Chapter 18

Jiang Li knew nothing about the other world.

Compared to the popular pork with preserved vegetables, he had more important things to do at the moment.

He was going to try to use magic.

After this period of hard work, Jiang Li had mastered most of the texts in the other world, and had read the basic theory of magic, and had a general understanding of magic.

According to the book, there are magic elements in every corner of the world, and magicians can absorb magic elements for their own use. It was only after reading the basic theory that Jiang Li learned to sense the flow of magic in the air. According to Jiang Li's observation, there is no magic on the earth where he grew up. After he walked out of the supermarket, he could not sense any magic elements.

The only place on the entire earth with magic elements is his supermarket that can travel between the two worlds.

Therefore, Jiang Li's first attempt to use magic was also in his supermarket.

There were few customers in the supermarket in the afternoon, and there were not even a few pedestrians on the street. A big orange dog was lazily lying in the doorway to bask in the sun.

Jiang Li found a magic spell suitable for novices in the magic book. He searched around the house and found a pot of green plants.

The green plant was a pot of small succulents, which was the common property of the university dormitory. It was given to Jiang Li when he graduated, and he took it all the way back to his hometown. I don’t know if it was because of the climate and soil, but after raising it at home for a period of time, the small succulent became wilted, and the plump and cute leaves also lost moisture.

The magic that Jiang Li tried to use was a magic that could promote plant growth.

It’s not that fireballs and water balls are too difficult, but it’s just not easy to perform in a supermarket.

Jiang Li held the book in one hand and placed the other hand on the green plant. According to the instructions in the magic book, he slowly mobilized the magic power in his body, concentrated it in his palm, and then released it...

Just like when he was taking the test at the door of the Magic Association before, he felt his palms getting hot, as if something had left his body. At the same time, it was visible to the naked eye that the green plants under his hands immediately became energetic, and the leaves that were originally dry and withered became full of water and revived.

Success!

Jiang Li was delighted, stopped the magic power transmission, and retracted his hand. Unexpectedly,

the first experiment was so successful, which made Jiang Li full of confidence. Looking at the basic magic that was left in the book, he was suddenly full of enthusiasm for learning. You know, there are many small magics that can bring convenience to daily life, such as flying magic. If it acts on an object, he can get the distant objects by standing still.

However, according to the explanation in the magic book, this kind of small magic does not require too much magic power. Jiang Li tried it once, but he obviously felt that the magic power in his body has decreased a lot.

Maybe it's because he is a novice, so there is not much magic power in his body?

Or is it because there are too few magic elements around him on Earth?

While thinking, he suddenly heard a "click". Jiang Li subconsciously looked down following the sound, but found that the growth of the green plants did not stop.

The little succulent not only regained its vitality, but also grew a lot of new leaves, which grew more and more, bigger and bigger, with layers of leaves overlapping and squeezing each other until the flowerpot could no longer hold its body. The increasingly strong roots squeezed out cracks and turned it into a pile of broken porcelain pieces. The succulent, without restraint, grew faster, bigger, and taller. It soon surpassed Jiangli and stopped growing until it touched the ceiling. The

original small pot of green plants turned into a "succulent tree" in a blink of an eye, with densely packed leaves squeezed together. The originally round, moist and cute leaves looked a bit claustrophobic after growing millions and tens of thousands of times more.

Jiang Li looked outside almost reflexively, and through the glass door, he made eye contact with a big orange dog with its fur standing on end in fear.

Fortunately, there was no one outside, and no one noticed the accident that happened here.

...

It seems that he really needs to find a teacher for himself.

Jiang Li was still thinking about this until he got up the next day.

But finding a teacher is not easy. As mentioned before, because of what happened at the door of the Magic Association, the residents of Dore City have had strange misunderstandings about him. After counting the magicians in the entire Dore City, I am afraid that no one would be willing to be his teacher. And Jiang Li could not contact people outside Dore City.

Before this, he only dared to try some completely harmless magic.

Jiang Li moved the succulent tree to the door, then turned over the hourglass and went to another world.

He planned to put the succulents in another world. After all, there were so many strange animals and plants in another world, so one more wouldn't matter...

"It appeared! It appeared!"

"Boss Jiang Li!"

"Give me the food that Chris ate yesterday! The more the better!"

Jiang Li was startled by the sudden noise. When he looked up, he saw that the glass door was crowded with people, and it was back to the time when he was selling instant noodles. As soon

as the supermarket door opened, the adventurers swarmed in, swarmed to the freezer, and snatched up the few pre-prepared dishes in it. The rest of the people were a step slower and could only stare at the empty grid.

"Boss Jiang Li, don't you have more stock?"

"No." Jiang Li hurriedly collected the money: "I only bought these goods."

"What?!"

The people who didn't buy anything at the back were disappointed: "Such delicious food, how come there is only a little bit?"

"I didn't get it yesterday at noon, and I didn't get it now. When can I eat the food that is rumored to be more delicious than instant noodles!" "

Damn, Chris is really lucky."

The people who ran fast and got the goods were very proud. After paying the bill, they couldn't wait to taste the delicious new food. The people who didn't get anything unwillingly walked around the supermarket twice and took away a lot of goods. After

sending off this wave of customers, Jiang Li finally waited for Chris and others.

