The underground city of Utorini is located in the sub-frigid zone, much colder than Magnolia. However, it is now in a short and warm summer. The coniferous forest on the ground still looks a rich and deep dark green. Reindeer and squirrels are also more active than in winter.

Before entering the small town on the ground, Bilika took off her black peaked hat and temporarily stored the broom in the public parking place, so that she looked like a slightly gloomy, but very ordinary little girl.

There is a big white windmill beside the stream flowing around the town, and the small workshop with blue roof and white walls under the windmill is their destination.

When he was about to reach the entrance of the workshop, a young deer jumped out from the side of the road. It was not afraid of people at all, and stared at people curiously with its moist eyes, looking dumbfounded.It stretched out its warm tongue to lick Bilika's palm, Bilika couldn't hold back, and immediately took out the bread from her bag to feed it.

Alluka was locked up at home by her family before, and she had only seen these cute little creatures in albums, and now she was so novel that she wanted to take them back to raise them.

At this time, I heard someone from a distance asking: "Hey, where are you from?"

Bilika looked up and saw a tall and thin young man, wearing overalls covered in white flour, and carrying a flour bag on his shoulder, standing at the door of the workshop and looking at them.

Bilika bowed to him politely: "Hello, we are from Riddle Bakery."

"Oh, you're here to pick up the goods, right?" The young man showed a dazed expression, and beckoned at them with his other free hand: "Come with me. ——Don't feed Dick anymore, he's getting too fat to go away It's not moving."

Reluctantly, Bilika touched the fawn's tender horns for the last time, and hurriedly followed: "So it's called Dick? Did you raise it?"

"Probably." The young man scratched his face: "Its mother was eaten by a tiger. I picked it up and fed it for a few months, but it couldn't get rid of it. It lives in the forest now, but it's always there. hanging around."

Qi Ya laughed and said, "Sounds like another version of Xiaojie and Jietai."

"Mrs. Jie is the king of the forest now." Bilika bent her hands into claws, pretending to let out a vicious howl.

The young man was the eldest son of the miller. He first put the flour sack on his shoulders into the warehouse, and then led the three of them to the nearby workshop.A few long benches were placed in a mess in the workshop, and the surface was covered with a layer of white powder like the youth's trousers.

"Sorry." The young man scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and explained: "I'm afraid we won't be able to deliver the goods today. Look, we are short of manpower recently. It's really..."

In the center of the workshop is a stone mill pulled by a donkey with long ears, and there are some small stone mills beside it, which are ground by hands by a few fat women wearing headscarves, and there is a larger water mill driven by water outside.

Although Bilika saw the mill for the first time, she also felt that the mill was so small that there shouldn't be so many stone mills turning at the same time. She asked the young man, "Is the mill always so busy?"

"Hey, although I'm usually busy, I can't delay the delivery. This time it's all the fault of those brats!" When the young man mentioned this, he was a little annoyed: "A few days ago, some of my younger brothers went swimming in the river greedy for coolness. Afterwards, each of them ate several bowls of ice, and now they all have a cold and diarrhea." He begged Bilika, "Please, can you give me a day? We hired people from the village to help, and we will definitely be able to get out before noon tomorrow. ,I promise!"

"Well, okay." There is no other way, after all, magic can't directly make flour out.

Alluka pulled Labilica's sleeve, stared at Shi Mo's bright eyes, and whispered, "I want to play with that too!"

"That's right!" A light bulb flashed in Bilika's mind, and she suggested to the young man, "Why don't we help too!"

The young man was obviously stunned for a moment, Qi Ya raised his eyebrows: "Can't you?"

The young man quickly waved his hands: "No, no, of course! Thank you so much!"

There are two round turntables stacked on top of the stone millstone, and the upper turntable has a small hole for grain leakage.

Bilika and Alluka used small hand-cranked millstones. Although they were helping in name, they were mostly playful.After a while, because of the action of raising his hand to wipe his sweat, his face was covered with white flour, pointing at the other party and laughing non-stop.

On the contrary, it was Qi Ya who surprised the young man once. His strength was several times greater than that of an ordinary adult man. The heavy millstone was like a toy in his hand. Said, "It's easier to use than a donkey!"

——Of course, I didn’t dare to let Qi Ya hear this sentence, otherwise he would lose his temper and refuse to continue.

Soon it was time for dinner, and their progress was twice as fast as the young man had expected. Boss Riddle needed enough flour.

Before leaving, the young man said: "I really don't know how to thank you. We couldn't deliver the goods because we didn't do well, but today we asked you to help turn the mill." After thinking for a while, he suddenly turned back and ran back to the workshop. He came back with a small bag: "Let me give you a present."

"What is this?" Qi Ya curiously opened the bag on the spot.

"The cheese is made by the pastor of our village." The young man replied mysteriously: "People who eat the same piece of cheese will meet each other in the next life. The pastor only makes it once a year, and many people can't ask for it." !"

Qi Ya curled the corner of his mouth: "It sounds pretty good."

"The fate of the afterlife." Bilika smiled and clapped her hands in agreement: "After returning to the bakery, please ask the boss to help us make cheesecakes!"
