MC's career as foreign lord

"Mosa, you can start learning how to pan-fry tea!" Zhou Ren gave Mosa a set of tea leaves. He had two woks, both placed in this production room, making them easy to use.

There are two ways to dry tea leaves: sun-drying and pan-frying. Pan-frying requires enough patience to wait and flip the leaves, making it perfect for Mosa.

After about an hour of continuous stir-frying of fresh green tea leaves in the wok, they will turn into dried green tea leaves, which are ordinary green tea leaves!

Zhou Ren, on the other hand, was preparing to make green tea using another method… sun-drying!

He put the remaining tea leaves in a box and started running towards the warehouse.

Mosa was meticulous and organized, so all the tools and materials were prepared, and Zhou Ren didn't need to run back and forth to get them. He felt that hiring such a great housekeeper was worth it.

Although Mosa still had some things he didn't understand, it was because he hadn't practiced often enough. Zhou Ren was generally very satisfied and went out to get some wood.

The most crucial point of sun-drying tea is the sun, and the design of this tea-making house clearly took this into account. There was a simple staircase leading to the second floor, which had a semi-open design.

One half was covered with a roof, while the other half was not. This was naturally for sun-drying and fermentation to take place simultaneously. As for the sun-drying tools, they were the tea winnowing baskets, a very distinctive feature of Tea Wind.

The author of Tea Wind is very thoughtful, even dedicated, in spreading the culture of the Chinese world, whether it's the rice or the tea now, it's all very realistic.

As for the making of tea winnowing baskets, it's very simple. Five wooden sticks and four wooden boards can be synthesized on the workbench. Zhou Ren synthesized eight of them in one go and placed them side by side on the open-air rooftop.

The set of fresh green tea leaves in his hand was evenly divided into eight portions, that is, eight leaves per portion, just right for the optimal upper limit of tea leaf sun-drying and fermentation. Now, he just needed to wait quietly for half a day to get dried green tea leaves.

But Zhou Ren didn't plan to wait like that. The tea leaves at Mosa's place should be faster. He now needed to make teacups, teapots, and water jugs.

The most important things to make, of course, were Zisha (purple clay) and white porcelain. Zisha was used to make Zisha teapots and Zisha bowls, while white porcelain was not used to make teapots and bowls, but as an upgrade material for water jugs.

Besides clay, the most important thing for preparing Zisha is actually red sand and sandy soil.

Sandy soil is easy to obtain. After synthesizing two soils and two gravels, you can get four sandy soils. Place four clays in the corners, put red sand in the middle, and put sandy soil on the other four sides, and a Zisha clay is synthesized!

There was no need to make too much now. Zhou Ren only synthesized more than a dozen Zisha clays, and then used six Zisha clays to synthesize a Zisha teapot blank in his hand.

Then, he used four clays to synthesize clay blocks. Three clay blocks plus two Zisha clays can synthesize a Zisha cup blank.

The Zisha teapot and Zisha cup were thrown into the furnace separately. They would be calcined and formed in the furnace, and then become exquisite and smooth Zisha sets.

Next was the water jug. In fact, the water jug was different from the other two items. It was a small, different-dimensional water storage device.

Rather than upgrading, it was more like a special material enchantment. The initial stone jug could only hold water twice, but the upgraded Zisha jug could hold water sixteen times!

What is this if not enchantment?

The initial stone jug was very simple, just a stone base and four cobblestones as the body, and it could be made.

Then came the upgrade. Still with the stone jug in the middle, an iron block as the base, and four iron ingots as the body, the stone jug was upgraded to an iron jug.

Upgrading the iron jug to a white porcelain jug required five clay blocks, which Zhou Ren happened to have enough of, but this time it was not a simple white porcelain jug, but a white porcelain jug blank.

This also needed to be calcined, and the two Zisha sets in the furnace were ready. Zhou Ren was not idle either, and continued to make two wooden teacups and glass teacups.

These two were the level one and level two cups. The making method was also simple, the same placement method as Zisha, the only difference was the material.

