Gilbert helped us harvest about 100 ripe strawberries.

There are still blue strawberries, so I will continue to harvest them every day for some time to come.

With a sweet and sour scent, she returned to the palace and changed into an apron dress.

When I enter the kitchen, I will sort strawberries first.

Strawberries grown outside were also found to be dripping and stained on the ground.

These strawberries are cut and used as strawberry jam ingredients.

I cook three strawberry dishes today.

Strawberry jam with sugar that is easy to use and easy to store.

Strawberry chiffon cake kneaded in crushed strawberry dough.

And this is strawberry! The representative of strawberry sweets...

"Shut up, is that you? It's my first time making or eating, but I really want to succeed."

Gilbert, who had a strange face, looked at the recipe notes I had written and was in a good mood.

Shortcake with bright red strawberries.

It didn't even exist in this world, but I wanted to make it when I got strawberries.

Fortunately, Gilbert and his colleagues also mastered the use of global foams during a trial and error in making chiffon cakes.

With their help, I will try to make the world's first shortcake.

The eggs were lined up with ingredients such as sugar, butter, and fresh cream for decoration, and we started by making dough.

Split the eggs in a bowl, add sugar, draw a circle, and stir.

To ensure that the sponge fabric swells beautifully, the foam bubbles are poured into the bath.

If the eggs are not warmed up, the foam will be poor and the dough will not expand.

Even if the temperature rises too much, it is a failure, so it is removed from the boiler halfway and mixed.

The approximate temperature should have been about human skin.

While hoping that it will work, stir the foam at high sieve speed, slow down a bit, and refine the texture.

When the foamer is lifted, the egg liquid is difficult to entangle and foam until the shape of the ribbon remains slightly.

Thereafter, light flour and butter are added sequentially, and they are poured into the mold as soon as they are mixed with wood sheets.

After dropping the mold on the table about twice and removing the bubbles, place it in the oven and wait a while before removing it.

"Nice color and smell..."

The surface of the freshly baked sponge cake was a fox color with a sweet smell.

After dropping the mold onto the table to remove water vapor from the fabric, remove it from the mold and allow it to cool on the net.

Meanwhile, I checked the strawberry jam cooked by other cooks and started making strawberry chiffon cakes.

Basically the same way as plain chiffon cake, it is different to add puréed strawberries to the fabric.

There is no electric mixer, so I will put strawberries on the monkey and crush it with a fork.

Crush strawberries into purées manually and as quickly as possible so that the smell does not fly.

Once the chiffon dough is made using the finished strawberry puree and placed in the oven, we will now proceed to assemble the shortcake.

Slice a round sponge into 3 pieces and whip cream with raw cream.

Apply syrup to the base sponge and overlap with whipped cream.

Arrange strawberries that have been decanted on top of them without gaps, and then apply more cream.

The bottom layer is sponge, the second is cream and strawberry, and the third is sponge.

Then, apply a thick strawberry jam to the fourth layer, and put a sponge on top of it.

To a total of 5 layers of cake, the whipped cream was sprayed over the whole area.

"And to finish, using this star clasp,"

Assemble the squeeze bag with the refined star clasp and soft cloth and decorate with the remaining cream.

The cream squeezed from the silver star clasp was as sweet as a white, dusty flower.

Finally, a selection of large strawberries is arranged to complete the cake decorated with white and red.

"This is... It's a very beautiful cake. Strawberries on top shine like jewels."

Mr Gilbert is very impressed.

It would be a little embarrassing, but I am relieved that the shortcake still has a high reputation for appearance by this world standard.

The country's strawberries, called "The Gems of the Poor", were hated.

However, even if it was a slanderous name, it was supposed to be highly regarded for its nickname "jewelry".

Taste is a precious sweeter world than Japan, and it should be a good source of excellence.

Now, because the shape is still similar to "Monster Gems", strawberries are rarely treated as ingredients.

I hope strawberry dishes become more common and can be eaten everywhere in spring.

I felt the pressure in my gaze from behind.

Looking back, as expected, a gardener cat with a mini size myfork peeks through the kitchen entrance.

"Wait. I'll cut the cake now."

I-chan is a benefactor who raised strawberries.

Now, to serve the shortcake, I'll put a knife in the round cake and cut it.

The egg sponge and red strawberries peered from the incision were neatly layered and folded.

Gently place a plate of cake with strawberries in front of Iichan.

After checking the appearance of the cake from the front, back, left and right, I-chan stabbed the fork.

At first, it seems to eat from the pointed vertices of the triangle.

As you put the cream around your mouth, you keep eating it.

Looks like the strawberries on the cake were the last type to eat.

When I was satisfied with the large grains of strawberries, I conveyed to me something that looked like a word of gratitude in cat language and began to fall asleep with a full stomach.

After holding her in her dream and taking her to the bed in one of the rooms, she and the cooks in the kitchen have a strawberry dinner party.

Put the cut shortcake in your mouth.

Smooth cream, fluffy sponge, sweet and sour strawberries.

The sponge stacked on the tongue is loosened and the sweet fragrance spreads.

"Delicious..."

The slight acidity of strawberries is refreshing and accented.

Strawberries were a great value cake that could be tasted at once, with sliced pieces and a two-stage jam.

"Looking good and even more delicious when processed, I feel the possibility of strawberries again now......"

As for the taste, it seems that Gilbert got a big heartbeat.

Other cooks, surprised by unfamiliar shortcakes, loosened their cheeks to taste delicious with forks.

About three-quarters of cooks eat shortcakes.

The rest of the cooks are still resistant to strawberry shapes, so they have a taste of strawberry chiffon cake.

If it was a chiffon cake with a slightly strawberry-colored fabric, it seemed okay because there was no original strawberry remaining.

It's good.

"Ah, the previous chiffon cake was delicious, but this one's sweeter and sour. I like it."

Next time, I'd like to try that one too.

The reaction seems to be good.

It is also a strategy to gradually eliminate resistance to strawberries and spread it as a food ingredient.

Only cooks seem to be interested in food, so I wanted them to spread the good taste of strawberries from friends to acquaintances.

After enjoying strawberry sweets to your heart's content.

As the evening approached, I threw my sleeve through the dress outside.

Today's dress is bright green reminiscent of strawberries and leaves.

With the help of a maid, she braided and decorated her hair and boarded the carriage with Lucien and Gilbert.

"Long time no see, my queen. I heard you wanted to show me something today. What have you got for me?

His Majesty Glenn Reed welcomes you while you're watching.

Your Majesty seemed concerned about the large wooden box Lucian had in his hands.

"Good evening, Your Majesty. I wanted to show you this once today."

Lucian moves quietly.

It was removed from the crate.

"That plant is a monster jewel... no, it's not. It's similar, but different, right?

"Yes, it's not. But, Your Majesty, you see it at first glance?

"... because I have a good nose."

Is that what this is about?

Perhaps you are familiar with the knowledge of poisons as you sit on the throne.

With respect for His Majesty, the meeting began that day.
