Chapter 308: Isn’t the magic wand meant to serve the wizard?

"Incredible, incredible! How on earth did you do that? Such precise measurements, you idiot, you were born to be an alchemist or pharmacist."

Wood looked at Lu Wenwu who put the dough aside and continued to work, and kept praising him.

"What are you doing now? Why are you mixing grease with flour? And why did you use hot water just now? Does that make any difference?"

“This is called puff pastry.”

Lu Wenwu kept stirring, causing the flour and oil to completely blend, forming a yellowish-brown paste.

"Spread this on the dough and bake it. The cake will become crispy and delicious, similar to fried food."

"Using hot water to knead the dough is called half-boiling the dough, which can make the cooked dough taste better, with both softness and chewiness."

"Unfortunately, our conditions here are limited. We only have all-purpose flour. Some things made with this kind of flour will taste a little worse."

"Fortunately, egg-filled pancakes are not affected."

"There are different types of flour?" Wood became increasingly confused. "Also, what is 'gluten'?"

In the Jade Empire, there are no such terms as "oil-fried pastry" and "medium-strength pastry".

These were words that Lu Wenwu had made up by translating them from Chinese, so it was naturally very difficult for the old god to understand them.

"I don't know what magical plants look like, but mundane crops, depending on the type of seeds, the climate conditions in which they grow, and so on, will eventually produce different fruits. These differences are the result of years of natural evolution."

Lu Wenwu, who was looking for seasonings and cooking tools, thought for a moment and then explained.

"Gluten is a classification of flour's inherent 'gluten' properties. Simply put, you can think of it as the difference in the ductility of the flour after it's kneaded into dough. Flour can also be further subdivided into more than a dozen types based on the different raw materials and grinding methods."

In fact, the gluten properties of flour are determined by the protein content.

But considering that there might not be the concept of protein here, he explained it in a simpler way.

Professor Wood is an expert in the field of alchemy, and naturally has a strong ability to understand things. He quickly figured out some of the tricks.

Just like the same mineral contains different concentrations of magic power and different elemental properties, thus giving rise to variant materials suitable for different refining.

"What a pity. Some things are missing."

Lu Wenwu cracked an egg and smelled it, then looked at the seasonings in the kitchen with some distress. He simply grabbed a handful of green onions, chopped them into small pieces, and added some ground pepper.

At the same time, he took out a can of prepared sauce from his personal backpack.

Professor Wood was immediately attracted by the black substance in the jar and hurried forward.

"What is this? Black pepper sauce?"

"It's specifically made for egg-filled pancakes. It's made primarily from fermented soybeans, mixed with garlic powder, five-spice powder, cinnamon powder, star anise powder, clove powder, cumin powder, and some sugar and other seasonings, then cooked with some oil."

Lu Wenwu knows his sauce recipe like the back of his hand and can recite it by heart.

"Speaking of which, Professor, have you mastered the legendary time magic? If possible, could you increase the flow of time for these doughs by two hours? This would make the flavor even better."

Yes, time magic.

This is mentioned in the book The Complete Book of Spells.

Lu Wenwu personally thought that this was simply against the will of heaven, even though wizards usually only used this thing to speed up the refining of potions and skip the boring fusion and waiting process.

This time Wood said nothing.

He chanted the spell and waved his wand lightly.

An almost transparent silver light sank into the container containing the dough.

After waiting for about ten seconds, Wood said in a deep voice, "It's done. Please continue cooking."

Lu Wenwu glanced at the various rolling pins in the kitchen, gave up decisively, and instead took out his Fire Dragon Wand from his arms.

"big."

With a soft chant, the dark red magic wand suddenly expanded to the size of an ordinary rolling pin.

Lu Wenwu sprinkled some thin flour on the chopping board, took out a dough and kneaded it into thick strips, then rolled it with his magic wand, and a perfect long noodle took shape in front of him.

The thickness is uniform and the width is consistent.

The arcane servants who had been engaged in cooking all knew how wonderful this was, and they applauded and cheered, making sounds of amazement.

Only the old god of law, Wood's fist, became hard again, with a red temperature visible to the naked eye.

"You bloody bastard! Look what you're doing with your wand!"

The skinny old man roared, and the black magic hammer began to hit Lu Wenwu's head "dong dong dong" again and again.

"Ah! How can a magic wand be so inconvenient? Wasn't the magic wand created to serve magicians?"

