Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 58 Food Problems
[Damn it!What the hell is going on with this shitty broken company? It’s okay to work overtime every day at "Zero Zero Seven", and you can even eat a staff meal and be admitted to the hospital! 】

[Brother upstairs, I went to the store downstairs today and had a bowl of cold salad with long hair, and something went wrong with it... Obviously I ate it yesterday, but the female store owner said that she has been washing her hair seriously for the past few days, It is impossible to have health problems, and they are backhanding to blackmail me. 】

[Our cafeteria suddenly closed today, and the originally contracted staff meals turned out to be food delivery instead.But those ingredients looked like pieces of dried carrion, and the meat seemed to be covered with a layer of ink.After some questioning, I realized that the meat could not be eaten directly at all. 】

[Many snack bars nearby are closed, and only a few are still open, but I heard many posts saying that those shops are all faulty, and you will die if you try it...]

[What's the situation?Why did you suddenly engage in this kind of thing, can you still play games happily? 】

[Is there any safe source of food now, please let me know! 】

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

[It doesn't matter whether he is expensive or not, let's talk about it first...]

Ding Ding Ding!
In Chen Ye's list, a list of requesting transactions popped up constantly.

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

Many players came here admiringly and sent invitations to trade.

"There is such a thing..."

Now, Chen Ye finally knew why there were so many more customers suddenly. It turned out that the food source in this world suddenly became less safe.

The players who have just arrived can basically adapt to their current identities and survive by acting.

They have stable jobs, and some players even have social connections at the beginning, and can obtain basic survival materials through currency transactions or welfare systems.

If you are lucky, you will be able to 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 women in this world can enjoy the blessings of ordinary players...

Now comes the problem!

The originally stable source of food suddenly had problems at this moment.

In severe cases, it has even been eaten into the hospital. This is a weird era!
God knows what kind of stuff the doctors in the hospital are, what kind of patients they will meet at the bedside when they are hospitalized, what things will emerge from the unknown environment, and what kind of treatment they will face...

"So, these players have come to me for transactions, because there have been frequent food problems recently?"

Chen Ye suddenly realized, and suddenly understood why the halo of luck above his head was intertwined with "xuanhuang" and "black".

Xuanhuang means wealth.

Ink black means disaster.

Recently, this city may be facing a disaster related to food. In the future, the value of safe and healthy food will continue to rise.

And I have the profession of [cook], and I can make sugar-fried chestnuts.

Therefore, the interweaving of "xuanhuang" and "ink black" does not mean seeking wealth and danger, but rather a sense of making a fortune in disaster.

but……

In the three-color ring, there is another "blue" meaning that has not been solved.

Based on the information above, does the source of the pollution come from the lower reaches of the Xijiang River?

Faced with the transaction information that kept popping up in the list, Chen Ye did not choose to make a transaction hastily.

He calmly made an analysis: "Currently, the entire city of Strange Era has pollution problems. It's not necessarily the ingredients themselves, it may come from the outside..."

According to a poster on the forum, he has spent the past few days at a "Luo Fa Changfen shop" downstairs, tasting the shop's signature cold long hair.

The shopkeeper who uses hair as food is similar to Miss Squirrelfish——

You are the food itself.

Generally, those who can use this ability to open a shop will not have any problems with the ingredients.

Where did that pollution come from?
The answer is simple: water!
Although the method of cold dressing is used, many ingredients need to be added with water.

Then, the possibility of contamination is provided.

It happens to be connected with the speculation that the lower reaches of the Xijiang River is the source of pollution and water-related.

only……

What puzzled Chen Ye was that the son of the sea god was so confident about the pollution yesterday, and there was no sign of pollution on the other side of the embankment, so where did the pollution seep in?
Continuing to browse through the posts, Chen Ye found that the pollution was widespread, and some players said that the food they ate was normal and had no adverse reactions.

Chen Ye took careful note of the group of players who had no problems, and sometimes he could tell from the post records they usually sent that most of their locations were located near Xijiang.

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

This can make people feel puzzled!

It is clear that Xijiang is the source of the infection, so why is the victim farther away from Xijiang?

The clue here seems to be interrupted again...

"Don't be in a hurry to make a deal yet."

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

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 will be a food disaster in this city next, even if there are normal food materials, the difficulty of obtaining them will increase significantly!

The big bag of "pine cones" I bought from Miss Squirrelfish has now been used up by a third.

Facing so many players...

The supply in hand may not be sufficient.

Moreover, since we realize that there may be catastrophic food problems in the future, we must keep more ingredients for ourselves in case of emergency.

The practice of sugar-fried chestnuts is stir-fried in the high temperature of the raging fire, basically no need to add water.

If the source of the pollution really comes from water, it will not have any effect on the sugar-fried chestnuts made by Chen Ye.

Therefore, pine nuts are currently the most suitable ingredients. They can make sugar-fried chestnuts of A-level gourmet food. Just one can fill you up for a day, and it also has the ability to quickly restore your body.

thought here.

Chen Ye walked quickly to the east gate of the alley in Xining, and arrived at Miss Squirrel Fish's shop just before dark.

Warm yellow light shines from the window next to it, and you can faintly hear the chewing sound of "click, click" inside, as if something is gnawing on the bones of an animal.

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

Squeak!

The window opened, and Miss Squirrel Fish's face was suddenly pressed against the window door. That bloated, tumor-like face almost filled the entire window.

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

Miss Squirrelfish hesitated for a moment, her back shook, and five pine cones fell down.

"Five copper coins per catty?" Chen Ye asked uncertainly.

It wasn't until Miss Squirrel Fish squeezed 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 still had "575" copper coins left in his personal assets.

"Now, there should be a period of time without worrying about supplies."

Carrying a big bag full of pine cones, he returned to his shelter while maintaining a wandering attitude.

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

suddenly.

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