CHAPTER 25

The morning sun rose right on time, with no regard for how late anyone had stayed up the night before, but to its dismay, John was already up and about, having been unable to sleep. After helping with the milking, he filled the cheese cans with milk and sent them down to the cheese cellar to prepare while Ellie was starting breakfast. The cellar was calm and cool, giving John a bit of respite from the boiling feeling that still followed last night’s excursion. Taking the cans of milk out of the cart, he transferred them onto the stove and started the fire with a flick of his fingers.

Placing washed cans on the cart, he used the pulley system to send the cart and empty cans back up to the barn to get ready for the next batch. While the milk was coming to a boil, he walked over to the pots that held the strange flowers he had gotten from the grimm. As beautiful as always, the flowers seemed to sway when he walked close, their petals turning toward him as if they could sense the density of mana his body carried. Reaching out, John poked one of the petals, letting out a laugh as it trembled. A small shoot was poking out of one of the pots, but it was too small for John to tell if it was another of the flowers or if it was something else. Picking up the watering can next to the pots, John sprinkled the soil with water.

They still didn’t have water running directly into the cheese cellar, so John put that on the list of things to work on while he was waiting to see how the corn grew. He was confident he would be able to tie into the water system that the kitchen used without much trouble, but since it would require using mana, he would have to wait until the others were asleep.

While I’m at it, I should make a shower and a toilet. I wonder if I could build a toilet that self-fills? Either way, a shower is a must. Man, it’s been a long time since I had a proper shower.

A hiss let him know that the milk was about to boil, so he walked over to the stove, checking the temperature to make sure it was even. Adjusting the flames so that all pots were being heated evenly, he got out a measuring cup and got the vinegar ready to stir in. While he was waiting for the correct moment to add the vinegar, Ellie came down the stairs to let him know breakfast was ready.

“Alright. I’m just making the first batch of cheese.”

“Let me help. I can pour if you want to stir.”

Working together, they quickly processed the twelve cans of boiling milk, and once the curds were properly separated, they transferred them to the lined colanders John had gotten from Gerret. Rinsing and salting the curds was next, and then they pressed them into shape and tied them up to hang for a few hours on the rack John had built.
