Future Food Diary

Chapter 42

When Mu Le heard Ping An's voice, he quickly turned his head to see what happened. He saw that Ping An was holding a black lacquered stone in his hand and looked very excited, so he asked with some doubts, "What's the matter, An An, what new species did you find?" Yet?"

"It hasn't been confirmed yet, but there is a seventy to eighty percent chance that it is a new ingredient."

"What kind of food is that? Stones...can be eaten too?" Mu Le looked at the stone, a little puzzled. Could it be that stones are actually a very delicious food?

"Of course you can't eat stones. I'm talking about this kind of plant that grows on the surface of the stone." Pingan pointed to Mu Le's unknown plant that looked like purple to black moss on the stone.

When Mu Le heard what Ping An said, he became very interested in this stone, no, it should be said that the purple moss on the stone.Just wanted to reach out to take the stone in Ping An's hand to study and study, Ping An handed the stone to her and said uneasy, "Sister Lele, be careful, don't damage the leaves."

"I know, I know, I'll take a look." Mu Le quickly took it over and stared at the small leaves on the stone for a long time, because the bigger leaves were all stuck to the stone because they were just taken out of the sea. She couldn't see anything about the shape, so she didn't know what kind of plant it was. After seeking Ping An's consent, Mu Le picked up the detector and pressed the detection button on the leaf.

Botanical name: unknown

Toxin content: Contains a small amount of water-based toxins

Risk factor: 18%
Seeing the low content of this unknown plant toxin, Mu Le was very excited, and hurriedly called Ping An over to show her the test results.

"But An An, how should I eat this thing, boiled or fried?" Mu Le used her little cooking ability to think about it, but she couldn't figure out how to make it delicious.

Pingan smiled mysteriously and said, "Well, you will know in due time, but let's quickly pick out all these types of stones."

The two picked and picked and finally picked out several pieces. Ping An scraped off all the plants on the stone one by one, put them in clean water and washed them, then took out a chopping board and put the washed leaves on the stone. Spread out thinly on the chopping board.

The level that had been cleaned before was not thrown away, but was set on the fire and burned.

Ping'an's behavior made Mu Le completely confused. Didn't it mean that the water for washing vegetables could not be used? Why is it used again now?
"I'm not using it, but I'm using it as an experiment."

Pingan explained to Mu Le that she actually just remembered that salt is evaporated from the sea, and sea salt is also rich in minerals and trace elements, and is an indispensable seasoning for people.

The kind of salt she discovered before has no energy, it can only be used for seasoning, and she always feels that there is something wrong with eating it safely. Now that she has this opportunity, she wants to try to see if she can use the salt she used to eat Made it.

As the water boils and continues to evaporate, a small amount of white crystals slowly appear on the edge of the pot. After the water in the pot is completely dry, scrape off the few white crystals in the pot with a knife and put them away. Put it into a small dish, and then take out the detector to detect the white crystal.

Item name: unknown

Toxin Analysis: None

Hazard factor: 0
Looking at the results of the data, I finally felt relieved. I was afraid that after tossing for a long time, the food I made could not be eaten, and my work would be in vain.

Now I don’t have to worry about the future. Ping’an dipped a little bit of it with his fingers and put it in his mouth to taste, um, it’s salty, huh?It seems to have a seafood taste, not fishy but fresh.

Mu Le watched from the side as Ping An boiled the vegetable washing water dry and got a little white stuff, then put it in his mouth and showed a surprised and satisfied expression, which was really incomprehensible.

However, she is also a very experimental person. She didn't need Ping An to greet her, and she took the initiative to imitate Ping An's appearance, but she seemed to have a bit too much, and quickly spit it out after taking a bite.

"Bah bah, An An, what did you make, why is it so salty, it doesn't taste good at all." After speaking, he still didn't forget to drink two sips of water to rinse his mouth.

Mu Le's actions and words interrupted Ping An's tasting. Seeing her appearance, Ping An knew that she must have eaten too much salt just now, so she smiled and said, "Sister Le Le, this thing is also salt, not something to eat. Yes, just drink some water and you'll be fine."

When Mu Le heard Ping An's words, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "What? You said it was salt? That's right, no wonder it's so salty."

Pingan nodded and said, "That's right, the white crystals left after the seawater evaporates are salt, and the salt I tasted just now is much more delicious than the salt we found before, and it also takes away some seafood flavors. This kind of salt will definitely enhance the taste of dishes if seasoned with it.”

When Mu Le heard what Ping An said, she also felt a little hopeful, but she suddenly remembered the process of making the salt and said, "But, but will we all use vegetable washing water to make salt in the future?"

Hearing Mu Le's words, Ping An suddenly felt choked, but when she thought about it, she seemed to be made of vegetable washing water just now, and Ping An felt a little uncomfortable when she recalled it like this.Well, she just wanted to make some salt and didn't think about it, so she used the vegetable washing water.

Then Ping An yelled "Brother~" without even thinking about it.

Usually when I heard Ping An calling him in the room, I thought something happened and hurried out to have a look. Both of them sat there quietly and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Brother, can you ask Luo Li to find a clean sea area and bring us some sea water?"

"Now?"

"Well, it's best to give it to us soon, even tomorrow."

"Understood, I will contact him." After listening to Ping An's request, he turned around and went back to the room to contact Luo Li.

After Ping An solved this trivial matter, he turned his attention to the leaves that were drying on the chopping board just now. After the water was filtered, the salt attached to the leaves was not so large, and after drying, they were only covered with a thin layer of salt. After smoothing off the excess salt with his hands, Pingan put the whole piece of sun-dried moss into the oven, brushed it with a layer of soybean oil and started baking.

As soon as the time came, the room was filled with a faint smell of seafood and moss, which made Mu Le, who had never smelled this kind of fragrance, sniff hard at the side.

Ping An looked at the baked food and nodded, took out the tester and tested it, and the result was also safe, so he divided it into three pieces and gave it to Mu Le and each of them, and the three of them began to taste the new food.

As soon as you bite down, there is a crackling sound, and the high temperature evaporates the water, making the thin slices that are still warm from the oven become crispy, chewing in the mouth and having the tenacity of leaves, especially with a little sea salt on top The seasoning makes this new treat so savory and crunchy that even the biggest fans of carnivores can't help but praise this new food.
