Chapter 77 76. The meaning of food

Wen Xia was used to having to pay for everything, and when someone helped him, he came as much as he wanted.

In addition to a piece of pork head, Wen Xia took out a handful of dry cold noodles. After cooking, he chilled them in cold water. After the temperature dropped, he mixed them with oil and left them. He had another snack at night.

As for dinner, considering the physical work that Gergil and the others are doing outside, which puts a heavy burden on their bodies, it is still rice porridge, with thick pumpkin cooked in it, and the sweet smell spreads directly from the water vapor. come out.

It’s not difficult to make, and it doesn’t even take an hour until everything is ready.

Seeing that several people still didn't come back, Wen Xia came to the outside of the pig pen with a knife, planning to kill two wild boars to make jerky snacks.

These pigs survived the lack of food for more than a month in the Nameless Realm. As the sweet potatoes matured, they finally lived a leisurely life with plenty of fish and meat without any danger.

The little piglets were killed one by one. Even if more than ten were given to the Huaxia logistics team, and even a few big fat pigs were sold, there are still more than a dozen wild boars snatching food in the pig pen.

The two sows had huge bellies, carrying an unknown number of piglets.

"Boss Wen! Boss Wen!" A voice called from afar.

Wen Xia looked back with the knife in his hand, and saw Gejir and others with pale faces walking back precariously carrying a wooden board filled with yellow crystal stones.

The situation is not good.

She looked at the yellow spar on the wooden board, and then at the wild boars huddled together in the pig pen, trembling and feeling the danger, and gave up her idea.

"Back? Drink water."

There were several bowls of tea to relieve the heat on the table. Wen Xia used her mental power to help unload the ore onto the ground, then picked up a bowl of water and handed it over.

Gejir and others were already tired, thirsty and hungry. Despite this, they were still very careful when taking the bowl, for fear of leaking a drop of water on the ground.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

The bowl full of water quickly reached the bottom. Several people let out a long sigh of relief and regained their strength.

"The harvest is good. Take a rest and get ready to eat."

A faint sour smell came from outside. Wen Xia glanced at a few people, frowned slightly and walked back, then filled the rice and vegetables and put them out.

When it comes to eating, everyone's eyes light up. Their eyes fall directly on the bowls placed on the table one by one. Looking at the red chili oil and green vegetables inside, tears can't help but flow from their eyes.

There is meat!

There is actually meat today!

"Boss Wen, this meal must not be cheap. We found a lot of rocks today. You can collect them as you please." Louis said with red eyes, his stomach was already growling with hunger.

"Yes, Boss Wen, you are so kind!" Patrick said movedly.

Although the others did not speak, their faces clearly expressed the same meaning.

Wen Xia shook his head in a funny way, "I eat the same thing as you, so naturally I am concerned about my taste. Don't think too much. It's not impossible to be a vegetarian tomorrow."

When it comes to eating, Wen Xia is willing to give up. Now she is not short of such a few bites of meat. She can let a few people have a taste, and maybe she will come back to buy it next time!
Judging from today's harvest, these people will definitely be his big customers in the future.

Thinking like this, Wen Xia raised his eyebrows and said, "I see it's sunny outside, and it's inconvenient for you to transport stones back and forth. I can make a simple wooden cart for you, and you can buy it with money."

"Wooden cart?" Lewis and Gergil looked at each other.

"We need it very much. Please give us three cars. We will bring back a lot of ore." Gezier said first.

In the past, their servants used wooden carts, but as the air became hotter and hotter, the wood became brittle in the sun. Now, if you want to find wood to ride on the cart, you can't find it.

"Don't worry, think about it carefully. I will spend a day preparing it and I will give it to you the day after tomorrow at the latest." Wen Xia said with a smile, "I also have fresh fruits here, including iced watermelon, which has a lot of water, but the charge is more expensive. If You can talk to me if you need to.”

Since he is a big customer, he naturally has to entertain him with his own goodies.

While several people were eating, Wen Xia brought over the watermelon that had been chilled in the creek in an ice water container.

Almost immediately, a group of people's eyes drifted over uncontrollably.

"It looks so... delicious..." Tabor touched his newly full belly, and the saliva in his mouth was still secreting.

Gergil and Lewis ate spicy pork head meat and vegetables, their lips turned red from the spicy food, and their eyes even shed physiological tears.

