Lord of Rot

It took three days to complete the small ice cellar.

The space is not small, and there is a huge pool inside that Li Qi requested.

"well done!"

Li Qi nodded with satisfaction after checking.

The temperature in the cellar is already very low, even cold, and the ice will melt very slowly here.

He doesn't need the ice to last from winter to summer, he just needs the ice to melt more slowly in the ice cellar.

The masons left.

Li Qi directed the male servants to lift buckets of water into the ice cellar and run up and down carrying the water. The male servants were panting from exhaustion.

The pool was finally filled.

"Then, let's begin"

Holding an iron rod, Li Qi had a thought in his mind.

Frost enchantment!

The iron rod was instantly wrapped in a thick layer of white mist.

When inserted into the pool, the water formed ice flowers at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In 3 minutes, the pool was almost completely frozen!

Li Qi took out the big-headed hammer that he had prepared long ago and hit it hard on the ice, breaking the ice into pieces and finally letting the iron rod free itself.

"The method is wrong. You shouldn't put it in directly. Maybe it's okay to just stick the stick against the surface."

"If we use ice, can we keep dead bodies fresh?"

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that magic preservatives are more reliable than ice, and magic is still the mainstream.

Li Qi arranged for someone to come in and cut the ice.

The male servants couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw the ice.

magic!

It must be magic this time!

No, the lord's wisdom can create all things, so does magic still need to be used?

The lord has created so many miracles that they are not sure whether it is magic or wisdom, but it is definitely something they do not possess.

The male servants broke the ice cubes, carried them out wearing thick gloves, and piled them in the innermost part of the ice cellar.

Seeing that they were having trouble breaking the ice, Li Qi said, "You make a fire outside, burn the knife with the fire, and then come back to cut the ice."

"Yes!"

With the hot knife cutting ice, the speed is much faster and the ice cubes are more square.

After packing up the first batch, the male servants went out to carry water and fill the pool.

Li Qi continued to make ice.

In this cycle, the ice cellar is finally filled with all the places where it should be placed.

"Phew, it's so cold." Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Even his body couldn't bear it, and the male servants were trembling as they stood outside the ice cellar.

"I can eat ice in the summer."

When he thought of this, Li Qi felt that today's hard work was well worth it.

Use saltpeter to make ice? Alchemy materials are all priced in gold, so it's better to spend more effort on your own, and you'll recover after a short sleep anyway.

"Can we find a cave in the future that is full of rare minerals? A gold mine will do, and I'm not greedy."

Baron Li Qi, who claimed to be absolutely not greedy, had the ice cellar door closed and left underground.

The hot sunshine shines on the body, driving away the chill.

He only needs to go into the cellar regularly to make ice to ensure that there is ice for use.

The male servants looked at him with admiration and awe.

lunch time.

Li Qi sat in his seat.

There was a sword beside him. Grant took a few more glances after sitting down, and then looked at Kuaishou who was unaware, and he had a guess in his mind.

Preserved eggs cut into crescent moons are topped with special spices mixed with garlic.

Pick up a piece with chopsticks and put it into your mouth.

"Yeah, that's what it tastes like."

Tasting the familiar taste further strengthened Li Qi's determination to recreate earth's delicacies in another world.

"Did you do it?" Li Qi looked at the oak basin in the distance wearing a maid outfit.

"Yes, sir" Oak Basin nodded obediently.

"well done."

Mr. Barrel would never miss the opportunity to cook for the Baron. This was a way to announce his status. Reacher didn't care about it, as long as the food was delicious.

But the wine barrel's body is too fat and not healthy enough. In addition, the weather is getting hotter and cannot support him to stay in the kitchen for a long time. Therefore, there are several dishes on the dinner table recently that will be cooked by Oak Basin, who is the most proficient in cooking.

"I'll give you a new task," Li Qi said: "A new dish, I hope you can make it."

"Yes! Sir!" Oak Basin nodded excitedly.

Every time the lord gives a new idea, it represents an exquisite delicacy, which will make people feel like "food can do this".

So far, only Mr. Barrel can get the Lord's menu.

She took a deep breath and concentrated so as not to miss the key points.

"It seems that the male and female servants of the castle should learn to write together with the servants," Li Qi said: "You can't memorize much just by using your brain."

