[Eating is a big deal. Food is something that should never be overlooked, and nowhere is this more evident than in other worlds. - Two-headed insect in the 146th year of the 4th era of Guangming]

A few days later, I was woken up by a loud vibration, and I didn't get enough sleep and felt extremely irritable, which is commonly known as wake-up gas.

I now live on the fifth floor of the manor building, the main building of the manor castle below the Temple Square. I have always been unaccustomed to calling the Behemoth Manor Castle, and the various locations are indistinguishable, so I named them myself, the 12-story main building is called the Manor Building, and the other six auxiliary buildings are also named after themselves: the arched round roof is called the round building, the conical roof is called the spire, the cylindrical one is called the long building, the square annex building is called the square building, and the two L-shaped annex buildings are called the south building and the north building respectively according to the orientation; I still don't understand what these annex buildings are used for.

I opened the window hard and saw several tall figures running towards the manor in the distance, almost arriving at the manor's construction site.

Then I jumped straight from the fifth-floor window in a rage, rushed to the outside and shouted at the tall figure running towards me, "Who are you? Where to come from, where to go back, you are not welcome here. ”

A loud and muffled noise came from afar:

"Big-——, it's me, it's me who's back!"

"Master, Ling asks to fight!"

I was so angry that I slapped a few times on the griffin Ling's eager thigh: "Fight, fight, all day long, I know to fight, that's our giant friend, people don't see it clearly, they want to fight!" ”

The giant soon arrived, knelt down, and picked me up: "My lord, my lord, I have good news for you......"

My anger has not subsided, and I still have a strong sense of sleepiness, and I am even more angry when I see these big guys running into the manor on a rampage, making a mess of the cornerstone of the magic array.

Therefore, I interrupted the words of the giant mountain with a stinky face:

"Good news for! Look at what you've done with the construction site yourself? Work to compensate, I don't want to listen to the rest, let me down, annoyed one by one. ”

I didn't pay attention to the rest of the story, so I turned around and went back to my room and fell asleep on the bed.

Maybe it's because of using too many magic at once, or maybe it's because I haven't devoured the gods and souls for too long, anyway, I just feel extremely sleepy, and Aoguang always goes into dreams to chat with me, so I can't sleep steadily, and in the end I slept for a month.

After I woke up, the puppet butler, also known as Paul Two, informed me of the news that I had woken up, and when I heard the news that the puppet butler had woken up, Alice rushed to my bed as soon as possible and asked with concern, "Master, are you feeling unwell?" Hungry or not? ”

I smiled slightly, very pleased with Alice's concern for the child, and gently touched Alice's little head: "Thank you Alice!" I'm fine, I'm worried about you, you let me get up and wash up first. ”

When I came to the living room, the housekeeper Paul No. 2 had already brought the meal to me, a bowl of pheasant porridge.

Everything was as I expected, I tasted it, and although I was fully prepared in my heart, I still silently commented: Hmm! Sure enough, it was still unpalatable for him to meow, wasting great ingredients.

I couldn't help but ask: "Who is cooking the food in the manor?" ”

Alice actively grabbed the words: "Everyone takes turns to do it, whoever is free will do it, today it is Rebecca's second sister Dani's turn to do it, adults, do you feel like this?" ”

I almost swallowed the spoon in my stomach on the spot, put down the spoon and covered my face with both hands, I had an urge to die, and thought: No wonder every time I eat, I feel that his meow is unpalatable, like pig food, who gave me the courage to let an imperial princess cook? Sure enough, they are all a group of talents.

I pushed my chair back and quickly got up, and ran with Alice to the large cafeteria on the first floor of the manor building.

When I came to the large canteen of the manor building, I went around to the kitchen, and sure enough, I saw a few people with gray faces.

Rebecca's second sister, Dani, is still stir-frying on the stove, Rebecca's eldest sister Diana and two goblins are washing leaves, Goblin Kardashian is busy taking care of the fires on several stoves, and the other four dragon goblins are constantly cutting vegetables and meat.

I walked up behind Dani, feeling a little guilty, and made an excuse for her:

"Dani, you've been busy all morning, you should want to rest for a while, and I'll fry the rest, just watch from the side."

I rolled up my sleeves, and without waiting for Dani to reply, I took the shovel in her hand and picked up a vegetable leaf and tasted it.

Suddenly, a bitter taste filled my mouth, and I almost shouted: "Oh my mother, this is going to kill the salt seller."

Although I thought so in my heart, I quickly bit my lip and didn't dare to spit it out, I was afraid that I would really be unable to help but say it.

Fortunately, they were all freshly cooked, and they could be saved if they were not cooked, so I turned to the dragon goblin and shouted, "Bring the cut meat and vegetables." “

"If the meat is cut into too big pieces, will it be shredded?"

