The next day, Jiayi went home with candy and tofu.

Because the Meng Spring Festival is approaching, Yimu gave them all a holiday. Kaichi originally wanted to invite his teacher to his home to celebrate the festival together, but Imu refused, and the lord's mansion did not go, so he stayed alone in the moonlight hut in the Lime Pine Valley.

Yesterday's sugar tree sap was quite high, more than one percent, about 100 kilograms of tree sap were collected, and 10 kilograms of tree sugar were produced.

There are quite a few of them, and you have to buy them for several gold coins in the market.

When I entered the house, my parents were still selling bread in front of me.

As soon as Jia washed his hands, he came to the front room to help: "Mom, I'm back, and the teacher has given us a holiday." ”

As soon as Erica saw Kaichi, a smile came out: "I'm back, how long can I stay this time?"

"After the Meng Spring Festival, the specific teacher will notify, but he didn't say. Kaichi replied. Only then did he remember that he didn't even know the time of "school start".

Imu has a holiday at will.,Start school when you think about it.,Give them a vacation when there's something.,There's no summer vacation.,Now this should be a winter vacation.,Although it's shorter.。

Kaichi said to Erica, "Mom, I brought candy back. ”

In the words, there is a sense of ostentation.

"Where did you get the money to buy it?"

"I didn't buy it. "Jia Yi is like a proud little rooster," there are a few sugar trees in the teacher's valley, and we went to pick sugar. We picked more than 20 pounds of sugar. ”

"So much?" Erica thought to herself, she didn't expect that the sugar tree would be so productive and more profitable than selling bread.

Because Kaichi is back, Erica closes the shop early and starts to get ready to eat.

"Kaichi, what is this?" Erica saw the tofu that Kayi had brought back and raised in the water.

"Tofu. Seeing Erica's puzzled look, he continued to explain, "Made of beans, made of beans. ”

Jiayi explained to Erica in detail how tofu is made, and said, "Let's make some at home in two days, there is also fried tofu here, which is fried tofu, and this is fried tofu stuffed with meat." ”

In fact, fried tofu stuffed meat Jiayi's hometown was called Ka Roast Tofu in his last life, but the name was too difficult to translate, so Jiayi gave up.

Erica looked at Jiayi and said with a smile: "Jiayi, I don't know how you learn from your teacher, but you are really talented in eating." ”

Jia Yi was a little embarrassed to be said, but he eased up in an instant: "My study is also very good, or the teacher will not support me in making tofu, and give me candy for me to bring back." ”

As he spoke, his sister and brother came back from school. Kaichi gave them some of the sugar he had brought from his bag, and let Erica put the rest away.

"Jiayi, how are you studying?" Donna asked Jiayi in a low voice, she knew that Jiayi was going to learn magic, and although she was curious, she didn't plan to learn it too. It's just that I yearn for all the magic shown by Jiayi.

At home, only Donna knows about Kaichi learning magic. Ordinary people are prejudiced against magic, especially the more remote the place, the deeper the prejudice.

"I've never fallen behind anyone else in learning, even if... This one. Kaichi stopped the others' gaze, stretched out his hand, lit a flame in his hand, and instantly retracted it.

It was dark in the room, and as soon as the flames came out, Erica and the others did not see them, but the light was seen.

"What's that?" Erica turned her head and looked at Kaichi.

Basically, if there is anything abnormal, it must be caused by Jiayi. Although Kaichi has always thought that he is low-key, he has done too many high-profile things, as his parents, Erica and they all see it, but outsiders don't know.

"Nothing, I'll show Donna the gift I brought back. Kaichi took out a mirror from his bag.

Since Jiayi has already made glass, why don't you want to make a mirror? The mirror that Kaichi took out was the one he made when he was making window glass.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to coat the glass with a reflective layer, but he knew the silver mirror reaction, but there was no silver nitrate, so he was going to use mercury. I didn't expect to ask Imu, and it was solved, and using magic, the silver was simply plated.

