Chapter 47: Food
"That's how this thing should be eaten. Duck licked his lips with a pleasant face, and put down the spoon in satisfaction, "It tastes good, I am a little envious of the life of the soldiers in this world." ”
Yes, you can use the bathroom at will, a variety of entertainment facilities, sufficient living materials, and food that is not unpalatable at all, you can still live such a life on the battlefield, but it is much stronger than the soldiers of Pavatiga, even if these strong people, once they leave the safe city, the quality of life is often no different from the distant barbarian era, it is the norm to not be able to take a bath for more than ten days, and it is an inevitable experience to drink blood.
It's hard to tell the difference between day and night in the otherworldly projection, but according to Pavatiga's time, it's dinner time now, and like the previous two times, in the dining room, the mechanical golems have already served dinner according to the number of people.
Through a day's observation, everyone discovered the eating pattern of the base, where there are only two meals a day. Breakfast is normal, just a boxy lumpy, moderately soft and hard, a bit like cheese, with a bit of saltiness, and dinner is of course a plate of thick paste, two solid sticks, and a large glass of water. It must be admitted that the amount of food in the two meals is not large, and theoretically speaking, even an ordinary Pavatiga may not be able to eat enough, let alone a warlord who consumes a lot.
However, in fact, when this little thing is eaten in the stomach, there is a strong feeling of satiety, and you don't feel hungry without eating or drinking for more than ten hours, and at the same time, food can also provide a lot of energy for the body, even the high-level fighters who consume the most can be satisfied. No one knows what the principle is, it can only be attributed to the special technology of another world, Shul has also thought that this kind of food may set off a subversive storm in the lives of mercenaries, if the production principle and process can be brought back to Pavatiga, then there is no need to do anything in the future, and the income from turning off the light every day can occupy all the free time.
For this reason, before eating, he deliberately ran back to the control room, talked with Wei Mi mysteriously for a while, and then walked back with a gloomy face, and even a substantial cloud could be seen around him, as if someone had stolen a few small silver coins from him. It seems that the feeling of disappointed hope is very good, and it is really gratifying.
After yesterday's lesson, everyone learned from Xiuer's appearance, soaked two solid sticks into the thick paste, and then was surprised to find that the solid sticks that should have been stuck to the surface of the thick paste in the imagination were actually like salt grains sprinkled into the water, and melted in the thick paste in a blink of an eye, and the solid rods disappeared without a trace, and the thick paste was also diluted a lot, and the thick paste that was almost semi-solid like a plate of thick snot has not only increased in quantity, but also has become like a bowl of thick soup, and also exudes bursts of aroma, subtly stimulating everyone's hunger.
Wonderful changes, but can you really eat them? Now it is up to the intrepid brave to experiment with it for themselves.
The valiant knight was certainly the best choice for the brave, and Duck pinched his nose with his eyes closed, and with the belief that he would die, he sent the diluted paste that he almost vomited last night into his mouth.
Then, another fight between him and Shuer, no, another entertaining interaction began.
I didn't tell everyone how to eat it, and I saw everyone being tortured and snickering, and I had to pretend to be innocent, this kind of bastard should be beaten to death, but it was such a normal food, and it was actually made into such an unpalatable form, where can't the humans in this world think about it?
Indeed, after the two are mixed, the food becomes much more normal, and it tastes like enjoying a bowl of fragrant soup, everyone's taste is different, like Dark's bowl, which is creamy and seafood-flavored, and Mia's is tomato stew-flavored, presumably because the soldiers are worried that they will get bored of eating one food for a long time, so they match different flavors.
Of course, an ordinary bowl of soup is not very delicious, but compared to the texture and taste of last night's gagging, it can be called a delicious dish. No, you can't think like that, and the more you think about it, the more you want to beat this bastard again.
"That's good, Commander, it's hard to develop a normal way to eat it for you, otherwise my wings will fall out of my feathers at the thought of eating that horrible thing every day for the next few days. "Fight to fight, everyone is actually very grateful to Shuer, well, it would have been better if it hadn't been for last night's prank. Therefore, Wingman Yuli elegantly put a spoonful of thick soup into his mouth, tasted the taste happily, and said after a while, "In order to show my gratitude, when I go out, I will also invite you to eat a good meal, just a light meal, very ordinary Wingman food." ”
"No, let this bastard have a treat, let's all go eat. Duck slapped the table and coaxed, "This is punishment for his prank." ”
In fact, everyone knows that this is a kind of mutual recognition and goodwill, in order to shorten the distance, itself means the possibility of cooperation again in the future. If you don't recognize the other party's ability, you don't plan to contact again in the future, and it is impossible to easily send an invitation to these high-level powerhouses, especially ordinary winged people who are not ordinary at first glance.
