I'm working on infrastructure in the wizarding world

Carol's craftsmanship is really not a cover, the holes punched out are assembled, and the seams are completely seamless.

Kangnan directed more than a dozen people to arrange the huge wooden rollers and stone mills, washed them with clean water, hung up the push rods, and then brought a cow.

When Carol saw the cow, he couldn't help frowning and took two steps back.

Silita didn't have such a good self-cultivation, and asked directly, "Why are you bringing such a dirty cow here?"

Kang Nan replied, "Where is it dirty? My Niuniu just took a shower and she is very clean!"

"Niuniu??" Silita didn't expect someone to name the cow, and was speechless for a while.

Niu Niu was one of the cows that Kang Nan exchanged for the magic crystal, and her cub was delivered by Kang Nan himself.Moreover, the heifer has a high status in the herd, and she likes to be clean and coquettish. Kang Nan gave it a name after feeding it a few times.

Because of her name, Niu Niu's status suddenly increased. No one asked her to do the dirty work of plowing the fields and pulling goods. At most, she could use a stone mill to grind the wheat, or go out to work with other cattle. Help me take a look at the calf.

Squeezing the juice is not a tiring job, and Kang Nan even asked someone to wash the girl clean, for fear of being picked on by the elves.

Kang Nan tied up the putter for Niu Niu and walked around for a while to get used to it, but Silita was not happy again, "This candy you made is for eating."

"Of course it's for food, why? If you don't let the cow pull it, it's hard for you to come?" Connan felt that if compared, Landis is much better than this Sirita.At least Lantis doesn't eat and doesn't talk too much, and he looks better.

Carol stopped Sirita and said, "Your Majesty can do whatever you want, we just have a look."

There is not much soil on the sugar cane. After all, the elves love cleanliness and have already made the sugar cane spotless.They just chopped off the ends of the sugar cane, and then let Niuniu start to pull the push rod, and one person stuffed the sugar cane into the hole for juicing.

Soon, the sugarcane juice fell into the prepared jar along the groove, while the squeezed sugarcane came out from the other side and fell to the ground automatically.

After filtering, the clear sugarcane juice was poured into a large iron pot, boiled slowly over a low heat, and gradually turned into a viscous liquid with constant stirring.The liquid was poured into the wooden frame to cool, and soon turned into a large chunk of brown sugar.

The coagulated brown sugar is chopped again and put into a pot with water to boil it into syrup, and then pour butter, milk, and an appropriate amount of sea salt in batches, and slowly form a very soft brown-red color.

Kang Nan was not idle at this time.

In midsummer, not only all kinds of crops are harvested, but also the wild fruits on the mountain are gradually ripening.Because they have not been improved and cultivated, apricots and peaches are small in size, not very sweet, and have a slight astringent taste.

A lot of wild fruits like this were picked before, all of which were washed and brushed to remove the outer hairs, peeled and pickled with salt to remove the astringency and increase the sweetness, and then put them in the sun to dry.Kang Nan picked out a small basket of dried apricots and asked them to cut thin bamboo sticks to skewer the dried apricots for later use, and then ordered someone to peel a pot of peanuts that had been taken back before and was reluctant to eat them, fry them with salt, rub off the outside Let the red skin cool.

The brown syrup had become very viscous, so he put the roasted peanuts in and stirred them evenly, then poured them into molds for compaction, and cut them into small pieces.

This is the low profile version of toffee.

Immediately afterwards, he boiled a small pot of syrup in the same way, and then rolled the dried apricots in with a bamboo stick. After being covered with syrup, he placed them on the oiled slate and waited for them to solidify.

The two elves looked at the way Kangnan made candy, and they were a little surprised.

Because their elves use magic to extract sugar water from sugar cane, the sugar water taken out in this way is very pure, and then heated and solidified with magic, this process also removes a lot of impurities in the sugar water, so the sugar produced It is white and transparent.The white and transparent granulated sugar is melted and then added with fruit juice, and magic is used to turn the sugar juice into gem-like crystals. Although it is hard, the sweetness is very high. One candy can last for a long time.

