Chapter 293: Reps' Past

Huo Chi probably imagined the cornmeal porridge that Su Qingqing drank, it is estimated that the chef here has not mastered the method, and the cornmeal and porridge soup are separated from the top and bottom after the porridge is ready, so the taste will not be very good, right?

He took a bite of the sticky cake in his hand, the cornmeal itself was very delicate and mixed with fresh flour, with a little sugar and cheese slime juice, the cornmeal sticker had a sweet and soft texture, no wonder Su Qingqing liked it very much.

The best thing is that the compressed biscuits that Huo Chi put in on a whim make people occasionally eat some slightly crispy texture, which adds a little fun.

"It's so delicious, poor Xiao Jian, I'm probably eating compressed biscuits alone now, haha. Fu Ze was eating and thinking of Xiao Jian who was crossing the border alone, and couldn't help laughing.

"He's the gluttonous of all, and he's definitely wailing now. Qin Lang agreed.

"The expedition camp over there in Reps is said to have more money and a cheap dinner, maybe he's eating? Su Qingqing also smiled.

Hearing this, Huo Chi asked with a little curiosity, "Why is the camp in Reps well-funded? ”

"Because Reps is famous for its fine craftsmanship, there are many skilled craftsmen there, and most of the precision instruments and equipment need to be imported from them, and the more advanced the guns we use, the more parts cannot be separated from them. ”

Qin Lang continued: "The parts imported from Reps every year by countries around the world have made them rich, but in recent years, their export volume has begun to decline, mainly because the round ice side has begun to produce cheap parts. ”

"yes, so the Reps economy is slowly declining right now, and their president is looking for new economic growth points, but he hasn't found them. Su Qingqing agreed with Qin Lang's analysis.

"Speaking of which, I remember that Reps also had a nickname, called the country of chocolate. Su Qingqing said: "If they can restore the chocolate industry, maybe the economy will be able to revive again." ”

"But now the Reps don't produce chocolate at all, and no one knows how chocolate is made, and the vast majority of people in the world don't know what chocolate is, except for some ancient chocolates that still exist in the Reps. Fu Ze said.

"When my father and I used to visit the Reps, their president gave me a small piece of chocolate at a state dinner, and I never forgot the taste. The princess said.

"How's it going? Is it delicious? Is it dark chocolate or milk chocolate?" Huo Chi became a little curious.

"I don't know what kind of chocolate it is, but I just remember that it tasted super unpalatable, out of courtesy, I forced myself to swallow it without spitting it out, I don't understand, chocolate is so unpalatable, why did people love it before?" the princess said something that shocked Huo Chi.

"Chocolate is unpalatable?" Huo Chi really didn't understand, how could chocolate be unpalatable? Could it be fake chocolate?

"Yes, it's hard to eat, mainly hard and dry, and there is a musty smell, and it's also very bitter. The princess frowned slightly, obviously remembering how unpalatable the chocolate was, and she quickly took a bite of the sticky cake, and then she felt comfortable.

I see, it seems that the ancient chocolate of Reps has become moldy and spoiled, of course, it is not delicious, and if the chocolate is not stored well, it will cause water loss, sugar analysis and even mildew, and the ancient chocolate of Reps is estimated to account for all these problems.

"Don't they produce any chocolate now?" asked Huo Chi.

"No, we don't know what the ingredients are, how can we produce them?" but I've heard that their business secretary tried to make chocolate artificially, but it didn't work out yet. The princess said.

Do you want to use cocoa butter substitutes? How can it be compared with real chocolate, and it is not healthy, Huo Chi shook his head, there is no chocolate in this world, and it is really a pity that this magical dessert that represents sweet love and desire is missing.

"Isn't there any country that produces cocoa beans?" Huo Chi was a little unwilling.

"What are cocoa beans?" asked the princess.

"Uh... It's the raw material of chocolate. Huo Chi knew that asking was equivalent to asking in vain, and they didn't know.

"Maybe there used to be, but the human habitation area is almost half less than a few decades ago, maybe that cocoa bean is in the area occupied by monsters, right?" Su Qingqing guessed.

Huo Chi's understanding of this world has taken it a step further, it is a world where there are no cocoa beans and no chocolate!

After dinner, everyone washed up a little, got into the sleeping bag and prepared to rest, Fu Ze and Qin Lang were on duty in the first half of the night and the second half of the night respectively, and the others fell asleep with peace of mind.

"Qin Lang, it's your place. Fu Ze patted Qin Lang, who was already asleep, and the war doctor woke up suddenly, he nodded and got up, and sat down by the window with an assault rifle.

Fu Ze soon fell asleep, Qin Lang yawned, took out a little plantation guard tea and made a cup. Huo Chi said that this can refresh his mind, so he often makes a cup when he is on duty at night, and I don't know if it is a psychological effect, this thing seems to be really refreshing.

After drinking the warm tea of the plantation guard, Qin Lang's sleepiness gradually disappeared, and he looked vigilantly at the almost pitch-black mountain forest outside the house, thinking about what had happened in the past few days.

Suddenly, he heard some kind of subtle sound, Qin Lang hurriedly pointed the gun at the source of the sound, and then, he relaxed, the sound was not caused by monsters, but a few snow-white goats walking in the mountains.

It was a big ram with a couple of ewes, and they were followed by two cute lambs.

These sheep may rarely see humans, and the ram just glanced at Qin Lang behind the window and left with his family.

Qin Lang looked at the ewes who were still in the cub raising stage, and finally put down the gun, their meat reserves were very sufficient, so let's let go of these creatures that have become rare.

The night in the mountains was very thick, and Qin Lang didn't see the goats of that family anymore until dawn.

The snow leopards and the princess ate the stewed breakfast made by Huo Chi, and continued to climb the mountain in high spirits.

As they climbed the snow line, the temperature plummeted, and everyone felt cold, and in order to resist the cold, everyone wrapped the flame lizard skins that they had prepared long ago.

The flame lizard skin was already a barrier to the wind, and coupled with its ability to provide continuous and steady heat, not only did everyone not feel cold, but they also sweated a little.

"It's a beautiful place. Su Qingqing stood on top of the snow, looking at the whiteness of his eyes, almost forgetting all his troubles.

"yes, it's beautiful. Princess Afifa was equally amazed, and even though she had been here several times, she was still fascinated by the majestic mountains of the Sub-North Beru Mountains.
