Chapter 28 The new home with the family

As expected, Aunt Marlene followed the agreement and asked the servants to deliver the food materials that Jiasan needed to the second floor after Jiasan finished his breakfast.

As soon as Mama Jia opened the bag of noodles, she rolled her eyes with a smile.

The wheat flour that Aunt Marlene provided to Jia's family was high-quality white flour with the bran removed, and there was also a piece of leavening yeast for making white bread.

Jia's mother rushed to say that she was coming for a meeting, and immediately rolled up her sleeves and started to work.

Aunt Marlene prepared a complete set of tools. Mother Jia poured the flour into the washbasin, scooped an appropriate amount of water from the drinking water bucket in the bathroom, and poured it into the basin.

Grandma Jia sniffed her nose, and couldn't help but praise: "This noodle is really good, it must be new noodle, and it has a strong smell of wheat."

Jia's father didn't want to sit dry, and together with Jia's grandmother, he processed vegetables and minced meat.

Grandma Jia scooped a few cups of water from the drinking water bucket for everyone to drink. Jiasan did not object. People here are used to drinking cold water. Drinking hot water is too troublesome. He drank it in the morning. The drinking water here tastes the same as Mineral water is almost the same, and it tastes a little sweet. It is not a problem to drink this kind of water raw.

Grandma Jia drank the water, and couldn't help but said, "Last night, I wanted to say that everything here is good, Mr. Earl, but the water tastes much better than that in Hunter's Village."

Laugh with family members who all feel the same way.Dad Jia felt the most obvious. He felt that maybe he had a good rest last night, maybe it was because he ate well these two meals. In short, he felt that the flexibility of his limbs was much better than a day ago.

It took time for the dough to rise, and the butler Kenneth just sent someone to take them to choose a field. The family of four couldn't sit still when they heard that it was such a big event, and Dad Jia followed it even if it was inconvenient to move.

The Wilsons were there too.Seeing Jiasan coming down, Henry seemed to want to talk to him, but awkwardly dragged his brother aside.

Mel found it funny, and he hoped that the two families could get along well, including Henry and Jiasan.

In the past, Mel only thought that Jiasan was an ordinary weak child who was easy to bully, but after these few days, Mel no longer thought so. He saw in Jiasan that he was decisive, ruthless and visibly strong. What is important is the importance to family and loyalty to friends.

Mel hopes that Jiasan and Henry can truly regard each other as friends, so that the two can rely on each other in the world of magicians in the future.He is also very assured of Jiasan's character. Yesterday, Jiasan did not hesitate to offend a viscountess and another magician seed for Henry, and he will definitely take care of the knowledgeable Henry in the future.

Fortunately, Jiasan didn't know what Mel was thinking, otherwise he would have said to Mel: You think too much.He wasn't helping Henry at all, he just found it annoying to see someone blocking the way and talking non-stop.

Butler Kenneth has prepared two carriages very thoughtfully, and the place they are going to is located outside the city.

"Although the location is outside the city, the place we are going to is different from other villages. There is a knight training camp there. First of all, there is a certain guarantee of safety. Secondly, many families of knights and spare knights live there. They come from the count Everywhere in the territory, everyone is used to outsiders joining, and because the knights have high demands on themselves and self-discipline, the family members they can bring here are generally warm and kind. In addition, the village is also very close to the city , if you walk, you can enter the city in more than an hour.”

Kenneth gave the two families a basic introduction before they boarded the car.

After hearing this, the two families became more and more excited about their new home.

"You don't have to worry about being bullied by other people there, not to mention that you are all family members of the future magician, as long as the managers of the village are backup knights, you don't need to worry about injustice, unless they don't want to be knights anymore , the backup knight must not be stained. If you really encounter any grievances, you can come to me directly, or to the knight leader, and we will conduct a careful investigation and deal with it fairly."

The two families felt more at ease.

Kenneth finally smiled and said: "Of course, when we get there later, if you don't think it's suitable, we can choose another place. In fact, running a store in the city is also an option."

Kenneth made a small point, but unfortunately the two families are not very interested in business.

Seeing this, Kenneth naturally wouldn't forcefully recommend it. Everyone has their own preferences.

While riding in the carriage to the village called Daer, Jiasan didn't waste any time. He discussed with his family the delicacies to be sold later, and consciously leaned on the dumplings.

After hearing Jia San's gesture, Grandma Jia patted her forehead and said with a smile, "Are you talking about soup cakes?"

Jiasan hurriedly asked what soup cakes were, and Grandma Jia explained them.

