"You're going to have to come in and eat later, anyway. The low and tactful voice of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is full of magnetism, as if the lily in the valley is swallowing a dark fragrance: "It's too hot outside, I'll wait here." ”

"Hey, I'm still so lazy. Ignoring the premise that the other party had to work hard to appear here, Pannis directly buttoned the lazy hat for the other party: "Then you can continue to cool in there, and I'll eat all the good things first." ”

"Well, remember to bring in the rest for me when you're done eating. The voice in the col said lazily: "By the way, don't add too many condiments to my share, I will add wild fruits to the seasoning." ”

"I can't forget your tastes. Pannis pouted, chose a piece of sand in direct sunlight, crouched down and opened his backpack, and took out a large piece of bacon wrapped in a tarpaulin.

In the hot desert, the preservation of food is a big problem, although travelers have developed incubators that can isolate the temperature, and after adding ice spars to them, they can maintain the low temperature environment in the box for a period of time, but the desert is too hot, even in the cold box, unless new spars are frequently replaced, fresh meat and vegetables will spoil in a day. Therefore, in the process of desert adventure, people can only choose smoked jerky and sun-dried vegetables, coupled with the lack of water, most cooking methods are not available, resulting in a very distressing meal. However, although the taste of the food is unpalatable, at least it ensures balanced nutrition.

No matter how experienced he was, he couldn't defy the laws of nature and couldn't keep food from spoiling quickly due to the heat, but the ancient techniques of the deep sand tribes that lived in seclusion in the deepest parts of the desert gave him the means to turn these unpalatable jerky into delicious food. There is nothing surprising about the technique, relying on the remains of the cactus that was brought back by Penische and his speed far beyond the average person.

Scraping off the spikes on the outside of the cactus, splitting it lengthwise in two, and placing the bacon and dried vegetables on the spread oilcloth, the simple preparation was easily done, and finally reached out to test the temperature of the sand, and after retracting his hand after being burned, Pannis pulled out his sharp dagger and began to cook. The cooking process is actually very simple, and the only requirement is to move quickly and steadily.

The dagger is as fast as lightning, first cut off a piece of cactus's rough skin and pick it up, and before the skin lands, a layer of green cactus tender meat has fallen on the skin, followed by the fleshy cactus slices, which is a thin piece of bacon, and then a piece of cactus tender meat is superimposed on top of the bacon, each of the four pieces of food is only the size of a palm, and each thin piece is like a piece of translucent paper. When the cactus's skin fell to the ground, three more layers of food had been attached to it, and by the time it landed, Pannis's other hand had placed a few pieces of dried vegetables in the middle of the food. The whole process is completed in a few seconds when the cactus skin is in the air, which shows that it is impossible to cook without a fast, stable and accurate technique.

As soon as the cactus's crust hits the ground, it snorts, and the hot sand quickly directs the heat into the food like a scorching iron plate. Although the skin is rough and hard, it is too thinly cut, so it quickly rolls inward at high temperatures, and the layers of food spread on the skin are also light and thin, and at the same time they are curled up by the heat, and soon a constricted cactus roll is formed centered on the dried vegetables. Due to the characteristics of the cactus skin to isolate water, because the water evaporated from the tender meat of the cactus at high temperature cannot be diffused outward, it can only transpire inward, and soon the dry bacon and dried vegetables are infiltrated to become soft and tender, and the fat in the bacon meat penetrates back into the tender meat of the cactus at the same time, so that the whole green cactus roll exudes a tangy meat aroma.

If you peel off the outermost cactus skin at this time, you can see the inner layer of steaming, shiny green meat rolls, a layer of plants, a layer of bacon, a layer of plants, a layer of vegetables, everything rolled together, the aroma of vegetables and meat aroma mixed, coupled with the unique desert atmosphere of cactus, for those travelers who can only be troubled by dried meat and vegetables and dry bread that can be used as a murder weapon, it is simply the greatest temptation, if possible, I am afraid that any traveler struggling in the desert is willing to pay the greatest price in exchange for a piece of such food。

One piece, two pieces, Pannis's movements continued, more than a dozen cactus meat rolls were completed in turn, and they were put into the container, until finally, the cactus skin brought back had all been used, Pannis stopped his movements, tilted his head and thought about it, and suddenly cut the remaining cactus tender meat into thick slices, wrapped the dry bread taken out of the bag, and threw it on the sand for a while, the cactus tender meat was dry and withered, but the bread wrapped inside became soft and fragrant.

Nodding in satisfaction, Pannis picked up the food, carried the water bottle containing the cactus juice, and walked slowly into the col.

The ground in the col is also covered with yellow sand and gravel, and there are no plants, but because the surrounding boulder mountains block the direct sunlight, it is much cooler than outside, and after enduring the extreme heat outside, hiding in this cool col is like going from hell to heaven.

Not only is there no high temperature, but there is no wind, and the desert outside, the perennial scorching wind, the hot wind is like the breath of a demon, unscrupulously burning the skin of living beings, taking away every drop of water in the intruder's body, in this environment, you don't even have time to sweat, because before the sweat seeps out of the pores, it has been evaporated by the hot air and dissipated in the dry world.

However, in the col, also due to the obstruction of the mountain rocks, the wind from the outside cannot blow in, and the moisture inside cannot be discharged, so the small col becomes cool and humid, like a life-saving island in the sea.

In the middle of the col, a female elf in a long green dress and green hair with a noble temperament like a narcissus quietly holds her chin and sits on a cleaned-up gravel. The female elf's body still exudes a faint fragrance of flowers even in the desert, and her clear emerald green pupils stare at the entrance of the col, and when she sees Pannis walking in, the elf lady blooms a smile that is enough to make a hundred flowers lose color, and says gently: "I guess you will go this way, I have been waiting for you here for a few hours, and you came later than I expected." ”

"You're here sooner than I thought. Pannis sighed and said, "Or rather, I don't think you should come here, my Majesty." (To be continued.) )
