Otherworldly Enchanter

Chapter 6 Preparing for Winter

Wu Wei has not made much progress in his studies these days, and the teacher also said that this step is the most difficult, as long as he masters it, he will learn easily.Now the students in Class 1 are working hard every day, hoping to change the shape of water as soon as possible.Seeing that they were all in low spirits, the teacher decided to give them two days off tomorrow to let them go out for a walk to relax.

Back home after school, Edith is still processing the meat. In the past few days, Edith has hunted a lot of monsters. Except for the daily consumption, the others are made into meat strips, smeared with salt and hung in the yard to dry. These days I have already stocked some, but it is far from enough for the 5-month winter. I can hunt normally at the beginning of winter, and then as the weather gets colder and colder, hunting becomes more and more difficult. Even the meat in the shop becomes very There are few and the prices are scary. Some small shops simply closed their shops. Large shops with cold storage are fully stocked before winter, so they can be sold in winter.

(There is a refrigeration tube in the cold storage, which is an enchanted product. Fill the bamboo tube with water, and enchant a cooling rune on the outside of the bamboo tube. The water in the tube freezes to reduce the surrounding temperature. As long as there are enough crystal sources, the cooling The cylinder can work all the time, and the junior enchanter can do it by supplementing the crystal source.)

However, because the refrigeration cylinder consumes a lot of crystals, ordinary shops can’t afford it, and the crystals need to be replenished frequently. Enchanters are not always on call. They are dedicated to researching runes and enchanting every day. How can they have time? Running around to replenish crystal sources for others.Therefore, shops that can use cold storage are generally owned by relatives and friends of enchanters.

The average family can only try to collect as much food as possible before the severe winter, and the winter will pass after eating some unpalatable jerky.

Winter is approaching, and Wu Wei also wants to find out if there is any other food that can be stored.Tomorrow's holiday, he plans to take Edith to accompany him to the market, and he can also help him fight things.You can't just rely on Edith to hunt and collect, because the meat is too simple.

"Edith, can you go out with me tomorrow? I want to buy something."

"Well, are you on vacation tomorrow?" Edith said coldly.

"We have two days off. I want to buy some other food and supplies. If I eat meat all winter, I will definitely get tired."Wu Wei squatted down and put his chin in his hands and said (pretending to be cute again subconsciously).

"Okay, I'll go out after breakfast tomorrow." Seeing Xiaowei's appearance, I wanted to reach out and rub his face. My heart beat faster, and I lowered my head before blushing and continued to handle the meat in my hand.

He thinks he has a strong ability to control his emotions. Except in front of Xiao Wei and his parents, he can't help staring at him in front of Xiao Wei. Every time his heart beats faster, he diverts his attention in time. He was afraid that Xiaowei would discover his thoughts too early, and if he took defense, he would be completely useless.In front of his parents, his control is often broken, so he is definitely angry.

Seeing that he agreed, Wu Wei went back to the house and took out all the fabrics he had bought before. He had to make a few sets of long-sleeved clothes before winter came, otherwise he would be frozen when he went out.

Now there are not a few days of preparation time, so we have to hurry up and make the simplest clothes. Since the cotton fabric is a little thin, we can only make double layers.Take out the tools to be used from the space, first measure the size with a tape measure, record it well, spread a large sheet of paper on the bed, and make a plate. The collar is made of a round neck, which is relatively simple. It is good to wear a scarf when it is cold. up.The sleeves are one-piece sleeves, because it is simple and easy to make, and it is also easy to put on the sleeves.The trousers are made of sports style, and the waist is made of drawstring style.

After the pattern is made, lay it on the fabric, fix it with a pin, take out the painting powder, draw the pattern on the fabric, cut it off 1 cm away from the pattern after drawing, and sew it after cutting. Sewing is too troublesome, and it is very slow. After thinking about it, I decided to buy a pedal sewing machine, seaming machine and some things that can be used. I can’t sew today. Wu Wei is going to make a set for Edith, after all. Now people take care of him every day, do a lot of things for him, work hard, and sometimes pay for it themselves.

