Chapter 10 People's livelihood is difficult
After staying in the hotel for one night, looking at the breakfast menu with only black bread and vegetable soup, Chen Jian left the town of Duovinoa without any regret.
On the way back, Jiang Jinjiu hit a low-level Warcraft double-headed snake chicken, the tail of this chicken is a snake head, which is equivalent to two heads, and the snake head will also release petrified rays, if it weren't for its short range of petrified rays and long intervals, it would be really difficult to deal with.
Chen Jian washed and peeled the internal organs of the double-headed snake chicken, added mushrooms to the chicken's belly, smeared cooking wine and salt, squeezed some slightly sour juice of wild fruits, and then did not pluck the feathers, wrapped the outside of the chicken with water and a ball of mud, dug a soil pit, padd stones, piled up withered branches, and waited for the withered branches to be burned into charcoal, wrapped in the chicken's mud and put it on, and then added withered branches, covered with large leaves, and finally covered with a mound of soil.
When Chen Jian asked Valen to cover the leaves with soil, Valen was stupid, and he was busy for a long time just to bury the chickens?
Chen Jian smiled without saying a word, and then cut the part of the head of the cocktail snake into pieces to make snake soup. After the snake soup soup is finished, let Valen dig the mud out of the ground again, gently tap it, peel off the dry mud, the chicken feathers fall with the mud, the chicken meat is white and tender, the fragrance is fragrant, and the fragrance alone makes people salivate.
"I thought that the flower chicken was just roasted on the fire."
"It's okay to roast on the fire, but this monster chicken is really not small, so with this method of heating buried in the ground, the heating is more uniform and the heating is more thorough."
As a low-level magical beast, the size of the double-headed snake chicken is closer to the turkey on the earth, and a chicken weighs more than ten catties, and the three of them can't eat it in one meal, so they pack it and go on the road.
On the way, from time to time, Valen also took out another piece of chicken and stuffed it in his mouth.
"Valen, you're going to eat big fat like this." Chen Jian quipped with a smile.
Valen sucked his finger and said, "No, Lord Roy, only nobles are fat, and we poor families have never seen fat people." Don't you know that in previous years, after the beginning of winter, each family only ate one meal a day, and in order not to get hungry too quickly, the family lay in bed and did not move. When I was a kid, I would stuff dried wild fruits in the snow, imagine myself eating bread, and then swallow the snowballs in a big gulp. When you bite into the dried wild fruit, the sweet and sour taste is as if you are really eating food, and you are not hungry. ”
Seeing that Chen Jian suddenly fell silent, Valen said with a smile: "Our village is not bad, in the past few years, the nobles have not come to collect taxes, nor have they come to pull the strong ding, we have enough young and strong labor to farm, so that we can have a banquet to celebrate, this year's blessing of Lord Torroy, we have bought so many things in the town, and we can have a good winter." ”
Chen Blade's silence was because he didn't expect that the reason why food in this world had not developed various cooking methods was because it had not even fully eaten enough. And how can you think about how to make it more delicious?
"What about the other villages?" Chen Jian asked.
Valen sighed, "The orcs come to attack the Grey Keep fortress every autumn, so after the autumn harvest, the lords from all over the world will start to recruit troops to send to the Grey Keep to fight, if it weren't for that magician, I might have died on the walls of the Grey Keep like my father." ”
Chen Jian's mood was a little heavy along the way, although there were many hungry African refugees on the earth, but it was too far away from a twenty-year-old restaurant chef, and now, when he was in the middle of a group of people with heavy survival pressure, he saw a living person living hard in suffering, and what he thought about every day was what to eat today, but the difference was that they didn't know what to eat because they had too many choices, they really didn't know what to eat, and eating a full meal was their only appeal.
But even as they managed to get enough food, the shadow of war hung over them, and they didn't know that one day they would die in the war far from home.
When they returned to the village, the whole village came out to greet them with thunderous joy, and Chen Jian and they brought back two truckloads of salt, sugar, clothes, pots and pans and other daily necessities. Half of the money in exchange for gold nuggets and gems was spent.
