original chef king

Chapter 68 Plan ahead
The arrival of chicken prostitutes not only brought food and animal skins, but also brought some changes to Heishi Valley.

Once upon a time, the warriors of Blackstone Valley were full of fear when the gate of the world was opened. They were afraid of being attacked by beasts, but now, they began to look forward to the attack of beasts.

Because they understand that only in battle will they become stronger.

For this reason, they even began to actively search for the beast duel. Of course, they were still looking for it within the territory of Black Stone Valley.

The emperor paid off, he really let them find a beast, it was the kind of giant wild boar that Li Qi saw for the first time, but he didn't know if it was that one.

As a result, of course Chi and the others hunted down the giant wild boar without damage. You must know that they still have mounts to bless them, and the wild boar can no longer fight them, after all, they can't even run.

Of course, this kind of wild boar cannot be raised, it is too big, and it does not understand human nature.

Of course, there are also some people who do not seek to make progress, such as Nong, who does not seem to have any interest in making himself stronger, he only cares about eating.

Li Qi also satisfied him very readily.

But Nong would rather become stronger with Chi and the others.

"This... this dried grass is really not tasty, it's killing me."

Nong looked at Li Qi with tears of grievance.

In the past, he still ate grass, which he could accept, but now Li Qi is getting worse, drying some fruits, roots, and grass for him to eat.

It's a bit bitter, this is undoubtedly a torture for foodies!

Li Qi said: "Today we must taste all the herbs here."

Nong Dao: "But I have eaten all of these!"

"It's drying."

"Isn't it different?"

"Of course it's different." Li Qi said: "After drying, the medicinal properties of these herbs will change. Simply put, the toxicity may decrease, and the medicinal properties may increase. We don't have much time, so we must hurry up."

Nong was surprised: "Why don't you have much time? Am I going to die?"

day!Leaked!Li Qi smiled and said: "What are you thinking? You should know that we may face the attack of beasts at any time, and we may be injured at any time. If we perfect the herbal medicine as soon as possible, this is too important for us in Black Stone Valley."

"But...but not so much."

Nong looked back and saw that the bare rocky mountain was now a piece of emerald green, and it had been completely covered by various herbs. Since the chickens and the others left, Li Qi asked them to pick some herbs on a large scale.

"It's not all for you to eat. What are you in a hurry for? You just need to taste a little of everything." Li Qi rolled his eyes and said.

"That's true."

Nong nodded and continued to taste.

Obviously, Li Qi is serious about making traditional Chinese medicine, because those deer recovered, which made Li Qi very excited, which proves that the expression of Nong's crystal belly is very accurate.

But to make medicine, it is necessary to reduce the toxicity of the herb and improve its medicinal properties. This requires some processing, so after the processing, the farmer has to taste it again.

Li Qi once went to the Northern Song Dynasty, and also learned Chinese medicine from famous teachers. This knowledge has helped him a lot!

After tasting them one by one, Li Qi threw a piece of chewing gum to Nong as a reward, and then hurried to the stream, where he saw Qin and the others cooking lunch.

But Li Qi just took a look, and then ran to the back of the kitchen, only to see that there was a stove over there, and Rong was taking care of it alone, and Nong quickly followed.

"How about it?"

"I don't know, I'm firing according to what you said." Rong shook his head and said honestly.

"Li Qi, what kind of food are you doing here? Is it delicious to cook with animal skins and herbs?"

Nong looked at the cauldron with suspicion.

"Don't just eat it, it's a plaster."

"What is plaster?"

"You break your leg, and I'll tell you what the plaster is."

Li Qi said something angrily, and then said to Rong: "Open it and have a look."

"Oh."

Rong reached out and lifted the lid of the cauldron.

"Wow! It smells so bad!"

Nong saw the dark place inside, and the smell was unpleasant, afraid that Li Qi would ask him to try it again, so he hurriedly said, "I'm going to help Qin cook."

After speaking, he slipped away.

