She understood what Jin was saying but as she didn’t understand how that has any relation with the raw rubber, Elsa still had a doubtful expression on her face.

“And so, add the sulfur to the raw rubber and, ‘homogenize’.
And, insert your hand into this.”

“Eh?”

As Jin took the initiative and inserted his hands into the gum solution, Elsa also copied him.

As he was wearing short sleeves, he inserted his hand 10 centimeters in from the wrist and used ‘linking’.
Elsa also did the same.

“Alright, good, then to finish it off, ‘separation’.
And then you peel it off your hand.”

Elsa also peeled off the thin layer of membrane from her hand and finally understood what Jin made.

“….A gum glove?”

“Yep.
Use it when you’re dealing with dirty stuff or when you don’t want to get your hands dirty.”

“Got it.
Thanks, Jin-nii.”

“There’s plenty of gum left so make some spare for when it breaks….
Also, you can do this later but please make some for Mine, Martha and Hanna.”

“Yep, got it.
Leave it to me.”

Elsa nodded and shifted her attention to the topic at hand for now.
Which was to dye the cloth.
Jin was watching her do it but since there were no problems, he turned towards Reiko.

“Reiko, let’s walk outside a bit.”

“Yes, father.”

He instructed Laojun to appoint one Smith golem to support Elsa.

“Ah, it has been maintained quite well, huh?”

Jin went to see the fields in Hourai island with Reiko.

These pelshika (peach), citran (orange), aplulu (apple), ramon (lemon), maron (chestnust) and walnut were already here in the island.

They were cultivating wheat, barley, black-eyed pea, red beans and soybean there.

Before he knew it, the plant yielding pulse and variety had increased.

There were even types of vegetables Jin didn’t know of.

And cane (sugarcane).

“Is this the one we found at the southern part of Serroa kingdom?”

The Quinta deployed to Serroa kingdom found and brought it.
Jin just got to know of it recently.

And this was because the report was made to Jin after they finished inspecting whether sugar could really be harvested.
Moreover, considering how busy Jin was, Laojun also waited for the perfect timing to report on it.

Although sugar was pricey, since they purchased quite a lot and stocked it, the risk was low.

“With this, we can be self-sufficient to to quite an extent, huh?”

Jin was also very pleased.
All that’s left is to wait for the Quinta deployed to Shouro kingdom to bring rice.

“Well, I guess that should be enough of the field inspection.
Well then, Reiko, let’s get back to the laboratory.”

After getting a change of pace from looking at the green fields, Jin began making something he had thought about for some time.

He prepared red beans, white sugar and very little salt.

That’s right, Jin was trying to make red bean paste.

“Right, so 2 kilograms of red beans and 2.5 kilograms of sugar.
If I am not wrong, I am supposed to use 1/120 amount of the sugar used as salt so, 20.8 grams.”

First, you boil the red beans at a high temperature.
Then pour water and boil once again before putting out the fire and discarding the broth.

Then, once again add water and boil.
Take care to take the scum which come floating.
The heat should be low.

When it starts getting softer, stop the heat and start pouring water into a saucepan.
As it starts overflowing, drain it in a draining basket.

Then add the bean to the sauce pan with sugar and salt and mix well and cook in medium heat.

Mix so as to not burn it and once the moisture is gone, stop the fire and crush the beans.

Once it’s cooled, coarse sweet red bean paste is done.

It takes about 2 hours.
That’s about how much he learnt about making red bean paste at the orphanage.

As it was just about noon at Kaina village, Jin gave the freshly made red bean paste pot to Reiko to hold and went to call Elsa.

“Oii, Elsa, it’s lunchtime so let’s return to the village once.”

“Ah, Jin-nii.
I was just done.”

Elsa was also done with the mascot doll and showed it to Jin.

“Oho? It looks great.”

The doll’s shoulder height cleanly cut and clear black eyes left an impression.
The doll was wearing a deep blue dress.
The neck was white and the hem of the long skirt had laces.

Jin was also impressed at how girl-like the doll came to be.
Putting aside the production techniques, even Jin couldn’t make a design this good.

“Smith 1 provided the lace so I tried using it.”

“Yeah, I think it makes a good accent.
You have improved, Elsa.”

Jin was also happy seeing Elsa improve so much in such little time.

Elsa’s nose twitched.

“? ….A sweet smell.”

Jin laughed and answered.

“Yeah, I made ‘red bean paste’.
Let’s get back to the village and have lunch.”
