489 16th of the Yellow Moon ② - Grace Pavilion of Tanto

"My name is Jan and I have been keeping the cook for a few days at this Tanto's Grace Pavilion. As you cross the border, let me first give you a preliminary guide regarding confectionery making."

Jan's calm voice echoes in the cook.

He talked about the effective use of new ingredients every once in a while.

"We don't have much time, so let me tell you from the main point. First of all, in making sweet confectionery, we recommend using not only Poitan but also Fuwano. Needless to say, the cost of ingredients may not even be cheaper if you only use Poitan, but on the other hand, only Poitan, which is not sticky at the dough stage, can be very difficult to handle.... Asta, you think the same thing?

"Yes, if it's a previously revealed treat called Hot Cake, I can handle it only with Poitan, but I think it would be ideal to mix fuwano even considering the difference in finish"

"That leaves the potato dough with sugar and caron milk, mixed with kimmus eggs, cooked in milk fat, right?

"Yes, you're right"

"I see. If that's how you make dough baked on an iron plate or something, it's possible to rub confectionery even in a less sticky poiton. … Conversely, it is difficult to make otherwise."

Jan nodded and turned to your husband again.

"Also, confectionery in Castle Town is made using cookware, many of which are iron kilns, stone kilns. However, I have never seen such equipment in an accomodation town, so it is even more likely that there will be restrictions on how it is made. Then you should still mix and cook fuwano in your poitan."

"Specifically, how should it be cooked?

A familiar voice can be heard from within the hedge. Perhaps this is the voice of Naudis from The Great Tree Pavilion in the South.

Naudis was very motivated by this case, as sweet confectionery is usually distributed in Jagal, the country of origin of sugar.

"Let me actually make it, rather than explain it in words. Shayla, Nicolas, please prepare the fire for each one of you."

Speaking to the two cooking assistants that way, Jan put her hands up on the workbench in front of her. Ingredients for confectionery making were already arranged there.

"First of all, it's a dough, which is also often eaten in the lodging town. Let's rub this in fuwano, potato and sugar only."

Jan's hand splits the ingredients. The people behind the pedestrian walls were distressed to see it somehow.

"The portions are Poitan for 7 and Fuwano for 3. Less fuwano makes it harder to do this with your hands. And the amount of sugar is half the sum of Poitan and Fuwano."

"Are you gonna punch that much sugar? He looks a lot like a copper coin."

Rema-Gate blurred, but Jan proceeded with the work without looking concerned.

"As I said, sugar is never cheap because it's taken from Jagal. But since accommodation towns have also been allowed to trade, sugar has become more widely available than before, so discussions are being exchanged so that it can be purchased at a cheaper price"

I guess Polearths and Tolst have the negotiations around there. Even in Turan, where revenues from Fuwano have fallen, I was told that the financial situation has become much more stable because the distribution of other ingredients has been revitalized.

"The dough is condensed with caron's milk. Here you can also add kimmus eggs, fruits, etc. to make it look as sweet as possible, but now I will not dare to use it to make sure you know correctly the flavour of the fabric on which it is based"

Jan's hand rubbed a little dough about a ping-pong ball.

And he stabbed the iron skewer, and turned to Nicola's face as if she had been deceived.

"Broil this over a kama flame. If you light the fire directly, it will burn as soon as possible, so spare no time and cook it carefully."

This was certainly a method of cooking not often found in the Inn Town, even in an era when Fuwano was considered a staple food.

Previously there was no eating habit of eating fuwano or poitan alone in the first place, so I guess it was mainstream to quickly bake them on an iron plate. The basic way to eat the dough was to wrap the ingredients in thinly baked dough or sink the round dough into the soup and let the heat pass.

"... Speaking of which, you were also selling giva meat buns at Asta's stall?

And the gaze remains toward which side, and Jan calls again.

"I think that was steamed, but do you use both fuwano and poitan for the dough?

"No, I only use fuwano that one. Because this dish was developed before I came up with a mix of fuwano and poitan."

"I see. Whatever it is, steaming cages aren't that much of a high-value piece of equipment, and they're going to be able to widen the range of confectionery making if they're going to be sold in boarding towns."