But the candies made by Kangnan are basically soft or crispy.

Just like this cold peanut taffy, it will break apart when you bite it hard in your mouth. You can taste the rich milk flavor, the original sweetness of sugarcane and the nutty flavor of peanuts during chewing.I thought it would be greasy at first, but there is a hint of sea salt to neutralize it, which makes people want to eat another piece after eating one piece.

There are also so-called lollipops, which are similar to toffee in the mouth, but you can eat the sweet and sour pulp with a bit of salt inside when you bite off the outer sugar shell.It's just that it's too inelegant to have a small stick in your mouth, but it adds to the fun of eating candy.

Carol swallowed the candy in his mouth, looked at Connan who was full of expectations, nodded slightly, and said, "It's not bad."

"Is it? I also think it's delicious. And the nuts and pulp in it can be replaced with other things. You elves must make it high-end if you want to do it? Look, I just don't need magic to do it. It's a simple way. Anyway, we poor people are already satisfied with a piece of candy.

Originally, Silita didn't plan to eat candy, but seeing Carol eating it, and the candy was really delicious, he couldn't help but eat a few pieces.Listening to Kang Nan's words now, he couldn't help but blush a little, but stood with his head bowed with a lollipop in his mouth, without saying a word.

Connan took out the contract that Carol handed over from his arms, and said with a smile: "As long as the contract is signed, I will write all the recipes for you. If I research any interesting and delicious candies in the future, I will come to you as soon as possible." It will be sent to your side. What do you think, Your Excellency Carol?"

Carol thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, but I will not provide the raw materials for the candy you make yourself, and you have also learned to grow sugar cane, haven't you? The sugar cane I brought this time is not used by you. There are many, enough to continue planting next year."

It is written in the contract that every time a new type of candy is provided, the [-]-[-] split will only take five years, and after five years there will be no need for a split.

It was only five years, and Carol didn't suffer any calculations, so he signed the contract.

This kind of contract has magical properties, as long as it is signed, the magic will take effect immediately and form a contract trace.The green elf's contract trace is a scaled-down version of the elf tree, which landed directly on the upper arm of Kangnan's left hand.The elf tree flickered, indicating that the contract was completed.

Kang Nan looked at the contract that had already come into effect, and could not close his mouth happily.The five-year share is actually not bad, but it is also equivalent to the elf advertising his candy for five years!Besides, there are so many types of candies, one or two in a year is enough for him to enjoy the bonus for a long time!

In the future, when there are more people and more land, and there are enough types of food and there are surpluses, he plans to make maltose.This kind of candy is Olanka's exclusive patent. If the elves want it, they have to come here with contracts and gold coins...

But how can Oulanka attract people from other countries?Although this side is said to have a good geographical location, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it can't stand being separated from other countries by mountains!The small countries closest to Oulanka need to climb several mountains to reach them.

Carol only stayed here for a few days before returning with the contract. As soon as they left, Kang Nan took off the silk jacket that he had been wearing for several days, and by the way, he took off the pile of gems on the pigtail, and pressed The head of the melon seeds hurts the crown.

It has been a lot of suffering these past few days. The clothes made it hard for him to let go of his hands and feet, and he was ridiculed by Silita for having only one clothes that could be taken out.In the end, Kang Nan reprimanded him with "a gift from His Excellency Landis himself", and got a jealous look.

Half of the remaining sugar cane was made into brown sugar by Kang Nan and stored, and the other half was put into the basement and buried with moist and clean sand, hoping to store it until the spring of the next year.At that time, he will plant sugar cane in the valley over there, and then he will have a lot of gold and silver coins in his account!

Norman and Landis haven't returned yet, but the hot summer rainy season has passed.

Kang Nan hastily arranged for people to go to the beach to dry the salt. This time, there were not only two carriages, but also five taels of ox carts, five cauldrons, and twenty "strong men" wearing monster armor and holding spears coated with mithril at the tip. !

