This Game is Too Real Chapter 24

  Chapter 24 From now on, you are the cook of the shelter!

   That newcomer named "Mosquito" has really good woodworking skills.

   Lao Bai and Fang Chang used steel bars as rulers to measure the boards that had not been sawn for a long time. He only carried a saw, and he cut out a pile after three cuts and five divisions.

   Not only that, these boards also have snap edges, which can be easily put together to form a square hollow brick groove.

   After a while, several molds for making bricks were made.

"You can't handle the wood well, you see... it's so fast that mushrooms are growing." Mosquito wiped his sweat, put the saw aside, looked at Fang Chang and Lao Bai and asked, "Is this enough? "

   "Enough is enough! Thank you, brother, you are a big help!" Lao Bai patted Mosquito's shoulder with a beaming expression on his face.

   Mosquito looked shy and laughed dryly.

   "You're welcome! Just let me know if you need anything."

   Lao Bai smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

   "Okay! I remember it, you'll be welcome next time!"

Mosquito:"……"

   With molds, making mud bricks is much easier.

Lao Bai and Fang Chang combined the yellow mud collected by the river with a little water, rubbed it into a thick mud, poured it into the mold, placed a square shape on the ground, and then stuffed it into the gap in the middle. Put some charcoal on it, and put ash on the surface of the mud brick.

   This is also the method that Lao Bai learned from the wilderness survival video.

   When the first layer of bricks was almost dry, they changed their orientation and continued to stack the second layer, and so on, until the stack of bricks was higher than their heads.

   When he was done, Lao Bai carefully ignited the carbon inside the brick stack, let the fire start burning from the middle, and then gradually engulfed the entire brick stack.

   "Can this thing work?"

  Looking at the "mud stack" that was smoking, Fang Chang wiped the sweat from his forehead with his muddy arm, as if he had crawled out of a cesspool.

  Old Bai's image is not very good, and he has more soot on his face, as if he had just climbed out of a coal mine.

   "The ghost knows, you can only wait and see."

  It was the first time for him to burn this thing. When he was a child, he only watched adults make it. How could he know whether this method would work or not.

   Everything can only be seen tomorrow.

   "Let's go, let it burn here first."

   "Let's go to the cement kiln to see. I feel that we are very close to the finished product. This time, the force of the blast should be stronger, and try to get a bucket out before it goes offline!"

   On the other hand, with the help of [WC Really Has Mosquito], Gu Feng and Ye Shi finally completed the improvement of the Nth generation fishing gear.

   They replaced the original tubular structure with a cage-like structure, and replaced the weak wooden strips with strong steel bars, and reinforced the main structure of the trap twice.

   Don't care about any fish, don't even think about leaving when you come in!

  The three of them went to the lake together, intending to try again.

   looks very happy.

   As for Chu Guang, he was still pondering the bacon technique.

  Although there is still not much progress...

   "Dear Manager, what are you doing...?"

Hearing the sound from the side, Chu Guang stood up from the bacon rack, clapped the soot on his hands and looked aside, only to see [Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes], looking curiously at the bacon he made. shelf.

   If I remember correctly, this guy seems to be a chef who graduated from New Oriental?

  Thinking of this, Chu Guang's eyes suddenly lit up.

   "I'm working out how to make bacon...you're here just in time, and from now on you'll be the chef at Outpost 404!"

   said, Chu Guang did not give the player a chance to speak at all, looked at him seriously and continued.

   "The situation we are facing now is very serious. In addition to the construction of outposts on the surface, we have to reserve enough food for the 100 compatriots who will arrive on the surface before winter."

"I need your help!"

  The scrambled eggs were stunned.

  The chef is ok…

   In reality, he is a chef. Before going online, he cooked two dishes before handing over the spoon to his colleague.

   Is this equivalent to a career-changing life player?

   It took him a long time to open his mouth.

   "But... what can I do for you?"

   "Good question."

  Chu Guang looked at the bacon stand beside him.

   "I tried smoked meat, but the effect was not satisfactory. I need you to solve the problem of food storage... I have read your information, and the organization said that you have relevant experience in food processing, right?"

   Scrambled eggs froze.

   "I know a little bit about it, but games are games after all - I mean, I'm not sure if my experience applies here either."

   Thinking that this is the game world, Brother Scrambled Egg temporarily changed his mouth, but it seemed that the NPC didn't care, probably because the program was set to automatically ignore reality-related elements that had nothing to do with the game.

   "It's okay, I need professional advice," Chu Guang said, looking at the bacon stand beside him, "Help me see what's wrong with the bacon stand I made."

   Looking at the wooden shelf in front of him, the scrambled eggs fell silent.

   Not so much what went wrong...

   Rather, it is a problem everywhere.

   "This... First of all, the bacon has to be in a closed environment. I'm afraid that your roasting method will burn the outside and it will be useless. And the meat is sprinkled with spices?"

   "A special kind of tobacco leaf."

   "Tobacco?!"

"Well," Chu Guang nodded, looking at the surprised scrambled eggs, "this is an inland area, and salt is very expensive. The local survivors use this kind of tobacco leaves rich in aromatic compounds and tar to replace table salt, Crushed and rubbed on the surface of the food, the preservatives are mixed with the oil on the surface of the food by heating to achieve the preservative effect.”

   Can it still be like this? !

   scrambled eggs shocked everyone.

  Some aromatic compounds can indeed act as food preservatives, but this is the first time he has heard that this stuff can be eaten.

   Maybe it won't kill you if you don't overdose?

   But his intuition told him that this smoking process is like fighting poison with poison...

   "Actually, you can smoke meat without adding salt...but the flavor is not very good. I don't understand the method you mentioned, but the smoked food is not suitable from a health point of view."

The term    scrambled eggs is more euphemistic, because I heard that NPCs have a favorability setting, and only when the favorability is high can they take on hidden quests.

   In reality, he rolled his eyes.

   "You don't need salt?!" Chu Guang was stunned.

"Well... microbes need moisture to survive, and smoked meat essentially dries the moisture in the meat to achieve a dehydrating effect. It works better with salt, lasts longer, and tastes better. But without it, as long as It can be done properly.”

   "Of course, if the fat content is high, dehydration will be more troublesome... It depends on the specific meat."

   Having said that, the scrambled eggs paused for a while, looked a little embarrassed at the bacon rack next to him, and whispered.

   "But in either case, you didn't seal it... It's definitely not good."

   If you can pickle food without consuming this quirky tobacco leaf, it will undoubtedly be a happy event for the outpost.

   However, Chu Guang was still a little puzzled.

   No matter how ignorant the survivors of Bette Street are, since they can survive in this wasteland until now, they shouldn't even be wrong about this survival skill.

   What went wrong?

   However, Chu Guang did not intend to think about such troublesome matters for the time being.

   One is because he is not so free.

   One more thing, let the NPC solve everything, so what do you need the player to do?

   "Very good, this glorious and arduous task will be handed over to you!"

   patted this little cute new on the shoulder.

  Chu Guang solemnly handed over the work of bacon to 【Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes】, and asked about safety issues, and then left happily.

good.

   solved another trouble.

  Speaking of which, the food problem has already taken hold. Should I try to recruit more players to improve my productivity?

   With just these few hands, I may not be able to repair the walls of the sanatorium until the end of the month.

   Just as Chu Guang was thinking about it, an excited cheer suddenly came from not far away.

   "Cow batch!!!"

   "Damn, it's finally done!"

   I wanted to use a pen to draw a picture of what the mutant leech looks like, but I was afraid that you might misunderstand, so forget it _(:3」∠)_
