Chapter 46

As soon as I finished dinner, my father went to sleep because it was a morning turn. Handwork that allows you to work quietly in the kitchen so as not to disturb your father’s sleep is also perfect for killing the time until they go to sleep.

My father went to the bedroom and started preparing to sleep, so I started talking about winter handiwork to Turi and my mother.

“Today, because the hair ornaments made in Frida have a good reputation, and there are people who want it, I asked Benno if he could put forward winter handicrafts. I want it “

“… I can’t do it”

Mother and Turi looked at each other and then looked suspiciously. Although it is not impossible, it is written on the face that it is too much work to put forward winter handicrafts.

In response, as I expected, I put my hand in the tote bag and placed two charitalins and two bronze coins on the table as well as evidence.

“Since I’ve deposited the advance payment a little, I will pay the fee if I can do it”

The next moment, Mother and Turi stood up, and the two brought the table to the side of the cheerful cheer.

“Huh? That?”

I can only be stunned by being left behind while sitting in a chair.

In the meantime, Turi picks up a thin crochet for three people from the sewing box, and the mother carries a bag full of yarn from the storeroom.

I moved down from the chair, overwhelmed by the movements that made me breathe. As soon as I pull the rattle to move the chair to the table, my mother’s voice flies.

“Mine, where are the samples to reference?”

“Huh? Did you return to Turi?”

Turi responds to my words and moves quickly, bringing out hair ornaments from my wooden box.

“Turri’s voice screaming in search of hair ornaments heard my father’s voice asking” What? What did you do? “, But my mother’s voice flew out of the kitchen, saying” Nothing. .

When I moved my chair to the table and sat back, I was completely ready for handwork.

“Mine, what color should I make?”

My mother asked while fishing in a thread cage, but there was no color specified. It’s just said that you should have the same design as the Turi hair ornament.

“I don’t know your hair color or your favorite color, so I’m told you want to make a lot of different colors. Choose three colors to match the Turi hair ornament, and the number of flowers Make it the same “

“I understand. How about white, yellow and red?”

“It’s nice and cute”

Listening to my answer, my mother started knitting wildly. Because I knit a Turi hair ornament, I know how to make it, so it’s fast and fast. When I make it, a floret that takes about 15 minutes to make one is knitted in about 5 minutes.

Four florets of each color are made to make a bouquet.

“I’m happy to choose from a variety of colors. I wonder if I should make white, yellow, and blue. Colors with my hair ornament. What color will Mine do?”

From the many colors, I choose my favorite color and Turi laughs. I like the hair ornaments I made very much and I am happy.

“I’m going to make it pink, red and green. I think the green florets look like leaves and they’re cute”

“Yeah, cute …. Hey, Mine. How do you make it?”

Turi, who seemed unable to listen to her mother who knits her side by side, brought a chair next to me. The sample hair ornament was made for Turi, so Turi was not made.

“It’s not so difficult. This way, this way …”

When showing how to knit while teaching how to make small flowers, it was much easier than Frida’s rose, so Turi could be made immediately.

“I understand. Thank you.”

When the rattle and the chair are returned to their original positions, Turi begins to knit quietly and quickly.

I had been knitting for a while, but when I finished knitting the three florets and raised my gaze, there was an overwhelming difference in the florets that were made.

My mother has a small number of florets that are likely to become one hair ornament, and six florets are rolling in front of Turi.

Oh, indeed, a beautiful sewing woman.

Both mother and Turi are so fast that their hands are incomparable. It will be done in no time.

I’m from Okan Art, and I can’t win either at speed or at work. At the very least, when comparing hair ornaments with two people, I decided to make it carefully so that it doesn’t seem bad at a glance and move the crochet.

Ordinary winter handicrafts are trapped in the snow, and in the spare time, in the spare time, and when it can’t be helped. However, due to the cash on the table tonight, both of them are knitting hard without any talk coming out.

“It’s done! What will you do after this?”

When I raised my face to the voice of Turi shining brightly, 12 florets lined up in front of Turi.

“Turi, it’s fast. It’s amazing. Well, after this, I sew it to the end piece … Oh, it’s end! It’s not in the costing!”

“Hand-work materials are mostly prepared by ourselves, so you can use what’s in your house.”

My mother had already sewed florets and finished them in the form of hair ornaments, with the cuts in my house.

“… I’ll either charge you Benno later or request a cloth”

“You can get 2 medium-sized coins for each one, so you don’t have to do that.”

