Chapter 16: Pick the big one, keep it ripe!
Zuiyue carried a miner's pickaxe and circled around the squid three times, and couldn't help but sigh: "This squid is too big!" β
Although I have seen it countless times just now, when I really get closer, I will still be shocked by the size of this big squid.
The only weapons in the player's hands are the miner's pickaxe and the wooden saw.
Drunken Moon stepped on the wooden stick on the squid's body and climbed to the top of her head, aiming it at the top of her head and smashing it down.
Dismantling the squid is a physical task, and Drunken Moon commands several other players with wooden saws to begin dismembering the squid's tentacles little by little.
Players are also busy taking surplus logs from the basement, sawing them into slender sticks two fingers thick, skewering squid tentacles and slices of meat onto the sticks, and setting them up next to the roaring stove to dehydrate.
The water in the squid's body evaporated little by little under the scorching flame, and the fat squid meat skewered on the wooden stick became firm, and the air was filled with the faint salty smell of the sea.
Under the command of Zuiyue, everyone finally dismantled the squid, leaving only the largest piece of head and body mouthparts.
"By the way, you should be careful of the broad leaves under the stove, there is something more precious than squid meat on it!" Drunken Moon stepped forward and carefully picked up a yellowed and dehydrated broadleaf that had been roasted by the stove from under the stick, with some fine white granular crystals on it.
"What is this?" Qu Xiaoyun leaned up curiously and asked.
As a war correspondent, it is natural that wherever there is something interesting, she is there.
Today's cooking, she has recorded all the screenshots, just wait for a summary later and send it to the forum to report.
"We're Tazhai Star, what do you say this is?"
Zuiyue made a joke, and then clumsily gathered these white crystal particles with pig's trotters, and said solemnly: "This is coarse salt!" Most of the squid's body is full of water, so I spread a circle of broad leaves next to the stove to collect the water that comes off the squid's flesh, and then the temperature of the stove evaporates the water, and the final crystals are coarse salt. β
"The last time I ate meat, I was thinking that I was missing a little salt, and I was finally not afraid of running out of salt in the future."
Drunken Moon took a string of squid meat, dipped it in the coarse salt on the leaves, and ate it deliciously, and couldn't help but moan in her throat.
Sure enough, with salt, the flavor of squid meat can be fully stimulated.
"You can take these two things, and I'll go to the warehouse to get something." Zuiyue stuffed the coarse salt and squid skewers into Qu Xiaoyun's hands, and then ran to the door of the hall to find Brother Ji.
Now Qu Xiaoyun can be regarded as a big celebrity both inside and outside the game.
Her fame is only lower than that of the "Immortal Bird" Chasing the Wind and the Skeleton King "Rongchang Pig", and she also has the nickname of "War Correspondent".
After a while, Drunken Moon took out a leaf that had been dried and ran back with a palm-sized leaf.
Drunken Moon crumpled the dried leaves with pig's trotters, and the leaves quickly fell apart under the influence of force, and the broken leaves were scattered on the squid meat.
"Come on, you can taste it now!"
Qu Xiaoyun glanced at the squid meat covered with broken leaves, his brows were twisted, and the originally fat brain directly squeezed out a "three" at this moment.
"What is this? Can this still be eaten? Qu Xiaoyun muttered.
Squid with leaves to ensure balanced nutrition?
Zuiyue looked mysterious, just a strong encouragement: "You try, try and you'll know." β
Qu Xiaoyun carefully picked up the squid skewers and smelled them, except for the unique aroma of the squid skewers, he didn't smell any other strange smells. After trying to make a bunch, the pig's mouth began to chew, at first it was nothing, but after just a few seconds, the expression on Qu Xiaoyun's face began to change, beads of sweat began to ooze on his round and stocky cheeks, and the big face of the disc began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Qu Xiaoyun opened his mouth and sucked vigorously: "Spicy, spicy, I want water!" Then, as if out of control, he ran to the wooden trough filled with water, buried his head and began to ......
"Hiccup~" Qu Xiaoyun drank enough water, hiccuped, and there was a slight stinging sensation in his mouth.
"Where did you get this?" Qu Xiaoyun asked excitedly.
