【Chapter 504】 Hands are fast, hands are slow

The experimental farmland area surrounded by brick walls is vertical and horizontal, and the farmland is neatly lined like a grid, planted with all kinds of plants. A dug aqueduct runs through it, connecting the small river in the town of Daotan, where two magic engine pumps provide irrigation power.

At the end of school, Veronica takes a group of girls through the fields, teaching them how to work and telling them about the origin and purpose of the plants.

"Teacher, teacher. Can I buy these seeds at home?"

"Yes, soon the Blackstone Firm will be officially open to everyone. Some of the selected fine seeds will be put on the shelves. ”

"That's great, our family can harvest a lot of food, and my brother won't be hungry anymore. ”

"Teacher, what about these vegetables? I like to eat wolf peaches so much, can I grow them at home?"

"Absolutely. ”

"Wow! That's great, I'm going to ask my dad to buy wolf peach seeds." ”

"Teacher, the truth of pollination is really amazing. Can you tell us more about that?"

"Can ......"

Qin Song looked at these girls with satisfaction, they were all poor children at the bottom of society, and there was almost no chance to change their fate. But now, not only do they have enough to eat, but they can also learn knowledge, play games together, and enjoy a wonderful childhood as children.

They are like the vibrant plants in the farmland, the hope for the future of the Blackstone Collar.

Leading the oppressed, ushering in laughter, ushering in hope, there is a wonderful sense of accomplishment.

Veronica is a qualified teacher, knowledgeable, patient and gentle, and cares for each child, earning them favor and respect.

In the hearts of children, Veronica is like a beacon of knowledge, illuminating their lives.

Veronica also enjoyed it.

Qin Song didn't disturb their teachers and students, and took Alice, Luna, and Monica through a farmland to the gate of the farm.

Allen, whose legs had recovered, was holding a wooden fork to sort out the hay, and when he saw Qin Song approaching him, he hurriedly put down the wooden fork and stood aside obediently.

Although he had suffered severe psychological trauma, he knew how to be grateful. From his sister's mouth, he knew who had given him legs.

Those timid eyes were full of gratitude, and their lips squirmed, but there were words that could not be spoken.

Qin Song nodded to him in a friendly manner, and his tone was gentle: "Allen, how are you feeling now?Is there anything wrong with your legs?"

"I didn't ...... No. Aaron stammered and replied, "Thank you, Your Excellency, thank you, thank you." I feel...... It feels good. ”

"That's good. Qin Song nodded with satisfaction, Alan and Monica are twins, they are very delicate, the activation of the witch's potential has given him magic in his body, his body just looks thin, but in fact, his physique is even better than that of adults.

"I heard that Luna gave you the responsibility of raising sheep?"

Alan clenched his fists nervously, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from his forehead: "I...... I will definitely work well. ”

"Don't be nervous, take us around. ”

Alan quickly glanced at Monica, who was following behind, and the latter nodded lightly with an encouraging smile on her face.

Alan breathed a sigh of relief, put the fork against the wall, and led them into the farm. Looking at his figure, Qin Song suddenly remembered the tragic and helpless scene when he was tied to a tree, abused by the housekeeper.

The influence of the environment on the character is too deep, and it can only be smoothed out with time and warmth.

A brick house made of red bricks, divided into four pens, each holding a dozen lambs. This distinction is made to verify the relationship between the growth rate of lambs and the amount of vine of life ingested.

Of course, that's not the point today.

Leave it to Luna to explore on her own, and she doesn't have to do everything herself.

The focus is on picking a fat little lamb to solve the dinner problem. Then, take the opportunity to move on to Monica and Allen's divine powers.

After inspecting the farm in a similar way, a fat, greedy, strong and lively little lamb became the lucky one for dinner.

In Blackstone Collar, pasta has largely replaced bread. The mill, which uses the magic engine, produces more delicate wheat noodles and is more efficient.

The promotion of pasta was led by Carrick and several diligent peasant women, after learning various methods of making pasta, and then first promoted it among the aborigines of the Black Stone Collar, whose soft taste and simple production methods easily conquered every household.

Today, the first batch of aborigines of the Black Stone Collar live in red brick houses, cultivate magic wheat, eat steamed noodles, and their quality of life has been greatly improved, and their recognition of the Star Temple is very high.

The real affordability, the real abundance, is the most impressive.

Today, Qin Song is taking Alice and them to explore a new kind of pasta - grilled naan, which is paired with the most authentic staple food of mutton skewers.

Luna, who is in charge of cooking, rolls up her sleeves and is happily kneading the dough, only to see the yellowish dough kneaded by her delicate little hands, constantly deforming, and finally patting into a flat dough with a smooth surface.

"Qin, do you need to ferment?"

"Just a little fermentation. ”

In the open space next to the conservatory of the farm, a four-foot-high earthen stove was built, made of red brick and clay, and the overall style resembled a water tank upside down on the ground, with ventilation holes at the bottom to improve the combustion efficiency.

Set up a vigorous firewood, and it didn't take long for the earthen stove to dry completely.

On the other side, Luna and Monica work together to make the flat dough according to his instructions, and then stick them to the red-hot walls of the kiln one by one, and then seal the top of the stove.

The next thing is to wait for the baked naan to come out.

In fact, Qin Song has only eaten and seen roasted naan, and the specific steps only have a rough outline. So, the first roasted naan was experimental.