He is said to be a strong man, but he is actually a young and strong man who has eaten and drank enough to become strong in the past half a year.Kang Nan asked them to bring the pot over there because he wanted to boil the salt deposits directly at the seaside and then transport them back. After all, there are salt farms and places to live. Although the conditions are difficult, they are justified.

But there wasn't much to do in the castle recently, so he thought about it and went with him.

Although the journey was difficult, it was very safe. After arriving at the salt field, Kang Nan realized how big the salt field was.

No wonder Oulanka's salt export is a big pillar industry, and the salt ponds that have been built here can't be seen at a glance.Although the salt ponds far away from the sea were washed away by the rain because no one took care of them for too long, there was no salt left in the salt ponds near the sea because of the ebb and flow of the tide.

In addition to salt, there are infinite treasures hidden under the seaside reefs! !

"What kind of salt are you cooking!!" Kang Nan kept patting his thigh, "Just take the coarse salt back and let it cook over there. When you go back, tell Andy that the rest of the iron and everything will be fine." Make it into a cauldron, cauldron!! Then ask Charl, can I exchange the magic crystal left in the cabinet under my bed for some iron ore from the dwarves, or go to other places for it! I Damn, there's food here! We've been starving all winter, what are you doing!"

Not only Kang Nan was amazed, but even the audience in the barrage started to be amazed.

"Is this a seafood farm??? There are so many shallow sea seafood!!"

"Spray, upstairs, don't you know that people here don't eat this kind of thing? It's also a farm..."

"Wow, the little king is going to get rich? Others don't eat it, but he eats it. By the way, why do I think the little king's eating habits seem to be different from the settings of this world..."

"When you said that upstairs, I also noticed that his eating habits are more inclined to the taste of a big country on the XXX Star Alliance, which is said to have been developed by China."

"Yeah, I heard that the Huaxia Republic on the side of the XXX Star Alliance eats everything, and it can make everything delicious!!"

"Then here comes the problem, this little king doesn't want the natives here more and more."

"Whatever, it's fine if it's fun and good-looking? You don't allow others to return to their ancestors suddenly? Can't help but think that the old king of Olanka has Chinese blood."

Although many people doubt about Kang Nan's bloodline, but crossing this kind of thing is mysterious and mysterious. They are already very high-level planes now, and they can only see the situation of other planes through this random program. Time travel is a conjecture that has been put on the desk but cannot be proved to be feasible.And for the balance of the plane, they can't even transport dead objects, let alone living people or so-called souls.

Kang Nan also saw these comments, but he didn't take them seriously.So what if he guessed that he was time-traveled?Now that you have turned on the plane shuttle, you can't come and beat me up, can you?

The daily necessities and food brought by the car have been moved to the small house next to the saltworks.These small houses are all made of stones. Although they are dilapidated, they have not collapsed, and they can still be lived in after cleaning.The overseers who used to live in the saltworks all escaped with their slave bundles, leaving Kangnan with a huge saltworks.

And Kang Nan also guessed that people here don't eat shallow sea seafood.They have boats, and they prefer to eat the kind of big fish caught in the deep sea. They don't have any spines, and they are very delicious when they are fried with butter on both sides.

Kangnan complained in his heart that the group of stinking dignitaries were nothing but donkey dung balls, while yelling for people to move things and clean up the room, and then ten people went to pack the coarse salt in bags and transported it back directly, and ten people took it with him Guys to pry those shells by the sea.

The supervisors of the saltworks are all sent by the rich and powerful branches of the family. They can eat and drink enough every day, so it is naturally impossible to eat those shells.And the slaves worked non-stop from morning to night, so it was impossible to hide and eat, and they didn't know how to eat.

Over the years, palm-sized mussels have grown under every reef, some even bigger, and they are not afraid of people at all.In addition to mussels, there are also kelp rolled to the shore, fat crabs living in the reef, and shrimps and small fish pushed ashore by the tide.

