Apprentice Alchemist Bakes Bread - Relaxed Collection and Forest Workshop Life

"Iris, what are you going to do with this jade lemon? Can we just leave it in the vault?

"Oh, I'll use that now, so please go to the kitchen!

Roger that.

Lulusu-kun goes to the kitchen with a tote-toe-toe-toe-toe and a little slow-eyed footsteps.

"Lulusu-kun, watch your step!

"Nyah."

"I'll hold you back ~"

Maybe that one, the jade lemon cage I held is too big to be seen much before. Usually the light footsteps of "tot tot tot tot" would be proof of that.

"Oh, there it is! Yikes... and!

I pulled what I was looking for out of Nado, which is surrounded by various vaults, equipment I don't use much, etc.

Let's make a (...) re (...) while Mr. Letterio is in the bath!

"Let's make the usual summer jade lemonade."

"I washed the lemon."

"I could also handle two shiatsu ~"

"Thank you both! The rest is easy now, so watch."

First cut the sweet white balls lemon into rings. Then I also cut regular egg lemons into rings, and this one is for pickling honey.

"Next, install this..."

On the iron frame assembled at the wall, place a glass drink server and pour water.

It would be very helpful to have the Water Contract Spirit (Undine) here, but I have to go back and forth through the faucet in a large pot because I'm not here right now. I think this is the hardest part of making jade lemonade this year!

"Phew."

"This is next, isn't it?

Lulusu-kun offered me a bowl with ingredients.

"Thank you! Then I'll throw in the white jade lemon! Thin loads are chopped... I think I'll add a little sunflower."

It doesn't have a potion effect because I added sun wheel grass, but if it's just a thin load, it's going to taste like something's missing, and let's put it in.

"Then at the end...... Hmm - how much shall we put in?

What I had in my hand was a honey pickled egg lemon from the making.

It is always available because it can be used in a variety of ways such as on bread, treats, dressing and sauces.

I usually add jade lemon (saitama) and light (mint), ravioli (rabbit), and honey, but today the main thing is sweet white jade lemon, so I make it not just honey, but jade lemon honey pickle.

Not only is it sweet, but it has a bit of bitterness and lemon acidity that I'm sure is just right.

"Once mixed with Guru, embed the Ice Demon Stone in the finish..."

Along with the sound of kachi, the smelting formation of the 'cooling effect', which had been carved into the vitreous container, emitted a pale light.

"Ok! I can make white jade lemonade (shiitake lemon rinse)!

"I've never seen a white jade lemon before!

"Heh - can I taste it? Hey, Iris, even if you put soda stones in this, it sounds like fun."

"Yes, go ahead. Lulusu-kun, do you have a soda stone?

"I have it! Hmm...... this is sweet but refreshing and yummy! Nha Nha ~ Midsummer in the cold lemonade of Shwa shwa... it looks absolutely delicious."

Lulusu-kun looks up at me chilling.

"That's right...... Lulusu, can you cheapen me up?

"Sure!

♦ ︎

"Ah, delicious. Wow, this is good."

Mr. Letterio rings his throat in hot white balls of lemonade.

"I make it every year from the time it gets hot. In the summer, the water is warmer, making ice is tricky, and it melts."

Oh, maybe we should coat the ice, too? That, could a coating do quite a lot of things as long as you can afford magic?

"Iris, do you make this vitreous container in this city? Or is it made by an alchemist?"

"The workshop I built is a vitreous workshop in Venetos, but it feels like a collaboration between a teacher and an artisan."

"Heh... then Iris can't work with that workshop to make this either? I was hoping you might want my team."

"Eh."

"I'd be pretty grateful if I had this during my summer training...... how about that?

I know the smelting formation of cooling. I know my parents at the vitreous factory, so I can place an order.

But - I'm not sure I can honestly make it.

Sure, Dr. Irina said that even apprenticeships could carve this formation, but it wasn't until The Water Bottle of Condition Retention that we could make it then.

I think it was difficult to unevenly anchor the changing material called vitreous, its size, and the effect of "keeping it cool" rather than "keeping it in a state".

"Hey, it could be difficult..."

"I wish I could try"

Lulusu-kun tells him to put his beard in his hand with the lemonade instead (which he was pouring with his back stretch).

"I think Lurus can do Iris and I (...) G (...) D (...) S (...), right?

"Me too ~?

"Ignis too...? Oh, shit! Flames when making vitreous......!

"Alchemy works with contract spirits."

Yes. The contract spirit is not a convenient helper, etc., but I (...) self (...) myself (...) made by the contract.

The power of the Spirit is not enough. If we work together, we'll multiply it.

"So Iris, can we order this as well as portable food?

"Yes! I'll talk to the vitreous workshop and get a quote!

"By the way, how many labyrinth expeditions are there?

Mobile food list to be ordered on hand.

First, I was going to ask the deputy captain, Letterio, to try it out, and then I was going to talk to the captain, and he just said, "If you think Letterio's good, you can make a decision".

"There are 15 crew members, one squad for four, two shifts, uh... the maximum number of people diving into the labyrinth is eight. Usually four."

"Surprisingly few, huh? How many days is exploration?

"I guess labyrinth exploration is basically about 3-1 week unless it's massive once a week. It's not just about exploring, it's also about security and vigilance in the labyrinth, so sometimes you go on a day trip through shallow layers."

"Then the basic portable meal is for at least 4 people in a set of 9 meals...... do you also need spares?

"I wonder if it would be appreciated if it did. But I think it's cruel to ask Iris to have all the portable food from the beginning, so I'll start with a set of 9 meals for 4 people twice a month...... 72 meals. How about that?

There were fewer expeditions than I thought, but still quite a few.

"How long can I have a prep period? And how long before the expedition?

"That's right - at least a week for this labyrinth mutation investigation and safety check...... because of the portable food dedication to the Marquis Venesti and the budget consultation...... is the official order about a month from now? Delivery is by the day before unless it is a massive exploration. You think you can do that?"

"It's a month to get ready, right? There seems to be no problem saving the condition until the day before delivery."

"Lek, you're going to give me a contract before I place an official order, right?

Lulusu-kun stands pinned and ears, staring at Mr. Letterio and saying.

That's the merchant. Sure enough, I can't just make promises - I can't make portable food smaller and lighter or more varied.

"Of course. He's a deputy captain for once, and he's got a personal seal, so it works for my signature. Oh, I'd rather have a spiritual fraternity contract than write a single piece of paper like this before?

"No, an ordinary contract is fine. But, um... when can I get my first price...? Actually, I don't have much money in the workshop..."

Yes, it is. I have trouble with the bread at all costs, so there is no cost of materials for the initial delivery of 36 meals.

"I'll pay you in advance. I wonder how long it will be enough..."

"I'll leave it to Luluz to calculate! The contract is just an important promise, right? Yeah, that's what Lurus makes. Ignis - I need you to broil some paper for me!

"Pleasant ~ ~"

Oh, I see. Do you broil like a 'splinter'? And indirectly, but also with the power of Ignis - a warrior! I don't even want to go as far as an amicable agreement, but I'm sure that's what you're making me mean.

"Lulusu-kun is reliable. Right, Iris?"

"That's right...... Oh, Mr. Letterio, would you like to replace the lemonade? Actually, I just bought a soda stone from Lulusu-kun, so you can make it into a lemonade soda!

"Wow, that's the Ketsey Merchant! You're a good businessman..."