Before they even entered the supermarket, they were already exclaiming: "Oh my god, Mr. Jiang Li, what kind of magical plant is that at the entrance of your store?!"

Jiang Li looked at his "little" succulent through the glass: "..."

He found the largest flower pot to place this succulent "tree". It's not an exaggeration to call it a tree. It has grown vertically and is taller than a person. It has become a conspicuous landmark on the shopping street.

I don't know if it's because of the magic power that it looks more energetic after arriving in the other world.

"An ornamental plant." Jiang Li said, "It's not dangerous."

"What a strange magical plant. I've never seen such a plant in Lalan Continent."

"But more importantly... Boss Jiang Li, do you still have the food you sold us yesterday?" Irene asked expectantly.

Jiang Li spread his hands: "No, it was taken away before you came."

Chris and others sighed in disappointment.

"It's all your fault, Chris. I said we shouldn't have left the city yesterday."

"That's right, you insisted on getting back before dark, and we encountered a magical beast and had to sleep outside the city."

"I really want to taste the food called Meicai Kourou again..." Irene said with longing: "Especially when paired with bread, it's really delicious."

As she spoke, the other companions also recalled the taste and showed the same longing.

"???" Jiang Li couldn't help but interrupt: "What to pair with it?!"

Chris and others said in unison: "Bread!"

"We discovered this later. Dip the bread in the sauce of pork with preserved vegetables. The aroma of wheat and the salty taste of pork with preserved vegetables are combined. The combination of these two seemingly unrelated foods is incomparably delicious."

"Yes, before this, I thought jam was the most suitable for bread, but I didn't expect that the salty taste is also good!"

"If a bakery launches a bread stuffed with pork with preserved vegetables, it will definitely be very popular!"

Chris and his companions discussed it with great interest.

Jiang Li: ??? ??? !!

A Chinese was furious!

"Nonsense, nonsense!" Jiang Li retorted loudly: "The best food for pork with preserved vegetables is rice!"

"Rice?"

The humans in the other world all showed confused expressions: "What is that?"

Jiang Li: "..."

I almost forgot that the staple food in the other world is bread, and there is no such thing as rice.

But Jiang Li's supermarket has it!

As a small convenience supermarket, how can there be no rice, flour, grain and oil for sale?

However, there is only rice, flour, grain and oil, but no crucial pork with preserved vegetables, what should I do?

He went to the shelf and picked up a five-pound bag of rice, and went to other shelves to get dried goods such as sausage and mushrooms, as well as some seasonings. After returning to the cashier, he met the clear and blank eyes of the humans from the other world, and Jiang Li said solemnly: "Mr. Chris, let me teach you a recipe!"

Chris and others: "...Huh?"

...

Chris's guy is making delicious food in the hotel yard again! The

first thing that attracted people was the rich aroma of rice. Although the humans from the other world had never smelled this kind of fragrance, they felt warm and at ease from it for no reason.

They followed the fragrance and soon, the rice fragrance was mixed with the strange aroma of meat and vegetables.

So, before the rice was out of the pot, the yard was full of people.

The closer you are, the more obvious the aroma is, coming out from the gaps in the pot lid and entering everyone's nose.

Everyone holds their own bowls, impatiently: "Chris, is it ready?"

"It smells so good, can we eat it now?"

Chris is also swallowing his saliva, but he remembers the supermarket owner's instructions, staring at the pot without blinking, counting the time in his heart: "Wait a little longer, just a little longer."

After finally waiting for the time the supermarket owner said, he can't wait to lift the pot lid and block the hands of others who stretched out: "Wait, there is only one step left!"

He picked up the small bowl and poured the black sauce that had been prepared long ago into it, and then it was the last step of the recipe, using a large spoon to mix the rice in the pot with other ingredients and the sauce and stir evenly.

After finishing, Chris first filled a big bowl for himself. He scooped up a spoonful of braised rice and put it into his mouth with expectation.

...Oh my God! How to describe this fragrance!

The thinly sliced ​​​​braised intestines are greasy, the corn is sweet, the peas are soft, and the dried and soaked mushrooms bring out the taste of mushrooms to the extreme. But the most amazing thing is not the meat and other vegetables, but the food called rice that I have never eaten before. It absorbs the oil and fragrance of other ingredients, and each grain is full and tastes very soft. It is paired with the sauce prepared according to the recipe... After taking a bite, it seems that an invisible volcano erupts in my mind, and the aroma of braised rice with broccoli is all erupting.

Fragrant! It smells so good!

Chris ate without even looking up his head, not even having time to say a word. He quickly finished the first bowl and served himself a second bowl before the others could react.

Since it was his first time making it, even though he had a recipe, he still couldn't get the heat right, causing the rice at the bottom to get burnt. But even the burnt part was shared out cleanly.

The burnt part not only didn't have the bitter taste that people imagine, but it was a bit hard to eat, but the aroma was even more outstanding.

It's worthy of the recommendation of the supermarket owner!

It's really delicious!

They had seen this food called rice on the shelves many times, so why hadn't they tried it once?

Looking at the clean pot that was divided up, everyone was still wondering, "

How many more delicacies are there in Mr. Jiang Li's shop that they have never seen before?"