Zisha cups were clay and Zisha, glass cups were glass and glass panels, and wooden cups were wooden boards and wooden sticks. Neither of these two cups required the trouble of firing, and the white porcelain kettle on the other side was also ready.

"Master, here are the tea leaves!" Mosa also brought over a set of dried green tea leaves that he had stir-fried, watching Zhou Ren use five Zisha clays to make the Zisha water jug blank and put it into the furnace.

"Got it!" Zhou Ren nodded, took out thread and paper from the box. Five sheets of paper were placed on the workbench in a U-shape, and then a silk thread was placed on top. This was an empty tea bag!

He only stopped after making eight in a row. At this time, Mosa had also taken the Zisha water jug out of the furnace. This time it was the boiling water and tea making stage!

He also made a stone jug, a white porcelain kettle, and a wooden teacup, placed them side by side on the workbench, and then placed a row of wooden boards underneath to get a tea-making table.

This was a very orthodox Chinese tea-making table, with cups, teapots, and water jugs on it. It looked like a very realistic tool.

Zhou Ren scooped water into the Zisha water jug and then put it into the stove to boil. "Mosa, help me take it out later!"

He took the finished tea-making table and walked out, put the tea-making tool on the table, and put the teapot and tea bowls in place, waiting for the water jug to arrive!

"Master." Mosa handed over the water jug. For him, this was also a particularly novel experience, especially such a pure alien aesthetic.

This world does not have Eastern culture. Although there are black-haired races similar to Roman nobles, there is indeed no pure Eastern culture.

So everything Zhou Ren showed was actually a particularly novel experience!

Zhou Ren took the water jug, poured the water into the teapot, and put in eight tea bags, "Wait! We can drink green tea in a while!"

He thought for a while and put away the filled teapot, making a few more wooden teacups. "Let's go, let's go receive the house first, and then drink tea in the house to celebrate this housewarming!"

The two of them had a hasty lunch in the house. Mosa was very active in eating now. He always had many mysterious stews prepared. His originally somewhat empty and stern body was gradually becoming natural and strong.

If he didn't say it, it was estimated that no one could judge that there was actually a lich hidden in such an elf body!

Zhou Ren walked on the road, put on his iron armor, and then disappeared. "Mosa, has anything big happened in the town these past two days?"

Mosa thought for a while and said, "Val City will send a large number of people to enter here. This place will become the main battlefield of the North Wind Wasteland. I don't know if this counts?"

"The main battlefield? Here? Why?" Zhou Ren was very curious. He clearly remembered that this was just a corner of the North Wind Wasteland.

Mossa explained, "I heard that… all the towns in the wasteland have been captured, leaving only us!"

Zhou Ren smiled and said, "In other words, if it weren't for you that night, Pine Leaf Town wouldn't have been spared, right?"

"I'm afraid that's the case," Mossa nodded, "But the master's will is the direction I execute!"

"No need to say that, I also hope there's a town here, so there's a place to trade!" Zhou Ren said with a smile, as they passed through rows of tents. There were clearly more people in the town now.

Some people with tattered equipment but high morale walked into the defense line, seemingly rotating with the troops here, but when they came out of the wall, they were already fully equipped.

"It seems that Val City's material support is really huge!" Zhou Ren exclaimed. Soldiers changing clothes represented huge financial resources.

It's not hard to guess that these blood-stained soldiers should have come from those captured towns, and some mercenaries who rushed over, covered in dust, seemed to confirm this.

"Hurry up and move your families here!" they said, "This will become a complete war zone, and the transformation of the front line has already begun!"

Zhou Ren followed their gaze, and there were teams of things that looked like construction puppets, slowly moving some war equipment and building materials.

"It seems we are fortunate enough to witness a war belonging to the elves!" Zhou Ren said.

Mossa added from the side, "It should be a war between a piece of land of the elves and a dragon!"

Zhou Ren said curiously, "Isn't Anna a dragon? Can't she be asked to negotiate? Or is there some difference between dragons?"

He occasionally heard conversations between Anna and Shea, but he didn't have a systematic understanding, and he wasn't very clear about the relationship between these big guys.

