I'm working on infrastructure in the wizarding world

The desire to survive made Kang Nan's brain immediately vigilant. He had a flash of inspiration and said, "Is it because I don't want you to go?"

After Landis heard these words, the frost on his face began to melt visibly to the naked eye.He snorted and said, "You don't want me?"

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and so is nonsense.Kang Nan nodded solemnly and said: "It was originally a matter of cooperating with the elves. This time I let you go, and I will trouble you to leave in a few days. When I think of having to work hard on you twice, I feel very sorry. Reluctant."

Landis nodded slightly and said, "You are sensible."

Kang Nan smiled flatteringly: "Besides, I was embarrassed to bother you when I cooperated with the elves. If I have more people and more strength, I can let my own people go. It's a pity that I am too weak. I can only rely on Your Excellency."

This dragon fart was extremely cool, not only did Lantis not see frost on his face, but he even showed a faint smile.

He said: "It's good that you know, if you were the only ones here, I'm afraid the country would have been wiped out long ago." After speaking, he strode his long legs and went downstairs in a good mood.

Kang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he seemed to have mastered a little bit of the art of controlling the dragon. He only hoped that this art would last forever, and don't use it today and it won't work tomorrow.

After breakfast, Kang Nan went to collect silkworm cocoons.

Small silkworms can cocoon within a month when the temperature is suitable.At the beginning, I was not very familiar with breeding, and many silkworms died.Later, it became more and more familiar, and a lot of cocoons were harvested one after another.

One hundred of these silkworm cocoons were packed into sackcloth bags, tied tightly, and boiled directly in a pot on the square.The previous landlord left in a hurry and only had time to take away the most valuable magic tableware and gold and silver tableware.It is estimated that these large iron pots were left behind because of their ugly appearance, and the cheapness was given to the latecomer Kang Nan.

It has been more than ten months since I came here, and the big iron pots have fully demonstrated their rich functions every day. In addition to cooking rice, they can also cook salt, ceramic pots and bowls, and bamboo tubes. Now it is empty Came out to cook cocoons.

Boiling the silkworm cocoons is because the original gelatin on the silkworm cocoons needs to be boiled to make them softer.One is to boil the silk moths inside to death, and then they can be picked off directly.Boiled cocoons are called cooked silk, which is specially used for silk quilts.If the cocoon is directly picked and reeled, it is raw silk, which is used to weave silk and satin.

At present, there is no method of silk spinning in the entire magical world. The most common thing is linen clothes, and cotton is not even known.As for the rich and powerful, they will also spend a lot of money to buy silk yarn to make clothes for themselves. Not to mention that they are invulnerable to water and fire, they also come with colorful colors, soft and close-fitting.

Landis's clothes are silk from the inside to the outside, and his luxurious and dazzling body is dazzling.

Can't compare.

Kang Nan glanced at Landis who was gnawing an apple in the gazebo, and said to himself that this is the gap!

The boiled cocoons are washed in clean water, then cut open with scissors, and the silk moths inside are picked out.The silkworm cocoons without moths are spread out with both hands and placed on the cocoon frame, ten in a set.The cocoon cover is peeled off from the cocoon frame, washed with clean water, and dried, and then it can be stretched out to make a silk quilt.

The slaves who know how to make linen have already made new linen, and the quality of the linen is related to whether they can be promoted from slaves to commoners, so they all work very hard, the linen they chop is also very fine, and the cloth weaves is very fine. Soft and thin, even the small bumps on it are much less.

"This is the first silk quilt I made, and I plan to give it to you." Facing the benefactor, Kang Nan was still very courteous.

Landis started to frown again, "Is this made of silk squirted out by bugs?"

Kang Nan's mind turned quickly, and he said: "It's the same principle as Yasha, but it's not as good-looking as Yasha. But the quilt you make is easy and soft, and it doesn't drill hair."

Hearing that it was about the same distance as Yasha, Landis felt a little less repulsive towards bugs, "Can it be fireproof and waterproof?"

