Chapter 16

"Okay, okay. Come on, Will, how about my dressing?"

Just when Zhong Qiling didn't know what to say, Alger took a bowl and put a bowl of his homemade 'seasoning sauce' out.

"Okay, then I'll start." Will happily took a piece of meat and dipped it...

"Bah, bah! God! Isn't this too salty? Alger, how much salt did you put in?" Will quickly spit out the things in his mouth and drank water.

"But didn't Miss Zhong say to add all those condiments?" Argel saw Will's accusing eyes, and looked at Zhong Qiling quite dissatisfied and said.

"Uh, maybe you added too much salt?" Zhong Qiling looked at the strangely ineffective bowl of so-called sauce, and said, "Why don't you slowly add some of that soup into it, dilute it, and wash it down to So far as the taste you can accept?"

"That's the only way to go." Will said and started to do it himself. He didn't dare to let Alger, the young master, come again. Otherwise, they would not only waste natural food tonight, but also waste various seasonings. But it's too inappropriate.After all, although the seasoning is processed and manufactured, the alliance does not lack this.However, you must know that it is the basic principle of the alliance to provide moderation without waste.

"All right."

After Will was done, he nodded to Alger to indicate that it was ready to start.

"No, why don't you try it first?" Alger was deeply impressed by Will's expression just now, he didn't want to abuse himself, after all, he was just drinking nutritional supplements.

"Then, I'm not polite."

Will took another piece of meat, dipped it into the bowl, and calmly put the meat into his mouth under Alger's expectant eyes.Hey, although it's not very delicious, at least the taste is passable, not too bad.So, after a while, after Will swallowed the meat, he took another piece of vegetable and dipped it in the same way as before.

"How? How?" Alger saw that Will ate the food this time, and didn't spit it out again.He hurried over and asked, "How does it taste? Is it edible?"

Will took another chopstick of food, and said proudly: "Of course you can eat it. Do you think I am like you? Such a simple thing is messed up."

"Hey~" Alger scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.While eating, he commented: "Well. Although I don't smell any fragrance, and it's not as delicious as the chefs in the restaurant, but at least I can eat it. I will be considered a good cook in the future! Wahaha~"

Seeing that Alger and Will really ate all the dishes, Shen Dewei became more interested in the topic just now, so he continued to ask: "Miss Zhong, is this the way you eat hot pot? It seems that apart from the seasoning, Is this boiled water?"

Zhong Qiling had been secretly observing Shen Dewei just now, and saw his eyes light up when he saw the two people eating the food.So she was well prepared, and explained with confidence: "Actually, the hot pot I said is not like this. If they eat like this, the dishes are cooked, but because each dish needs different cooking time, so Boiling in such a pot of water will actually destroy the taste and texture of certain dishes. Just like their vegetables, they have been boiled too old and rotten."

Shen Dewei looked in the direction Zhong Qiling pointed, nodded and said: "Yes. I have heard that different foods are processed in different ways, and some are even preserved in different ways. So, may I ask Miss Zhong what you said What kind of cooking method is hot pot?"

"Actually, it's a little bit similar to them. It's just that when we make hot pot, we usually put what we eat in it. Then we take it out after the food is cooked and dip it in sauce. Not all Pour in all of them together, and eat them when they are fully cooked."

After Zhong Qiling finished explaining, she looked at Shen Dewei, afraid that he would ask her why she knew this again.Quickly added: "Actually, this is very simple, but generally speaking, making hot pot requires more ingredients, which is more interesting and makes people enjoy it more. But because of this, other people seldom do it .After all, we don’t distribute many natural foods. It’s more expensive to buy one, let alone buy a dozen or even twenty natural foods to make hot pot. That’s why you haven’t heard of it.”

"Oh." Shen Dewei listened and thought about it too.Just smelling the taste, what Alger and the others ate was tasteless, and what Alger said just now, it wasn't even as good as the taste of the restaurant's chef. The so-called hot pot really didn't taste very good.In addition, if you really need more than a dozen kinds of food, such a luxurious way of eating is really not in line with the alliance's principle of moderation.

"By the way, Ms. Zhong, your dinner tonight is delicious. I think those wild vegetables taste good too. Especially the one with rattan roots, I think it's pretty good. Do you mind? , Let me tell the research institute about these edible parts? Of course, if you mind, I won’t mention it to others. If you don’t mind, I also want you to help pick the edible parts, so I can help you Send it to the research institute? Look at it, how is it?" Shen Dewei said with some embarrassment.

After all, as he said before, there are too few natural vegetables on Hope Star.Wild vegetables were discovered by Zhong Qiling. Logically speaking, she has the first right to decide whether and when to make them public.But because of this, as a member of the alliance army, Shen Dewei always put the interests of the alliance first, so he couldn't stop asking.