Seeing that the meat served was all half the size of a fist, and two large heads, I almost scolded, "Is this feeding dogs?" ”。

I muttered again in my heart: Seeing that you are so serious in cutting, I thought it would be cut very well, but I didn't expect it to be cut indiscriminately, but this can't be said, otherwise these girls with low self-esteem don't know what the guilt will become, I'd better bear with it!

After hearing this, the four dragon goblins didn't understand what I was talking about shredded meat, and they all looked at the mung beans with big eyes.

In desperation, I could only ask Kardashian to put out the fire first.

"Kardashian, put out all the fires on the stove first...... Cover it with ash first and extinguish it, and when the ash is removed, it will burn again, what! No? "Thinking about it in my head, I can't help but raise my voice.

Facing Kardashian's ignorant and confused expression, I knew that this was important again, so I quickly put down the vegetable shovel and squatted beside her to comfort and teach:

"It's okay, it's okay, there's a lot of dust in the dust, girls, they all love to be clean, it won't be normal; I'll teach you a way not to get ash, like this, take a slender burning stick, gently dial the ashes that have been burned before, keep dialing and dialing, it will automatically cover it, if you sweep the ashes up quickly, but the ashes will also be on top of the fire, then you will become a little cat! It's much easier to rekindle, you see, poke the burning stick into the middle and pick it gently, it won't be enough, if it's not big enough and you fill in two twigs, you see it will rise again; Simple, right? ”

"Uh-huh! Thank you hosts! Kardashian smiled again.

I felt speechless for a while for this group of cooking whites, not a single fire would burn, and I slandered in my heart: Why didn't you light the kitchen?

Then he quickly cut a handful, showed the dragon goblins and them, and hurried back to the stove and told Kardashian that she could start a fire.

After saving this dish, I tasted all the dishes that Dani stir-fried, either too light or too salty, or there was no taste at all, and the dishes were even more messy, some were burnt and some were half-cooked, some were burnt and some were dried, some of the salt was still hanging one by one, and some of them were not even touched by the seasoning and oil, which could be included in the cooking textbook.

No way, with Kardashian's situation, I don't dare to say it again, even if I want to be mad, I can only endure it.

I silently reprocessed Dani's dishes one by one, not daring to look at their expressions in the process; Otherwise, I'll have another attack with this damn gentleness, and I won't be able to coax it then, where can I still stir-fry.

During this process, I also had to take out the gaps to demonstrate how to cut vegetables, how to clean, and how to control firewood.

I feel that cooking this meal is not as fast as I can make it all by myself, and it is even more tiring.

In order to save the food of the manor, I got up before dawn the next day, ran alone to the vegetable garden to collect vegetables, and then told Alice and Paul 2 the housekeeper to go to the ranch area to bring back the meat.

Fortunately, the plants planted by the elves are very healthy, very clean, and very easy to clean, thinking back to the vegetables that Diana cleaned yesterday, I also guessed that it is estimated that these people harvest vegetables once every few days, not pick fresh vegetables every day.

I was washing and processing the vegetables in the kitchen alone, and it turned out that the seasoning was not a seasoning at all, except for salt and a few simple dried herbs, and I couldn't see any other seasoning, so it was no wonder that I felt very monotonous when I cooked yesterday.

Alice and Butler Paul Two brought back the meat genius Meng Mengliang, and the few people who had their turn to cook today finally appeared in the kitchen.

"Master, how can you cook here? Let's ......" The staff on duty hurriedly ran to rob me of the work, but I stopped them.

Although I felt relieved, I was also very helpless and said: "Today you are all helping on the side, by the way, you learn how to stir-fry and cook, and you all come to see my demonstration." ”

I grabbed the wild boar meat that Alice and Paul II had brought me, separated the pork belly, the leg meat, the lean meat, the fat meat, the lean meat, the leg bones, the skull, and the ribs, and instructed them to identify them.

Then the Demon Cow Beast, the pheasant and the bighorn sheep were processed, and the different parts of the meat were separated and explained one by one.

"Go get ten cauldrons, boil the pork bones, beef bones, and lamb bones separately and boil the soup, put the chicken bones into the pork bones and boil them together, the pork chops, steaks, and lamb chops can't be moved, I want to use them, remember to put water in the bone broth, don't put anything else ......"

"See these fat white meats, which are used to fry oil - none of you have fried oil? - That's it, I'll teach you today - do you see these pieces of white meat taken out of your stomach? This is also oil, called plate oil, this kind of oil has to be fished out with boiling water first, and then fried oil - haven't seen it yet? I was really defeated by you—"

From this day on, the kitchen has basically become a classroom for me to teach them to cook, and a group of people come to learn every day, and from this day on, the canteen will serve four meals in the morning, noon and evening, and they will have four classes.

