Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 234
"Dad, I''m hungry..."
After visiting most of the ice sculpture City, Bella, the eldest daughter, was the first to shout hungry.
Frederick took out four small paper bags with meat balls and distributed them to his wife and two daughters.
After opening the small paper bag, a tempting smell came out immediately. Frederick could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He picked out a meat ball with his finger and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.
The first feeling after the entrance is that it is soft and needs no effort to chew. Obviously, it is a kind of food suitable for all ages.
After chewing a few times, the meat floss pill completely dispersed, and the soft meat floss fully contacted with the oral cavity, conveying more signals.
With a little salty, a little sweet, but also a little sour, taste level is very rich, with this unique taste, it can''t stop.
Frederick took a look at Bella and Betty. The two little girls kept talking and ate with bright eyes. As soon as a meatball was put into their mouth, their hands immediately reached into the paper bag.
He and his wife looked at each other and saw the smile in each other''s eyes. They both slowed down their eating speed and planned to leave some for their daughter.
"Honey, this meatball seems to be shellfish..." Vera said in surprise.
"It''s really shellfish, but it''s delicious. It seems that there are several spices added to it." Frederick nodded.
"I just don''t know how to make meatballs, otherwise I can learn to make them. Anyway, there are a lot of scallops at home." Vera said with some regret.
"It must be the Lord''s invention again. It will be available in department stores in a few days. Shellfish is so cheap that this kind of Meatballs should not be expensive..." Frederick fondled Bella''s little head.
He said in a low voice, "I can buy some at that time. Anyway, I have that one..."
The couple''s feeling is right. This kind of meatball is a snack made of dried shellfish.
Two months ago, when a hot magic sailing boat was put into operation, which was specially used to catch bad luck oysters, the shellfish production in the territory began to increase explosively, with more than 15 tons of shellfish per day.
On sunny days, the working hours can be longer, and the output of shellfish is even more than 20 tons. With the population of the territory, it can only consume 5 tons a day at most. The remaining shellfish can only be dried and stored in the warehouse.
According to the ratio of 3 kg fresh shellfish to 1 kg dried meat, more than 3 tons of dried meat can be added to the warehouse every day.
With the passage of time, more and more dried meat is stored in the warehouse, which has gradually become the worry of the administrative department.
Although it''s a good habit to hoard food, we can''t hoard it like this. When the spring of next year and the return of fish stocks, the fish catch in the territory will soar, and we won''t worry about food. These dried shellfish will only be piled up in the warehouse all the time.
When the total amount of dried shellfish exceeded 200 tons in one fell swoop, the lady consul could not sit still any more and had to find a way out for these shellfish.
Making feed is the first way to be thought of, but if it''s something that can''t be eaten like Troll meat, it''s just that. It''s obvious that humans can eat it and it''s really painful to feed animals.
Renault came from a different time and space with extremely rich materials. He didn''t think it matters, but the consul had experienced a period of food shortage, and hunger left a very deep impression on her mind. She always thought it was a pity.
How to sell dried shellfish to the human kingdom after opening the trade route?
This is a solution, but the added value of dried shellfish is too low. In the early stage of trade with insufficient transport capacity, precious transport capacity is wasted on dried shellfish, which only fools do.
Finally, Renault thought of a way: deep processing, it will be made into high value-added snacks.
After repeated trials, the meatball was born.
The first step is to make minced meat, or granular meat products.
Put the fresh shellfish or dried shellfish meat into a metal container, cook it, grind it, then add 5 or 6 kinds of seasonings for seasoning, finally collect the juice, and the delicious meat powder will come out of the oven.
In the process of the experiment, most of the time is spent on seasoning. It takes a lot of energy to find a seasoning method that can meet the requirements of "low cost" and "good taste".
The final solution to this problem, is the Lord''s House chef ande.
As a native, Ender found several local condiments on the island, which made Reno quite satisfied. For this reason, Ender won a big prize from the government office, a reward of up to 15 jinnals.
The second step is to make meatballs.
Animal fat and edible mucus, that is, a liquid extracted from seaweed, are used to make a special adhesive to "glue" the meat floss into a ball the size of a thumb. The meat floss ball is finished.
But this is not the end, the above is only to determine the process, pure hand-made way is not acceptable, Renault will never compromise to heresy.
At this time, we need the rune magic weapons.
The third step is to develop a dedicated production line.For the experienced magician, this step is almost no difficulty.
Cooking, mincing, seasoning and juice collecting are integrated into one step, which can be done by one equipment. Extrusion process can be used to make meat floss balls.