The mussels are boiled, pried open to extract the flesh, and spread out on clean stones to dry.The kelp is directly trapped in rolls and thrown into the car to be transported back to dry.Dinner is a porridge made of gnocchi and potatoes. There are also big prawns in it.

Whether the civilians or the slaves who followed, their stomachs were not full before, and they didn't know whether these things could be eaten at all.Now seeing that His Majesty ate without raising his head, he figured out that it was a good thing. Immediately afterwards, he was attracted by the delicious taste, and immediately started to gobble it up.

Kang Nan stayed here for a full ten days, and then followed the second salt truck and rushed back with the mussel meat that was almost sun-dried.Before I got to my castle, I saw a crowd of people gathered in darkness at the gate of the square. Aisha's loud voice could be heard clearly from two miles away.

"Take off all your clothes, take them off! Men go this way, women follow me!! Yes, women must also take off! Shave clean!!"

"Oh, is this a slave?" Kang Nan got out of the carriage excitedly, stretched his neck and looked at the door of his house.

The carriage he was riding in had a shed on it, and the other had its shed removed and was piled high with kosher salt.The bullock cart was relatively slow and lagged behind, but it was only noon now, and it was estimated that evening would arrive soon.

"Your Majesty is back!" Aisha saw the carport from a distance with sharp eyes, and quickly delegated the command to Leia, who had a relatively high force value, and rushed out with her skirt in her hands.When the carriage arrived, Aisha suddenly turned pale, and stepped back a few steps.

"Your Majesty, you, you... what kind of smell is this?"

"Fish smell! Who's coming? Is it Landis or Norman? Go prepare the bath water for me first, and then put away all the salt." Kang Nan jumped out of the car, although his whole body was dirty, but his face was full red light.

"Lord Norman is back, these are the slaves he brought back, and there are two escaped mages." Aisha lowered her voice, "The water is boiling in the cauldron, and they have to be cleaned before entering the house. Check Lord Er said to let them all live in the West Hall first, and wait for your majesty to see it before we see how to divide it."

"The fugitive mage?" Kang Nan handed Aisha a basket of dried mussels in his hand. Aisha looked suffocated, as if she was carrying a bucket of manure.

"Yes, the mages live on the second floor, and it was also arranged by Lord Charles." The two of them bypassed the group of black, thin and dirty slaves and entered the square from the side, and Aisha greeted a person who was boiling water. , and handed over the thing in his hand, "Your Majesty, where should I put this thing?"

"It's not all dried yet, find a place with a lot of sun and spread it out to dry. Norman!" Kang Nan raised his hand with a smile and waved, "Why did you come back so soon?"

Norman was walking out of the castle hall. When he saw Connan, he smiled and ran for two steps, but stopped before he could speak, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"

The orcs have a keen sense of smell, and they can already smell the stench that Kang Nan couldn't suppress even after taking a bath without getting close.What's more, Kang Nan just went over to have a look, and didn't bring a bathtub, so he boiled water and scrubbed secretly in a jar.

Kang Nan laughed loudly and said, "I'll tell you after I take a shower. I found something good." After speaking, he passed Norman and rushed into the castle without looking back.

When he came out of the wash, Norman had already taken two so-called fugitive mages to drink tea in the lobby on the first floor.

"Does it still stink?" Kang Nan asked.

Norman sniffed it closer, and said with a smile, "Okay, I heard you went to the seaside saltworks? The sea breeze over there is more fishy."

Kang Nan said with a smile: "I found something edible at the seaside, and I tossed and tossed with it for several days, and I couldn't take a good bath. That's why I got the smell all over my body. Who are these two?"

"Your Majesty the Great King of Olanka," the two mages stood up, and a middle-aged man who seemed to be in his thirties saluted, pointed to a young man in his early twenties beside him and said, "I This is Eddie Burgess, and this is my colleague Carl Banks. The two of us heard that Olanka rejects the oppression and tyranny of the Holy Court, so we came here to seek refuge."

