193. Hell!
In order to cope with every possible field environment, their various portable pots generally have one function: high pressure. So it doesn't take much time to stew the rice cake, and it will be ready soon.
When the lid is sealed under high pressure, you can't smell it, and when you deflat, you haven't opened the lid yet, and the two hazy eyes of the two dogs immediately become bright, and the smell is too attractive!
The spicy flavor is mixed with the sweetness of the seafood, and the salt is put in just the right amount to bring out the flavor of the tide.
The soup in the pot has been collected and is almost invisible, and it is the time when it is about to dry. If Hao Dong's heat is almost grasped, it will be completely finished if it sticks to the bottom of the pot when it is overcooked.
Moreover, if it is overcooked, in case of a complete boiling situation, there will be a danger of burning until the pot bursts, which is even worse.
Fortunately, Hao Dong is an experienced chef, and this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen.
The rice cake is very soft and glutinous after being boiled thoroughly, but because of the good quality of the beating, it is not too sticky to the teeth, but very chewy. Wrapped in a thick soup soaked in the taste of meat pieces, every bite is so fresh that people subconsciously squint their eyes and show an expression of enjoyment.
The taste of the meat is even more wonderful.
The outer layer of sweet potato powder is fried very thoroughly, even if it is cooked under high pressure for so long, it does not affect the taste too much, and it is still crispy and fluffy in the mouth.
The inside of the meat is especially rich because of this layer of shell on the outside. When you bite into it, you will have a mouth full of soup, mixed with smooth and tender fleshy fibers, not to mention how beautiful the fragrance is.
In addition, the chili pepper used is strong enough, and the meat itself has been kneaded enough ginger powder by Hao Dong, and the taste is chewed thoroughly before swallowing it in one bite, and the hot and spicy feeling rolls all the way from the tip of the tongue to the stomach, and the whole body suddenly feels comfortable.
Although it is already summer, the temperature on the plateau itself is low; Second, the place where they are is is very deep from the ground, and there is a huge water source on the side, so the environment here is actually very damp.
This environment will not only make people feel uncomfortable on the skin, but also in the body, such as soreness in the bones, dull pain in the stomach, and sometimes even discomfort in the lungs.
And chili peppers are very blood-invigorating, and they can also effectively ward off cold. This spicy stew in the soup is definitely one of the most popular flavors in this environment.
The ingredients themselves taste good, and the cooking is completely tickling everyone's itch, and this breakfast can be regarded as enjoyable. Ergou even began to think about it, thinking that he could properly pack a little bit of this giant sea centipede meat on the road.
Zhao Zheng habitually poked him in the sore spot: "The rice cakes have all been eaten, and the fuel of the alcohol stove is not unlimited, how many times do you plan to stew it?" ”
This time, even the queen, who basically didn't participate in their fight, couldn't help it: "There should be more monsters in there, are you afraid that you won't have enough to eat?" ”
Zhao Zheng's words have learned to turn a deaf ear, but the queen's statement made him a little moved: "It would be beautiful if they were all like this!" ”
In the past, they did not eat less ingredients from the wild, and although the taste was quite good, much better than the feed sold in the city, there were really few that could compare with this giant sea centipede.
Ergou couldn't help but start reverie:
"Actually, I really want to say that the texture of this monster meat is basically different from the texture of ordinary sea centipede, but it is much more delicious...... Hey, do you think it's possible that there is a branch of genetic modification research for these people that is to study the improvement of edible meat? ”
Ergou's words attracted the attention of the whole team, and Zhao Zheng even felt that he couldn't help but want to complain about Ergou, which was simply too easy to understand, this guy just owed a lot!
"Do you think the guy who researches genetically modified killing machines will be concerned about the quality of life of the human population?"
The guy who owes enough is so thick-skinned that he doesn't feel that you are sarcastic at all, so Ergou took over the conversation as a matter of course: "Maybe it was discovered by accident?" Mad scientists are human beings, too, and maybe there are foodies among them. ”
This Qi Jue was the most calm, completely ignoring what the second dog was talking about, carefully helped Hao Dong put things away, then weighed the weight, and moved the lunch box and chopsticks from Hao Dong's bag to his bag, and changed his first aid kit to Hao Dong:
"I'm not afraid of getting hurt, you take this."
If it weren't for the fear that everyone would get separated in case of an accident on the way, Qi Jue would still want to carry Hao Dong's backpack over.
Hao Dong was a little embarrassed to be taken care of, and his face was red: "I can carry it." ”
Qi Jue looked at him, didn't speak for a long time, and at the end he just gave a soft "um" and rubbed his head again. Hao Dong was a little depressed, when would Xiao Qi Ye get rid of the habit of rubbing his head!
There is no doubt that the team will still go inside today, Hao Dong still had a feeling that he could recall something yesterday, but when he woke up, this feeling completely dissipated to the horizon, so everyone could only cross the river by touching the stones.
There were lights in the passage, but there was no electricity and it was not turned on completely, and everyone was trying to find out if they could pass through one or two distribution rooms.
Unfortunately, the place they entered seemed to be a pure passage, although it was not straight, but there was no fork in the road, it was so dark, as if it were going to lead to the depths of the earth.
Hao Dong didn't know if it was leading to the center of the earth, but he knew that according to Zhao Zheng's calculations, the direction they were going in now basically coincided with the original plan.