Originally, in the other world, there are basically no three meals a day, only breakfast and dinner, three meals are only available in the great nobles, and four meals are even more non-existent, how many people can't even eat, how can there be a supper.

For this reason, the four meals a day in the manor once again moved the thousands of people and monsters beyond recognition, and perhaps the most touching of them was the dozen or so giants who had just arrived.

Because they can't even cook one meal a day in the giant tribe, and since they came to the Giant Beast Manor, they can eat enough every day, but this is also worth the price, ten giants are indeed super capable, and they are definitely the heavy work in the manor.

After more than a month of teaching, they have also learned a few specialty dishes, and they are more skillful and economical in the handling of ingredients.

For example, in the past, they almost didn't eat animal offal, they were all casually cooked and distributed to the monsters, such as bones and intestines were thrown away directly, and there was not much waste of vegetables and fruits, after all, the elves basically took vegetables and fruits as their staple food.

In the past month or so, I have also added many types of spices to the kitchen, such as white sugar, brown sugar, starch, a variety of spices, soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, etc.

It's a simple word, but the process is a bit complicated.

Let's talk about starch, this is the simplest of them all.

In order to find usable rhizomes, I asked the big cat to take the monster out to dig up a lot of grass and shrub rhizomes, and finally found three kinds of plants that could precipitate starch from hundreds of plant rhizomes, originally I expected that there would be sweet potatoes, potatoes, cassava, plantains, kudzu, corn and other plants in the sleeping mountains, but unfortunately there were none.

After the test, one of the three has a toxin, which is a poison for the Centaurs and is not suitable for use, and one of the two will cause allergies to the elves and elves, and finally only one can be used, but the quantity is scarce.

Fortunately, the elves and elves are quite good at cultivating and promoting the rapid growth of plants, so I can achieve it in a short period of time.

I taught the Centaurs how to make it, and I found them to be perfect for this.

"Master, how fine do these grass roots need to be smashed? Do you think that's going to work? "Goji of the Centaur is the most attentive of the centaurs, and she checks with me every step of the way.

"Goji, this is the first course, so it doesn't need to be so thin, it's almost as thick as a finger, and it's okay if it's a little bigger; Anyway, you have to put it in the stone mill and grind it again, remember to release the water, you can't dry it. ”

Then she came back and confirmed:

"Master, it's all polished, can you check it? What are we going to do next? ”

I grabbed each of the large vats of white slag that Goji had brought in, and felt the size of the particles, all of which were very good, more delicate than those ground by the machine.

"It's very well polished, and it doesn't matter if you don't have to be so delicate in the future; The next one is filtered with a fine gauze, and more water must be stirred during the filtration process, and it can be repeated three times; Come, this is the gauze I specially found the beads to make, on this piece of mesh beads tried several times to pass, too coarse will leak slag, too fine and can not be filtered, you can try to weave this density of the mesh to filter in the future; Now take a few more buckets and water to filter, after filtering, let it sit for a day or two, wait for the water inside to become clear, pour out the water, and then dig out all the white objects that have settled at the bottom of the bucket and dry it; Here I want to remind you that when you dig, don't think about digging violently or quickly, so that the barrel may not be able to dig out if it collapses, and I will leave the rest to you, and I will come to see it the day after tomorrow. ”

That's my basic experience of making starch.

If you want to talk about soy sauce, I don't know how long it will take, the process is very unsmooth, I almost gave up, and I won't mention the experience of this annoying person.

I was a little curious about how they found the salt, because when I was using it, I found that the salt from another world was very different from the salt I knew in terms of color and taste, and it was very inferior.

After some understanding, I realized that where they were using salt, they were using salty soil at all.

As a last resort, I rode Ling around the sleeping mountains around the manor whenever I had time, but I found nothing; Later, one of the older griffons in Ling's party told us that when she was younger, she had drunk a salty, undrinkable water in the valley southeast of the Sleepy Mountains, a place a little far from here, and it would take the griffons about a day to reach it.

I immediately sent Ling to take a sample with the team, and the sample I brought back was like a crystal, red and crystal clear, I knew that this was a treasure; The quality is also very good, the grinding particles melt when they meet water, and they are even more fragrant and delicious when sprinkled on the food; After verifying that it was a very good rock salt mine, I asked Ling and the others to rush to collect it overnight with a dozen dragon goblins.

Things are getting better in the kitchen, and I don't need to go into the kitchen to cook.

However, I found that one thing I was not satisfied with was that the varieties of vegetables and fruits, except for the ones at the beginning, have not increased, and although the supply is still stable, it will gradually be unable to meet the demand; And I haven't seen any pasta on the estate, that is, no wheat or barley.

