Chapter 114: After the Promotion
The crater, which was one meter deep and nearly four meters long and wide, was filled with gray mineral salt, which shimmered with phosphorescence in the scorching blood sun of the afternoon.
This is far more than the amount of salt needed by the village.
After Lin Fan discovered the unequal trading relationship between the Tucker and the villagers in Mar Town, he came up with the idea of changing this situation, and the breakthrough he sought was salt that everyone could not live without!
Lin Fan believes that as long as he can mass-produce refined salt without impurities, it won't be long before the trade relationship between the two sides will be reversed!
Let the night pupil wait beside him, Lin Fan stood beside the pit, looking at the mineral salt in the pit, a trace of blood light flashed in the depths of his pupils, and then the surging elemental flames immediately appeared in front of him.
Hiss......
Under his control, these large expanses of elemental flames twisted and twisted, and finally changed into a thread of needle-sized flames, which slowly seeped into the mineral salt in the pit like rain......
Standing beside him, Night Pupil felt the sudden faint hot wind, and glanced back at Lin Fan.
When she saw the elemental flame controlled by Lin Fan seeping into the mineral salt like water, her amber pupils couldn't help but bloom with a hint of brilliance.
"Doesn't he have limits?"
When she fought with Lin Fan, Night Pupil was startled by Lin Fan's exaggerated control, and when she saw Lin Fan and Bess competing for control, Lin Fan hit ten shots, and she was even more surprised in her heart.
The control of the bass is very good, and he is well-known in the entire Frost Leaf City, but in the face of Lin Fan, he was directly crushed by ruthlessly!
At this moment, watching Lin Fan control the elemental flame to transform into a drizzle, penetrating into the mineral salt little by little. Night Hitomi no longer knows how to express the shock in his heart. The other party's control seems to have no limits!
Lin Fan was unaware of Ye Pupil's thoughts, at this moment. His entire spirit had been fused into the elemental flames that had transformed into silk, into the salt in the pit.
in the state of the Mage's Eye. All the mineral salt turned into a mass of colorful elementals.
This state reminded Lin Fan of the molecules and atoms he had seen under the microscope before.
In fact, in Lin Fan's view, the two also have something in common.
Atoms and molecules are arranged in a specific sequence and can form their corresponding substances. The elements here are equivalent to molecules and atoms, and special combinations will also form different substances.
Lin Fan is now taking advantage of this, cooperating with the Mage's Eye to scorch the impurities in the mineral salt with the elemental flame!
This behavior is like removing fine sand from sesame seeds. Mental power must be highly concentrated, which is a great test for mental power and control.
If it weren't for Lin Fan's possession of the mage's eye, it would have been impossible to use this method to clear the impurities in the mineral salt.
Even if he used the mage's eye to refine so many mineral salts at the same time, at this moment, Lin Fan also felt that his spiritual power had reached a state of limit, and the elemental flames seemed to be out of his control at any time.
And this is exactly the result that Lin Fan wants. Although the overload of mental power made him feel as if his whole person had been torn apart. But in such a state, his mental power is also growing rapidly at a speed that can be felt!
Lin Fan was completely immersed in the rapid growth of his spiritual power, and the night pupil standing next to him had already opened her eyes wide, and the shock in her eyes had also turned into a thick shock.
When the elemental flame enters the mineral salt. The mineral salt was only slightly red, but as time passed, a layer of crystal white appeared on the surface of the originally pale gray mineral salt!
Night Hitomi is on a mission to escort a nobleman. I've seen fine salt before, and I can see it at a glance at this moment. The crystal white layer on the surface of the crater is the salt of very good quality! Even better than the precious special salt!
"Can this kind of thing really be done?"
The night pupil looked at Lin Fan strangely. Obviously it is inferior mineral salt. In the blink of an eye, it has become a high-quality salt that surpasses the quality of the finest salt! This kind of thing, in the eyes of the night pupil, is as magical as turning water into gold!
Time passed quickly, and by the time the blood sun fell on the top of the woods, all the inferior mineral salt in the pit had been refined into crystalline refined salt by Lin Fan.
