The Noble Girl Living in Debt

Episode 34: Stone Plate Confectionery and Auction

"Mr. Agnes, what kind of sweets will this make?"

"The tip is a cake made with flour."

If Agnes asks if he wants to make pancakes with a shallow pan (skillet), shake his head at the same time.

"A flour confectionery made in a shallow pan ... I can't think of anything else."

"Tip two!"

"Crispy, crisp!"

Agnes leans his head, thinks based on the hint, and answers whether it is a biscuit.

"Correct!"

"It is a great answer."

The cake that Agnes learned from her twin sisters today was a biscuit.

It is difficult to control the temperature of a kiln, and it is said that it was completed by trial and error based on the advice of his brother Allen because of the failure of burning many times.

Ingredients are flour, butter, milk, sugar, eggs and maple syrup.

Dissolve butter lightly with heat, add sugar and maple syrup and mix. Put flour, milk and beaten egg in it. Knead intently and mix until finished.

"If it's normal, I'll let the dough rest, but I'll skip that."

"I want to eat it a little sooner, so I can't sleep."

The reason for laying the dough is to make it easier to handle without sticky surface, and to give it a crispy and light touch.

Extend the finished dough and flatten it with a stick. The rest was just die-cutting, but Carol took out a kitchen knife.

"I do not do it because it is troublesome to remove the mold."

"Cut it with a knife"

Carroll cut the stretched dough, and Ceria punched a hole in the biscuit with a fork. He says that the holes are made to shorten the heating time.

Line the biscuits in a warm pot and bake.

A sweet scent was drifting with the sound of sizzling.

Slowly bake over low heat, and when both sides are fox-colored, it is complete.

"Biscuit is complete."

"Take a title-"

"Are you making miscellaneous biscuits again?"

It was Allen who broke in between the twins. Looking at the biscuits on the plate, she looks amazed.

"Not a miscellaneous biscuit!"

"I have a nice name for slate (tablet) biscuits."

"Is there such a name ..."

Allen muttered that it was enough.

"It's a freshly made one and you can eat it, but over time it'll be like a stone. It's a perfect name."

Carol and Celia are praised for their origins and have a proud expression.

Allen advised that Agnes should be filled with flour and made from dough that had been laid for about two hours.

The twins say they're brewing tea and go get ready. Agnes was told to be waiting on the spot, so she was quiet.

Allen picks and eats freshly baked biscuits.

"It has a nostalgic taste. My mom used to make something similar to this biscuit."

"That's right."

"Yes. Whether you were busy at the time, they made cakes as hard as stones."

Allen says that the talent of younger sisters who have produced similar sweets on their own, even though they did not learn from Jizil, is horrible. Agnes laughed unintentionally.

"My brother, me, and my husband trained my chin with my mother's hard candy."

"Well, that's it."

Knowing that Bernard had a calm face and chewed hard candy, she felt like a smile.

"Slate slate (tablet) biscuits, it may be better not to eat those who have passed the time."

"Is it so hard?"

"Don't look sweet"

"Wow, I understand."

After that, a tea ceremony was held around freshly baked biscuits.

The first tablet slate biscuit to be eaten for the first time was a simple flavor, and the confection with the tea was outstanding.

Agnes is determined to make it alone tomorrow.

◇◇◇

After finishing the day's work, Bernard changed into plain clothes in the changing room and was about to go home.

However, a person appears to block his destination.

"Hello"

"……Thanks"

In front of the changing room, Ernesto Balteremon was waiting for Bernard.

Rarely appear in plain clothes.

When I asked what it was, I was invited to an unexpected place.

"I have a public auction now, why not go with me?"

"What?"

"It's an event where the government sells seized goods."

"No, good"

I don't have the money to spend on auctions, I don't have anything I want in the first place and I'm not interested.

I want to return early and take a bath, so I refuse immediately.

Raised one hand and tried to leave this place again, but was stopped.

"Wait, wait! This is not just an auction!"

"You can invite others"

"I have to be you"

"Don't say bad things"

"e?"

"I told you not to say bad things."

"Yeah, I told you it was uncomfortable! No, I don't care about that. I want you to go out with me today."

I'm so desperate that I move to the office to ask just the story. Lazar had already returned home and was absent.

"--so?"

"Ah, yeah. This auction is likely to bring out the goods of Agnes Leverge's house."

"... Hey"

"Among them, I want to win her mother's wedding outfit."

Agnes told her close friend that she wanted to wear her mother's wedding costume in the future. Ernest had gathered information about her.

Bernard thought that a woman who wants to be a lover would be a great deal of heat.

Is it similar to the feeling of hunting? I've heard that the missed prey looks better than it really is. I don't understand.

"So why invited me?"

"I wouldn't be happy if I was alone. I want to share the joy of winning with someone."

"Do you know ..."

Think if the cat feels like boasting to the master.

"A little different"

"what?"

"nothing"

I was invited so persistently that I ended up dating.

Move by Ernesto carriage. I arrived at the venue less than enough.

The auction hall is held in a building where night parties are held.

Ernest was proud to say that not everyone was available and an invitation was sent to a small group of nobles.

"This is the dress code."

In front of Bernard was a mask covering his eyes.

"what's this?"

"The purchase of foreclosures and public property is done anonymously, which means that you won't know who bought the winning item."

"Why do you do this?"

"Well? I don't know the details, but there are various inconveniences in doing business."

"It's a weird rule"

Bernard wears a mask while complaining.

"I am also the first to go to the auction."

"It's surprising."

"Well, I've never been to shopping."

"Yes"

In other words, I was worried about going alone.

Bernard thinks he invited me for no good reason.

At the entrance of the venue, many invited guests were in a line.

I hear that men and women who were nearby said that there were more participants than usual.

"Is something treasure or something listed?"

"Do you know?"

Among the participants who came in full dress, Bernard of everyday wear floated.

I felt a disgusting glance, so I hurried to move to an inconspicuous place.

"Hey, I'm going to my seat."

"Oh, that's right."

In the unfamiliar place, hit the shoulder of Ernest who was looking around Kyoro Kyoro and the surroundings, and headed to the hall in the back.

Chairs were placed in the large venue, and Koza was set up for bidding ahead.

Seats are unreserved and more than half full.

Ernest was wondering where to sit, so he sat down saying he had a good back seat.

Most invited guests are mostly men.

In addition to the nobles, there were also people with a mood like a merchant. Even with a mask, Bernard, who has been a knight for many years, can understand the occupation somehow from his individual appearance.

If you wait for a while, a man wearing a mask appears like an invited guest.

After saying hello, the declaration of the auction started was given.