In other words, in the Behemoth Manor, there have been no new varieties added except for the plant varieties I collected myself and the plant varieties brought by the elves.

As soon as I found out about the problem, I called Rebecca and Otham.

"Rebecca, Otham, give you a mission, you go elsewhere to buy plant seeds; There are so few varieties of edible plants on our estate, from the beginning to the present, those things are still those things, and this is not the situation that our estate should see in the future, so we must change this state; There is also - the variety of edible meat also needs to be increased, since the pasture area has been completed, then it is necessary to make the best use of it, in addition to the Warcraft tamed from the wild, we also need to introduce more varieties of livestock from other places, you two are more familiar with the countries of the mainland, so this matter will be left to you to arrange. ”

"Sir, won't you come with me?" Otam said with some disappointment.

Ottam said that—not to mention, it does make me think a little bit of about a different world to walk around and see what it's like?

But when I thought of the Giant Beast Manor, I hesitated a little in my heart, and I was a little embarrassed: "I'm going, what should I do with the Manor?" Who are you going to give it to watch? ”

"Since you don't want to go out, then we don't want to go out either, I'll send a message to the Shadow Empire and ask them to send things over." Otam said unhappily.

"Yes, if the adults don't go, we won't go, but if it's a big deal, I'll just let my sisters and them go to the nearest village."

Rebecca also followed suit.

At this time, Zofia hurried over and said: "My lord, a group of people came from outside, and they also brought a convoy, which was discovered by Jemmy's team, and the report showed that it was the convoy of the Shadow Empire, loaded with a lot of goods, and it was more than ten miles away from the manor. ”

When I saw Zofia, I suddenly remembered another thing, so I didn't answer her words and asked, "Zofia, did you know the big cat before?" ”

"I don't know, why do you ask?"

She thought that what I asked was related to what she reported, so she answered with a serious face.

"No, I just suddenly remembered how you would have known to come to me for treatment in the first place?"

Hearing that I didn't take what she reported to heart, but asked some irrelevant questions, Zofia raised her voice and said with a serious face: "My lord! Is this the time to consider? The convoy has reached the ten miles of the manor, and you still have the time to think about this boring question! ”

Thinking that he was indeed a little improper, he replied solemnly, "This is very important!" I've been bothered for a long time, but you first told me how you came up with the idea of coming to me for treatment? ”

Seeing my attitude, Zofia couldn't understand my thoughts, so he also said seriously: "Since the adult is serious, then Zofia will not hide it, I was attracted by the huge divine power in the manor, and then I saw a demonic beast queuing, and I was curious to find out that the adult has excellent medical skills, so I followed the queue to find you for treatment!" ”

"Another fool misled by power! Since it is the Shadow Empire, it will be handed over to Otam to deal with; Do you know anyone who sells plants and livestock? ”

I asked with a sense of luck.

"My lord, what do you want these things for? We do know a few friends who are in the sales business, and if we don't have enough, we can go to the Adventurer's Guild to help, and this kind of thing can be done with a single commission, there is nothing to think about. ”

I was stunned for a moment when I heard what Zofia said, and then patted my thigh and said ashamedly: "It's really stupid, I forgot that there is such a thing as the Adventurer's Guild, go, go for a walk!" ”

Actually, I thought to myself: Wow, there really is such a thing as an adventurer's guild in another world, so what are you waiting for? It's hard to build!

"Wait for us, sir!"

I strode out of the building, followed by Rebecca, Otham, Alice, and Zofia.

I looked back at the four of them who looked like bugs, and I happened to look at the temple behind the manor castle, and suddenly remembered what I had promised the three moon sisters, and the passion for going on an adventure to the guild disappeared without a trace at this moment.

I hurriedly said to Rebecca and Zofia: "Rebecca, Zofia, I will leave the matter of going to the Adventurer's Guild to issue a commission; Otam and Alice, you two went to deal with the Shadow Empire convoy, and I suddenly remembered that there was an urgent matter to do, and do any of you know which area Mia and Miman sisters are in today? ”

I also found that the manor was too big, and it was a very troublesome problem to pass on the news, for example, at this moment I wanted to notify Sister Mia to come over, but I couldn't find anyone for a while, and I couldn't notify it properly.

Fortunately, Zofia knows the approximate location: "Mia of the fairy clan? When I came over just now, I seemed to see her heading towards the construction site in the back mountain. ”

I wanted to summon Griffon, but I remembered that Griffon Feather was out on a mission during this time, so I gave up the summoning and said to Zofia instead, "Zofia, can you arrange for one or two angels to carry the message in the manor every day?" That's it, let's talk about this later, you go and deal with the affairs of the Shadow Empire first, I'm going to go to the temple, if any of you meet Mia and Miman, let them come and see me, there is something important. ”

With that, I hurried straight in the direction of the temple.
