Candy Wizard and Travel

"I'm just sitting here. Is there any trouble to distract you?" Xidi closed the magic book in her hand and asked with concern.

"I was just wondering why you didn't call me this morning, and I was a little concerned."

"Well," Xi Di stood up with a slightly gloomy expression, "because it got cold suddenly today, I think you can sleep a little longer. In addition, I found that the cake I just made yesterday has disappeared. I think someone should Not hungry."

Fran's body froze in place, and if it was summer now, cold sweat would appear on her back.

A feeling more shuddering than low temperature emerged from the bottom of her heart, stimulating her sleepy brain. After waking up, she recalled her actions before going to bed last night.

The warm aroma of freshly baked cake spreads throughout the room, how can one resist it?After confirming that there was no light in the disciple's bedroom, she quietly turned on the light and swept away the desserts she had put away, and drank a cup of tea by the way.

No wonder I didn’t wake up hungry in the morning.

Don't panic, you are facing away from the disciple now, he can't see your expression, and there is still hope of hiding the past, such as... yes, mouse!There's a big rat!Although I don’t know what kind of mouse can open the magically frozen refrigerator, but those are all details.

"teacher--"

The disciple's voice appeared directly behind him, and he felt the heat of his breath on his neck.

"Where do you think those cakes went?"

Fran, motionless.

After about a long time, she said with difficulty:

"Um, Xiao Xidi, do you think lying or eating secretly are more abominable?"

"Now, I think it's just eating on the sly."

"The thief is a rat."

"..."

It’s not that the mouse is the teacher, right?

After a long time, there was a sigh from behind, and the disciple pressed his face against her back and said helplessly.

"Have you brushed your teeth?"

"Brushed."

……

Because of the purchase plan, Xidi decided to deal with the ingredients that could not be stored at home and make room for them to be stored together.

Lunch is steamed eggs and omelets, and with a slight twist, it’s chawanmushi and amare.

Peas, finely chopped carrots, onions and minced beef are added to the omelette, and finally a layer of slightly spicy sauce is applied. Some people like to put something in it, but Xidi prefers to eat it as a dish.

The chawanmushi on the steamer is almost the same. The teacher's portion was filled with shrimps to add a umami flavor, and his own was added with mushrooms. Finally, there was a bowl of vegetable soup.

Very light compared to the past.

"call--"

Holding the soup, Fran opened the window and exhaled. A piece of white smoke visible to the naked eye drifted away, and the cold wind poured in along her untied cuffs. She shivered from the cold and quickly retracted.

"Wow, if this keeps up, it won't freeze in a few days. It's going to be really cold this year."

"Be careful not to catch a cold," Xidi warned, then asked, "How were you in the past two years?"

Fran took a sip of the soup and recalled, "Well, it will probably take another half a month before I get up and use constant temperature magic. There have been a lot of them this year... The room below should also be treated with magic. The experimental animals are sick. It will affect the results."

When there were only two of us, the meal was casual. The witch, who found the wooden seats too cold, sat on the sofa, eating chawanmushi with a spoon, and looking at the empty sky.

"Speaking of which, does Xiao Xidi bring any seasonal clothes? I remember that your luggage doesn't seem to be too much."

"Not yet, I'm about to buy some." Xidi thought of this question almost at the same time as the teacher, "Where's Teacher Fran? Do you want to go together? I'm going to the market in the afternoon to buy a batch of ingredients."

He does know how to make clothes, but only in thin styles, such as the complicated overlapping lace ruffles on the dolls.

"Forget it, I have to receive pre-ordered animals in the afternoon, and the teacher is actually a little afraid of clothing stores. Every time I go there, he will recommend many styles for me to change. I feel more excited than me. Usually I don't sell any of them. Just left.”

Fran showed a helpless expression.

Xidi also has a deep understanding of this. When she was six or seven years old, when she went out to buy clothes, she was often pinched and manipulated by the female shop assistant, playing with her like a doll in the hands of Master Mal.