Connan: ...

"No, it's just relaxed, soft and not hairy."

Landis curled his lips and said: "The goose feather quilt that uses silk gauze won't drill the feathers... Forget it, since you gave it to me, I'll accept it reluctantly. But I suggest you change the quilt cover to one made of shark gauze , I am not used to sleeping in sackcloth."

Connan: ...

He took a deep breath and said, "Your Excellency, I have no love."

"Hmph," Landis snorted coldly, and said, "I know you don't have one, but I do." He wiped off the ring, took out a stack of silk and threw it on the silk, and said casually: "My quilt can only be used Yusha, if there is any leftover, you can keep it for yourself."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Kang Nan, "Don't make it dirty all day long, at least make yourself a decent suit of clothes."

"Thank you." Kang Nan didn't know how to complain about this tsundere. It was obviously a good thing, but he insisted on making others unhappy.

Although Andy is a blacksmith, many of his staff can do simple carpentry work. After all, only blacksmiths can't do well in repairing agricultural tools.

He directed several carpenters to make the bed frame according to Kang Nan's request. The wood was all selected high-quality pine wood, soaked in water to remove the glue, and it took nearly a month to make it. The surrounding area was ground very smooth. There is also a layer of tung oil.

Kang Nan adjusted the bed frame according to the size of the stack of yarn and fixed it. Several people pulled the cocoon cover that had been dried to about the same size, and then put it on the bed frame.Considering that this elf dragon is rather hypocritical, the silk quilt was also made thick, fixed with linen inside, and covered with a silk quilt cover on the outside.

In addition to the silk quilt, two other silk pillows were specially made, which were fluffy and soft, and they were all sent to Landis.The remaining yarn was not enough to make another quilt, so Kang Nan decided to make more pillows to decorate the little princess' room.

By the time everything is fixed, it has been several days.

Char retracted his wings and slowly landed on the square. He originally thought that there were only Landis and Connan left in the family, and the relationship between the two might be better.But……

He looked at the expressionless nephew sitting in the gazebo, and at Kang Nan who was busy chattering, thinking that the two might have quarreled again.

"You don't seem to be in a good mood." Charl touched the ring and took out a jar of colorful candies.The candy is placed in a crystal-carved jar, each crystal clear like a gem. "Candy?"

Landis said coldly: "I don't have enough silk."

Char asked with a question mark in his head, "What... did you use it for?"

Landis angrily unscrewed the sugar bowl, took out a candy and stuffed it into his mouth, "Kangnan made me a silk quilt."

Although Char doesn't know what silk is, he does know what quilt is.He laughed: "Isn't that great?"

Landis became even more angry, "I gave him a large piece of yarn at the beginning, and told him to make clothes for the rest, not to dress like a commoner all day long. As a result, he made me a big bed The quilt, and made me two pillows and eight throw pillows!"

Charles pondered for a moment, then asked, "And then?"

Landis said with a sullen face: "Then I gave him another piece, and he made me two mattresses."

Isn't this...Charle reacted instantly, and said with a smile: "You think he didn't use the silk yarn you gave him to make clothes, so you are angry?"

Landis said: "Shouldn't I be angry? But I don't have any flowers, otherwise I'll see what flowers he can make!"

Char didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Kang Nan who had already arranged work and ran this way, and said in a low voice, "Landa, look at how I asked him to take my clothes."

Kangnan had seen Char a long time ago, but he was teaching people how to make prunes from sun-dried leafy vegetables, and Kerry, the weaver over there, came to ask about cotton again, but he couldn't be busy with it.Cotton has matured, but because there were not many seeds in the first place, it was only planted with a few lands.

Cotton picking requires extra care, because it can be difficult to handle if it gets too dirty.Most of the cotton that Landis brought before was useless, and they couldn't be cleaned anyway, so they could only make a few cotton pads carelessly and softly, and gave them away as rewards.

