Chapter 8: Golden Maple Sugar

Snowflakes drifted in the Tisilan Mountains, and in the blink of an eye, winter had arrived.

Snowflakes fall quietly and slowly stack on the leaves in the forest, the broad leaves are gradually bent, and then the snow slides down, and the leaves bounce slightly, setting off bursts of white crystal mist.

In the cottage of the Maple Leaf Garden, a large cauldron is boiling in the hall, or a large vat is more appropriate.

The orange-yellow flame burned at the bottom of the pot, and from time to time bubbles floated and then burst, and white steam kept rising from the red pot, and Lorain Hill kept stirring it with a long spoon, and the air was filled with a sweet smell.

As she stirred slowly, the liquid in the pot slowly thickened, and finally became a semi-solid and semi-liquid state.

It seems to be almost.

The girl thought to herself, then took the big spoon and pressed the liquid in it, which was soft and seemed to be elastic, and took out the large baking tray that had been prepared in advance, and poured the semi-solid maple syrup onto the baking sheet.

After that, use a spatula to spread the syrup flat on a half-meter-wide baking sheet, about an inch thick, and then cut it into boxy pieces with a knife, the orange-yellow sugar cubes are like jelly, the color is transparent, and it also exudes a sweet smell.

Lorain Hill carefully picked up the baking tray and placed it in his earthenware oven, then took another plate out of the cabinet and poured a layer of rich maple sugar.

The sap of the maple tree is rich in sugar, and it also has good nutrition and efficacy, and was loved by many people in the previous life, and today Loren Hill wants to try to make a batch of candy, one is that the candy is more convenient to carry, and the other is that when you go out in the future, the maple syrup is easy to spoil after a long time.

She then placed all three chopped baking trays in the original earthenware oven, then closed the lid of the oven and placed the oven on a shelf inside the fireplace, allowing the flame to keep baking.

And after she had cleaned up the hall, she sat by the fireplace and waited quietly.

Outside the window of the room, you can still see the falling snowflakes, the sky is slowly darkening, some snow is piled up on the window frame, and the glass is also covered with a layer of hoarfrost, so that people can't really see the outside situation, only the sound of the wind whining and blowing.

The girl is wearing a white winter skirt with fluff on the neckline, sleeves and corners, and a shawl on the shoulders of the winter skirt, which looks very layered as a whole, and has a better warmth effect on the shoulders that are easy to catch a cold.

Speaking of which, this dress was added by the Lamia Chamber of Commerce, and when she left, the head maid of Chelsea asked her to accept it compulsively, because clothes don't necessarily fit when given to others, and it's not good to leave them in the warehouse.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy soon after returning to the Tixilan Mountains.

On the small table in front of the girl lay thick books, along with some notes, which were prepared for future enrollment.

Although there are letters of recommendation, Amenas will do some tests, such as writing, history, mathematics, etc. Otherwise, if the students recruited are illiterate, they will not be able to learn many things if they want to, which will not only waste a lot of time, but also cause great pressure on the students themselves.

At least you will be admitted to the school if you pass the school, and if the grades do not meet a certain standard, you will have to make up for it in the first grade, and I have to say that mathematics is really a universal subject, even in the transcendent world, this one is also very important.

I heard Lan Li'er say that in order to enter the tutor of the magic sequence, you must have an excellent math score or above. In addition, the requirements for subjects in each college are also different, such as the angel sequence requires good language scores or above, the necromantic sequence also requires mathematics or above, the war sequence requires code scores, and the natural sequence also requires plants and herbs.

If you want to enter a college, you need to be ready in the first year, and in the second year, you will have a division promotion, and if you fail to make the promotion, you will have to repeat the grade and continue to wait for the next year. Many students in remote areas with a weak foundation will be stuck in this hurdle, and many have to study two first-year grades before they can advance to the second-year.

Although the college is a fifth-year system, in fact, there are only a few people who can complete their studies within five years.

When Loren Hill left Hopeland, Lady Felia gave her some books to read and prepare in advance.

This reminded her of the intense and fulfilling years of high school. If college life is fluffy marshmallows, then high school is a tight, stone-like compressed cookie.

Can you imagine that you can write a gel pen refill in 2-3 days, even have to memorize words for three minutes before running in winter, and the timetable given by the teacher is accurate to what you have to do every 5 minutes.

Although some people scold the rigidity of this system, but sometimes it is because of this rigidity that some fairness is maintained, and after graduation, everyone will find that there are too many tricks that can be played in this world, and I have to sigh that there are no wonders in the world.

Retracting his thoughts a little, Lorain Hill picked up the book and looked at it, there is basically no problem with language and writing, and mathematics, it is about the same as junior high and high school, and after a little review, you can basically remember it.

The main name of the natural herb department is a change from that of Professor Trinatha, and it is quick to get acquainted with it. It's not easy to learn the subject of the code, most of which are new things in the past few hundred years, and the customs vary from place to place, so if you want to learn it well, you have to read it with a history book.

The warm firelight reflected the books, the soft blanket was on his lap, leaning on the back of the chair, looking at the boring entry, Lorain Hill felt a little sleepy, although a little bored, but with his extraordinary physique, his memory is also very good, and he still memorizes the regulations slowly.

After a while, she felt almost done, so she took the oven down with her gloves and opened the lid, where the sugar cubes had hardened.

Gently tap it with a spatula, and then small cubes are stacked on the plate, and the orange-yellow maple syrup is like a crystal clear amber.

: With the juice of the transcendent fruit and the syrup of the amber red maple, heated and concentrated, the sugar cube baked into a block of sugar, due to the enhancement characteristics of the amber maple syrup, the effect of the original transcendent fruit is better, which can greatly improve the physique and enhance the cultivation effect.

Picking up an amber sugar cube, it was still a little hot, and Lorain Hill cooled it down with the wind before putting it in his mouth.

Whew, it's hot, it's sweet. A wonderful sensation melts down the fructose into the mouth and then turns into a warm current in the stomach, which is very comfortable.

By the way, prepare some for the bunnies, too. Thinking of the group of children he saw at the rabbit-eared school the day before yesterday, Loren Hill suddenly wanted to make a cameo appearance as Santa Claus and leave some good memories of these children's childhood.

As soon as she thought of it, she squatted in front of the cabinet, opened the cabinet door, and rummaged through the wood pulp paper she had once made.

The light yellow wood pulp paper is not thick, because it is made of trees with finer fibers, and when the girl took it out of the cupboard, it was still as smooth as it was back then, and it was very well preserved.

The paper is cut into small squares, then wrapped in candy cubes, tied with ribbons, tied into bows, and finally put into jars.

The orange fire reflected her face, and Lorain Hill carefully prepared winter gifts for the children.

ps: Sorry sorry, I'm late for the update tonight, and I'll update the next chapter tomorrow during the day.

In fact, there are some caves and hesitations, just like standing in front of the three-way intersection and not knowing which way to go, the heroic legends of the teenagers intertwined and colliding, the great revolution of steel and industry, the fairy tales between witches, and the exotic scenery of fantasy and magic.

If you have any ideas, you can leave a message in the comment area, I want to know what you think~