After stating so, Jan lifted the iron skewer.

Fuwano and Poitan dumplings are grown and baked plump. How delicious it seemed to have burnt eyes on the surface.

"If you put this heat through, it should be enough first. We have prepared something here that we made the same way, so please taste it"

When Nicola took away the cloth that was covered in a large plate, the dough was piled there.

It's kind of like a TV cooking show, and I can make one pleasant.

All in all, everyone on the spot was to taste the fuwano and poitan dough.

So it was Lema-Gate again who raised his voice first.

"What, you put all that sugar in it, and it's not even very sweet?"

"Yes, you will need the same weight of sugar as the sum of fuwano and poitan to make confetti sweetness with this dough alone. It should be cheaper to use fruits and other products to create flavors."

The great thing about Jan was that she was a Castle Town cook but also had a sense of commonness.

In the first place, Jan was working with the belief that "delicious dishes should be able to be made without relying on rare ingredients" in a time when Cycleus had been buying up ingredients.

By then, even Castle Town wouldn't have been free to handle sugar without a cook bordering on Cycleus, so naturally that kind of belief would have sprung up.

"If I were you, I would either refine the fruit in the dough, or surround myself with juice stewed with fruit, or use sweet-scented vanilla. Ideally, you just want to unwind all of them, taking great care not to destroy the flavor."

"Hmm. We've also tried baking poitan mixed with sugar on an iron plate, but it looks like it has a much different finish than that one"

"That's why I let him bake it as a dough," Jan responded when one of your husbands said of those thoughts.

"If you wrap fruits and such in thinly baked dough, that's a fine dough too. In thin and round fabrics, however, they vary greatly, first from texture to texture. Adding kimmus eggs, gigo, etc. to this will make it even plumper and change the bite, so we just want to give it a try."

Your husbands said, "Hmm."

Of course you are amazed at the different possibilities in this plain fabric, not the revelation of disappointment. Release the taste Jan said of this, and that might have been the only product or lukewarm.

"Next, it's about fried and grilled confectionery. Shayla, how are you getting ready?

"Yes, I think this pan has warmed up enough"

In Shayla's possession, the oil of Leten was warm.

Jan nods and puts her hands on the ingredients again.

"Turn the dough, finished in the same amount as just now, into a flat shape, fried and grilled. It's still a shallow lodging town where you can handle leten oil, but why not use this as an opportunity to acquire the art of frying and baking?"

"Deep-fried grilled food was sold at Asta's stall, too!

And, Yumi's voice echoes from behind.

"That's right," I let him answer that voice.

"I used to fry and grill Giva's meat and sell it. Dip the ingredients in the heated oil and let the heat pass."

"That was delicious!... but why are you talking like that to me?

"That's what I've been telling everyone else."

Some of your husbands were laughing fun at me.

Jan laughs softly as well, letting the molded fabric hang over her head. The shape is oval and seems to be only about 5mm thick.

"The fabric will be as thin as this. Even thicker finishes can pass the heat through, but I think this will tell you more about the fried and grilled properties."

Jan had the dough thrown into the oil of Leten.

Patchy and creepy tones echo.

Listening to it, Rimi-Lou was shining his eyes in anticipation.

"Asta was also making a treat to fry in oil! What would it taste like if I made it so thin?

"I don't know. It's going to have a pretty interesting texture though."

The dough was just thin and the confectionery was quickly finished.

Peppered oval fabric is grilled to a fox color.

"Now put aside some time and wait for the excess oil to fall, it's done. Take a taste of this."

On another large plate, the finished product was still prepared in large quantities.

Rimi-Lou, who spoke of it, said, "Yum!" I raise my voice.

"Uh, this could be similar to the treat you fed me at the tea party before!

"Right. I used an iron kiln, but I think the texture is similar because the fabric is thin."

When I grabbed it in anticipation too, it did convey a pleasant texture like pie fabric.

It's crisp, crisp and chewy, and doesn't feel particularly oily. And the slight sweetness of the sugar and the rich flavour of the caron milk matched its texture as well.

