1074 Last Tasting and Confectionery Edition ③ ~ Proud and Joyful ~

At the next booth, Lara-Lou, in cooking attire, was chatting with a variety of people.

"Ahh, you're finally here!" Come on, Asta! "

The people gathered in front of the table came to their courtesies according to their respective ways.People of all identities were disorganized there.Among the opponents I knew well were Malfira = Naham and Naham's youngest sister, Dells and Wads, Timaro and his disciples.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's about time." How was Limi-Lou's confectionery? "

"Ahh, it was such a good taste to complain about."I'd like to eat more hungry if possible.

First, when Wadds responded like that, his partner Dells said, "What?”He peeled his eyes.

"It was definitely a good treat, but this one must have been incredibly sweet."If you eat this stuff, your chest will burn. "

"That's not true." But it might be a bit strange to be able to eat as much as you want even though it's so sweet. "

Y-Yeah, maybe that's because no sugar is used in this candy.

In response to the words of Marfila-Naham, Dells once again opened his eyes.

"You don't use sugar?You can make such sweet sweets without sugar - oh, you're using not sugar, but honey from Panam? ”

"No, no, no. Panham's nectar is supposed to be on the skin, but it's supposed to be a very small amount, so... well, rather than sugar, we were talking about using matras instead of sugar."

"Matra," responded Timaro.

“I see. Was this incredible sweetness from Matra?Matra has a distinctive flavor... but it's hard to tell because it's mixed with the fruits of the shake. ”

"Haha, yes, that's why I don't think Matra would burn her chest even though it's sweeter than sugar."

Naham's youngest sister, who gladly looked up at my sister who spoke like that, turned towards me.

"I can't tell the difference between sugar and matra at all, but it's very delicious!Indeed, this will make you want to eat more! "

"That's right." I don't want to, but I think I'll eat another one here. "

When Wadds smiled and clasped his mouth, Naham's youngest sister said, “I'm lost too!”He responded cheerfully. It was probably the two names who had no contact until the tasting, but the clarity of the two names seemed to create a synergy.

All over the place, our Siri = Row had been highly rated before she ate it, and it was getting tattered.Yumi noticed that and said, "Aha."

"Well then, let's give it to us too!"I'm sorry, but can you clear the way for me? "

"Ah! Oh, I'm sorry!Finally, I became obsessed with the conversation! "

Marfila-Naham cleared the way for us to finally get the candy.

Yumi lifted the plate and leaned her head slightly as she gazed at the sweets on it.

"It's a little sticky, but it looks like ordinary baked goods."...... if you slap me in the mouth like I know, it's going to make me laugh. "

“No, I'm sure it's the contents that matter.”

Having said that, Sily-Rowe, who had lifted the candy from the plate, stared sharply at her.

"It's heavy... apparently the fabric is very thin and packed with a wide range of ingredients."Rimi-Lew would have used Matra in the past due to its soft taste, but when it came to using it instead of sugar-- "

Well, first of all, you have to try it.

The candy was the size of a ping-pong ball, so Yumi cheeked with one mouthful.

Yeah, that's sweet! I can't beat Randall's Long Ears !

"Sure, it's sweet." But... sure enough, I don't think I'll tail as much as that candy over there.Is this the effect of Matra? "

Siri = Rowe's sharp eyes were directed at me, so I said, "Yes."

“I told you at the previous stocktaking session, why don't you try using Matra instead of sugar?I have tried and tried, but Rimi = Lou was ahead of me. "

And this was a mooncake developed by Rimi-Ruu based on my unaware knowledge.

There's no reason why I don't know the right way to make mooncakes if I'm not good at making sweets.It was Raina, who was familiar with childhood by example, who gave me a little knowledge.

"If you think of moon cakes as Japanese sweets, they're Chinese sweets!"Do you have any characteristics that are different from Japanese sweets? "

While saying that, Reina began to research the recipe for mooncake with her mobile device.On Sunday mornings, when my dad and I were busy catching up on lunch, Reina came to us with no business and often talked about such innocence.

Reina explained to me the recipe for mooncake displayed on my mobile device.I was to give Rimi = Ruu the knowledge that was remembered in it.

