I'm working on infrastructure in the wizarding world

"Norman!" Kang Nan put on a thick cloak and went out, "I thought you would come back in the spring."

"Kangnan." Norman still smiled before saying anything. He opened his arms and hugged Kangnan gently, and then let go, "I went back to the clan first, and there is nothing wrong in winter. I’m coming here.” As he spoke, his eyes fell on the little black dragon holding Kangnan’s thigh, and he was stunned, “You raised another dragon? No, it’s not... this... Randy S?"

The smell of a dragon will not change, not to mention that the orcs have a keen sense of smell, and they only recognize the original identity of the little black dragon in an instant.

Norman was even more shocked, "Hasn't he already passed his infancy? What's going on here? Is the bloodline of the mixed blood unstable?"

"Probably." Connan grabbed his trousers with one hand, bent down and tried to lift Xiaolong up, and then looked at Norman, "Have you eaten yet? If you don't mind, there are some meals left, which can be used to fill your stomach." .”

Norman smiled and said, "I don't mind." He breathed a sigh of relief, "After running outside for so long, I suddenly realized that this place is what I miss the most besides the ethnic group. Maybe it's because being in Olanka can make people feel happy. Bar."

Aisha hurried over and went to the kitchen again. Because it was cold, a lot of food could be stored, so I was not afraid of leftovers.Before Kang Nan commanded, he made a lot of dumplings and frozen them, and now he just picked some up and cooked them for Norman's dinner.

"Where did you go during this time?" Kang Nan fixed Xiaolong on his lap, sat at the dining table and looked at the dusty Norman, "I thought you would come back after going out for a walk, who knows that it will pass by all of a sudden." Many months."

Norman sighed, and said: "At that time, I just felt very embarrassed, so I wanted to go out for a walk, so I went to the north. I met a group of magicians attacking a griffin over there, so I helped the griffin, and waited for the griffin to recover. Well, I'll be back."

His words were vague, but Connan didn't care.Norman is a person who can tell you if he wants to, even if you don't want to listen.If he doesn't want to say it, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to open your mouth.

"Aren't griffins very powerful?" Connan remembered what Charle had said before.The fighting power of the Griffin is second only to the Dragon Clan. If Landis grows a few more years, he will be able to draw with the Griffin. It can be seen that the Griffin is definitely the top existence among the orcs.

Again, the number is rare because of the top.I heard that griffin eggs are difficult to hatch. It has always been necessary for the husband and wife to take turns incubating the eggs to have a chance to hatch the baby griffin.But because the time is too long, many griffins become impatient because they are young couples, and throw eggs to the elders in the clan or find a warm place to bury them.

It is precisely because of this that the number of griffins is not much more than that of dragons.

Norman shook his head and said, "The griffin I met was very young. He said he hatched on his own and had no parents to teach him. He has been living in the north. It may be because of this experience that he has a somewhat extreme temper and looks down on him very much. Human beings. Those mages seem to have gathered the most powerful mages in the surrounding mage towers to capture this griffin who was alone outside. He underestimated the enemy and almost died in the hands of the mages."

The Griffin race is very strange. Although they belong to the Beastman family, they don't live together with other Beastmen, but have their own separate territory.They hatch little griffins entirely based on luck, because a couple of griffins may lay more than ten eggs in their lifetime, and it is considered good if they can hatch one or two.The rest of the eggs either died by accident, or they didn't know where they were buried and couldn't find them.

Because griffin eggs have a very interesting feature. In order to avoid being found, eaten or destroyed by others, they will simulate the smell and color of the surroundings when they are buried, completely hiding themselves, even careless parents will not Might be found.

The dragon eggs are basically indestructible because they are strong, and each dragon egg will be kept by the adult dragon and taken care of carefully. After the dragon egg hatches, it can be seen by the little dragon for the first time, and it can teach it. elders.

The griffin that Norman encountered hatched by itself. After hatching, the baby griffin inherited the inheritance of the race. Originally, he could choose to return to the group according to the inheritance, but for some reason, he developed an extreme temper and directly occupied the family. The land is king.

Before the dumplings were served, Norman pointed at Xiaolong with a smile, and said, "Does your lord Landis turn into a cub in winter? But it seems to be a circle bigger than last year, but It's still so clingy to you, but it's much cuter than after recovering."

The little black dragon rolled his eyes and put his head on Kang Nan's shoulder.If he hadn't felt that he had to beware of this silly dog, he would never have come down to meet him at such a time.

Kang Nan touched the tip of Xiaolong's wings and said, "I don't know what's going on. Char said it might be a problem with his blood. Originally, he wanted to inform his parents and grandparents on the day he changed. There, but if he leaves Oulanka, it may become unsafe, so it can only be like this temporarily. And Char also lost his temper with Eddie and wanted him to make a teleportation array..."

