Housekeeper of the Hundred Blossom Palace
Episode 102 Autumn
It was early, and the season was about to change in autumn.
Yumei came back from Kai to Momihana Shrine, a rear shrine, and was eager to talk about a souvenir or a souvenir.
As time passed, the usual life of the janitor was waiting.
Hmm, calm down.
Rain sister looked up at the blue sky, which was completely autumn patterned, sweeping up the leaves that had recently increased and become bulky.
In autumn, the Mid-Autumn Festival - what Japan calls the Mid-Autumn Famous Moon - is coming.
In the area near the border where Rain sister lived, it was customary to eat a confectionery called mooncake during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Mooncake is a confection that was sold as a gift for lunch viewing in the previous life, and what is well known is the size of the palm, even if it is large. However, the mooncakes that were made around the border were as big as a hole cake.
After the countrywomen gathered to make it, they distributed it to each family, and a large number of them were eating it separately.
--That wasn't enough for me all the time...
Yes, by the time I arrived at Rain Sister's house at the far end of the border, the mooncakes were always gone.
It is difficult to tell whether such a large thing is not needed because it is a single family or not.
--Sure, even though there's only one person, it's a waste of cake size, but come on!
It seems that the idea of making small mooncakes for single households for such demand was not in the peripheral village.
Rain sister has been making mooncakes on her own for the past few years because it is so regrettable, but she has not been able to make a satisfactory mooncake because of the lack of ingredients available and the fact that it is always in production.
Mooncake making is deep.
However, this year, Mina (Maina) is said to have eaten mooncakes, so we made a promise to make them together.
If you eat dumplings in other areas, the food at Mid-Autumn Festival will vary from region to region, so I look forward to snacking on you.
Autumn was an autumn of appetite for Rain sister.
Such a rainy sister had been in a mood since one morning.
After all, it was a lucky day to win the cleaning around the chestnut trees during the garden cleaning.
--Speaking of autumn, it's chestnuts!
Rain sister loves chestnuts as the two delicacies of yakitori, even in autumn.
Chestnut trees are planted everywhere in the rear shrine, and cleaning this chestnut tree also helps to secure ripe chestnuts.
They collect ripe and fallen chestnuts and distribute them to the Empress's palace.
Naturally, only the chestnut trees that can be harvested in the backyard will not cover all the concubines, and they will be purchased from the outside.
Do you think getting chestnuts harvested in the rear palace rather than the chestnuts outside resonates with the princesses?
Even if the concubine only eats chestnuts, she has to worry about such things.
--Normally, "It's delicious! Isn't that nice? Happy.
Incidentally, among the harvested chestnuts, the one with the bad shape is played, and the harvested Miyagi - in this case, Yu sister can receive it.
Despite such a great deal, cleaning this chestnut tree can be an unpopular job for the Miyagi.
That's why Rain's new sister at the bottom got this job.
The disgusting Miyagi said that she was dissatisfied with the lack of fruit to eat while suffering damage such as stinging her head to drop fruit because thorns hurt.
If you ask my sister Rain, I'd like to tell them not to eat chestnuts for the rest of their lives.
The chestnut fruit is small, and the bigger it is, the better.
That's why Yu sister, who is so motivated, is attacked by thorns by chestnut dropping, so she doesn't spare any effort to eat delicious chestnuts.
--I like chestnut rice, it's delicious when mixed in buns, and maybe it's good to put it in mooncakes!
Just thinking about chestnut dishes means your dream spreads.
My sister, Rain, was headed for the chestnut tree with a cane like that.
"Little sister (Shaomey), can I have a word?
Yang called out as he walked through the corridor.