Kerry had brought someone back to pick the cotton, and because it was picked carefully and cleanly, there were not many debris on it.But this time, I don’t need to peel the cotton seeds by hand. Instead, I made a few fine-toothed combs to brush the cotton and remove the seeds.

"Charle, you are finally back." Kang Nan didn't know whether it was hot or happy, his face was flushed, and there was still a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, "Have you bought the candy? Show me quickly."

Charles took out all the sugar he bought and piled it on the table. Apart from the molded candies, there was also a large bag of granulated sugar, all of which were crystal clear like broken white crystals.

"What's the taste of these candies?" Connan looked at the jars of candies. There were round ones, leaf shapes, stars and moons, and the colors were colorful. If you didn't know that they were candies, you would know Thought it was a gem.

"Fruit flavor, what else can it be?" Char touched a leaf candy and threw it into his mouth, and said, "It's mint flavor."

"Elves only have fruit-flavored candies?" Kang Nan felt more at ease, and he also thought that if there were too many flavors, he might have to win in other areas.If you just change your taste now, you should have a better chance of winning.

"Yes, what kind of flavor are you going to make? Vegetable flavor?" Char couldn't figure out what flavor to make besides fruit flavored candy.

Kang Nan smiled, left a can of candy on the table, and let people carry the rest to his room, then took out another can and handed it to Aisha, "Maybe you haven't eaten candy for a long time? This There should be hundreds of pills in a jar, let’s share it with everyone. After working hard for half a year, it’s time to be sweet.”

Aisha hugged the jar with joy, and said, "Good Your Majesty! I think some people may have never eaten candy, and these will definitely make them happy."

Seeing that Kang Nan ran away again, Landis couldn't help but said: "Didn't you say that you can let him accept your silk as clothes?"

Char laughed and said: "Dear Landa, some things cannot be done in a hurry, and Kang Nan is not the kind of person who wants to keep something good for himself. Your charity will embarrass him very much. .”

"I don't have alms..." Landis pursed her beautiful pink lips tightly, "Shake yarn is not a very precious thing, wouldn't it be shameful to give it away?"

Charles ignored him, silently dug out a set of tea making utensils for himself, and started to make tea.He went to the elves this time to promote this new type of drink a little bit, and it was really popular.But Kang Nan said that this kind of tea can only be picked in spring, and it has to be stir-fried with both hands. Picking a large basket of young leaves is only a can of frying.

It's just that there is only a bottom left in this jar, and if I drink it a few more times, I can only smell the remaining tea fragrance in the jar and wait for the next spring.

Kang Nan'an put all the candy in the room, and went to the kitchen with the sugar,

The breeds of the two cows in the castle were unknown, but they could produce milk even though they didn't have calves, and they could produce milk for more than half a year.Except for Kang Nan who has two meals a day in the morning and evening, the rest will be used to make cheese and butter for storage.

Connan asked someone to squeeze a jar of fresh milk to boil, and at the same time asked Emily to get some more apples to core and cut into pieces, add sugar, boil and filter, squeeze lemon juice and stir, and let it cool.

After he explained his work, he returned to the square and walked towards the gazebo.

"Going to make sugar?" Char keenly smelled the residual sugar scent on his body.

Kang Nan smiled, pulled the chair and sat down, but Charle took a sip of the tea he made, "Yes, the elves must see my sincerity."

Char nodded and said, "If the cooperation is successful, your old friend Carol will come over. But are you going to welcome him this time in a disgraceful manner?"

Kang Nan touched his clothes. Recently, he was wearing more and more casual clothes. Just walking out like this was almost the same as the civilians outside.

"I should have some more decent clothes in my closet..." He thought of those piano collars and lace trims, and his face was a little ugly.He really didn't want to wear something like a Gallic rooster, except for a few more feathers on his ass.

Charl said with a smile: "The elves pay great attention to the sense of ritual. He will evaluate the intention and friendliness of cooperation with you according to your attire. Landa only wears very formal clothes every day because he values ​​you very much. This is A spirit of elves."