When he can become an enchanter to give back, it is estimated to be one or two years.A few days ago I was so tiring helping him cook pottery, and recently I was preparing food for the winter every day, hey~~ No matter how I look at it, I feel like I am being exploited by him.So he wanted to make a set of long-sleeved clothes for Addis, which can be worn at other times except for hunting (Addis' hunting clothes are enchanted and can be adjusted in size. Ordinary clothes must be scrapped when the beast transforms itself.)

According to his purpose, the size of Edith was measured, and then it was plate making and cutting.When you are done, fold the cut pieces together, and you can start working when the sewing machine arrives tomorrow.I also put away all the layout drawings, which can be used for making clothes in the future.

After breakfast the next day, the two went out. One of them carried a big bag with several cloth bags in it. It looked like they were going to sweep the goods~~~.

This time Edith deliberately took him to the market in the west of the city. Of course, he still remembered that his mother and father said that he wanted to take a look at Wu Wei.Accompany Wu Wei to go shopping first, and then take him home~~.

This time, Wu Wei mainly wanted to find out if there was anything like rice, and he went carefully to every shop, and he didn't miss any street stalls outside the shops.He really found it, and with bright eyes, he dragged Edith to the booth, "How do you sell this?".

The stall owner greeted customers with a smile, "A handful of raw corn is 10 black stones, and a handful of fried corn is 20 black stones."

Edith pulled Wu Wei up with a dark face, "You want to eat this? Can I afford you?".

"This is delicious. I used to eat it every day." Wu Wei looked at the inexplicably dark-faced Edith and said firmly. He didn't want to be dragged away by Addis. After shopping for a long time, he finally found the rice. It's not for nothing.

"Don't worry, I won't let you starve in the future, I will let you eat meat every day."Edith looked at him with pity, no wonder he was so thin and small, but he actually ate corn every day!Only disabled orcs who lost their ability to hunt would eat some corn when they were too hungry in winter, and some would rather eat tree roots than corn.He made up his mind to hunt more and let Xiaowei grow some meat this winter.

Wu Wei broke away from Edith's hand, joking, eating meat every day?Is that what people do?Sooner or later he would die from constipation, oh~~ He forgot that Edith was originally an orc, and they were different from each other. "I really love rice, and I came out today mainly to find rice."

Edith is also very helpless now, Xiao Wei is too willful, "then you buy less...".

Wu Wei rolled his eyes at him, then turned to the corn stall owner and said, "Give me 100 handfuls of raw corn."

The stall owner was overjoyed. When he met a big customer, he ignored the guy standing next to the little female and put them into Wu Wei's bag.This bag of corn weighed more than 100 catties. After paying the money, Edith picked up the rice bag with a dark face, and the other one grabbed Wu Wei and left.Wu Wei was still wondering, he just wanted to eat some rice, so why did Edith get angry? The air pressure around his black face dropped accordingly.Wu Wei didn't dare to ask him now, for fear that an accident would make him angry.

"You, is there anything else you need to buy?" Edith spoke first to ease the atmosphere. He didn't want Xiaowei to be estranged from him, and his emotions were a little out of control just now. Little females are very capricious, so he should go along with it. Look at him, you can buy whatever you want, anyway, he cooks two meals, and when the time comes, make more meat for him, corn, etc. Just find a chance and throw it away. The most important thing is to get in touch with Xiao Wei as soon as possible.

Wu Wei saw that he wasn't angry anymore, so he didn't mention this matter, just talk about something else to divert his attention, "I don't know, let's see what's there first."

The two just strolled hand in hand~~ and the two of them didn't seem to realize that they were holding hands-. -~~~

"Ah, there's what I want." If he read it correctly, it should be sweet potatoes. Great, I found another favorite.

"That's soil fruit." Why does Xiaowei love to eat all these things?Is he a herbivorous orc female?But herbivorous females also like to eat green vegetables, but eat some soil and fruits when food is scarce.Did you get used to it?I really want to beat his parents to the ground, such a good little female is not well raised.Eddie clenched his fists.