…… Eh? ”How terrible is the handiwork you usually do?

In the handicraft that began in earnest in winter, Tuli picked up a piece of cut that had been taken from the storeroom when he decided to recalculate the cost of the piece.

“Since my mother makes it, I sew it so that the flowers of the same color don’t harden. If I sew so that the cloth underneath is not visible, the florets gather and bouquet. Because it looks poppy “

“Yes, I understand”

When the hair ornament that Turi has started making is completed, I will sleep today.

After all, I could only do about half before going to bed, but I made up one Turi and my mother made 80% of the second.

“Now, I’ll pay today”

“Wow!”

I paid 2 coins to each person and put the decorations in my wooden box.

“Let’s go to sleep together.”

“What is your mother?”

“I’m going to sleep after finishing this half-finished thing”

laughs like mother is in trouble pointing at hair ornaments that are about 80% finished.

It will end soon if my mother speed. I went into the bedroom gently, taking care not to wake my father with Turi.

Why do I get two finished hair ornaments on the table when I get up in the morning? …… Was a night pan, mother. Turi, who slept in a regrettable mood, is angry.

“Mom only sneaking in the middle of the night!”

“I’m sorry, Turi. I’ll be careful. Now go to work.”

The mother apologizes to Turi that swells and urges her to go to work. With an unsatisfactory look, Turi jumps out saying, “When I come back, I will make a lot.”

As Turi went, I put away the two decorations made by my mother and took out four medium copper coins instead.

“Don’t forget my mom handing me money before I go to work. Then I’m going to Benno today too. I finished it with Lutz’s bag and got some money. If you don’t come, you can’t give it to two people. “

“I understand. Please take care. Say Benno-san”

The mother who cleared the bronze coins in her wallet went out with a smile, saying, “I’ll do my best tonight.”

The door and door close, and there is a sound that the key closes. I was waving with a smile until my footsteps were low, and sighed.

Bad. The power of cash is too strong.

I didn’t expect to speed up so far.

It’s too unexpected for my mom to go to night.

I have to finish my hair ornaments completely and sell them to replenish my cash.

“Well, today I’m peeling the Trombe first”

I don’t know when Lutz will pick you up, so be prepared to leave at any time.

First, two potato bowl calf bowls.

Then, a stone board, a brush, and a calculator so that you can study while steaming. I’m going to Benno, so don’t forget to place a purchase order set.

Furthermore, a crochet and thread to complete the hair ornament I am making. Cut 7 completed florets. Then needles and threads to sew on cut ends and rivets.

Starts knitting with a small crochet until Lutz comes, waiting to make florets.

When two florets were made, the sound of knocking on the door and the sound of Lutz resonating, “Mine, are you?”

“Good morning, Lutz. Hey, do you have enough heels?”

“Did you make five?”

“Take it all. I’ll bring you the needle and the thread. You have to finish it while it’s steamed and sell it to Benno.”

Lutz opened his eyes when he said that he had done four last night.

“Isn’t it too fast !? That flower is hard to make and takes time …”

“No, I wasn’t expecting it to be so fast, so I’m really impatient.”

“… I understand. Should I bring only the heel part? What else is there?”

Today, there is only one thing Lutz should never forget.

“Butter? Are you ready?”

“Isn’t that wrong? … I’ll pick it up. Lock it down and head down.”

Apparently he was not prepared. Dangerous potato was about to miss butter.

Refusing Lutz to turn down the stairs, I went out with my prepared luggage.

“It’s cold”

Warehousing without people’s signs is cold and the outside is cold enough to feel warm because of the sunlight. There is no place in the warehouse where you can use fire, so you’ll steam the Trombe about a bell in front of the warehouse and remove the black skin.

When I left the luggage in the warehouse and went outside, Rutz was piling up stones and preparing the pot.

I line up the tromboses in the steamer. The steamer was full quickly.

“Lutz. Steamer seems to have one more step.”

“Bring”

Since it was a prototype when I made it before, I didn’t need to steam so much, but this time I have to steam all the ingredients here. Since the steamer was prepared so that it could be steamed in two stages from the beginning, let Lutz bring another one from the warehouse.

“Can I put the pot already?”

“Yeah, arranging the trees will end soon”

Lutz arranges the remaining Trombe while fixing the pan.

And the firewood that I brought was cut into a cross with a knife so that the fire could pass easily, and it was put together and covered. If you steam for about 20 minutes, you should be able to eat delicious potato butter-not exactly potato.