"Refuge?" Kang Nan sat on the first seat and took the tea handed by Aisha, "Aren't mages very expensive? Why do you still escape and seek refuge?"

Eddie glanced at Norman, and Norman smiled and said, "His Majesty Connan is very tolerant. Although he is young, he can accurately distinguish truth from lies. You just need to tell the truth. As for whether you can stay Come down, I have no way to call the shots."

"What did Char say?" Connan asked Norman.

Norman said: "Lord Charles means to let His Majesty decide for himself. As long as they don't build a mage tower in Olanka and don't teach the dogma of the Holy Court, Lord Char will not care."

"That's good... so what's going on?"

It turns out that whether it is the saint and son in the holy court, or the mage alchemist from the mage tower, the internal fighting is also very fierce.

Eddie and Carl's teachers like to look for mage-qualified students among the common people, because such students are cultivated with the strength of the whole family, even if they are angry, they don't dare to quit.Usually, the dirtiest, messiest and most dangerous jobs are done by these mages, and life and death are up to them.

When a mage appears in a commoner's family, no matter what kind of work he does, it will become the glory of the entire family, and even other people's families will look up to him.This situation also puts many commoner mages in a dilemma. After suffering, they don't learn new things, so they just use them as hard labor, and they are simply slaves who look glamorous.

If the qualifications of these civilian mage apprentices are average, that's all. If the qualifications are good, their teachers may not take a high look.A good-hearted mage might bring such an apprentice by his side to teach them hand in hand, and he could also teach a few powerful commoner mages.But there are too few teachers like this, and more teachers are afraid that their apprentices will overtake them, especially if they are born as a commoner, he doesn't think it is an honor, but a shame.

To become a powerful mage, in addition to one's own hard work and aptitude, one also needs various magic stones and magic crystals to practice.Because civilian mages don't have that much money, most of them stop at the lowest level.

Eddie is actually a very smart civilian mage. He knows how to hide himself, so he has led the mage association for more than ten years without any incidents.However, Karl's aptitude is too high, and he showed his extremely high integration with magic after learning it for a short time. Even a small spell has a very good effect.

If this matter fell into the eyes of their teacher, it would become a hidden disaster.Yes, their teacher is the kind of mage who is extremely narrow-minded, only shows the image of rich apprentices, completely ignores the life and death of poor apprentices, and most hates the kind of mage whose commoner apprentices will surpass him.

Their teacher may no longer be able to break through the bottleneck, so he fell in love with Karl's good aptitude, and even contacted the necromancer in private, wanting to refine Karl for his own conversion magic absorption.

Eddie heard about this incident for some reason, and he and Carl were a little unclear about the ambiguity, so he took Carl and fled while doing the task.

Kang Nan wasn't too touched by the unspoken rules of this "political professional circle", but he was a little surprised to hear that the old magician wanted the necromancer to refine a living person.

"You escaped, but what about your family?" he asked.

Eddie smiled wryly and said, "Karl was originally an orphan. He was picked up by my colleagues and wanted to take him back to be a servant, but somehow he learned magic and was favored by the teacher. As for me... I I have lived for more than 60 years, my family is not many, and I can't find them after the war..."

Kang Nan almost jumped up, "What? You're already sixty??" Hey, this is the first time he's seen a human magician's face-retaining technique.You look at people who are in their sixties, and they look like they are in their thirties, and they are still so energetic and handsome.When I am sixty... I am afraid that I will be as old as the bark of a tree, right?

Norman coughed twice, and said with a smile: "Then what does His Majesty think?"

Kang Nan came back to his senses, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm not sure about this matter. According to this, if you fled to Olanka, can the Master Tower let you go?"

Eddie smiled bitterly: "No mage can escape from the mage tower unless he dies or turns himself into a necromancer."

Kangnan really jumped up this time, "Damn, don't tell me that in a few days, there will be a large group of mages chasing and killing me!! My house has not been built yet, and I only have a few meals when I am full. !!" Oh my god, Norman brought two big explosives for himself! !
