1073 Last Tasting and Confectionery Edition (2) - Sweet Battle

Once the chefs had introduced themselves, it was time to start a real meal in the Great Hall.

The people gathered at the scene line up at each booth while suppressing the feeling of departure.As I and Ei = Fa tried to follow suit, Yumi, who had grabbed Cily = Rowe's arm, followed.

"Hey, if you don't mind, why don't you go around with me?"If there were people from the forestside, post towns, and castle towns, I would be able to hear all kinds of opinions! "

Yeah. I don't care… I wonder if Luia and Roy are acting differently?

"Luia is going around with the Terrier-Masses."... you must be worried that Levi might be obsessed with cooking and letting go of Terrier = Mass.I don't think I need to worry about it.

That's what Yumi said as she laughed calmly in her usual tone.

"So Roy pushed Raina = Lou and the others!"If Roy is with you, Cily = Rowe will hide behind Suguso, so let's go. "

"There's no reason for me to rely on Roy in a situation like this!"

Whatever it is, there are only six booths today, so you will encounter someone you know everywhere you go.However, if you keep going through this many tasting sessions, your approximate opponent will have a familiar face.

As if to prove it, when we stepped into the nearest line, there was a figure of Naudis at the end of the line.Also, the master of the castle restaurant, "Yuwido", exchanged words.

"Oh, you... you must be Lord Vulcus's disciple."

When the owner of [Yotsuwa-do] called out in a faint tone, Siri = Rowe waved Yumi's arm and bowed, “Thank you.”

"I've heard that you are more skilled than Master Vulcus in confectionery."In that case, I guess you should be the one who prepares the sweets. "

Siri = Rowe said few words and only answered "no".

The owner of [Yotsuwado] shrugged his shoulders in a carefree manner and resumed the conversation with Nawdis.Looking at this situation, Yumi whispered to Siri = Rowe.

"Something subtly feels bad."Do you have any bad connections with that person? "

Sily = Rowe responded "No" with a voice that was almost audible to me as I stood next to her.

“However, many of the castle's cooks are against Vulcus.I don't think the disciple will be able to show a sweet face. ”

"Hmph. You have high morale."

"That's right.... That's why I think it's a bit surprising that this person is so enthusiastic about talking to the owner of the station town like that."

Indeed, the master of the [Four Wings Hall] seemed to be speaking to Nawdis with considerable enthusiasm.From the fragments of the conversation, which sounds fragmented, it seems that he is arguing about Jagal cooking.

"The [Southern Great Tree Pavilion] 's Nawdis is also a medal-winning skill."Isn't it the same as your master falling for Granny Jeze or something? "

"... the expression" unanimous "is not easy to explain."

"I mean, it was sticky."It's like talking about Granny Jezebel.... hahaha, no! If only you could swallow it lightly! "

Hmm, it's not swollen!

While Yumi and Sily-Rowe were having such a smiling exchange, the booth table approached.It doesn't take long for me to pick up the plates of confectionery on the table, no matter how many rows are lined up.

"Go ahead, take any dishes you like."

A familiar young man points at the table with a smile.Wearing a vermilion shoulder strap in a white cooking suit, he was an employee of Randall's Long Ears Pavilion.

"Ahh, that was your sweets."Today's sweets also look delicious! "

"Yes, my husband is proud of his sweets."

We picked up the plates one by one and quickly retracted to the side.

Nawdis, who was chewing the candy one foot before the other, said, "Oh!”he exclaimed in admiration.

"This is also a brilliant performance!"It feels like your tongue is melting! "

None the less, I had the candy tested.

It looks like a baked goods that doesn't matter.The shape is round and thick, and there is something like red jam rising up from the center indentation.However, it was more opaque than the fruit jam that I had taught Tour-Din and the others, and it seemed to have a really nasty texture.

"Wow, that's sweet!" Hey, this may be too sweet! "

Siri = Rowe's very serious gaze was sharpened by such a noisy Eumi.

"However, this confectionery... also feels like it has some special craftsmanship."

"Special? Really? It didn't feel as special as the last candy."

"That's because you're used to eating sweets from the forest."At the very least, there is no such thing as a confection in the castle town of Genos. ”

As I became more and more curious, I also ate the sweets.

Then - the taste as expected and the unexpected taste spread out on the tongue.

