Chapter 146 Infrastructure and Bakery
While Andre was working hard to build his territory, Jiangyou's new store was also being built in full swing.
The Troll Engineering Team arrived as scheduled, only to receive news that the boss was changing the requirements again. However, these pitiful Party B workers were only agitated for a second before succumbing to the temptation of the donuts served by Jiangyou.
The fried dough rings were drizzled with icing sugar and cream, and the sweet aroma piqued the trolls' keen sense of smell even from a distance. The troll craftsmen gulped and immediately declared, "We can do it! We'll change the design right now!"
Jericho, enjoying a donut in his mouth, watched all this with a cold eye: "Oh, you're right!"
He wondered if it was his imagination, but Jiang You was becoming increasingly adept at using delicious food to coax these workers... Well, then again, with delicious food in front of him, who could resist the temptation? His young master couldn't do it, he couldn't do it, and naturally, these workers couldn't do it either... Hiss, was this the terrifying part of the lich?!
The trolls were very efficient. After Jiangyou changed his demands, a more perfect viewing restaurant was born. It still had the design of a circular greenhouse plus a small building, but the small building was modified to be more transparent, with large blocks of stone as the main building material, and a large number of dragon crystal windows used for ventilation and light, so the safety and aesthetics were maximized.
After Jiang You nodded his approval of the new design, the trolls erected an airtight curtain around the plot of land. One after another, the wagons loaded with building stones, sand, and soil unloaded and departed. The diners craned their necks, unable to see what was happening behind the curtain.
The trolls cast a soundproof and dustproof magic on the construction site, so no sound could be heard, and it did not affect Jiangyou's workshop business at all.
Jiang You was preparing for a new bakery and would visit the construction site from time to time. Every time she went there, she would find new changes.
The messy ruins were razed to the ground, and the huge dragon crystal mines were mined and cut into thin slices, some square and some curved. Although these dragon crystals were as thin as glass, they were actually incredibly hard. No matter how hard you dropped them, how you jumped on them, or how you attacked them with magic, they would not cause any damage.
These dragon crystals can even absorb external attack energy and convert it into their own energy reserves, which can be used to regulate the ambient temperature or enhance defense. According to Leodore, as long as certain dragon language spells are used, Jiangyou can also control these energy-rich dragon crystals to attack.
"It's so practical." Jiang You exclaimed, and asked the craftsmen to make her a box with dragon crystal.
The box was small, just enough to fit her phylactery completely inside. On the night when the troll craftsmen finished digging the foundation and left work, Jiang You took advantage of the dark moon and strong wind to bury the dragon crystal box containing her phylactery deep in the foundation.
"Yeah, safe!"
The ground was quickly leveled, covered with a solid dragon crystal floor, and massive stone pillars were erected, supporting the entire structure of the small building. The circular dome greenhouse's support structure also gradually took shape, with curved pieces of dragon crystal inlaid onto the support structure, forming a perfect dome.
Jiangyou was very satisfied with the progress of the project here, so he turned his attention back to the construction of the bakery.
Angris Ho Bryman was indeed a very useful employee. He was extremely familiar with the real estate industry in Eston West City and had easily chosen the most suitable bakery address for Jiangyou - right at the street where the brewery was located. Almost all neighbors and tourists would pass by this corner on their way to the brewery.
-By the way, there is a public restroom at the end of the street. Due to the smell, people without physiological needs avoid it, so it is not suitable for food business.
This place was once a large shop, with three floors. However, due to poor management, it had closed down for many years, and the property rights had reverted to the lord. Now it was considered Andre's property, and he could directly renovate and use it without paying rent.
The trolls sent two craftsmen to work hard to renovate the store and build a new stone oven.
This oven is much more powerful than the bread oven that Andre built. It uses open flames for direct baking, so grilling meat, pizza, and bread are all no problem. It has strong firepower and fast speed. It takes two hours to bake a pot of bread compared to Jiangyou's, but this one can bake a pot in twenty minutes!
Not only that, the flue of the oven was also adjusted by the troll craftsman. After passing through the wall of the fermentation room, it passed through a small smoking box and finally entered the flue for exhaust.
In this way, the hot smoke will gradually cool down in the long flue, providing heat for the fermentation room and keeping the fermentation room at a suitable fermentation temperature. It doesn’t matter if the temperature is a little high. The trolls have embedded magic ice crystals in the walls. As long as a little magic power is input, the excessively high temperature can be neutralized to keep the temperature constant.
The cooled smoke enters the smoking box and can be used to smoke ham, sausage and chicken. These are common fillings for bread and sandwiches. Smoking them yourself is healthy, delicious and saves costs!
For this reason, the wood used in the oven is hickory and apple wood, which comes from the hunting grounds outside the city and is still a precious gift left by Baron Neumann.
The renovation of the bakery was much faster than building a new restaurant from scratch. In just three days, the skillful troll craftsmen who were good at architectural magic completed the construction including the shelves, and the two upper floors of the bakery were also converted into employee dormitories.
As for the employees, they are naturally the group of veterans and their families brought back by Andre.
These people still underwent magical examinations by the doctors and received health certificates. Among them, those who already had experience in making pasta were selected first and participated in a closed test.
The skeleton prepared ingredients and a workbench for them and taught them how to make bread. The ten best ones were selected to become bakers of this bakery.
In those days, before the invention of automatic dough-kneading kitchen machines or bread machines, delicious bread relied on hand-kneading and a long, natural fermentation process. Making a single batch of bread often took four or five hours, and the shop needed a large quantity. According to Jiangyou's estimate, ten bakers working at full capacity could only produce 20 to 30 batches, barely enough to fill the shelves.
In Huntington's dietary habits, bread is the most common staple. Although people also eat sweet potatoes, oats, and barley porridge, bread is undoubtedly the most consumed food. The soft bread sold by Jiangyou is a product of later generations, with improved kneading, fermentation, and baking techniques. Its deliciousness is incomparable to the hard black bread that can be used as a weapon in an emergency.