In fact, Li Qi taught him to try it at all, because the medicine had already been tested on those deer, but he added animal oil and glue to make a plaster.

"Not bad."

Li Qi nodded happily, and then said to Rong: "Rong, you see that Huo Hou's skill has surpassed mine."

Rong scratched his head and said honestly, "You taught me."

"In terms of controlling the heat, you are already better than me."

Li Qi shook his head and smiled, he was very happy in his heart, he has brought countless apprentices, none of them can surpass him in controlling the fire, Rong is the first, and it has only been so long, it can be seen that Rong has a strong talent for fire .

This side is still cooking, and there is already dinner.

The wild boar that I ate yesterday is a cauldron of dried fish today.

I saw that everyone was sitting at their dining table, eating happily.Nowadays, everyone in Black Stone Valley has their own dining table, which is very simple and made of wooden piers, blocks or stone slabs.

"Man, is it delicious?" Li Qi walked over and asked Man Xiao.

"good to eat."

Afraid that he might not express well, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

Li Qi shook his head with a smile, and said, "Today I also prepared a special food for you."

"What is it?"

Quite excited.

Nong Dao: "Impossible, why don't I know."

"You have to taste the medicine carefully, how could you not know." Li Qi glanced at Nong angrily, and then said to Zu: "Bring it up."

"Oh."

Zu bent over and picked up a big jar, opened it, and grabbed a handful of white things from inside.

"what is this?"

Many people said in unison.

"Give it to everyone to taste."

Zu immediately took some points and gave them to everyone.

Man took it and ate it immediately, and then said with a small mouth: "It's not delicious, it must not be made by Li Qi."

Nong Dao: "The taste is good, but it lacks a little taste." After being with Li Qi for a long time, I have learned a lot of words about taste.

Hui suddenly asked: "Have you not tasted what this is made of?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Hui hehe said: "This is made of white stems!"

"White stem?"

"Yes, it tastes like a white stalk and has no taste at all."

……

Nong wondered: "Li Qi, what are you doing to make this? It's not delicious. It's better to make more white jade mud."

Many nodded in agreement.

Li Qi smiled and said, "Do you know how long ago the white stems you ate were picked?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"The day before the chicken whore came."

"No wonder it's so bad, it's been left for so long."

Li Qi snorted and said, "If you keep it for that long, I'm afraid you'll be able to smell the wine. I steamed the white stems and then dried them, so they can be preserved for a long time."

"What is wine?" Nong asked.

Yup!How can I forget the wine?Forget it, when it comes to brewing wine now, these unrestrained guys have to be addicted to alcohol, so what a fart it is!Li Qidao: "Don't worry about what the wine is. The point of this dish is not whether it tastes good, but that it can be kept for a long time."

Nong Dao: "So what?"

Li Qi sighed, and said: "We have to rely on ourselves now. Think about it, if the beasts occupy our picking area, will we starve to death? Now that we have this kind of white stem slices, We can store food well, so that we are safer, and it can be said that we become stronger, because we are no longer so easy to starve to death. Besides, in the future, we will always go out of the field of Blackstone Valley to hunt, and these vegetables can Take it for our people to eat on the road. Although it tastes bad, at least you won’t starve. In addition, I will try my best to improve its taste.”

He said excitedly: "Okay, okay, this white stem slice is really good."

Chi also looked excitedly at the white stem piece in his hand.

Nong Dao: "It would be even better if it could be cooked deliciously. Even if we don't go hunting, we can take some with us and eat it anytime."

Man looked at Nong and said, "Nong, what you said is really true."

This guy's accomplishments in eating are really beyond the reach of ordinary people.Li Qidao: "So I think we should pick a large number of these white stems, make white stem slices, and store them well, so that we can at least have confidence in our hearts. If there is any accident, at least we won't starve to death."

Po Yi nodded again and again, "You're right, you're right, you should do this."

Of course, the rest of the people have no objection, after all, no one wants to starve to death.

