Chapter 120 Agricultural Product Enhancement
Poultry and livestock can also produce high-quality food, just in a different way.
Perhaps due to their different biological structure, they cannot produce meat, a vital food source, like fish.
Even feeding Iridium Star crops won't work; they'll explode and die instantly. This is the biggest difference between ordinary animals and monsters.
but.
This does not mean that they cannot connect with life energy.
By feeding small amounts of living crops over a long period, the gentle vitality of the crops can slowly permeate and improve the animal's constitution.
They can secrete the essence of life, causing a very low probability of mutation in poultry eggs and fresh milk, transforming them into food containing life force.
of course.
This is an extremely wasteful act, a madness that would be unthinkable in any other territory.
After all, food is a strategic resource, and it's already a struggle to supply both the army and the monster cavalry.
Eating it directly is the most efficient way to use it. How could you possibly feed it to poultry and livestock and then go through a slim chance of selection to gamble on that one silver star egg or a bowl of silver star milk?
This is like crushing the freshly harvested food in the field and scattering it back into the soil, hoping that the field will grow food again.
If you use it for brewing or something, it's just a loss of raw materials, and you can still get byproducts of the same quality in the end. This is pure waste.
The Wolf is considered quite wealthy in the Northern Territory; when Richard's elder brother was born, Earl Wolf had carefully raised a cow.
As a result, by the time the older brother was three years old, the cow had only produced a few buckets of Silver Star milk...
...
But I'm sorry.
Other families can't afford it...
My family can do it!
Only chiffon cake deserves this inhumane Dubai way of eating!
With the system's support, mass-producing Iridium-based poultry eggs and Iridium-based milk, just like crops, is definitely not a problem.
By combining vegetables and fruits, dozens of recipes can be created, enriching the dishes on the table.
and.
The system also includes several artisan devices that allow for more flavor variations in this type of living food.
For example, a mayonnaise machine can turn eggs into mayonnaise, and a cheese press can press fresh milk into cheese.
The oil-producing machine can extract truffle oil. Pigs that have eaten silver star crops have a chance to grow truffles in the areas where the machine has been.
Thinking of this.
He ran back to the first level of the mine, took some materials, and began making craftsman's equipment.
First up is the mayonnaise maker.
There's a small hole at the top; drop the egg in, and after three hours, you'll have a jar of delicious mayonnaise.
The materials are 15 wood, 15 stone, 1 earth crystal, and 1 copper ingot.
There are enough materials.
However, Richard only made five, since the daily consumption of mayonnaise is not large, and in the early stages, it is only necessary to meet the needs of the lord's mansion and the core level.
It's enough to mix it with Iridium Star vegetable salad or spread it on bread. We can mass-produce it later when we need to sell it to the public on a large scale.
...
Next up is the cheese press.
The ingredients are similar to those for a mayonnaise maker.
Simply put a pot of milk or goat milk into it, and you can harvest delicious cheese products three hours later.
Cheese has a lot of uses and is consumed in large quantities, so Richard built twenty of them in one go.
...
Next up is the [oil-producing machine].
Its production conditions are rather special.
Requires 50 Slime, 20 Wood, and 1 Gold Ingot.
Unfortunately, Owen destroyed all three gold blocks, so they can only be crafted once the raiding party discovers new gold blocks.
The oil press is a very important piece of equipment for artisans. In addition to extracting truffle oil, it can also be used to refine corn oil and other daily cooking oils from corn and sunflower.
Although the continent of Huanxing has cooking oils such as olive oil and butter, its recipes are mostly based on stewing and roasting, unlike the variety found on Earth.
Moreover, cooking oil is very precious and considered a luxury item, so only relatively wealthy free people would add a drop or two to their daily food to enhance the flavor.
Richard was missing fried foods, like onion rings, fried chicken, fried pork chops, fried squid, and fried lobster...
In the future, once we produce Iridium corn oil, we can add some Iridium wheat starch and other ingredients, and finally add two Iridium eggs, and use it as a batter to fry anything.
With an extraordinary constitution, you don't have to worry about getting a sore throat no matter how much you eat; at worst, you can just boil some honeysuckle in water to soothe your throat.
...
Unable to build an oil-producing machine, Richard turned his attention to beehives.
The required materials are: 40 wood, 8 coal, 1 iron ingot, and 1 maple syrup.
Before leaving Chiffon, he had built a Heavy Sap Collector, which produced four bottles of maple syrup and one bottle of pine tar.
This is just enough to meet the production needs of four beehives.
However, it needs to have blooming flowers nearby to produce honey, and except in winter, it can produce one bottle every four days.
Richard planned to place these four beehives behind the lord's manor, so that they could provide ample pollen for the beehives once the flowers in the manor had grown in a few days.
Finally, there's the [small bucket].
This is equipment used for brewing beer and making juice. You throw five kilograms of wheat in, and a day later you can get a jug of beer.
If you add any kind of fruit, you'll get a bottle of fruit wine after seven days. Adding a bottle of honey will make mead, and adding vegetables will give you the corresponding vegetable juice.
The most amazing thing is...
If you put rice in, you'll get a bottle of vinegar!
However, it cannot be made for the time being, because in addition to copper ingots and iron ingots, it also requires a bottle of oak resin.
Fortunately, the seeds sent by the Ferret Trading Company included a batch of acorns, which Richard has already given to Wade to cultivate. The oak resin can be harvested in eighteen days.
All food produced using these devices will meet the standards of life-sustaining food, depending on farming skills or the quality of raw materials.
Not only that.
With the system's support, the deliciousness and texture can be increased by 25%, making Richard extremely excited.
...
After browsing and creating the basic artisan equipment, he turned his attention to other long-term resource reserves.
Maple syrup, oak resin, and pine tar are all very important resources.
Richard simply built five hundred heavy-duty sap collectors in one go to prepare for large-scale collection in the future.
The only materials needed to make the [canning jars] were wood, stone, and coal, so Richard simply made five hundred.
If there had been so many before, Anthony could have brought along a variety of easy-to-store pickles and jams to enrich their logistical menu when he led his team to the capital today.
It's such a pity...
The two types of equipment, totaling a thousand units, instantly filled a certain open space on the first floor of the mine.
Owen, who was observing from the sidelines, was fine; he was already used to it. However, the staff of the Craftsmen's Department were quite excited when they saw that the lord could create things out of thin air.
Richard ignored them.
Instead, he opened the system panel and looked at the [Loom].
The materials required for this equipment are relatively simple, only 100 units of wood and 1 unit of pine tar.
Because there was only one bottle of pine tar in stock, only one machine could be manufactured.
Its function is to process wool into high-grade wool fabric, which can then be woven into various garments.
With enhanced farming skills, the wool production cycle of sheep in the livestock shed has been shortened from three days to one day.
In other words.
Every day, I have to manually shear the wool and then process it again, which is quite a lot of work.
of course.
Once large-scale production begins in the future, we will no longer be dependent on others for fabrics.
Unlike before, when you had to go to Viscount Brad to ask for a batch of linen and wool.
Although I got it.
But this feeling is actually very unpleasant...
