Chapter 20: Pancakes
If heating metal solves the current problem of cooking, then the means of turning stones into explosives have greatly improved the team's combat ability.
Especially this ability, it still appears in Dong Junwei, who has always been the leader of the team.
Although they are all peers, Dong Junwei, who has served as the class president for three years in high school, has always had a high prestige in the class. Maybe talking about prestige at the age of sixteen or seventeen is a bit of a child's self-esteem, but the fact is that Dong Junwei is more mature than her peers in all aspects, never shows superiority because of her family background, and treats everyone in the class equally, whether it is study or life, she can take care of them one by one.
Chen Du even felt that she was simply treating the class as a workplace rehearsal.
In any case, Dong Junwei's character and ability are obvious to all.
But the crowd was not happy for a moment.
I saw Dong Junwei suddenly shake her body, and then slowly squatted down.
Tang Jing happened to be beside her, her eyes were quick, and she hurriedly went up to support her, so that she didn't fall.
"What's wrong?"
"Uncomfortable?"
The crowd came forward.
Chen Du thought of what happened to him, and quickly understood Dong Junwei's situation, and explained: "It should be caused by using the ability too often and overdrawing mental power, is it dizziness?" ”
Dong Junwei nodded, unable to speak.
"But the squad leader didn't do anything, just an iron mine and a stone."
"It hasn't been long since I woke up, so I must be relatively weak, and I should grow slowly in the future." Chen Wei explained.
Dong Junwei felt a little better at this time, and asked Chen Dui, "How long do you have to rest before your mental strength can fully recover?" ”
Chen Du said: "I'm not sure, but this thing should be the same as physical strength, a little more rest, a little more recovery, a little more sleep, should be almost completely recovered." ”
"I see."
Dong Junwei originally wanted to experiment with some other things, but the current situation made her dare not go beyond the slightest.
That feeling of dizziness was really uncomfortable.
After letting Dong Junwei rest, Chen Du returned his gaze to the iron that had been heated before, which was half of his weapon after all.
However, he stepped forward and tentatively touched the iron, and found that it still did not cool down in the slightest.
"Why don't you pop rice with it?" It was proposed.
"Or, I'll make an iron pot and put some water to cook rice?"
As soon as Chen Dui's words came out, everyone happily clapped their hands and agreed, although they usually don't have any special feelings for rice, but after eating cake for two days, everyone is already a little unbearable, as long as there is steaming rice, nothing can be eaten, and it can eat three bowls of it.
However, Tang Jing poured cold water at this time and said, "If you really want to cook the rice with water, maybe the water we brought will not add up enough." ”
"Why? It's just a grain of rice. ”
"This may be what you take for granted again, usually when cooking rice, a bowl of rice is almost two bowls of water, but a grain of rice, with twice the amount of water, must not be cooked, because this little water evaporates and dries up all of a sudden, and finally turns into popcorn."
Tang Jing spread his hands: "I said, many things can't be simply scaled equally. ”
This phenomenon is actually quite understandable.
Most people, however, still feel the world in terms of their current size, they still feel that wood thicker than their arms can be burned for a long time, and they still feel that a pot of water the size of their head can cook rice.
"What then?"
"We can't cook rice, but we can spread the bread."
"Spread the cake?"
"That's right, grind the rice grains into flour, add some water, and spread them on top of the hot iron to form a cake, although it is estimated that the taste will not be too good, but it is better than eating it raw."
Chen Du also took it for granted like everyone else at first, but after Tang Jing said this, he quickly understood.
"I'm going to get some stainless steel."
If you want to crush the rice grains, you need at least some tools.
It's best to make a few pounding pots, but fortunately, this kind of object that doesn't need to be very delicate is no longer difficult for Chen Du.
Half of his weapons were divided, and he had to make them back.
In fact, the original staple, because the nickel coating has long since fallen off, has been a faint precursor to rust, Chen Duan can change the object, but obviously can not prevent the iron from rusting, although the density of iron oxide is lower, but the sticky hands are also very uncomfortable.
It's time for a change of weapons.
Fortunately, there are stainless steel cutlery in the pantry, which is almost inexhaustible.
……
Pancake is a technical job.
Among high school students these days, there are very few who can cook, and many people's so-called cooking skills are limited to boiling water.
Among the people here, including Dong Junwei, they are all people who have never even held a spatula.
In this regard, Chen Duan, who has been independent since childhood, can completely say that everyone here is garbage.
Knock a small piece from the large rice grain and mash it into powder with a pot made by yourself.
I have to say that there is a big difference between rice flour and flour, after mixing water, there is no way to mix the noodles like wheat flour, but it will become a sticky lump, and rice flour is more difficult to operate than glutinous rice flour.
Eventually, everything was ready.
Fortunately, the temperature of the iron block is still very high, and there is no need to let Dong Junwei, who has already rested, make another move.
Considering that the iron was already a little rusty, Chen Duan made a thin layer of stainless steel plate and laid it on it.
However, when it comes to the pancakes, there are still a lot of problems.
The first is that there is no oil, and the rice milk quickly sticks to the stainless steel plate, and the surrounding circle quickly becomes charred black.
The second is that the temperature cannot be well controlled.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
By the time Chen Du uncovered the first miserable-looking "dough cake", everyone had no appetite.
"I'll try."
Wei Dalei, who has always had low requirements for food quality, was the first to come.
Regardless of the heat, he put his hand to his mouth and took two bites.
"It's okay, it's quite fragrant, it's just a little dry, a little burnt, a little light, a little rough, a little prickly." Wei Dalei wiped his mouth and continued to gnaw.
Is this called okay!?
The crowd was speechless.
But you can't help it if you don't eat it.
Anyway, it's the only food nowadays.
Fortunately, Chen Dui's second cake has a little experience, and the appearance of the baking is much better than the first one.
Tang Jing took it in his hand and asked everyone to break a piece of it first, cushioning their stomachs.
"Sure enough, it's okay."
"It's a little better than I thought."
"It's like a two-day cake."
"Some of them are eating well."
“……”
The crowd was chattering, and they had already eaten the whole bread.
Chen, who is also a blacksmith and a cook, enjoyed the third dough cake alone.
Let's be honest.
It's really not tasty.
But it's also passable.
I have to say that when the expectations are lowered infinitely, life can always be passable.
So far.
All the students in Class 4 of the third year of high school finally had their first serious lunch.