After listening, Jiasan realized that there are already dumplings in Ganqing, and there are even wonton noodles, but they are all called soup cakes.

Remove the noodles, whether it is dumplings or wontons, it is said that these two kinds of food were originally made by a great pharmacist in the Xia Kingdom to treat people. Although it is a little troublesome to eat, it is very simple to eat, and you can eat a lot of meals if you make too much, and it gradually spreads.

"Grandma, tell me what food that country is good at. I want to make more money when the Duke comes." Jia San pestered Grandma Jia and asked.

Grandma Jia was eager to talk to her grandson more, so while looking at the scenery outside the window, she told her grandson about the various special delicacies of Xia Guo.

After listening to Jiasan, he found that many dishes did not require his "invention and creativity". The history of this world has already made the cuisine of Xia Kingdom flourish.

Steaming, boiling, frying, grilling, roasting, and stir-frying are all common cooking methods, but Xia Guo's development was cut short because of his blood, so the stir-fried dishes that had just become popular in the last years of Xia Guo failed to capture the entire world.

But there is a reason for this, because cooking costs oil and iron pans are needed, which is a considerable burden for many ordinary people.Compared with stir-frying, other methods of cooking are much easier to popularize, such as boiling and roasting, basically as long as you have a pot, you can get a general idea.Fried fish and fried meat can also be replaced by a slate.

Grandma Jia also knows about the steamer, she also knows about steamed buns and steamed vegetables.

I added three and counted, and found that apart from the different ingredients I knew, the dishes I knew might not be half as much as my grandma.

After the question, Jiasan discovered a strange thing. Rice has not yet appeared in this world, and even Xia people mainly eat pasta.

And don't talk about rice, it's corn, and they have never heard of grandma.

"San'er, how do you know there is food like rice in this world?" Grandma Jia asked casually.

Jiasan also replied very casually: "Oh, I saw it at the pharmacist's place, and I saw him eat it. I asked him at the time, and he said it was rice."

"It turned out to be Master Pharmacist." Jia's family immediately accepted the explanation, "The food eaten by magicians must be very different from that of ordinary people. After you become a magician, you might be able to eat this rice. "

Add San, "Well, when I find the rice later, bring it back for everyone in the family to taste."

The Jia family chatted and laughed, and the carriage soon arrived at Dar Village.

As soon as he got off the car, Jiasan felt that he had already fallen in love with this village.

The Jia family is obviously just like him.

Mother Jia clutched her chest and blurted out, "It's so beautiful."

Yes, this small village is very beautiful. The houses are neatly arranged on both sides of the road. Most of the houses are built of stone, with white stones, red tiles and wooden window edges, as well as large balconies and courtyards with lush flowers and trees.

The roads in the village are not narrow, and it is no problem to pass two carriages in parallel. The ground is paved with cobblestones, which can keep the road clean even in rainy days.

The construction of a small village should be planned. Although the houses are not built exactly the same, they are similar in style and building materials, and the overall look is not messy at all.

Some people placed vegetables, fruits and some daily necessities by the side of the road in the front yard. They only found out after asking the housekeeper that this is how the village sells surplus items in the house, which can be bought with money or exchanged.

There are small rivers and streams outside the village. The water sources and vegetation are quite rich. Surrounding the water sources are endless fertile fields. There are many stone sentry towers scattered around the fertile fields. Not far away, you can see a group of white stone buildings. Probably the knight training camp.

Dar Village also has a square, but it is not in the center of the village, but at the head of the village. There are flower beds and pools in the center of the square, and many children are playing. It is not surprising to see a carriage coming in, let alone run with the carriage.

There are also buildings on the side of the square that seem to handle official business.

Two carriages stopped at the entrance of this building.

The village head, a young man in his early 20s, received them very warmly.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, hahaha, it's not that I knew you were coming, but Master Harder told us that the family of the magician seed might migrate to this city, so let us build a few sets first." Houses, it is a coincidence that you have come here, we have just built five houses, and you can choose your favorite from them."

Plus three happy, this is so convenient, new house, don't have to wait.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the house first, and I'll take you to the fields later." The young village head winked at Jiasan and Henry, and said in a loud voice as if I was going to whisper: "Considering The two future great mages, the fields we prepare for the families of the adults are the best, and they are relatively close to the village. Regardless of the size of the two families, each family can be allocated [-] acres of land, and you No tax yet!"

The Jia family and the Wilson family held their chests again. Fifty acres of fertile land without paying taxes is like a dream!