"Okay, okay, I admit it. Shul shook his fist at Duck with a sad and angry face, and reluctantly accepted the most terrible punishment. However, think of the intact insect corpse that Tomia brought back in the afternoon, well, since someone is willing to pay a lot of money for a good corpse, it is not a big deal to treat it once. How much can you eat for a light meal, order the best food at the best restaurant, eight people is at most twenty or thirty gold coins, although it is also heart-wrenching, but it is also necessary to have a luxury once in a while, "That's it, after I go out, I'll treat everyone to a light meal." ”
"It's rare that I didn't cry. Mia also put down the spoon, the strong contrast between the two foods soothed her cold expression a lot, "Actually, I don't understand, how do you know how to eat it?
"I came up with my brain. Shuer gently stirred the food on the plate, I don't know why, he barely ate today, "Even if it's another world, but in all aspects, the human soldiers here are not much different from us, and the taste should be relatively similar, so I think, they are also human, give them this kind of thing that will make people vomit every day, and they will mutin in a few days." Since there is no mutiny, and there is no change in the menu, it means that these things are not as unpalatable as imagined, but we just won't eat them. ”
"Do you put yourself in your shoes and then use the results to deduce the cause?" Mia shook her head, "This method is not rigorous, and if you rely on this method in your research, it is easy to cause ......"
"When is it time to treat everyday life in the way of academic theory?" Shul quipped, "and it is enough to know that you can eat it like this, and it is delicious." ”
"It's delicious, why don't you eat it today?" How could Militi watch someone being teased by a man and immediately change the subject, "Is there a problem?"
"No, it's just not hungry. With a dry laugh, Shul put down the spoon completely.
There is definitely a problem, and it is a big problem, after a few days of contact, the high-level fighters already know a little bit about Shuer, and this guy's performance is very wrong.
"What the hell is going on?" Several people who were still holding spoons stopped their movements at the same time, and even the ordinary people and ordinary mercenaries around them pricked up their ears, the problem of food is a big problem, how can you not pay attention. Seeing that Shul looked hesitant and didn't want to speak, everyone had the urge to pry his mouth open with a knife.
"I didn't want to say it, but now it's your own request, have you really not thought about it?" Shur hesitated for a long time, and finally reluctantly gave an explanation, "Where did all this food come from?"
"The fortress provides, they should have a production and processing system. ”
"Yes, but what about the processing materials? This place has been abandoned for several years, and when the army left, they took all the supplies with them, and now the materials and raw materials here are mined and collected by the fortress's automatic system, including the raw materials for the production of food. Shuer's voice became smaller and quieter, and more and more mysterious, "Food is not like other things, it can be mined and synthesized, the raw materials of food are special, have you ever thought about it, in this projection world where there are no animals and no plants can be seen, what else can be related to food, can be used as food raw materials?"
"When, when".
For a while, the restaurant was surprisingly quiet, and even the sound of breathing was clearly recognizable.
A few seconds later, there was a crisp thud as the spoon slid out of his hand and onto his plate. This seemed to be a signal, followed by a continuous sound of falling, and more than thirty people seemed to have been stupid, looking at Shuer with their mouths open, and they couldn't even hold the spoon.
Yes, why didn't I think in advance that in this world, what else can be used as a raw material for food?
Only bugs, of course.
The dense insects all over the mountains are simply an inexhaustible source of food, no wonder the base can provide enough food, according to Shuer, it is not enough to add more.
The more you don't want to think of something, the more vivid the picture in your mind becomes, which is simply the sorrow of intelligent beings, and now everyone thinks of almost the same thing in their minds.
The hideous appearance, the wriggling limbs, the uneven shell, the body covered with mucus, the green body fluids, the fishy smell, and the image of one insect after another floated in front of everyone's eyes.
"Vomit", the high-level mercenaries are okay, some ordinary people have already covered their mouths and are lying on the table, and they may vomit at any time, and the high-level mercenaries who are okay are not very good-looking, although it is not that they have not eaten insects in the wild, but the psychological gap is still a bit big.
"Looks like you've thought of it too. Shul suddenly scooped a large spoonful of the soup into his mouth, savored it, and after a while smiled and said, "That's right, the answer is...... Mining is a by-product, some kind of associated moss. ”
"Huh? What the hell is that?"
