Chapter 7, Desserts from Another World (2)

Waiting is always full of suffering, and Mebes spares no effort to make every brand new bread, because he knows that only by constantly comprehending can he make achievements on the original foundation. The strength to blaze a trail comes from a solid foundation, like a pruned sponge, soaked in nutrient-rich seawater, soaking up as much as you can.

The dough is spread out, rolled out into a long shape, retracted, placed, and waiting for fermentation, the complex process makes Mebes indulge in it all the time, quietly watching the thin dough gradually expand under the warm back kitchen, he knows that this is the yeast Jun is constantly reproducing and producing gas, converting the starch in the flour into sugar that is easy for the body to absorb.

Mebes, who has never seen such a miraculous change with her own eyes, feels the mystery contained in it, and her heart seems to become peaceful at this moment. In order to make this type of bread more fluffy and have neat and small pores, it is essential to roll out the fat dough after a fermentation, roll it out again from top to bottom, remove the carbon dioxide in it again, repeat the first action, roll up the fat dough again and put it into the mold, cover it with a damp cloth for the final fermentation, and take advantage of this long fermentation, the cooled cake should also be baked.

The brownish-yellow outer layer slowly cracks like an angry volcano, and the demolded cake is tall and does not collapse, and the golden yellow exterior is soft and fragrant. Smelling the aroma of eggs and flour, Mebis held back the greed in her stomach, held the sharp hilt, and gently sank into the towering cake, the blade cut down, without a pause, and the soft texture was clearly transmitted to Mebes's brain through the handle.

With a swift and sharp stroke, it was divided into eight equal triangular pieces of cake, a delicacy that of course could not be eaten in one sitting, even if he was now eager to swallow the whole cake in one bite. Mebis picked up a piece, slowly opened her mouth, closed her eyes and enjoyed it quietly.

The mouth is like butter and tender, light taste, light taste and rich egg flavor surround each other, as the teeth continue to chew, the milky aroma brought by the butter melts into wisps of fragrance, such food is very common there.

Thinking of the wide variety of desserts in that world, Mebes found a delicacy that was very suitable for young people, but it was difficult to form without the corresponding abrasives, and the old man Meili in the town estimated that he could help him make a batch of iron tools of the right size.

In the afternoon when the sun was still abundant, a handsome young man carrying a basket of fragrant bamboo passed through various locations in the town, constantly distributing fragrant cakes to acquaintances on the street. Soon they came to a blacksmith shop that emitted boiling heat, and the sound of "staring" kept coming from inside, and the young man shouted loudly, "Master Merry", and in a moment, a short man with a bare upper body roared out of the iron door of the shop:

"What are you yelling about, huh? Mebis, hahaha"

Heavy laughter almost spread through the nearby streets, and with a pair of big hands slapping the young man's broad shoulders fiercely, feeling the strength of the young man's body, Uncle Merry seemed a little surprised:

"Yes, boy, it's all official knights... Peak? There was a hint of doubt in his tone

"I remember that you didn't officially come to it a few days ago...."Eh, I should have misremembered, ahhahaha, the uncle slapped his bare head hard, and there was a burst of laughter like a bronze bell.

Mebis didn't tell the truth, and it was better to hide some things in his heart to avoid unnecessary trouble. I told Uncle Merry about the specific shape and size of the abrasive, and the uncle agreed:

"Build it now, and I guess I can come and get it early tomorrow morning"

After paying Uncle Merry 2 gold coins, the boy slowly left. The uncle looked at the two shining golden coins in his palm and muttered:

"It seems that His Highness has grown up" and then didn't know what to think, a relieved smile appeared on the scarred face,

"Old, it's time..., if Your Highness, hey, I'm really looking forward to the faces of that group of people" turned around and returned to the cast iron room, leaving a word that was unconscious.

Looking at the six floating brown-yellow embryos in the tin box, Mebis felt the expanding vitality and realized once again how amazing this microorganism called 'yeast' is, and the soft bread is undoubtedly more attractive than the 'bricks' in the town that are so hard that they can kill people.

