Chapter 83: 9331
Although the meal was almost entirely vegetarian, Su Fei was very satisfied, and in the middle of the dinner, Su Fei saw a witch enter through the small door on one side, and the witch said to Quentin, "Tower Master, the pearl seeds are ripe." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Sophie was a little curious about the name, but it must have been a new dish.
"Serve it out. Quentin said to the witch.
Soon, Su Fei saw the witch walking out of the kitchen with a small wooden barrel, a faint sweet fragrance wafted over, and the barrel was still steaming, Su Fei shrugged his nose, he always felt that this smell was very familiar......
The witch placed the barrel on the table, with a wooden spoon stuck in it.
I'll go...... This is?!
Su Fei stared at the wooden barrel, and his eyes were about to pop out, and the wooden barrel was full of these particles, one by one, like elongated pearls, in a round ellipsoidal shape, and the spoon was inserted on it, it could be seen that these pearl-like particles had a certain stickiness at the fracture, and the fragrant and glutinous breath lingered around the barrel.
This...... Isn't that rice!
Su Fei was shocked, he pointed to the wooden barrel and asked, "Lord Quentin Tower, is this ...... Pearl seeds, you cultivated them?"
"That's right. Quentin was also a little surprised by Sophie's appearance, and if he was surprised, shouldn't the all-flower banquet at that table just now be more shocking, but why was he interested in this kind of pearl seed, which was not very good-looking, and was not the best in taste?
Well...... Everyone's tastes are different, Quentin thought to himself.
"Tower Master, is this kind of pearl seed high in yield, is it difficult to cultivate, and how long does the growth cycle take?" asked Su Fei again and again.
"Mr. Sophie is interested in pearl seeds?" said Quentin, "I discovered them when I was out walking, when I saw a few wild plants, and after picking them and studying them, I found that the seeds of this plant swell when they are boiled in water, and become very soft and waxy, and have a faint sweetness to eat. ā
"So, I moved those weeds to the flower field of the Wizard's Tower. As if to introduce something mundane, Quentin said, "I picked some pearl seeds, planted them in the flower field, and a month later I had a whole box of pearl seeds. ā
Su Fei hurriedly put some on his plate, and he couldn't wait to bring a spoonful of rice to his mouth.
"Mr. Sophie, this pearl seed needs to be drizzled with sauce to taste. Quentin saw that Su Fei was in such a hurry, and he didn't have time to pour a jar of flower jam in his hand on the pearl seeds.
However, Su Fei didn't want to speak now, his mouth was filled with the sweetness of rice, and he even felt the urge to cry now.
This is a different world! Su Fei thought that after coming here, he would not be able to eat rice for the rest of his life, although the bread here also tasted good, but it was definitely not as good as Su Fei's daily staple food when he was on earth - rice!
As for rice, you have to eat it with sauce...... Although she admired Quentin's research in plant cultivation and pharmacy, Su Fei still silently despised Quentin for a second.
Isn't rice just to be delicious in its original flavor? That kind of fragrant and glutinous taste, after the entrance and saliva are fully mixed, the starch is decomposed into maltose under the catalysis of amylase, this soft and glutinous sweet taste, what do you natives of the other world know?
Of course, if you have the magic condiment of Lao Gan Ma, it's a different matter.
"Lord Quentin Tower, how did you come up with the idea of using this kind of thing as a staple food?" asked Su Fei.
"The main dish?" asked Quentin, "Mr. Sophie, this is just one of our dishes, and as for the main dish, it is bread baked with wheat that I have carefully cultivated. ā
In this world, people's staple food is generally bread, and the average common man can only afford to eat roasted black rye bread, and wheat, a food with a more delicate taste, can only occasionally be beaten to change the taste.
It seems that this is a matter of taste, even if Quentin has cultivated rice, but he is more fond of bread, which is understandable, after all, for Su Fei, it is okay to let him eat bread once in a while, but it is a little uncomfortable to let him eat bread every day.
Under Quentin's strange gaze, Su Fei refused to pour the sauce on the pearl seeds, and also refused the jam bread that was brought up later, a small bucket of rice, and Su Fei was actually ...... Finished eating.