It should be said that among mages, mirrors are not a rare thing, although the production of glass is not large, but mages have seen glass, and have also invented the technology to gild mirrors to use.

It's just a mage, they all hold a shelf, and they can't make a mirror with a body, and if the algorithm can put down their body, the cost of the mirror can't be reduced - a handmade mirror for you by an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, no matter how ordinary it is, it has to be 180,000 yuan.

Erica took it in her hand and was taken aback: "Where did this come from? It can't be that I took your teacher's things, right?"

When she was still in Tamu Village, she used water to look in the mirror, and it was only when she moved to the town that she had the money to buy a bronze mirror. It's the first time she's seen it in such a clear mirror.

"Of course not, I did... The teacher sent it to me. Kaichi explained.

I wanted to say that I did it, but it was hard to explain, so I had to change it to the teacher.

When Jia saw Erica's surprised look, he realized that it was the first time she had seen a glass mirror, and he didn't even think of giving her one in the first place, which was really undeserved. He was busy learning magic and wanted to bring back a good thing, but he never brought a gift for his parents alone.

Come to think of it, Jia Yi is really a little guilty. Do you feel that you can forget yourself by inventing bread for your family, even if you have contributed much to your family?

Perhaps there is still a gap between him and the world in his bones, and after learning magic, this gap has deepened even more. And Jia Yi can't think of any good way to eliminate it, so he can only remind himself to pay attention.

Thinking of this, Kaichi pointed to the mirror and said to Erica, "Mom, this is for you, Nana can't use it now." ”

This is not a perfect way to deal with it, but with Jiayi's emotional intelligence, he can only choose this approach.

Donna rolled her eyes, but she couldn't grab what she had given her mother.

Erica smiled at the mirror and handed it to Donna: "Nana, you keep it, if I want to use it, I'll go to you and get it." ”

Donna took it with a grin, didn't think about excuse it at all, and made a grimace at Jiayi.

......

In the following days, the family began to prepare for the Meng Spring Festival.

Now that tofu is already available, it is essential to make a delicacy made from tofu. Because Jiayi didn't have much tofu back, he made another one at home, but this time he could only grind it slowly with a stone mill, without the help of Yimu's magic.

Fried tofu, fried tofu, braised tofu, stuffed pork with tofu, (chicken) cake (steamed by crushed tofu and eggs), all kinds of tofu dishes, as long as you can think of it, Jiayi has made it. In addition to tofu, he also pressed the dried tofu, but there was no soy sauce and brine, and all the products were white dried seeds.

Next, there are bean skins, and there are tofu pots. The tofu pot is poured directly into the hot pot with soy milk, which is a tofu pot - because of technical problems, the tofu pot that was poured at the beginning was either broken or too thick. The bean skin is different from the tofu pot, when the soybean milk is heated, a layer of film appears on the surface, the film is taken out, and after drying, it is the bean skin.

Erica's various methods of tofu amazed Erica, it turns out that beans can still be eaten like this, and they used to be cooked. This reinforces Erica's judgment that Kaichi has an extraordinary talent for eating.

Jiayi handed over the tofu production method and the cooking method of tofu to Erica, and there was really no manpower at home, otherwise, there would be another tofu workshop.

In fact, you can recruit people, or partner with others to do it, but Erica now regards this tofu practice as a family heirloom and doesn't want others to know.

On the night before the Meng Spring Festival, the family gathered for dinner.

Speaking of which, whether it is Chinese or foreign, or in another world, the reunion dinner is eaten the night before the official festival. Spring Festival has Chinese New Year's Eve, Christmas has Christmas Eve, probably to free up the time for the official start of the festival for activities.

Kaichi has already started on the road of magic, and it is foreseeable that in the future, the days of eating with his family will become less and less.

He was just a little emotional, not so sad that this path was chosen by himself, and it was also the ideal path he expected, otherwise, even if he knew the lord, he would only be a person at the bottom of society. When I'm older, I'll still have to call them Flor.
