Chapter 016: Big Belly

Qin Fei's mood today was not very good, and he seemed very silent.

When Chen Sanye and Ayi sent today's crayfish, he picked out the best quality batch, burned a pot of spicy ones, packed them in a food box, and then said: "Xiaolan, if you send these to Li Bing's house, you will say that the money has been paid." ”

Qin Fei is just a small person, he can't do much, he can only help the hero fulfill this little wish.

Chu Youlan nodded and went out with the food box.

"Ding Dong, trigger achievement, thank you from the deceased, get a chance to draw a lottery, do you want to use it?"

Qin Fei was stunned, his heart was mixed, and finally ordered: "Use it." ”

"The lottery was successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining the production process of hot and sour noodles. ”

It is rumored that hot and sour noodles are snacks that originated in western Sichuan, which have been improved in various places, integrating the flavors of numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, and sour, and the sweet potato vermicelli is tender and smooth, and it is very refreshing and appetizing.

Qin Fei was not in a good mood today, so he simply closed for a day and devoted himself to making hot and sour noodles.

was about to go out to buy sweet potatoes, when Wang Ziduan, who hadn't seen anyone for several days, came to the door.

"Godfather, the mass production of hot sauce has been successful, you try the flavor, if it's okay, it's ready to be put on the shelves. Wang Ziduan brought up a clay pot.

After opening the seal, Qin Fei tasted it, and the taste was very reductive, almost the same as what he had refined, so he said, "No problem." ”

"Okay. As Wang Ziduan spoke, he was about to get up and go back, but he almost collapsed when he couldn't stand firmly.

Qin Fei saw that his face was not good, and he was obviously lacking in qi and blood, and asked, "You have lost a lot of weight than a few days ago, but you are sick?"

When Wang Ziduan heard this, he was overjoyed: "Are you really thin?"

Wang Ziduan said proudly: "To be honest, I've been losing weight recently." ”

It's still good for this fat man to be lazy and willing to make this determination, Qin Fei said: "Although losing weight is a good thing, don't work too hard." ”

The fat man looked mysterious: "Not only is it not hard, but it is also very cool." ”

"Godfather, I'll withdraw first if there's nothing to do. "The fat man decided to go and experience the top weight loss package today.

"Well, go ahead. Qin Fei didn't think much about it, he also had something to do, if he knew what method the fat man used to lose weight, out of humanitarianism, he would definitely remind him.

Qin Fei went to the vegetable market, and bought all the auxiliary materials for soybeans, peanuts, etc., but only sweet potato powder, the main material of hot and sour noodles, was not sold.

even inquired, there is no sweet potato crop in the Xuanwu Continent at all.

Of course, it can be replaced by other fans, but it is not authentic hot and sour noodles, and Qin Fei doesn't want to have regrets.

"System, how do you sell sweet potatoes?" The system said that it could provide ingredients, but the price was more impressive.

But there is no way to be expensive, Qin Fei is ready to buy some sweet potatoes with pain, cellar them for a period of time, and after the seedlings are born, they can be put into the soil for cultivation and grow more sweet potatoes.

At that time, sweet potatoes will be inexhaustible, and it will not be too much of a loss.

"Ten taels of silver per catty. "The system offered an offer.

"Then let's have two pounds. "Fortunately, the snack bar business is booming, and Qin Fei can afford to make money.

said it was two catties of sweet potatoes, but in fact, there were only two after getting it, each one catty.

The sweet potatoes provided by the system are in good condition, round and full, with bright red skin and a rich potato aroma.

If it weren't for the thought of ten taels of silver, Qin Fei almost couldn't help but gnaw it as a fruit.

At this time, the system said: "Ding Dong, unlock the planting space." ”

"What does the cultivation space do?" Qin Fei said curiously.

"It can be used to grow crops, automatically provide sufficient nutrients and sunlight, and can speed up the passage of time and shorten the growth cycle of crops. ”

It sounds a bit like mechanical space.

You must know that Qin Fei spent a full five hundred taels of silver in order to unlock the mechanical space that day, but he didn't expect this planting space to be unlocked for free and make a lot of money.

But when Qin Fei put his consciousness into the planting space, he was suddenly square.

Only a piece of land the size of a toilet can be used for free, and if you want to unlock more land, you need to spend 500 taels of silver a piece.

In addition, it costs money to accelerate the growth cycle of farming.

The system of this profiteer, good do not learn, learn to pick the farm.

"Dingdong, crops detected, are they being cultivated?" the system prompted.

"Let's cultivate. "You don't have to loosen the soil and farm the land yourself, but it saves some work.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the two large sweet potatoes in Qin Fei's hands began to sprout and sprout, and then split into several pieces and buried evenly into the soil ridges of the planting space.

Subsequently, a string of characters appeared over the land: "Until the harvest, March 20, 18 hours, 30 minutes and 55 seconds." ”

There was also a virtual button of "Trial Acceleration" next to it, Qin Fei thought that the trial would not be paid, and he would not use it in vain, so he clicked on the trial.

Time passed quickly, and the tender sweet potato seedlings grew out of the ridges at a speed visible to the naked eye, greedily absorbing the light and rain, swaying gracefully, like a pavilion girl.

In a short time, the turquoise sweet potato leaves covered the entire land, and the trial acceleration was over, and there were still 10 months left before the harvest time.

If you want to use the acceleration function again, you have to spend ten taels of silver.

The corners of Qin Fei's mouth twitched, this cost is really not low, but after experiencing the convenience of ultra-high-speed growth, I am afraid that I will not have the patience to wait, I have to make a bowl of hot and sour noodles today.

But before enabling acceleration at his own expense, Qin Fei picked a handful of sweet potato tips.

