While selecting snacks and discussing food, the topic unconsciously expanded, and Hoden naturally mentioned the refrigeration circle used to preserve food:

It's more akin to an ice vault than the refrigerator that Horden is familiar with. Because the refrigeration circle is very large and cannot be reduced in size at will, there are strict requirements for floor space. Therefore, more often than not, the refrigeration circle acts on the warehouse.

Although science and technology are developing rapidly, they have not been widely used in life for the time being, and more focus on the progress and improvement of industry. The most intuitive is the cleaner, such psionic props are "large appliances", and after their invention, they can only be used by large factories or enterprises.

Moreover, the effect of the refrigeration circle also has side effects, which are more obvious than the refrigerators that Hoden is familiar with, which proves the roughness of the related technology.

"The refrigeration circles that we use now all destroy the structure of the food itself, which in turn affects the taste. ”

On this point, Hoden is serious.

"Do you think so too?" Professor Decimus's expression brightened, and he finally found a confidant, "I just said that if the food is put in the refrigerated circle and then taken out, it will not taste right, but they always say that it has no effect. ”

Professor Desimas chewed on the preserved fruit, "I used to think about using the time circle to store food, but the time circle we have now is all incomplete, and if we don't see it, we can meet the expected requirements. ”

"Have you ever tried?" asked Hoden, curious.

"Of course. "But after it comes out, the effect is not good, and sometimes it destroys the original structure of the food, so it is not edible at all, and many precious ingredients are directly destroyed, which is too wasteful." ”

Hoden's eyes lit up slightly, which also means that Professor Desimas knows the complete time circle?

Really!

As the Dean of St. Crayon's College, and with a library in top inventory, Professor Desimas is truly renowned for his vast knowledge.

Perhaps, in his office, he was able to find forbidden books.

But Hodden didn't continue the discussion along the topic of the circle, but continued the topic of food, "The preserved fruit you are tasting now is a compromise that Ms. Joanna developed by herself inspired by the dried prune pot in the seaweed prune, using different methods to process the pulp to avoid rotting and ensure that it can be stored for a long time, and then give the fruit a different flavor." ”

"Dried prunes in the pot?" Professor Desimas immediately caught the keyword.

"It's not a very high-end dish, but it's not very popular, and I think Iwabuchi's best Haixi prune hot pot is at the 'Three Cripple Bars' in the 8th ward, so I highly recommend the professor to try it, and I recommend that it be eaten with snow venison." Hodden was quick to recommend and generously shared food information.

Professor Desimas had a satisfied expression on his face, and remembered it like a good student taking notes.

"Recently, I've been discussing with Ms. Joanna if we can make meat in a similar way. Hoden continued.

"You mean, dried meat?" Professor Decimas' eyes began to glow.

Hoden nodded, "Yes." However, the production process of dried meat is more complex and diverse, and we are considering the method of smoking, using the psionic circle to achieve the effect of maintaining uniform heating and uniform smoking for a long time, but as you know, the solid energy circle also has the effect of imprisoning, prohibiting creatures from entering it. ”

"Although all the meat is no longer living things, but dead things when the meat is made, Ms. Joanna and I both believe that the Solid Energy Circle, like the Refrigeration Circle, may destroy the structure of the meat itself and eventually affect the taste. "Holden has shown his professional stance.

"Professional", for food, Hordon is serious, absolutely no jokes.

Professor Desimas could also feel the focus and engagement in Howlen's eyes, "And then? have you found a solution?"

"Not yet, the solid energy circle still needs to be further improved, it can only be operated by hand, and it may take eight hours for each smoke, Ms. Joanna has hired two apprentices and is monitoring the smoking for a long time, but in this way, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the output cannot be increased for the time being, and the cost cannot be reduced, and it is very likely that there will be no way to go to market in the end. ”

Hoden didn't say much, just looked around and looked at the room in front of him, and that was enough—

For handicraft workshops, quality assurance is always the first priority, but in the process, it may consume a lot of costs, and the operating pressure will increase exponentially. Because the scale of the craft workshop itself is not large, it needs to be exposed to more risks.

It is precisely because of this that many small workshops are still accustomed to "cooking", after all, innovation requires more costs. But on the other hand, the creative vitality of small workshops is also incomparable to those large factories, so in the process of innovation and attempts, many small workshops have been annihilated in the torrent of commerce.

Preserved meat.

Professor Desimas only felt that the preserved fruit in his mouth had no taste, and although the sweetness was still raw, he couldn't help but imagine what the preserved meat would taste like.

"Recently, I've been trying to read semiotics and deconstruct psionic circles, hoping to change the destructive power of refrigerated and solid circles on food. ”

"It's still in the early stages, and in the process of deconstructing the psionic circle, there are always many problems, such as refrigerating the circle. ”

As he spoke, Hoden raised his hand and drew a refrigeration circle in the air.

This is obviously not a basic circle, but a comprehensive circle composed of multiple basic circles and advanced circles in a chain - so it is only used by large warehouses or large companies, and is not common in daily life.

However, Hodden drew it without much thought, and his skillfulness showed his abilities and talents.

Then, Hordon began to blatantly deconstruct the magic circle -

However, it was not as detailed as in the library just now, not because the refrigeration circle was too intricate to do it, but because Hoden needed to hide it in front of Professor Decimas.

Take it one step at a time, there's no need to rush.

If Horgan had asked Professor Desimas directly, would he have been willing to give advice? Maybe, maybe not, the answer would have been five-five.

But if Hoden was guided by a common interest and asked Professor Desimas for advice, the result was obvious and more natural. After all, this was only Hodden's second meeting with Professor Decimas.

Howlen's gaze watched carefully as Professor Desimas's expression changed.

As expected, Professor Desimas did not make a fuss, but responded with interest.

Immediately after that, Holden raised his own question, the one he had just discussed with Ray Peters.