And at this moment, an invisible force was centered on Lin Fan like a storm, sweeping away in all directions, until it was nearly two hundred meters away from Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes, and an obvious joy flashed in his dark eyes. And the night pupil standing next to her jumped in front of him with a swish, and a pair of amber-like eyes looked Lin Fan up and down, and said with some hesitation: "Brother-in-law...... You, did you break through?"
"Well, it's already a bottleneck. I accidentally broke through just now. Lin Fan smiled and nodded. The energy storm just now was the spiritual power that he exuded when he was promoted, and I think the night pupil should have felt it.
"I accidentally broke through the ......"
Night Pupil looked at Lin Fan with a strange expression, and suddenly asked, "Brother-in-law, it seems that you have only been a mage for a month, right?"
"Hmm. ”
Listening to Lin Fan's calm voice, Ye Tong no longer knew what to say, and he would become a high-ranking apprentice mage in a month!
"Brother-in-law, congratulations on becoming a trainee mage!" Night Pupil had seen Lin Fan's outstanding control, so she didn't pay too much attention to Lin Fan's breakthrough, she congratulated Lin Fan, then walked to the side of the pit, reached out and grabbed a little salt from the pit, stretched out her pink tongue and licked it, and then looked at Lin Fan excitedly: "It's really salt!"
"Of course it's salt, otherwise what do you think it is?" Lin Fan smiled as he looked at Ye Tong's surprised expression.
Ye Tong looked at Lin Fan, blinked, and then walked in front of Lin Fan, pulled Lin Fan's arm and shook it, "Brother-in-law, how did you do it?
Thinking that if he had the ability to turn inferior mineral salt into superior high-grade salt, and then sit on countless wealth, he would be able to eat all the delicacies in the world at that time, and the night pupil was so excited that his eyes lit up.
This girl, do you still think she is a little girl?
Lin Fan couldn't bear the full touch coming from his arm. He took a step to the side and said, "Night Pupil." It's not that I don't teach you, it's just that this method is only available to me. It's useless for me to tell you. ”
"Oh. ”
Night Pupil didn't doubt Lin Fan's words. It was the first time she had heard of such a miraculous thing.
She was not depressed, but spread out her palms, looked at Lin Fan and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you just said that you will prepare food for me when the matter is over, and it is a delicacy that I have never eaten! ”
Successfully promoted to the top apprentice mage, he can already go to Windroar City to obtain a fief. At this moment, Lin Fan was also very happy in his heart, thought about it, looked at the night pupil and said, "Naturally, I won't break my word." However, there is no food available now, and if you want to eat it, you will have to prepare it for me. ”
"Can you tell me what it is?"
Seeing Lin Fan's sworn and frank appearance, the night pupil had already aroused his curiosity, and licked his red lips and asked.
"Hot pot. ”
"Hot pot?"
Night Hitomi's delicate brow furrowed, and he hesitated for a moment. In the end, he looked at Lin Fan suspiciously and asked, "The pot can also be eaten?"
"Haha......"
Lin Fan was provoked by Ye Pupil's words, and it was not until Ye Pupil's eyes narrowed and he saw that he was about to have a seizure, that he could barely stop laughing. looked at the other party and coughed: "Then you will know the truth." You can help me prepare these materials first......"
Lin Fan immediately told him about the hot pot ingredients that he could find in the village in his memory.
Night Pupil tried his best to write down the various materials, and waited for Lin Fan to finish speaking. Immediately turned into a night wind and disappeared into the village.
Last night, Ye Pupil was still thinking about the barbecue, which had already made Lin Fan recognize the essence of the other party's foodie. Looking at the night pupil that disappeared into the village like the wind, he shook his head with a wry smile. Preparations have also begun.
Put the pot outside the wooden house, make chili oil, and boil the soup base......
Lin Fan used to like to eat hot pot, so everything went in an orderly manner. Although there are only a few simple spices such as star anise, chili pepper, and cumin, it is enough for shabu shabu.
Lin Fan had just prepared all this when the figure of the night pupil appeared in his field of vision again.
At this time, Ye Tong was carrying a half-human-tall animal skin package in his hand, which contained various ingredients, making Lin Fan have to wonder if the other party had scavenged all the things that could be eaten in the village.
The most exaggerated thing is that the night pupil is carrying an adult long-haired pig and a unicorn sheep on the left and right shoulders respectively, and the two guys seem to know the fate they are about to face, and they let out a wail.