"But these fertile fields must be cultivated, and they cannot be left idle, nor can they be resold. You can hire tenants." The young village head glanced at Kenneth, and added very briskly: "Of course, if the two adults can become magicians, as long as After reaching the third level of apprenticeship, the fifty acres of land will become the private property of your two families forever."

At this time, Jiasan only felt that Earl Harder was very generous and treated them very well. After he became a magician later, he realized that these were just the most common means of wooing them.In this world with vast territory and relatively small population, what is fifty acres of fertile land and one rural house?

Similarly, the third-level magician apprentice who he thought was very powerful is actually nothing. There are nine levels of magician apprentices in total, and the first three levels are just low-level apprentices, just getting started.

The two families took a look at the five houses, and they both chose the one they liked the most.

Jiasan likes water, and Jia's family is ready to escape at any time, so they chose a house in the southeast corner of the village with a stream and woods behind the courtyard.

At the insistence of the old Wilson, the Wilson family chose a new house farthest from the Jia family.

In fact, Mel really wanted to choose a family diagonally opposite the Jia family, and he was worried that the Jia family would think too much about their choice, but he didn't know that what the old Wilson did was just in line with the Jia family's thoughts.

Although the two of them are from Hunter Village, they are not familiar with each other, and they are still a little embarrassed with each other. Instead of barely getting along with each other in the future, it is better to take the road of friendship between gentlemen as light as water.

Moreover, the two families live farther away from each other, and it will be easier to integrate with the original residents of this village.

Jia's family pushed open the gate of the courtyard, and this small two-story building with a spacious front and back yard will be their home in the future.

The young village head hung a wooden sign on the fence gate in the front yard of their house, with the word "plus" engraved on it.

Mother Jia covered her face, tears streaming down her face.

Dad Jia was very distressed, put his arms around her shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "Go in, I think we will live here for a long time in the future."

Jiasan shrugged and cheered up the atmosphere and said, "Not necessarily, if I become a third-level magician apprentice soon, I will take you to the vicinity of the Valley of True Knowledge."

Dad Jia hehe: "Who knows what will happen in the future, maybe we like life here, and it is very possible that we don't want to go to Zhenzhi Valley with you."

Grandma Jia also nodded: "I also think this place is very good, and the villagers I met on the road just now are also very enthusiastic."

Butler Kenneth who was following them suddenly said: "If Master Jiasan becomes a real magician, not just a magician apprentice, it doesn't matter where you live. A magician can support the development of a family. This is by no means a rumor."

The Jia family turned around, only to realize that the butler had been following them all along. Maybe the butler was so good at hiding himself that they didn't even notice.

The young village chief had a smile on his face, but he had already compared the values ​​of the two families on the balance in his heart. The butler has been following the Jia family, what does this mean?Of course, it shows that the earl pays more attention to adding family members.

Lord Butler: Actually, I just see Master Xiaojiasan being fierce and cute, and they have few family members. Anyway, I am waiting in the carriage, so what's the matter when I come down and walk with them?

The large furniture in the new house is complete, including living and working tools, which are stacked in the warehouse in the backyard.

The butler also mentioned: "If you are sure to live here in the future, then before tonight, I will ask the servants to bring over some corresponding daily necessities and food. Please don't refuse, these things are not good for the Earl. It’s nothing, but your family has just arrived, and the fields have not yet been cultivated, so getting through this transitional period is the most important thing.”

The Jia family expressed their thanks to the housekeeper again and again.

Jiasan still shyly said: "My lord, can I come and live with my family?"

Kenneth said gently but firmly: "I'm sorry, for the safety of the magician seed masters, Lord Daniel requires that all seed masters must live in the building he designated."

"Then I come here during the day, can I go back at night?" Jia Sanyan begged.

Kenneth wanted to refuse, but when he saw the begging eyes of the child, his heart softened, and his words changed into: "Okay, but you must bring a guard with you, and you must return to the manor before the city gate is closed at night."

Afterwards, the Jia family joined the Wilson family and followed the village chief to see their fields.

Coincidentally, the field assigned to the Jia family was actually behind the forest in their backyard, which meant that they would be able to reach their own field as long as they walked through the woods in the future. This was a surprise to the Jia family.

That day, the Wilson family, who were not used to the life of the nobles in the castle, let alone living with the nobles, couldn't wait to stay in the village, and only Henry went back with the carriage.

Jia's family thought about it again and again, and Jia's father, who was handicapped, offered to stay and look after the house, while Jia's mother and Jia's grandma went back with Jiasan to complete their food production.

In the words of Jiasan, it is to get the first pot of gold first, and then everything will be easy to talk about later.