Doesn't he just like to dress up as a display stand for Bulling Bulling?Connan looked at Landis in surprise, but Landis looked away, looking a little aggrieved.

"Really, I'm really sorry." Kang Nan felt a little numb, and he said, "I always have to work, so I don't pay much attention to it. This... I'll go and see if my clothes can be more formal."

Char lightly sniffed the tea, and said, "Landis also thought about it before, he gave you yarn and hoped that you could make a decent dress. It's just that this child...is not very good at talking, so you may have misunderstood something. "

Connan:? ? ?

"Ah? No, no. After all, it's His Excellency Landis's yarn. I just thought I could make him a set of bedding by chance. I can collect a few more rounds of silkworm cocoons. By then, you and Norman's me, Charle I will also prepare." When he said this, he could see that Landis's face was ugly, and he was afraid that he would lose his temper, so he quickly remedied it: "But the first set is still for His Excellency Landis, he has helped me a lot. Busy, I'm very grateful."

So the little princess's mood turned cloudy again.

Kang Nan let out a long breath.

Char took out another piece of yarn from the ring, "I have another piece here, it doesn't look like enough to make a set of bedding, just enough to make you a suit of clothes. You don't have to refuse, after all, this is what Landis meant .”

"Ah? Ah..." When Kang Nan heard that Landis meant it, he didn't dare to push it out.Who knows what the little princess will do if she says a wrong word.His attitude in the past two days is also inexplicable. He obviously made him a whole set of bedding, and he even flirted if he was unhappy, which made Kang Nan dare not talk to him.

He touched the soft gauze, and at the same time understood what Char meant, so he looked at Landis and said, "I accept your thoughts, and I am very grateful. In fact, if Your Excellency Landis made it clear at that time, I would definitely I left the silk yarn you gave me to make a suit of clothes for myself. I was just afraid that your Excellency would not like the kind of silk I made, so I wanted to make it better..."

"I like it very much," Landis finally said. He looked at Kangnan, his black jewel-like pupils reflected his sincere face, "It's very soft, and it's like lying on a cloud when lying on it. I think those nobles should also Would love a quilt like this."

I don't know why, getting Lantis' approval is like being told by the director of the teaching department that he has passed the exam.Kang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I will study other silk products in the future. Although they are not as luxurious as shark yarn, they should also be loved by you."

Landis nodded reservedly and said, "Looking forward to your new stuff."

Kang Nan smiled shyly, feeling that he really couldn't sit still in this strange atmosphere, so he quickly ran away with Shark in his arms.

As soon as he left, Landis looked at Char, "Why?"

Char raised his eyebrows and said, "Guess?"

Landis: ...

Seeing that Landis was getting upset with the little princess again, Charles smiled even more happily, "Landa, do you know what you're feeling now?"

Landis shook his head.

"Frustrated, isn't it very fresh? You have suffered a lot from Kangnan, right? Do you think you are noble, powerful and beautiful? Why does Kangnan always like to play with that orc puppy?" Char The use of the word play is mainly because he really treats these people as children.

The age difference is really too big.

Landis pursed his lips and remained silent.

Char said softly: "He's only 17 years old, maybe the oath of the bastard Lehman will really be confirmed on him."

"I told him that oath," Landis said suddenly, "He said you didn't tell him, why?"

Char: ...

He took a deep breath and explained carefully: "Landa, when a person knows that others contact him because of a certain oath, as long as he nods, he can bring the person he agrees with to benefit. Then he will Do you regard those who are close to you as friends?"

"So he won't be friends with Norman in the future?" Landis' eyes lit up.

Charles was almost pissed off by his own nephew, he rubbed his forehead vigorously, and said, "Then he may not be able to be friends with you."

"Why? I don't need that kind of oath to become stronger!" Landis was dissatisfied immediately, "I will become stronger by my own strength."