"Sure enough, there's something wrong here, right?" Qi Jue took the lead in the front, and after Zhao Zheng broke off, Ergou escorted the queen and Hao Dong in the middle, while still expressing their opinions.
The darkness made people feel oppressive, and Hao Dong couldn't hold back his desire to speak, so he immediately answered: "There are definitely not so many people who will toss so much in the depths of the grassland underground, and it is completely possible that these things are all the work of the Ru family." ”
As soon as the second dog opened his mouth, Qi Jue suddenly stopped in front of him, and his ears seemed to be listening to something.
Ergou's nonsense turned into a question when it came to his mouth, and he lowered his voice: "Little Qi Ye? ”
Qi Jue listened for a while, but just shook his head, as if he had been misled by something before, a little puzzled, but still said two words: "It's okay." ”
He felt as if he heard footsteps from a group that didn't belong to him, but when he listened closely, there was nothing. This passage is too long, it looks very empty, and there are metal structures on the four walls, maybe it is an echo?
It was a full day, and the road was very quiet, and there were no monsters encountered. It's just that Zhao Zheng measured and calculated all the way, and when he rested in place at night, he came up with a very bad result:
"The road here seems to be going around in circles."
The speed of their team is not slow, and it will take hundreds of kilometers to walk at least this day, but there will always be a bend on the road that is not very angled after a while.
Zhao Zheng recorded all these corners, and the graphics drawn at the end of the day clearly showed that they were basically still spinning in place.
And although the passage is straight ahead, the road actually slopes a little bit at every corner, up or down.
Therefore, in the process of twisting and turning, although the passages themselves do not intersect with each other, they actually form an overpass-like intersection, forming a simply endless road in a small space.
"It's a trap, and if we don't know where to stop, I think we're going to end up with a wall. Or worse, unconsciously turning back to the way he came. ”
It is not impossible, if the way out still leads to the same river where they came, then their choice is to go back the way they came, and to go all over again.
That's why there are no monsters in this passage, and this is originally a road that traps people.
"But the good thing is," Zhao Zheng poked at the blueprint, "it's rare for someone to spend so much effort to build such a place, but it's just used to trap people, which is too costly." I'd rather there should be a fork in the road, but we didn't find it. ”
The second dog puffed out in his nostrils: "Huh, this kind of thing can be seen by people, what is rare?" ”
When he encountered a serious matter, Zhao Zheng also lost the strength to choke with the second dog, and turned his head to ask the queen and Qi Jue:
"What do you two think? My personal suggestion, let's take a break tonight, tomorrow we don't have to go forward, according to my circuit map, let's find out if there is a passage at the intersection. ”
If there are indeed interconnected openings at the intersection, then there is a possibility of a way out up and down the road.
After all, the people who built the road themselves can't never come in, and they probably don't want to be like they are trapped and need to go around here desperately.
Zhao Zheng's proposal was reasonable, and everyone had no objections, so they settled in place first.
Ergou was happy at this time, and took out the giant sea centipede meat that he had hidden for a day: "Spray incense, it's not bad at all, let's fry another little mouse?" ”
The meatballs wrapped in sweet potato flour in the morning rice cake were too much for Ergou's appetite, so he very much hoped to eat them again.
Hao Dong calculated the amount of oil in stock and shook his head: "At most, make a few meatloaf, croquettes are too oil-intensive, and you can't make anything else, it's a waste." ”
In the morning, the oil pot was finally boiled with the rice cakes, and it entered everyone's stomach with the soup, which was not a waste. If you fry it again at this time, you won't have anything to do with it, what will you do with the used oil?
The second dog is good if he eats, and naturally there is no objection to this. Just one point, he stared at Hao Dong's movements the whole time, and his gluttony was simply a shame on his face.
Hao Dong still put chili peppers in the meatloaf, which is spicy, refreshing and crunchy, and there is still a bag of soup inside, which is very delicious.
With the remaining little bit of base oil, Hao Dong simply fried some rice, and each person packed a small bag and carried it with him, which was a very full snack.
It's not too early to finish these times, and after walking in the passage for a day, you can basically confirm that there is nothing, and the relative state of the person is more relaxed, and as soon as you rest, you almost fall asleep immediately.
Of course, there are still night shifts, but in the second half of the night, it was the turn of the second dog, and this guy was a little derelict in his duties, and he began to fall asleep in the dim light.
When Hao Dong woke up, he found that Ergou was pecking rice, and he was not tired at all, and he didn't wake up. He didn't care about him, Gu Zi took a plastic bag, and walked out two steps into the depths of the passage to solve his personal problems.
Then he noticed that he seemed to see a shadow that flew out of the corner of his eye.
Hao Dong came out in a cold sweat, and it was impossible to pee at the moment, so he immediately turned his head to look.
Behind him was still the camp that had not changed at all, and the hand lamps that had been turned to the lowest level of light were placed in the middle of the ground, and the light was dim.
The dim light cast their figures onto the walls on all sides, each dragging a huge black shadow behind them, shaking with the occasional movement.
Hao Dong stared at it for a while, and suddenly the shadow of the second dog moved, and another black shadow quickly separated from there, and in a flash, it melted into the darkness that the light next to him could not find.
If it was before, the speed of this shadow was so fast, Hao Dong would never be able to see it. And now he almost hated his good eyesight, because he not only saw, but saw quite clearly.
This made him so nervous that he couldn't even make a sound, because he only saw the shadows, but not the people!
