"Al...... Sister Toria, come and have a bite too! ”

The little boy smiled and brought a bite of the small half cake to the girl's mouth.

"Huh? Doesn't it matter? The girl looked a little surprised, "This is a rare delicacy, can you really share it with me?" ”

"Hmmm! Grandma usually taught that if you have good things, you must share them with the people around you. The little boy nodded heavily, looked at the girl's blue eyes, and said, "And I heard that after doing this, the already delicious food will become even more delicious." ”

"So that's the case, Taro is such a good boy! Then my sister will come and take a bite. The blonde girl smiled softly and opened her mouth slightly to take a bite on the edge of the cake.

"Hmm——!" At the entrance of the cake, the girl's blue eyes suddenly widened, and the unprecedented light kept flashing in it!

"Delicious——! It's enough to take your taste buds up a notch! The girl did not hesitate to praise, "I have never eaten such a delicious dessert in my life!" ”

"Haha, if I can get Mrs. Weigong's evaluation, even if I didn't make this dessert in vain!" Hearing the girl say this, Mr. Yasumoto was also proud, and his face bloomed with joy, "This snowball cake has a crunchy baked cake on the inside, and cream extracted from low-temperature milk on the outside. Under the alternation of hot and cold, it is a new baptism of taste......"

"Okay, okay, every time I finish cooking, Masao starts to brag about himself." Mrs. Aberdeen smiled and raised her hand to interrupt her husband's gushing speech, "That is, Mrs. Emiya is kind-hearted and can't bear to extinguish your enthusiasm. Replace it with someone else, who is willing to listen to your set of words! ”

"That'...... That, Mrs. Aberdeen, I'...... And it didn't ...... Mr. Abermoto's cooking skills are really strong and ...... I think there is some truth to what he said. The girl's pretty face suddenly turned crimson, and she raised her hand and waved it in front of her chest and said, "It's still ...... Also, can you change the name for the time being, Wei Gong...... Madame's statement is still ...... It's so embarrassing......"

"Haha, it's really innocent. In today's era, it's really rare to see a girl as pure as you. Mrs. Aberdeen couldn't help laughing.

"Yukiko, you still talk about others. When you married me, it wasn't like you had refused to be called by your last name for the first three years. Mr. Asumoto made a joke about his wife, and the wrinkles on his face flew up.

"Woo-" Because of the conversation between the two couples, the girl's head hung lower and her face turned redder......

"Alright, grandpa and grandma, don't talk about this kind of topic in front of Artoria anymore, she is very sensitive to this kind of thing." I stepped forward and reached out to firmly protect the girl's slightly trembling body in my arms, "Next, it's my turn." ”

"Oh? After seeing the reaction caused by the old man's dessert, do you think there is still a need for young people to compete? Mr. Aberdeen's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Of course, surrendering without a fight is not my style." I smiled lightly, "What's more, the desserts I make may not be more popular than yours!" ”

"Hahahaha, young man, the old man admires your courage!" Mr. Yasumoto laughed happily, "Then let the old man see if you are really capable, or if you are just a man of words!" ”

"I'll let you see." With that, I walked over to the kitchen counter.

"Artoria, give me sugar and rock sugar." I said to the blonde girl who was following behind me.

"Huh? Is Shirou all these two things need? The girl looked visibly surprised.

"That's right, those two things are enough. Mr. Asumoto made a snowball cake with four ingredients, so I had to simplify my ingredients. I turned around and smiled and stroked the girl's hair.

“…… I see, Shirou, please make the most of your cooking skills. The girl nodded, walked aside, took two bags of sugar, and placed them in front of me.

"Young man, don't tell the old man, you plan to mix the two kinds of sugar and take them to make up the number, and then let us taste the mellow aroma of the candy itself." Mr. Yasumoto looked at the candy in front of me with his eyes, and his smile unconsciously widened, "I said in advance, that is not processed by your hands, it is equivalent to serving raw meat and vegetables to the guests, it will definitely not work!" ”

"Don't worry, grandpa, since I said that it is a cooking competition, I will naturally let you lose convincingly."

As I spoke, I threw more than a dozen rock candies into the pot in turn and turned on the low heat.

Under the slow stewing, the rock sugar gradually turns into flowing crystal honey. After another few moments, the water was completely consumed.

Turning off the heat, I took another rotary pot from the side and put a large piece of white sugar in it. I wrap the surface of each white sugar in honey.

When I was done, I placed the pot on the table and turned it regularly while heating it over the fire.

......Seeing this, the smiles of the Aberdeen couple converged, and their eyes also showed a deep sense of nostalgia.

After about 20 minutes, I felt that the time was about the same, so I stopped turning the pot.

At this time, inside the rotary pot, the honey formed by the melting of rock sugar has been attached to the surface of the white sugar, and the shape is like a white crystal star, which is very beautiful.

"Wow, Shirou, what kind of candy is this? It looks so pretty! The girl next to her asked impatiently, with a continuous stream of small stars in her eyes.

"Artoria, remember, this is called Konpeito." I smiled and explained to her, "This candy has been coming to Japan from all over the world since the 15th century. It is also one of the most representative and traditional Japanese sweets in Japan today. ”

"Oh, Konpeito, I remember!" The girl took a deep look at the candy in the pot and nodded earnestly.

"But speaking of which, is it ready to eat now?" Soon, the girl looked at me expectantly and asked.

"Where is it so fast!" I smiled dumbly, "Although the production process of Jinping candy is completed here, it must be dried for an average of two weeks." ”

"W-what!? Is it taking so long? No...... No, this is the work that Shirou and Mr. Yasumoto used to test their cooking skills, and if it takes so long to get the finished product, I'm afraid it will ......" Hearing the production time, the girl couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Needless to say, the length of time it takes to make Konpeito makes it a complete lack of opportunity to make an appearance in the instant cooking competition.

However, that refers to kinpeito in a general sense.
