Chapter 129: Marens

Kaizhou, the locust hard-hit area, Qin Fei has been on the road for a day and a night, but he didn't see a single bit of greenery.

Most of them were eaten by locusts, and a small part were eaten by the hungry, and the bark of the trees was cut off.

Qin Fei originally thought that he could promote the method of eating locusts, but the locusts had nothing to eat and had already left.

Of course, the people are similar, those who can walk are gone, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled, unable to walk, paralyzed on both sides of the road, some people are still panting, and some people are already flying.

But those who gasped for breath were no different from the dead, skinny and bone-thin, with only a pair of eyes, looking at the sky with paleness and weakness.

Qin Fei once saw a news picture, which was a big-headed doll in Africa, because she did not get enough nutrition all year round, her physical development could not keep up, and her limbs were thin, so she looked big.

In the photo, the child is crawling on the ground, as if he is tired of walking and wants to rest for a while, while a vulture is parked not far away, waiting for a big meal.

When Qin Fei saw this photo back then, although he was shocked, he felt that such a life was far away from him, but he didn't expect that today, looking at it, they are all the same suffering.

This is only a small county town in Kaizhou, and there are still so many victims, and those big cities in the north are even more shocking?

Qin Fei also found that the refugees were not completely without food, they were so hungry that they would eat a white clay - Guanyin soil.

Qin Fei has also seen this thing in some film and television works, Guanyin soil is soft and white, and it looks like dough.

In fact, it is still clay, and it is good to use it to make porcelain, but there is really no way to use it to eat.

If you mix the grain with the Guanyin soil according to a certain proportion, it is not a big problem, if you only eat the Guanyin soil, it can only temporarily relieve the hunger and cannot be absorbed by the human body.

Once you eat too much, the clay stagnation cannot be excreted in the body, and it will kill people alive.

Qin Fei went to get some Guanyin soil to taste, it had the same earthy smell as ordinary soil, and the grit creaked on his teeth, which was very uncomfortable.

In Qin Fei's time, some people used to hang the mantra of "poor to eat soil", which may have originated from Guanyin soil, but if you really want him to eat it, it is estimated that few people can eat it.

Compared with such days, it is really not poor to be able to eat a mouthful of food.

"Ding Dong, trigger a limited-time task, the host can collect Guanyin soil to expand the planting space, and can also exchange a certain amount of ingredients for a limited time of 30 days. ”

The system suddenly spoke.

Qin Fei was stunned, and a burst of ecstasy rose in his heart.

He had come to the north in great spirits, ready to do what he could, but found that the situation was more complicated than he imagined, and he didn't know where to start for a while.

Now that the system has released this limited-time task, it just wants Qin Fei to let go of it.

"Xiao Zhen, I've read a lot of systematic articles, and in comparison, although you are not the most awesome, you are definitely the most humane. Qin Fei didn't know if the system could understand it, so he couldn't help but praise it.

"Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining the marline making process. The system spoke again.

Tsk, I didn't expect the system to like people to praise it, Qin Fei was so happy that he continued to pat himself, but after half an hour, Qin Fei's mouth was blistered, and the system no longer birded him.

Forget it, the thirty-day unlimited ingredients and the maren candy production process are enough for conscience.

By the way, this marline may sound relatively unfamiliar, but it actually has a familiar name - cake cutting.

Cake cutting has a long history and is said to have been on the stage of history during the Silk Road period.

At that time, the Western Regions was the transportation hub of the Silk Road, where caravans supplied food and water.

Because the merchants had to travel for months, the food they carried had to be able to survive for a long time, and it had to contain all the nutrients needed by the human body, otherwise they would die of sepsis like sailors who could not eat fresh food in the Age of Discovery.

Considering various factors, maren candy came into being in the Western Regions.

Its main raw materials are walnut kernels, caramel sugar, raisins, sesame seeds, honey, so it is rich in protein, calcium, iron, carotene, vitamins, etc., and the energy is extremely high.

If Qin Fei provides rice noodles hot pot or something, the refugees will have a full meal at most, and there is only maren candy, which the refugees can take and walk while eating, saving a little, and they will definitely be able to support their physical strength to reach the southern states.

Houpu County, where Qin Fei is located, is only two days' walk away from the southern states, and he can survive if he walks over.

Qin Fei has never been arrogant enough to help everyone, but he can be a springboard to give strength to those who want to survive and make the final sprint.

This can't be said to be completely charitable, after all, there are also benefits of praise and transformation, Qin Fei is full of motivation.

In today's Houpu County, except for some rich families with plenty of food who have not left, most of the houses are unoccupied, Qin Fei found a collapsed house, cleaned it up, and then took advantage of the night when no one paid attention to it, and moved the snack bar out.

The next step is to make marques.

Qin Fei found the system to buy all the materials, the price is not cheaper than the price in the north, fortunately, Guanyin soil can be exchanged for ingredients later, otherwise the financial resources obtained by Qin Fei from eating soft rice will definitely not last for two days.

First, burn some oil, add a large amount of rock sugar, starch syrup, and honey, and stir constantly to turn into sugar water.

In this process, the sugars are caramelized by high temperatures, so the syrup is generally brown.

When you can draw the silk, pour in all kinds of nuts, the proportion is according to personal preference, use low heat, let the nuts and syrup mix well.

Then prepare a piece of kraft paper, brush it with a layer of oil, pour the syrup kernels in the pot on the paper, crush it with a cutting board, and at this time, you can sprinkle some sesame seeds on top to adjust the flavor.

When it cools, the marline is formed.

Qin Fei made a piece of maren candy the size of a grinding plate, the sugar cube was a little transparent, and you could see the nuts with different shapes and bright colors inside, which made people very appetizing.

Qin Fei picked up the kitchen knife and directly cut a small corner, it may be that his kitchen knife is relatively sharp, it is easy to cut, and it smells like a dried fruit.

Put the cut cake in your mouth and chew it, the sugar cubes are chewy and sweet, and the nuts are very crispy, and the two different textures are combined to make your mouth relish.

This maren candy is worthy of being an energy product on the Silk Road, and Qin Fei felt full after eating a few bites.

This night, he made maren candy all night, anyway, he couldn't put it bad if he made too much, and waited until dawn, he made at least a few hundred catties.

If one pound per person, it can fill the stomachs of hundreds of people and go through the last two days.

He was very excited, found a large cloth, wrote the words "Guanyin soil free sugar exchange", and hung it at the door of the snack bar.

Afraid that others would not be illiterate, Qin Fei opened his throat and howled: "Maren candy, Guanyin soil is free to change, hehe!"