As expected, it was the taste of the fruit.As can be predicted from the red shade, the main one would be an arrow similar to a strawberry.However, since the flavor that could not be obtained by arousal alone was woven into it, it seemed that Amansa, which resembled lambskin and blueberries similar to apples, was also used.

So what was unexpected was the flavor of the cheese.This inn also offered sweets similar to cheesecake at the last tasting, but the cheese flavor was so strong that it could not be beaten.

Moreover, it is extremely sweet because a lot of honey and sugar are also used.The dough kneaded in the cheese was so heavy that the red jam was as sticky as it seemed and not so easy to swallow, so the dense sweetness was perhaps more noticeable.

"Yeah. It's a bit unpleasantly sweet in Ai = Fa."I wonder if Yumi doesn't like it either? "

"No, I'm not so bad at it, but come on."I heard a scary rumor a little bit, didn't I? "

"Scary rumors?"

"Yes. Sweet treats tend to be overweight, so the lady in the castle town is practicing masquerade and riding the tots. That's what Refreire said."... is that true? "

"Oh, there must be a side to that."These sweets are rich in sugar and fat, and they're based on fuwano and poitan. "

"Wow, that's a big surprise! I'm prone to flesh. Come on."Since I heard that, I've become a little scared of eating sweets. "

Ahaha. If you can move what you eat, don't worry about it.

As Yumi and I reluctantly spoke, Siri = Rowe stepped forward with a serious look on her face.

"More than that, this confectionery works."Doesn't Asta feel anything special?What if you know how to make these sweets? "

“Something special, is it? That's right.The texture feels a little bit unique, but... "

"Yes, the texture." Milk fat and cheese must be used in large quantities for this.The fruits are arousal, lamam and amansa, with sugar and panam nectar... and maybe lamampa fruits because they also have some aromatic flavor. ”

“I see. The combination of ingredients doesn't seem so weird.Is the cheese a bit unusual? "

"Yes, but this texture is unique.It's like concentrating a lot of ingredients... that's what makes it feel like you're eating a nutritious mass. "

When I spilled my voice, "Ahh," the little Sirie-Rowe clutched at me like she was stretching out her back.

What is it? Do you have any thoughts?

"Ah, no, it's not about the cooking method, but... my husband said he grew up in Abouf."So is Abouf in the North on the border with Mahidra?I felt that this was the environment that gave birth to this kind of confectionery. "

“Why does a cold place give rise to such sweets?”

"If it's cold, you'll lose your strength, so you'll need to nourish yourself."Wasn't there a way to concentrate ingredients so that they could be nourished quickly? ”

Cirie = Rowe frowned wildly as she stuck it up my nose.

"... if it's cold, will you lose your strength?"Well, during the rainy season, it's said that you should be careful of the disease.... "

"Oh, I see. It's not that cold around here."Gerd and Mahudra said it was cold enough to need fur clothes, so they probably need more nourishment than we do living in warmer places. ”

"I see... that's why we created this kind of confectionery... so we need to see if there are any unique cooking methods in cooking."

Then, when Cily-Rowe had a thoughtful face, Ai-Fa, who was silently watching the situation, whispered, "Hey."

"You don't have to stand up for words."You shouldn't imitate your master to such a point. "

Siri = Rowe looked at Ei = Fa and then turned his face bright red and jumped away from me.

"I-I was just listening to Asta's words with interest!"Now, please don't be such a deviant! "

"I didn't do anything to avoid it."I just stayed on the advice that I was too close. "

"Oh, oh!" There is a custom around the forest that you should not touch the opposite sex, so you have to be careful! "

Yumi grinned cheerfully and held Siri = Rowe's shoulder.

While returning a bitter smile to Ai = Fa, who was grinning sideways, I let out a voice saying, "Okay."

"Well, let's put off any further discussion and eat a street of sweets."Today, you're limited to less time than usual. "

So we decided to head for the second booth.

You've just broken up with your brothers and sisters.The faces were those of Yun-Sudra, Ray-Matua, and Fay-Baim.

Oh, Asta, this looks like the [Arrow's Bud Pavilion].

Without Yun-Sudra telling me, there was a giant Rema-Gate on the other side of your booth.She was allowed to come as a non-voting attendee.

"Good job, Lema-Gate." Today's sweets are... dumplings? "

Hmm. You said dumplings again.

