Jiayi turned the pork belly over, washed it, scraped it with a knife, and rubbed it with salt. Then he boiled a pot of boiling water, put it in the green onion, garlic, and peppercorns, and cooked it in the hot water. Then he took it out and cut it into strips.

Put cold water in the pot again, then take out the beans soaked in the morning, and put them in with the pork belly.

Next, boil over high heat.

After thinking about it, Jiayi felt that it was a bit too monotonous. He cut some radishes, and the remaining pig leg bones were inside yesterday. He called Flower to watch the fire.

"I didn't expect you to cook any more? Why don't you find a servant to take care of you?" Selena said, "My offer is not low. 300 gold can buy many servants."

Jiayi said unhappily: "You have no sincerity at all. Although I don't know much, I have a teacher. 300 gold is like buying my pen. I look down on me too much."

"Do you know how many 300 gold coins are?" Selena asked with a frown.

"I have something to sell to the teacher, which will cost me ten years of tuition."

"Ten years!" Selena was shocked. The tuition fee for ten years was no more than a few thousand gold coins.

Then, Jiayi took out a cup from Yao Lao's room, which was the glass that Jiayi burned and handed it to Selena: "You said, how much does this cup cost?"

"Hmm? Glass?" Selena took the cup, worthy of being professional, and instantly recognized it. "Glass, although relatively rare, are not a great thing. There are no more than 10 silver coins at most. It must be in your remote small place. If it is in the imperial capital, it will be at most 3 or 5 silver coins."

"Those 300 gold coins only require 1,000 glasses, and I can make better ones." Jiayi did not take a look at it.

"The pen engraving array can only be sold to mages. There are only so many mages in this world. Selling 1,000 pens is much more difficult than selling 1,000 glasses."

Jiayi shook his head and walked out without saying a word. He knew that Selena was changing the concept. The pen was only sold to the mage to maximize its value. It was not only sold to the mage, but also to ordinary people. The profit was not as good as selling to the mage. It might be more expensive to sell a pen with a magic circle than to sell 100 ordinary pens.

When Flower next to him saw Selena's embarrassed look, he couldn't help but say, "Selena, you can't impress Kaichi like this. He has a very good idea. Sometimes, the teacher will listen to his opinions."

"Oh, he is so powerful?" Selena couldn't help but feel curious.

"Of course, the teacher was not going to accept him, so he did it. He did something that made the teacher pay for his ten-year tuition. The teacher's charcoal purification paper also contributed to him. In addition, he also cooked delicious food and learned things very quickly. Now the teacher mainly gave him lectures, and then he taught us that the pen was really nothing to him." Flower said.

Selena asked: "I have been paying for ten years of tuition. He just told me, what can be paid for ten years of tuition for a mage apprentice? It costs several thousand gold coins!"

"Yes... this is a secret, but it's very profitable." Flower said. He finally remembers that the salt making matters were secrets in the territory and could not be disclosed to outsiders.

I have been making snow salt for more than half a year. Although the amount of production is not as high as ordinary salt due to confidentiality, it is expensive and I have made a lot of money.

"Even if the pen is different from that, it can't be worth thousands of gold coins, it's impossible." Selena still felt that her offer was already high.

In fact, it is worth millions of dollars to be considered as rmb. Buying a completely new one and never proving your own "patent" is not considered a small deal.

When the pork belly soup is ready, dinner time will come.

At the beginning, Jia started with dishes, and the dishes were placed in large soup bowls. Whoever wanted to eat them was served by themselves? There was a small basket in the middle of the table with bread in it, and it was necessary to use it to pick it up.

Jiayi took the initiative to serve a bowl of soup for Selena. I don’t know why, but maybe I think it’s a guest from afar, or maybe I just think it’s beautiful.

Selena sat at the table, and Tina was also there. She looked at the milky white soup in front of her and sniffed it lightly.

"What is this? It looks pretty good."

Jiayi replied: "Pig belly soup, it is better to drink some hot soup in winter."

"Pig belly?" Selena frowned, but said nothing.

People here also eat internal organs, but rich people eat less. But for ordinary people, there is nothing that cannot be eaten. Just wash it clean and fill your stomach.

Selena scooped a spoonful of soup with a spoonful of smell, but there was no strange smell as expected. It was only a salty and umami flavor, and there was a little numbness. After drinking it, I felt a warm current rose from my stomach. After tasting the pork belly, I felt it was soft and delicious, and it tasted completely different from the meat. There were also beans in the soup, which made the beans very soft and glutinous after cooking for a long time.

She couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that the pork belly soup is so delicious. This is the first time I have such a delicious soup. I didn't expect that Jiayi, as a mage apprentice, will cook so well."

"Do you think the four people here and the other three seem to be able to cook?"

"Well, Selena, try this bread. It was made by Jiayi and his family, which is much better than those in Wickham City." Im couldn't help but interrupt Jiayi. It was thanks to Jiayi, who was busy experimenting with developing new magic circles during this period, and his life was taken care of by three students.

Selena smiled: "I'll take a look at this bread."

"Well, why is it so soft? Is this really made here?" This was Selena who was surprised for some time, making her feel like a country bumpkin.

Although she knew that there was a mage living here, she thought that a mage in such a remote place should have a bad level, so she hid here. After publishing a paper, it was just a blind cat and a dead mouse. Moreover, the pen really only had a good design, but it had nothing to do with magic.

Jiayi swallowed the bread in his mouth and said in a natural tone: "Teacher Im is an outstanding graduate of Longgen Academy. He hid in this small place just to be able to study magic with peace of mind. You have to remember that no matter what, this is also a magician's residence."

This time, even Im was surprised. Unexpectedly, if he had a different saying, he had such noble sentiments. If Jiayi knew what he was thinking, he would only say that your sentiments were obtained by my integrity.

This time, Selena really began to doubt whether there was something wrong with her thoughts. Did she really have less offer?

Selena put down the bowl and said in a fearless tone: "Then you offer a price, how much do you think your pen is worth?"

Jia glanced at her: "I thought you were pretending to be stupid to lower the price, but I didn't expect you to be really stupid. No wonder you would ask you to come and buy papers for pens. What business is your Chamber of Commerce doing?"

He felt disappointed. He thought he was a mature lady, but after a long time, he turned out to be a silly white sweet.

Selena was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?" Did she say something wrong?

"Our Chamber of Commerce mainly engages in some magical items business, targeting some nobles or wealthy businessmen, all magical items that ordinary people can use."

"It's like you're not afraid of the cold?" Jiayi asked.

"Yes." She pulled out a ruby ​​necklace, "It was engraved with a fire-type heating array, which could make people not afraid of the cold."

"Teacher, I saw it in the book that the heating array is a magical repliance, right?" Jia turned his head and asked Im, with a puzzled expression, as if he felt that he had remembered something wrong.

But Selena felt a sense of mockery and said, "It is a mutated magic array of heating, which reduces the demand, cancels the effect of restoring magic, increases the effect of keeping warm, and can absorb external magic power and automatically replenish it, and can maintain coolness in summer."

This is actually a weakened version of the constant temperature magic array, but the gems used are more precious, and the effect of the magic array is just icing on the cake, but for women, it is indeed very practical, allowing them to wear beautiful clothes in winter.

It’s just a pity that I can’t wear marten with this gem.

"Let's talk about these tomorrow. You all think about it at night to see what you have not thought about carefully. We will continue tomorrow, and have a meal first."