I started making florets while catching fire in front of the pot. It takes about 15 minutes to make a floret of hair ornaments, so considering the time to clean up, it is just right for the waiting time of potato butter.

“Lutz made a thin bamboo comb with the bamboo left in the warehouse. A guy with a sharp point”

“What? Why?”

“Because I’m checking to see if” Jagar Butter “was made”

“What? Mine, what are you doing?”

“If you use a steamer, you want to eat … you don’t need lutz?”

“You are supposed to eat! Is Jaga Butter a food?”

Oh, is that so? Jata butter didn’t work.

芋 There are dishes like butter saute of salmon so you can eat them normally.

As soon as it was found that there was food in the steamer, Rutz put up and made a bamboo comb.

“Now, Mine. Is that jagua butter good?”

“I like a lot. I think Lutz is probably a taste you’ve used to eating, too?”

Because the pan was so big that it took longer than expected to start steaming, I took the time to make two florets.

Let’s take a look at the state of the kites.

“Okay, Lutz. Open the lid!”

Standing on Ralf’s unsuccessful work, holding a fresh bamboo comb in his right hand, holding chopsticks in his left hand, I wait for Lutz to open the lid.

“Mine, don’t bring your face too close!”

As soon as Lutz opened the lid, a bubbly and white steam burst out. When the hot and white steam is passed through and the field of view opens, a tub with a slightly darker yellow color in the Trombe raises steam.

I gently stab my bamboo shoot in my right hand. It seems that the shape hasn’t collapsed and it has finished in a nice way.

The right hand bamboo comb and the left hand chopsticks were replaced, and this time the chopsticks were set up.

“Lutz has a plate!”

“Are you here?”

“Take the flat board there, so I’m ready. Then I’m ready for the butter”

“Be prepared before decorating!”

“Nuo, no face”

取 り 出 し Take out the bowl with chopsticks and place it on the board.

When I jumped off the stand, I cut the cross cut with a knife and immediately put the butter. The smell of butter that melts with heat is irresistible.

Contrary to me, when the cancer tension rises, Lutz’s tension starts to drop from the moment I see the spear coming out of the steamer.

“… what is Calphe? I expected it because it was Mine’s dish”

It seems too disgusting to eat.

Because it is well cultivated around here, Calphe is a common ingredient on the table. I’m tired of eating. Aside from elaborate dishes, it’s easy to see what you can’t expect when the skin is on.

“Yeah. Certainly there are a lot of dishes with butter and carphe candy? Isn’t it okay if you don’t need Lutz?”

“… I’ll eat”

Leaving Lutz on the swelled surface, if I turn the velvet and skin only in the upper part, I wrap it in an apron so as not to burn my hand, and have a bag. As it was, I opened my mouth and bite into a bowl standing with steam.

Only the surface cools well with the outside cold air, but the inside is hot and melts in the mouth. Steamed with Trombe, it has a woody scent like smoked smoke that matches the flavor of butter and cannot be eaten at home.

When I was holding on my cheeks and dressed up for deliciousness, Rutz squeezed into the calf bowl while exhaling a white breath mixed with sigh.

Immediately afterwards, open your eyes and look at the eyelids. After comparing me with the frog with a strange look like a cheating, I eat another bite while tilting my neck.

“… Umai! Why ?! The taste is completely different from that of a bowl with hot water at home!”

“It’s because it’s steamed. It’s a lot of nutrition and umami when it’s steamed. It’s steamed with Trombe this time, so it’s like a smoked scent that makes you feel very luxurious.”

Talking to Lutz about making last night’s decorations while eating Hokuhoku Uma Calphe Bowl.

“… So, yesterday night, my mother and Turi were amazing. I’m full of motivation tonight. I realized again that I couldn’t finish one,”

“Don’t threaten”

“Lutz? How was it?”

Lutz, who had finished eating all the calfe rice bowls, licked his finger in a regrettable manner, then shook his head with a bitter face.

“Everyone seemed never interested in what I was doing, and I wasn’t sure if I could help.”

“Well, then today, let’s go to the Lutz house for magic?”

“Magic?”

“Oh, when I receive money at Benno-san, I’m looking forward to going to Lutz’s house”

] Now that we have finished eating, have Lutz draw water from the well, wash his hands and rinse his mouth.

And then I returned with the calculator I had and put it in front of Lutz.

