Was this prompted by Timeless's upload, or just something being worked on at the same time?
Either way, thanks for dropping the chapter

it really stretches the suspension of disbelief to have entire groups just skip the development of cooking, one of the earliest and most essential parts of civilization, and one of the pillars of culture itself

I know. I get that it just gets the story rolling, but lots of things in this series are so poorly thought through. Even in this chapter, the best portable food they could think of was soup?
That's like the worst possible option and it requires a fire and a pot at the very minimum to make. Now we need freshly chopped ingredients and someone to make bouillon balls?
How about a bean spread? You just need bread or a tortilla or something. That's actually portable.
This author just glides over logic to add in the next food.

Because they are merchants, they travel for a prolonged period of time, and bread will become stale after a day.

If we talk about portability and practicability, something like dried meat, which last long and can be prepared before the journey would be the best bet.
But they also want their food to be delicious, so they need something that gives substance and enjoyable to eat at the same time.

Bread does not typically go bad after a single day. Bread wouldn't have been the foundational food of most civilizations if this was the case.
In fact, many types of travelers bread, biscuits, and crackers could last for months. Add some preserved spreads, meat, or cheese on that and you have a decently tasty meal to keep your strength up.
This should at the very minimum get you to your next stop.

Soup is still easily the worst possible option. I'm sure it's tasty, but does every traveler have 2 or so hours to prepare it for a single meal. Not to mention the days of work it would take to prepare the bouillon.
Wouldn't the fresh veggies easily go bad after a few days?
You don't always have access to suplerflous amounts of clean water or a roaring fire on the go.
And worse, if you dont finish it all, what choice do you have but to toss it? Room temp soup is a great vector for foodbourne illness.

Soup every day is the diet of the merchant that dies on their journey.

All I could think of right now is Instant Ramen...

Okay so is it back? Is it not? This is a good manga. Why did it get dropped several times?