However, the delicate wheat noodles are fermented with salt and eggs, and even if the steps are not accurate, the taste of the roast will not be too bad.

The trial production of roasted naan is not only to satisfy the appetite of the tongue, but also has another purpose - military rations.

The current form faced by the Blackstone Collar is more than enough for self-preservation, and the next step is to attack and expand the territory. A kind of pasta that can fill the stomach, and the process is simple, and it is easy to store for a long time, which can be regarded as an urgent need.

There is no need for a pot to bake naan, the stove can be set up on the spot, and the baked naan lacks moisture and has a longer shelf life, so there is no problem as a short-term military ration.

While waiting for the naan, the minced lamb marinated in onions, salt and eggs is fully flavored, and Alice and her sisters carefully skewer it into a skewer with wooden skewers.

The stove for kebabs is made of two rows of red bricks, and the inside is covered with red-hot charcoal. Qin Song moved a small bench and sat next to him, took the meat skewers skewered by the witch in his hand and put them one by one, flipped, oiled, and sprinkled cumin, and was familiar with the road.

Fresh lamb meat, roasted under the charcoal fire, mutton fat rattling, exuding a rich and attractive fragrance, making Qin Song nostalgic for the nightlife of the past.

The brothers are skewering, eating spicy crayfish, and drinking beer, and they don't feel too cool.

Turning his head to look at those little witches, he could only comfort himself, it's not bad now, at least there are a lot of beautiful girls, accompanied by skewers, instead of a few rough men full of meat.

Fresh lamb meat is cut into small pieces, marinated with salt, onions and eggs, and thoroughly roasted over a red charcoal fire, then sprinkled with fried ground cumin powder, the rich aroma of mutton fat and the aroma of cumin are mixed into a strange aroma that tempts the mouth.

Luna grabbed four or five lamb skewers in each hand, expertly stuffed them into her mouth, and pulled them hard, and the delicious lamb fell into her mouth, puffing out her cheeks and chewing, with an intoxicated expression on her face.

When she saw the mutton skewers on the stove, when Qin Song announced that they were almost cooked, she instantly stretched out several small hands, and when she scrambled to grab them, she said indistinctly: "Leave me a bunch, leave me a bunch." ”

"Here you go, Sister Luna. ”

Monica hurriedly handed over the only string in her hand.

"You're only a bunch, so don't let it go. Hey, Alice, I just saw you take three strings! so greedy, give me a bunch quickly. ”

As she spoke, the two strings in her hand were wiped out, and she stretched out a pair of shiny little hands to beg for it.

At present, Alice did not have the reserve and elegance that a nobleman should have, and quickly stroked a string into her mouth, before spreading her hands and saying: "Hands are fast, hands are slow." Hehe, you wait a little longer. ”

"Oh, Qin, here you go. ”

Alice, who refused Luna's 'unreasonable request', generously gave up the two skewers to Qin Song, who had never eaten a few skewers.

Luna's resentful little eyes, swept Alice, and swept Qin Song, who gladly accepted, and was even more sure that there must have been some ulterior little story between them.

Halfway through the kebab, Veronica, who had finished the day's teaching, arrived with her protégé, Joe, who had solved the boat engine problem.

"It's so fragrant, I can smell it from afar. ”

"Hello everyone. Joe, who had a cheerful personality and had light blue hair tied into a ponytail, was very capable and greeted everyone in a friendly manner.

Although Joe only has two stars, he solves the problem of marine engines and is crucial for future development.

Coupled with her simple and lively personality, she has won everyone's love.

Except for Leah, who was still busy working, and Elena and Linda, who were on the ship for sea trials, all the witches of the Black Stone Collar were there. While enjoying the lamb skewers, Monica's new abilities are also discussed.

After Qin Song's verification, Monica's new ability is called [Super Giant Transformation], that is, using magic to change the size of objects and make them huge, and the duration and size are related to the amount of magic power. Her brother Alan's corresponding new ability is [Ultra-Micro Transformation], which, as the name suggests, shrinks items.

The two opposite abilities, taken together, are to change the size of an object.

As for the use, it is the focus of discussion.

Luna believes that this ability is important, such as making the lamb skewers bigger and enjoying them all at once.

Got a unanimous laugh from everyone.

Alice believes that this ability can be used on the battlefield, such as the enormity of some weapons and equipment, which greatly increases its power.

This is indeed a feasible method, and after testing, Monica's super giant deformation will increase in equal proportions while the form increases. There should be no problem with a small cannon turning into a cannon in a short period of time.

However, Qin Song was more interested in ultra-slight deformation.

If the assumption is correct, the ultra-fine deformation changes the size of the object and the mass decreases as well.

So, is there a possibility to miniaturize some powerful weapons to make them easy to transport, or even easy to carry, such as heavy fortress-type cannons, which are miniaturized and transported to the front line and erected directly on the spot.

Veronica's train of thought is more interesting.

The starting point comes from her sigil ability, and in her conception, she can use the super giant transformation sigil to create a magic array that connects to the supply of mana, and the form of the object placed in it will be greatly magnified. When leaving the magic circle, it will revert to its original state.

Ideas can also be used for ultra-fine transformation, such as creating a container that connects to the supply of mana, and the items placed in it will automatically shrink, increasing the carrying capacity per unit volume.

Perhaps this idea is extended to the extreme, will there be a portable capsule in Dragon Ball?
