Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Lesson 698: Amber Confectionery
Hmmm...
One of Linus' wives, Conchidi, was looking up at the sky with an indelible wrinkle engraved between her brows. She was in a dwarf workshop in the capital of Agarta, looking up toward the sky with her arms crossed.
On the desk in front of her, a piece of paper was spread out, and a large circle was drawn on it.
Sidi was in distress. "This figure that suddenly floated in my head..." I was driven by the idea that I had to make this anyway.
The round thing floating in her head... Sidi had a certain image of what it was. It was food.
It's sweet, but it doesn't have a persistent taste... The colour is amber and a little hard on the teeth. It's just the right thing for him, and the kids will be happy to eat it.
I could imagine it so far, but now that I had to make it, she had no idea what to do.
Eggs... not eggs. "It's something else..." In Sidi's mind, various materials float away and disappear.
"...... Tsutsu...... Tsutsu......"
My head feels sore and dizzy. Sidi slowly shook her head to the left and right, holding down her temples.
... if this were the case, I should have studied cooking a little bit more.
To put it another way, I was not good at cooking. There's nothing you can't do. However, because I am small, I rarely stand in the kitchen on the pretext that cooking is a lot of trouble... Above all, Paulis was an excellent cook, and there was no way Sidi could fit in.
Nevertheless, I was well aware that that was fine. Just because Paulis is a good cook doesn't mean I can't rely on her for everything. In fact, Rico, May, Solaire, and Matokal are actively entering the kitchen to help with cooking if they are free.
But I'm not lazy with Sidi. I didn't just sit at the table and wait for the food to come out, as I did when I was at Niza. By mistake, he said, "You haven't cooked yet? There was no such thing as that." I dare say this in the name of honor, but I have never said such a thing before. I don't remember that. However, I don't want you to check with Prime Minister Yuri or former female Commissioner Minshi...
Revert back to the story.
While everyone is cooking, I am determined to take care of the children. The children of Matokar and Soleil are still breastfeeding. Sometimes he holds them in his arms, and sometimes he waits for a meal to be prepared. This was a blissful time for Sidi with the help of Eril and Idea.
Such a girl has recently achieved one goal. I wanted to show these children handmade sweets.
Sidi was somewhat of a sweetheart. No, Gachi's sweetheart didn't like the sweet stuff. That said, cavities are a major threat to the Dwarves. For this reason, at a young age, I loved watching Minshi make his own sweet, modest treats.
... I want to make sweets for my kids when they grow up.
It reminds me of a dream I had at a young age. Fortunately, I was able to give Pia my beloved daughter. I want to give these peers and other children delicious sweets... Sidi has been thinking about that lately. At that time, this incredible food that suddenly flashed in my head... I had the feeling that it was a treat that would make me and my children happy.
The problem is the ingredients. What to use... "Because it is a treat, it is certain to use sugar. However, if you use ingredients other than eggs, you have no idea.
The colour of the sweets depicted in my head is pale yellow. "How do you get that color out..." That technique did not teach me intuition.
I had the idea to ask Paulis, but it didn't seem like it either. She is a good cook, but she doesn't make much sweets. Next time I go to Mae because she likes cooking, she feels different too. You can talk to me personally, but perhaps I will write out a difficult chemical formula and pursue what materials will turn amber.
Mae-chan is busy. You have a lot of work to do, and you don't have time to think about it. If we talk about it, she will probably cut off her sleep time and hit it. That shouldn't have happened.
Everything else compares well to acorns. If I talked to Rico, Solaire, and Matokal, I wouldn't get a clear answer. There was also a way to talk to Minshi, the former female chief, but it definitely took a lot of whispers. It's a different story if you definitely get an answer, but I intuitively tell Minshi that I don't know.
... I did everything I could. There was an indescribable sense of despair in my heart.
She had a headache and had decided to go back to the mansion.
Ah, welcome home.
When I opened the doors of the Mansion, I was surprised to find my husband, Linus. It is unusual to be home in such an evening. He had a happy expression on his face as he was surrounded by children. Sidi's intuition worked.
"This is him."
He muttered unexpectedly. Let's talk to him tonight. She shook her hand.
It was in the bathroom that Linus and I were left alone. The children went up, and the two of them took a dip in the hot tub. This is the only time we have. Sidi tried to tell him about the candy.
"... is it Carmela?"
He said so without any hesitation. Carmela, this is the first time I've heard the word, and I have no idea what kind of treat it is. Leaving Sidi in a daze, he asked if he would try to make it once, and left the bathtub early.
What he took out was sugar and water, and a stick like a grate. And then May brought me some white powder. He put water in a pot like a small frying pan, put sugar in it, and put it on the fire.
After a while, the sugar water boils and an indescribably sweet aroma spreads. The children gathered to be invited by the scent. With a smile, he threw the white powder that May brought in, and began to stir quickly with a small stick of wood.
Everyone is watching with a stick of saliva what they are doing and what they are trying to do from now on. However, the liquid that was boiling in the dark turned into the amber depicted in Sidi's head. When Sidi saw it, she watched its formation as her heart was creaking.
Ah, maybe it'll swell up soon.
Linus opened his mouth while stirring. As a result, the liquid that had been boiling in the dark color swells up and down. The pan was swollen and made into a clean circle.
... this is it!
Sidi shouted in her heart, unintentionally snoring her hand. Linus smiles at her like that and transfers the sweets from the pan to the plate.
"I miss it. Try it."
At the suggestion of Linus, everyone was mouthing sweets one after another. Although I think it was a little sweet, it was popular with everyone for its simple food.
The one I liked the most was Eril. She ate most of them, saying they were delicious. Linus looked at the situation with satisfaction, and talked nostalgic about the scene that Odyssey had made at a young age.
"I will make this in the future!"
Sidi declared so. Applause arises from the family. She was sure. I believe that this candy will lead to the happiness of this family.
Later, it became Sidi's exclusive patent and a specialty of the Linos family. Especially for Eril, it inspired me to build a deep bond with Sidi... "No one in the Linus family knew that such a future awaited this candy.