Putting the dry pine wood into the stove makes some of the warm furnace temperature hot again, in terms of temperature control, Mebis has long been an excellent master, recalling that when he was a child, he often burned black ingredients and squatted by the stove in frustration, and his father carefully taught him how to identify the fire, how to control the temperature, and the difference between the wood will also affect the final aroma.

"Everything has a soul, and the fire is no exception, your eyes can't see, but your heart can feel it"

Mebis kept this sentence in mind, and looked at the burning wood in the furnace in a daze, the fiery red light reflected on the skin of the young Bai Zhe, and the green eyes were mixed with bright red.

After reaching into the slender right hand and feeling the right temperature, the dough that has been fermented to 9 minutes is put into the stove, and at the same time, the small wooden lid is blocked with the arched entrance, and the hourglass is quietly waited.

Mebis straightened her arms, and then realized that she hadn't trained as a knight in a few days. The boy took off his torn sackcloth and went to the open grass outside the tavern. Every knight must use the breathing method to stimulate the hidden power of the body, the efficient breathing method can greatly reduce the wear and tear of the body, as well as improve the progress of the practice, most of the knight method is in the hands of the nobles, it is impossible to spread among the commoners, if you want to become a knight, you must not only have the qualification to stimulate your potential, but also join the nobles and return to the loyal lord, which will reward the corresponding breathing method.

But it is often some castrated version, if you want to carry out a higher level of cultivation, unless you have outstanding military achievements, the breathing method owned by the lord itself is also the key, under the suppression of high-end force, the empire rarely happens that civilians are dissatisfied with the lord and want to rebel, even if the lord is brutal and greedy, the commoners can only sigh and continue to tremble and live.

Mebis knows very well that an apprentice knight who does not enter the stream can easily solve 3 or 4 ordinary adult men with his bare hands, not to mention the formal knights above, the strength is too different, and the resistance of civilians is just a senseless struggle, not to mention that the perennial war on the continent has made the population base smaller and smaller, take Green Town as an example, the entire resident population is less than 1000 people, but it covers an area of 2/3 of the size of another worldly city, and there is no certain number of how to face the powerful and desperate knight legion.

Today, there are only 4 countries living in the Ash Continent, all of which are crowded in the relatively safe east, and most of the western areas are infested with fierce beasts and have been abandoned for a long time in the wild jungle. The mutual restraint between countries, coupled with the continental chaos 100 years ago, the vast land and the small number of people, made these countries have no desire to provoke wars, and each of them multiplies in its own territory.

Mebis's breathing method was given to him by his father, it is said to come from the Northland Federation, called "Hekarem Knight's Breathing Method", recalling the movements in his mind, with the high ground of the breathing rate, the limbs are constantly dancing,

"Black Fox Digs Heart"

"Stars on the plane"

With the breathing method shrinking one by one, Mebis has faintly felt the barrier of breakthrough, but he is not anxious, but continues to control the power of his body that has skyrocketed before, compared to rapid advancement, he wants to have a solid foundation, and naturally step into the realm of the big knight, because Dad said, "The so-called big knight, but physically stronger than the official knight, there is no process of qualitative change."

Mebes, who had completed a light training, had sweaty skin on her body that looked particularly shiny, and the boy smelled the mesmerizing burnt fragrance in the air, and ran to the wooden house with some anxiety

When I removed the wooden plank, I saw that the water evaporated under the action of heat, and the bread bursting, like a small volcano, broke free from the constraints of the iron box, and the towering brownish-yellow surface, the golden roasted kiwi kernels, a burst of fruity and burnt aroma swept in. The brown crust of bread is the product of the "Maillard reaction" of the embryo body, a phenomenon that occurs mostly in meat and baked goods.

Putting the hot box on the wooden board off the ground to cool, looking at the faintly darkened sky outside, Mebis touched his hungry belly from training, and the empty kitchen also showed that there were no ingredients to make here,

"Then let's go to the tavern and eat."

Mebis counted the few gold coins she had, forcibly suppressed the hunger of 'Goo', hurriedly locked the door, and headed to the brightly lit town.
