"Academic Conference? What is this?"

Jiayi was cooking, and suddenly heard about this and felt a little surprised.

It was the third year he came to the college, and it was the first time he heard about a college conference. Could it be that he wanted to learn from his former school? Is there any mobilization at the beginning of the school?

Jade took out a plate of green vegetables and said, "I heard that the students from the academy are going to be gathered together. Let's announce something."

Chester rushed over and leaned over and said, "Can it be the elves' business?"

It is no secret that elves are coming to the academy. Now almost everyone in the entire academy knows that some people have seen elves in the academy, but they have always been in-depth and simple, and there are not many cases of appearance.

However, Jiayi is more relaxed now. He has asked Gwen that the elves come to be indeed related to the elves, but it is not just because of the elves, the elves are just an introduction.

Gwen told Jiayi with certainty that the matter of Elf Rice would not involve Jiayi, but would only end at the academy level.

However, she also reminded Jiayi that the people of the Elf clan are indeed very interested in those who can grow the Elf rice. They may come to contact Jiayi, but there will definitely be no unfriendly actions.

So Jiayi is very calm now, but Gwen didn't explain in detail what the main purpose of the elves came here.

Jade said: "Not it? Even if there are elves coming to school, there is no special meeting to announce it, right? Could it be that some elves royal family came to study?"

The human royal family has no status in front of the academy, but the elf royal family is different. The status is very different. Even the purple-robed mage will give it a certain respect.

"I don't know how the Elf Royal Family looks. I heard that the Elf King is the queen now. It would be great if the one who came here was a princess. It would be very beautiful." Chester didn't know what he thought of, and his saliva seemed to be flowing down.

Maggie looked at the boys who seemed to start fantasizing about the Elf Royal Family, and said dissatisfiedly: "How do you know that the royal family you came from is very beautiful, maybe you have freckles on your face."

Seeing Machi's unhappy expression, Jia quickly said, "Isn't this a reference with you, the princess, as a reference? You are so beautiful, so the princess of the Elf clan should not be bad either. Are everyone all princesses?"

Although he knew that Jiayi was talking nonsense, Jiayi's sudden rainbow fart still made Machi feel happy, and his dissatisfaction subsided a lot.

Jed decisively changed the topic. He picked up a chopstick of green vegetables and tasted them, and then said to Jiayi: "Jiayi, you have cooked a lot fresher recently and the taste is better. Why?"

Especially the vegetables made by Jiayi have a umami flavor even if they are simple stir-fry. The sweet taste of the vegetables themselves is particularly attractive, and green vegetables are the most important.

Jiayi picked up a small bottle on the stove, took the bottle in one fell swoop, and said, "It's because of this."

This is a big belly glass bottle with a mixture of pink and brown powder, and there is no way to tell what it is.

"This is a powder mixed with sea steak and dried vegetarian fish. It is very delicious. You only need to add a little to improve freshness when cooking, especially when making vegetables and when making soup. I found it in Aimod, so I bought some and brought it back."

In this era without MSG, Jiayi's seasoning made with seafood is a big killer, and it is not as frivolous as the umami flavor of MSG. The umami flavor is more natural and has a little seafood flavor.

The umami powder has a more prominent umami flavor, while the dry frying foam tastes more heavy, with a slight scent of fire and a hint of spicyness. In order to get the best ratio, Kazuichi tried it himself many times before he tried it slowly.

When I originally bought it, I only mixed it with sea steak powder and dried firewood.

"Then why your restaurant doesn't use this, the taste is much worse than what you do."

Yanxi asked strangely, Jiayi was not a person who cherished himself, and he didn't rely on this to make a living. He would not say that he would hide it in order to ensure his outstanding craftsmanship.

"Ah...I don't want to, but I just can't do it." Jiayi served the last dish. "Have you noticed that the magic ingredients this year are a bit abnormal and the prices have not dropped much."

Generally speaking, every time the school starts, the mages who go out to take risks will bring back a lot of materials. Because the transaction volume increases greatly, most materials will have a slight decline, but because of the special nature of magical materials, the decline will not be large.

However, during the period before the start of school this year, these materials not only did not fall, but some relatively basic consumables still had a lot of increases. Most of the time, various chambers of commerce would ship a large number of consumables to the beginning of school. The prices of these consumables were relatively stable, and some merchants even offered discounts and promotions.

Yanxi thought about it carefully and said, "You said this, it's true. I went to buy some ink reagents and other things two days ago. The price was indeed a little higher than usual, but I didn't pay attention."

The mage is not sensitive to the prices of these consumables with relatively low prices, so they overlook this point. If they pay attention to daily necessities such as rice and flour, they will find that not only consumables, but also flour prices have risen a lot.

Jiayi found a seat and sat down, saying, "Didn't we meet a group of fishmen when we came back? Now, the group of fishmen are gathering more and more, which has seriously affected the waterway, resulting in the shipping cargo being transported by sea, so the price has risen a lot. I heard that in order to ensure the food supply here at the college, the professors of the college specially transported a batch of food through airships, otherwise the price of food in the college will rise even more."

Jiayi originally thought that the fishman entrenched in the Yanze area of ​​Hongtan would not have much impact on him, and he would not have done business in person, but he did not expect that the impact on the academy would be so great.

If it weren't for the long enough Isuvi River that there were many cities along the way that could supply some necessary supplies to the college, the normal life and teaching of the college would have been affected.

It is not that no one wants to clean up the fish man in Hongtan Yanze, but the terrain there is complex. The Hongtan Yanze is a piece of mud and covered with mangroves. As long as the fish man hides inside, it is not easy to find them. Especially now that everyone is focused on the devil's sea, and they don't have much energy to deal with the matter of Hongtan Yanze.

Jiayi and the others complained about the current price increase, although if Jiayi had not proposed it, no one would have discovered it.

......

The next morning, Jiayi and the others hurried to the college. Today is the first day of school. It is said that they will hold a conference, and they don’t know what to say specifically.

There were already a lot of people when Jiayi and the others came. It seems that everyone is very curious about the college conference and wants to see what is going on.

But after a closer look, the reason why so many people are because the pre-season people have also come. This conference is not only for the people in the Mage Department.

However, generally speaking, what Jiayi and the others mentioned actually do not include preparatory classes, just like when it comes to various universities, they will not even count any affiliated high school.

Soon, more and more people gathered, and the square in front of the college building was almost crowded. Everyone consciously divided it into two parts, one was the mage department and the other was the preparatory shift. There was no one in line, which seemed a bit messy and lacked organization.

This is the first time the college has brought all the students together, so it seems inexperienced.

In addition to the students of the college, there were also many outsiders gathered around the square, all of whom came to join in the fun. They were also very interested in the college's sudden promotion.

Soon, when it was nine o'clock, the bells of the college bell tower suddenly remembered, "DuangDuang" sounded nine times in a row, and the bells of the main bells were different from ordinary bells, and they were clearer and farther and farther.

Generally speaking, non-noon only have the hour and half of the clock, and it will only ring once. The last time the main clock rang at non-noon was when the college cleared Lake Tabernina, that time it was the bell used to see off the teachers and students of the college.
