The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 122 The smell of hot pot is everywhere

"This can be cooked with meat to make braised meat, braised vegetables, or braised eggs. This can be boiled in water to cook vegetables or meat. This can be used to marinate meat to remove its gamey smell..."

As Moran explained, he also added usage information to the card, lowering the barrier to entry: "You can buy one for a few mana, want to give it a try?"

She regretted not preparing some braised meat and hot pot in advance for the little witches to try.

Without trying them, it's difficult to understand the essence of these cards.

These days my mind is filled with workbooks, and I'm not as good at selling flashcards as I used to be.

"Braised meat? Is that a specialty dish from your previous life's world?" Ais was still quite interested.

“That’s right!” Moran said.

"Then give me a braised food card to try!"

Only Ais, a little witch, bought a card.

"Alba, don't you need any? The food is really delicious!" Moran wanted to sell a few more.

Alba shook her head: "I still don't understand how to use the seasonings at the ingredient distribution center, let alone seasonings from another world. I'm afraid I won't be able to cook it well even if I buy them."

She lacked talent in cooking magic and struggled to learn how to cook, so she felt she couldn't use the card.

Upon hearing this, Vasida, who had just brought out the fresh ingredients, immediately gave a strong recommendation: "If you don't know how to make it, just buy a hot pot base card! Boil a pot of water, put the ingredients in, and once it boils, add the sliced ​​meat, vegetables, and mushrooms. Once they're cooked, you can take them out and eat them. It's even easier than making a thick soup!"

"I recommend the spicy hot pot base. It's a bit spicy, but it's really delicious!" Sylph said.

The little witches asked suspiciously, "Is it really that simple?"

“Of course it’s that simple!” Vasida said. “Anyway, it’s only 2 mana per card, so it’s not a loss to buy it and try it out.”

“We’ve only seen Moran do it once. The hardest part is making the base sauce, but the card provides the base sauce ready-made,” Sylph said.

With their strong recommendations, a few little witches took the bait. They could afford 2 manas, so why not give it a try?

Moran sold a few more hot pot base cards. Thanks to Vasita and Sylph, the little witches who bought these cards all chose the chili oil flavor.

She quietly reminded me: "For your first time making this, you can cut a quarter piece of the base sauce and cook it in a small pot about the size of your palm. That should be enough for one person. Don't eat too quickly. Prepare a teapot in advance, and it's best to bring some milk and fruit back to help with the spiciness..."

The little witch who bought the hot pot base card then selected the ingredients again according to the hot pot recipe.

In dormitory 59, Lilith finished dinner, took a bath, changed into a nightgown, and sat at her desk to read.

As she looked at it, she sniffed: "This smell...Mo Lan made hot pot again?"

Thinking back to that meal she had a few months ago, even though she had already filled her stomach, she still couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Wait a minute! Why does this smell so strong?" Lilith got up and went outside, sat sideways on her broom, flew onto the roof, followed the smell of the hot pot around, and then became even more confused.

The smell of hot pot didn't come from Moran. She also smelled of food, but it wasn't the smell of hot pot. The smell of hot pot came from the other first-year witches.

"One, two... nine, ten? Ten first-year witches are eating hot pot?" Lilith was puzzled.

The smell of hot pot was everywhere, and her cravings were whetted.

"Knock knock!" She knocked on Vasita's dormitory door. "Coming!" Vasita was cooking hot pot, and after putting a piece of meat into the pot with her chopsticks, she quickly came to open the door: "Senior?"

"Are you eating hot pot?" Lilith asked.

“Yes! Moran made the {hot pot base card}… Hey! Senior!” Vasita shook her head as she watched her senior turn and walk towards Moran’s dormitory: “I haven’t finished yet! The temptation of hot pot is indeed strong enough.”

Just as Moran finished preparing dinner and was about to enjoy it, Lilith, who was craving hot pot, called her out: "Give me ten {red oil hot pot base cards}! Don't forget to tell me if you ever come across anything like this again!"

No wonder so many female students' dorms smell like hot pot; it turns out there's this amazing stuff.

Moran was shocked: "I haven't even mentioned the price yet! You're not going to haggle?"

This is not Lilith's usual style of buying cards!
“I bargained, will you give me a discount?” Lilith asked.

Moran shook her head and said firmly, "No."

Lilith said irritably, "Then why are you even bringing this up! Hurry up, sign the contract, and give me the cards! I need to go get the ingredients to make a midnight snack!"

Urged on by Lilith, Moran wrote the contract while saying, "There are other food cards, would you like to take a look?"

Lilith firmly refused: "I'm only interested in hot pot!"

Moran sold the cards her senior wanted to her, thinking to herself that once she made something else delicious, her senior wouldn't only be interested in hot pot.

As soon as Lilith got the card, she rode her broom to the ingredient collection area, not wanting to give even a second glance to the little witch who had cost her another 20 mana, for fear of accidentally losing even more magic power.

Hot pot broth is delicious, but spending money on it is still a pain.

Moran watched Lilith's departing figure and shook her head: "Is the hot pot base really that potent? Even she didn't haggle! I'm not used to it!"

She even felt that she had underestimated the allure of Earth's cuisine.

"If I didn't hand over the recipes for Blue Star cuisine to the clan association to be included in the academy library, wouldn't I be able to make a fortune just by making food cards?"

Although food cards are cheap, they add up to a lot of money over time!
Moran was starting to regret telling the little witches that she would compile a list of Earth's recipes.

In the end, she remembered her mother's instructions and managed to hold back from going back on her word.

Blue Star hopes that these souls who have left this world can live well in the new world and carry forward Blue Star's civilization.

Recipes are also a form of civilization. Letting more witches learn how to cook Earth's food is also a way of continuing civilization!

However, even if she had the recipe, it wouldn't have much of an impact on her, as little witches with culinary magic talent are a minority.

Moran also saw the potential of food cards; the cuisine of Earth is far more than just hot pot.

She started thinking about it while eating dinner.

Selling more magic power will bring her one step closer to getting an energy storage card with unlimited use.

She has an unlimited-use energy storage card, which she obtains by selling cards. The one-time magic power stored in the amethyst can be transferred into it at any time for her to absorb and use for casting spells.

Ms. Amisha forbade her to sell ready-made dishes, saying that there are too many convenient and easy-to-cook things like hot pot, and it would be better to just sell seasoning packets.

It won't affect the little witches' learning of cooking magic, and it can even spark everyone's interest in food, which is a good thing.
