I'm working on infrastructure in the wizarding world

Connan has a new understanding of Landis. Although the powerful and gorgeous fairy dragon in front of him can speak more than 1000 languages, but! !The vocabulary he usually uses is pitifully small.

Sneering with hum, disdain to use chirp, he is simply the brother of the second general hum ha living in exile.In addition, he traveled to the Magic Continent for several months and finally concluded that only relatives and orcs are ugly. Whenever he talks a lot, he must be complaining or disgusting. Kang Nan thinks that this person can go to a composition class only if he has a foundation of elementary school students. The kind, the words are too barren.

Landis ate his meal slowly, drank the last sip of soup under Kangnan's urging eyes, then wiped his mouth and hands, then stood up and walked to the square.

There were a lot of things drying in the square, and Landis continued to walk out without stopping, and said as he walked, "There are so many things, I can't put them here, so I can only put them outside."

Kang Nan's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and he rubbed his little hands together and asked, "How many are there? Wow, I'm really looking forward to it..."

Landis snorted and said, "My magic ring can hold a mountain."

Kang Nan gasped, his eyes lit up, "You got something from a mountain?

Landis gasped, "Half of them are my own."

Connan: ...

Half a mountain can be done!

Materials as large as a small mound are also fine!

As long as there is, he wants it, don't feel disgusted!

The ruins outside the square have been cleaned up a long time ago. Although it is not as smooth as the castle square with large bluestone slabs, the "New Olanka people" are very clean under the leadership of His Majesty the King, even the large area outside It is all flat land and gravel paved paths.

Landis touched the ring, raised his hand, and suddenly all kinds of trees, flowers and plants fell like rain, quickly occupying an area of ​​three or four acres of land, and piled up into a hill.

"This is only a part of it," Landis proudly raised his chin, "Did His Majesty see all of it today, or should we sort it out first?"

Kang Nan clutched his chest and looked at the huge plant mountain in front of him, as if he was a dragon who had seen a treasure.

"First, let's sort it out first, thank you so much for your generosity! My goodness, is this anise? Yes, this is anise! It's a pity that there is no way to grow anise here... Aisha, Aisha!! "

Aisha ran out in a hurry with her skirt in her hand. First, she was suppressed by the plant mountain in front of her, and then ran to Kangnan's side, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Quickly, arrange fifty people to organize these things for me! Clean up these star anise trees first, and store the fruits in the sun!" Kang Nan couldn't wait to take off a blue star anise and put it on his nose to sniff lightly. That kind of spice is unique The smell rushed into his nasal cavity immediately, making him sneezed uncontrollably.

Star anise is also called star anise, and each fruit has eight uniform petals.In addition to smell, this shape is also the most important way to identify star anise.Kang Nan still remembers the fact that in the first year of his poverty alleviation, someone in the village bought two catties of fake star anise and was poisoned. Since then, he has worked hard to identify all kinds of edible plants, and how to remove toxins from some edible plants containing small poisons. Methods.

This period of time is not a busy time for farming. Most people either go to open up wasteland, or go to the mountains to cut bamboo and vines and come back to do handicrafts. In short, few are idle.However, as long as His Majesty the King called, the people whose names were called immediately put down their work and ran over with Aisha.

"What kind of tree is this? Banyan tree? We don't seem to be able to plant banyan trees here. Let's see if there is any demand from the carpenter..." Kang Nanzhang led the people to separate the plants bit by bit, and put the useful ones and the edible ones. On one side, the useful fruit trees or other trees that can be planted should go to the other side, and find time to dig a hole and plant them quickly.Even if it is useless, it can be burned after drying, so it will not be wasted.

The batch released by Landis are all tropical plants, not many can be planted, and Kang Nan doesn't know much.But in addition to the star anise, we also found trees similar to cinnamon bark, so let's put it aside and wait for it to dry.

