Ella soon saw her custom-made stone mill.

Because it was the first production and for personal use, Ella did not ask the mason to make them very large, but made the upper cylindrical grinding disc with a diameter of about 25 cm, the lower grinding disc with grooves, and the middle diameter and upper grinding disc.It is a small stone mill that is the same as a piece of wood, but with grooves about 35 centimeters in size. This size is enough for a person to sit and shake it by hand.

The small stone mill was placed on a platform built of stones. The slurry outlet below was suspended outside the platform, and an open clay pot was placed below it, which happened to be at a height that could be operated without bending over.

In addition to the stone mill, the steward also specially prepared a small bag of shelled wheat, and was going to grind it by himself, so that Ella could see the effect.

This thing was made by Ella, so after knowing about it, the manager has been paying close attention to it, and specially sent a few people to help the stonemason. After the stone mill was finished and he actually operated it, he understood this.How useful this thing is.

The fine flour without a trace of grain that was ground in an instant is definitely the best flour he has ever seen. If bread made with this kind of flour, even His Majesty will be amazed at its fineness and softness.Bar.

Originally, the steward planned to report the matter to the king after the princess's acceptance. For this reason, he even asked experienced stonemasons to make a bigger one. Unexpectedly, the king came here in person now, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.

——The steward never thought that Lucis would come here just because he wanted to get along with Ayla. In fact, no one told him about it. Maybe Tetis thought about it, but she is now following Ayla.With the fact that she had made mistakes before, she naturally did not dare to bother His Majesty by reporting these trivial matters that she thought were just insignificant without the king asking.

But now that the king was in front of him, the steward naturally wanted to show off even more. After asking for instructions, he began to grind the wheat by himself.

The husked wheat is stuffed into the upper grinding eye, and the fine flour falls from the middle of the two grinding discs into the groove at the bottom as the grinding disc is turned by the hand.Sweeping the flour in the groove into the clay pot, earnestly as if doing a serious thing.

When Lucis saw the flour overflowing from the edge of the millstone, he realized the usefulness of the stone mill, and his eyes became serious. He even stepped forward to take a pinch of flour from the stone mill and rubbed it on his fingertips to observe carefully.The fineness of the flour, have already thought of the picture that this kind of stone mill can be used to increase the flour production after the stone mill is made bigger.

How much manpower will this save?

But this stone mill also has shortcomings in Lucis's opinion. The grooves below are redundant. If it is directly replaced with a platform, the collection of flour will be more convenient.

After Ella glanced at the smooth grinding stone mill, she turned her gaze to the iron pot on the side.

Ailadin’s iron pot is an amphora pot with a lid, because the clay pots used by the Sathyas for cooking are all hung on the fire, so she also custom-made a hook, which can be fixedHang the pot on the ears of the iron pot.

Next to the iron pot are wooden shovels, wooden spoons, chopsticks, forks and other kitchen utensils and furniture made by the carpenter. These small objects were the first to be made. Because they are not furniture, Ella asked the carpenter to wait for the iron pot in the working area.do well.

After watching the stone mill, Bruce turned his head and saw Ella fiddling with an iron product.

He stepped forward and asked, "What is this?"

"An iron pot, used for cooking."

Ella wasn't surprised that he didn't know each other. The iron pot she made was very different from the clay pot used by the Sathyas, and with the other's birth, I'm afraid he hadn't even been in the kitchen.

It is true that Lucis has never been in a kitchen, but it is not that he has never seen soldiers cooking food when he was on the expedition. In his opinion, iron pots may be more durable than clay pots, but their cost is too high, and civilians want one at home.It is very difficult to use iron agricultural tools, most of them can only use wooden or stone agricultural tools, and most of the knives used to process food are shell knives ground from shells. I am afraid that onlyElla is gone.

But considering that the other party is a princess, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. If she wants to, she can even make a pot out of gold.

Lucis is not interested in iron pots, he cares more about stone mills.

He ordered some of the stone mills that were still grinding flour, and asked Ella: "Why did you make the bottom into a groove? Wouldn't it be more convenient if it was a platform?"

"That can not only be used to grind flour, but unhulled wheat can also be hulled with a stone mill, and this one can also be used for pulping."

After Ella finished answering, she turned her head and waved to Debbie: "Where are the beans I asked you to take?"

Debbie quickly handed over a small jar that she had been holding in her hand: "Here, Your Highness."

Lucis glanced at the jar and found that there were some chickpeas soaked in clear water and peeled off their skins. These chickpeas had obviously been soaked for a long time, and each one was bulging.

Combining Ella's words, Lucis said: "You want to use this bean for grinding? Why do you want to grind it into a pulp? The taste of the bean is not good."

