Chapter 741: A new way to play with golden melon seeds
Just as he was lowering his head to upload pictures and play with the forum, Lao Wang looked up again and saw that most of the pot of stew was gone.
"Li Cang, you are such a dog, you can't even eat a pig!"
"I told you not to use your phone while eating~"
"Rub, what a beast, pass me the scallion sauce."
"It's been half a month since I finished eating, and the new ones are still not ready yet. How about some leek flowers?"
"..."
Sha scallions are a good thing. They are a strong player in large-scale wine and meat markets. Although they are also called Mongolian leeks, they are not the same thing as wild leeks. The pickling method is basically the same as that of leek flower sauce, and the taste is completely different.
When it comes to mutton alone, Li Cang is a loyal fan of chive sauce, while Lao Wang prefers shallot sauce and Laba garlic, which are the most important flavors.
"What kind of thing is chive sauce? There is no soul like onion! To make me healthy, it must be garlic!" Lao Wang took one bite of meat and one garlic. He looked huge and ferocious when eating, with loneliness written on his face. "As the saying goes, it's good.
, Eating meat without eating garlic is equivalent to not eating garlic..."
This scene of eating meat and fat so early in the morning can easily cause psychological discomfort, so much so that Li Lei didn't even dare to look at these two guys, they were too hardcore.
Tai Xiaoyi asked: "If there is nothing important today, let's make something like ham, bacon, dried meat, and dried fruits?"
The appetite of four people is so appalling that one person wishes he could be the boss of a football team!
Moreover, under Tai Xiaoyi's "pampering", Old Wang Li Cang had long developed the luxurious and bad habit of carrying various kinds of dried meat from exotic animals as snacks. In theory, it was convenient to replenish what he needed at any time.
These things consume a lot of money, and the preparation work is gradually no longer something that Tai Xiaoyi can complete alone...
"It's done!" Li Cang said cheerfully: "Lao Wang and I will just build a special stove for drying meat later and build a smoking and drying room, otherwise it will be too troublesome."
"Okay~"
Based on the situation and various harsh environments that Sky Island has experienced, they have long stopped building infrastructure on the surface of Sky Island. The insect nest space is the best choice.
"The room here is used to dry the dried meat and set up an oven. The temperature of the oven is enough for drying the dried meat. There is also a small platform for smoking and curing over there!"
Lao Wang gestured and offered suggestions, and Li Cang controlled the dog legs and his brothers and sisters to quickly build four stone houses in the separately opened insect nest space.
It's ugly and abstract, but it's spacious.
Since no wet materials are used, the four curing rooms, which are almost entirely made of stone, can be put into use immediately after being put into use. Teams of doglegs carry deer, bison, musk oxen, alienated antelopes, chickens, ducks, and tons of tied up deer, bison, musk oxen, alienated antelopes, chickens, and ducks.
Alienated fruits and other things are constantly being sent down.
The young lady and Li Lei followed behind, talking and laughing.
Slaughtered in a unified manner, salted and seasoned, smoked what should be smoked and grilled. It took less than half a day to basically fill three of the rooms.
“Is this room reserved for catches and seafood?”
"Young lady is discerning. Look, there is a room for dried meat, a room for dried fruits, a room for cured meats, and a room for fish. There is no odor transfer. Each room can be independently ventilated. This cave is also close to the edge of the island.
The worker bees can open the vents of the entire space, and the wind flows in from there, and then goes out from there. The temperature and humidity can be adjusted, isn't it perfect?"
"Well...it's a pity that there are no pigs on the island. We are almost finished with the last bit of ham."
"I'll remember it! I'll think of ways to get a batch of pork later..." Lao Wang said, "Bacon, ham, and pork are better for the stomach. If I eat anything else, I'll cough."
Li Laixi looked at Li Cang: "Isn't there another group of wild boars? In which cave are they locked up?"
"It's different. That stuff is too smelly, fishy and smelly." Li Cang shook his head: "I can't eat it. I can't eat it. It's okay to improve the taste occasionally. I'll think about it later when I get a few breeding mothers to breed a second generation."
"I don't know when we will have to wait until the next time we replenish supplies. Base 83 is so poor that I don't even have the nerve to mention it!" Lao Wang complained angrily: "We have encountered such a large settlement in just a few months. This is bullshit.
It’s true that you have to buy it half-sold and half-given, but it’s so fucking awesome!”
"I don't even think it's worth nagging you~"
"If you ask me, at least one of the things in the fortress should be under our control. Just like the things smashed to pieces on the battlefield, they are all our spoils of war, right?"
"You are suspected of robbery, really."