One of the biggest surprises is a large pile of taro.Taro can also be grown in places with a warm and humid oceanic climate, but it may not grow as big as in the south, but taro contains a lot of starch and is also a major food crop.

That pile of yams weighed over a thousand catties. In addition to eating yams as big as a palm, the young leaves of yams can be used to pickle sauerkraut, and the leaves can also be used to make fermented fertilizer. In Kangnan's hands , almost nothing goes to waste.

In addition to taro, there are passion fruit, pineapple and various wild fruits. Unfortunately, there is no way to grow these two kinds of fruits here. We can only pick the fruits and store them or dry them in the sun, and save them for early adopters.

It took three days to sort out this pile alone, and finally separated the categories of edible, non-edible, plantable and non-plantable in Kangnan's "barren" distinction.Although most of them cannot be grown in Oulanka, half of them are edible, directly enriching the variety of warehouse storage.

Even the trees that cannot be eaten are taken away, the branches and leaves are seen to be dried, and the trunks are kept for future furniture or house building.Among them, there are seven mature camphor trees that Kang Nan couldn't put it down. He ordered these seven trees to be used as cabinets for storage, and even the branches and leaves were preserved and dried and put in cloth bags to repel insects.

Things in the Landis ring are released continuously, from temperate, tropical, and frigid regions.Kangnan was dazzled by all kinds of familiar and unknown plants.It took a full month to sort out these materials. Before the rest, Landis said again: "I asked your people to dig a few big holes by the river."

Looking at the things recorded on the parchment, Kang Nan was so happy that he couldn’t find them in the north. Among them were not only mature cotton, but also all kinds of beans, melons, and peppers that he couldn’t find anywhere. Several thousand catties of fruit were selected!He was a little surprised when he heard what Landis said, "Dig a hole? What are you digging a hole for?"

"I have a surprise for you." Landis blinked at Kang Nan suddenly, and then made a gesture of invitation.

The river is on the north side of the castle, and it should have crossed the entire Oulanka, and finally meandered eastward into the sea.On the map, you can also see a huge inland lake behind the mountain on the opposite side of the river, but too many wild animals will go to drink water by the lake, and occasionally you can see monsters, which are marked as a first-level dangerous area on the map.

But a river has also stopped many animals and monsters. There are clear streams and large tracts of farmland on the side of the river, and many dealers have already shown the color of being about to mature.

Groom Bart brought the carriage, and there was still a long distance from the castle to the river.Crossing from the south gate to the north gate, Kang Nan stretched his neck and looked out.There are a lot of shrubs and semi-aquatic plants growing by the river. Some people in the castle cut reeds to weave mats and curtains. There are also many brooms for sweeping the floor, and the brooms for cleaning pots are all from the river. Made from dried plants.

When I approached Kangnan, I found that one of the reeds and shrubs had been cut down. I don’t know when this group of people dug several large pits covering an area of ​​about one mu at a distance of 60 meters from the river. Each pit is nearly one meter deep, and ditches leading to the river have been dug beside the pits, and now half of the river has been filled.

"Look," Landis raised his hand, pointing to the big pits.A touch of familiar greenery fills the pit in an instant, and a few pink flowers sway in the wind beside the giant green leaves.

"Ahhhh!!!" Kang Nan jumped out of the car and rushed to the edge of the pit, pulling off a lotus pod, "It's a lotus, a lotus!!!"

"Lotus...? Have you seen it before?" Landis frowned in displeasure.This kind of flower is also planted in the elves, in addition to pink and red and white, as well as yellow and purple water lilies.It's just that this thing is a flower after all, Landis didn't care.However, I saw a large area of ​​such flowers on the way to "get together with relatives", so I couldn't help but put some into the ring.

This flower has a very long name in the wizarding world, which means the house of the goblin.The goblins in the elves like to sleep in the buds of this flower, which is spacious and comfortable.

But Kang Nan calls this kind of flower lotus, and he still eats its seeds...

Landis:? ? ?