"Here's what you want!"
The night pupil had already smelled the rich fragrance in the air, and couldn't wait to put the ingredients beside Lin Fan, looking at the soup stock that was constantly tumbling in the pot next to him with bright eyes.
Lin Fan glanced at the unicorn and long-haired pig that were constantly humming beside him, looked at Ye Tong and frowned, "Didn't I say that one unicorn is enough?"
A faint crimson flashed on Yetong's face, but he clapped his hands and said domineeringly: "One head is not enough!"
Lin Fan was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, so he had to point to the two beasts/sheng and say to the night pupil: "You deal with them, peel off their bones, and then cut the meat into strips two fingers wide and one palm long, the thinner the better." Can you do it?"
"It's simple. ”
Ye Tong smiled slightly, and directly took the boning knife next to him, Lin Fan only heard the sound of sneering wind, and the knife light of a white flower in front of him flickered, and in an instant, the unicorn sheep and long-haired pig that were humming just now turned into a pile of broken bones, and a large pile of neat slices of meat!
These slices of meat are all two finger widths and one palm long, no more, no less than one, and all of them are thin enough to let in the light!
"Is that okay?"
Night Pupil put down the boning knife in his hand, looked at Lin Fan and asked.
"Hell, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to do it just now!" Lin Fan looked at the pieces of meat neatly stacked in the pottery bowl, and scolded secretly, looking at the night pupil next to him for a while.
The next thing was much simpler, Lin Fan boiled the broken bones in the boiling soup, and then began to prepare the other vegetables.
Because of its proximity to the forest, most of the vegetables collected in the village are various mushrooms, which are excellent ingredients for cooking hot pot.
Ye Tong sat next to him, curiously watching Lin Fan keep busy, as time passed, the fragrance of broken bones had been boiled, and the color of the soup changed from transparent at the beginning, gradually changed to a thick milky white, plus spices such as mushrooms and star anise, the air was filled with an attractive fragrance.
Yotomi sat next to him, his eyes shining as he watched the tumbling soup, and kept sticking out her pink tongue like a cat and licking her red lips. If it weren't for Lin Fan here, she would even want to taste it right away.
"That's it. ”
Nearly an hour later, Lin Fan smiled at the dying Night Pupil who was lying on the table.
"Is it okay?" Night Hitomi jumped up suddenly, but she looked at the thick soup in the pot next to her, as well as the various ingredients next to her, and her brows immediately furrowed: "That's okay? Isn't it still cooked yet?"
"Hot pot, the key lies in a fire word. ”
Lin Fan smiled slightly, snapped his fingers, the flame at the bottom of the pot immediately became a little more violent, Lin Fan took a piece of meat and put it in the boiling pot, and after the color turned white, he took it out and dipped it in a little chili oil, and put it in his mouth.
The hot meat slices fall into the mouth, and the rich aroma of the bones, coupled with the refreshing meat, and the taste of chili oil, immediately explode on the taste buds on the tip of the tongue...... This long-lost smell made Lin Fan squint his eyes and groan in comfort.
"Aren't you hungry for a long time? Lin Fan saw that the night pupil was still standing next to him, and pointed to the seat beside him.
"Oh. ”
Ye Tong agreed, sat down next to Lin Fan, sandwiched a slice of meat, and looked at the boiling thick soup, his eyes were a little hesitant.
It's the first time she's seen such a strange way of eating while cooking. Wouldn't it be hot?
Night Hitomi was suspicious in her heart, but seeing Lin Fan's expression of enjoyment, coupled with the strong fragrance of steam constantly rushing into her nose, her appetite was also hooked, and she hesitated for a moment, and finally put the meat slices in the boiling soup.
"Shabu-shabu can't be too long, or it will get too old. It's okay to turn the color of the meat white. Lin Fan reminded beside him.
Night Hitomi nodded, her eyes widened, staring at the slices of meat in the pot without blinking.
The moment the color of the meat turned white, she immediately picked up the meat slices, glanced at Lin Fan, and dipped the meat slices in the chili oil following Lin Fan's example.
Whew......
Pursing his red lips and blowing on the slices of meat, the night pupil carefully put the still steaming slices of meat into his mouth...... (To be continued......)
