Arcane Lord

, !

In this way, the time soon came to the end of August, the summer heat gradually subsided, and the chilling atmosphere of autumn came quietly.

At noon that day, Shado and Niya came out of the Tower of Time. The tall portal with blue light on the Codex Square not far away was reflected in their pupils. Niya frowned slightly:

"Is there no one recruited from the Broad Arcanist?"

The portal here has been bustling with people from the beginning, and now only a group of seven or eight people have passed through, and they have been picked up by the staff of the Resident Resettlement Department who have been here for a long time.

At this moment, the two of them just came out of the Tower of Time, and what they saw was an empty portal, a scene with no one.

"Maybe, you know the current situation, it's normal to not be able to recruit talents, and you don't need to care much if you can recruit people!"

In fact, Shado felt very helpless in his heart, not because of the "Book of Agriculture", but mainly because the development of the Abby Hills and the Cologne Plain involved the demarcation of the boundaries between Netheril and Comansor. attach great importance to.

Even if there is no agricultural book, it is not easy to compete with these two large-scale development projects for human resources. Of course, if the influence of the agricultural book is counted, the recruitment of new colonists will be even more difficult.

At present, the territory has successively recruited nearly 30,000 people through Broad, and there may be more in the future, but I am afraid it is difficult to have the efficiency at the beginning.

The only thing that is fortunate is that the core of the portal used by Shado to transfer the new citizens is made of Davy string materials. Although it is a large portal, the cost of use is quite low, almost negligible.

If it was a traditional eternal portal, he would not be willing to open it around the clock like it is now!

"Let's go, Chef Cook should have a new trick today."

Hearing Xia Duo mentioning the content of lunch, Niya's mood immediately turned bright, she squinted, and asked, "What's going on at noon today?"

"The method should still be the same, but there may be some innovations in the form. Are you still worried that it will not taste good?" Xia Duo said with a smile.

Today's Cook is no longer a little white who couldn't even steam steamed buns well. After so many years, Cook has already grown out of blue, and his cooking skills are far better than his "master"!

After all, his main job is a mage and a lord, and it is impossible to think about how to cook all day long. As a full-time chef, Cook, under his guidance and a lot of time practice, naturally makes rapid progress.

At the beginning of the month, he came back from Severnton and brought back a lot of jumping beast meat. Cook studied a lot of new dishes for this purpose. Of course, it was limited to the characteristics of the ingredients. Most of these dishes were steamed and boiled.

Speaking of which, this Leaping Beast Meat is probably the most characteristic meat that Xia Duo has ever eaten. It has both the freshness of seafood and the taste of beef and mutton. It is most suitable for steaming, blanching, and even raw food. Have a taste.

Of course, frying, grilling, and stewing are also possible.

These days, Xia Duo has tried almost all kinds of methods, except that some heavy-flavored cooking will make this kind of jumping beast meat lose its original characteristics and become mediocre, basically how to do it and how to taste it.

In addition to meat, he also brought back a lot of bones. Of course, the bones are the best for simmering soup, and there is no other good way to eat them.

…

When we arrived at the lord's villa in Linshui Village, the time was just right. Cook had already arranged for the apprentices to start passing on the dishes. Except for the freshly fried vegetables, the main dishes and soups were all made from the ingredients of the leaping beasts.

"Today's new dishes are slow-roasted jumping beast ribs, snowflakes, and eel beast bone soup. Lord Lord, please use it slowly!" The apprentice stepped aside after a brief introduction.

Xia Duo is not surprised. Originally, Cook would come over every time there was a new dish, but after trying for more than half a month, the Leaping Beast dishes have basically matured. Later, he asked the apprentices to come over and record the feedback of Xia Duo and Niya. Opinion.

"Niya, come, try this first!"

Xia Duo took a fancy to the plate of snowflakes at a glance. It was called "Snowflake", and it looked like snowflakes, except that the thin slices of jumping animal meat seemed to have been fried, and the chopsticks could obviously feel crispy when touched. .

Xia Duo picked up two slices and put them in his mouth. It happened unexpectedly. There was no need to chew at all. It almost melted in the mouth.

After he finished thinking about it, Niya was already waving the chopsticks in her hand, and she kept mumbling, "Delicious, delicious!"

"You can eat more if it's delicious!"

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo looked at Arno who was on the side, "What's the matter with this snowflake cake? I've eaten fried jumping beast meat before, and it's completely different from today's!"

"Sir, today's snowflake cake is not only made by my master, but also by his nephew, Master Mori, who first slices the jumping beast into extremely thin slices, and then freezes it into ice. When the temperature reaches the lowest At the same time, fry it in a frying pan for about half a second, which is the snowflake cake."

"That's it!"

Xia Duo was thoughtful, the feeling called "Snowflake" is not only the appearance, but also the freezing spell involved, but how could that Mori run to the kitchen?

"You say Mage Morley is Cook's nephew?"

"Yes, Master Sander, the former mentor of Master Mori, heard that the master was the master chef of the lord, so he wanted to learn cooking from the master, but the master did not dare to accept it. As a result, Master Sander brought Master Morley, and the teacher shied away. However, promise to teach him new cooking."

"What else?" Xia Duo was surprised.

I don't have a deep impression on Morita, only know that it is a new mage who passed the class assessment not long ago, but it is Shande. As early as the apprenticeship stage, Xia Duo had an impression of the strong-looking Mage Shande. Profound.

Not only because of his stature, but also because of the culinary writings that the other party left in the library of the Tower of Time.

I just didn't expect to get together with Cook, and Morley, who could get Cook's approval to participate in the production of snowflakes, and maybe even the production method of snowflakes was proposed by Morley.

Does the territory need an additional magic chef?

Xia Duo couldn't help being dumbfounded. He originally only planned to use magic items for civilian use. He has not yet had the luxury to let a mage become a chef. Now someone has taken this step in advance. Although he is a little reluctant, he is still happy to see it happen.

Of course, there is no need for encouragement, lest everyone in the Tower of Time will follow suit, not doing their due diligence, and delaying a lot of progress.

Therefore, Xia Duo did not continue talking, and ended the topic naturally, and began to taste the slow-roasted jumping beast ribs.

At this time, Niya was already eating with oil on the corners of her mouth. Xia Duo was still very envious of such a pure gluttonous heart. Just like when he was eating grilled ribs, he couldn't help but think about how it was done.

Although his current job is not a chef, the gourmet genes from his hometown that are deep in his blood are always hard to ignore.
