Chapter 182 182. Magic Food Shop, Mermaid Awakens
“The power of water rays can also bypass the power of the Mother Earth.”
Chloe looked at the completed one and should be able to name it Nodding with satisfaction for the special magic plant of "Shui Yao Barley".
Next, it’s time to test the effect of this magic plant. If the effect of this magic plant is good, we will start planting it in batches.
Also, I need to cultivate the spirituality of this barley so that it can learn the knowledge of canning, so that the magic energy channel can be passed on.
Thinking about what he should do next, he handed the completed barley to his subordinates and ordered them to make bread.
With his request, of course the cooks did not dare to neglect it.
They got busy and made a plate of blue-colored bread overnight and delivered it to Croya.
To be honest...it looks really unappetizing. It looks like it was made by a child with plasticine. It's really weird.
But this thing was researched by himself after all, and of course Croya wanted to taste it.
He picked up a piece of bread and put it in his mouth to chew, his frown unfurling as he chewed.
The taste... is unexpectedly good.
It still retains the texture and taste of Poseidon barley, which is sweet and soft, but it also has a strange refreshing taste inside.
When you chew, you can even feel that you are chewing a ball of water... and it is also a ball of ice water.
After chewing and swallowing, this cool feeling will spread in the stomach and gradually spread into the body - this is the power of Shui Yao Zhi.
If Croya is not mistaken, although this power of water rays can enhance physical fitness, it does not increase the perception of magic power.
Because the power of water sun is not theoretically a power that can be controlled, even Croya can only use the power of water sun now and cannot completely control it.
"If so..."
He looked at the Poseidon Barley that had not been transformed, and followed the previous steps to transform them using the pure magic power of the ethereal world.
This time... it went very wrong.
The curse of the Mother Earth is obviously much more resistant to magic than the power of the water sun.
But fortunately, Croya was always there to help with the treatment, and the magic power of the ethereal world was very special, so it was finally successful.
After the magic transformation of the etheric realm, the rice turned into a translucent light purple, which at least looked more appetizing than the clear blue.
He immediately handed the barley that had been transformed by the pure magic power of the etheric realm to the cooks and ordered them to continue making bread.
The bread made the second time was very good, very close to the effect Croya expected.
After eating it, the pure magic power contained in the bread slowly affects the body, and even increases the perception of magic power.
Although there are not many, there are indeed some.
"This is not bad. If you eat this kind of barley for a long time, it should be able to improve your perception of magic... Well, wait."
He suddenly had a very bold idea, and immediately He took out several bottles of Hailingzhi magic potion and ordered his cooks to use the potion as water to knead noodles and make bread.
Only he would try this extravagant approach.
The third batch of bread was delivered quickly, and this time the bread looked even stranger. The lavender bread had blue stripes like ocean waves inside.
It looks pretty at first glance.
"It looks good, but I don't know how it tastes..."
After tasting it, his eyes lit up and he called a mage apprentice and ordered him to eat a piece of bread.
The unknown apprentice was a little dazed when he was called over in the middle of the night, but after eating these breads, he immediately became energetic.
He said in an excited tone:
"Sir! I feel the magic power in my body is stirring... It seems that I have a clearer perception of the magic power outside.
And I His mind has become so clear.”
The young apprentice licked his lips. This feeling of being so clear-headed made him want to go back and learn magic spells immediately. If he learns it now, he will definitely be able to memorize more. knowledge.
After listening to the apprentice's description, Croya's expression became more cheerful. Although this kind of bread had little effect on him, it would be good if it was useful to the apprentice.
He waved his hand generously:
"Then take two yuan back."
"Thank you, sir!"
The apprentice immediately thanked him profusely and took the Bread ran back in a hurry. As for how to study hard while chewing bread after running back, that is his own business.
While Croya stared at these breads, he suddenly thought of a very good way to make money-food.
He deeply understood that as noble mages, they had high requirements for food. When he was in the royal capital, he had seen too many mages getting angry for food.
He wants to send someone to follow Estner back and open a shop selling special food in the royal capital.
As we all know, anything involving magic is almost a huge profit. Now that he has this ability, of course he wants a share of the pie, and he can also establish his own influence in the royal capital.
But if this kind of bread is not enough, more is needed.
……
After some thinking.
He thought that since the potion could be used as water to make bread, then... the morning dew potion could also be used.
He immediately set out to try it, and it turned out to be a success. Two different types of bread were placed in front of him.
The first is the "Hai Ling Bread" mixed with the magic potion of Hai Lingzhi, and the second is the "Morning Dew Bread" that he made by imprinting the magic power of sunfire on barley.
One of the two kinds of bread is purple with a little blue wave lines, and the other is golden like the morning sun, mixed with a magnificent red like burning clouds.
They all look good. At least when you take them out, people will know they are magical creations. This is a status symbol for nobles and some mages.
