After Ye Ling and the two little birds arrived, Loran Hill packed up his books and got up to have lunch together.
The small stove gurgled as the two of them sat around it, steam rising from it. The meat, potatoes, and vegetables inside kept roiling, giving off a pleasant aroma. This time, Loran Hill also prepared small wooden bowls for the two birds and placed them aside, filling them with some food.
Sitting under the lush green shade of the trees, the loud chirping of cicadas can be heard from the trees from time to time, and the happy lunch begins.
"Delicious~" Ye Ling used chopsticks to pick up her favorite dishes from the pot from time to time, continuing to praise as usual.
Seeing the traces of water on Ye Ling's body, Luo Lanxier asked curiously, "Did you go to the river to play?"
"Yes, that stream is quite clear. It's nice to take a dip in it."
"But it would be nice to have a fishing rod. It would be even better to sit there and fish."
"There's a fishing rod behind the cabin, but I have to see if it's still usable. The last time I went fishing was a long time ago." Loran Hill remembered the scene when she sat by the river and patiently taught Katie how to fish. Unfortunately, Katie was not very interested in fishing and always fell asleep while sitting there.
In her own words, "Can't you just scoop the fish out? It's so frustrating to be fishing and waiting."
If Loran Hill hadn't stopped her, the Fire Witch would have probably steamed the river dry. The fish would have to be cooked anyway.
The two of them ate and occasionally talked about things in the forest.
"If you leave this maple forest and keep going south, you'll see the Rabbit-Eared Tribe's village. Hmm... maybe we should call it a city now."
"If you need anything, you can buy it there, but before that, I usually make it myself."
"Did Lorraine make the furniture too?"
"Yes, it took quite a while. I was not very skilled at the beginning and wasted some wood. Later I slowly found the trick." Loran Hill couldn't help but smile when he recalled how embarrassed he was at the beginning.
Although I encountered many difficulties, it was also quite interesting. I lived an idyllic life in this forest for a long time.
After lunch, the two packed up briefly and prepared to visit Yi Xue Green.
"I'd better bring some gifts." Thinking that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Yi Xue had helped him a lot in the past, Loran Hill didn't want to go there empty-handed.
But what should I bring? This ice elf princess is a ghost and she doesn’t seem to be short of daily necessities.
As Loranhill was thinking, he suddenly remembered the fruit that another elf princess, Atesi, asked her to cultivate.
Let's make something with this fruit.
After returning to the house, the girl found the clay pot she used to boil sugar, poured the stored maple syrup into it, and began to boil it over low heat.
Slowly, a sweet fragrance began to waft through the air, attracting Ye Ling. Seeing how seriously Luo Lan was working, she didn't want to disturb him, so she stood aside and watched quietly and curiously.
After seeing the maple syrup in the pot become viscous, the girl began to add the juice of the cardamom fruit, a little powder of the ghost flower, and then combined it with the potion formula that had been improved in the East, added various auxiliary ingredients, and slowly blended it to allow it to fully react.
The liquid in the pot began to change color, first from orange to dark purple, then turned into a flowing liquid, and then slowly evaporated the excess water, and gradually turned into purple-red. The purple-red continued to fade and turned into dark red, until finally it showed a blood orange color.
"It's still a little deep, but this is the only way. If we continue, the effect of the medicine will change." Loran Hill analyzed.
Then she extinguished the flame, took out a prepared wooden mold, sprinkled some flour on it, poured the sugar liquid into the small grids, and then covered it.
Looking at the small crescent-shaped grid mold, Ye Ling asked curiously, "Are you making candy?"
"Yes, but it's a little different from what I remember." Loran Hill actually wanted to make orange candy, but unfortunately the color seemed a little darker, more like amber red, rather than the color of orange.
After all, a lot of other materials have been added, so it is still too difficult to maintain the original color.
When the tang leaves were almost cooled, Loran Hill opened the lid, poured out the semi-solidified sugar cubes, and sprinkled some flour to prevent his hands from getting dirty. Only then did he put the red-orange tangerine candies into the jar.
That's it!
Looking at the soft and elastic orange peel candy in his hand, Loran Hill tasted one first. It had a mellow fruity aroma, but not too greasy. After eating one, people couldn't help but continue to eat the next one.
"I want one too." Seeing that Luo Lan didn't give her one first, Ye Ling immediately reached out her hand coquettishly.
"Okay, here you go." The girl took out six pieces of orange candy and placed them in Ye Ling's small palm. The candy hadn't completely cooled down yet, and was still slightly warm.
"It's so sweet, it feels like eating freshly picked fruits." Ye Ling ate the candies one by one, and soon all the candies in her hand were gone.
"Okay, stop looking at me. I have to give it to someone else. I can't let you eat it all." Loran Hill scratched Ye Ling's nose and protected the jar beside him to prevent the little guy from stealing food.
"Can you do it for me in the future? I like it too~"
"Okay, I'll write down the recipe and method later, and you can learn it yourself."
"Okay, thank you, Lorraine."
By the time the two of them finished making the candies, it was already past four in the afternoon. Looking at the sun gradually setting outside, the girl hesitated for a few seconds and decided to set off today.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to visit Yi Xue at night. After all, she is a ghost and probably doesn't like to bask in the sun during the day.