Char sighed: "But he doesn't know that human life is very short. Maybe he will guard against everyone because he knows this in advance, Landa, Norman is really much better than you sometimes , He will let himself stand on the same level as the other party, or even lower than the other party's stance to gain the trust of others. Instead of being unscrupulous because he is the most popular talent in the orc clan."

"But I don't need to please others," Landis wanted to tear Norman's head off when his uncle praised other people's children.

Char couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Yes, both elves and dragons are very powerful, and there is no need to show a flattering attitude, but if you want to gain someone's trust, what you have to do is not flattery. So now Neither you nor the current Norman will be Connan's friends. He is too smart, even without this oath, he would not regard you as friends. But Landis, do you want to be friends with him? "

Landis frowned, "I don't want him to think that I live here because of my oath, I just don't want to go back to Dragon Island and the elves."

"Time will verify everything, my child." Char touched the top of Landis' head, "I hope you will remember what you said today."

Kang Nan naturally didn't know that Char was teaching the stubborn Elf Dragon how to behave in the world, and he was studying whether his new candy could succeed.When the milk becomes viscous after a low fire, gradually add sugar and a certain proportion of apple jelly.When it is so viscous that the spoon can hardly stir it, pour it into a wooden board that has been brushed with a layer of butter, spread it out and let it cool, and cut it into small pieces before it is completely solidified, and use the layer of corn inside each small piece Cover the young leaves to avoid sticking.

Then he took some strawberries and made a sweet jam, adding a lot of apple pectin and sugar.The cooked syrup is also poured on the wooden board, but this time it can be cut into small pieces after it is completely cooled, and each piece of strawberry fudge is thrown into white sugar and wrapped in a circle.

When supporting industries in poor rural areas, Kang Nan specially selected a few villages to make candies, and finally promoted those candies.It's just that those candies are all made of maltose. This kind of sucrose candy was something he tried occasionally during his surprise study.

At the beginning, he also made some toffee and black sugar plum lollipops, but because the area was not rich in sugarcane at that time, these two kinds of candies were stranded.

After finishing these two candies, the night gradually darkened.After a hasty dinner, he brought up the candy to show Charle and Landis.

Char really didn't expect that Kang Nan could really make two kinds of different candies in just half a day.He squeezed a piece of toffee into his mouth, and suddenly his eyes lit up.This kind of opaque and gem-like candy has a rich milk flavor in the mouth, and can be chewed repeatedly in the mouth, the more you chew, the more delicious it is.As for the strawberry-flavored candies, they are also amazing, they are soft!

Elf candies not only look like gems, but also like hard gems in the mouth. It needs to be melted slowly in order to taste the fresh fruity aroma inside.But neither of these two candies are hard candies, one is chewy and the other is soft and elastic.

Kangnan found that not only Char, but even Landis couldn't help eating several pieces of candy he made himself, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart.He smiled and said, "How is it? Can we cooperate with the elves? In fact, if you can give me a large amount of raw materials, I can make more unique candies."

Landis held a piece of strawberry jelly and looked over and over, "There is no magic wave."

"Because I don't know magic, sir, but many things can be made without magic. It's just that there is no way to be as crystal clear as the candies of the elves." Kangnan also squeezed a piece of milk candy into his mouth, "Actually, except Candy, I will also make some sweet snacks. But I don’t have many ingredients, hey..."

Landis put the strawberry jelly in his mouth, closed his eyes and slowly felt the different feeling of the candy in his mouth.He said: "What do you need, you can make a list for me."

Kangnan laughed all of a sudden, and he said: "Actually, I don't know what I need. After all, I don't know many things. I just thought that there might be crops that we can eat in other places, or elves. The crops you admire can be eaten if you can’t keep them. If Your Excellency Landis is willing, you can find some unique crops and give them to me, is that okay?"

Landis dragged the plate with candies in front of him and said, "Deal."

Char:? ? ?

No, you child, do you want to have it all to yourself? ?

I also really like to eat this new candy!