"Well, specifically, this should be a green dragon!" Mossa said, "According to the conditions you mentioned before, two-headed giants generally only follow orcs or green dragons!"

"But orcs don't often launch challenges in the Northern Wind Border, unless there is no Northern Wind."

"So this should be a green dragon, and judging from the elves' fanfare, it's probably an ancient green dragon!" Mossa said his judgment, "This is the manpower and material resources to fight a local war!"

"Is a dragon such a big threat?" Zhou Ren inexplicably thought of the Ender Dragon, feeling like it was just so-so. Oh, his enemy is Steve, then it's okay.

No wonder the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Although he couldn't experience the madness of war, such an aura of blood and fire still permeated the air.

Zhou Ren and Mossa continued to move forward. Although he didn't often go out, both of them were wearing wide mage robes, but not many people were really stupid enough to come and block their way. It seemed that there were no brainless villains in this world!

Continuing along the road, the two saw Henry waiting at the entrance of the town. "Master, you're finally here! Please follow me!"

Zhou Ren nodded and continued to follow Mossa, while asking casually, "Henry, have you heard the news from Val City?"

"Are you talking about the new news of the war coming?" Henry said, nodding, "The mayor has posted notices all over the town, of course we can see them."

"Then are you planning to leave?" Zhou Ren asked again, testing ordinary people's attitudes towards war.

Henry shook his head, "I have entrusted my wife and children to family members in the city, but I don't plan to leave. The town needs many people to operate, and I need to guide many newcomers!"

"After all, this is our home. I don't want to run unless it's absolutely necessary!" Henry continued, "Master, your place is here. The scribe should be waiting for you inside to sign!"

Zhou Ren nodded. This town had a high degree of cohesion. In ancient Chinese terms, it meant that the people's hearts were available?

He walked into the town hall, which was obviously much livelier than before. Mossa followed behind Zhou Ren, and his natural domain unfolded, slowly pushing away all the people blocking Zhou Ren's path.

These people were at most intermediate professionals. Although some were confused, they didn't notice it. Only one person silently raised his head…

Oster Nairo initially didn't want to come. As a bloodline warlock with a famous talent, he had countless things he wanted to do.

But as a member of the elves, especially a member of the Nairo family, which came from a warlock family in the elves that was more inclined to the lawful camp, he also knew that he must take on his responsibilities.

So he came to Pine Leaf Town, saw Mayor Locke, who had advanced to a high level, learned about the other two colleagues who were on their way, as well as the news of the imperial princess and the silver dragon Anna, and finally had a hint of certainty in his eyes.

With so many high-level people plus the great druid who is about to arrive, it may not be impossible to win!

What's more, coming from a high-level family, he knew certain secrets. Since Her Royal Highness is here, it also means that the elves are indeed going to use that trump card!

But these are not the key. The things he was thinking about just now seemed to be completely acquired in an instant! It was as if someone had completely intercepted his thoughts, making him feel a burst of panic!

The people around him didn't know, but he knew that this ability was actually one of the authorities of a legendary mage! This represents the lower level of omniscience, that is, the ability of complete knowledge!

He raised his head and saw Zhou Ren, who was separating the crowd and walking in slowly, and also saw the elven elder with a cold gaze but like thunder!

In fact, elves rarely have elders. Except for those who are nearing the end of their lives, there are only incarnations of gods, so every elderly elf is not easy to mess with. This sentence is actually true!

He keenly realized that the aura came from this elven elder, and the human youth in front of him looked unusually harmless.

"Excuse me!" The young man in front of him smiled gently, "Is the scribe here now?"

The elven lady at the front desk quickly said, "The scribe is in the mayor's room. If you want to go, I can lead the way!"

"Then that would be troublesome!" Zhou Ren continued, glanced at the handsome male elven mage who was standing still next to him, and then followed.

Until the three disappeared at the corner of the room, Oster gasped for breath before breaking free from the imprisoned state.

"Legend! This must be a legend!" He roared in his heart!
