To be honest, Liu Xing has been living a healthy life since joining the martial arts module. He goes to bed early and gets up early every day, but this is the first time he does it so early as today.
So looking at the other players who were still sleeping, Liu Xing could only do the experiment lightly. However, a big problem arose in the first step of the experiment, that is, the apples that were cut yesterday were not stored at this time.
It has completely turned into dried apples, with no moisture at all.
Obviously, this must be abnormal.
Although the weather has been quite hot these two days, it is unlikely that these halved apples will turn into dried apples overnight, unless someone has nothing to do in the middle of the night and takes these apples to the fire to bake.
Dry.
But, although air-drying and baking-drying seem to be the same, they both try to completely remove the moisture from an object. The final results seem to be similar, but upon closer inspection, you can still find the differences between the two.
the difference.
As for apples, the difference between air-drying and baking-drying is even greater. To put it simply, baked-dried apples will have a little smoke, especially on the skin of the apple, and the one in front of Liu Xing's eyes
There is no smokey smell from the skin of the apple, and it dries very naturally.
This reminded Liu Xing of a friend of his who once raised a hamster in his dormitory. In order to bring the hamster to the classroom with him, he specially made it out of a four-yuan iced tea bottle.
A simple cage, and when eating apples every day, he would give a little to his hamster.
As a result, the day before summer vacation, this friend's family had some problems, so he left in a hurry. Then when the next semester started, Liu Xing saw a piece of dried apple and a hamster mummy.
So at that time, Liu Xing remembered what a completely dried apple looked like.
"Huh? How did this piece of apple become like this?"
While Liu Xing was stunned, Shi Zixuan had already come to Liu Xing's side, "This should be naturally air-dried, right? Because if it is dried by fire or drying, the peel should have a certain curl, no
It will look so natural.”
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "I think so too, and I don't think anyone would be so bored as to do something small at this time. Besides, there were people on the night shift last night, so unless it was a thief, no one could
I secretly turned all these apples into dried apples; actually yesterday I felt that the apples were a bit too watery because Xu Bin only took such a small bite and then spit it out immediately.
But it was still infected, so I thought the apple might have the same water content as a watermelon, so as long as you take a bite, the juice will overflow."
"Is that why the apples were dried overnight?"
Shi Zixuan thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Maybe this is really possible, because judging from the degree of drying of these pieces of apples, they are indeed very moist. There is not much pulp on the peel now, and from now on
From a scientific point of view, this evolutionary direction is also the best choice for today's apples. After all, their appearance is so poor that it is difficult to attract diners to open their mouths for them, so in order to achieve success, they must
...Wait a minute, this doesn’t seem to have anything to do with evolution. After all, the fruits of plants exist for reproduction, so this evolutionary direction cannot make these apples bloom faster, unless these apples
The seeds have been integrated into the water?"
"So these apples should be the result of artificial transformation, and if this is the case, then the blame still has to be thrown to the forces that created the Warcraft, because if it is the disciples of the farmers who cultivate these apples, then no matter how biased the direction they go,
, it is impossible for these apples to be so horribly toxic! What’s more, the farmers in the martial arts module this time are actually similar to the agricultural colleges in the real world. They are cultivated and planted in closed venues in various places. Those who do not meet the requirements
All expected new varieties will be destroyed directly, so apples like this should not be able to leave the experimental fields."
Liu Xing looked at the apples on the tree next to him and continued: "But, I still don't understand why this kind of apple appears here, because it cannot be artificially cultivated. After all, even if it is a genetic mutation, it is impossible
Apples that mutate with this effect, so they can only be specially modified by some people! Since these apples are specially modified, the purpose of the people or forces who do this must be to make a big splash at some point.
Relying on these apples to obtain certain benefits, it is impossible for them to appear in advance."
"Uh, Alliance Leader, do you think there is a possibility that this kind of apple is actually a new variety created by the Cthulhu Running Team game hall? Because this time the martial arts module uses a completely fictional
It’s a new world, so it’s normal for some animals and plants that we haven’t seen before to appear, just like the medical books you’ve read, Alliance Leader, there are many herbs that don’t exist in the real world.”
Liu Xing looked back and saw Schiller with a serious expression.
For a moment, Liu Xing didn't know what to say, because he had to admit that Schiller's idea made sense.
But, it seems that I and my master Zixuan are a bit stupid, and after analyzing it, they are all in vain.
So at this time, Liu Xing felt that he was losing face, so he could only smile awkwardly.
Fortunately, at this time, Miao Fei came back with the hunting team, and it was obvious that they had gained a lot, because everyone was holding a pheasant in their hands.
But what makes Liu Xing feel a little strange is that these pheasants all look very sick. Even if they are caught, they are weak and seem to have died.
It's a bit strange.
No, it doesn't seem strange, because since these pheasants live in this abandoned orchard, their food should include ripe and fallen apples.
Although the digestive systems of many animals are different from humans, some things that humans cannot eat are considered as food that can be eaten casually in the eyes of some animals. Therefore, these pheasants will not have any big problems after eating apples.
question.
But there are no major problems, but minor problems are inevitable, so these pheasants are now in a state of "drunk life and death" and have become less energetic.
Of course, it is also possible that these overripe and fallen apples have already started fermenting themselves, and this can be regarded as the true prototype of cider.
"It's a good harvest."
In order to change the topic, Liu Xing directly faced Miao Fei.