I bought a bag of local fruits, some jams and vegetables. Dried vegetables can be stored for a long time. One of them was excited, and the other walked gloomyly until noon. Both backpacks were full. Eddie Adams also carried and resisted and took four bags full of food, which were not heavy at all for Edith.

I bought everything that needed to be bought, and Edith saw that it was almost time and wanted to take Xiao Wei home, "Xiao Wei, you are tired from walking all day, let's take a rest at my house nearby."

"Your home is near here? Why didn't you tell me earlier, we are friends now, of course we have to visit your father and mother when we pass by your house, what your mother and father like to eat, I'll buy something to take with me."Although it was a bit awkward for Edith to call him Xiaowei, he didn't think it was a problem. Edith took such good care of him, so he should give his parents some gifts to express his gratitude.

"You don't need to bring anything, let's go." After finishing speaking, he led the way.

Wu Wei could only keep up, but he felt bad about not giving something away, so he simply took out a dagger from the space. He didn't think about using it when he bought the daggers, but he thought those daggers were very sharp. The style is also very good and I bought it.I didn’t expect to use it today, and it’s pretty good as a gift. The iron casting technology here is controlled by the state. The number of iron weapons sold every year is very small, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them.His dagger is considered high-end here.

After walking not far, we arrived at Dimon's shop.Since what Wu Wei wanted to buy before were all vegetables, he didn't enter any shops that sold animal skins or meat.Also missed Dimon's shop.

"Father, I'm back"

"Little Eddie is back," Dimon put down his work and walked over, "Is he the little female you mentioned?" Dimon looked at Wu Wei and asked.

"Well, his name is Wu Wei", "This is my mother and father Dimon" introduced to Wu Wei again.

"Uncle Dimon, hello."

Dimon let them into the inner room, and put down his backpack and bags, "I will accompany Xiao Wei to buy food today, and I will come to see you."

"You guys stay here for dinner tonight, and your father's hunting party will be back in a while. This little female is so beautiful," he winked at Edith as he spoke.

Now Wu Wei is used to words like little female and beautiful.Edith obviously agreed with what his parents said, and his pride was on the rise, but he didn't agree to stay for dinner at night, because he was afraid that Wu Wei wouldn't get used to it, and he had to go hunting tomorrow, so he couldn't waste any more time.

Dimon took some snacks and chatted with Wu Wei while eating, just to talk about how the school is going, come over if you have time, and so on.I also talked about some things about Edith being naughty and often beaten by his father when he was a child, but he didn’t miss out on Edith’s old background. Just look at Edith’s face. His perfect image~~Let his parents It was ruined, and it was still in front of Wu Wei, so how could he establish a glorious image in his wife's heart in the future. .Tears~~~

"Xiaowei, let's go back, it's too late and the road is not easy." It was only afternoon, and Edith couldn't pass the test regardless of the excuse, so he had to take Xiaowei away quickly, otherwise his parents didn't know what to say.

"~~ Well, Uncle Dimon, let's go first, and come back to you when we have time." Then he took out the gift dagger under the cover of the backpack, "This is a gift for you, I hope you like it."

After receiving it, Dimon opened the box and found a beautifully crafted dagger inside. He was immediately surprised. This is not something that can be bought with money. Only Edith's father Lat has one in their family. "This~~ What a beautiful dagger, even more beautiful than Lat's." Dimon couldn't put it down, he didn't expect his future daughter-in-law to be so generous, he must have taken a fancy to that silly boy Edith, otherwise how could he give such an expensive gift to others.Dimon didn't shirk it either, since they will be a family anyway.

Edith was also very surprised, looking at Wu Wei innocently, he actually gave such a beautiful dagger to his parents, he didn't even have one.

Wu Wei seemed to understand, and smiled at Edith, "I'll give you a hand when I get back."

Edith was elated.

Dimon picked 5 high-quality silver fox skins from the store for them to bring. Silver foxes are particularly cunning and difficult to hunt, but silver fox fur is very soft, and it is the best for making clothes and making beds.

After bidding farewell to Dimon, Wu Wei, and Edith, they returned.