"Siha... I, I think we can ask about the price... The ore can be bought. If I can't eat this, I will regret it for the rest of my life." Nick said stumblingly, his face turned red from the heat, and the sweat on his forehead was worse than the sun. Sweat more.

"Louis, I want to eat too." Raman called his brother's name.

"... We now have today and there may be no tomorrow. There is no point in saving. Why not..." Lewis looked at Gergil.

In just one day, he and Gejir had become the leaders of the two teams respectively. Since they were in a cooperative relationship, they naturally had to discuss things with each other.

"I agree... watermelons, there are a lot of big watermelons there, they shouldn't be very expensive..." Gejir hesitated.

"No matter, let's buy that piece." Louis said decisively.

Wen Xia was eating ice cream and playing games in her room when she heard another shout from downstairs.

She looked down from the balcony and heard Lewis say: "Boss Wen, could you please help with the weighing? We will settle the debt first and then want to buy some supplies."

"no problem."

Wen Xia put on her shoes and went downstairs. The electronic scale was placed at the door of Wumingjing, a template was placed on it, and then several golden stones were placed on it one by one.

The weight of the ore is very heavy, a full 89 kilograms, which is enough to repay the debt of more than stones that were previously owed on credit.

"Do you want to keep the rest, or should I exchange it for you for supplies?" At this time, Wen Xia's eyes were so bright that these ores can replace the star ore, and they can be exchanged for just some food and drink. She earned Big.

"Half will be replaced with water and breakfast, and the other half, didn't you say there are wooden carts? We want 3 wooden carts, and, and this watermelon, have you seen enough?" Louis said, his mouth was dry, it was hard work The rocks dug out in one day were given away, and he still felt a little distressed.

"Enough. I'll put the water in a big bucket for you. Cover it so it won't evaporate. If there's more, I'll give you sugar and biscuits to replenish your energy. Just wait."

Wen Xia moved quickly, fearing that they would regret their consumption, so she directly used her mental power to take out a sufficient number of 20-liter barrels of water from the yard, followed by a pile of dry and crunchy bulk biscuits. "This, so much?" Tabor was stunned. The water and food on the ground were enough for 12 of them to eat for several days!
"Your breakfast can be replaced with water or these biscuits. I will write out the exchange rules tonight. You can see what you need." Wen Xia explained.

This much ore can be exchanged for breakfast for a few people for ten days. The advantage is that it can be eaten hot. As long as there is water in the meal, they don't have to spend money to buy water.

The bad news is that we can’t bring dry food, so we have to come back to eat.

"...Understood, Boss Wen, we need more dry food and water. We will come back when your rules come out." Lewis said.

"Okay, put the watermelon here, the water inside can be given to you, cut it yourself." Wen Xia smiled happily, waved his hand and put the stone into the corner of the yard, put all the supplies outside, and went back to optimize the menu went.

To be honest, this world is a bit boring. Apart from the stone-walled mountains that are motionless and only shine like gemstones, the most abundant things are yellow sand and the sun.

The menu was updated early the next morning. Wen Xia put the bowls that several people had eaten last night into the dishwasher and washed them. Then he sharpened his knife again and slashed at the pigs and sheep, killing two wild boars with one knife.

Now the conditions are much better than before, and with the blessing of mental power, no matter how crazy the wild boar's struggle is, it can't be faster than the knife in her hand.

Pig blood was collected in five large basins, mixed with salt and water and placed. This was today's lunch.

Then we started cutting the pig to get the meat. The internal organs were a little smelly, so we left them aside for the time being.

The pork is cut into long strips of palm length, cleaned and marinated with salt and various aniseed ingredients, the most essential of which is chili pepper.

After the pork is flavored, hang it on a rack and expose it directly to the sun outside.

With the weather outside, the eggs would be cooked in half an hour.

After hanging the meat for two days, it becomes edible jerky.

This is the little snack she made for herself.

Because the wild boar has been kept in captivity for a long time, the meat on its body is alternately fat and fat, so it is very suitable for making jerky.

As for the pork ribs, they can be made into bacon, and then it’s good to stew them into soup.

While making jerky, I also made pork blood and vermicelli soup for breakfast. Mix a few bowls of flour into the soup and the thick soup is ready.

