My Magic Age

The residents of El City have a habit of preparing dinner only after dark. Every winter, the residents of El City store a large number of golden apples, onions, potatoes, spinach and radishes. These vegetables Stored in the cellar, it can last through the winter if stored properly.

People in El City like to cook tomatoes and golden apples into sauces and store them in jars and seal them with paraffin. On winter nights, they can cut off a piece of frozen meat and throw it into a large iron pot on the fireplace. Throw in the onions, pour in some tomato juice or golden applesauce, and cook it into a thick pot of broth. Just serve it with a few pieces of naan and white bread and you can have a delicious meal.

In the city of Ayr in winter, the most expensive food is not meat, but vegetables in some greenhouses. Only aristocratic families can afford to build sunny greenhouses and plant some vegetables in them. The food with local characteristics suddenly filled my heart with a deep sense of warmth.

The dining table looks a bit old, and the brown paint has been worn away from many of the corners. There are still words carved by me with a peeling knife on one of the table legs. Yingli, Catalina, Helena, Becky and I Sitting on the side against the wall, Noah and Shirley Newman sat opposite me, Tracy and Cindy sat next to Shirley, Liant sat in the main seat, and Fannie and Nancy sat Opposite him.

So many people squeezed into one dining table made the dining table seem a little too small, so that the original candlesticks on the table were placed on the window sill and wine cabinet. Fanny was worried that the two three-pointed candlesticks would not bring enough light, and all the Put it up on a wooden frame nearby She skillfully dripped six candles with melted wax oil on the wooden board, and then quickly stood the candle upright on the melted wax oil. After the wax oil solidified, it stood steadily on the wooden board, under the light of more than a dozen candles. , the restaurant looks very bright.

Fanny and Nancy prepared a sumptuous dinner with their own hands. Fanny and Nancy each held a table knife in one hand and a barbecue fork in the other hand, roasting the golden lamb leg. Cut it onto everyone's plate. Like many northerners, Lent likes to spread some golden applesauce on this secret barbecue. It tastes salty, sour and sweet. The El people Everyone likes to eat like this.

Liant kindly demonstrated it to Ying Li, Noah and others, and said that El City's golden applesauce can be paired with anything. You can slice the white bread with a crispy crust and spread some golden applesauce on it. You can also spread the golden applesauce on the scones, then sprinkle the scones with chopped onions and sausage cubes, and then bake them in the oven for three minutes. Or just add some golden applesauce to the broth and it’ll be delicious no matter how you eat it.

"Jijia has never liked this very much." Liante said, raising the white bread with golden applesauce in his hand, scooping a large spoonful of thick soup into his dinner plate with a wooden spoon, and then put the white bread in his hand. The bread is soaked in the broth and tastes delicious when you eat it.

Noah also followed Liant's example, but he didn't have the courage to throw the white bread with jam into the soup. Instead, he took a bite of the white bread with jam. His expression was a bit exaggerated, and he frowned. Looking like he was enjoying it very much, he extended his thumb to Liant and said, "It's delicious. This is really delicious."

At the War College in El City, many students do not want to run home for lunch at noon. They usually stuff a few slices of bread with golden applesauce in their schoolbags. For the children in El City who were not able to come, Say, golden applesauce is a food that’s versatile.

After Noah finished speaking, he cut another piece of barbecue with a table knife and stuffed it into his mouth. His expression became richer. I have to say that since Nancy married Liante, the taste of the food at home has obviously improved to a higher level.

Seeing that Noah liked the well-prepared food, Liant was particularly happy. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and then said: "Jijia is not like me at all. In addition to not liking golden applesauce, he also doesn't like it." He likes to drink golden cider, and I like to drink a little golden cider in the morning, but he just likes to drink some cereal and milk, and eat two slices of white bread without jam.”

Helena and Becky were more interested in the decorations in the dining room than the food on the table. They only ate a little barbecue and bread, and kept looking at the small dining room curiously. They stared at the patterns on the stained glass in the window. Also very curious.

Yingli has been sitting shyly next to me. Fanny and Nancy always take special care of Yingli. The food on her plate has piled up into a small mountain. Tracy, who is sitting opposite, finally can't stand it anymore. , pointing to his empty plate, and said to Fanny tactfully: "Fanny, you should take care of your daughter's empty plate."

Fanny glared at Tracy and said, "I want you to invite Ellent over for dinner. Where are the others?"

"He's on duty tonight." Tracy said without confidence in response to Fanny's question.

She blew her bangs on her forehead and gave Fanny a guilty look.

"Haha, does patrol duty mean you don't have to eat?" Fanny obviously didn't intend to let Tracy go, so she asked her.

In front of Fanny, Tracy, who had always been unruly, looked like a lady.

Tracy rolled her eyes and said to Fanny: "The Guard Corps provides dinner."

She blinked at me, seemingly wanting me to help her out. After understanding, I immediately interrupted and asked: "Is Arent's military service completed?"

Tracy cast an approving look at me and said to me: "Well, he returned to El City in the summer, but he joined the security camp of El City again."

I wondered why Arent didn't join an excellent adventure group to gain experience, but joined the guard camp. I asked Tracy curiously: "Why is he so depressed? Others join the guard camp to avoid serving three years in the military. Why does he join the guard camp at this time?"

Tracy pursed her lips slightly and said to me helplessly: "I asked him the same question. He told me: Someone has to try to change. I don't know what he wants to change. I continued to ask him, but he refused to tell me clearly."

I asked Tracy: "When are you going to hold the wedding?"

Hearing me ask this, Tracy's face was stained with a faint blush, and she looked shy and lowered her head without saying a word.

Ryant laughed and explained to me: "They have always hoped that you can come back to attend their wedding. They were not sure when you could return to El City before, so they did not hold the wedding ceremony. But now that you are back, let Tracy and Allent choose a date."

