Chapter 109 Meng Spring Festival

The next day, Jia Yi took the candy and tofu home.

Because the Spring Festival is approaching, Im sets a holiday for them all. Jia Yi originally wanted to invite his teacher to celebrate the festival at home, but Im refused. The Lord's Mansion did not go, so he stayed alone in the moonlight hut in the Lin Pine Valley.

The sugar content of the sugar sap from yesterday was quite high, more than 10%. I collected about 100 kilograms of tree sap and made 10 kilograms of tree sap.

There are already quite a few gold coins on the market to buy them.

When I entered the house, my parents were still selling bread in front of me.

As soon as Jia washed his hands, he came to the front room to help: "Mom, I'm back, the teacher has given us a holiday."

As soon as Erica saw Jiayi, her smile came out: "I'm back, how long can I stay this time?"

"After the Spring Festival, the teacher will notify you, but you didn't say it." Jiayi replied. Only then did he remember that he didn't even know the "school start" time.

Im is also casual in holidays. When I think about it, school starts. When there is something to do, I will give them a holiday. There is no summer vacation. Now this should be considered a winter vacation, although the time is a bit short.

Jiayi said to Erica: "Mom, I'm back with candy."

There is a sense of show-off in words.

"Sugar? Where did you get the money?"

"I didn't buy it." Jiayi was like a proud little rooster. "There are a few candy trees in the teacher's valley. We picked the candy. We picked more than 20 pounds of candy."

"So much?" Erica thought to herself, not expecting that the yield of sugar trees is so high that it makes more money than selling bread.

Because Jia came back, Erica closed the door early and began to prepare some delicious food.

"Jiayi, what is this?" Erica saw the tofu that Jiayi brought back and kept it in water.

"Tofu." Seeing Erica's puzzled look, he continued to explain, "made of beans, made of beans and grinding."

Jiayi explained in detail how tofu is made and said, "We will make some at home in two days. There is also oil tofu here, which is fried tofu. This is oil tofu stuffed with meat."

In fact, the oil tofu stuffed pork with pork in Jiayi's hometown was called Karou tofu in his previous life, but the name was too difficult to translate, so Jiayi gave up.

Erica looked at Jiayi and smiled and said, "Jiayi, I don't know how you learn from your teacher, but you are really talented in eating."

Jiayi was a little embarrassed when he was said, but he immediately recovered: "My studies are also good, otherwise the teacher would not support me in making tofu, so he gave me candy and asked me to bring back."

While talking, his sister and brother came back from school. Jiayi gave them some of the candy he brought from his bag, and asked Erica to put away the rest.

"Jiayi, how is your study?" Donna asked Jiayi in a low voice. She knew that Jiayi was going to learn magic. Although she was curious, she did not plan to learn it too. She was just longing for the magic that Jiayi showed.

At home, only Donna knows about Jiayi learning magic. Ordinary people have prejudice against magic, especially the more remote the place, the deeper the prejudice.

"I have never been behind others when it comes to studying this matter, even... this one." Jiayi stopped the other people's gaze, reached out, lit a flame in his hand, and instantly took it back.

The room was darker. As soon as the flames came out, although they were not seen by Erica and the others, the light was seen.

"What?" Erica turned her head and looked at Jiayi.

Basically, if there is anything abnormal, it must be made by Jiayi. Although Jiayi always thought that he was low-key, he did too many high-profile things. As his parents, Erica and the others saw it, but outsiders didn't know it.

"It's nothing, I'll show Donna the gift I brought back." Jiayi took out a mirror from his bag.

Since Jiayi has made glass, why don’t he think about making a mirror? The mirror that Jiayi took out was made when he made window glass.

He was originally thinking about how to coat the glass with a reflective layer, but he knew the reaction of the silver mirror, but he didn't have silver nitrate, so he planned to use mercury. Unexpectedly, he asked Im and solved it. Using magic, he simply plated the silver.

It should be said that among mages, mirrors are not rare things. Although the production of glass is not large and not large, mages have seen glass and have invented the technology to use silver plating mirrors.

Is it just a mage? He is holding a shelf and can't put his figure down to make mirrors. Moreover, even if the mage can put his figure down, the cost of the mirror cannot be reduced - a mirror handmade by an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences will have to be 100,000 or 80,000 yuan for you, no matter how ordinary it is, it will have to be a base.

Erica took it in her hand and was surprised at first glance: "Where did this come from? Could it be that she took your teacher's stuff?"

When she was in Takimura, she used water to look in the mirror. When she moved to the town, she had money to buy a bronze mirror. This was the first time she saw a mirror that she had taken so clearly.

"Of course not, I was the one who did... the teacher gave me." Jiayi explained.

I originally wanted to say that I did it myself, but it was difficult to explain, so I had to change it to a teacher.

When Jia saw Erica's surprised expression, she realized that it was the first time she had seen the glass mirror, and she didn't think of giving her one at first. It was really inappropriate. He was busy learning magic and wanted to bring a copy of it back if he had any good things, but he never brought gifts to his parents alone.

Thinking about it, Jiayi felt a little guilty. Do you think that he could have forgotten himself even if he had invented bread for his family?

Perhaps he still has a barrier from this world in his bones, and after learning magic, the barrier deepened. Moreover, Jia couldn't think of any good way to eliminate it, so he could only remind himself to pay attention.

Thinking of this, Jiayi pointed to the mirror and said to Erica: "Mom, I'll give this to you, Nana can't use it now."

This is not a perfect solution, but with Jiayi's emotional intelligence, he can only choose this method.

Donna rolled her eyes, but she was not easy to grab the things she gave to her mother.

Erica smiled in the mirror and handed it to Donna: "Nana, please keep it. If I want to use it, go to your place."

Donna smiled and took it over, without thinking about refusing, and even made a face at Jiayi.

......

In the following days, the family began to prepare for the Spring Festival.

Since tofu is already available, the food made from tofu is essential. Because Jia Yi brought back not much tofu, he made another portion at home, but this time he could only use a stone mill to grind slowly, without the help of Im's magic.

Fried tofu, fried tofu, braised tofu, stuffed tofu with meat, (chicken) cake (steamed with tofu and eggs), and all kinds of tofu dishes, as long as you can imagine, Jiayi made them. In addition to tofu, he also pressed the tofu, but there was no soy sauce or brine, and all the dried tofu dishes were made.

Next, there are bean curds and tofu crusts. The tofu crust is poured directly into the hot pot with soy milk, which is a tofu crust. Due to technical problems, the tofu crusts that were poured at the beginning are either broken or too thick. The soy milk is different from the tofu crust. When the soy milk is heated, a layer of film appears on the surface. The film is taken out and dried and it is the bean curd.

The various methods of tofu made Erica amazed. It turned out that beans could still be eaten like this, but they were cooked before. This made Erica's judgment that Jiayi had extraordinary talent for eating.

Jiayi handed over the method of making tofu and cooking to Erica. There was really no one at home, otherwise there would be an extra tofu workshop.

In fact, it can be recruited or done in partnership with others, but Erica now treats this tofu as a family heirloom and doesn't want others to know about it.

The night before the Spring Festival, the whole family gathered to have a meal.

Speaking of which, whether in China or abroad or in another world, the reunion dinner is eaten one night before the official festival. There is New Year's Eve during the Spring Festival and Christmas Eve during Christmas. Maybe it is time to free up the official start of the festival for activities.

Jiayi has already started on the journey of magic. In the foreseeable future, there will be fewer and fewer days of having dinner with his family.