Lu Wenwu nonchalantly smeared oil on the dough and rolled it into a roll with a vent at the bottom.

Flatten it with the unsealed spiral facing down and roll it into a round pancake shape.

"Look, now I need it, and I can use it. The magic wand has been of great help. Isn't this the original intention of our predecessors in creating the magic wand?"

"Asshole! The magic wand is for you to cast magic!" Wood was furious.

Lu Wenwu repeated the action slowly and calmly, then asked with a smile, "Magic is essentially used to make our lives easier, right? Magicians are the masters of magic."

"What else?"

"A wand is a tool that allows us to perform magic, right?"

"Yes, so what?"

"Look, if that's the case, then why not use magic and just use a wand to make my life easier?" Lu Wenwu spread his hands. "I can even save on magic power, right?"

Wood: “.”

Goddess of Magic, I really want to scold him.

But what he said seems to make sense.

The atmosphere in the prescription suddenly became a little strange.

Smiling, Lu Wenwu adjusted the temperature of the cast iron pot and added some local specialty butter. After it melted, he signaled the arcane servant to turn up the fire.

When the oil is heated, put the rolled dough into it and fry on both sides over low heat.

While Lu Wenwu was frying pancakes, he added a little pepper and chopped green onions to the eggs he had cracked earlier to remove the fishy smell and stirred them evenly.

If he uses eggs laid by his own chickens, this step can be skipped.

The eggs here are not good, they have a strong fishy smell.

After about a minute, the surface of the pancake began to bulge slightly.

At this time, use a pair of tongs to slightly lift the upper layer of the spiral skin, and the golden egg liquid mixed with a little emerald green will be poured into the reserved spiral hole.

Then, turn over!

Not a drop of egg liquid flowed out of the spiral mouth!

This once again caused many arcane servants to exclaim in surprise!

It's like writing a story, starting with the step of kneading the dough, and finally revealing the story when pouring in the egg liquid.

The eggs are evenly poured into every corner of the pancake along the spiral lines, creating a perfect fusion of the two.

After the stuffed pancakes continued to bake for a while, the egg liquid flowing inside had taken shape. Lu Wenwu picked up the pan neatly and used a large wooden spatula to put the stuffed pancakes into the oven for baking pancakes.

After about one or two minutes, when the grease on the surface of the stuffed pancake has been "dried", a rich aroma will come to your nose.

Lu Wenwu took the stuffed pancake out of the oven and brushed the sauce on it skillfully.

He tore off two lettuce leaves from the vegetable stand next to him, cut a few times on the stems and placed them on the pancake. On top of that was a large piece of fried smoked pork bacon, also from the kitchen.

Fold it in half in the middle and place it on a silver plate with gold filigree pattern in the kitchen.

"Egg-filled pancake, please enjoy."

Lu Wenwu pushed the plate towards Professor Wood and began to cook the remaining ingredients himself.

There are many things not available here, so he plans to adapt to local conditions and improve them according to the local people's tastes.

Combining the pizza making process, maybe it would be nice to make a cheese and egg pancake?

or.

Cheese mashed potatoes and egg pancakes?

The satisfaction of a carbohydrate bomb should also be excellent!

Just do it.

Lu Wenwu immediately took out the ingredients and began to try his new idea.

Cooking in five cast iron pots together creates a spectacular scene.

On the other side, Professor Wood, who couldn't wait any longer, swallowed his saliva and reached out to grab it without caring about table manners.

The magician's physique was no match for a beast like Lu Wenwu, and he was burned immediately.

But the impatient old magic god didn't care about it. He raised his hand to apply high temperature insulation to himself, then grabbed the stuffed pancake and took a big bite.

The golden and crispy dough makes a crisp "crunch" sound that can be heard from a long distance away.

At that moment, the freshness of the sauce, the crispness of the lettuce, the satisfaction of carbohydrates, the tenderness of the eggs, the fragrance of the oil, and the unique smoky taste of bacon burst out in your mouth.

The aroma stimulated by high temperature fills the entire nasal cavity, and the wonderful taste nourishes the entire mouth and taste buds.

The teeth collide with the crispy crust, and every bite is extremely satisfying.

Professor Wood's brain relaxed unconsciously and he entered a state of selflessness. The only thing in his mind was the enjoyment of the ultimate food, without any worries.