This still seemed to bring a bigger surprise than just as much dough, and your husbands were also heavily bothered. Lema-Gate doesn't try to complain, either, chewing in mind.

"It was a long time ago, but in Castle Town there was a fashion of confectionery called fried fuwano dough with milk fat. But using too much milk fat tends to make the flavor worse, and the cost will be more expensive than the oil in the leten."

Jan keeps explaining in a pale tone.

I guess they are handy by choosing an easy and practical theme for people who have never had any ties to something called confectionery making. Even if the content itself was very preliminary, the power of the instructor's side should still be questioned to explain it rationally and concisely. In that sense, it never seemed that anyone deserved this role more than Jan, a famous confectionery maker.

"Whatever it is, fried and grilled is a rare technique in the Inn Town, so it will be easy to interest people. If you stick the fruit between the dough, it's likely to go hand in hand with the soft texture of the dough and further deliciousness."

In addition, Jan began to explain the handling of the fruit with courtesy.

The sour arrows and seals can be candied or made into confectionery ingredients by simmering with sugar. Originally sweet lamb fruit is enough to be used as is or simmered. The amount of ingredients necessary for the process, the addition or subtraction of fire, the time to simmer, etc. were solemnly explained.

"And I also use Kimmus' meat for sweets soaked in sugar and honey."

"Well, you can also use meat for sweets."

Jan nodded, "Yes," as Zise said impressively.

"It's not suitable for confectionery because it's too flavorful with caron's foot meat, but if it's Kimmus' meat, there's no problem. However, I think it would be better to rip it as thin as a yarn and finish it so you don't even know it's meat, which is deserving of confectionery"

"I see. Sure, all of this is just the way I can't think of it myself. You'll learn so much. Hey."

"If you say so, I'd appreciate it"

Jan nodded and put her neck around me again.

"So let me say this is it. And then we ask everyone by the woods."

"Yes, we will be able to taste it on this occasion, so I was wondering if we could take a moment, but please stay tuned to the end"

So it was finally our turn.

Jan, Shayla and Nicola retreat to the rear, and instead four people by the woods stand before the people.

"First, with regard to the handling of Kimmus' eggs, right? I think it would be very effective to just mix the Kimmus eggs in the dough, but there is an even more interesting way to use it, so I think I'll tell you that"

It was just recently developed by me as a way to use white as a meringue.

The excess yellow body should be condensed into the fabric first. Then, the whipped white body is combined with the fabric to give it a unique soft texture.

"Because of this, let's make the fuwano, poitan and sugar the same amount that Jan just made for us. Normally, I try to bake it on an iron plate."

While we were foaming eggs for four, the Yans were preparing other ingredients for us.

All I have to do is put a fire in the four tears and cook them up with a total leak. I managed to get all the owners of the inn with all twenty of them to go over one tasting piece at a time.

The people who mouthed it seemed to bring about as much surprise as they did when they ate Jan's fried grill.

A sneak observation shows that Lema-Gate was also very eye-catching.

"Compared to the hotcakes served by previous stopovers, I think you can feel the difference more. Basically, we only use the same ingredients then."

Next, it was about taste.

Jan was better at handling fruit, so I'm targeting sugar.

"There's something called Panem honey in the condiment that we're buying from Jagal, right? That is also very useful for making sweets, but it is an ingredient that is still more expensive than sugar. So I often use my hands on sugar instead of honey."

It is a so-called method of making caramel sauces.

Nothing is difficult. Simmer the sugar dissolved in water and add more hot water where it's browned, and that's it.

"This is the identity of the honey that was previously served on the hot cake. If you adjust the amount of hot water you add at the end, it will keep you more viscous, so I wonder if you can make good use of even snacks eaten by hand"

In addition, I applied sugar dissolved in water to the baked dough to reveal how to eat it dry.

"This way of eating, I can feel the sweetness of the sugar directly, so I wonder how I can save the sugar I mix with the dough. I think it would go very well with the fried and grilled confectionery Jan revealed earlier."

Plus, I taught him how to make raw cream.

Since most accommodations already convey the way milk fat is rubbed, the explanation is simple. By further stirring the raw cream and separating the fat content, the milk fat can be raised.