After eating, my stomach is full and my body is warm.

Patrick and the others left last night with dry food and water. They only spoke to Xiaobai who was keeping watch at night, saying that they would work while the temperature was low at night. The remaining food and water that could not be taken away were left at the door. , and no one can take it.

Wen Xia didn't have any objections. Anyway, in the end, these stones were all his own.

The more diligent a person is, the more she will get.

After breakfast, Wen Xia absorbed a few spiritual crystals. According to yesterday's plan, he found a pile of wood and simply made it into wooden boards. Then, according to the tutorial in the woodworking video provided by Wu Ruizhi, he took out a bunch of tools and The nails came out and I was ready to make a wooden cart.

The speed goes very fast when the tool is powerful.

One morning passed, and a simple two-wheeled large wooden cart was ready. Each joint was fixed with screws, which was stronger than expected.

It can bear a weight of 200 pounds no problem.

With his first manual experience, Wen Xia doubled his confidence and spent another afternoon completing two wooden carts. At the same time, he also made a small cart with a hemp rope tied to it, and it was ready with a set of tools. .

Because of the physical work I did, I made spicy braised pork and white rice directly for lunch, and had a great meal with braised eggplant.

At night, a few of Gejier's group finally came back.

"Why are you the only ones back?" Wen Xia asked curiously.

On the bench outside, Patrick and Tabor came back with their two sisters, plus Laman. Compared with yesterday, they were not too embarrassed.

"Boss Wen, we want to see if the cart you mentioned can be used. We found a vein last night, which is full of the stones you want!" Patrick was so excited that he completely lost his usual maturity and poise.

"Ore vein?" This was beyond Wen Xia's expectation.

How many people are pretty lucky?
"Yes, we dug in last night and made a temporary resting place inside. If your cart is ready, we can send it back one after another in the future." Raman explained.

It can be seen that several people are indeed hardworking.

Wen Xia nodded, put out the three or two carts in the space ring, and motioned for a few people to give it a try: "Try it, there is also this small cart, I will give it to you if you need it."

Three large carts and a small cart were all sent out. Wen Xia didn't feel bad at all. Seeing the eyes of several people widening in surprise, she thought to herself: The wool comes from the sheep, and she actually doesn't lose. .

"Thank you! That's great. With these cars, it will be much easier for us to deliver things back." Patrick said with a smile.

"As long as it makes you feel that it's worth your money. By the way, there's still rice in the pot. Do you want to eat before you leave?"

"Really? Thank you so much, hehe... We have been hungry for a long time. Although the dry food you gave us is delicious, we still miss this bite you made." Raman smiled sheepishly. laugh.

Tabor and his two sisters had already subconsciously looked into the boiler in front of them, sniffing the smell inside, and only smelled a faint spicy smell.

"The remaining pig blood and vermicelli soup in the morning, wait for me to heat it up for a while, you can sit down." Wen Xia waved and said, turning on the heat to heat the rice.

The thick liquid in the open pot began to boil and bubble. She stirred it with her sister-in-law, but it became hot within a few minutes.

Each of the five of them had a big bowl, and they left with smiles after eating to their fullest. They looked so energetic that Wen Xia even suspected that they were not ready to sleep!

Seeing that they showed no sign of coming back, she packed up their belongings and entered the unknown realm. There was still food in the pots, no need to wash them, and the bowls were thrown directly into the dishwasher, and everything was forgotten.

I clapped my hands and went upstairs to rest.

In the starry night sky, the clear afterglow shines on the extremely silent land. In the vast place, there are only the footsteps of a few moving figures, as well as the sound of wooden carts rolling on the ground and the sounds of stones.

"That pig blood vermicelli soup is delicious. I have never tasted such a warm and delicious soup!" Tabo relished the salty taste in his mouth, and his eyes were full of happiness.

"This is the food given to us by the gods. If we can eat it, we will be full... This soup reminds me of a few months ago. Although our family was poor, we would find an opportunity to eat meat every week." Raman A sob, the sound awakened the others in their trance.

Patrick rubbed his brother's head and murmured: "The sun used to be warm and the earth was full of green... Our fields are vast and we can't finish the food every year, but it's because... Because of this damn drought, people are struggling to make ends meet. Disputes are rife, we can’t bear the food supply, and there are several people left..."
