My Magic Age

Chapter 858 359. The good and the bad

Hiram and Jonathan didn't even have time to say goodbye to me, and were squeezed out by the crowd behind. I didn't expect that these seniors in the magic academy, who usually look mysterious in their magic robes, would actually show great enthusiasm when it comes to certain food issues.

Seeing this scene, I felt that the food street outside the west wall of the academy could become so prosperous, and probably the root cause was here.

The real foodies in the academy are like icebergs hidden under the sea, and what is exposed outside is always just the tip of the iceberg.

The roasted chocobo leg meat was very successful. The celebration of the summer festival had just begun, and the booth in front of our class was full of people. The classmates in the class were very excited to see such a scene.

The girls in the class who were originally responsible for cooking the Chocobo legs were cutting broccoli and laughing as they said that it was a good thing that they didn't insist on cooking the legs, otherwise they would have ruined them with their cooking skills.

I said to my classmates: Everyone here can grill such delicious Chocobo legs, as long as they turn the Chocobo legs on the iron net frequently and don't burn them. There are many factors that can cook such delicious food, but they have little to do with me.

First of all, this way of grilling can grill the fragrant Chocobo legs. In order to avoid premature burning, you can brush some grease on the Chocobo legs in advance.

The second is that the sauce on the Chocobo legs is very unique, which is not usually tasted in the imperial capital restaurant. When you taste this sauce alone, it may not be delicious, but once it is brushed on the Chocobo legs, the taste will become very special. This sauce is not only suitable for Chocobo legs, it is suitable for all tender meats, and of course grilled fish is also delicious.

Finally, the presentation is exquisite. These barbecues are very delicate, and there are no common burn marks and bitterness of outdoor barbecues. They are also coated with flavorful sauces. They are extremely delicate dishes in themselves. They are served on exquisitely carved silver plates, dotted with orange-yellow carrot shreds, fresh broccoli and pea puree. These vegetables are neatly placed on the plates. The art of presentation can make people happy and increase their appetite.

Hearing my praise, several girls in the class also looked happy and excited.

At first, the classmates thought I was being modest, but then I asked Noah and Joe, who were eager to try, to stand in my position and roast the third batch of Chocobo legs according to my method. When the roasted Chocobo legs were cut, there was still a trace of bright red blood on the thigh bone, which made the legs more tender. The other students who were watching knew that what I said was true, and they gathered around the oven, all wanting to try it themselves.

In this way, I was freed from the oven. This iron trough oven uses a red copper rune plate engraved with the magic of "Fire Gathering", so the heat of the flames is very uniform during the entire roasting process, making cooking extremely simple.

When the boys who were picking willow branches by the lake in the back garden came back, they were startled by the lively atmosphere outside the booth. They thought something happened in the class's exhibition area. After squeezing in with great difficulty, they found that so many people gathered because they were waiting in line to taste the roasted chocobo legs. They also saw that the marinated chocobo legs in the big wooden basin were gradually disappearing, and the speed seemed very fast. They began to worry that the people in the class would not be able to eat enough chocobo legs later. Some people even suggested: Otherwise, go to the magic store outside the academy that provides fresh monster meat to buy some back.

Their proposal was immediately rejected. These chocobo legs were originally prepared for the fourth-year seniors who were about to graduate. Even if more were prepared, in the future, those vouchers would be distributed to various exhibitors and various classes in the magic academy. People who want to taste the delicious food will only become endless. This busy scene will probably stop only when the chocobo legs are completely roasted.

Seeing that it was almost noon, everyone should be hungry after a busy morning, but now their excitement has not passed, and their stomachs are still not feeling anything. I started to prepare the mutton skewers.

I have to say that Shanpan is very good at cutting meat. The thin-skinned knife in his hand is very sharp, cutting the meat into neat cubes. I jokingly said to Shanpan, Shanpan, your knife skills are really good, have you learned it since childhood!