"If you bubble this with wood skewers just like you did earlier, it will have a fluffy shape like this. You can add sugar in advance, and I think it would be effective to combine it with sweet fruit. It looks quite unusual, so I wonder if the customer would be happy."

It's taken me so long to practice every single one of them and even get them to try more.

But now, there is one question that remains.

"The rest, without fuwano or poitan, I think I'll reveal something called a sweet stuffed with just kimus eggs"

"Kimmus eggs? I wonder if I can use such a poor thing to call my reputation."

To the crackle, I have expressed my opinion as Lema-Gate challenges me.

Just move your hands, and I'll make you laugh.

"You have a bad impression on Kimmus' eggs because of the lesson that poor humans eat instead of meat, right? But if you eat differently than that, I think this is a fine ingredient too. Not to mention, you get as many eggs in Genos, so it seems like a waste not to use them."

First of all, I made it easy to reveal something called a sweet egg roll with sugar.

Tapas, who spoke of it, circled his eyes, "Wow."

"It's been a long time since I've spoken of Kimmus eggs and such, but the sweet taste is quite a match."

"Yes. Even in my hometown, it felt like each person would sweeten with sugar or soak with salt."

In the meantime, the Tour-dins were preparing us for a steam cage.

This is also a lot of work, but I was willing to serve the Tea Bowl Steamed Style Pudding as well.

"The previously served 'chatch cake' can be very laborious where you powder the chatch first. I wasn't going to get the time to tell you that today, so I thought I'd tell you how to make this rare treat instead"

It is a hassle to lump this number of people, but the method itself is simple. Just mix the caron milk and sugar in the melted eggs and warm them in a steamed cage for each lidded vessel.

And when it comes to the amount of ingredients, Rimi-Lou is extremely good for me. Taste should have improved significantly over what I had served in Castle Town before.

"I don't have time, so I can only go one mouth at a time for each of you, how about that?

I will split it from the vessel into plates with a large wooden spoon and turn it to your husbands.

The people who at first had a candle face were also expressions of amazement and convincing after ascertaining the flavor.

"I'm surprised. I can't believe Kimmus' eggs ended up in such a strange dish... it's kind of magical."

Giese and others were saying that to me.

Lema-Gate also has a startling look.

In a way, this menu probably brought me the biggest surprise of the day.

"That's all I wanted to tell you from myself. Coupled with Jan's hands-on handling of fabrics and fruits, I wonder if the range of confectionery making has increased considerably"

"No, it's so spread out that I don't know where to start. Damn, I'm fucked."

Your husband, who was nearby, was wearing his head while stating so.

And your husband next door calls me, "Hey."

"Is that a steaming cage? Where are we gonna get that guy?

"I bought this for myself and Jan once."

Taking my gaze, Jan nodded.

"It is Castle Town that is sold, but I will take care of it if you want to place an order. As I said earlier, it's not that expensive."

On the spot, several of your husbands gave you names. That's all, "Tea Bowl Steamed Style Pudding" would have been my favorite.

And maybe he's had some 'givah' in my stall. Steamed cages, not just sweets, should have been very useful in the making of dishes.

"So for today, that's it. Please wait to hear from us as we hope to see the time of year again for a hands-on meeting."

In a Tapas declaration, about half your husband left the cook.

but the other half stays in the cook. That gaze seemed to be directed at me.

"Hey, sweets are good, but what happened to giva meat? Still won't open a shop in the meat city?

"Oh, just yesterday, I was able to get formal permission from Castle Town. I wonder if I can join you by the end of the Yellow Moon."

"By the end, when?" and your husbands push over.

"Uh, so far, about ten days from now, only... because the city of meat doesn't seem to know the official day until the day before"

"How much meat do you prepare? I knew you'd have to head first thing in the morning to get it?

"By appointment, I have fifteen boxes. Although the amount varies from site to site."

"Fifteen boxes? Then you can only buy five lodgings!

It was apparently based on a calculation that it would start at vendor prices from more than three boxes.

"No, but there's no prospect of how much it might sell..."

"Then all of a sudden, there won't be one who buys five or ten boxes, but there won't be one who goes out of his way to buy them at a price. Then again, it means you can only buy five lodgings."

