HP’S PARALLEL WORLDS - Chapter 10
As a person born in a country with a very colorful food culture, the first thought that came to Violet’s mind when she first crossed over to this magical world was not “the magical world is amazing”, but how she should solve her food problem.
“The UK, famous for its fish and chips, is the country with the most unpalatable dishes in the world”, such a judgment, in the era in which Violet lived, has long been widespread and become the consensus of the general public.
Therefore, even when reading the original work, and did not see anything in it such as “stargazing” and other horrible dark cuisine, Violet did not dare to have any expectations and fantasies about the British food.
Having been a free agent in the past and not being able to choose what kind of food she wanted to eat, the first thing Violet had to deal with was her own diet, now that she was a free and independent person.
“I don’t know if you, Vincent, have learned about Chinese food culture through any channels in the past when you lived in an orphanage, but suffice it to say that in this house where I live, I will only serve you Chinese cuisine.”
In the past, when occasionally being taken out on the street by her own grandmother, she did not move to look for whether in the present day England, which has a magical world, also has a Chinese street where Chinese people live, Violet can be said to have put all her hopes on whether she could actually have enough hometown food in England, on this matter.
It is very congratulating to find such a place and buy a lot of ingredients and seeds there, but Violet does not intend to go there all the time to make purchases, but wants to use the land under her name.
There was a lot of flour and rice in the storehouse, as well as a lot of dry goods, and when Violet bought the mushrooms, seaweed and abalone, she also bought a lot of seeds and seedlings of Chinese crops that were not available in England.
“I have collected and stored as many crops as I like and have planted them on my own land, so, Vincent, don’t you want to do what you can as a reward for your work? Then, helping me cultivate these crops is what you should do.”
Violet never intended to expand the scale of cultivation in this magic world and subsequently become rich from agriculture, but only did so in order to become self-sufficient.
As long as there are enough ingredients, then want to give themselves a pickle, or get some other more sauces, there is no problem at all, Violet is in the long ago to look up, what they have to do to be able to use the power of magic, so that the origin of the crops are not located in the United Kingdom grow better.
“This is I read a lot of books on magic potions, this is to find out a few more cost-effective magic potions. And Vincent, you do not need to help me like a muggle to do any weeding and insects and other crop preparation work, but just need to help me mix magic potions, it is enough.”
On the night Vincent arrived at his home from the orphanage, he immediately took out his notes, which he had compiled long ago.
“Making magic potions does not require waving a wand, but the ratio of each ingredient, the amount and order that needs to be added in, the time needed to last for each different boiling stage, all of this, is something that has to be practiced over and over again, as well as carefully held, to be able to complete successfully.”
“Identifying the freshness and effectiveness of the raw materials you have, controlling the fire under the crucible according to the guidelines in the book, heating and stirring at different temperatures, and then ensuring that the end product has the right clarity, color, and smell as written, is what anyone who wants to master this course of magic potions must achieve. This is the standard that anyone who wants to master the course of magic potions must achieve.”
Expecting a very long written study, Vincent felt a great deal of interest and eagerness at the hands-on opportunity that Violet had offered him.
“Just dilute the final brewed potion with water in the right proportion and then sprinkle it on the field, so that the crops I cultivate will not need to be weeded or de-wormed at all. Simply because, with the help of these potions, pests and weeds, which will make my harvest loss, are simply impossible to reappear in the fields.”
In but just after moving here, quickly find the opportunity to let Hetty will all the fields are turned over, Violet in the loosening of this link is completed, quickly in accordance with their own long-established crop area division, the purchase of various crops of seeds and seedlings planted.
Just sprinkle some magic potion dilution every once in a while, there is no need to fertilize or consider various other issues such as interplanting, Violet really only needs to dig a small hole in the ground, and then put the seeds or seedlings into it, and then cover it with soil, it’s enough.
“As long as you can deploy these potions, then, want to grow delicious and fresh anti-seasonal vegetables and also fruits, and also there is absolutely no problem. And, unlike pesticides that may cause soil pollution, as well as chemical fertilizers that can cause the land to become caked, magic potions are something that has no side effects at all.”
The raw materials used are not any synthetic things, but all are from the natural world of animals, plants or minerals, Violet as a previous life even to raise fairy balls can not live plant killers, how would not think, crop cultivation for her in this life, actually will be so easy and simple.
“Even if we usher in the snowy winter, it is perfectly possible for Hetty to use magic to build greenhouses or vegetable greenhouses for us, and it really should not be too easy for us to eat crops that are completely different from genetically modified crops and without any hidden dangers in winter.”
The reason why will purposely make a room in the house as a food storage room, is because they also found in the books, far better than the use of refrigerators, for the preservation of ingredients, Violet in the same can use magic potions to properly promote the growth rate of crops, naturally to be fully prepared for the future will inevitably usher in a bumper crop.
“Not just in my name on the field planted vegetables and fruits, just recently completed the construction of the chicken coop and dug out the fish pond, will also be in the next one after another to function. So, we can solve the problem of fish, chickens and eggs, we need to buy food from outside, only milk, pork, beef, lamb and other meat.”
In advance has been calculated to buy crop seeds and seedlings, and the deployment of a series of magic potions need to use a variety of raw materials, all these things will add up to what kind of a price, Violet very clear, with such a way to solve the food problem, to a large extent to save their living expenses.
Since food in the original work has been identified as something impossible to create out of thin air with magic, so know that such an expense is impossible to avoid, Violet even thought, do not want to have a surplus in their own side of the cultivation, will be a variety of fresh quality, especially anti-seasonal crops as a shortage of goods sold back to China Street, so as to create an income for themselves.
But of course, in the present day, the fish fry has not yet bought, the chickens have not yet bought, Violet want to usher in the harvest of their fields, in fact, need a short period of time.
“I have fully read the guide to making magic potions in the notebook, so I believe that as long as you personally demonstrate it once in front of me so that I can more clearly deepen my impression of these magic potions, I will definitely be able to produce a finished product that will make you feel satisfied when I get started.”
Vincent was so confident in his own ability to learn that he believed he would be able to do it himself without any mistakes or mishaps if he just watched Violet in action.
If he hadn’t met Violet, it’s likely that he would never have known spices such as pepper, star anise, and cloves in his life, and as a child living in an orphanage, Vincent would not have known many of the ingredients used to make magic potions.
Even though he had read a lot of books in the orphanage’s reading room and therefore had a very large vocabulary, Vincent was faced with a variety of terminology in the potion formula, but it was impossible to remember the ingredients and their corresponding substances together without seeing the real thing.
Although he had been living under a roof for the past few years, he had been able to learn a lot about magic through his eyes and ears, and Violet had no trouble at all in understanding the raw materials of potions.
However, while she was teaching Vincent how to configure the target potion, several uninvited guests appeared on her turf on flying brooms.
