Chapter 603: Preparation for the Opening Ceremony
After a few days of qualifying, Huo Chi realized that the expedition was an amateur armed force that was not taken seriously by any country.
This expedition team composed of personnel from various countries did have a good time at the beginning of its establishment, but with the passage of time, the capital investment of various countries in the expedition has decreased sharply, and the elite of the expedition has been lost, and this team has become more and more unprofessional.
The amount of information about the monsters brought back by the increasingly unprofessional expedition team has decreased year by year, but the number of deaths has increased year by year, and the expedition fund has remained unchanged for decades, and the expedition team has become a slightly stronger team than the mercenaries.
Moreover, the entire united expedition team was further divided due to the nationality of the expedition members, and the main military force that was originally used to attack monsters and explore the demon realm has now become like this, which may have been completely unexpectedly expected by the mysterious person who created the expedition, right?
Now, as an independent force participating in the military skills competition, the expedition team has received even fewer qualifications than the previous one, so the competition has become extremely fierce.
In the qualifying tournament in the past few days, Huo Chi saw that many people were using their brains, some people were taking drugs to improve their physical fitness or concentration, some people tried to buy off the referees, and some people tried to make trouble for other opponents.
All of this is due to the fact that the current expedition team members are very embarrassed, and it is no wonder that Mary wanted to use such a bad trick to stop Su Qingqing from participating in the competition in order to win the competition.
Huo Chi shook his head, the week-long official competition will start this afternoon, I hope that those expedition members can be more restrained by then, the reputation of the expedition team is not very good, and it will be even more despicable to cheat in the competition.
Huo Chi thought as he took out some tomatoes. These tomatoes were bought from the stall of the Magic Club last night, and I also saw Lin Erha and Lin Xue'er last night.
The two of them crossed the ocean safe and sound, and came to the subcontinent. When Huo Chi saw the two of them, he suddenly felt like he had met an old acquaintance in a foreign land.
Lin Erha is obviously the same, these precious tomatoes are all brought by him from the main continent, and the price can be imagined, but Lin Erha only symbolically asked for a little money, and Huo Chi was a little embarrassed.
In order to live up to Lin Erha's kindness, let's do them all. Xiao Jian wanted to make more meals for himself to bring to the venue, so he would simply use tomatoes.
There was still a lot of hoof beast meat left, and since he wanted to make some extra meals, Huo Chi decided to make a warm and nutritious dish.
Put water in the pot and boil, clean the hoof meat, cut it into pieces and put it in the pot, boil the water and remove it, rinse it and set aside.
Slice the ginger, tomatoes and onion and set aside.
Because the time was a little tight today, Huo Chi decided to use a quick production method, he took out the pressure cooker given by the system, and poured all the hoof beast meat into the pressure cooker.
Then add dark soy sauce, ginger slices, cooking wine, salt and sugar, add boiling water to cover the hoof meat, cover the pot, turn on high heat and simmer at high pressure.
Using this time, Huo Chi made the other tomatoes together into ketchup and saved them, and the rest of the time he baked some golden and crispy finger cakes and set them aside.
After about half an hour, the pressure cooker was deflated, and the hoof beast meat was soft, so he turned off the fire and deflated, opened the lid after reducing the pressure, poured in the tomatoes and onion pieces, and continued to simmer on high heat without covering the lid for a quarter of an hour, and a steaming otherworldly Glenn special edition of tomato stewed hoof beast meat was completed.
Huo Chi put the stewed hoof meat with tomatoes into the lunch box, and then beckoned everyone to breakfast.
By the time everyone had eaten breakfast and was ready to go out, it was just dawn. Everyone got on the round ice 008, and Huo Chi found that the expedition team members in the expedition camp today got up quite early, some of these people wanted to watch the opening ceremony, and some had a game today.
Qin Lang and Su Qingqing both have group stages this afternoon, so they both seem a little nervous now, and Huo Chi's game is tomorrow, which means that he can watch the game with peace of mind today.
The gymnasium is not very far from the adventure camp, but there is a long queue at the entrance to the stadium. Today's security measures are stricter, and everyone is carefully checking their salutes.
Huo Chi and the others passed through the athletes' checkpoints, although the inspection was as strict, but there were fewer people after all.
When it was Huo Chi's turn, they only waited in line for more than ten minutes. The crowd had already opened their backpacks and placed them in front of the guards, who were checking them very carefully.
The main items to be inspected are liquids and weapons, and if a suspicious item is found, such as an unknown liquid, the guards will let the bearer take a sip to inspect it. Some people who brought dry food were also asked to take a bite.
Huo Chi saw it in his eyes and knew that he would have to eat stewed hoof beast meat with tomatoes in advance in a while.
The gymnasium also did not allow non-competition personnel to carry weapons, so only Qin Lang and Su Qingqing of the Snow Leopard team brought registered competition guns today.
Qin Lang brought three pistols to be on the safe side, while Su Qingqing brought both sniper rifles. Huo Chi participated in the competition of the assault rifle group, but the competition was tomorrow, so naturally he couldn't bring the gun in.
However, when the guard checked Huo Chi's backpack, the guard pointed to Huo Chi's five lunch boxes and asked, "What are these inside?" ”
"It's food. "Lunch boxes have to be checked, these guys are really strict. Huo Chi had no choice but to open the lunch box.
As a result, as soon as the lunch box was opened, the inspection hall was immediately filled with the smell of stewed hoof meat with tomatoes, a smell that most people had never smelled, and many people looked at each other, not knowing what the smell was coming from.
The guard in charge of the inspection looked at the stew in Huo Chi's lunch box that was attractively colored and constantly emitted a fresh smell, and finally couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"What are you in here, is it a suspicious object?" the soldier asked.
Huo Chi watched the soldier trying to suppress his saliva, and couldn't help but smile: "Tomato stew, it's just ordinary food, it's not suspicious at all. ”
"How can you not be suspicious? How can all the meat be transparent?" the soldier couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, transparent because they're tendons, they're all transparent. Huo Chi didn't plan to tell him that it was monster meat, so as not to make a fuss about these people.
"Okay! I'm going to take a closer look and give me a piece for me to taste!" said the soldier.
Huo Chi was stunned when he heard this, shouldn't I have come to take a bite to mean that this thing is harmless?