For the dough, add syrup or honey, salad oil or peanut oil.

Add walnuts, sesame seeds, and sesame oil to bean paste.

When baking in the oven, take out the egg yolk along the way and apply the egg yolk melted in water as a gloss.

What was left of my mind was what knowledge - and Rimi-Lou was struggling to turn it into this wonderful treat.

"This candy itself was already finished a long time ago."It was made even better with the oils of Matra and Ramampa. "

That's what Lara-Lou said, proud of her cute little sister.

Until they got the ramampa oil like peanut oil, they used the retin oil.However, since the oil of retin was not so strong in flavor, I could only feel the effect that the dough would be somewhat smoother.

The Ramampa oil used this time is probably a very small amount.I didn't feel the flavor of that peanut oil directly, it just felt like the fragrance had been added.

But anyway, it's delicious.

I've never eaten mooncakes so much, I don't know how close they are to the real thing.However, there was no mistake that it was delicious.

Due to the addition of hoboi and hoboi oil to the anko, the fragrance is more pronounced than the usual confectionery.And with the blessing of using Matra instead of sugar, it was not at all intensely sweet.

"We have already learned how to handle the fruits of Bre.If you think about it, it's not as novel as it sounds. ”

In a somewhat firm tone, Timaro said so.

“But the fruit of the shake also creates a new flavor by adding the oils of hoboi and hoboi - and above all, this sweetness with matra is intense.It's intense, but it's pristine... and there's no persistence in sweets that are too sweet.This should be a medal-worthy performance. "

"I don't care about medals."But I'm sure it's a big deal for you to say that. ”

Having said that, Lara-Lou showed her white teeth.

"If you want, you can tell Rimi directly."I'm sure you'll be delighted. "

"Well, if there's time."...... Besides, I haven't touched the sweets of Lord Diamond and Lord Yang yet, so there is no possibility of retracting the foreword. "

"That's why the medal part is good!"...... Ah, how was Yumi and Sily = Rowe? "

"Yeah! That's a good taste without complaints!"It's as sweet as [Randall's Long Ears], but I like it better here! "

"...... I also felt that it was doing great.I fully agree with Timaro when he says it's pure and intense. ”

Siri = Rowe and Timaro were also very good at making sweets, so they were both quite impatient.

Then Timaro calls me sneakily, squeezing his fat face.

"By the way, Lord Asta, I'd like to ask you a question about Lord Tour-Din's confectionery... I wonder if it was also created by Lord Asta's handiwork?"

"No, I just conveyed a vague image - ah, no, impressions and thoughts.There was such a thing in my hometown, but I didn't know how to make it. "

"Well, it's no exaggeration to say that the confectionery there was invented by Lord Tour-Din on his own."... so you didn't disclose how it was made at the review meeting the other day? "

"Ah, no. After a sampling meeting, Toole-Din finished the candy."I think we should disclose how we're going to make it when we get the chance. ”

“Hmm. You didn't dare to hide the method of making it for today.”

I questioned Timaro, who looked obscure.

“Do you think that Tour-din would go out of his way to imitate it for the sake of the Medal?”

"Ah, no, that's not what I meant... but it's still not been ten days since the review meeting.I wonder if I could devise such a novel candy for such a short period of time..... "

“I'm sure that Tour-Din wanted to finish that candy for Odifia as soon as possible.That's how it came to fruition. ”

Timaro took a deep breath and then shook his head loosely.

“We truly admire the talent and hard work of Lord Tour-Din.He could be the most skilled cook in confectionery making in Genos. ”

Huh, you want to leave the diamonds out?

“It's just a story of possibilities,” Timaro said, turning a blink of an eye.But Timaro, drunk by diamonds, finally rated it that way.

At that time, the sound of the reeking bell rang, and it was told that the noble people would circle the hall.

"I-If you relax, you'll run out of time!"Asta, let's go get some Tulle-Din sweets! "

Yumi clung to it, and Siri = Rowe and I turned to the last booth.

Four of them were waiting for them: Vulcus, Tartumai, Nail and Jeze.Today, Vulcus seemed to be stuck with the nails.