Li Qi added: "In addition, we should suspend firing pots and bowls, and focus on picking and sewing armor."

"Why?" Choma asked.

Li Qidao: "Because we have already hoarded a lot of pots and bowls, and the Wild Lake Department may not exchange a large number of pots and bowls with us. What they exchanged last time is enough. Even if we come back next time, what we have It’s enough to exchange with them. But I found that they are very interested in the armor we sew, and I think they will definitely come to exchange armor with us next time.”

Equator: "But the long worm skin is very precious."

Li Qidao: "I didn't say to exchange long worm skins, they don't know how precious long worm skins are. We use the animal skins they gave us to sew armor, and then exchange more animal skins with them, so that our There will only be more and more hides."

Nong was pleasantly surprised: "This idea is really good!"

Man Xihe said: "I understand, Li Qi, you are really smart."

Li Qi smiled secretly, and said again: "Of course, we have to sew all those long worm skins into armor, and there is always nothing wrong with being prepared."

Qiao Ma and the others nodded.

After dinner.

Li Qi carried his hands on his back, and when he came to Lie and the others, he saw that they were polishing the stone arrows very seriously, and he couldn't help asking: "Aren't there snake bone arrows? Why do you still make so many stone arrows?"

Lie said: "Snake bone arrows are so precious, we are reluctant to use them."

Li Qidao: "You can use your brains, don't shake your head, but use your head to think. Our main task now is to capture the beast alive and kill the invading beast. To catch the beast alive, you can't use the stone arrow. Kill the beast, that's for sure." When it is very dangerous, of course you have to use snake bone arrows! Therefore, these stone arrows are completely useless! Instead of making stone arrows, it is better to make more clay arrows. In addition."

As he said that, he suddenly took out a big wooden bat from behind, which was similar to a baseball bat, but much bigger, and said, "You can make more of these wooden bats."

"What's the use of this?"

"It's very useful." Li Qi said: "We can use it to stun the beast and bring it back! It's almost enough to make a few hundred."

"so much?"

"Didn't I say that our goal now is to have more, as long as there are more, then we will be safer. From today on, stop polishing any stone tools, and focus on making clay-headed arrows and this kind of big wooden stick."

Lie and the others looked at each other, although they couldn't understand it, but the facts told them that Li Qi's words were usually correct, so they nodded in agreement.

"Hurry up and work, I'll go to Rong to have a look."

Li Qi threw the stick to Lie, and then walked towards the stream.

After walking for a while, I suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Li Qi."

Li Qi looked back and saw Chi walking over, and said, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Equator: "I think you've been a little strange recently."

Li Qi asked in surprise, "What's so strange?"

Equator: "You asked farmers to pick a lot of herbs and white stems, and you asked Qiaoma to sew armor, and here you asked us to make big wooden sticks."

Li Qidao: "Didn't I tell you all the reasons?"

Equator: "But I don't think you're telling the truth."

Li Qi asked, "Then what do you think I'm doing?"

Chi was silent for a while, then said, "I think you are preparing for a big battle."

Li Qi laughed and said: "What you said is really right, isn't that what I said, just in case, who knows if there will be a big battle, if it happens, these preparations are for us , but it is very important."

Equator: "But I get the feeling you know there's going to be a big fight."

Li Qi smiled and said: "Stop making trouble, I'm not in heaven, how do I know, and it's a big battle, have you ever fought a big battle?"

Chi shook his head.

Li Qidao: "It's a coincidence, I don't have it either! I prepared all of this just to make our Black Stone Valley safer."

Chi was silent for a while, and said: "I just want you to know that we are not afraid of fighting, but look forward to fighting." The implication is that don't hide from us because you are afraid of our fear, I am no longer afraid of fighting.

Li Qi nodded and smiled, "Understood."

Chi turned and left.

Li Qi looked at Chi's back and sighed secretly, I really don't know if there will be a big battle, it all depends on Xiao Bai's operation.
