Chapter 351
Old Jack smiled and said, "You can also make sugar. I can tell it's good quality just by the smell."
Zhaxi on the side had swallowed his saliva several times, but the teacher was right in front of him, so he quietly hid the candy in his clothes, planning to eat it when no one was around.
"I wish you a safe journey. We'll meet again in autumn." Yu Sui said with a smile, "By the way, I want to ask, what is a sweet potato?"
"Sweet potatoes," Old Jack laughed heartily. He thought it was natural for a chef to be curious about an ingredient they had never seen before. He answered readily, "It's a vegetable in the human world. Some people eat it as a staple food. It tastes similar to sweet potatoes, but is sweeter. It's also great for desserts."
The more he listened, the more excited he became. Yu Sui said doubtfully, "But there are no sweet potatoes in your kitchen..."
Old Jack glanced at the main tent not far away and curled his lips. "That's right, Loft. When I was at sea, I had to eat sweet potato pie and sweet potato pudding every day. I ate them all before I even got here. If you're interested, I'll bring you some next time I come."
"Actually, apart from its taste, I mainly heard that sweet potatoes have a high yield, so I wanted to ask you." Yu Sui said.
After pondering for a moment, Old Jack looked up and said, "Sweet potatoes have a high yield and are grown on many farms. However, they also have a drawback. They can only be grown on a piece of land for two years. If they are grown again, the yield will drop significantly and they will also cause serious diseases and insect pests."
He likes to use sweet potatoes to make desserts, so he knows several high-quality sweet potato suppliers and has some knowledge of sweet potato cultivation.
Yu Sui has also heard of this. In fact, it is best not to plant many crops in the same land on the same day. Sweet potatoes are a little more serious than potatoes. When planted for more than three years, trace toxins will be produced in the soil. If they accumulate too much, it will naturally greatly affect the yield.
Old Jack was really thinking about him by being willing to tell him this. Yu Sui said earnestly, "I will pay attention to this. Thank you very much."
As he spoke, he untied a package from his waist and said, "This is a parting gift for you. Thank you for your guidance over the past few days."
He had been very interested in baking before, but he never had the chance to sign up for a course to learn it in detail. He could only take time to watch videos and make them. Except for the simple egg tarts (the egg tart crusts were bought), the others were a mess.
Old Jack made a lot of desserts these days, teaching Tashi while he was at it, explaining all the details in great detail. Worried that Yu would forget them after a few years, he wrote them all down on a parchment scroll.
I heard from Zhaxi secretly that Old Jack has three apprentices, but they are not so lucky. They have to practice making a dessert countless times until they reach a level approved by the teacher before they can learn the next one.
He has been studying under his teacher for more than ten years, following him from childhood to now, and has only learned to make a dozen desserts and a few dishes.
Old Jack gained a lot of inspiration from Yu Sui, so he was particularly tolerant and generous.
Yu Sui was very grateful for this, although he only wanted to improve the meals for himself and his tribesmen after learning it, but for humans, this was a dessert researched by high-level chefs, and the recipe for each dessert was very valuable, which showed that Old Jack was really good to him.
In return, he begged Uncle Robert to make a few magic-powered egg beaters. In addition to giving one to Old Jack, he also kept one for himself and would use it to make snacks frequently in the future.
Beating egg whites is not an easy job for humans, and poor Tashi's biceps are extremely well-developed.
Let's bring some small reforms to the human world. Although the egg beater is just a small gadget, it can bring great convenience.
Uncle Robert had made him a crusher before. Compared to that, the egg beater was much simpler. He only needed to embed a second-level wind magic core in the magic circle above to drive it many times.
Yu Sui had used this thing before, but even though he tried many times, he still couldn't master the degree of beating the egg whites. Whether they were big or small, it gave him a headache just thinking about it.
However, he still remembered the structure of the egg beater and the shape of the wide double rods that could be installed on the top, and he described it to Uncle Robert in detail.
Rob's forging skills are among the best in the Tu tribe, so this difficulty is naturally not a problem for him. He made several for Yu Sui at once, just like making toys.
Yu Sui installed the wide double sticks and pressed the switch. The magic circle was activated and flashed with blue light, and the egg beater in his hand began to spin rapidly.
He pointed to the buttons on top and said to Old Jack and Tashi, "The top one is for fast rotation, the middle one is for slow speed, and the bottom one is for pause."
Just as I was about to ask what this was used for, Old Jack had already seen through it, his eyes widening in surprise. "God of Light, could this be used to beat egg whites?"
"As expected of a senior chef, you can tell at a glance. Yes, this is an egg beater forged by the dwarves of our tribe. You won't have to spend so much effort when making desserts in the future." Yu Sui flattered him with a smile.
The one who was even more excited than old Jack was Zhaxi. He stared at the egg beater with surging emotions, thinking that he would never have to use a silver stick to stir the egg whites again. This was really great!
Obviously, Yu Sui's gift touched the hearts of both the master and the apprentice. Old Jack asked his apprentice to accept the gift and patted Yu Sui's shoulder lovingly.
"I never thought I'd meet such a talented orc like you in the Fantasy Continent. If you were a human, I would definitely take you in as my apprentice."
Many people in the capital are eager to become his apprentices, but Old Jack has very strict requirements for apprentices. So far, he has only four apprentices, which is completely different from other high-level chefs who have many disciples.
If other humans heard him say this, they would know what a high praise and recognition this was.
…
After seeing off the Xilen caravan, the Heitu tribe returned with a full load. The most important spices were also replenished. The canteen had used up all the spices, and recently they had to rely on wild onions to remove the fishy smell from the meat they cooked.
Yu Sui also exchanged a lot of cotton cloth, which was also undyed. Although he exchanged white wine for a lot of gold coins this time, he was used to being frugal. Those dyed cotton cloths were more than ten times more expensive than pure white cotton cloths, and he felt it was not worth it.
Haven’t the tribesmen recently liked to draw their own patterns on their clothes? This is perfect, just let them do what they want. Yu Sui found a plausible excuse for his stinginess.
Although he had mastered the method of refining salt, in order to conceal his tracks, Yu Sui still exchanged some salt with the caravan, but the amount he exchanged was much less than in previous years.
The Duke's son Hawke also followed him to the Black Tu tribe and lived in the newly built house.
Hawke came here to avoid being hunted, and he didn't bring any servants with him.