Norman laughed and said: "The teleportation array is not that easy. Even if it is a teleportation array made by a few archmages with the Sorcerer's Stone, it will be destroyed immediately after passing a dragon. He probably wants Eddie to make a teleportation array." Go directly to the Dragon Clan, and then transfer from the Dragon Clan to the Demon Clan or the Elf Clan. It’s just Eddie... In fact, Eddie is not bad, but he hasn’t been exposed to those high-level magic, so it’s not normal.”

There are dragon cubs in Oulanka, and the adult dragons dare not leave, so they can only be notified by others.After all, he couldn't guarantee what would happen if he left the front foot, even if he could fly to the Dragon Clan in half a day, and back and forth in a day, but if something happened, Charl would definitely regret it.

Kang Nan thought for a while and said: "Char said at the time that if Norman was here, he would dare to leave temporarily, but you were not there at that time."

Norman couldn't believe his ears, "Master Charles thinks of me quite highly? Would you trust me so much?"

Kang Nan said: "After all, we are friends, and it's normal to trust friends."

Norman blinked, and smiled very happily this time. He said, "Sure enough, being friends with you is more enjoyable than going further. I was too abrupt before, sorry."

After apologizing, he suddenly felt much more comfortable, and at this time the dumplings were also served.The hot and fragrant meat dumplings warmed his stomach properly.Norman felt that it would be good to stay in Olanka even in the future, and it was not that there would be no orcs living in the human country. He really wanted to regard this place as his second home.

Early the next morning, Norman was awakened by loud noises.He got dressed and walked to the terrace, and found that Kang Nan was leading a group of people to the river, looking very happy.

This big river that runs through the whole of Oulanka splits into two when it is approaching the main city of Oulanka, part of it plunges into the mountains and forms an extremely deep turbulent river in the mountain stream, and part of it washes out near the main city. A large shoal, although the river is wide, it is not that deep, and the water is clear.

Now not far from the river, there are large lotus ponds and many paddy fields. Those paddy fields are prepared to be used for planting new crops. Norman knew this before he left.It's just that when I saw the lotus pond, I couldn't help but get lost.

He remembered that when he came back, he would pass by a large lotus pond, but this time he came back and found that the lotus pond was empty.It's not that there is no water, but that the withered leaf stems are suddenly missing, and it looks like it has been artificially destroyed.

Was it originally ported here?But that place is not too close to here, how did Kang Nan find that piece of lotus pond?He originally planned to take Kangnan to see the beautiful scenery over there when he was free, but he got ahead of him.

Is it... Landis?

How did he suddenly learn to use flowers to please people?

Kangnan did not dig out too many lotus roots in this large area of ​​lotus ponds. He waited for next spring to dig a few more lotus ponds, and then transplanted lotus root roots for large-scale cultivation.The lotus root contains starch, which is good whether it is a vegetable or a staple food. As long as it does not encounter too much drought, it can guarantee a minimum harvest.It can be regarded as a commercial crop that guarantees harvest in drought and flood.

But this time Kangnan's goal is not the lotus field, but the frozen river.

Although there are long winters and heavy snowstorms here, the overall temperature is not as cold as in the north.Although the surface of the river was frozen, it wasn't very thick. It looked like four or five inches at most.He has been greedy for fish for a long time, and he had someone make a large net with bamboo and hemp rope before. It has been more than a month since winter, and it has snowed three times. people come out.

The students are on holiday today, but there will be a monthly exam in two days.It's just that they haven't experienced the cruelty of the exam yet, and now they are all as happy as children coming to the winter tour.

River fish are rarely eaten because of their spines.Sea fish is also the privilege of the rich and powerful. They will use the magic stone to drive the big ship into the open sea, and then use magic to catch the huge fish in the sea, fry the fish fillet with the fattest and softest parts, sprinkle pepper and onion, it is the best tasty.

Sea fish is just out of reach for Kang Nan now. His hope for seafood is that the sea will give more sea shells growing on rocks, kelp washed up on the coast, and all kinds of seaweed when the tide is low. A stupid fish that didn't make it back to the sea in time.

The wharf next to the salt field has not been repaired yet, and the original sea ships have been burned and sunk. It is estimated that if you sneak into the sea ships, you can touch a lot of sea goods that have become their own.Therefore, now he can only place his hopes on He Yu.

River fish in winter are the most plump, because the river surface is frozen and the oxygen in the water is scarce. Most of them quietly "hibernate" in the water to reduce consumption.At this time, the body of the fish is covered with fish oil, which is used to wait until the river opens in spring, so that it can go upstream to find love.

The long iron rods were hammered into the ice, and several strong men with ropes tied around their waists carefully stepped on the ice, striking the iron rods hard to crack the ice.