Even today, Lema-Gate was quite impressive, wrapped in a luxurious outfit and dazzling primary colour makeup.I didn't see your daughter who was helping me, and 80% of the sweets on the table were gone.

The sweets that were prepared there were dumplings with a light purple color.Even at the last tasting, "Arrow's Breast Pavilion" served Amansa's dumplings in blue and purple.

(So this is the shade this time? In other words, this is--)

When I tasted the sweets, they tasted as expected and unexpected again.The dough was kneaded with raisin-like fruit juice and pulp, and the inside was covered with dried persimmon-like matra sauce.

Matra is carefully crushed, and it seems that caron milk and cream are added.The dough was melting soft, but the sticky Matra filling was so sticky that it could not be beaten by the baked goods of [Randall's Long Ears Pavilion].

"Huh, you're using both of the fruits from the Southern King's City?"In just a few days, that's a lot of money! "

When Yumi spoke up like that, Lema-Gate said, "Hmm!”he breathed.

"If it's my turn to cook, there's no making it up."If the dumplings are successful, you can't beat them anywhere! "

“It's true that this inn's dumplings have a unique texture....... Perhaps this cook was born in another land that is not Genos? "

Cirie-Rowe pushed in and asked, and Lema-Gate intercepted it with a muddled face.

"My kitchen turn is a raw genus."It's just that I'm very good at my skills. "

"I see. I wonder more than ever why there is such a wonderful confectioner in a post town where confectionery did not exist until recently - this confectioner must be an application of the method originally used in cooking."Then I think I'll be satisfied. ”

Lema = Gate suddenly had a sloppy look on her face and nicked Siri = Rowe.

"What, you're a girl with a lot of literature."Do you have any complaints about my sweets? "

“I didn't complain.Were there any misleading words? "

Siri = Rowe looked upset, and Yumi said, "Well, well!" - [sic]

"Lema-Gate said this to no one, so I won't be annoyed!"Lema = Gate isn't too clingy with a daughter like her own. "

Hmm. If it were my child, I'd raise a girl like this.

Then, her daughter, who came back with a plate in her hands, said, "What are you making a fuss about?"He called out.

"Oh, you guys from around the forest again?"Even though you're facing each other like this, you're still a master who won't grow up. "

"However, today's opponent was a person from the castle town."I want you to be calm about the day you're dressed in such a fine outfit. "

Yumi and her daughter smiled similarly somewhere.Although Yumi is much younger, she is a very similar name in the sense of having a nasty sexuality.If there were many opportunities to meet face-to-face in the stall village, the rapport seemed to be deepening secretly.

"What, you didn't even let me work alone and arrange sweets for you?"You're a worthless master. "

"Oh, my God, that's your job, isn't it?"

Lema-Gate filled her daughter's plate with sweets and held them with her big mouth.

Suddenly, his face gave a sinister expression.

"... this is a very unusual candy, too."

"Oh, no sweets are too flourishing."Well then, you can't hope for a medal. "

"That's awesome! Hurry up and work!"

Today's Rema-Gate seemed more uptight than usual, so we decided to disperse early.

Yun-Sudra and the others were going round about the other way, so it was farewell on the spot.As she headed to the next booth, Siri = Row still seemed unable to fit in.

"I still only have two kinds of sweets in my mouth, but [Arrow's Bud Pavilion] will not be awarded a medal."Those sweets weren't as complete as their predecessors. ”

"Huh, I see?" I thought I'd taste just as good.

"... what do you think of Asta?"

“That's right. I thought it was delicious, too, but I didn't think Ricke and Matra would go so well together.”

“That's right, we didn't see any problems with Ricke and Matra, but we shouldn't have combined them.In addition, the buns have a unique texture, but they have been shown at previous tastings.The low level of completion and the scarcity of novelty make it impossible to collect stars. ”

"Wow, that's tough!" So I didn't even get a medal. "

When Yumi said so, Siri = Rowe suddenly felt in a panic.

"Ah, did you offer a dish that you didn't dare to make?"So it was slightly less complete, but I think it was by no means inferior to other dishes. ”

"You don't have to rush around like that!"I don't give a damn about the ranking!... you're so cute, aren't you? "

"Hey, hey! Don't stick to me!"

It seems that the two people who were originally friendly deepened their rapport even more by having a tasting party.