Lucis spoke a little fast, and Ella looked at Debbie, who immediately understood and translated for her.

Ella: "It's delicious after being ground into a pulp and boiled with some honey. It can also be used to make tofu, but today I can only drink soy milk."

The soy milk made from chickpeas can be solidified directly into a tofu-like solid without adding any coagulant. The taste is very similar to lactone tofu. It tastes soft and fragrant. It is a delicious dessert when served with maple syrup or jam.When La is in the Fairy Forest, he often cooks and eats it, and the fairies like it very much.

However, because there is no coagulant added, the chickpea tofu cannot keep solidifying, and it will melt by itself if it is not eaten for a period of time, so basically it can only be eaten and cooked now.

There are no soybeans in Sathya, and the types of vegetables, fruits and grains today are much inferior to those of later generations. Many common foods in later generations are no longer available, and the beans in Sathya are only chickpeas, peas, and lentils. Among them, peas andChickpeas can be used to make tofu, but this time Ira just wanted to test whether the stone mill works well, so used chickpeas that don't require additives.

Originally, she planned to go to the kitchen to make a piece of chickpea tofu with an iron pot as dessert after grinding the beans, but now that there is an extra King Sathya by her side, it is impossible for Ella to leave him and go to the kitchen to pour these out.So today I only have soy milk to drink.

However, although Sathya does not have soybeans, there are some soybeans in Ella's ring, not only soybeans, but also many vegetables, fruits and medicinal materials that Sathya does not have, and some seeds that she does not know what they are.The seeds were purchased and collected by herself in the past, and those unknown seeds were gifts to her from the animals in the Fairy Forest after they found them in the forest and the surrounding farmland.Come down, the number of miscellaneous seeds in the ring is quite a lot.

She often thinks that if she has the opportunity in the future, she must buy a few pieces of land, then hire someone to plant them, and then sell these agricultural products that are not available here, maybe she can make a small fortune.

Ella wanted to grind soybean milk by herself, but it was impossible for anyone present to let her do it. In the end, the steward who wanted to show off took over and ground a small can of chickpea soybean milk, and then sent someone to bring ironThe pot was sent to the kitchen to boil soybean milk.

The soy milk couldn't be cooked for a while, so Ella stayed in the artisan area, and paid the three artisans as agreed before.

The price was told by Tetis, and Ella added some more as a reward for their early completion, and everyone was allocated a piece of gold of different sizes, even the carpenters who had not completed all the work.

"I am very satisfied with the tables and chairs you sent earlier, I will give you the payment in advance, and please ensure the quality of the rest."

This gold is worth more than food, and commoners who are accustomed to barter rarely get gold. Even if it is just a small piece in front of them, it is enough for them to be excited, but the king is right in front of them, and the artisans dare not reach out to take these.The gold of their eyes gleamed.

Lu Xisi said lightly: "Since it was given by the princess, you can accept it."

The craftsman accepted the gold gratefully.

After paying the salary, Ella originally thought that Lucis would leave, but he stayed where he was, as if he wanted to continue to follow her. Ella thought about it, and simply walked around the craftsmen's work area, wentThe last time she came here, she just glanced at the door and didn't step into it, but now she looked over one by one, and found a lot of good things.

Such as saltpeter for tanning leather.

Ella didn't recognize saltpeter when she saw it. In fact, she didn't know saltpeter. When she saw the cobbler handling goatskin, she suddenly remembered that saltpeter could be used to tan leather, so she asked, and then the cobbler tookA bag of lumpy saltpeter came out.

Aila's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Is there any more stones like this? I want to buy some."

The steward who followed them quickly said that they don't need to buy: "Princess can take as much as she wants, and I'll send someone to get it."

Lucis asked curiously, "What do you want this for?"

"This can..."

Ella wanted to tell him directly, but suddenly it occurred to her that she still owed Lucis something in return.

So the words that came to his lips were swallowed back, and Aila's expression was mysterious.

"I haven't returned the reward from His Majesty before, but this is the key."

When she said that, Lucy's curiosity was piqued again.

Although he couldn't think of any special function of this white stone, even if the other party used it to tan a sheepskin, Lucis seemed to feel a little pleasure after thinking about it?

"Your Majesty invited me to lunch before, why don't I prepare a lunch for you this time, I don't know when you will be free?"

she can cook

A hint of surprise flashed in his dark eyes.

Lucis looked at Ella's confident look, not sure if she could really cook, at least he had never seen any noble woman please him in this way.

But since Ella proposed it herself, Lucis readily agreed.

"If it's you, I have time anytime."