"Why do you put everything in your mouth? Are you not afraid of being poisoned?"

With tears in his eyes, Kang Nan quickly opened the lotus pod, dug out the plump green lotus seeds, gnawed off the outer skin, removed the inner core, and threw it directly into his mouth to chew.

"It's delicious, I'll peel one for you and try it."

This time he didn't have to chew on it, but tried his best to peel off the outer skin, picked the lotus seed heart and handed it to Landis' mouth, "Taste it, it's crispy and sweet."

Landis picked it up, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and said with a frown, "It's only a little bit sweet, far worse than candy."

Connan rolled his eyes inwardly, stuffed the half-stripped lotus pod into Landis' hands and began to undo his belt.

"What are you going to do?" Landis was so frightened by his action that he almost exploded his dragon scales, "It's just to see a few flowers, you don't have to..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Kang Nan Plop jumped into the water, and bent over to fumble for something from the muddy water.

Landis collected these lotus flowers naturally without mud and water, but when they were put into the pit just now, the roots of the flowers were naturally buried in the mud, leaving only the slim flowers and big green leaves.But when he saw Kang Nan digging a long flower root up, he really couldn't understand it.

"Are you going to plant it in the castle? I still have some left in my ring, and I plan to plant it in the pool on the square." Landis was fooled by His Majesty's successive operations, and even his tone became cautious. stand up.

He was really afraid that Kang Nan would tell him that it was edible, if this food was edible, he would roll back home!

"This is edible!!" Kang Nan put on his pants excitedly, bent over to wash the lotus root, "Let's go, I'll cook something delicious for you when I get back."

Landis: ...

What did he just say?It's just a flash of God's work, so I can't remember clearly.

"Bart, pick a few more big leaves, and pick a few more lotus pods, which is the thing I ate just now. Pick up the big ones. Those lotus flowers look relatively tender, so let's pick them together."

"Want to put it in your room?" Landis tried hard to maintain his three views.

"No, take it back and eat!" Kang Nan was excited like a child weighing three hundred catties, "I always thought that there should be lotus in the location of Olanka, but I don't have the opportunity to walk around. I didn't expect you I actually brought it back. I walked back, I will cook today. Thank you so much Landis, this is really a big surprise!"

The surprise you mentioned seems to be different from the surprise I thought of.

Landis was upset again, and went all the way to the castle with a sullen face, filling up the flower pond in the square without dispelling his resentment.

But Kang Nan was already used to this man's face, he casually comforted him a few words, and went into the kitchen with his things in his arms.

Landis couldn't tell why he was angry. He sat in the hall with a dark face, scaring Eddie and the others who were tired of working outside and wanted to come back to rest, and retreated.Without Norman backing them both up in Oulanka, the pair felt guarded everywhere they went.

Wanting to help with the laundry, the uncle stopped them directly, "My lord, we don't need magic to wash the clothes!" They went to the pottery workshop to help, but they were also blocked by the girl Amaru at the door, bluntly saying that there is no need here magic.

"We don't only know magic!" Eddie broke down a bit, and was eventually stuffed with a hoe by the "kind" Leia and taken out to open up wasteland.It's better to pick up branches before, at least no one stopped them to say that picking up branches doesn't require magic.

Because there is no need for magic.

"I feel that this dragon lord is too difficult to get along with." Smelling the pineapple fragrance in the air, Carl sniffed hard.Olanka is completely different from the country he brought before. Although everyone has no magic, they still live happily.Especially there are so many delicious food every day, even if I just eat steamed stuffed buns and baked pies every day recently, I don’t feel tired at all, I feel like I can eat them for a lifetime.

Today, the sisters in the kitchen picked out the ripe pineapples, peeled them one by one, cut them into slices, boiled them in hot water, and then baked them in the oven.The sweet pineapple aroma is rich and viscous, lingering around the castle for a long time.