I didn't expect that they were waiting for me to come back. I looked at Tracy with a touching face and found that Tracy had changed a lot recently and became more and more feminine.

Tracy lifted the broken hair by her ears, but unfortunately her hair was not long yet. She asked me: "Ji Jia, when are you and Ying Li going to get married? Do you have to wait until graduation?"

"In fact, we are already married, just after the coming-of-age ceremony!" After a pause, I sat next to the dining table and said to everyone at the table.

Noah and Shirley Newman knew about this in the imperial capital a long time ago, so their faces did not change.

But Ryant, Tracy, Fanny, Cindy and Nancy were all mouth-open and looked at me in shock.

Although we got married on the night of the coming-of-age ceremony, Ryan and Fanny were still in the imperial capital, and I was unable to invite them to my wedding. In fact, I was kept in the dark until I arrived at the lakeside island of Qige. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I did not tell Ryan and Fanny about it.

"..."

Everyone was silent.

Only Tracy jumped up, pointed at my forehead, and said, "What? You are already married? And you kept all of us in the dark. Tell me... is there anything else you dare not do?"

"The situation at that time was a bit special." I could only defend myself.

When Tracy heard me say this, she thought I was deliberately perfunctory to her, and said to me suspiciously: "... No matter what the special circumstances are, I think you should introduce your wife to us before the wedding. This is the custom of Ayr City. Or are you worried that when I return from winter vacation, no one will want me, and Fanny will force you to marry me?"

I said to Tracy: "It's not what you think, please listen to my explanation! In fact, I had a very special situation at that time..."

Tracy was a little angry and said to me sarcastically: "You don't want to tell me that Yingli is actually over 25 years old. If she can't get married as soon as possible, she will be forced to be assigned to other nobles?"

I hurriedly said to Tracy: "Don't talk nonsense, it's not that Yingli is over 25 years old..."

Tracy looked at me in surprise and asked me: "What do you mean by this? Can I understand that in addition to Yingli, you have married someone else?"

Then, her eyes fell on Catalina.

"It's not Catalina, it's Qige!" I said to Tracy.

"Um, didn't the girl named Qige come back with you?" Fanny interrupted me at this time.

"Last month, something happened in her family and she needed to go home to solve it! So she is not in the imperial capital at the moment." I said to Fanny.

Tracy heard me say this and just said: "Qige, this name sounds really good, it's the same name as the future princess of Prince Wales!"

I asked Tracy: "Have you heard of Qige too?"

Tracy told me like a treasure: "Of course, Prince Wales is the youngest general star in the Green Empire. His classic battles and glorious achievements in the Warsaw plane have long been spread to the North Border City. All the girls in our store are staunch supporters of Prince Wales. Of course, I know a lot of information about him. I also know that Princess Qige is still teaching at the Royal Magic Academy. She is the youngest magic potion scholar in the imperial capital..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller. Finally, she hesitated for a while, and finally stopped to ask me : "You mean, you stole the fiancée of Prince Wales in the imperial capital?"

I said to everyone: "This is a long story. We can talk about it slowly when we have time. In short, this is it."

I continued: "And I have to explain one thing."

Tracy looked at me speechlessly and said: "If there is anything more exciting, just tell us all! We can still bear it for the time being."

I said to Ryant: "Ying Li is actually the daughter of Prince James, the supreme commander of the South Wind Corps. Her surname contains the title of Princess Angel Boulder, so she is also a princess of the Green Empire."

"Your Highness..." Ryant's wine glass slipped onto the table, and the golden apple wine in the glass splashed everywhere.

"You should call me Ying Li, it will make me feel more intimate." Ying Li said to Ryant with a smile.

Lian Te also wanted to smile, but his face was a little stiff. When Lian Te and Fanny heard that Ying Li was a princess of the royal family, their expressions had been a little restrained, and their faces were not as calm as before.

Nancy and Cindy looked at Ying Li secretly with astonishment, as if they wanted to see something else from Ying Li's holiness.

A princess of the imperial royal family would actually marry into his own family, which was something that Lian Te had never thought of, but this topic soon ended at the table, which made me a little relieved.

This dinner ended in such an atmosphere.

Noah and Shirley Newman said goodbye early.

Because my house has limited rooms, I can't let them stay at home, so they live in the most luxurious hotel in El City. Worried that there would be no magic caravan if they went out too late, Noah and his group did not sit down to chat after dinner. He hurriedly took Shirley Newman to the alley to find the magic caravan.

Our whole family sent Noah outside the yard. Fanny asked Tracy to follow us and help Noah and his friends find the magic caravan on the street.

Before leaving, Noah winked at me.

Then we returned to the house and sat down on the sofa in the living room. Nancy made a cup of lemon tea for us, and then I began to tell what I had done in the past year. I did a lot of things in this year, so the story is very long. Everyone listened to it in the living room until late, but I only talked about the duel with William.

Tracy and Cindy were naturally energetic and not sleepy, but Ryan and Fanny were old and they didn't have the energy to stay up late, so I stopped and said to everyone: I will tell the rest tomorrow night.

Next, facing the issue of assigning sleeping rooms, Fanny asked Tracy to squeeze in with Cindy and vacated Tracy's room for Ying Li to live in, while I still had to live in the small attic on the top floor that originally belonged to me. The attic was thoroughly cleaned by Fanny. When I opened the wooden door of the attic, I could smell the smell of soap in the room.

There was a thick pile of magic parchment on the writing table next to the windowsill, but the magic ink on the table had dried up. I picked up a magic engraving pen on the pen holder and said to Ying Li beside me with a smile: "Speaking of which, the magic grocery store that Marvin and I opened in El City has always been doing very well!"