Shanpan nodded very straightforwardly. At this time, he and a group of boys in the class were squatting in the back kitchen, peeling the willow branches, cutting the willow branches into one foot long, and sharpening one end so that the mutton can be skewered smoothly, and finally soaking the willow branches in cold water. He took another willow branch from the side, smiled shyly at me, showing his white teeth, and his dark face was a little shy.

And I sat aside, threading the meat skewers with nimble hands and feet.

Shanpan said that the village where he grew up was in the far suburbs of the southern part of Qiyan City, close to the edge of the wild swamp. There were abundant water and grass there, and poisonous miasma was everywhere. Poisonous insects, snakes and ants were also extremely ferocious. Only in spring and summer did the villagers dare to go into the swamp jungle to hunt.

Because the climate there was warm, the prey obtained by hunting would rot in less than half a day, so the prey had to be disposed of in time. They would peel the prey, then cut the meat into pieces, marinate it with salt, and dry it on a stone slab to make raw jerky.

This made me a little speechless. This way of processing meat is similar to that of the orcs in the wilderness.

I asked Shanpan curiously, what kind of prey do you basically catch in the swamp jungle.

Shanpan blinked his small black bean-like eyes and said to me in surprise: Of course, whatever can be hunted is what, as long as it is edible, we will kill and peel the meat. But the most caught should be lizards, lizard meat is very tender, especially the meat on the lizard tail.

The girl who was washing vegetables on the side immediately protested: Jijia Shanpan, don’t talk about these disgusting things anymore, and how can we eat lunch later?

Many girls hate reptiles such as lizards and geckos. Let alone eating them, they will feel disgusted even if they just look at them. But how can they understand that the lizard tail of the fire snake lizard is a rare delicacy, often placed on the tables of the nobles. Maybe when they eat it, they probably don’t know that it is a lizard tail.

So, Shanpan and I immediately changed the topic.

I asked him: When you catch lizards, won't the lizard people in the wild jungle retaliate against you?

Shanpan said to me speechlessly: If the lizard people hunt monkeys in the mountains in the jungle, will you hate the lizard people because of the death of a few hairy monkeys who only know how to steal food?

I shook my head gently. Shanpan's words reminded me of the hot lizard maid next to Qi Ge. I really don't have any bad feelings towards lizard people.

Shanpan saw that I was very interested in life in the southern jungle, so he told me a lot about the jungle.

There are many wild monitor lizards in the swamp. Those giants are not afraid of poison, but they are very docile. People in the village will hunt young monitor lizards and bring them back to the village to domesticate. In the edge of the wild swamp, domesticated monitor lizards are more practical than Gubola horses. The hooves of Gubola horses are soaked in mud for a long time. Over time, the hooves will be soaked and rotten. If they are not checked in time and treated regularly, they will eventually become lame horses.

On the contrary, the monitor lizards are very adaptable to the environment in the swamp jungle. After being domesticated since childhood, they are good transporters in the swamp jungle.

Unconsciously, I and several classmates have skewered the magic antelope meat. The mutton is marinated with some onions, apples, golden apple wine and sauces, and it has become very tasty. Unfortunately, no one in the class prepared chocobo eggs, otherwise, if some egg liquid is added, the barbecue will become more tender.

Perhaps the delicious roasted Chocobo legs became the theme of our class exhibition area. Originally, the roasted Chocobo legs we carefully prepared were just small gifts for the seniors who were about to graduate. The real theme of the class was to show visitors this iron trough barbecue oven. This was the idea of ​​several boys in the class, including Noah. They designed to embed the rune plate at the bottom of the iron trough, so that the barbecue oven would add a certain magic element.

However, the girls in the class unanimously believed that this magic idea was very low. Although roasted Chocobo legs were very popular, it did not mean that the magic oven was so outstanding. Ordinary charcoal braziers or bonfires could probably cook such delicious food. Everyone thought that the magic oven was just a gimmick of magic, which was flashy and impractical.

According to the news from the college, the most popular magic innovations in the college exhibition area are: the "Random Teleportation Scroll" designed by the Starry Sky Society, the fire magic jet trap "Flame" designed by the magic students of the third year fire department of the Royal Magic Academy, and the magic pattern structure of the "Primary Power Set" designed by the members of the Inscription Society.