Zuiyue looked proud: "When I went up the mountain to cut trees before, I tasted a lot of plants and leaves, and found this plant that can replace chili peppers, so I collected a lot, but I didn't expect it to come in handy this time." β
Qu Xiaoyun's eyes were blazing: "With this thing, you can completely improve your food in the future!" Did you find anything else? Ginger, star anise, cinnamon? β
Drunken Moon shuddered, Qu Xiaoyun's thoughts were very dangerous. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem to ask these spices, but combined with everyone's current identity, I am afraid that it is not good for you to mention these spices again, there is a kind of eerie feeling, and Zuiyue's mind is even full of pictures.
Zuiyue shook her head repeatedly: "A lot of them are weeds, and this spicy leaf is the only plant I found useful after tasting more than a dozen of them." β
The game has been played for three days, and now everyone basically has a consensus.
What Qu Xiaoyun knows, players will soon know for the first test.
For example, the fact that Zuiyue found a spice to replace the chili pepper spread almost like the wind throughout the camp.
Players carry squid skewers on their shoulders, and one by one they follow the mountain sweep, looking down all over the ground to find spicy leaves to add flavor.
"If you can get an iron plate and a little vegetable oil, you can make a hot squid. I heard that there are octopuses and squid in the long beach of wastewater, and the three brothers of the iron plate really got together. Drunken Moon sighed.
The player found a lot of spicy leaves and came back, some of them were dehydrated and dried by the fire, and then kneaded into powder and sprinkled on squid skewers; Some people are in a hurry to crush the spicy leaves and smear the juice on the squid skewers. Ten minutes later, all the players were diving headlong into the log-dug sink. After the spicy relief, I couldn't help but pick it up, and then plunged into the sink again, and so on.
Just when the pigs were dancing wildly, Jiang Han and Brother Ji were in the hall, preparing for going to the City of a Thousand Stars early the day after tomorrow, only to see that the list detailed various items that needed to be purchased and spent.
Ticket (round trip): 4 Stellar.
Base DNA fragment: 0-30 Stellar lumens expected.
Gear Maker/NPC Commission: 0-50 Stellar.
Jiang Han still had a lot of projects in his mind, but after listing three items, he found that the budget funds were on the verge of exhaustion.
There are only 95 Stellar Coins on the entire planet, and you can only complete these three items if you are fully charged for the time being.
"Brother Ji, we have to find a way to open source, after going to the City of a Thousand Stars this time, we will have no money in our hands at all." Jiang Han couldn't help but sigh.
Brother Ji was also full of sadness: "In the past, when the civilization on the planet still existed, although it was a low-level civilization, we also traded with other planets, selling some goods through [Xingtao] in exchange for some stellar coins. But the civilization is gone, there is nothing that can be handled, and there is nothing that can be placed on [Xingtao]. β
Jiang Han thought for a moment.
Now there is nothing in the camp that can be handed, a planet with a land area only the size of Australia, and a planetary mining machine is almost the size of the sun, this resource is like sesame seeds, no one can look at it at all. As for the other outputs, Jiang Han is even more desperate, do you count the sand sculpture players?
Brother Ji stretched out his wings and patted Jiang Han comfortingly: "Boss, let's take it step by step." This time, the main thing is to buy some new DNA fragments, expand the DNA library, and buy a suitable manufacturing machine or hire a helper. Now players can use tools to obtain resources, as long as these two things are in place, we can slowly produce some equipment or materials, and when the time comes, we can consider selling them through [Xingtao]. Although you can't make much money in the early stage, you can slowly accumulate the principal. β
Jiang Han nodded helplessly, now there is only this way that Brother Ji said.
Although the process will be a little slower, everything will slowly get better.
"Guang Ji Liang is slowly king, and now it seems that it can only be like this." Jiang Han stroked and aggravated under the equipment manufacturing machine, which is the top priority of the itinerary the day after tomorrow!
Brother Ji's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Boss, you are really a golden sentence with frequent words, and your mouth is full of chapters, just six words summarize my 131-word content, really like a Wenqu star, and the talent in the belly is like the Andromeda Galaxy, vast but incomparably shiny, enough to make the entire galaxy lose its color!" β
Jiang Han had no expression on his face, just listen to Brother Ji's rainbow fart, it's really unbelievable.