"Mr. Sophie, it seems that you are very fond of pearl seeds. Quentin said.
"Of course. Su Fei Zhengse said, "Master Quentin Tower, if it's convenient, can I buy a batch from you and go back?"
Su Fei proposed to buy some pearl seeds, but he didn't want to sell them to the earthlings, although he had a good evaluation of the pearl seeds just now, but this is also based on Su Fei's distance from the earth, there is a kind of hometown where the plot is, if objectively speaking, the level of rice cultivation on the earth is still much higher than that of Quentin, and the pearl seeds are of medium quality at best.
"Haha, since you like Mr. Su Fei, then I'll give you some, anyway, there are so many of them here for me, and there is no more use. Quentin readily agreed, after all, in his eyes, pearl seeds were a dish......
After dinner, Su Fei listened to Quentin talk about his experience in cultivating various plants and about these flower dishes, but he didn't get to the point at all! Quentin invited him over, not just for a meal, and ......
The five hundred golden dragons......
"Master Quentin Tower, let's get down to business, I brought all the instant noodles and snake grass water you asked me to bring. Su Fei said.
After dinner, the witch that Su Fei had just seen here also walked into the restaurant, and when she was cleaning up the table, she heard Su Fei's words, she said with a smile: "Mr. Su Fei, these are not in a hurry, the tower master is very persistent in pharmacy, and now the light outside has dimmed, and it is not suitable for experiments, if the tower master is allowed to get that kind of 'holy water' now, I am afraid that the tower master will not be able to sleep tonight." ā
"Ahem...... Anna, in front of outsiders, you don't have to say that. Quentin said, "Mr. Sophie, let's talk about the experiment tomorrow during the day, I have arranged a lodging for you, and now that the sun has not completely set, I will take you to see the flower field of our wizard's tower." ā
"Flower field!" said Vivien, who seemed to be fond of all kinds of flowers, "are they all planted behind this?"
"In addition to flowers, there are other plants. Quentin stood up and walked to the side of the small door.
Su Fei followed Quentin around the stone tower, and what appeared in front of Su Fei was the flower field that Quentin had just mentioned.
But...... This is a field of flowers! This can clearly be called a sea of flowers!
Su Fei could only refer to the busy people walking back and forth in the flower field, which was centered on the Wizard's Tower, in the shape of a fan, and the area was at least ten standard football fields.
The flower fields were divided into patches, and the plants planted in each area were different, and as far as Su Fei could see, there were no more than a handful of plants that he could name.
Quentin led Sophie into the flower field to the area closest to the stone tower.
"Recently, I've been working on this flower, which is commonly known as the beauty flower, which grinds the petals into a powder and mixes them with water to wash their faces and bathe their faces, which can make their skin whiter, and many women like to use this kind of thing in the Rhine. Quentin stroked the half-human-tall plant beside him and said.
No wonder, whether it is Nicole who came to Copperhorn Street to find Sophie, or Anna the wizard Tari and other witches, or even Quentin himself, his skin looks very healthy, and even white and delicate, perhaps because of this, Quentin, who is in his forties, still looks like a young man in his twenties.
For this flower, Vivian also showed a very high interest in this flower, after listening to Quentin's description, as a girl, it is her nature to love beauty.
"However, there are clearly four kinds of flowers, and the four species seem to appear randomly, and they seem to have a certain pattern...... Quentin continued.
Quentin pointed to a white-petaled plant next to him and said, "This is a tall stalk white petal species. ā
He pointed to a few more plants next to him and said, "There are also high-stemmed pink petal species, dwarf stalk white petal species, and dwarf stalk pink petal species." ā
"Of these, only the white petals of the dwarf stalk work best, but the variety with the white petals of the dwarf stalk has the fewest ...... of the four."
Quentin pinched his chin with his right hand, as if thinking.
Next to him, however, Sophie had something else in mind......
Su Fei pondered for a moment, with the idea of giving it a try, and said to Quentin: "Lord Quentin Tower, in your flower field, is the ratio of the number of four flowers ...... 9ļ¼3ļ¼3ļ¼1ļ¼ā
