Magicraft Meister Part 3

After a few moments, the villagers, who had frozen in surprise, came to their senses.

"......Well, it's Jin-dono. ......"

Jin began to explain, thinking that it had been a while since he had heard that phrase.

"I think we can make a high value-added craft using this wood."

"Hmm."

"For example, you can make a spoon out of these scraps of wood. ><><><>"

"Oh, oh?"

Three wooden spoons were made in an instant.

"I used engineering magic this time, but you could have shaved them by hand."

Jin said, "You can also paint the spoons with paint since they absorb water.

I had some left over from taking the spoon off,

"<>"

Jin made a small sculpture. It is in the shape of a small bird.

"Where I come from, we call it a . It's a kind of accessory, a mascot.

"Oh, this is nice."

Sergei said. "If you attach it to your personal belongings, it can be both an accessory and a marker," Sergei said.

"Yes, that's right. In that case, it would be better to make it so that no two are alike.

"I see."

"Now all we have to do is ......<><>"

"Oh?"

Jin now uses another piece of wood to create a statue about 30 centimeters high.

The image is the one that remains in Jin's memory.

The details are hazy, though,

"It's somewhat mysterious, isn't it?

said Katya, who looked into the statue, "It seems to be well done.

"I see, with something this size, you can make quite a few if you cut one out.

Sergei, the village head, seemed to understand what Jin meant.

"Then we can make small boxes out of these thin sheets. Of course, the box will be engraved.

"Hmmm. Anyway, we can make something small with high added value. Thank you, Mr. Jin, that's very helpful.

"You're welcome."

Anyway, Jin was happy to know that this Tajee village now had one more way to earn foreign currency.

It was a little past noon.

The group hurried back to the village chief's house.

"I'm sorry, Jin-san.

Helga, our guide, apologized in the kitchen. He had been thinking of making a round of the village just before noon.

"No, it's okay."

Jin answered while looking at Helga's hand.

The reason for the delay, Jin thought, was that he had been cutting down the tree.

Helga then said,

"I had a little time to spare," he says.

Helga says, "I had a little bit of leeway.

"You have to be able to afford it," he says.

Jin's tongue was still tied behind his back, but he knew that not just anyone could do that.

"Helga has always been very considerate like that.

KaChea also praised Helga.

Helga does not stop her hand while she talks.

"Yes, that's good.

"Yes, that's good." "Okay."

What she is doing is baking pancakes.

This is actually one of the souvenirs Jin brought.

He brought a large amount of Horai Island's , because he wanted something that would last for a long time and be enjoyed by many people.

Flour from Horai Island is mixed with a small amount of baking soda from Kaina Village as an expander, and a little sugar is added.

Mix it with water or milk, knead it, and cook it in a frying pan, and you have a simple pancake.

Of course, there are a few tricks.

Flour contains a protein called gluten, so don't stir the batter too much, because if you knead it too much, it will become sticky and not fluffy enough.

This is similar to the trick to fry tempura batter quickly.

And do not make it too thick, because if you try to cook it too thick, the filling may remain raw.

Finally, the pan should be covered with a lid and heated slowly.

"Is this what you want?"

"Yes, yes, it's just like that."

With a few tricks, anyone can make this snack and snack.

"It's done!"

The dumplings are placed on a plate and cut with a knife.

"Yes, it's good.

"Yes, it's good." "That's good."

The dough is spread with butter and eaten with honey, molasses, or maple syrup, depending on your taste.

Maple syrup is scarce in Tazy village, so I used it this time.

"Bon appétit!

Helga was the first to put her fork in her mouth.

Her face contorted as if she was going to melt.

"Yummy!"

The dish eaten in the village of Tajee was a thin, baked crepe-like dough made of flour and coated with butter and honey.

No expanders were used.

The dough was well-kneaded, so it was too chewy and sticky instead of crunchy, which would have been a mismatch.

However, the < that Jin brought with him was something that anyone could make delicious pancakes if they followed certain procedures.

"There's still plenty left, so please share with everyone."

"Yes, thank you, Jin-san!

Helga, who was the first to finish her pancake, replied happily.

Her smile reminded me once again that delicious food makes people smile.

"About 200 kilograms or so."

Hope and Reiko are carrying 20 10-kilo bags of pancake mix.

"Thank you."

As the daughter of the village head, Helga is often in charge of organizing events and festivals.

She hoped to be able to serve these pancakes at such occasions.

They are easy to make and delicious.

"Milk?

"The corral will be ready soon, and then you can get it at ......."

"Oh, yes, that's right."

The future of Tajee Village is very promising, Jin thought.