In a sense, they are no different from birds who like shiny things.
The functions of the two are also completely different.
After eating Hailing Bread, your ability to perceive magic will increase, and your brain and spirit will become extremely clear.
After eating Chaolu bread, it can slowly regulate the body, heal some hidden injuries, and even have the effect of slightly increasing vitality.
The former is naturally aimed at magicians, while the latter tends to be geared towards fighting professions such as warrior knights and nobles who do not know magic. They cherish their lives the most.
After completing the production and tasting it himself, he immediately decided to use these two kinds of bread as the core selling points.
Noodles are the most popular and everlasting. A good kind of noodles is the characteristic and foundation of a store.
As for the more advanced ones, he took the honey brewed by bees from sunflower nectar, baked it and made honey bread.
The golden honey of the sunflower is poured on the equally golden bread, forming a halo like a sunrise, shining lightly and exuding a sweet fragrance.
He tried it and found that the bread tasted very sweet and had the warm feeling of eating sunlight into his mouth, as if he was soaked in the sea of honey from sunflowers.
Honestly, it’s really pretty good.
It's pretty good except...a little too sweet.
Cloya doesn’t know why people in this world are so fond of sweets, but the fact is that the memories of the original owner in the royal capital, those desserts and cakes are extremely sweet.
No matter how high-end the dessert is... he needs to find someone to make it. Although he knows a series of desserts such as tiramisu and black forest cake, he has no idea how to make it.
After the bread and advanced versions of the bread were completed, he began to think about drinks.
The common drink in this world is actually coffee, but that coffee is very bitter, bitter coffee without any flavoring at all.
After tasting this kind of coffee once, Croya almost spit it out. The taste was so bitter that it was hard to describe, and he really couldn't drink it.
It is said that some nobles drink a cup of bitter coffee in the morning... He can't imagine what it would be like to drink this kind of thing in the morning.
So what he planned to make was naturally milk tea.
Milk tea is an enduring thing everywhere. The dopamine satisfaction brought by the sweetness is the fundamental reason why many people pursue milk tea.
Since people in this world like to eat sweets so much, don’t blame them for coming up with a killer weapon like milk tea.
He already had experience making milk tea before, and now he only needs a little processing. There are even many types of milk tea that can be made.
For example, basic milk tea with soothing lily of the valley and sunflower nectar, coconut milk tea made with soothing lily of the valley and coconut milk, pearl milk tea made with sweet potato starch...
He even thought about it briefly and found that there were really many types of milk tea that he could make.
If coupled with his unique magic blending technique, the effect of these milk teas is not even much worse than magic potions.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
Then I couldn’t wait to start trying. Because of his order, even the mage apprentices who were sleeping began to get busy, and the underground laboratory was filled with a sweet smell.
With the help of the magician, the finished products were sent to Croya's laboratory cup after cup for him to taste.
He looked at his table full of milk tea, and rubbed his belly again. Fortunately, the muscles were still tight and obvious muscles could be seen.
He began to taste one cup after another. In the end, it was so sweet that he felt that his sense of taste was a little lost, so he decided on the first few to sell.
They are the regular version, the version mixed with sea reishi potion, the version mixed with morning dew potion, and pearl milk tea.
These three are enough at the beginning, and then slowly introduce new products, which can give people a continuous sense of freshness and stimulate people to buy.
After identifying these three milk teas, he tried every means to start optimizing them.
The optimization of milk tea is nothing more than raw materials, such as the ratio of sea ganoderma potion and morning dew potion, the output of milk source, and the type of tea.
Unfortunately, the only tea that Croa can use to make is Soothing Lily of the Valley.
In fact, in addition to coffee, there are also some tea drinks in this world, mainly black tea, which is mixed with milk and sugar.
Of course there is also a magic plant version of black tea tea tree.
But that kind of thing is really only available at the Archmage level. It seems very difficult for a tea tree to become a magic plant, so much so that the magic tea leaves are much more valuable than gold coins.
It is not something he can consider for the time being.
......
The next day, Croya, who had been busy all night, brought the finished product he had prepared to the table as breakfast for Estner to taste.
The latter looked puzzled. After looking at Croya, he began to taste it, and his eyes lit up after tasting it.
“Not bad!”
He praised: "These things taste very good, especially this tea. Is there any Hailingzhi magic potion added to it?"
He was referring to Lan Yingying's cup of Hailing milk tea.
"Yes." Croya didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "If these kinds of things were sold in the royal capital, do you think anyone would spend money to buy them?"
" "There must be."
Estner replied without hesitation: "The sales of this kind of magical food will definitely be good in the capital, especially the tea made by you, it tastes really good. . ”
Generally speaking, those who like farming will also have some requirements for food. Estner fell into this category. He bought too much food from the Versailles Hall in the royal capital.
