Elf Farmer

The aroma of the grilled fish made Liat forget about the old mayor's fishing skills. She and little Ella both stood by the barbecue grill, watching eagerly the old mayor's actions.

The little old man smiled and took away the shriveled red fruit that was pressed on the leaves. He opened the leaves layer by layer and turned completely red. Then he popped out his sharp nails and gently opened the dried fruits that had been baked into hard pieces. shell of sea salt——

As the thick layer of sea salt shell slowly cracked, the grilled until browned fish meat was exposed in the air. The rich and sweet and sour barbecue aroma spread quickly like a bomb explosion. Liat was caught off guard and let out a cry. A loud slurping sound.

I was a little embarrassed, but when I came to my senses, Liat still couldn't help but licked her lips - although it smelled sour and sweet, it really smelled good!

Little Ella took out a few broad green leaves from the big basket and distributed them one by one like a little adult: "Be careful of burning your hands. Use the leaves to cushion them before handling."

Liat thanked her. When she took the cool and flexible blade, the old mayor had already picked up the fish meat with the blade, took out the wooden skewer and started eating. Liat noticed that he was biting into the grilled fish. He would also take a bite of the leaves rolled in his hands, which filled Liat's head with questions.

Little Ella explained to Liat in a sweet voice: "These leaves can also be eaten. They are used to relieve tiredness."

"Oh oh oh!" Liat felt like a stupid roe deer - he didn't understand much, and everything was new.

She imitated them and rolled the leaves into a cone shape, picked up the fish pieces, took out the wooden skewers and put them aside, took a bite of the grilled fish and then a leaf, and ate it deliciously.

The grilled fish is obviously buried in sea salt, but it doesn't taste salty at all. Instead, it has a sweet and sour taste that makes your mouth water.The fish skin is crispy, the fish meat is tender, and even the fish bones are grilled until crispy. It tastes fresh and fragrant.

When Liat opened her mouth wide and took a big bite of the leaves and fish meat, the delicate and rich fish meat on the tip of her tongue combined with the tender and refreshing sweet leaves between her lips and teeth made her squint her eyes while eating. While chewing with satisfaction, she sighed happily, and secretly made up her mind - she would never drink recovery potions again!She must eat well, after all there are so many delicious foods!

The fish was caught, the grilled fish was eaten, and the matter was finally discussed. After helping the old mayor and little Ella put away the barbecue grill and other things in the fragrant smell of grilled fish, Liat and The old mayor said goodbye - she was going to the furniture store to buy furniture.

Before Liat left, the old mayor forced a fishing rod and a fish bucket to Liat: "I see that you are very talented in fishing, so I will give you this fishing rod and fish bucket." , you can come and fish with me when you have time!"

Little Ella shrugged unsurprisingly: "Grandpa, you can't catch fish, so my sister doesn't want to fish with you."

Unaware of the heart-wrenching words she said, the little girl happily waved her hands to the two adults: "I'm going to play with Nunnally, and I won't play with you!"

Little Ella turned around and ran away. Under the resentful gaze of the old mayor, Liat finally nodded.

Stuffing the fishing rod and fish bucket into the storage ring, Liat slowly walked through the small square and walked towards the furniture store.

It seems that Granny Hannah hasn't come back from the city yet. The tailor shop under the flower branches is still closed, but the previously closed door of the furniture store next to it is now wide open. Liat can see the things in the yard from a distance. The wood was piled into hills.

An orc boy from the giant squirrel tribe was wandering back and forth in the yard with his big tail raised. He wore a pair of stain-resistant gray-black work clothes and black gloves while pushing a small ginger cart. Full of large and small tin cans.Liat could see him grabbing a handful of something from the jar and throwing it out from time to time. It seemed like he was doing simple processing of the wood in the yard.

Under the bright sunlight, the big tail behind the boy looked particularly fluffy and soft, making people's gaze soften unconsciously.

Liat jogged happily for two steps. She walked to the door of the furniture store and opened her mouth to say hello, when an orc uncle came out of the house dragging a few logs.

The orc uncle was also wearing gray-black overalls and black gloves. He also carried a stuffed tool bag on his waist. When he saw Liat, he showed a hearty smile: "Is it the magician Liat? Alberto, the magic wood we brought back is still in the backyard, please wait a moment."

He called his son: "Atwood, you go to the backyard and move those magic logs over first. You can deal with them later."

The young man named Atwood responded, smiled shyly at Liat, and went to the backyard.Liat thanked him quickly, and the carpenter uncle waved his hand. He didn't seem surprised by Liat's arrival. After asking his son to move the magic wood in the backyard, he piled the logs in his hand on the open space and called to Liat. Entered the store.

The rooms on the first floor of the furniture store have all been opened up, and furniture of different styles and styles are displayed in categories.After entering the store, Liat was dazzled by the dazzling array of furniture in the room. She was about to ask the carpenter uncle to recommend several beds to her, when she heard the carpenter uncle say——

"These furniture are still too complicated for you. We have to start with the basics first. But since you are a magician, you can take a look at this booklet. This was given to me by your grandmother."

