Chapter 1 Preparation for departure

"Jiayi, this time you have to go to Wickham City first, then set off from Wickham City, take a boat upstream, reach the imperial capital of Memphelbow, and then take an airship from the imperial capital to reach the school. Im said to Kaichi.

It's been more than a year since Jia Yi became an official mage, he is 15 years old this year, Jia Yi has not only recovered from his injuries, but also learned several magic, and at the same time learned a lot of mage skills and adventure experience from Imu. Now, he's getting ready to go to school.

"Teacher, am I going alone? Will they go Flor?" Seeing that Imu was only saying these words to himself, Kaichi couldn't help but ask.

"You've become a full-fledged mage, and you can go straight to school, but Flower is too old, almost past the age of school. The Academy only admits apprentices under the age of 14 or formal teachers under the age of 20. Im said.

"What about Dai'er, in fact, we can study together in the academy. ”

"Dale... The lord has other considerations, and I don't know what will happen in the future. ”

Im forcibly changed the subject: "Remember to keep the letter of recommendation I gave you, as well as the letter to the teacher in Orlando, which can allow you to skip the entrance exam and be assigned directly to the class, but you don't have to worry, the teacher can arrange it." ”

This time I went to school, and only Kaichi was on the road alone, and Imu would not accompany him.

After this year of study, Jiayi not only consolidated his foundation, learned the course of formal magic, but also learned a number of formal magic, although he is still younger, but his strength is actually not weak.

Moreover, Imu also prepared a lot of magic props for him, all of which are disposable props, although the value is not particularly large compared to ordinary magic items, but because of the one-time sake, the power is not small.

If after making so many preparations, Kaichi has a problem going from home to the academy, then with his luck, even if Imu sends him to the academy, he will not know which day he will be killed by a meteorite falling from the sky.

Ever since Kaichi's injury healed, Imu had told him about the arrangement. Along the way, it is not only to go to the academy, but also to travel on the way. Although the Otherworld does not have the adage that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, the mage also attaches great importance to traveling.

It's not just about seeing different customs and customs, each place may have its own unique magic materials and unique spells. Although the communication between mages is already incredible compared to ordinary people, in fact, the communication between mages is not as convenient as imagined.

Some mages in remote places don't even know the mage's papers, and they don't know what to do with some spell-casting techniques or spells. And even if the paper is published, there is no guarantee that the mages will see it in time.

They are basically out of touch with the development of magic.

After Kayi learned about Yimu's arrangement, he didn't have any opinions, so he started preparing early.

He first made some arrangements for his family, and in cooperation with the lord's mansion represented by Flower, he set up a workshop specializing in the production of ham, bacon, tofu and tofu products. The ham needs to be fermented for a long time before the first batch is produced, and most of them are bought and taken away by the chambers of commerce, except for some sold to the town.

Jiayi improved the process of ham, reduced the use of salt, used magic assistance, used magic to control the growth of bacteria when curing ham, and accelerated the penetration of salt into the inside of the ham, but when the salt penetrated into the inside of the ham, it would not cause the ham to spoil due to the growth of bacteria.

But the surface of the ham is long hairy fermented Jiayi has no tube, these molds can not only isolate the invasion of bacteria, but also decompose pork, immortalize many amino acids, yes, the ham flavor is more sufficient.

Jiayi's improved ham only needs half of the original salt, and after the salt is less, the flavor of the ham is not lost, and because the salt is less, the ham does not need to be soaked and other treatments to remove the excess salt, which is more convenient.

There is also ham in this world, but there is no skill and tradition of making ham near the town of Jiayi.

However, although Jia Yi made ham, he did not have the habit of eating ham here, and ham was much more expensive than ordinary fresh meat. In order to sell the ham, Jia Yi wrote a lot of recipes for the workshop to promote. The official version is to enrich the food basket of the town's residents.

What ham stir-fried cauliflower, ham omelette, ham roasted tofu, ham steamed fish, ham chicken/pork rib soup, ham enoki mushroom, greatly expanded the townspeople's meagre table. In order to cooperate with the sale of ham, the bakery of the Jia family also launched ham meal packs and ham sandwiches.

He also made the Honey Sauce Recipe, a famous dish about ham. First, remove a piece of lean meat from the ham, with the skin, scrape the fine hairs and stains on the skin of the ham, put it in the pot and cook for 2 hours; then take out the ham, put it on the cutting board with the skin side down, cut the small cubes with a knife, and the depth is half of the fat; put the skin side down in the bowl, add sugar, light soup, and steam the wine in the pot for an hour; finally, put the pot on the fire, pour in the marinade, add honey to boil, thicken with water starch, pour it on the fire, and it's good.

As for why he used wine, of course, it was because there was no rice wine, and after tasting it, Jia Yi felt that the taste was not bad, and he had never eaten honey fire recipe anyway. He had bought ham before, and when he was looking for a recipe, he had seen the recipe of the honey sauce fire recipe, but he thought it was too troublesome to make, so he didn't make it. Cooking a dish for 3 or 4 hours is still too exaggerated for the former Jiayi.

Not only ham, but also improved the preparation of bacon. Bacon is served in the town and nearby villages, but it is very crudely prepared and of varying quality. Kaichi sorted out the process of making the bacon, marinating it with pepper, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and fresh juniper berries to taste, then air-drying, using cypress or fruit wood to smoke it, and brushing it with syrup water on the surface.

After this preparation, the bacon is red and shiny, and it is extremely resistant to storage. Moreover, after the bacon is steamed, it is mellow and fragrant, fat but not greasy, thin but not stiff, and has a special smoky flavor. The lean meat can also be cut into thin slices and fried, and the flavor is also very good.

After the improvement of smoked meat, because of its excellent quality, it was not only very popular with the townspeople, but also gave the town an additional export commodity, and bacon was more accepted by people than ham.

Jia Yi couldn't understand why, after all, everyone is salted meat, why ham is not as popular as bacon? Is it because ham is saltier?

Daqing's child has been born, a small blue bull, very similar to Daqing, and after Imu checked, he thinks that the calf has inherited Daqing's talent well. It's just that the cow died in childbirth, which made Daile very sad for a while. It seems that he can't withstand the strong bloodline of Daqing, but the calf born is very healthy.

After Daqing made all the cows have a big belly, he finally didn't continue to estrus, which made Jiayi breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise he didn't know how many cows he would have to buy back, and he could open a cattle ranch.

The calf is almost a year old, and although it is still a calf, it is very strong and tall, not much worse than an ordinary adult cow. The two most conspicuous horns, like two sharp swords, went straight to the sky, but they never showed any magical talent, which disappointed everyone.