Sweet potato leaf tips can be used for stir-frying, and removing excess leaves will make the rhizomes grow larger and the sweet potatoes sweeter.

Immediately afterward, Qin Fei endured the pain and consumed ten taels of silver, accelerating until the sweet potatoes were ripe.

"The crops are ripe, are they harvested?" the system prompts.

"Yes. Qin Fei gave an order.

Sweet potato vines rise from the ground on their own, and each plant can pull out three or five sweet potatoes, which are not small, at least each weighing a catty.

With such a large piece of land as the toilet, Qin Fei actually harvested more than fifty catties, this yield is terrifying.

Because the planting space is not in season, Qin Fei left two catties of sweet potatoes as seeds to continue cultivating, of course, this time he is reluctant to use the acceleration function, just wait for it to mature naturally.

The remaining sweet potatoes were taken out of the planting space by Qin Fei.

At this moment, Chu Youlan had already returned from delivering takeout, and Qin Fei asked about the situation.

Chu Youlan said: "The neighbors are all helping to deal with the aftermath, I heard that the government has sent a pension, and Sister-in-law Li has also been arranged to cook at the county office, so it should not be a problem in the future." ”

"Hmm. Qin Fei's heart settled down a little, and he asked again, "Are you hungry?" I'll make you something to eat." ”

The two of them didn't eat breakfast since they got up today, they were busy in the morning, and they were indeed hungry, Chu Youlan thought that Qin Fei would make spicy crayfish or fried snails, so she swallowed and swallowed her saliva.

As a result, Qin Fei was fiddling with a bunch of completely unknown lumpy plants.

"Brother Qin, what is this?" Chu Youlan looked curious.

"Sweet potatoes. Qin Fei had already cut the sweet potato peel into pieces and put it in the scoop, "Xiao Lan, come and help me handle these sweet potatoes like this." ”

Without a grinder, Qin Fei had to mash the sweet potatoes into a pulp by hand, which was a hard work, but fortunately, with the cultivation of a second-order martial artist in the Force Realm, the efficiency was very high.

With Chu Youlan's assistance, Qin Fei quickly polished twenty catties of sweet potato pulp.

Then rinse and filter to filter out the plant fibers, leaving only the sweet potato starch.

Add a small amount of salt and let it stand for a while, the starch is deposited on the bottom of the water, and the surface supernatant is poured out, which gives sweet potato starch.

In principle, these sweet potato flour should taste better after drying, but Qin Fei was in a hurry to try it, so he directly started the follow-up process.

Put the sweet potato starch in an iron pot and boil, stirring constantly, to form a sticky paste.

During this period, Qin Fei thought of something, and asked Chu Youlan to bring two sweet potatoes without peeling, bury them under the charcoal ash of the stove, and make hot and sour noodles later, so that they can eat fragrant roasted sweet potatoes at the same time.

Then comes the final link, the filament.

Boil a pot of boiling water and fill the colander with a paste of sweet potato starch, which will naturally flow out into silk through the holes of the colander under the action of gravity.

Once the vermicelli is in boiling water, it is cooked and turns into a transparent tan color, which sets the shape.

Seeing this magical scene, Chu Youlan clapped her little hands: "Wow, Brother Qin is so powerful." ”

Qin Fei looked complacent, no wonder he had to take a girl to play a game, even if he was a girl, he could shout 666 at a critical moment, which was quite fulfilling.

Remove the vermicelli into the cold water on the other side and wait for use.

Handmade sweet potato vermicelli is done.

Next, you can make hot and sour noodles.

Stir-fry a handful of soybeans without oil, burst out the aroma and stir-fry a plate of peanuts in oil.

Prepare two large bowls, add sesame oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, garlic paste, and a spoonful of broth to dissolve.

Two handfuls of green cabbage leaves, one chopsticks of sweet potato powder, blanch up and down in a pot of boiling water, and put them in a bowl.

Finally, scoop a spoonful of peanuts, a spoonful of soybeans, sprinkle some sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and chopped coriander on top of the sweet potato flour, and finally a spoonful of hot red oil.

The rising heat and the fragrance of the spices suddenly spread, and Chu Youlan sniffed and swallowed.

Qin Fei said, "You can eat it." ”

Chu Youlan was so hungry that she immediately moved her chopsticks, but the sweet potato flour was too slippery, unlike noodles, and it was difficult to pick it up.

Qin Fei said: "Put your mouth to the bowl and snort directly." ”

Chu Youlan is a beautiful lady for everyone, and she has grown up in the direction of a lady since she was a child, and she has a set of strict etiquette when eating.

But now I can't care so much, put the small mouth on the side of the bowl, and the chopsticks dial a pinch of powder, without too much force, the sweet potato powder will naturally slide into the mouth.

The spicy taste, especially the sourness, dances in the mouth along with the slippery vermicelli, and the whole mouth is no longer controlled, and it becomes a captive.

Chu Youlan closed her eyes and enjoyed her face: "It's delicious, I want to work for Brother Qin for the rest of my life, even if I don't pay my salary, just take care of the food." ”

Qin Fei smiled, this stupid girl.

Immediately, he himself also prepared a bowl of hot and sour noodles, which was spicy and sour, sour and fragrant, and a bowl of hot and sour noodles, which can be said to have exhausted all kinds of life.

As for the soybeans and peanuts on top of the hot and sour noodles, they are crispy and fragrant, forming a completely different taste from the slippery noodles, but the two do not conflict, but complement each other.

A bowl of hot and sour noodles was quickly cleaned up, and even half a bowl of soup was drunk, and all the exhaustion and loss were satisfied.

Chu Youlan touched her round belly and looked at the man opposite, could this be the so-called belly being made big by a man?

I couldn't help but blush.