Asta-sama, did Asta-sama give you a hand with this candy?

At the beginning of the opening, Vulcus asked me such a question.

I'll give you the same answer I gave you earlier, with a bitter smile on my face.

"I see..." Yumi put her hand on the table, looking sideways at Vulcus.

"Anyway, we'll let you eat too!"... wow, what is this! It smells so good! "

"This is Ramampa's oil, isn't it?"The combination of Ramampa's oils with a variety of ingredients turned it into such a fragrance. ”

Siri = Rowe said so in a calm voice.

"But... this is the candy that Tour-Din specializes in, Rokki."Has Timaro never eaten ryukyu? "

"Oh, maybe so."On some occasions, I might have spoken about it once... but whatever it is, it's the ingredients that matter. ”

Toole-Din came up with a ramen papaya cream that wasn't just peanut cream.

Of course, I don't know how to make peanut cream.However, by the appearance of Ramampa's oil, there was such a thing, until it stimulated the memory nest.

That's why I only told them, "If I smashed Ramampa and added it to the cream, it might be as good a ingredient as chocolate cream."It was in the hands of Tour-Din that Raman Pac-Cream was completed after repeated trials and errors.

"... anyway, let me give you a taste"

Siri = Rowe, who was mouthing the candy, opened his eyes in astonishment.

Next to that, Yumi said, "Delicious!”I screamed.

"This is so delicious!" It's so sweet and it tastes so weird! "

"This is about... not just Ramampa's oil, but Ramampa itself?"But what kind of workmanship did you do to Ramampa? "

"I was also deeply surprised."If Lord Tour-Din was conceived, you will have no choice. ”

When Vulcus answered like that, the time Tuul-Din came to us.

As Vulcus silently stepped out, Tartumai grabbed his arm from the side.

"Lord Tour-din is bringing noble people with him."Please show some courtesy, Vulcus. "

The adorable apron dress of Tour-din was surrounded by Eurifia, Odifia and Zay-din.Toole-Din, who was telling us happily with a smile, looked somewhat embarrassed towards us.

"Ah, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your hard work."... is there something I can do for you? "

"Everyone seems to be curious about Toole-Din's sweets."

When I answered that on behalf of all of us, his Eurifia smiled, "Yes."

"It's true that this confectionery was a wonderful product."Odifia's floating too, and I'm in trouble. ”

Without listening to such annotations, Odifia's grey eyes twinkled.The foot is hidden in the bottom of the dress, but I am worried that it is properly attached to the ground.

For now, if I teach you how to make ramen pacchetto cream, you'll be satisfied with the curiosity of the Vulcans.

"Oh, is that so?" I haven't done so much elaborate work..... "

The ladies of Lido had left their seats, so while refilling the table with new confectionery, Tourer-Din began to think and explain.

First of all, Tour-Din carefully smashed the fried ramampa, stretched it with the oil of ramampa, and then added it to the fresh cream separately, but now it seems that the taste and texture were not familiar with each other.

Next, Tour-din tried to spread Ramampa with ingredients that went well with the cream, such as caron milk, cream and yolk.It is said that the milk fat was chosen from among them.

Speaking of which, there was something called peanut butter in my hometown.If I had remembered his existence early, it might have eased Toul-din's struggle - but either way, Toul-din got to the right answer on his own.I don't need to use Ramanpa oil anymore, but if I use it, the flavor will be even richer, so I add it.All that was left was sugar and a small amount of salt, and Tour-din was able to find a satisfying taste.

”Add Ramampa oil, cream, sugar, and salt to the crushed Ramampa, and then add the curry to it... that's all it was made of.”

When Sirie-Rowe asked in a voice that killed her emotions, Toole-Din nodded, “Yes.”

"But, since you taught Asta how to make it in the first place... nothing is in my hands"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,It's all Tuul-Din's fault for turning it into such a splendid treat. ”

“So, is Lord Tour-din willing to reveal the way this confectionery was made?”

In Vulcus' vague words, Tour-din nods “Yes” again.