But thinking about it, Jiang Han's face gradually distorted, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and he couldn't help it anymore......
"Oh yes, I'll have to find a way to change the resurrection point in the future. If the player is injured, they can also come to you for treatment. After all, we are now seriously short of labor, if some guys like chasing the wind are injured and choose to hold on, our output value and progress will inevitably be affected, and your tasks and burdens will be heavier during this time. When we have saved enough principal, I will go to the City of a Thousand Stars to buy a resurrection robot as soon as possible. β
As soon as Jiang Han finished speaking, a heart-rending shout came from outside the hall: "Brother Ji is not good, Xiaoyun's gums have been broken!" Let's see if you can save it! β
Broken gums?
Jiang Han and Brother Ji looked at each other, what is this new way of dying?
Walking out of the hall, Jiang Han saw Qu Xiaoyun holding her mouth at a glance, looking like an old grandmother with all her teeth lost at this moment. Look at her pig's trotters again, holding crushed teeth and gums, and the expression on her face is full of grievances.
The skeletal Rongchang pig next to him smiled happily, his mouth couldn't close, and he was still holding a silver shining armor in both hands, and a row of concave steel seals were clearly visible on the armor.
Jiang Han suddenly realized, as if he knew what was going on......
"Well, who's going to stand up and tell me what's going on?" Jiang Han still spoke, letting the player repeat it.
After listening to it, as Jiang Han expected, there were objects left over from other civilizations in the body of this little squid leader.
After the drunken moon is in Ku Ding, the squid is left with the most central heart organ in the body, because this part is not easy to disassemble, so it is finally roasted next to the stove thoroughly, and the drunken moon means that everyone has a mouthful, first eat this middle part, and the squid strips that have been dried before are kept for future rations.
As a result, when everyone took turns to gnaw on the squid, Qu Xiaoyun won the jackpot with one mouth!
"Brother Ji, you can help her treat it, the gums are gone, and the food can't be eaten, even if she doesn't treat her for two days, she will starve to death."
Qu Xiaoyun listened to King Han's words and nodded vigorously.
Starving to death is probably the most terrible way to die in the game. If you haven't eaten before, you don't have to choose. Now there is a choice, Xiaoyun wants to be a full ghost. The whole camp was filled with the smell of spicy squid roast, and if you can't eat it, it's really worse than death.
As for letting others chew and feed, it's better to die!
Brother Ji asked Qu Xiaoyun to stand in the circle of the resurrection point, waved his hand casually, teeth and gums disappeared from his hand, Qu Xiaoyun reached out and touched his fat cheeks and chin, and said in surprise: "Can I speak?" β
Then Brother Ji jumped up from the ground, took out a pen from his mouth, drew the word "resurrection" on the resurrection point, drew a big Γ, and rewrote the crooked word "treatment" next to it.
Players are all boiling over when they see the resurrection point change its name.
Could it be that if you are injured or something in the future, you can also find Brother Ji for treatment? That's a good thing!
Jiang Han stood up at the right time and said: "The warriors are fighting against the evil forces on the front line, and it is really painful for me as a leader to see the soldiers dragging their tired bodies, so I have consumed most of my divine power, so that Brother Ji has extra energy to treat your injuries, I hope you can make persistent efforts to build a new home!" β
When the players heard this, they wept with gratitude.

Hanwang Beef Beer!
"Let's go, anyway, we have already eaten and drunk enough, we will go to Waste Water Long Beach now to eliminate the minions of the ancient gods, contribute to the King of Han, and avenge Xiaoyun!" I don't know who jumped up and shouted slogans.
The other players also got up, with only four words written in their eyes - eager to try.
Whoa!
Needless to say, players picked up their weapons, grabbed torches, and swiped their way to Waste Beach.
Qu Xiaoyun was extremely moved, these players who had never met in their lives now didn't even eat in order to avenge her.
It's just that before everyone is far away, a few people who are left alone in the camp vaguely hear a word.
"Pick a big kill later, explode equipment, and keep it ripe!"