In short, take a look to see if there are any customized shops. It would be more convenient and worry-free. Just measure the size and tell your needs. If the craftsmanship is good, you can take the teacher with you next time.

Chapter 88: Hamster and knowledge

There are many magicians in Wangli Celestilia, so many that you can pick up anyone on the street who knows a trick or two.

Due to the self-restraint of magicians and some unspoken tacit understanding, they will not involve ordinary people. They usually engage in street performances, letter delivery, special cargo handling and other industries when they just graduate.

When they start a family and start a business, they will take on relatively stable and high-paying jobs such as guarding merchant ships and fishing boats, maintaining urban pipelines, etc.

In the end, there will inevitably appear, the magician who serves the magician.

Potions, experimental animals, magic props production... these industries are also very popular in this country.

Today, Xidi came into contact with another application of potion cultivation - off-season vegetables.

Hire ordinary people who are good at growing vegetables and work in greenhouses whose temperatures are adjusted by magic. Finally, you can get fresh vegetables and fruits that can be harvested in winter. The price is naturally a bit more expensive, but there is still no shortage of business, and even the shipment volume is It is calculated based on the box.

One box is almost half a week's consumption of Xi Di and Fran.

"Let's get ten boxes first. Please send them to the forest over there, yes, to the private property."

"Ms. Witch, this quantity is a bit large. If you are not proficient in freezing magic, we suggest that it is better to buy it in batches, so that you can enjoy the freshest flavor. Our store has sufficient supply."

"Thanks for the reminder, but I'm pretty good at it."

After communicating, Xidi drew a circle after the "vegetables" option on the notebook she carried.

Next are various meats and processed products, bacon, sausages, bacon and the like.

……

After exchanging a piece of gold into coins at the local association branch, Xidi continued her purchase plan with a pocket full of gold coins.

Flour, rice, seasonings…

Cross out each item in the notepad.

In the end, I successfully found a shop that was polite but not overly enthusiastic. I tailored the item to suit my needs. After getting a response that I would pick it up the next Monday, I left with the voucher.

The scheduled delivery time for the things I bought before was after three o'clock, so there was no need to rush back. After relaxing, Xidi walked around on the street.

Candied chestnuts were sold on the street. Remembering that she hadn't eaten them for a long time, Xidi bought some and ate them while shopping. The garbage was burned to ashes with fire magic.

This seaport city sells many things that cannot be seen in Chongqing Township, many of which even Xidi only knows about in books. When he sees the real objects, he will make a sound of surprise, sighing that the world is so big, no wonder there are so many things. So many travelers devote themselves to traveling.

The more common ones are strange-shaped fish, shrimps, turtles, etc. Most of the exotic plants look like they are dying. They are much deserted compared to the last time. For example, the seals we saw that time are gone. The tigers in cages, the color of their fur, etc. The fancy birds and deer were absent from the streets.

When passing by a deserted shop with chestnuts in her arms, Xidi vaguely caught a glimpse of the familiar light blond hair. She took two steps back and looked over. It was indeed Mikey, the freckle figure figure.

This store seems to sell some interior decoration sculptures, specimens, plaster statues and the like. It displays statues of various materials, from plants to animals. Xi Di doesn’t know much about these. If Marlai Yes, if you say no, you can make a professional evaluation.

Then, as if to blend in with this silent stone statue, the only living person was covered in plaster, half of his body.

"McGee?"

"Teacher Xidi——"

He was surprised to stand up from the wheelchair, but Xi Di quickly pushed him back with quick eyes and hands.

"What happened to you? Were you hit by a carriage?"

This hemiplegic appearance is really suspicious.

"Ahem, it's a long story. Family scandals should not be made public."

He covered his face in shame.

"Oh, then I'm leaving."

"Teacher, stay away and listen to me!"

He shook the wheelchair and tried to grab Hidi's legs, but was dodged.

"Just keep talking, don't move your hands or feet. Oh, you can't move your feet now." After taking two steps back slightly, keeping a safe distance, Xidi continued, "You can talk about it in detail."

