Lord of Arcane

Chapter 423 The new wind starts at the end
The effect of the 3rd ring's [Vapor Wave] is very powerful. After a while, the air is filled with a very familiar smell of wheat, which is different from the smell of bread. It has a warm breath, which makes Xia Duo feel refreshed.

The force field tube was released, and the steamed buns fell onto the counter, shaking like a balloon filled with water. Although it failed to bounce in the end, it showed its elasticity.

At this moment, Xia Duo didn't care that the steamed bun was still steaming, so he couldn't wait to reach out to take it. It was indeed a bit hot, but not enough to burn Xia Duo, but the feeling of getting it was very different from the steamed bun he remembered.

The skin was very sticky, smelling the familiar aroma, Xia Duo tried to take a bite, um, the taste is not much different, but the texture is a bit wrong.

Xia Duo hastily opened the steamed buns, but the center was not fully cooked. This may be related to the size of the steamed buns, and of course it may also be related to the way he steamed them.

Simply blasting it with steam waves for a period of time may steam the outside, but the inside is still a little lacking.

"Looks like we still need to use a steamer!"

Xia Duo was not discouraged. After all, this is only the first time to make it. The so-called cooking skills are still far from perfect, but if it is made by ordinary citizens, it will be fine to use a steamer for a while.

Thinking in this way, Xia Duo has already started the next attempt. This time he took a little less flour, and the dough he made was only half of that of a normal person's fist.

However, if you count the degree of expansion after steaming, this is the size of a normal steamed bun in Xia Duo's memory.

In the second attempt, Xia Duo maintained the steam wave for a long time until the force field tube disappeared, and he didn't stop. He almost washed the steamed bun away. Fortunately, with the hands of a mage, he controlled it in time. .

This time the steamed buns are much more normal, the skin is soft, although it is still a little sticky, but it is much better than the first time, when you break it apart, you can see that the inside is completely cooked.

success!

As a staple food in my hometown, steamed buns are not too difficult. Generally speaking, the dough is steamed and that’s it. The taste may be slightly different in different places, but it doesn’t hurt.

"Cook, come and taste it too, and see how it tastes?"

Saying that, Xia Duo turned around and handed half of the second steamed bun to Cook, while he tasted the other side, the taste was different from the first steamed one, it was softer and more delicious .

Cook took the white, slightly yellowed new-style food made by the lord himself with magic, his hands trembling slightly, "Big, my lord?"

"Try it!"

"Yes Yes!"

Being able to eat the food made by the lord himself, Cook was so excited that he was about to cry. He frantically stuffed the steamed buns into his mouth, making ahhhhhh sounds.

"what about the taste?"

"Soft, a little sweet, delicious!" Cook said vaguely.

It was the first time for him to eat such a delicacy, and it overturned all his imagination. It was just a piece of dough, but it turned out to be so delicious in the end!Is this the magic of magic?

After Cook finished eating, Xia Duo asked again, "Are you sure the people will like this kind of food?"

"Yes, absolutely! But my lord, I don't know magic!" Cook felt extremely irritable when he thought that he might not be able to eat such delicacies in the future.

"There is no need for magic. I have taught you how to make dough before. Now I am teaching you the last step. After you learn it, you will hand it over to other citizens who come to rotate."

This last step requires steaming, but Netheril has not yet developed the cooking method of "steaming". Generally, there are only roasting and boiling. Steaming requires not only imagination, but also tools.

Such as a steamer.

Next, Xia Duo asked Cook to bring a pot to the wooden house manufacturing workshop, which is currently in charge of Cade, who was the first citizen who was allocated the house.

Although he is already in charge above the working group, Cade still works like an ordinary citizen, even more serious. When he found Xia Duo coming, he quickly put down the carpentry work in his hand and went forward to salute:
"Sir, what are your orders?"

"Let you make something." As he said, Xia Duo showed the general appearance of the multi-layer steamer in the form of a projection. Fixed position.

Of course, the lid is definitely indispensable, and there is a wooden board at the bottom that is slightly larger than the mouth of the pot and has an opening in the middle.

After seeing the general projection, Cade frowned, "My lord, this is very complicated. Only Carpenter can do it here."

"Then let him do it! Make one first, give it to Cook for trial, and then modify it according to the actual situation. If this thing is done well, I will let Layton give him a small credit."

Xia Duo did not hesitate to draw the pancake. Things like steamers are important or not. The key is to see who is using them.

Changing the eating habits of the territory is one of Xia Duo's goals, and food is related to culture. It would be great if the foundation can be laid when the territory is opened up.

On the other hand, for slaves with skills like Carpenter, he actually wanted to free them a long time ago, but due to practical reasons, it was impossible for him to do so, but he did give him plenty of opportunities.

Whether it's Carpenter, Blake at the brick kiln, or other slaves, as long as they work hard and actively contribute to the territory, they will soon be freed from slavery.

After briefly explaining the points of attention about the steamer, Xia Duo put it aside for the time being, and then just waited for the result. This is the benefit of the superior.

Before returning to the small camp, Xia Duo stopped by to see his lord's villa.

At present, the project here is nearing completion. As expected of the team of craftsmen who have been to Conifera, it is estimated that it will not be long before it can be completed. However, the decoration problem will take some extra time, and Xia Duo is not in a hurry.

After sending a message to Layton asking him to add more staff to the kitchen, Xia Duo returned to the small camp and started working hard. There is no rush for cooking magic for now, and he will follow his existing plan step by step.

……

The Netheril River, on the deck of a general cargo ship.

Two people in charge were standing at the bow of the boat, and the cold winter wind was blowing in their faces, which made them rub their hands together. The cold wind was bitter, but even colder than the cold wind was the bleak future.

"Sears, do you think we will be rewarded or punished when we go back this time?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on how much the barbarians in the cabin are valued by the Great Xia lord." Looking at the constantly flowing river, Sears also showed a little confusion.

"Hey, this damn Baron, the Chamber of Commerce paid him to become a mage, but he slipped away without saying a word! Just go, don't trick us!"

Saying this, the steward sighed again.

At this moment, Sears suddenly pushed him, pointed at the water not far ahead, and exclaimed, "Don't sigh, Bourne! Quickly see if that's a person."

Bourne looked in the direction Sears pointed, and saw a long, dark object floating on the water surface, occasionally sinking and floating along the current.

Upon closer inspection, it really looks like a person floating on the water.

Soon, the distance between the cargo ship and the man was close enough to clearly see the tattered clothes on the man.