Just like what Shen Dewei knew before: the research institute has known for a long time that many wild plants are nutritious and non-toxic. Although they tried to pick a lot of them back to make food at the beginning, the effect was very poor and the taste was strange. Poor, uncomfortable, hard to swallow.So slowly, the research institute stopped trying in this area. After all, according to the data kept by the alliance, they couldn't cultivate many natural foods that were proved to be vegetables, and they didn't have time to get others. Plants that know what works.

But the situation is different now, Zhong Qiling obviously knows that even for food like today, she doesn't need to do too much research, she also knows which parts can be eaten and which parts can't be eaten.Now that someone knows how to pick them correctly and how to deal with them, these plants become as delicious as vegetables.That is a rare and valuable asset for the entire league.So, even though he knew what he was doing was wrong, he still asked.

"Huh? Send it to the research institute? In fact, the young leaves of ordinary plants can almost be eaten." Zhong Qiling remembered that her grandmother said before that during the great famine, many people rushed to eat the bark.

"However, the research institute doesn't know how to deal with it. If you don't mind, I would like to ask you to announce the method. By then, there will be more natural vegetables for everyone to choose from."

"This is fine. However, in fact, if you want to identify wild vegetables, I can't recognize them all. I only remember a few of the more common ones. The processing method is very simple. It can be fried or boiled like other vegetables, or eaten cold. Okay. The point is that there are many wild vegetables that may have a bitter taste, so you need to blanch them in water to remove the bitterness."

Although Zhong Qiling knew the price of the natural food here, she never thought of holding wild vegetables in her hands. After all, the things in her treasure jade space were not only better than wild vegetables, but also more, enough for her to eat It's been a long, long time.The most important thing is, if I tell everyone about the wild vegetables, then in the end, everyone can eat more vegetables, and it won't be so abrupt when she eats vegetables.Therefore, Zhong Qiling very much agrees with Shen Dewei's statement of being open.

"Thank you for your understanding. Then, shall we pick wild vegetables tomorrow?" Shen Dewei not only lost most of his doubts about Zhong Qiling after this dinner, but even felt that the other party's image had changed after hearing the other party's promise to announce it. The appearance becomes taller.He didn't know what Zhong Qiling was before, but wild vegetables alone were enough to bring a lot of benefits to the alliance. As long as the other party didn't do anything that really harmed the interests of the alliance, Shen Dewei felt that he could ignore them.

"Wait, boss, our task is not finished yet!" Alger said disapprovingly when he looked up when he heard Shen Dewei say to pick wild vegetables after eating.

"I know this. I will report this matter to my superiors at night, and then more people will come to help you with the task. As for me, I have more important things to do." Shen Dewei looked at Alger, earnestly say.

Alger roared in his heart: Boss, you are a soldier!You are the captain of the most famous No. [-] team in our Ottway City. What you call more important is to pick wild vegetables?How can it compare to the importance of investigating this unknown beast for the safety of the town of Jotla and even the safety of the entire alliance? !
"But……"

"Jie, I will report this matter to Captain Lake, and the captain will make a decision at that time. By the way, if you have nothing to do, go back first." Shen Dewei looked at Zhong Qiling who had already packed up his things and went to the kitchen. teammates said.

"Okay. But boss, I still think you should think about it again... After all, the matter of the beast is also very important." Alger turned his head and said reluctantly as he walked.

"Okay, I see." Shen Dewei watched Alger and Will go out, and immediately went to the living room to report the matter to Captain Lake.

"Oh my god. Is this true? De Wei, I think you are doing a good job. However, you are not a professional in this field, and neither am I. So I will report this to the above and ask them to send a professional personnel to handle.

Dewei, you should continue to follow up on the beast!After all, I don't think it is possible for such a big abnormality to appear out of thin air. If you can't find it within the hope line, I will apply to the above to give you enough preparations to let you go outside the hope line.what do you think? " Captain Lake suggested after listening to Shen Dewei's words.

"I think what you said, Captain, is right. I'm not a professional. Maybe I'm not the most suitable candidate. Let's go to investigate outside the Hope Line. Two hundred miles away from the Hope Line, plants and beasts are more mutated than others. Many, even the air may be different from the hope line.

So I think, first of all, we should investigate in the sub-safety zone within [-] miles outside Xixi.However, I need additional staff.After all, the farther you go, the bigger the place you need to find. "Shen Dewei is not an unreasonable person, on the contrary, he is the most reasonable person, so after Captain Lake said it, he thought about it and immediately agreed.