Kang Nan stretched his neck and waited on the shore. A moment later, someone on the ice shouted loudly: "It's cracked, it's cracked, everyone be careful. Use your strength, one! Two! Three! Get up!!"

With a continuous crackling sound, more than ten square meters of ice were chipped up, exposing the flowing river below.

"There are fish!" Someone screamed, "What a big fish, how big!!"

Because the ice here has entered oxygen, big fish swim over one after another, and even jump out of the water.

Kang Nan stomped his feet excitedly, wishing he could run forward.It's a pity that Aisha held his arm hard and couldn't break free at all.Aisha was afraid that His Majesty the King would run up to the ice regardless, and if he accidentally fell down—she couldn't imagine it.

In the past, countless people died in this river every year, especially in winter. Somewhere there would be a hole in the ice. After falling, they couldn't even swim up, and they were frozen to death in the river.

The little black dragon flapped its wings and walked around. He wanted to join in the fun, but his reserved, noble and clean nature overcame the cub's urge to play, so he just sat on Kangnan's head , watching from a distance.

But Eddie Carr and Norman were on the ice, holding a large net to catch the fish that kept jumping out of the water, and then threw them heavily on the ice.

Humans don't eat river fish, but there are orcs in the orc tribe who like to eat fish, but fish is not a fixed menu.Norman has eaten both sea fish and river fish. For him, the fat and tender sea fish fried in butter has no spines, which is the most suitable for eating.And the river fish... At the beginning, when he swallowed it, his mouth was bloodied.Moreover, the strong fishy smell made him extremely uncomfortable, and he would rather be hungry than eat this again.

But Kangnan wanted to eat, and Kangnan's taste was elusive. The only thing that was certain was that he could indeed turn something that was unpalatable into delicious.

Norman was looking forward to the final taste of the river fish.

The big fish, longer than an arm, was half-frozen on the ice, and then dragged to the shore by laughing women and children, put them into baskets, and carried them back to the castle continuously.Kang Nan went back with the first batch of fish and stood in front of the big basket to pick and choose.

The most of these big fish are carp. Carp is originally the most widely distributed freshwater fish. The largest can be two or three meters long, and it is said that it can eat people!The fish in the river have never been caught, so each one has silver scales and a fat belly, which looks delicious.Followed by herring and grass carp, there are also many fathead fish and a rare big crucian carp that is almost one meter long. I am afraid that this fish will become fine in a few years, but it is a pity that it was caught because of the ventilation. It has become a delicacy on the table.

People in Olanka are very pursuing big ingredients, the bigger the better, the more they can eat.The fish caught this time were less than those with short arms, especially the one that was brought back in the end was so big that it was said that it almost dragged people into the water. They were all dragged to the shore.

Large fish with shining silver scales covered the entire square, and the air was full of fishy smell.Landis closed his nasal cavity in disgust, completely unaware of how delicious this kind of thing is.

"Come here, everyone who knows how to cook, come here, I will teach you a unique skill!" A cauldron was set up in the square, and several large tables were placed beside the cauldron, and huge cutting boards were placed on the tables.This chopping board was originally used to cut monster meat, but now it has become a place for Kang Nan to kill fish.

"This is what I used to tell..." Kang Nan said halfway, and then said after a pause: "I learned from a friend who likes to eat fish. It happens that the fish we catch is big and easy to handle!"

Holding a large kitchen knife in his hand, he chopped off the head and tail of the fish with a bang, and cut open the fish's belly and scraped off the scales neatly.The cod liver, fish intestines, swim bladder and scales are packed separately, and the rest of the garbage is thrown into the bucket.This kitchen knife seemed to grow in his hand. He separated a big fish into different parts such as skin, meat, and steak. He also cut off the back meat of the fish with the most thorns and showed it. Throw it in the trash.

After dividing two big fish, he picked up another fish and quickly scraped the scales to remove the internal organs. After dividing it into two halves, he scraped the flesh with the back of a knife.The scraped fish head is mixed with ginger juice, eggs and some salt, and then rolled into white and round fish balls in boiling water.

Finally, he fried the fish steaks, fried the fish bones and fish fillets, and made simple braised fish nuggets, steamed the fish heads with pickled peppers, and then cooked them with the remaining fish heads and tails The soup is filled with soaked bamboo shoots and mushrooms, cooked fish balls, sprinkled with chopped green onion when it comes out of the pot, and the fragrant fish head ball soup is ready.

While he was doing it, a group of people next to him were working hard to record. When he finished and returned to the castle restaurant with delicious food, the place became lively.

"By the way, leave the fish intestines and so on for me. Remember to wash them later, and the fish scales too, and save them for boiled jelly." Kang Nan ordered before leaving.