"Right. If it doesn't sell, I'd appreciate it."

"... Is it possible that there are so many human beings left on this scene that they can be sold off?

Indeed, more than ten people remain on the spot. This would be related to another innkeeper, so if everyone was looking for giva meat, it would be imperative to sell out.

"There's no greed for fifteen boxes. Or no way, the guys in Castle Town are buying it up, right?

"Oh, yes. The arrangement was to sell the same amount in both Castle Town and Accommodation Town. If you want to sell it in Castle Town, you can turn it to Accommodation Town..."

"There's no way the nobles who haven't had more trouble with copper coins than we do won't buy them. In the stone walls, it would be more than this."

I couldn't say anything about it as far as I was concerned because I was at the disposal of Polearths and the others around it.

And Yumi, who was sneaking up on me there, pulls her sleeve when it creeps.

"You know, Asta, you're gonna sell us Giva meat out of it, right?

"Oh, yeah. I was offered the condition that the four houses I had ever had a deal with didn't have to be put in my account."

"Are you sure we're okay too? We're the only ones who haven't been able to buy Giva's food, are we?

"It's okay. That's where I checked it out."

"Great -!" Yumi breathes relief.

Your husbands watching over it were all shaved like children.

"Huh. Can you get Giva meat every time you don't have to go to the market for meat? You did a good job."

"Heh heh! I got along as soon as Asta started trading stalls! You deserve this!

It is a humi that the person is not afraid of even his elderly husband.

People finally started making their way home, shrugging their shoulders and laughing bitterly.

"Well, let me know when you find out what the day is. I'll show my face at the stall again."

"And thank you for the sweets. I'll give it a try in my own inn."

"Yes, good job"

Your husbands are leaving the kitchen.

Then Tapas, who was speaking with Jan by his side, smiled and approached us.

"Thank you all for your tiredness today, Moribe. This is the prize bronze coin that Porloise has kept for you."

"Oh, thank you very much"

This time it was a formal job from Castle Town, so rewards arise. A prize should have been paid in the same way for the tapas that provided the place.

"Good job, Lord Asta.... You've really spared no effort in communicating different technologies. It has also been a very beneficial time for me."

Jan said that to me.

"This one, Jan's handiwork was very helpful. Now again, they're going to make delicious treats."

Limi-Luu and the others are also bowing their heads to Jan, respectively.

Jan, who responded, also smiled satisfactorily.

"You talked about attending Princess Odifia's tea party once every few months. I pray to be invited on the same day."

"Yeah! Rimi wants to eat your treats again too! Thank you for today!

That's how we decided to follow Tanto's Grace Pavilion.

I guess it was stuck in the cook for about two hours with plenty. My chest was full of so much fatigue and so much more than that.

"Oh, everyone by the woods. Thank you for your time."

And, when you step out onto the street, you can speak up again.

Looking back, Giese was smiling and looking at this one.

"It was just fine. Hey. These people are waiting for you."

"Huh? Do you want us?

Instead of Giese, there were a number of long shadows lined up that could be known as Sim's birth with one eye.

One of them gratefully removes the hood of his cape.

"It's a hiccup. Asta from Fa's house. - Was it? Do you remember me?

It was, however, a magnificent man with a people-like look to the east.

In the long cut eyes, high nose. Thin lips, long face. Long dark hair is coming to one behind, and the skin is clearer and darker than the people by the woods.

However, I did recognize that eye with a strong light.

"Ah... maybe it's Kukuruel from Black Wind Cut Wings?

"Yes, I'm Kukuruel-Gi-Adumftan. Looks like you're strong."

As a people of the east, it was a very smooth word, and Kukuruel said so.

"It was above all to see you within today. It's a bump, can I have a moment?

"Huh? Can I help you?

"If you were a forest folk, you could have been anyone. Because it was only you and Rudd-Lou that I was able to bond. … There are a few things I'd like to ask you to do about the path that was cut out by the woods."

In a very depositional tone, Kukuruel said so.

I couldn't figure it out, but it didn't seem like there was any reason for me to make that offer for now.
