A bunch of servants came in with boxes of food and laid them out on the table. Because there were so many food boxes, the scene was quite spectacular.
The attitudes of the people standing on the left and right sides of the long table were obviously different.
The food box is a simple wooden box. Although it seems to be quite exquisite to the people of Matil, in fact, the insulation and sealing effects are very average. As soon as it is taken out, the aroma comes out immediately and cannot be concealed at all.
It can be clearly seen that people who smell this fragrance have two completely different reactions.
One of the two dukes standing closest to the table had a very relaxed expression, even a bit of enjoyment. But the other one had a serious expression, as if facing a formidable enemy, as if he was not facing some delicious food, but the terrifying sight of blood sealing his throat.
In fact, most of the other people in the palace behaved similarly, with only a few appearing relaxed.
The Duke, with a relaxed expression, motioned to his servants to open the box.
So in a short period of time, various rich aromas filled the entire palace.
Because they are all fresh food, even if the aroma is mixed, it does not make people feel uncomfortable. The aroma is just so fragrant that it makes people feel hungry.
The Duke took a step forward and reached for the knife and fork prepared beside him. He seemed to want to make a move, but was stopped by the serious-looking king: "Akara, don't touch it!"
Akara turned back and looked at the king helplessly: "Your Majesty, don't you want to confirm with your own eyes that these things are not a conspiracy of the magician?"
"You put too much trust in those mages," said the king.
But someone sent a group of prisoners up.
Because he is a prisoner, he lacks food on weekdays, and often only maintains the minimum amount of food to sustain his life. When he smells the fragrance and sees these delicious and delicious foods, his eyes instantly turn red.
Even if there was a brief thought in my mind that these foods must be evil or even poisonous, the temptation and impact of food are completely different for hungry people and full people.
When necessary, people will actually be controlled by instinct and transform into beasts.
Seeing this group of people being suppressed and thrown onto the table, burying their heads in the food and gnawing like dogs, Akara suddenly took a breath of cold air and felt filled with regret.
……Such a waste.
Every ingredient in the food sold by the Life Church is very rare and expensive, and requires a lot of manpower and material resources to produce. Akara had previously learned in detail about the planting process and growth patterns of wheat out of curiosity about food. He knew very well how complicated and troublesome it would be to obtain these ingredients without the intervention of the wood mage.
Apart from the requirements for land, manpower and tools, it is also easily affected by weather and pests, and must be paid attention to at all times, otherwise you will lose everything. Such precious food was going to be wasted by a group of hungry prisoners... The Duke wrinkled his face in distress.
This scene like a vicious dog gnawing lasted for an unknown amount of time. One of the prisoners suddenly reached out and covered his throat and chest, and suddenly bent down.
The king suddenly slapped the case and said: "There is indeed a problem! Send people to surround the store quickly——"
Akara hesitated for a moment before asking: "...Did he choke on his food?"
The king choked momentarily.
The servant over there hurried forward to check what happened to the prisoner. He tried patting the prisoner on the back and finally got him to swallow the food.
The prisoner was indeed choked.
king:"……"
He became angry and said: "That's enough! Take them all down, observe them tonight, and report them if there is anything wrong!"
Akara thought his cousin was a bit silly.
Because of this thought, he quickly looked away to avoid anyone seeing his thoughts. His acting skills were not up to par, but fortunately not many people paid attention to him at this time.
Not long after the prisoners were taken down, news came that one prisoner was in great pain and even started to vomit.
The king was immediately very concerned and went to see the prisoner late at night, thinking that he had finally caught the magician's hand. However, when he arrived, he heard the medicine man say: "I am much hungrier than usual, and I suddenly ate and drank so much. My stomach is bloated, so it hurts.”
The king retreated silently.
About an hour later, the king received another report. This time, he heard that everyone began to have vomiting and diarrhea and had adverse reactions. Because of the face he had lost before, he was already a bit competitive at this time, so when he heard that something had gone wrong, he was not angry but happy. He felt that he had guessed right, and the magician had bad intentions. came back!
...After the results arrived, it was discovered that the prisoner had diarrhea because he had left the clear soup with too little water for too long and suddenly ate greasy food.
When the king heard this diagnosis, he was immediately very angry: "Are you sure!? Just now it was said to be bloating, and now it is said to be diarrhea. How can there be so many strange excuses!? Aren't you bribed by those magicians!?"
The pharmacist was immediately frightened and quickly knelt down to defend himself. He changed his mind and said that it must be the magicians who cast the spell.
Seeing his reaction, the king calmed down. After a moment of silence, he said, "Go and treat them... We'll see what happens tomorrow."
The pharmacist was thinking a lot, wondering what the king meant. He wanted to mix some medicine to poison these prisoners, but he didn't have the courage. In the end, he just mixed some non-toxic herbs and left them to fend for themselves.