"Yes, the reason why these pheasants gather in this forest is because they want to eat the apples that fell on the ground. And this is indeed the case. They get drunk directly after eating the apples."
Miao Fei said with a smile: "I have bought several boxes of apples from the restaurant before, but maybe because of improper storage, the last box of apples was immediately spoiled, and the chef of the restaurant did not want to waste these rotten apples, so he
I fed these apples to the chickens and ducks, but the next day, I found that the chickens and ducks had all fallen to the ground, just like the pheasants."
Liu Xing looked at Miao Fei with some surprise. He didn't expect that he could understand why these pheasants became like this, but this also allowed him to save some saliva.
But just when Miao Fei was leading others to handle the pheasants, Schiller couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "I remember that an important step in brewing is saccharification, so can this sour apple be converted into alcohol?
"
"That's because no matter how sour the fruit is, it actually contains a lot of sugar. What's more, even rice that has no taste at all can be used to make wine."
Shi Zixuan gave a hunch and continued: "By the way, Alliance Leader, I am here to thank you on behalf of Yang Ping. By the way, I want to apply for another activity fund from you; of course, if there is someone in Tianshui Town,
If there are enough jars, then the money can be reduced, because brewing still requires clean jars to prevent the yeast from being contaminated and ineffective."
"Then you'd better just buy a new one. There are some empty jars in Tianshui Town, but they don't seem to be suitable for making wine. However, it's better to buy this wine jar in Boyang City. After all, this jar is quite heavy.
So it would be nice if we could save some distance." Liu Xing nodded and said.
Although there is already a brewery in Tianshui Town, the main business of this brewery is to make distilled liquor, so it is different from Yang Ping's brewing direction, so it is better not to let them share the same jar.
After sending Master Zixuan away, it was completely bright and the campground became lively at this time.
Although Liu Xing was a little hesitant about the dried apples, thinking that they might not be able to be stored for a long time, he still held on to a glimmer of hope and let the players pick a basket and take it away. Anyway, the team was not short of such a load.
But before that, Liu Xing did not forget to ask the players to notify nearby NPCs, explaining that there was something wrong with these apples, and the reason why his group collected these apples was for other purposes, so as to avoid some NPCs from
Eat these apples by mistake.
Liu Xing didn't want to hear a series of wailing sounds in the motorcade on the way.
As for breakfast today, since I was sure that I would be able to drink delicious chicken soup at noon, I just ate some steamed buns, pickles and rice porridge, and then continued towards Tianshui Town.
As a result, the convoy didn't have time to go far before they saw Yang De and others lying on the road.
This startled Dong Qing, who was walking at the front, and he quickly went to check on Yang De and others. Then he found that there were no major problems with these people, but they were just suffering from dehydration and heat stroke.
However, all the players present knew that the reason why Yang De and others became like this was probably because they ate apples from the tree like Xu Bin, because there were also apple trees where they camped.
That's right, although Yang De and others were only two steps ahead of the convoy, they did not come back to rest with the convoy. This is also known as "a good horse never looks back". As for the real situation, Yang De
When they set out, they brought some dry food, which was a small improvement compared to the normal food for the team. Moreover, Yang De and others also had a lot of money with them. If they passed through a small town, they could also go to restaurants. In short, it was better than
They should eat well, drink well, and be more relaxed when following the convoy, because they only need to ensure that they go faster than the convoy.
The result was indeed the same. After Yang De and others calmed down, they mentioned that they also ate apples from the tree last night, and then triggered the same negative state as Xu Bin.
But what’s even more outrageous is that when these guys saw that the apples on the trees looked so ugly, they already realized that these apples might not be very tasty, so they instead made a bet with these apples, that is, each of them chose an apple, and who would
If you eat the least, you will have to accept the punishment, that is, you will be responsible for washing everyone's clothes within three days.
There is no way, the weather has been a bit hot these two days, and there are no shade trees along the way, so everyone has to wash clothes every day, which is a kind of torture for players who are used to washing machines.
Although it doesn’t take much time and energy to wash clothes, in the real world it is just a piece of cake. Therefore, many players start to bet on various things on the first day of the team’s departure. The bet is that the loser helps the winner to wash the clothes.
.
But the interesting thing is that if the result of the bet is a draw, such as rock, paper, scissors, then there will be a 100% draw!
The reason is very simple. Isn’t there insufficient computing power in this martial arts module? Therefore, many simple judgments are directly successful. Therefore, when these players bet, their judgments are all successful, so the final result is
It can only be a draw.
So Yang De and others thought of deciding the outcome by eating apples, and the final result was that everyone fell into the trap.
Originally, Yang De and others wanted to take advantage of the gap between the two negative states to return to the convoy, but the problem was that the first negative state they randomly entered made them incapacitated, and then a series of blows made them collapse.
I couldn't move on the road.
A bunch of unlucky guys.
Liu Xing shook his head and arranged for other players to be the forwards of the team, because this position was indispensable. After all, the lesson learned from the big black bear was still fresh in his mind.
So, Schiller led a few people to the front of the motorcade.
Liu Xing, who had returned to the carriage, was telling Wang Wu a story.
Wang Wu was very curious about one thing, and that was why the big black bear suddenly stayed in place motionless, because this matter was beyond his cognitive level.
Of course, Liu Xing felt that if he were an NPC, he would not be able to understand why the big black bear stood there and began to think about life, as if he was possessed by Balotelli.