"Listen up" he cleared his throat.

Kuai Ren and Grant also stopped using their chopsticks, curious about the new delicacies the lord was going to create.

"First let me tell you what this is, so that you have an idea. It is a kind of rice flour steamed on a plate. I call it rice rolls. You can put pork, shrimp, vegetables, etc. in it. The texture is great. It’s smooth, looks crystal clear, and the most important thing is the sauce!”

"You need an iron plate. You can order it from Black Ear and put it on the pot for steaming." Li Qi gestured: "Pour the rice milk into the plate and make sure it is spread evenly, but not too thick. It will be steamed quickly." Ripe."

"There are also sauces, just in time to teach you a new way to make sauces. Remember the oysters?"

"Yeah!" Oak Basin nodded seriously.

"Take out the oyster meat, put it in a pot and simmer it until it becomes a thick paste. This is oyster sauce, a very delicious condiment with a delicious taste."

"Yes!"

"Okay, you go back and try it first. If you don't understand anything, come and ask me," Li Qi said.

He is an armchair strategist and doesn't know how to do it at all. Fortunately, the lord is responsible for being the hands-off shopkeeper.

Grant said: "Sir, the rice rolls you mentioned make me very curious."

"You must have never tasted this kind of delicacy," Li Qi said with a smile, "The taste will remain fresh in your memory."

"I can't wait," Grant said.

Kuai Ren also nodded repeatedly. He has been drinking less since he came back. There are too many delicious foods and drinking is filling his stomach.

This is enough?

Li Qi shook his head. There were many delicacies in his mind.

Speaking of how to eat chicken, there are sand ginger chicken, scallion chicken, white-cut chicken, salt-baked chicken, spicy chicken, beggar's chicken, pepper chicken, pork belly chicken, crispy chicken...

Another example is fish, duck, and pig.

There are so many that no meal is the same.

But the conditions for porcupine collars are not very good, so just eat whatever spices are available at the moment. Well, keep everything simple!

"Uncle Quick Blade"

Li Qi looked at the chopsticks that he was using, but couldn't pick up the vegetables.

"How do you think the Porcupine Territory is developing?"

Grant's ears twitched, and he knew it was about to start. After glancing at Kuai Ren, he stopped using his chopsticks.

Quick Blade replied: "Please allow me to rely on my old age, my lord, I have watched you grow up. The development of the Porcupine Territory during this period has exceeded my imagination. You are more suitable to be a lord than Lord Leard! No, it is better than Lord Lild." Any noble in Lulea Continent is suitable to become a lord!"

He knew how poor the Porcupine Territory was before, and he also knew that the Porcupine Territory was not good enough now, but this transformation was developed by a young man without plundering or war.

There is infinite wisdom in it!

"So, Quick Blade" Li Qi cleared his throat: "Are you willing to dedicate your loyalty to me? Dedicate yourself to this land."

"Ah?" Kuai Ren was confused.

On the opposite side, Grant said anxiously: "Master Kuaiblade, kneel down quickly!"

"Yes!" Kuai Ren reacted and immediately half-knelt on the ground.

It's a canonized knight!

He was breathing rapidly.

The Porcupine Territory needs a knight, and a noble named Li Qi alone cannot support him. Kuaishou is loyal enough, strong enough, and has enough merits. He is the perfect person to be his first knight.

Moreover, Liard once planned to make Kuaishou a knight, but the other man's bad temper after drinking made Lild, who was also bad-tempered, unhappy, so he shelved the matter.

Maybe Liard wanted to make Kuaishou a knight when he returned, but Liard didn't last until that day, and it's the same thing now that Li Qi is doing it.

Li Qi stood up.

Clang!

Draw out the sword.

Place the sword on Quickblade's shoulder.

He could feel the other person's nervous trembling.

"In the name of the Father, I command you to be just, in the name of the knight, I command you to be brave, in the name of the woman, I command you to be merciful, in the name of the prisoner, I command you to defend the innocent even at the expense of yourself, sharp blade, You are now a knight of the porcupine collar, get up."

He handed the sword in his hand to Quick Blade: "It's yours."

Kuai Ren resisted the urge to cry. He raised his hands to hold the sword, and his voice trembled: "My lord! I will fight for you! Until death!"