The things there can sell flour for the price of magic crystals. Although the taste is quite good, the price is also really high. Even he can't afford it.
"Then how do you think the price should be determined?"
It is rare to have such a person who is familiar with the king. Of course, Croya must seize this opportunity and ask carefully.
“Isn’t this simple? One magic crystal for one cup, one magic crystal for one.”
"Huh?"
Although Croya also felt that these things were worth the price, he never thought of setting such a high price. After all, things like magic crystal...
Even It turned out that he had only saved twenty yuan for so long. Is it too expensive for a cheap product?
“You can even sell a bottle of magic potion for a piece of magic crystal. Can’t you sell something like this that has been carefully processed?”
“Besides, the more expensive you price it, the more people will buy it.”
"Is that so? Hehe, thank you very much." Croya immediately figured out the relationship and smiled: "You really helped me a lot."
" When my store opens, how about I give you 20% of the shares? "
His plan was not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but had been planned for a long time.
After all, I cannot stay in the capital for a long time. If there is any problem, it will definitely be very troublesome to deal with it.
But it would be different if Estner was taking care of him. He himself is a battle mage of the Mage Association, and he also has an archmage as a mentor.
With him here, at least a lot of troubles will be reduced. If he has time to deal with these troubles, he can earn back the profits he gave up.
Obviously Estner also knew what Croya meant.
He thought about it for a while and then agreed directly. To be honest, he was very optimistic about the development of Croya, and it was a good thing to invest in it early.
The most important thing is that he really likes Cloya's chatting with each other. It is rare for him to have a friend who can enjoy the conversation.
"I will take care of it for you, and I will also help you find the location of the store. When do you plan to send someone there?"
"When you leave, transportation of raw materials I will do it through the channels of the Shengquan Chamber of Commerce and sell it in limited quantities every day.”
“It’s a limited quantity, it’s pretty good. This is the first one in the capital.”
"Well...I'll leave in a few days."
"Huh? Why are you in such a hurry? I'm not in a hurry to open the store."
"Although you are very comfortable here. , But I still have to rush back, I'm worried that something might happen." Estner's expression suddenly became serious.
"...Okay."
Since everyone said so, Croya really had no reason to stop him, so he nodded.
"I will send someone to leave with you."
"Okay."
The conversation between the two in this regard has come to an end for the time being.
In the following period, Cloya took Estner to visit all his fields except for a few locations that cannot be known to outsiders.
After five days, Estner said goodbye.
After Croya prepared a bunch of treasures from the sea for him, he personally sent him and a group of apprentices he arranged to leave.
These apprentices, led by the original apprentice Jamie, went to the royal capital thousands of miles away to carry out Croya's first external expansion.
After sending away these apprentices, Croya began his own expansion and development. He planted all the vacant areas on Hanjiao Island with magic plants.
The sources of these magic plants were brought back from outside by the apprentices, or they were obtained from transactions with other lords one after another.
At the same time, he also began to try to use grapes from the Magic Field grape vine to make wine. As expected, his magic power was the catalyst.
In the midst of such busyness, the wind and snow outside actually showed signs of stopping, gradually weakening from violent violence.
He felt that the magic flow surrounding the entire ocean and the north was weakening.
Obviously the wind and snow would not last long.
After discovering this, he felt inexplicably nervous. Both the angel and the Orpheus Oak had warned him before about what the mermaids would do after the wind and snow stopped.
He began to strengthen his symphony.
During this period, the magic power of the greedy demon brought back one after another by the apprentices and holy knights was also of great help to him.
The exploration of the paradise of gluttony continues.
Everything is developing in a good direction.
Another half month passed, when he was communicating with Estner about the store in Wangdu.
The crystal card of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce flashed.
After checking it, he found that it was the messages from the Pit Lord and the Gray Sand Lord, and he was a little surprised.
Aren’t these two people being hunted down by a seventh-level mage?
Chloë was just about to see what news they had given him, when he suddenly felt something and immediately left his laboratory.
He stood on the terrace garden of the castle, looking seriously into the depths of the ocean.
I saw a large blue tree suddenly appearing in the azure sea. It was so tall that it seemed to cover the sky and the earth, emitting countless light particles towards the surrounding sea. Every now and then.
The currents of the ocean and the moonlight falling in the sky converge towards it, like forming two very special haloes for the big tree.
At the same time, the singing of mermaids resounded throughout the sea.
Even the light of the sun is blocked by such a miracle, and all that can be seen is this miraculous scenery.
But... its light formed an extremely huge light shield, covering the entire ocean, including Hanjiao Island where Croya was located.
Outside of the light mask, no one can see what is happening inside.
Thanks to Tianxia Taiping, Misaka Sister 20001, and Penguin Tang Fei for their monthly tickets and recommendation votes. I am grateful~
A new plot will be released tomorrow, I need to think about it...