Base 83 used the bloodline fragments and alienated bone fragments stored in the entire fortress of the First Nation to trade with Li Cang and the others for various ready-made basic living supplies, ranging from anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics to soap, washing powder, shampoo, toilet paper, etc., and even included
Dried salted fish and breadfruit that no one has ever cared about...
They also asked for some oil, but Li Cang didn't give much. They were well prepared for that. Where can they find oil these days?
The bloodline fragments and alienated bone fragments that were exchanged are basically from the zombies of Black Mist Island. Don’t worry about the quality. They are still enough to be used as feed for the servants of fate.
"You guys go up first?" Tai Xiaoyi said, "I have to watch the heat in the baking room, and add cypress leaves and orange peels to the curing room. I have to take care of it for several hours!"
"oh oh..."
The meat piled up in several rooms can give people a sufficient sense of happiness. Lao Wang felt happy when he saw the piles of meat, wiped the corners of his mouth, and left reluctantly.
Li Cang handed Lao Wang a few strips of almost roasted bison jerky. This thing is different from the smoked ones. It is roasted and very fragrant, but it is not very dehydrated: "I said, you think about it,
Get a cold air room and come out."
"What are you doing?" Lao Wang tore into pieces one by one and ate, "The refrigerator and cold storage above are not enough? How much temperature are they?"
"Another kind of air-dried meat~" Li Cang raised his eyebrows at Lao Wang: "The kind that can only be made in winter!"
"Oh, it's just raw, I understand!"
Some areas in Shanxi and Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, snowy areas, etc. all have the habit of storing meat in autumn and winter. Different from smoking and curing, any simple seasoning does not even require salt and relies entirely on the cold wind. It is put on the shelves at the end of autumn and is basically completed before freezing.
The drying process makes the finished product sweet and full of flavor.
Mr. Li Cang, Wang Li Lei, have never eaten less before. Now that we have this condition, why not do it?
"It's very simple. There are ready-made templates in the cold storage. Modify them and pray for a few super-powerful ones. You can spare a few three-wheeled doglegs to come over. They will definitely be able to use them tonight. Do you still need to get a few more?
No. blower, I remember that thing has to be placed on the air outlet to blow..."
"Brother Wang is wise!"
After a round of inspection and feeding, it was already two hours later when we went up. From eating and drinking to fighting orders, almost all the work on the empty island had to be completed by themselves or under the supervision and command. Compared with the wartime situation, it was indeed a little more complicated.
Free, in fact there are endless things to do every day.
In the evening, Lao Wang had already finished his work. He and Li Cang found a lounge chair and nestled at the edge of the empty island. If any debris came over, they would use a crossbow to catch it. Otherwise, they would sit and chat around a pile of mugwort smoked to repel mosquitoes.
Snap~
"What the hell is this giant mosquito holding grass? What the hell is it with blue and white flowers!" Lao Wang stared at the amount of blood on his palm that could be described as a "puddle" and fell into deep thought: "If you don't say that this thing is a low-altitude creature, it can't fly high?
There isn't even a decent-sized empty island around here, and there's no water source, and they just pop out of the cracks in the rocks?"
"So much mugwort and mosquito repellent are readily available. I just wish I could get some incense. Why do I need to teach you?"
The big wand made a buzzing sound above Li Cang's head, and from time to time a few mosquitoes were attracted. Then Li Cang picked it up and threw it into a straw basket, and then suddenly handed the basket to Lao Wang...
Lao Wang was so used to it that he couldn't complain, so he sacrificed it casually: "A thousand mosquitoes are only a dime. No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they still have meat. As for you! Well, you said Africans won't be happy to see this thing.
Jump up, their mosquito pancakes and mosquito burgers are so exciting!"
"Then you try?"
"Damn..." Lao Wang screamed strangely, found a bowl and held it under the light of prayer, "It's so rough, you didn't even give it a package?"
I don’t know how many coins Lao Wang put in, but when he put a bowl of green mosquito repellent liquid aside, it was no longer a question of repelling mosquitoes. Mosquitoes passing by within a radius of 30 meters didn’t even have time to react.
It's like snow!
"Haha, that's right..." Lao Wang was satisfied, and then suddenly pointed in a certain direction: "Hey, there are walking corpses on that fragment."
There are three walking corpses standing on the small fragment with a diameter of only a hundred meters in diameter. There is not even a root of grass on the fragment. The three walking corpses are as skinny as paper. I don’t know how long they have been dead.
After the rain, they were exposed to the sun and there was no good spot on their bodies. They were all covered with curled dead skin and criss-crossed cracks.