But this group of prisoners is obviously quite lucky. When the king woke up the next day, they were still alive and well, even overcoming their gastrointestinal discomfort.
The king was helpless, but his cousin was unscrupulous. It is said that he went back last night and directly enjoyed a bunch of snacks and delicacies produced by the mage. Not only did he eat it himself, but he also invited others to eat it. There were also many people in the city who couldn't resist the temptation and bought food sold in restaurants. So far, there has been no news of anyone getting into trouble.
But the king still refused to easily believe that there was nothing wrong with the mage's things.
This suspicion lasted for a long time, until many people in the nobles ate the snacks in the store, and even commoners tried it, and many nobles even started planting wheat and other edible plants, the king reluctantly Under the warm invitation of my cousin, I reluctantly tried a bite.
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"
The king reluctantly said: "...It's just so-so."
But not long after, Akara discovered that wheat and other plants began to be grown on the king's farm.
The promotion of food is fast, but the promotion of seeds and planting is slow. It’s not that they can’t do it quickly, it’s just that their ultimate goal is not just to promote the cultivation of wheat, but to use a relatively high profile to make people cry and beg to grow these things, and to make profits as a result. Therefore, the means of promotion are worth pondering and paying attention to. .
Fortunately, the results are satisfactory.
After a period of time, Yin Lian successfully promoted wheat and some major food crops, and made the nobles of various countries become more particular about their diet.
The first batch of products promoted were wheat products, and the main ingredients were eggs and milk. Other spices and the like are shipped directly from the Capital of Sages.
The first batch of delicacies are mainly divided into several categories, including fruit bread with various local fruits, bacon bread and ham bread with animal meat, various pancakes, and several cakes with simple cooking methods. , as well as pizza, burgers and more.
Ale was also brewed, but was not very popular at first. On the other hand, simply brewed fruit juices, fruit vinegars and fruit wines are quite popular. Martier has almost no habit of raising poultry and livestock. Yin Lian can only select a group of herbivores and omnivores from local species that are more suitable for domestication, and try to domesticate them. Although there are some twists and turns, fortunately, they can all be domesticated. solve.
At least the supply of poultry eggs is finally stable.
Potato products and fried products are also popular categories. Grate the potatoes, add some seasonings, coat them in wheat flour and fry them, then dip them in a layer of bread crumbs to make simple oiled potato balls. Mix the flour with sugar and egg milk and fry them. donuts, potato strips that are filtered and then left to rest in an ice cellar for a period of time before being fried into French fries...everything is a simple and delicious convenience food.
This batch is mostly based on Western recipes, which has nothing to do with taste, but mainly because they are easy to make. Martyr does not have a very mature food culture. Even the simplest British or American food is complex enough for them to operate. The extremely particular cooking methods such as Chinese food or French food are forcibly brought here. On the contrary, it is self-defeating.
But it’s not like Yin Lian didn’t bring some Chinese food over at all.
She brought over various dishes for cooking poultry eggs, such as salted eggs made with salt and mud, tea eggs stewed with tea leaves and soy sauce, which can be simply prepared with just seasonings, eggs and water. Custard.
And a variety of cold dishes. For example, otherworldly versions of cold noodles, cold noodles, and cold dishes.
Yin Lian tried common sense and tried making spring rolls and steamed dumplings, but the chef's were completely unsatisfactory, and she didn't have much time for them to practice, so she gave up immediately.
But even with the recipes currently being promoted, the results are gratifying. In the spring of this year, the royal capitals of several major countries in the continent began to promote and plant wheat. Even small countries that had not been publicized began to imitate it and actively purchased seeds and technology from the Magic Association. Although not many people may have noticed, and no one consciously realized the significance of the whole thing, many people did feel that this year, there were more places that needed manpower, and there were more ways to obtain food. . As long as you work hard, you can always find a job that can fill your stomach half full.
After a period of training, Naqi finally got a job as a handyman in the store.
Although Ms. Believer said she would be allowed to participate in the training, in fact, things were not as simple as Naqi imagined. In the end, she studied hard and passed five levels to win the spot.
The content of the training is very complex, including various methods of dealing with customers, promoting products, and even protecting yourself. In addition to this, there are many regulations to memorize, information about dishes and ingredients, menus and prices, etc., and this is not all, just the initial course.
Fortunately, she was smart enough to stand out in her studies, beat other competitors, and grabbed this spot.
Even after she started working officially, she still had to go to the manor regularly for training. But even so, she didn't feel tired at all. Instead, she was full of expectations for everything.
She has never been so happy and optimistic about the future in her life.
After welcoming a group of guests, she heard a female guest nearby say: "Did you know? "The Wizard King" is going to auction a batch of costumes!"
