Lord of Arcane

Chapter 422 Chef Offa
Although I don't know what the essence of the magic world is, but from many of the same phenomena as on the earth, we know that this world is still material in a macroscopic sense.

Regardless of the relationship with other planes, at least the main plane that Xia Duo understands is like this.

Then you can still make steamed buns by referring to the ones on the earth. First, knead the noodles, which is not a problem, but there may be problems with the fermentation. Xia Duo uses wine as the source of fermentation.

Since wine and bread can appear in this world, a series of products related to fermentation can appear, such as vinegar, soy sauce, and steamed buns.

Most of the food that Savile Land supports Xia Duo is finished flour, which is a trade product of Savile Land and Conifera City. It is not only finished flour, but also sifted to remove the wheat bran.

Although it looks a little yellowish, the quality is not so much better than what Savile eats for ordinary people.

That is to say, at least in terms of eating, the citizens of Great Xia Territory are already ahead of Savile Territory.

Because it was just an experiment, Xia Duo only took a small amount of flour at a time and added ordinary ale, which Xia Duo saved to his personal space as a reserve water.

Although the ability of bloodlines and magic can create water at any time, it is not impossible for the situation like the ruins of the elves that prohibits spellcasting, and even the spellcasting of bloodlines to be impossible, so Xia Duo always carries a certain amount of rations with him. and ale.

It’s been a long time since I kneaded noodles with beer, my hands were a little raw, and Xia Duo had only made noodles by hand before, and only made steamed buns with my family every year during the Chinese New Year. I don’t know the degree of steamed buns well.

But experimentation can allow mistakes.

In the past, to make steamed buns at home, you had to put the dough in a vat scalded with hot water and cover it with a quilt to keep it warm, but in the magical world, for mages, it doesn't need to be so complicated.

Use a force field ball to pack the dough directly, and then continue to introduce the fire element to keep it at human body temperature.

While waiting for the dough to rise, Xia Duo began to explain to Cook the method of ordinary people. In fact, this step is very similar to making bread, only the details are different.

However, Xia Duo didn't go into too many details, because he couldn't explain it clearly himself. The biggest secret of cooking in his hometown is the texture, heat, and proper amount, which can only be learned through practice.

"The first step is roughly like this. When the time comes, you can practice by yourself. Let me tell you something now."

"Sir, what's the matter?"

"I'm going to arrange for the citizens to rotate in the cafeteria. You have to teach them all the new food methods. If you do this well, I will give you a surprise!"

Now that a new type of food has been introduced, there must be chefs for all people. Xia Duo does not require that everyone be a chef, but at least they must know common foods.

Of course, for the time being, there are only steamed buns, and it is not suitable to cook separately now. The days of big pot meals in the cafeteria will continue for a long time.

After hearing Xia Duo's words, Cook was both happy and worried, "My lord, this—"

As a chef who has mastered the skill, he naturally doesn't want other people to learn this skill. It's best if only he can cook well in the world.

But at the same time, he couldn't resist the lord's will, but when he thought of the surprise, he couldn't help daydreaming, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed:

"My lord, I promise to teach them!"

"By the way, there is one more thing. Have you seen the situation at the wooden house workshop?"

"Yes, my lord, you mean—"

"Take that division of labor into the kitchen, but at the same time make sure that everyone knows how to make new food!"

"Yes, I understand."

Now that he has already agreed to one, Cook naturally doesn't mind agreeing more thoroughly. Besides, even if he runs back to the Savile Territory now, he is still under Xia Duo's jurisdiction, so he might as well agree to it.

Xia Duo is quite satisfied with Cook's attitude. If Cook is unwilling, then he must have to change. Chefs are different from other craftsmen. Everyone has to eat. It can be said that every household has a chef, but the skill level is different. question.

And Cook dared to come here when he had nothing in the Great Xia Territory at the beginning. Although he didn't become a leader, he dared to take such a risk, which shows that he didn't do well in Savile Town.

With Xia Duo's current status, it is still very easy to find a better chef in Savile, but it is not necessarily easy to use it.

For the time being, Xia Duo has a good impression of Cook.

……

While the two were talking, the dough that was "closed" in the force field ball had expanded to two sizes, and the next step was to steam it. This step is the easiest, but it can be said that it is not easy.

To put it simply, it naturally means that there is basically no difficulty in operation in this step, and there are no problems that are difficult to measure such as heat, appropriate amount, and texture. You just need to steam on high heat.

It's not easy to say, but it's actually limited by material conditions. There are pots in Linshui Village, and they are iron pots, but there is no steamer, so it cannot be guaranteed to be relatively sealed.

However, for mages, it is still possible to achieve the purpose of material exemption by casting spells.

After a little thought, Xia Duo shaped the force field ball into a tubular structure slightly thicker than the dough, and then applied a steam ray on the other end.

Of course, this [Steam Ray] is not just as simple as a ray, but an arm-thick vapor wave. This first-level non-lethal incapacity spell that Xia Duo used to climb the threshold of a formal mage has now turned into a 1 ring cooking spell!
However, the 3rd ring has already reached the threshold of an intermediate mage, and such an arcane chef is not affordable for everyone.

Maybe it can be simplified in the future.

The mages used by Xia Duo are not specially designed for cooking, but just adapt to the existing spells. If a set of spells is specially designed for cooking, there may be a market in the future.

Maybe it won't be too long, Xia Duo felt a sense of urgency when he thought that the Arcane Federation was already negotiating with various mage towers on issues such as spell opening and patent registration.

I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with this wave of dividends.

And good cooking spells still need to be worthy of its delicious food. Maybe I should switch to a chef before advancing to an advanced arcanist?
However, this idea only appeared in Xia Duo's mind for a moment, and he was decisively dismissed. Now is not the time to play a deputy.

As for the patent bonus, let’s not talk about [Steam Ray]. Although Xia Duo has it, other people probably have it too. Even if there is no reason, it is very simple.

In fact, Xia Duo had long ago invented a new spell that hardly existed in Netherland——【Contrast Imaging】, which was Xia Duo's inspiration from the ultrasonic testing of modern medicine on Earth.

Using sound waves to detect the fine structure inside the object, "contrast imaging", as the name suggests, can be displayed in the form of images.

If this spell is combined with the image feature map of the corresponding mineral, it is simply a ready-made magic prospector!
The most important thing is that this spell has only 0 rings, so it is not difficult to cast it. It is just that you need to understand the relevant principles of sonic imaging in advance, and analyzing the feedback is the real mystery.

Otherwise, it's just a powerless sonic spell.

From this spell, a professional sonic science can also be guided, and the bonus of this spell can basically be eaten for a lifetime!

Because of this spell, Xia Duo even thought about driving the "Floating Void City" to scan ores all over the world, and constantly upgrade the "Floating Void City".

It can be seen how optimistic Xia Duo is about this spell.