He has already seen many people secretly swallowing saliva while working, but it is a pity that those things belong to His Majesty the King after all, no matter how greedy others are, they dare not taste them secretly.

"Brother Carl, can you help me?" A half-grown boy waved at Carl.Carl suddenly came back to his senses, he put down the hoe and walked over with a smile, "Is there a place that needs magic?"

The boy shook his head and said, "I'm going to dry all these pumpkins today, but I'm too busy. Brother Karl, can you help me peel and remove the seeds from the pumpkins?"

The pumpkins in the field had a bumper harvest, each of them was about to be as big as a wheel, and they were both doughy and sweet.Kang Nan was afraid that these pumpkins would go bad if they couldn't eat them, so he only kept some of them in the warehouse for winter, and peeled and sliced ​​the rest, boiled them in hot water and dried them in the sun.Sun-dried pumpkin can be eaten not only as dry food but also as a snack. It has been listed as the most popular civilian snack in Olanka along with dried sweet potato.

The sun-dried pumpkin will be divided into two parts, one part belongs to the tax for His Majesty the King, and the other part will be shared equally by the people who planted the pumpkin according to the catty. Hard currency.

Magic has no way of peeling.

Carl sighed, and called Eddie to come and help.The mithril-plated daggers they carried with them were sharper than the small iron blades, and could cut a large pumpkin in no time.

When Aisha came to invite them to dinner, the two realized that they had been sitting here peeling pumpkins all afternoon.There are several baskets of pumpkin skins alone, and no mana is consumed at all.

Carl took the labor fee from the boy—a small bag of sun-dried pumpkin slices.He was a little dazed, and said to Eddie: "If I was born in Oulanka, I might not have to work hard to learn magic. I feel that the slaves here live better than my family."

Eddie comforted him and said, "No, if you have been in Oulanka since you were born, you should have followed the nobles to other countries to make a living by now."

Carl sighed heavily, he went back to his room and put down the pumpkin, changed into clean clothes with Eddie and went downstairs again, and was suddenly overwhelmed by a strong, never-before-smelled fragrance!

On the dining table on the left side of the hall, there was food with a strong aroma that they had never seen before.Golden-yellow fried pancakes, unknown white fruits with amber sugar shells, food wrapped in huge leaves but with a rich broth, a plate of desserts with pale pink flowers, and then Connan was wrapped in a smell of oily smoke and brought Aisha over. Aisha was holding a huge plate in her hand. The things on the plate were familiar, but they were the ribs of an unknown animal.

But this rib should also be deep-fried, wrapped in an appetizing garlic aroma.

The maid behind Aisha continued to serve dishes one after another, fried unknown animal offal with chili, a large pile of chili with fried diced animal meat, a kind of tender red fruit fragments that seemed to be smashed open, exuding sour The sweet smell, and a plate of sliced ​​tomatoes sprinkled with white sugar, and finally a high stack of golden cakes with green vegetables and a large crock pot of vegetable soup.

These fresh, never-before-seen dishes were slowly placed on the table, and each of them was mouth-watering in terms of color and aroma.

Kang Nan rubbed his little hands and sat on the main seat and began to talk, "Quick, try this. Landis, this is made from lotus roots. Two slices of lotus root are stuffed with meat and fried in batter. It's good." Eat. It's a pity that Norman and Char are not here, so there is no good food."

"When I was away, didn't you still get something that I never ate?" Landis forked a piece of lotus root clip, put it in front of him, looked at it carefully, and then carefully took a bite.

"Crack." There was a subtle crisp sound between the lips and teeth. This was not only the sound of the crispy outer skin, but also the crisp texture of the roots inside.The batter covers the juice of the meat filling very well, and the lotus root is not dry or greasy after a bite of lotus root, and it is delicious.

Eddie was astonished after eating one, and in a hurry used a tong to hold another piece for himself and Carl.It's just that this piece just landed on the plate, when the beautiful former paladin discovered that Lord Dragon Clan dragged the whole plate of lotus root clips in front of himself.