At present, the most purchased item by the nobles invited by the academy is the ‘Random Teleportation Scroll’ designed by the Starry Sky Academy. I have heard a little about this unstable teleportation scroll. Before Baron Kai launched a coup in the city of Sloyte, the trigger was the kidnapping of Princess Sha.Aili. At that time, Morayaer took out such a rare random teleportation scroll, allowing Sha.Aili and Sophie to escape from under the nose of Madam Kalai.

However, at that time, the random teleportation scroll of the Starry Sky Academy was still in the research stage, and only a reduced number of finished products could be circulated.

After years of continuous improvement, the ‘Random Teleportation Scroll’ finally appeared at this year’s summer festival. Obviously, it was sought after by many nobles as soon as it was displayed. Although it has been improved countless times, it still seems to be expensive now. The price of a scroll is 20 magic crystals, and not everyone is willing to buy it.

The second is the design drawing of the fire magic trap ‘Flame’. This magic trap, which is made up of fire magic rune plates and a series of trigger devices, was just placed on the exhibition stand and was noticed by many small lords who settled in the imperial capital. These small plane lords all have high titles and they also have their own armies and constructed knights.

After the plane war broke out, many small planes were not affected. These noble forces controlled a certain number of troops of the Green Empire, but the scale of the forces they controlled was a little small. They needed to unite together or attach themselves to a duke-level lord to survive on the battlefield.

However, at this time, the plane war was stuck in a quagmire and a bitter battle. These small lords did not dare to take risks easily. Once the army in their hands was trapped in a certain plane and could not get out, then his small plane would not be able to handle any emergencies. Therefore, at this time in the imperial capital, many lords of small planes were watching silently.

Originally, Duke Ryan returned to the imperial capital to persuade the marquises who had a certain number of constructed knights. Unfortunately, he returned to the Warsaw plane in a mess because of the ball incident. In the end, he failed to convince any small lord to follow him to the Warsaw plane to harvest wheat.

Many small planes are not so peaceful. This is not to say that there are dark forces invading, but the resistance of the natives of those planes. Usually, the small lords' constructed knights are in the small planes to suppress the resistance of these natives. Once these constructed knights go to the battlefield, it will definitely lead to emptiness in the rear.

Many small lords are willing to go to those rich planes to share a piece of the pie, but many people are powerless. This is also the reason why the fire magic trap "Yanyan" has received a lot of praise and attention since its release.

The Inscription Club of the Royal Magic Academy is a place where young inscription masters gather. Perhaps a very simple "primary power suit" cannot impress the hearts of those nobles and high-ranking members of the magic guild, but when they heard that this magic pattern suit was independently designed by the second-year students of the Royal Magic Academy and participated in the entire drawing process, they suddenly burst into great enthusiasm for buying.

It is said that every buyer of the magic pattern set will stay at the booth in front of the Inscription Club for a long time. These nobles patiently listen to the designers in the Inscription Club talk about the difficult design process, and then hand out an invitation to the dance to the designer. Inscription masters are always the most popular profession among magicians.

Every lord hopes to have an inscription master under his command, so that he will no longer worry about those expensive magic pattern sets. For this reason, many lords find some magic apprentices with inscription master talents from the civilian magic apprentices and start training them from the magic apprentice period so that the magic apprentice can grow into an inscription master and be used by him.

Therefore, at every summer festival, the exhibition area of ​​the Inscription Society in the Royal Magic Academy is always the focus of attention. This is not because they have any unique ideas, but as long as they can make the most basic magic pattern structure, they are very popular.

Other exhibition areas in the academy also have some very special magic potions, warning magic, camouflage magic, detection magic and other creative ideas. I heard my classmates who went out for a long walk talk about some new things in this year's summer festival, and I also wanted to go out and see.

When I took out a bunch of lamb skewers strung with willow branches and put them on the barbecue grill, the overflowing aroma finally made people notice the magic grill on the barbecue grill...
