As Alice left, the three-eyed crow, who had been waiting in the corridor for a long time, spotted the gap and quietly sneaked into Leah's room.

When she returned home, despite her confusion and apprehension, she still felt a sense of security that she had not felt for a long time, and the surging exhaustion swept over her, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.

Eye of Insight, activate!

Tiredness increases by 5%.

Name: Leah Sander.

Belief in God: Blessed of the Holy Spirit, God of Light, Azumat.

Faith: 27% (Believe)

Loss: 74% (worried)

Trait: Inactive

Potential: ★★★★

It seems that Alice's achievements and ideological work have not been in vain, and Leah's faith has dropped from 43% at the beginning to 27%, which shows that her heart has begun to be entangled and has also produced some kind of wavering.

Still, it wasn't a good time to dive into her dreams. The loss of 74% proves that she is in a very bad mental state, and she is at war, full of worries and doubts.

This kind of moment appears in the dream realm, and I am afraid that there will be more unpredictability. After all, she is more mature than other girls, and she has been brainwashed by the Holy Spirit Church.

I can't eat Sarajevo in a hurry.

Digging into the foot of the wall, of course, requires a lot of patience.

The first native four-star witch, there is no room for error.

I believe that Alice's golden shovel will be able to complete the task successfully.

......

"Alice, you see, this should be corn. It's really weird. "In the spacious working barn, a small world has been carved out, and the green corn stalks are tall and strong.

"It's really strange, like a small tree, is this a crop from other continents?" Alice stood in the corn field, curiously touching the wide and thin leaves, "Why can't you see the fruit?"

"We're wondering. Luna frowned slightly, plucked a spindle-shaped, leaf-wrapped thing from a corn tree, and tore it open with her hand, revealing only a white corn cob with some tiny yellowish spots on it.

It was clearly an incomplete, stunted ear of corn, but Luna and the others were clearly unaware of the basics of pollination.

As for the barley that Luna once planted, it was all due to self-pollination, and the pistils and stamens were so close together that they could barely complete pollination.

Corn, on the other hand, is different from barley in that it is a monoecious cross-flower plant that can be self-pollinated or cross-pollinated. However, the male and female flowers, one on the top of the plant and the other on the underside of the plant, need the assistance of the wind, or a certain amount of time.

It seems that the abundant elves also have limitations, and they can indeed make plants grow quickly, but they cannot replace the pollination routes such as wind power and bees.

However, it was not completely fruitless, as about thirty or forty corns, a dozen of them spaced close together, were pollinated and ears of corn were produced through the wind from the windows during the interlude when Luna regained her powers.

"Luna, come and see. ”

The first to spot the plump ears of corn was Elena, who carefully peeled off the ears and leaves, and finally saw the expected golden kernels.

"Huh?" Luna and Alice hurried over.

"That's it. Luna happily plucked the corn and touched the kernels, "Great, this one was a success." ”

Alice frowned, "Strange, Luna, the seeds are all the same, right? Why, some bear fruit and some don't?"

"Hmm......" Luna tilted her head, "I can't tell, but the elves are doing their best to take care of them." Perhaps, we can ask the gods? This must be the knowledge of nature, right?"

"There are two strains here too. Linda also found two other plants that produced corn on the cob.

Luna licked her lips, "It's our first time planting, and it's understandable. Now everyone hurry up to find out if there are any other fruits. ”

Everyone split up and found a total of seventeen ears of corn, and Luna picked out five or six ears of full grains from them, and said with a smile, "These few are kept as seeds, and the rest are ...... Hehe, that's what we're going to use to make candy, guys! ”

Not only Luna, but Alice and the others are full of anticipation?

The procedural steps had been rehearsed many times in Alice's mind. In the malt breeding room, under Alice's methodical command, the barley grains that have been sprouted are cleaned and chopped by Linda herself. On the other side, Luna and Alice cook the corn kernels until there is no white core, and then dry them.

Finally, the corn kernels are cooled, mixed with chopped barley malt, and placed in a soup pot to cover and ferment.

Busy from noon to late afternoon, the mixture is filled with fermentation and packed into cloth bags. Then comes the most critical step – squeezing.

Regarding this step, the most laborious thing is hand pressing, which can be done with Linda's strength. But Alice had experience in making fruit juicers, and her thinking diverged, and she invented a juicer that specialized in pressing cloth bags.

The structure is very simple, the cylinder made of Beska steel, the lower opening is connected to the steel pipe to make the juice mouth, and the top is installed with a circular pressure plate, and the pressing power adopts the most familiar form of the crank, with a threaded crank rod, which is fixed by the crossbar, and only needs to be rotated to promote the pressure plate to press down.

I have to say that Alice's idea is very interesting and practical, like a prototype of a clay juicer.

This shows that Alice's understanding of knowledge has reached a higher level. As long as Qin Song is guided, she can completely make more sophisticated machines on her own.

"Oh my God, Alice, you're really good. Luna surrounds the juicer and marvels, "I can use my knowledge to invent new tools." ”

Alice smiled and nodded, "All the inspiration comes from the gods. Linda, let's get started. ”

"Okay!"

Linda put the cloth bag like a cylinder, covered it with a pressure plate, held the crank in her hand, and took a deep breath: "Elena, you have to pick it up." ”

"Hmm!"

With the rotation of the crank, the screw is pressed down, and the power is transmitted to the platen, which squeezes the cloth bag, and the thick liquid in the form of brownish-red slowly flows out of the juice outlet and falls into the pottery bowl in Elena's hand.

Alice and Luna both lean over and look curiously at the candy they had made together.

A faint mixture of sweetness and mushy reverberated through their nostrils, and Luna couldn't help but lick her tongue, "Sweet, really sweet." ”

Linda's strength was strong enough, and the juicer was efficient enough, and soon she was reaping a clay bowl full of translucent amber maltose juice.

Then, the four of them gathered around curiously and discussed it with great grabbism.

"It's amazing, isn't it? Wheat and corn are mixed to produce such strange sugar. ”

"Looks like honey. ”

"Mm-hmm, but it's thicker than honey. ”

"It's curious, it's sweet, it's a bit like some kind of toasted paste. ”

"I'd love to try it. ”

"Wait a minute, Luna. ”

Alice pulled out a piece of parchment from her pocket, which detailed how to make it, as well as several simple ways to eat it that the gods had taught them.

"Let's try the first way to eat it – stirring sugar. ”

That is, the most classic way to eat, Qin Song's childhood memories - stirring sugar. The production method is very simple, strain the sugar juice, fry it over high heat to form a paste, cool it, and stir it out with two wooden sticks.

Guarding a small bowl of boiled thick sugar juice, the four of them all held two smooth and clean small wooden sticks in their hands, looked at each other, and were eager to try, their faces full of anticipation that could not be concealed.

"Wait a minute!" Luna said as she frothed at the mouth, "This is the result of the four of us, the crystallization of knowledge, the gift of the great gods. So, we should give it a resounding name. ”

"Loud name?" Elena whispered, "Didn't the gods say it was called stirring sugar?"

"Well, stirring sugar is just how it eats. ”

Linda said tentatively, "Tell Krem to stir the sugar?"

"No, no. The name of the gods is to be honored. How can you just take it and name sugar. Luna shook her head and pursed her lips, "Yes, Alice has the most credit for this!

"Nope!"

"Nope!"

"Luna, you've got a lot to do, corn. ”

"Hey, hey. Luna stuck out her tongue and said, "Alice, don't be modest. The sugar press you invented is much more powerful than mine. I think, why don't you just ask Alice to stir the sugar?"