Eddie: ...

The dragon clan's desire for monopoly is really not covered, even when eating?

Kangnan couldn't help but push the plate to the middle again, and said: "If you like to eat, don't you have so much? You can make it every day in the future, just in case you will get tired of it. Come, try this, silk lotus seeds, it's also delicious Very good."

Landis held back his dissatisfaction that he could not monopolize the lotus root folder, and used a fork to fork the lotus seeds.It's a pity that lotus seeds are originally round, but after being coated with a layer of sugar shell, they become brittle and hard. Where can a fork come up?

Kang Nan picked up the serving chopsticks with a smile, picked up a lotus seed and pulled out the long sugar shreds, then rinsed it in clean water, so that the outer sugar shell would become crispy and refreshing.The rinsed lotus seeds were placed directly on Landis's plate, and seeing his clumsy appearance of using a fork to dip the lotus seeds into a spoon to eat them made me want to laugh even more.

"You can use chopsticks." The two wooden sticks became extremely flexible under Kang Nan's fingertips. "Eddie and the others have learned how to use chopsticks. You should learn it too."

Landis snorted and said, "My set of tableware is made of sterling silver and gemstones."

Kang Nan swallowed his laughter hard, and said: "You can also make a pair of sterling silver chopsticks inlaid with gemstones in the future, but if I cook, it will be more convenient to use chopsticks." He picked up another pair of chopsticks A silk lotus seed, rinsed in clear water and put directly into the mouth, chewed with a crackling sound.

Landis was upset again, "Aren't chopsticks only used to eat noodles? You only used chopsticks to eat noodles before eating!"

Kang Nanha laughed out loud, and said: "That was in the past. Later, I always ate steamed stuffed buns, and I no longer needed chopsticks and forks. Okay, don't be angry, come and try this, deep-fried lotus, sprinkled with salt and pepper, Very fragrant."

Landis ate the petals of the lotus angrily. He only thought that the vegetables that the elves had grown for so many years didn't know that this kind of flower could be eaten, and it was beautiful and delicious.

After eating two petals, Kang Nan picked up a knife and cut off the lotus leaf on the lotus leaf chicken.The scent that was originally enveloped was out of control immediately, and it rushed in front of everyone, and it kept drilling into the nose.

Aisha stepped forward with a knife and fork to separate the chicken, revealing the diced fruit, mushroom and lotus root inside.The diced mushrooms and diced lotus root, which have been salted, are soaked in the fat of the chicken during the roasting process, and each one exudes an unparalleled aroma.

These two lotus leaf chickens are two little roosters that Kang Nan picked in the chicken coop. There are about 20 roosters in the chicken coop. Because there is no orc control, the big cocks always fight if they want to monopolize the hen. At this time, the little cocks He would be beaten to the point of bleeding, very pitiful.His Majesty the King can't see such a poor little rooster being bullied, so he simply...

Served on the table.

Because the chicken is too small, many dignitaries are unwilling to eat it, and it is not domineering or ugly when placed on the table.They prefer geese and a kind of bird called turkey.But the orcs here don't raise turkeys. Even if they raise chickens, they sell eggs to nobles. When the chickens are old, they kill them and sell them to civilians. After all, they are still a plate of meat.

Aisha had eaten chicken before, and the cooked chicken was very bad, with so many bones, it felt like there were only a few pieces of meat that could be eaten.However, His Majesty used another method to make the chicken so delicious that the chicken would fall apart with a light flick of a fork, and besides the strong meaty aroma, there was also a faint leafy aroma, which was overbearing.

She almost held her breath and took apart the two lotus leaf chickens, the saliva in her mouth was flooding.Others feel that it is an honor for them to be able to serve His Majesty personally as the head maid, but it is extremely painful to serve His Majesty for dinner now.

It is so fragrant!Why is it so fragrant! !