Old Morgan tearfully touched the new bedding and new clothes that he moved from the car, "There should be no one freezing to death in the village this year." ”
"Don't cry, old village chief, it's all a happy thing, life will get better and better, as long as I am here, I won't let you go hungry and freeze." Chen Jian comforted old Morgan.
"Thank you, Lord Roy, and thank you, Lady Wandering. Come, I'll show you the church that's being built. ”
The villagers of Yir Village have a very simple concept, whoever is good to us, we must repay the kindness of the other party. Therefore, the young men who were busy with the autumn harvest set up a vacant lot in the east of the village to build a small church for Chen Jian to worship the gods.
The drawings were drawn by Jiang Jinjiu, who had built his own bar and could draw some simple construction drawings, and according to Chen Jian's idea, he wanted to make the chapel of the church larger so that the whole village could gather.
So this church though simple, had six rooms, the largest being a chapel, then a kitchen, a storehouse, two bedrooms, and a bathhouse.
In two days, only the foundation was completed and the ground was leveled, but there was not much else in the village, and there were enough stones to build the house, because the magician must have stones in the list of purchases every time, so in order to meet the requirements of the magician as much as possible, the villagers collected and polished all kinds of stones all year round, but in the past two years, the magician's demand for stones has become less and less, and the village has not been able to use up these stones except for repairing the house by himself. Now it is being used to build a church for Chen Jian.
The next few days were very leisurely, teaching women how to cook on the one hand, and teaching children how to catch crabs and crayfish, how to identify which mushrooms, wild vegetables are edible.
From time to time, when he went to check on the progress of the men's construction of the house, he really wanted to help, but the villagers might not agree. On the contrary, Jiang Jinjiu drank with the villagers and worked together, and they were already called brothers and sisters, and they became one.
The church is not yet finished, but Jona has already arrived at the village of Il with a few people, ready to go into the Misty Forest to hunt for treasure.
Chen Jian took the opportunity to sell her the juice he had made with the "Gourmet Buff" with a primary healing effect.
Jona looked at the bottle of fuchsia liquid with suspicion, "I've seen golden healing holy water, I've seen silver healing holy water, and even red healing potion, but never fuchsia, you shouldn't be a cultist who believes in evil gods." ”
"Nonsense, I'm a priest of a genuine wandering order, a level 5 priest, a level 5 priest. This is my exclusive formula of holy water, the therapeutic effect is very good, if you don't believe it, this bottle is free for you to try. ”
Hearing that it was free, Jona snatched the bottle of holy water, but she was still a little uneasy, "Xius, you can try it." ”
A tall warrior beside Jona, who was carrying a large sword and an axe, nodded, took Jona's dagger and slashed lightly at his arm. Then turn on the holy water and sprinkle it.
"It's drinking, drinking." Chen Jian hurriedly shouted.
The warrior hesitated, but still drank half a bottle, and was stunned when he finished drinking.
"What's wrong? Does this holy water still have the effect of fixation? "Jona kicked the warrior.
"It's delicious." The warrior woke up from a dream, looked at the bottle and said.
"Delicious? You guy with muscles in your brain, do you know what makes it good? There are dozens of holy water and healing potions that I have drunk since I was a child, and the taste is already good if it doesn't make people vomit. Can it still be delicious? ”
The warrior looked at Jona and repeated seriously: "It's delicious." ”
Jona didn't believe in evil, grabbed the bottle, and didn't dislike being drunk, so she took a sip, "The goddess of wealth is on top, it's really delicious." ”
In this world of gods and gods, after the title of the goddess, one after another foul language, it seems that it is not unreasonable for the thief sister to be so poor and destitute.
"Why do you make the healing holy water so delicious, I want to get hurt right away." Qiao Na suddenly said angrily to Chen Jian.
Whether it tasted good or not, the wound on Xiusi's arm did heal immediately. It has been proven to have a therapeutic effect. The price of 1 silver coin and 1 bottle is also low compared to similar healing potions on the market. But in fact, the main ingredient is just purple berries from the woods and orange juice brought from the earth.
The purpose of adding orange juice is to increase the sweetness, but because the "Buff of Food" consumes the energy of "Faith in Food", Chen Jian did not do much, but just used the energy of the "Faith in Food" generated by the villagers to take it from the people and use it for the people.
