"Isn't this botanical garden too big, do we really want to count all the information about so many plants?"

After walking around the botanical garden, it was already dark, and Chester thought about the scale of the botanical garden he had just seen, and his face was a little ugly.

"I'm afraid there must be hundreds of plant species, and many of them don't even know each other. As he spoke, his face was almost desperate.

Even Jiayi, who made this suggestion, had a little bit of a sad face, but he was just thinking about scavenging some ingredients and seeds from the teachers' greenhouse.

Jia Yi swallowed his saliva and said reluctantly: "If we all know each other, what else do we need to do." Not only the botanical garden, but the teacher also told me at that time to sort out the plants on the mountains around the academy, although this is not very large, but at least a few hills always have to run. ”

"Alas~" Everyone sighed in unison, if you add a few surrounding mountains, I'm afraid there will be thousands of plants, this is a big project, when my sister was on this task, I didn't expect the number of plants to be so much, no wonder I was able to apply for the support of the academy, and now, it is impossible to retreat.

"Fortunately, Professor Gwen did not set a specific time, as long as he could sort out some results before the end of the semester. ”

This is the only good news, but I think it's because Gwen is familiar with the botanical garden, and probably understands how much work it takes, so there is no fixed time for death. And it is good to only say that there are results, but not to say that they will be done, and the phased results are also achievements.

Erin said a little frantically, "Then the rest of this semester will not be tied to this." ”

Jia Yi said: "Why don't we go back first, and after we go back, we will make a plan first, and there are tools, tomorrow... No, it's the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow officially begins, and tomorrow we will make the final preparations. ”

"Alright, let's go back first. Li Weier said, seeing a lot of vegetables and fruits in Jia Yi's hand, "Jia Yi, what are you doing with so many things, do you go back to eat?"

"yes. Jia nodded, "This classification, we have to separate all the edible ones, the taste is very important, these are picked back, we just try to see how it tastes, whether it is suitable for cooking." ”

Li Weier squinted at Jia Yi, her face full of disbelief, you shouldn't be greedy.

Back in the town, Jia Yi invited Li Weier and the others and said, "Senior sister, I invite you to dinner, just eat these freshly picked vegetables and taste the taste." ”

Li Weier and the others were originally going to refuse, but when they saw Jia Yi say that they could try these newly picked vegetables, they suddenly became interested again. If there are no accidents, they will have to deal with these plants and their seeds for a long time in the future.

Now, it would be useful to have the necessary knowledge of them. Some of these vegetables have never been eaten at all, and although there are many vegetables here, as a mage, few of them are good at cooking, and no one wants to try the taste of these vegetables.

Seeing that Li Weier and they agreed, Jia Yi said happily: "Look at me showing you a hand, I will eat stewed beef brisket with wolf poison fruit at night, it tastes absolutely good." ”

When he was on the ship, Kaichi made tomato brisket, but at that time, there was relatively little seasoning or anything, which limited his play.

Arriving at Kaichi's quarters, Chester was instructed to buy sausages and beef, and Kaichi began to prepare and start washing vegetables.

The trip to the botanical garden was very fruitful, and Jia Yi brought back a lot of vegetables, including but not limited to wolf poison fruit (tomatoes), carrots, cowpeas, purple cabbage, and other vegetables. There are also several crops that can be used as staple foods, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, and even Jiayi found corn and bread trees, but neither of them has borne fruit.

"I didn't expect there to be so many kinds of vegetables in the botanical garden. Jia Yi sighed a little, "When I was on the ship, there were always so few. ”

The few that Jia Yi selected were only those he knew, and they looked like they had eaten in his previous life, but there were many in the botanical garden that he didn't know, and there were still not ripe, and there were at least a dozen of them, and he didn't have time to distinguish them, but it seemed that the leaves were tender and juicy, and they should be able to eat.

Even if these vegetables looked like they had eaten in his previous life, he didn't directly think that they were edible, but tasted them himself, and after making sure that they were not poisonous, he decided to pick them back. His tongue can distinguish toxins, and for these ordinary plants, there is no problem at all.

Li Weier stood aside, helped Jiayi wash the vegetables, and said, "I can't imagine that you still like to cook." ”

"Do the people live on food? Jia Yi said with a smile.

Selena tilted her head and thought for a long time, making sure that she had not heard of this sentence, and asked curiously, "Is this sentence your proverb?"

"Sort of. Jia Yi knew that he was bald, so he could only vaguely go over first, "When I was a child, my family was a farmer, and my parents farmed and hunted for a living, so they had more feelings for food. ”

"I didn't think you were a commoner's child or a peasant. As soon as she finished speaking, Li Weier showed an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, I don't look down on farmers." You know, there are always fewer civilians among mages, especially like you, who still have such good grades. ”

Jia Yi spread his hands slightly: "I understand that mage is not a money-saving profession, especially mage apprentices, it is difficult to continue learning without a certain amount of financial support." And in addition to money, the acquisition of knowledge is the most difficult, but fortunately I met a good teacher. ”

Most of the knowledge in this world is monopolized by nobles and mages, and civilians need more effort and luck to get ahead. At the beginning of his studies, he couldn't even afford to buy materials to learn magic without Im. At that time, the tuition fee of 100 gold coins per year offered by Im was really a conscientious price, otherwise this money would not even be able to do a few experiments, let alone others.

Of course, Jiayi's own talent is also indispensable, and in the process of learning, he used his invention to make several sums of money, which supported the expenses in the process of learning magic. Without the support of these earned money, no matter how high Jiayi's talent is, it is impossible to be as good as he is now, which is simply a big cut beyond the students of the same level.

It's just because Kaichi is not very old when he came into contact with magic, so the gap has not been pulled out, and the more time passes, the gap between Kaichi and his peers will get bigger and bigger.

Jiayi prepares the side dishes, and when the beef returns, he uses a wind blade to cut the beef into evenly sized pieces, cooks them in a pot under cold water, and then skims off the blood foam and serves them for later use. Melt the butter in the pan, then add the carrots, onions, and ginger slices and sauté until fragrant.

Jiang was only found in the academy, in Jiayi's hometown in this world, there is no ginger, it is estimated that it has not been passed on yet, but on the academy's side, ginger is already very common. Because if you eat meat, it is indeed convenient to have ginger to remove the fish.

After the ingredients are stir-fried, the beef is stir-fried, and then a little bit of ale wine is poured in to remove the smell and enhance the flavor. Blanch the tomatoes with boiling water, peel them, then cut them into cubes, take another pot and fry them into tomato sauce, pour them into the beef and continue to stir-fry them a few times, then pour in water and start simmering.

In the stewing step, the beef is taken out of the iron pot and placed in the clay pot on the other side, which makes the soup taste better and the stewed meat is softer. However, Jiayi did not change the pot for these reasons, but to even out the pot and stir-fry, so as to save time.

After the meal was cooked, Jia Yi called Yangxi and them, they have been making skateboards in the laboratory, and the recent sales have been good, and skateboards are in short supply, and they have some opinions about what kind of plant classification Jia Yi is not doing his job.

But speaking of which, making skateboards is not a serious business, Jia Yi likes to hunt for curiosities, skateboarding is now a smashing repetitive production, and the attraction to him is not as great as the plant classification.
