forest kingdom

Autumn is the time when all kinds of materials are most abundant, and it is also the season when it is easiest to gain weight.

At night, a group of witches and a young man are conducting secret activities!
It turned out that Lawrence and his family were busy in the kitchen developing new foods.

The kitchen is not big, and Salil is bending over to wipe the pot with a piece of cloth.

While Kehalan and Delen went outside to pick garlic seedlings, Lawrence reached out and spanked Salil on the butt.

Snapped!
Sariel stood up slowly, frowned and looked at Lawrence angrily, "Why did you spank me?"

Lawrence smiled and reached out again, hitting Sariel's butt directly to spank her again.

Salil directly raised her leg to block it with the side of her leg, and then kicked Lawrence in the stomach.

Lawrence quickly retreated and hid, and said quickly: "It's okay! It's okay! It's important to cook!"

Salil also felt that cooking was important and reminded: "If this happens next time, I will really fight back!"

"Oh oh oh." Lawrence could only respond obediently.

Sophia on the side looked at Lawrence, then at Salil, then quickly picked up the ball of cloth and bent down.

"Salil, let me help you clean the pot together."

"Okay, Sophia is better!" Salil was very happy. There was only one bad guy like Lawrence who was looking for trouble.

Lawrence saw Sofia deliberately twisting her butt in front of him. Although he didn't want to spank her, seeing that Sofia was so active, how could he ignore her?

Just as he was about to go over and give her a small reward, Salil stood up and stared at Lawrence with warning eyes.

"Well, cooking is important." Lawrence quickly walked away with a serious look and started preparing to cook.

Kharan and Delen cut some garlic seedlings and brought them over, and Lathander also brought down some sterilized eggs.

Lawrence said quickly: "It's almost ready, Sariel, chop the garlic sprouts."

"Okay." Salil picked up the kitchen knife and started to chop the garlic sprouts.

Lawrence added salt and seasonings to the flour, and added some water and stirred evenly.

Salil has been watching Lawrence's movements. It is obvious that today is not making bread, but another simple and delicious food.

Lawrence will tell you what it will be after it is done.

Lawrence quickly stirred the flour and water into a fine batter, then set it aside to rise.

The iron pot had been cleaned, Lawrence prepared a plate, knife and chopsticks, and washed a spatula.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Lawrence added water to the batter and stirred it to make a more delicate thin batter.

"Eggs." Lawrence held out his hand.

Sofia handed over an egg, and after Lawrence broke the eggs into the thin batter, she handed over another one.

After beating four eggs in a row, Lawrence started to stir. After stirring, he added the crushed garlic sprouts.

Salil brushed a layer of oil on the iron pot and couldn't help but said: "Isn't this just enough to eat?"

Lawrence ignored Sariel and quickly poured the batter into the pan with a spoon and spread it evenly, then controlled it with a spatula.

Because there is no pan prepared, it is more difficult to control the heat when spreading pancakes in this large pan.

"The fire is a little smaller," Lawrence said softly.

The flames quickly died down.

The batter in the oil pan quickly turned golden yellow and exuded an appetizing hot aroma.

Lawrence quickly used a spatula to transfer one pan of pancakes to the plate, then moved on to the second pan.Several witches gathered near the plate and looked at the large pancakes on the plate.

The golden, delicate, soft and moist pancakes are more attractive than bread in terms of appearance and color.

"How do you want to eat this?" Delen was confused for a moment.

Lawrence said: "You can eat it directly, or you can use chopsticks to pick it up, or you can cut it into several slices with a knife and eat it separately, and eat it with chopsticks."

Delen still didn't know how, and said to Lawrence: "Eat one and let's see."

Lawrence stood up helplessly. While spreading the pancake, he cut the round pancake into four pieces with a knife in one hand, then rolled up a piece of pancake with chopsticks in one hand, put it to his mouth and took a small bite.

so hot...

Lawrence quickly put down the hot pancakes and said, "Just eat it."

The witches soon understood.

This kind of fresh pancakes, which are more delicious the hotter they are, are very suitable for the taste of witches.

Just like an iron stove needs hot air, witches generally like hot food that is higher than their own body temperature, but they often do not have this condition. Most people in this era eat cold food.

Even kings eat cold food at many banquets and large occasions.

The witches themselves don't like cooking very much, so most of the time they just eat fruits and dry food.

Soon, with the supplement of delicious nutrition, the witches who played cards until midnight fell into a contented sleep.

The next day, Salil and Sophia began to teach Amarble and others the skills and tell them how to spread pancakes.

Sofia asked the two maids seriously: "From now on, the bread can be reduced every morning, and there should be egg pancakes every day!"

"I don't need to eat bread, but there must be egg pancakes!" Sofia warned again.

Emma took a bite of the greasy and soft pancakes and soon fell in love with this food that was more delicious than bread.

"Yes, Lady Sofia, I will prepare these egg pancakes early."

The maid must also eat what the master eats. Emma and Bull both like this delicious food.

Bull has been relatively poor since he was a child, his living standard is much worse than that of Salil and Emma, ​​and his thoughts are also different.

"Ms. Sophia, making pancakes requires a lot of oil. If we don't kill pigs this year, we can only use mutton oil and whale oil, but these are not suitable."

There is very little sheep oil, and whale oil and other fish oils are not tasty and are mainly used as fuel.

Salil said: "It doesn't matter, just buy some pigs from outside."

Salil, who holds the power of the family's finances, knows the relevant matters very clearly, "Emma tells Ai Ali that when businessmen come over again, let her spend money to buy some lard from the businessmen."

"Lard can be stored for a long time. It is enough to buy it twice a year. Buy three barrels first. If you don't finish it, you can share it with others."

Emma said: "Okay, I'll ride a sheep to the town at noon."

Lawrence soon sat in the restaurant and waited for his meal, without saying anything about the arrangements made by Salil and others.

Saliel's approach gave Lawrence a new way of thinking.

"Perhaps we can gather more adventurers, navigators, merchants and craftsmen by issuing tasks, or through procurement and rewards."

"Although it is very cold here and is not suitable for farming, we can open casinos, weapons shops, shipyards, factories, restaurants, pubs, pawn shops, banks and other consumer places."

Gambling and drinking were things that could not be forbidden, especially for robbers and pirates who wanted to make quick money.

Rather than letting others earn this money, it’s better to earn it yourself!
Unable to develop agriculture and animal husbandry on a large scale, Lawrence decided to build high-end consumption places specifically to earn money from those robber barons. (End of chapter)