"But it's so suffocating for me. I'm sitting in a wheelchair. My wand was confiscated. I threw it into the most deserted shop in my house to look at the shop. In the past four days, there haven't been many people who can talk. I can't say I've met anyone I know..."

He looked really excited.

"——But it's nice to skip class for a day." He looked relaxed.

Yes, I was the only one who asked for leave yesterday because of a broken bone.

Seeing his complacent expression of not wanting to make progress, Hidi silently told him the cruel reality.

"Now, actually, we all went out to play together yesterday, by the small lake in the woods over there."

"Go out—ah?"

The freckled boy's smile froze on his face.

"Go out to play?!"

he asked eagerly.

"'Everyone' refers to you and Teacher Fran, right? Did you take time off to go out to play?"

"No," Xidi shook her head, then continued, "Me, Teacher Fran, and the other 30 people in the class, 'all of us' rowed, fished, and made lunch together at the lake. The whole class was very happy. ,except you."

We had a great party and only one person wasn't invited.

It felt like his entire body had turned gray, blending in with the cast on his lower limbs.

"Don't be discouraged. There are still three years to go. With the teacher's character, there will always be a next time."

Because he was so pitiful, even Xidi couldn't help but say a few words to comfort him, but unfortunately it had no effect.

"It's so pitiful... not only did I have my leg broken by a sudden accident, but I also missed the group activities of the class. A strange and dark person like me will be excluded from the class bit by bit and become a completely transparent person second only to cockroaches. People..."

Xidi waved her hands, with a slightly flustered expression on her face.

"No, it's too much to say..."

"What a pity. At least let me see the beauty of those beautiful girls by the water with their clothes wet by the water——"

Xidi hit him on the head with a chestnut and turned around to leave.

"Drown in your fantasy."

"Don't go, don't go, don't go! At least listen to me!"

After returning back, Xidi's attitude was very casual. While cracking chestnut shells, she listened to classmate McGee's account of last weekend's drama experience.

"To put it simply, in order to improve his carving skills, my dad bought some exquisite works of art for viewing, and one of them was...well, a doll."

Dolls, some excellent puppet masters will carefully carve out some details. For example, Master Mal, her favorite doll requires finely polished eyeballs, nails and joints that also require very clever strength. These parts are connected. Xidi could only take action.

Of course the techniques for dolls and stone carvings are different, but who knows how they study them.

"Then, on Saturday, while my mother and her friends were out shopping, my father took out the doll and began to study it seriously. Unexpectedly, my mother came back and found the doll. She immediately asked to dismantle the doll. My father shouted, ' How can I insult the master's hard work? I won't let go even after being kicked and punched by my mother..."

"Can you fast forward to the fracture?"

"Okay, then my mother used magic to blow a big hole in the living room. I was pinching at home - ahem, studying sculptures, and I didn't pay attention..."

"Broken leg?"

Chewing chestnuts, Xidi felt that he had wasted 2 minutes.

"No, I flew up on the broom in time and hit the chandelier. I fell down and the lamp hit my leg."

"What an unforeseen disaster, poor lamp... Then what do you mean by all the foreshadowing?"

"Don't you think my mother is going too far? She's just a shrew. She's even jealous of dolls. It's so pitiful that my father, who is obsessed with art, has such a thing--"

"Oh, I have a question," Xi Di clapped her hands, a little curious, "Which master's work can make your father so addicted."

Looking at the sculptures around him, it seems that McGee’s father is not bad at craftsmanship either.

"I'm not sure. My dad asked a friend to buy it from somewhere far away. Is it called Dorothy or Dorothy... The person who made it should be named Mal, right? She seems to be a witch... "

Xidi’s hand holding the chestnut paused.

"I guess it's a blond female doll wearing a green court dress and white garters."

"Wow, teacher, your guess is really accurate!" Mikey exclaimed, "How did you guess it?"

——Because he personally participated in the production.