"Same people have different fates..." Li Cang pointed to another fragment and said: "Look over there. Not only is the land huge, it's lush and green, and there are watermelons to chew on..."
"Oh haha, we've been discovered, haha!" Lao Wang fired his crossbow, and the chain missed the target. The guy didn't drag it back, just tied it at a distance, "Bet 50 grains, they will crawl over along the chain!"
Li Cang sat upright and said seriously: "Are you sure?"
Tai Xiaoyi and Li Laixi, who heard the commotion, immediately came over to watch the gamble of up to 50 golden melon seeds.
Without it, golden melon seeds have been given a new value, or authority, a few days ago. After all, even if it is gold, it is no fun even if it is used for gambling without any practical significance.
After the proposal of two unscrupulous men, and the unanimous vote of three votes in favor and one vote against, the golden melon seed data was initialized, just like the XX coin in a certain Liu Bei article. As a private currency that can only be circulated among four people, it has additional purchasing power.
and authority.
A purchase lasts up to 24 hours, and the whole bag of 500 seeds means that it cannot be refused. Other specific prices are still open to discussion, but for example, for example, if you buy 1 golden melon seed for Lao Wang if he doesn't eat for a day, or 10 golden melon seeds if he doesn't poop for a day
, and so on...
Such a scene immediately made Lao Wang stunned, and he suddenly reacted: "Oh, it has officially started to take effect, right? Then I have to be cautious, just 5 pills!"
"Hey~" Li Laixi was extremely disgusted with Lao Wang's repentance, "That's it? Is it okay to wake up early and go to the evening market, do you want to search? Can you be a little more like a man?"
"Hehe, come if you are able, and I'll make sure my sister has your good juice to drink!"
"Come on, come on!"
"Five pills, I bet they won't dare."
"I, I also have 5 pills..."
"Huh? Little miss, you don't believe me? You don't even want to be with me?"
"Everyone betrays their relatives and leaves, tsk~" Li Cang glanced at him, full of pity, "Seal the plate!"
Times have changed, and now it is no longer a banker's method of calculating odds, but has been changed to gambling. If Lao Wang loses, each person will have to pay 5 golden melon seeds.
Four, ah, no, four might be too absolute. In short, at least three guys with bad intentions began to exert force on the fragments on the opposite side. They looked like they wanted to take their own lives, and the atmosphere suddenly became anxious and intense.
"Come up, come up, crawl over here for me, you are okay, look at my huge swimming ring, look at this fat but not greasy little face, look at my multi-layered gluteus maximus, I really don't want to taste it"
Just one bite, come on, come on~"
Lao Wang's posture can simply be described as scratching his head and posing, and there is no limit to his moral integrity.
"啕~"
Li Leisi retched and stared at the opposite side, trying to intimidate or even kill the three shriveled zombies with her eyes.
"You surnamed Li, don't think of being a cheat!" Lao Wang yelled: "Put down the big magic wand for me. Do you hear me? You are a piece of shit, are you still a human being?"
Li Cang's ruse was discovered, and he felt a little embarrassed but plausibly said: "Strength is also a kind of game. How can such a technical thing be called a thousand?"
"hetui~!"
I am impatient here, but the three ugly zombies over there will only live for a few days if they don't have food and water. I am even more impatient!
They were just zombies, not complete fools. At least they knew that falling off the island might not end well, so they paced back and forth on the edge of the debris extremely anxiously, roaring, but they didn't dare to jump...
It's two hundred meters away, and the zombies don't have wings.
"Chains, Wucao, can't you see such a thick chain? Are you idiots? You idiots don't deserve to eat meat!"
"Hahaha, that's it, very good, great, I'll be nice and I'll let you eat it hot before serving it to the table!"
What table to serve?
Of course it’s Miss Qiu’s dining table!
4:3, after a full five-minute confrontation, when they were about to vote to decide that Lao Wang had lost, the three living treasures finally discovered that there was a thin chain pointing to the opposite side under their feet.
"Wait a minute!" Lao Wang's eyes were as wide as a cow's, with bloodshot eyes coming out, "Hahaha, they are going to crawl, rolling, I will lose with a hammer, the first round of the world, I, Wang...Zhong
Someone is bound to win!”
After several attempts, a zombie finally couldn't resist the control of instinct and grabbed the chain and began to crawl this way.
"ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~"
"Oh, bad luck!"
"You can lose this way? It's unreasonable..."
"well..."
"Stop talking nonsense, give me money quickly, hahaha, give me money, give me money!" Lao Wang was dancing and arrogantly: "Earn 15 golden melon seeds with blood, oh my, this money is a good thing, you can help me.
Idea, what should I buy for this first transaction? I’m really worried~"
