I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 92

Okay, I think it's time to make that too.

Having built and spelled a hardened brick hoof, one of Valkyrie's gear, I decided to move on to the next move.

It's about the pantry.

Until now, food had been stored in very ordinary warehouses in Vulcan villages.

But I've always wondered about this food preservation.

With the memories of my previous life, I always lived surrounded by plenty of ingredients throughout the year, and I thought that was natural.

However, there is a natural logic that any food can be harvested at a certain time and cannot be eaten at other times.

It was an unusual situation to be able to eat food at any time, regardless of the season, and I realized it after I was reborn into this world.

Since I was born in this Vulcan village, I have always thought about food and lived.

Because the magic I dreamed of in my previous life has always evolved to eat food.

However, even if I created a spell called "soil improvement" so that I could harvest a lot of food, I couldn't extend the shelf life.

At best, I used the method of drilling a hole in the ground and storing it there, but it is still a little better than normal temperature storage, and after harvesting it for a while, I can't eat it.

Even if it was preserved, there were things that could and could not be done, and the results were not so good.

But that's over.

I got a new way to save it.

New vault.

I made it up on my own land.

That said, I didn't make anything particularly unusual.

We just built a big warehouse.

However, the wall of the warehouse was considerably thicker.

It created a space free of all sunlight and wind, without any gaps.

Ice Spear

Use magic in that warehouse.

Use the ice magic I got from Carlos, the owner of the Fontana family.

I could only use magic about soil to strengthen my flesh no matter how hard I worked until now, but I got a new name and became able to use Ice Spear magic.

Originally, I even repeated this spell, which is the attack magic on the battlefield, into a warehouse with nothing.

[Ice Spear] Generates and fires ice columns about the thickness and length of the arms of an adult male.

The ice columns roll down into Gorongolon and the warehouse.

This was also the case when we fought the Fontana army before, but the magical ice does not dissolve and disappear after a certain amount of time.

The ice pillars will remain so that what I made with earth magic will continue to remain.

But of course, unlike the soil, the ice melts over time.

So, after some ice accumulated, I scattered sawdust from above.

Yes, the warehouse I built was called an ice room.

Originally, ice filled with ponds and the like is stored in a basement called an ice chamber, but if you leave sawdust on the surface of the ice, it will remain completely melted even in the season when there is no ice.

I decided to save it with new ice magic that I could use.

Even so, I'm not the only one who can make ice.

Because since I was named after Carlos, I have been able to use Ice Magic [Ice Spear] for those who have a Barca family name that is related to my child.

This allowed Balka to create and store ice at any time of the year.

"But, Lord Ars. I thought you needed this ice room. I don't think there's any need to save it, because if you have a Balka name, you can make your own ice."

"What are you talking about, Gran? I've prepared this ice for food preservation."

That's why I went out of my way to build an ice room as a warehouse.

It was in the preservation of food from the beginning.

What I wanted to make was not a place to store ice.

I wanted to make a refrigerator.

I've never used it myself, but the old refrigerator didn't use electricity.

There was a refrigerator made of wooden frames that put ice in the refrigerator and cooled the interior of the refrigerator with the cold air of the ice.

I wanted to reproduce it.

But there's no need to keep it for home use.

We kept the ice in the big warehouse, and then we had space to store the food in the cold warehouse.

However, it would be natural to make a wooden refrigerator for household use separate from the warehouse.

Even if I gave Barca a last name, it wasn't all the villagers.

Sell ice to people who can't make it on their own.

With the advent of this ice-room refrigerator, things that had not lasted much until now have grown much longer.

Until now, not only vegetables that could only be eaten immediately after the harvest, but also occasionally the meat of the big pig that I could get was saved, and my diet improved slightly.