While smiling at it, he arrived at the next booth.There, a group of people from the East who were waiting for it bowed to each other expressionlessly.

"Asta, thank you for your hard work. Today, the people around the forest also served wonderful sweets."

The first person to raise his voice like that was Kukuel, the leader of the [Black Wind Cutting Feather].His eyes are sharp, but his waist is soft; he is a people of the east, of magnificent age.

And on the left and right, Pratica and Alyshna were still holding out today.The other people of the east are stuck and separated, but these three are always acting together.There were also three people with fragmented backgrounds, but was there something that matched the horses?

"However, the sweets of other people are also excellent, so they are likely to be very troublesome compared to the flavors.Genos is home to some of the best cooks. ”

“I see. I'm only proud to be told that by Kukuel, who is traveling through so many different lands.”

“Yes, I couldn't have thought of that two years ago.At that time, it was very difficult to find food and sweets that satisfied my heart, both in the castle town and in the station town.... but it's just a dish I can't taste in my homeland, and it's exciting enough for me. "

If it wasn't for the people of the east, it would be a scene where even one of the smiles is likely to spill.

And along the way, Platica's purple eyes were burning sharply.

"... it seems that Pratica is also very stimulated."

“Yes, I am reminded of my immaturity.I give priority to culinary training, but I was also made to feel painful because I couldn't do it twice. ”

Pratica has also been spending more days in the castle town recently, so it was the first time that Tour-din and Rimi-Ruu had tasted the sweets prepared today.Those sweets were certainly amazing for me.

"In the meantime, may I have this candy?"I wonder whose work it is. "

"Next door, it was Diamond. So, it's Yang, right?"

As Plattica said, when the guests disappeared from the front of the booth, Nicolas's Buddha's face appeared there.

"Nicola, finally we meet. Are you tasting?"

"Yes, I got the sweets next door."I don't put my legs up too much because the first time, I lose my plate quickly. ”

Because it is a simple treat today, it has a high turnover rate.Even the task of arranging a reduced amount of sweets seemed to be quite hasty.

As a result of Nicolas's work, the table is lined with confectionery plates.We decided to give it a taste, too.

Jan is also a baked goods.After all, baked goods are dominant in castle towns.

The sweets are cut into squares, and there are layers of mille-feuille peering through the sections.The ingredients stacked alternately with the dough were soft yellow and seemed to have a sweet hue.

"... something is glowing"

Alishna, who lifted the dish, said so, tilting her head like a graceful sham cat.

Indeed, there was a slight spill of translucent material from the gap between the fabric and the ingredients, which reflected the light of the chandelier.The texture is like a muddy liquid, but it seems to coagulate firmly in a spilled form.

Could this be a chatch mochi?

“Yes, I have a chatch between the fabric and the ingredients.”

"Huh. If you burn it in the kiln, the chatch mochi will melt and become a mess, but it's still in good shape."

When I repeated my words like that, Nicola twisted herself with a dazed face.

"I am only a disciple, so I can't judge whether the method devised by Master Taruyan can be spoken in this place."... because Chatch Mochi is something I learned from Asta-sama in the first place, I don't think Yang-sama will ever cover it up... "

"Oh, I'm sorry I embarrassed you.If you are concerned, please don't worry about it, as Jan will be contacting you directly. "

And it came to pass, when he had mouthed the candy, that the true ingredient of the yellow ingredient was the sweet potato, which was nogigo.Caron milk and milk fat were added, and the slightly sweet no-gigo paste was caught in a thin dough of fuwano along with the chatch mochi.

Probably No Gigo is taking advantage of the sweetness of the ingredients.The dough was also rich in cinnamon-like flavors, but it seemed that sugar and so on were rarely used.Very elegant and pristine taste.

And the texture of the plump chatch mochi is a delightful accent.Since the chatch mochi was supplied inside rather than on the surface, the condition of the chatch mochi was completely different from that of the ingredients and dough.

"...... The treatment of Noghigo is perfect."There is no ingenuity in the dough, but let's be the first to take advantage of the taste of Noh Gigo and the texture of Chatch Mochi.Also, since the method of making chatch mochi was made stubborn at the stocktaking meeting, it can now be handled by everyone... but it seems that the method of handling the person named Jan, who has mastered it first, is still sophisticated. "

Siri = Rowe said that in a voice that seemed to kill emotions somewhere.