Liat's heart skipped a beat when she heard the last word. She turned her attention to the booklet that the carpenter uncle brought over and said in a weak tone, "My grandma?"

The carpenter uncle nodded: "Aunt Margaret asked me to teach you how to make furniture. I only received the letter two days ago. This booklet was also given to me by Aunt Margaret. She gave it to me a long time ago. She has a very good taste! The furniture in the brochure has always sold well, especially these models——"

He opened the book and wanted to show it to Liat, but Liat had to interrupt him. Her tone was so exaggerated that she sounded like she was using an opera aria:

"I'm sorry, uncle, I need to buy some furniture first. My house is now empty - empty - empty - empty - empty - it's as if someone has just been stingy enough to bring a stinky sock and a rotten nail. The gang of robbers who left has plundered it! I need a bed, a table, and a chair. There is nothing in my room now - nothing - nothing - let me buy some furniture first, uncle! "

The carpenter uncle was amused by her. He laughed and closed the picture album: "Is it Aunt Margaret? Didn't she tell you about this?"

Liat made a sad face: "I feel now that grandma didn't tell me anything."

The carpenter uncle laughed, put away the picture album, and introduced the furniture in the shop to Liat.

However, the carpenter uncle also said that he did not recommend that Liat buy furniture directly. On the one hand, the size of the furniture may not be suitable for Liat, who is now an elf. There are quite abundant wood resources in the forest, and the furniture of the townspeople is almost all made by themselves.As for the customized furniture that furniture stores undertake, they basically come from orders placed by people in the city.

Liat is still very interested in making furniture by himself - he can customize the furniture completely according to his own preferences, which makes people feel very happy just thinking about it.

Therefore, in response to the sincere suggestion of the carpenter uncle, Liat could only say with the same sincerity: "Uncle, I can wait until I learn how to make other furniture by myself, but not the bed. I have to buy a bed today, otherwise I will I have to sleep on the floor.”

The carpenter uncle didn't agree very much: "Bedding is the most basic. The first furniture I am going to teach you to make is a bed. Isn't it a waste of money if you buy a bed now? Besides, the size is not suitable. The basics of placing an order here are They’re all small orcs.”

He thought for a while and said: "You take a look at the styles of these beds here and choose the one you like. I will teach you later. I will first find you a magic tent. Atwood likes camping. I remember this There are several on the side.”

Before Liat could speak, the carpenter uncle went to find the magic tent resolutely, and soon the voices of the father and son came from the yard:

"Atwood, is your unused magic tent here? Help me find it."

"Everything here is what I have used. I put the new magic tent I bought in the basement. Dad, are you willing to go camping with me?"

"Liat needs to borrow it. Her house doesn't even have a bed now. What's the point of camping? I'll take you hunting when I'm free!"

"...Dad, go to the basement to get the magic tent, and I'll give the magic wood to the magician."

The boy with animal ears and a big tail came in holding a space stone - the space stone he held in his arms was quite large. This was the first time Liat had seen a space stone as big as a football.

"The magic wood is placed in this space stone." Atwood said with a smile. He put the space stone in his hand on the model table next to Liat.

"Just call me Liat. How much magic wood did Alvi find for me?" Liat looked at this huge space stone and felt like his head was getting bigger.

Magic wood needs to be processed before being stored. If it is all piled up together, the fluctuations of magic elements with different properties will interfere with each other, so the quality of the magic wood itself will be affected. In serious cases, the magic wood will be destroyed. Ruined.

Atwood seemed to see Liat's worry, and he said, "It's a beautiful piece of blue pine wood."

Liat used his mental power to take a look and found that the magic wood stored in the space stone was indeed a piece of blue pine wood - yes, there was only one piece, at most ten inches long and three inches wide.

The size of the space stone is directly proportional to the size of its internal space. Looking at the lonely wooden block inside the space stone, and then at the round and large space stone on the table, Liat was a little confused - Al Didn't Wei say he found wood for making magic furniture? What kind of furniture can be made from such a small piece of wood?Besides, blue pine is not suitable for magic furniture, right?

"Alvy first asked me to help him find wood for making magic furniture, but then changed his mind and asked me to help him find wood that can be used to make magic wands. Blue pine can be used, right? Magician?" Atwood asked aloud. .

Now Liat understood. It is estimated that Alvi looked for someone else after talking to her on the phone, so what he finally brought back was wood suitable for making magic wands - blue pine wood is suitable for general use because of its gentle and quiet quality. Very high wand material.

"It can be used, it can be used." Liat said quickly. She thought of something and her face was a little strange: "Um, how much did this piece of blue pine wood cost Alvey?"

Atwood faked a cough and didn't know whether he should say it. Considering that the magician in front of him would know sooner or later, he moved his eyes and looked at the ceiling: "It probably cost him three months' salary."