"Rather than this confectionery, it's a way of making Ramampa Kurikumu."Ramanpakuri-it's just ingredients, so isn't it important to use them to make sweets? "

"... if I was to use that ramen puzzle to make crude sweets, I would feel as comfortable as if I was wasting rare ingredients"

Vulcus took a small breath in the open sea.

Then Vulcus was summoned by a nail that had remained silent for a while.

"Vulcus has little interest in confectionery, so it seems that he was thinking of using this confectionery as a reference for cooking.But can something as sweet as this be used in cooking? ”

"The sweetness of this confectionery is because sugar is used.We've been working on the compatibility of ramampa oil and milk fat, but using ramampa itself for this purpose is... I guess it's something that Karon doesn't know.I'm just ashamed of my unknown. ”

Having said that, Vulcus returned the bugs.

"Anyway, the doubts have been dispelled."Let's talk to Nail, Jeze, and Rimi-Lew. "

It was as if the nails had even joined the Vulcan faction.

Seeing that off, Siri = Rowe seemed a little lonely.When she noticed this, Yumi put her hand on Cily-Rowe's shoulder and said, "Hey."

"Do you want to be with your master too?"Then we don't have to shy away from it. "

"Ah, no... if I only had it with Vulcus, I would have learned everything... I would have learned from Vulcus as a chef anyway, so it would be a waste of time."Then I thought I could help Vulcus research by spreading the word with my own strength...... "

"Ahh, it looks like you can't even say what you want to say when you're with your master!"What, if you think you're so sweet, you're thinking a lot! "

Well, who's the sweetheart!

"Sounds good," I decided to put an end to the quarrel between friendly combinations.

"We're finally on a tour, so let's finish the tasting for now."...... Eurifia, Odifia, and Zei-Din, again later. "

“Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing you, Dakarmas.”

Well, let's just keep the wind blowing.“I don't want any special greetings from noble people” is the custom of the tasting arranged by His Highness Dakarmas.

(I wonder who will be awarded the medal.)

I don't know who to throw the stars at yet.The most familiar with the tongue were the rolls and mooncakes, but Diamond and Jan stood out in terms of novelty and deliciousness.

But, well, it doesn't mean that we value the whereabouts of the medal itself.

When I saw Toole-Din smiling happily and Odifia looking up with her glowing eyes, my thoughts deepened.

◇

That is the time limit for voting.

Due to the fact that there are only 6 items, today the time is shorter than usual.Because of that, I felt like I had reached that limit in no time.

Thanks to you, I didn't have much time to exchange words with noble people.During the tally, I tried to smile at the reflair, and my pink eyes were dazzling.

"You look good, Asta and Ei = Fa.Did you enjoy today's tasting? "

"Yeah, that's fine too.... erm, I'm sorry for the delay in greeting you."

"Oh, I was never offended by such a thing."If you want to know my true nature, could you stop by a little bit more? "

When I and Ei = Fa approached your side, Refreire whispered in a cute way.

"It's been a month since the royals arrived, isn't it?"I didn't expect it to be this long.... do you still remember the words that you wanted to invite me and Chiffon = Chel to the forest? "

“Of course, I thought, as soon as the royals came home.”

"Yes, I hope so."

As Refreire raised his face, Chiffon-Chell, who was holding back immediately, smiled.Refreire looks back at her with a childish look that is a bit sweet on her mother.

And when we greeted Vermes and Princess Del Share, His Highness Dakarmouth returned to the hall.

"Thank you for your patience."Now that we've finished counting the stars, we'll announce the results. ”

As usual, Jagal's maiden name is declared in a taut voice.

"Today, 112 people participated in the taste comparison.As before, people from 1st to 3rd place will be awarded medals, so please think like that. "

There are six types of dedication today.Then the probability of receiving a medal is 50%.

In the hall where excitement was hidden beneath a thin skin, the voice of the maiden echoed loudly.

"I will now announce it." The first place will be taken by Mr. Toole-Din, who has won 31 stars. "

The thin skin was dumbfounded and a furious cheer enveloped the hall.

While listening to that, Princess Dell Share whipped her ears at me.

"It's a natural result." The confectionery of Tour-din-sama was perfectly complete and novel. ”

I see. In fact, I was throwing stars at Rimi-Lou.