“Well, 4 hair ornaments were completed today. Since yesterday, Benno-san paid one minute in advance, so today’s reward is 3 and the hair ornament is 11 bronze coins. How much can I get? “

Lutz started using his fingers with a serious face when he raised the problem in front of the calculator.

“It’s 33!”

“Yes, that’s correct. Well done! Well then, Lutz needs to make 20 bags. I made 5 yesterday. How many more should I make?”

After all, it seems that calculations with carry and carry down cannot be done immediately using a calculator, and Rutz is in trouble. If the addition of a single digit does not become reflective with mental arithmetic, it will take time to use the calculator, so we decided to leave the calculator once and write the numbers on the stone board and start the practice of addition .

“Remember this. You have to remember to be able to return the answer as soon as you are told”

Next to what Lutz remembers while talking, I’ll complete the hair ornament.

When my hair ornament was completed, it was already past noon, and Trombe was steamed well.

“Lutz, retreat once when water enters”

盥 ( Tub ) In , I use chopsticks Pick them one by one and add Trombe. After passing through cold water, Lutz picks it up and puts it on the side board. Because it is not a river, the water of the azure gets warm quickly.

“The water is getting warm. Wait a minute”

I sit down and wait for the skin to come off until Lutz draws water from the well and refills the water of the reeds. When water enters, take out Trombe again. That’s a repetition.

When I took it all out of the steamer, I peeled off the black skin before it cooled down, and Lutz tidy up the pot and steamer in the meantime.

And, when the black skin is dried like a nail in the warehouse, today’s work is finished.

“It’s over!”

“Okay, I’m done!”

Since the hot black skin was peeled off, the fingertips were still tingling with heat after the black skin was dried. Cold air is comfortable.

I breathed cold air into my lungs.

“… Ah?”

I wasn’t despaired. I don’t feel anxious about anything.

I just felt a sense of relief and freedom after work.

However, the heat of eating is about to rampage in the body.

I put power into my body to reflect the heat of eating.

“Hey, Mine !?”

shook me as if Lutz was impatient, probably because it was set in front of Lutz.

I’d like to say “Don’t shake because I’m out of focus.”

¡Luts hold my right hand with both hands when I put my right hand forward and grab Lutz’s hand.

“What’s this? Suddenly the heat has risen! Mine, are you okay ?? Can you hear me?”

Concentrated on a tightly held hand and managed to suppress the heat as many times as possible.

A little fever that broke through the siege came out this time, although it had been managed until now with the image of surrounding and chasing around the center.

Get back!

I feel that it took the most time to push all the heat that was about to come out.

After the heat was drawn, the feeling of tiredness that I didn’t want to use was rushing. I couldn’t stand because of my strength, and when I sat down, I crouched to the side so that Lutz, who was holding my hand, was pulled.

“Eh? Has the fever dropped? What is this? Hey! Mine, are you okay?”

“… I’m eating. Frida said before.”

Replying to him, exhaling a big breath, he shook his eyebrows as Lutz was in trouble.

“Wait a minute, because there was no sign of a bad physical condition?”

“I’m coming suddenly. Until now I’ve been influenced by a lot of emotions, but recently I’ve started to react to emotional shakes …

Really surprised, it was not a shock that could be done with simple words, but I wanted to reassure Rutz who still holds my hand with a face that seems to cry, Narrow your eyes and raise your lips.

“Does it somehow work?”

“… I thought Frida said it was very expensive. Benno said the same thing”

Suddenly, blood is drawn from Lutz’s face, becoming pale.

“That’s why we should go to Benno’s shop to earn even a little?”

honestly, the truth is that it will be hard to be more powerful, and I will make you laugh.

Lutz clenched his teeth, released his hand and turned his back.

“I will carry you back to the store … I can only do that”

“That’s all that Lutz is doing for me?”

“Good, do it fast!”

Listening to Lutz’s voice urging me.

Although I tried to lean on my back with an unknown pretend, a drop and a drop fell on my arm from the shoulder of Lutz.

I think it was good.

In the Reino era, when I lived looking only at books, I had no friends crying like this. I’ve read a book that much, but I don’t know how to speak.

Too kind, Lutz.

No matter how useful it is, you can stay with me, even if you’re not good at walking.

I forgot to know that I’m not a real mine.

“Lutz won’t take responsibility if I ate and I fell down. It’s really coming suddenly … and I’m still not defeated. I don’t have it “

Luth did not respond, although I heard a squeaking noise.