There is only the final packaging process. At present, we can not use machines and have to rely on manual work. However, the labor intensity of packaging is very low. Ordinary women are qualified for this job. Moreover, women are considerate and more suitable for packaging work.
In this new year''s celebration, the first batch of products of this production line are the bags of Meatballs that every civilian receives.
After the new year, this kind of snack will be sold to several human kingdoms.
For a bag of meat floss balls with a net weight of half a Jin, the unit price set by the administrative department is 16 copper nals, while its cost is only 4 copper nals, and the profit is three times of the cost, which can be called a huge profit.
The scallops stored in the warehouse are enough to make nearly a million bags of meatballs, earning Renault more than 1000 jinnals.
It can be seen that even small things can make big money as long as they are on a large scale.
After enjoying the delicious meatballs, Betty was thirsty again, so the Fredericks came to the place where hot water was provided free of charge.
Six long lines were standing in front of two one person high machines. Frederick immediately took out four wooden cups and joined the long line.
This kind of hot water supply machine is called "thermal magic water heater". Its principle is no different from thermal magic heater, but the latter heats air while the former heats water.
At present, some organizations in the territory are already using the thermomagic water heater, such as the rune Institute, the Lord''s mansion, and the barracks of the island guard.
In the cold winter, this kind of machine is very popular, because as long as you have it, you can have hot water supply all the time, and you can take a hot bath anytime and anywhere.
During this new year''s celebration, the government department directly pulled in two hot magic water heaters to provide bath water, no, drinking water for civilians.
After five minutes in line, it was Frederick''s turn.
He stood in front of the machine a little uneasy, learning from others, carefully placed the wooden cup under a metal tube, then unscrewed a handle, and the hot water flowed out instantly.
Frederick''s eyes widened and his face was full of admiration.
It''s amazing!
He secretly thought that this must be the creation of the Lord.
Lord, you are a rare wise man in the world. You can think of this way.
It''s much more convenient than boiling water at home.
If you want to drink some hot water at home, you have to first make a fire, then fill the pot with snow, and finally put it on the fire for half a day before you have hot water to drink.
But this machine seems to have endless hot water. Thousands of people are pumping hot water here all the time, but the metal pipe doesn''t stop.
Some rushed to fill the four wooden cups with hot water, Frederick reluctantly gave up his position to the people behind him.
Ah, such an easy-to-use machine, just to use the feeling, you have to give it to others.
Frederick had a strong impulse to stand here and get hot water for everyone. For nothing else, he just wanted to be addicted.
But when he saw the shining eyes around him, he realized that he was not the only one with this idea.
Everyone wants to be a draughtsman
After handing the cup to his family, Frederick began to sip the hot water, feeling the heat from his stomach to the rest of his body.
Somehow, he felt that among the hot water he had drunk for decades, this one in his hand was the best.
It''s a magic machine. The water is so delicious
After getting rid of hunger and thirst and warming up by the way, the family of four continued their unfinished trip to the ice city happily.
Ten minutes later, before the family arrived at the last ice sculpture in the ice city, it was located in the deepest part of the ice city. It was the largest and most amazing ice sculpture in the ice city.
There were more than 300 people crowded here, but the scene was surprisingly quiet. Almost no one spoke. Everyone looked up at the distant ice sculptures, with huge shock on their faces.
Yes, it''s "head up.".
Because this ice sculpture is huge.
It is built on the mountain, with a height of more than 100 meters and a length of nearly 200 meters. It is a giant iceberg leaning on the mountain. Ordinary people are just like an ant in front of it.
The theme of the ice sculpture is: Lord, fight against the monsters!
The troll''s mountain like body stretched out countless tentacles waving all over the sky, which seemed to cover half of the sky. It looked terrible.
More than ten large magic stone lamps fully illuminate the ice sculpture, and several of them are focused on the top of the troll''s head, making the demon war armor standing there clearly visible. It is raising its arms, holding a pair of long strange weapons in its hands, aiming at the troll at its feet.
Obviously, that pair of strange weapons, I''m afraid, are the weapons used by the Lord to kill trolls.Just standing under the ice sculpture, Frederick felt a great pressure coming on him. He was short of breath, his heart beat fast, and his mind was blank.
It''s just an ice sculpture. What if it''s a real Troll?
Frederick was very sure that he would never have any will to resist. Most of them could not even stand and escape.
But such a terrible monster, the Lord can kill it. Your power is comparable to that of a God.
No, your Lord is a God.
A god whose strength is higher than mountains, wisdom is deeper than oceans, kindness is bigger than sky!