"Eh, why!?" Princess Dell Share raised her voice, and I almost hurt my eardrums. I unintentionally withdrew.

A raging light blinked in Ai = Fa's eyes, and Princess Dell Share smiled apologetically.And then he pulled my sleeve out.

That's right, Master Rimi-Ruu's sweets were great too, but if it's novelty, don't you think Lord Toole-Din is better?

"Since I had something similar to both sweets in my hometown, there's nothing novel about it."As a result, it was determined that the degree of completion was higher than that of Limi = Lou.... or maybe Tuul-Din has just finished developing Raman Pacchetto, so I think we can start working on a full-fledged treat with it. ”

"Hmm, I see. Well, if you're in a different position, you'll feel differently, so I'll be convinced."

In any case, it was Tuul-Din who was awarded the first medal.

The man was frightened, but the women of Rid smiled proudly.Odifia, who was watching over it, was shaking her body, and it was easy to imagine Zei = Din's feelings.

(I don't know what I would say if I didn't put the stars in it... but I'm sure you're the best confectioner in Genos, Tuul-Din)

In my chest, too, emotions flashed with unexpected momentum.

I don't care about the results of the flavor comparison, but the emotions that had some tremendous mass came to me that I had been thinking like that for a while.

That girl with the eyes of a dead fish at the Sun's house -- a girl who could not even laugh because she was always wasting her time -- now won the championship among the select cooks.I couldn't be happier with Toole-Din's victory, even if the other people's sweets were great without a price tag.

(I knew Ardath and Maiton would be so proud to be awarded a medal.)

I was finally able to feel that feeling when my important compatriots won the tasting that I didn't attend.

This is the kind of admiration I have for my opponent.It was a proudness that could never be beaten by the power of the forestside, the tournament and the Totos early-running tournament.

When I was awarded the first place in the tasting, could I have been so pleased?

If that's the case, it was just as proud of me.

"The second place goes to Diamond, who won 23 stars."

Xiao Niang's words rushed through the hall that was still vanishing.So a new cheer burst forth.

"The third places are Jan-sama and Limi-Lu-sama, who won 21 stars."

Diamond, Jan, and Rimi-Lew were both awarded medals in a manner commensurate with their temperament.

Rimi-Lew was unfortunately in third place, but I decided to send a different applause.

“The fourth place will be the [Arrow's Bud Pavilion], which won nine stars, and the fifth place will be the [Long Ears Pavilion of Randall], which won seven stars.”

As his maiden name retreated, His Highness Dakarmas' general review began to be told.

It seems that Tour-din's confectionery was considered to have outperformed the group due to its completeness and novelty.Raman Pacé, which was a nostalgia for me, was worth a fortune to the people here.

Diamond confectionery seemed to be valued more for its simple taste than for its "mysterious pleasure of eating real flowers".There seemed to be a certain number of layers that would have voted for another candy if that candy hadn't mimicked the shape of a flower.

It is said that Jan's confectionery received support from the people of the castle town due to its delicate taste, and Rimi-Lou's confectionery received support from the people of the station town and Jagal because of its simple and powerful taste.He also said that the way he handled Noghigo and Matra, ingredients from the southern kingdom, was excellent.

The [Arrow's Breaststone Pavilion] was still a perfect match between Ricke and Matra.Although I was willing to buy two fruits from the southern kingdom at the same time, I was also told that it might have been a little brave.Also, since it was a bun last time, there seemed to be a lot of voices wanting to try different sweets.

Although the confectionery of [Randall's Long Ears Pavilion] was by no means uncommon, its intense sweetness gave rise to a subtractive effect rather than an additional point.With the same amount of sweetness, Rimi-Lou's mooncake, which was somewhere refreshing and pleasant to eat, became a powerful rival.

All of those reviews were very frustrating for me.

I can feel the pain that everyone seriously threw the stars after they were troubled.I myself was throwing a star at Rimi = Lou with the same desire.

So many people come to the tasting with such seriousness.

And in two days, I'll be in the middle of a critique.

I was able to feel a sense of urgency that I hadn't felt before the tasting, and I was motivated to surpass it.