Yu Mi stood by and said plainly, "That's right!".

"This is so delicious!" For now, maybe the best!Ahh, I'd like to try using No 'Gigo too.Because we have a lot of drinkers, sweets don't sell very well. "

"Then, how about a stall?"It's interesting to see what kind of sweets we make in the West Feng Pavilion. "

When Pratica grabbed her words sharply, Yumi grinned like a child.

"Perhaps that's a good idea! If you can make sweets in the kitchen, we can sell them together at the Okoyaki stall!"...... I don't care about my story.Anyway, this sweets are so delicious! "

“Thank you,” Nicolas bows politely at the top of the Buddha.

Kukuruel and Alyshna were silent, but their black eyes also had a glow that seemed to satisfy them.

"Really, all the sweets are doing great."... well, I'll see you later. "

Say goodbye to the east group and we'll be on our way to the next booth.As Platica mentioned earlier, the next thing is Diamond's confectionery.On the spot, Levi, Terrier-Mass, Luia, and the master of the "Zelia's Sword Pavilion" gathered in a flock, and several people from the castle town also played.

"Somehow, you're in a crowd."...... Levi, is something wrong? "

"Oh, Asta, no, it's like I want to eat something."

The people on the spot were simply admiring the exterior while surrounding the booth table.This accumulated people.

So we were allowed to peek over the table - and it was certainly a marvelous sight.The table was decorated with colorful flowers.

“Every confectionary tastes the same, so please help yourself to any dishes you like.”

The assistant young man was also very proud at the same time as he was in trouble.

Flower candy is a specialty of diamonds, and it was also revealed at the first tasting.However, this time, the intensity was different.

Each flower is very small.Probably on a flat fabric about five centimeters in diameter, some kind of material is decorated with a flower pattern.

However, the flowers were not only of different shades, but also of different shapes.There were elongated petals like garberas, small petals like hydrangeas, and large petals like clams - about ten varieties of flowers seemed to be missing, if not estimated.

Moreover, the plates on which they are placed all have a deep green color.All the more so, it looks like a flower garden.

Of course, even if the flowers have different shapes, the size is uniform, so it doesn't feel like it's real.It is too unnatural to say that all flowers of different shapes are the same size.But it also seemed to create the atmosphere of a work of art that cutely defaulted on the flower fields.

"Heehee. This is definitely a waste to eat!"... but if you don't eat it, it won't start. "

Yumi reached out from the wall and picked up a plate.

In the free space, a young assistant places a new dish with a groaning touch.

Me and Cily-Rowe also apprenticed Yumi and escaped from the manhole.So it seemed like people were thinking of it, and they started holding the plates one by one.

"Hmm, it's more like a decoration than food!"But the most important thing is the flavor. "

"You're right." But if it's a diamond, the taste should be perfect. "

We three at the same time mouthed the candy. [M]

As soon as the sweet aroma came out of your nose.It was as plump and refreshing as a real flower.

The ingredients that shaped the petals were creamy and melted quickly.The dough underneath was also extremely soft and shattered before I used my teeth.

As a result, the floral aroma and sweetness spread even more strongly into my mouth.

What kind of ingredients are used in this?Some fruits and nectar are not recognizable, but they are intricately intertwined, weaving together a completely unrecognizable aroma and sweetness.As a result, only the feeling of "like a real flower" came to mind.

"Wow... hey, have you ever eaten flowers with Asta or Siri = Rowe?"

Huh? No, I don't think so.

"Neither do I." We've heard that there are edible flowers in your Sims, but they're not in circulation in Genos. ”

"I've chewed flowers before when I was tiny."I thought it must be delicious because it smells so good!... but my tongue is so sinister, I'm really frustrated. "

Having said that, Yumi laughed with a slightly illuminated face.

"If the flowers at that time had tasted like this, I would have loved it too, so I thought something like that"

Yeah. I'm sure that's how Diamond made this candy.

Thinking like that, this deformed flower also feels like a child's painting.Perhaps the theme of this candy was "childishness".

(Really, Diamond is an amazing person.... no, Yang and the others are amazing enough.)

And I already know how awesome the confectionery of Tour-din and Limi-Roux are waiting for.

I decided to take a step forward to reconfirm that awesomeness.
