Chapter 58: The Food Problem

【Damn!】 What's going on with this shitty company, it's okay to work overtime every day "007", and you can eat a staff meal and go to the hospital! 】

[Brother upstairs, I went to the store downstairs today to eat a bowl of cold salad with long hair, and I also had a problem eating...... Obviously, I ate it yesterday, but the female shopkeeper said that she had washed her hair seriously in the past few days, and it was impossible to have health problems, and she wanted to blackmail me with her backhand. 】

[Our canteen was suddenly closed today, and the staff meals that were originally contracted turned out to be delivered with ingredients. But the ingredients looked like pieces of dried carrion, as if the meat was coated in a layer of ink. After some inquiry, I learned that the meat could not be eaten directly at all. 】

[There are many snack bars in the neighborhood that are closed, and only a few are still open, but I have heard many posts saying that those shops are problematic, and if you try it, you will die......]

[What's going on?] Why did you suddenly engage in this kind of thing, and can you still play the game happily? 】

[Is there any place where there is a safe source of food now, please tell the big guy! ] 】

[It seems that only the food traded with players is safer, especially for players who have unlocked the chef profession, I heard that there is a leaderboard boss's fried chestnuts with sugar that are quite delicious, but the price is relatively expensive, it seems to be called "Chen Ye"? 】

[Now it doesn't matter if he's expensive or not, let's talk about it first......]

Ding Ding Ding!

In Chen Ye's list, a list of requests for transactions kept popping up.

Unexpectedly, due to the recent food problems, Chen Ye's sugar-fried chestnuts were still on fire in the forum for a while.

A lot of players came and sent out invitations to trade.

"There is such a thing......

Now, Chen Ye finally knew why there were so many customers suddenly, it turned out that it was because the food source of this world suddenly became less secure.

The players who have just arrived can basically adapt to their current identity and rely on the playing method to survive.

They have stable jobs, and some players even start with their own social connections, and can get basic survival materials through currency transactions or welfare systems.

If you are lucky, you can experience the feeling of the rich second generation gnawing on the old, or "the rich woman is hungry".

Of course, it is unknown whether the rich woman of this world can be enjoyed by ordinary players......

Now here's the problem!

What was once a stable source of food suddenly had a problem at the moment.

If it's serious, it's even been eaten in the hospital, this is a weird era!

Who knows what the doctors in the hospital are, what kind of patients they will meet at the bedside when they are hospitalized, what will emerge from the unknown environment, and what kind of treatment they will face......

"So, all these players are coming to me to trade because of the frequent food problems lately?"

Chen Ye suddenly realized, and suddenly understood why the aura of luck on his head was intertwined with "Xuanhuang" and "Ink Black".

Xuanhuang means wealth.

Inky black, means calamity.

Recently, the city is about to suffer from food-related disasters, and the value of safe and healthy food will continue to rise for some time to come.

And he has the profession of [chef] and can make fried chestnuts with sugar.

Therefore, the meaning of "Xuanhuang" and "ink black" intertwined is not the meaning of seeking wealth and danger, but the meaning of making a fortune.

But......

In the three-color ring, there is also a "blue" meaning that has not been unraveled.

Combined with the above information, could it be that the source of pollution comes from the lower reaches of the Xijiang River?

Faced with the transaction information that kept popping up in the list, Chen Ye did not rashly choose to trade.

He calmly made an analysis: "At present, the whole city of the strange era has a pollution problem, and it is not necessarily the ingredients themselves, but perhaps from the outside ......"

According to a poster on the forum, he has been downstairs in a "Luofa long noodle shop" for the past few days, tasting the store's signature cold salad long hair.

The shopkeeper who uses hair as an ingredient has a resemblance to Miss Squirrel Fish-

You are the ingredient itself.

Generally, if you can use this skill to open a store, there will be no problems with the ingredients.

So where does the pollution come from?

The answer is simple: water!

Although the cold salad is used, many ingredients need to be made with water.

Then, the possibility of contamination is provided.

It can be linked to the speculation that the lower reaches of the Xijiang River are the source of pollution and that they are related to water.

Merely......

What puzzled Chen Ye was that the heir of the sea god yesterday was still so confident in the pollution, and there was no sign of pollution upstream on the other side of the embankment, so where did the pollution seep in?

Continuing to flip through the post, Chen Ye found that the pollution spread was widespread, and some players said that the food they ate was normal and there were no adverse reactions.

Chen Ye carefully noted down the group of players who were okay, and sometimes he could tell from the records of the posts they usually sent that most of their locations were located near the Xijiang River.

On the contrary, some players who live in the city and are far away from Xijiang are prone to food problems.

It's a bit of a puzzle!

Obviously, Xijiang is the source of infection, so why is it far away from Xijiang?

The clue seems to have been interrupted again......

"Don't rush into a trade just yet."

Chen Ye didn't choose to fry chestnuts with sugar for the time being, and quickly exchanged them for copper coins with all the players.

This does have a chance to make a fortune.

But the problem is that money is earned, but safe ingredients may not be available.

If there is a food disaster in the city next, even if there are still normal ingredients, the difficulty of obtaining them will increase significantly!

The large bag of "pine cones" that I got from Miss Squirrel Fish is now used for a third of it.

Facing so many players......

The supply of goods in hand may not be enough.

And, now that you realize that the future of food may be catastrophic, you must keep more ingredients for yourself in case you need them.

The method of stir-frying chestnuts in sugar is made by stir-frying in a blazing heat, and there is basically no need to add water.

If the source of pollution does come from water, it will have no effect on the sugar-fried chestnuts made by Chen Ye.

Therefore, pine nuts are currently the most suitable ingredient, and the sugar-fried chestnuts that can make A-grade cuisine can fill their stomachs for a day with just one piece, and also have the ability to quickly recover the body.

Come to think of it.

Chen Ye walked quickly to the east gate of Xining Alley, just before dark, and came to the door of Miss Squirrel Fish's shop.

The warm yellow light shines through the nearby shop window, and you can faintly hear the "click" chewing sound inside, as if something is gnawing at the bones of an animal.

Chen Ye came to the door and knocked politely three times: "Miss Squirrel Fish, are you there?" ”

Squeak!

The window opened, and Miss Squirrel Fish's face suddenly pressed to the door, and her bloated face like a sarcoma filled almost the entire window.

"I want to buy ten catties of pine cones, how much is a catty, please?" Chen Ye touched the copper coin in his pocket.

Miss Squirrel Fish hesitated for a moment, her back trembled, and five pine cones fell.

"Five copper coins a pound?" Chen Ye asked more uncertainly.

It wasn't until Miss Squirrel Fish struggled to squeeze out a little space with her fat neck and nodded, that Chen Ye counted fifty copper coins and handed them over, exchanging ten catties of pine cones.

At this time, Chen Ye's personal assets were left with "575" copper coins.

"Now, there should be a period of time when you don't have to worry about supplies."

Carrying a large bag full of pine cones, he remained wandering and returned to his shelter.

At this moment, the figure of the old erhu finally returned here.

Suddenly.

Chen Ye found that behind the old erhu man, there were more than a dozen buckets, placed side by side along the low tile wall, all filled with water.
