There was a famous unagi kabayaki store in the Edo capital, and it was very popular. There was a guy who was too poor to afford the unagi, so he would just sit outside the store near the kitchen...

Argh, this bothers me to no end. The artist screwed up the artwork. That blooming flower tea is not jasmine. Since jasmine is small, they never put just one jasmine in the bundle. Whatever the artist did draw looks nothing like a jasmine. That single large flower looks more like a chrysanthemum...

Yeah, I figured the inspector bullied him into running away, but I was wondering why he can't be formally arrested LOL. As long as he's gone it works, I guess.

Got curious and looked it up myself. According to this website, the most common reading for it is "Shikata".

Who WAS the thug anyway? Can't that guy just be arrested for coercion or something?

Thanks for translating. This was another one that had the official version in Ala Carte, so it's another interedting one to compare. Though, in the official version the angler guy they met was called Yotsukata? Since you wrote his name as Yomo, I'm now curious what the name actually looks like...

Thanks for the chapter! I don't remember this paper thing in the other series. That's fascinating.