A table full of dishes made of fish, together with some cold cucumbers and tomatoes, and freshly baked barbecued meat pies made everyone salivate.The fish bone has been deep-fried, and it is crispy and crispy when sprinkled with salt and pepper.Fish steaks and fish fillets are all battered and fried directly in the oil pan. They are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, without a single thorn.Braised fish nuggets choose the fattest fish belly. Although there is no soy sauce for coloring, hawthorn and lemon are added for flavor, and tomato sauce is added to match. It is sweet, sour and salty, especially with rice.

This is the first time I used chopped chili as a condiment for fish head with chopped pepper. It smells hot and sour. When I dipped my chopsticks down, I was forced to cry, but I still couldn't help but continue to eat with chopsticks, sweating my forehead.

After eating enough fish meat, I want a bowl of fish head ball soup. The delicious fish balls have no fishy smell at all, and the fish soup has rolled out milky white. Every bite of the meatballs is warm from the mouth to the stomach. It seems like a winter day. Best soup ever.Paired with meatloaf that is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, the soul of the whole person will be sublimated.

Kang Nan was full of fish, touched his belly in satisfaction, and suddenly said to Norman: "These fish can also be marinated and made into smoked meat. When eating, they can be cut into pieces, steamed, fried or stewed. There are also fish balls, many fish balls and meatballs can be frozen for sale in winter, and they can be eaten in soup or fried, so they should be regarded as seasonal cash crops, right?"

When it came to business, Norman suddenly became energetic. He swallowed the fish balls in his mouth and said, "This fish is not farmed, so it counts?" He was talking about the content of the contract.

Kang Nan said: "Oh, if it doesn't count, don't use it. We will make fish balls and sell them ourselves."

Norman immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for your generosity, I can exchange these ways of cooking fish for gold coins for His Majesty, you see..."

"Gold coins? Yes." Kang Nan originally just wanted to add these. After all, the fish is not farmed. There are plenty of them in the river, and it is complicated to do. He didn't want to do it in large quantities.If it really develops, it will be much easier to buy semi-finished products made by orcs and process them into finished products and sell them directly in snack bars.

But when they were eating, the live barrage exploded.

"Am I overthinking? I always feel that this king named Kang Nan doesn't look like a local."

"Add me upstairs. I checked the records of the food he made. They all come from an ancient country of Huaguo. Now we have many Huaguo restaurants here. What they cook is this kind of food that looks very complicated but tastes very delicious. Delicious food."

"Yeah, I think most of the magic world is dominated by people from Europe and America. Even the black-haired people mostly have a little bit of mixed blood. In addition, they did eat bread and barbecue before. Why did they suddenly do it?" What about Huaguo delicacies?"

"And it's self-taught, have you found out? Just now the king said that a friend taught him to kill fish? Can it take a few years to learn how to kill fish?"

"Is this the legendary soul travel??"

"What you said above makes sense, but doesn't soul travel just mean that the project has not really succeeded? Although the live broadcast equipment can enter the world of the plane, after all, it is mainly based on radio waves. It's too complicated and I can't explain it clearly. , but the soul has not been sure that it can really travel through, right?"

"I've been suspicious since he made dumplings, and now I'm sure that Kang Nan is not a native of the magical world! Can't the live broadcast management platform come out and give an explanation?"

"Yeah, I have to give an explanation. And did you find out that this man named Kang Nan never interacts with the live broadcast! Does he know that there is a live broadcast? Are we violating the privacy of the other party?"

"He should know about the live broadcast, otherwise he wouldn't have turned off the live broadcast at night. I remember that there seemed to be an interaction, but it was only one or two sentences, and it was very rare."

"Others are trying to interact to get gifts, and he doesn't interact. It's been so difficult after a year. Could it be that he was threatened by the live broadcast platform?"

"Damn it, what you said upstairs makes sense..."

The comments were posted too fast, and Kang Nan usually didn't bother to read the comments, unless he was looking for some life skills, so he perfectly missed everyone's guess about his identity.

But a few days later, when the management of the live broadcast platform contacted him directly, he was a little dazed.

"Soul transmigration? None of you are sure, how can I be sure?" Kang Nan covered his head with the quilt and communicated with the platform management with brain waves, "Shouldn't you ask my so-called customer service about this matter? The system or What?"

"Yes, I died once, due to an accident caused by your negligence, why, now you want me to die again?"

Landis and Char opened their eyes at the same time, and they felt a strange, magic-like fluctuation appearing in this space again at the same time, and the source of the fluctuation was Connan.

Landis quietly raised his paw to lift the corner of the quilt, and Kang Nan suddenly opened his eyes and pulled the quilt back, "Don't get into my bed, sleep on your side!"

Landis: ...

Is this, is there magic?