At this moment, he seemed to have figured out many things subconsciously, and his mind became extremely active.

Even the alchemical problem that had troubled him for years was solved easily, as if it came naturally.

Before he knew it, he had finished the whole egg pancake.

When did you eat it?

What does it taste like?

How many bites did you eat?

He couldn't remember any of this anymore.

He only remembered one thing - it smelled good!

This experience is simply amazing!

He looked at Lu Wenwu who was trying the new product, jumped up excitedly, and patted his shoulder hard.

"Boy! Good boy! You're right! You really have the right to look down on our school cafeteria! You are definitely the greatest chef I have ever seen in the world. Even the God of Wine and Feasts should applaud you!"

"This is absolutely the most delicious thing I've ever eaten in my life. Those chefs in the Jade Empire Palace are complete idiots! Trash! Absolute idiots! They should be ashamed of their incompetence!"

"What's this called? Oh, right, an egg-filled pancake! After eating this egg-filled pancake, I even felt my cultivation level stir, and even my soul became clear!"

Wood was extremely excited. He jumped around in circles and waved his wand to release one small elemental firework after another.

As happy as a child over 500 years old.

Lu Wenwu smiled but said nothing.

This is not an illusion, but it can really promote the improvement of cultivation.

Even though he didn't use his spiritual cooking skills now, these were just ordinary egg-filled pancakes made with common ingredients.

But all things are connected to God, and all things are connected to God.

Even if you do it casually, it can have the effect of turning decay into something magical.

With Lu Wenwu's current realm, if he uses the best ingredients at hand and cooks with all his strength, every egg-filled pancake he makes will be enough to cause a bloody storm in the world of cultivation!

This is the enlightenment cake that can help practitioners attain enlightenment!

Just the mysterious power of this to assist in cultivation has surpassed countless panaceas!

"Try some of this, Professor."

Lu Wenwu also pushed the new product over.

Thanks to his cooking skills, these new products all taste good and none of them are bad.

It's just that they didn't quite suit his taste, so he just cut off a small piece of each and tasted it.

Professor Wood, who was trying egg-filled pancakes for the first time, accepted them all and ate them happily, even his white beard was covered with crispy pancake crumbs.

If the favorability system was still there, Lu Wenwu estimated that Professor Wood's favorability with him would be at least 50 or 60.

It shouldn't be a problem to establish a normal friendship with someone who is slightly closer.

Just as Lu Wenwu was looking through the food reserves in the kitchen, thinking about how to improve this miserable English-style cuisine, an old voice sounded at the door.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

Lu Wenwu turned his head to look at the door, only to see an old man wearing a blue wizard robe and a big white beard standing there in confusion.

The old man is tall and straight, with a ruddy complexion, vigorous blood and a strong breath of life.

If you ignore the appearance, people would believe that this kind of vigorous vitality is a good guy.

And there's one more thing

Isn’t this old man a little too handsome?

[Life Mage Netel (S+~First Stage of Deification)]: 24 9000/24 ​​9000

[Cultivation]: God of Magic, Eight-ringed Arcanist

[Current Status]: Natural Blessing, Spirit Body, Doubt

[Analysis]: The dean of the Magic School of Magik Wizard Academy, an elder of the Elf Council, a master of potions, a god-level elven magician who is good at natural magic, felt something was wrong because he had not been able to eat breakfast.

I discovered that the dean of the magic academy is actually an elf!

Only then did Lu Wenwu notice that Dean Nettle's ears had an inhumanly pointed shape.

The white hair was not caused by old age and loss of pigment, but had a texture similar to silver, with a halo flowing like water waves.

Seeing the dean coming, the arcane servants all shuddered and immediately returned to their work stations and started to get busy.

It's a disaster!

I was so busy admiring the master's craftsmanship that I forgot to prepare breakfast!

The old elf glanced at Lu Wenwu, who looked innocent, and then looked at Professor Wu De, who was eating without even raising his head. Veins on his forehead began to twitch.

"Dear Alchemist God Mr. Wood, our beloved Director of Alchemy, and this burly gentleman who hasn't officially become a junior student at the academy, can either of you tell me why our kitchen work has come to a standstill? Even the gate has been demolished?"

He asked with a smile, like the calm before the storm.

Lu Wenwu calmly hid behind Wood and patted the old god of law on the shoulder.

"Professor, professor, stop eating. Stop for a moment."
