Qin Yiyi is preparing to go to the Eternal City. The nearest train will be departing from Chaotic City Station.

Unlike big cities, the train from Chaotic City to the Eternal City only runs once every three days. The previous train left a day and a half ago, and the next train will take another day and a half to arrive.

During this break, she prepared to create a new product.

The original three-piece set increases health, stamina, and attack. What she needs to do this time is to add new items that increase defense and speed on top of the existing attribute bonuses.

In fact, for single-attribute foods, the ingredients used for defense and stamina are almost identical; the only difference is that the finished product has randomly added attribute values.

This time she had plenty of money, and most importantly, she had meat! Pork, no less!

So she decided to make something that was both easy to carry and easy to increase attributes—the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)!

How do you make roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)?

Flour, green peppers, meat, and eggs were prepared, and irrelevant personnel, such as the tentacle monster, Sid, and the white tiger, were driven away by her.

Flour, yeast, sugar, mix—at this moment, what you're sprinkling isn't sugar, it's gold coins!

If this batch of flour failed, she couldn't even imagine how heartbroken she would be, after all, there was no other person like her who was eating pig feed and then feeding the machine to the dying suicide squad.

Favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships are all indispensable.

Add warm water in small amounts several times until the flour forms clumps.

This flour mill is the one she upgraded. It makes white flour quickly and well. The old one made yellow flour, but now she separates the yellow and white flour. She uses the yellow flour as rewards, which makes the slaves very happy.

Thinking about it still makes her feel a little sad. In the territory, not to mention the children, even many of the newcomers in their early twenties and thirties were receiving flour and eating steamed buns for the first time.

However, she always had a question: outsiders who came in were forced to become her slaves, even if it meant dying. But she had heard from others that she could work as a laborer in the territory and not become a slave there. After all, being a slave meant selling one's body... and her children and descendants would all be slaves!

She couldn't figure it out, so she gave up and decided not to think about it anymore. Surely it wasn't someone outside promoting how great it was to be a slave and trying to lure people into becoming slaves?

Next came kneading the dough. To be honest, because she made a lot at once, and kneading dough is hard work, she managed to summon the two most powerful and cleanest tentacles to help her, even though she chased away the tentacle monster.

Hehe, we even spray water to wash our hands before we go out to work!

[They'll work quickly and efficiently, and all they need in return is a meal!]

【Yes, yes, Miss Yiyi, would you like to make some new food? You only need one new dish as payment!】

Because she has a blood pact with the Kraken, she can summon these tentacles and know the whispers in their hearts.

"Okay, no problem. I made roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), I'll save one for each of your hands!"

What is a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)?

[I've never tried it before! But it has meat in it! Is it as delicious as fish balls?]

Qin Yiyi thought for a moment.

It's just as delicious as fish balls, but you might even find it tastier because I add a lot of pork. Each piece is a distinct, savory chunk of pork, plus a touch of green pepper—it's incredibly fragrant!

As Qin Yiyi spoke, her hands continued their work, oblivious to the long, dripping saliva emanating from her two tentacles behind her.

The two tentacles looked at each other and quickly wiped away their drool, otherwise they wouldn't be hired to work with their hands if they were seen!

Roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) is here!

[Haha, we got to eat before all the tentacles did!]

Yes! We ate before even starting! So happy!

The dough was set aside to ferment. Qin Yiyi took out the pork belly and patted it. The pork belly jiggled, and she couldn't help but feel a little envious. She hadn't eaten much meat in almost a month since she arrived here. Even the food in the high-class hotel in the Black Rose Auction House, which was considered quite good, only had a little bit of minced meat. The meat dishes in the hotel were snatched up as soon as they came out.

After removing the fishy smell from the pork belly, she weighed the rock sugar in her hand. It was ridiculously expensive; she wouldn't have bought it if she hadn't made a fortune. But rock sugar was essential for coloring the meat. Once the sugar was applied, the reddish color and the aroma of the plump little squares of pork belly filled the entire kitchen.

Qin Yiyi could hear the tentacle monster swallowing its saliva, so just in case, she retracted the tentacles.

Add dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and fermented bean curd sauce to continue coloring. It's worth mentioning that there's no fermented bean curd sauce at all in the wasteland. In order to get the attribute bonus this time, she considered the food she would make next time when she bought the pig, so she went to great lengths to make fermented bean curd sauce herself. Fermented bean curd is actually very easy to make, but unfortunately there is no fermented bean curd starter, so she still had to put in a lot of effort.

After she added ginger slices, scallion segments, star anise, and other spices, the aroma was so enticing that the two men and one tiger at the door could no longer resist.

After all, Sid had served in the military and had stronger self-control than others.

He swallowed hard as he said, "I'll supervise Big White, and Big White will supervise the tentacles. No one is allowed to take a step ahead!"

He can't defeat the Kraken, but Baymax can still stop it. Although only an adult Baymax is capable of fighting the Kraken, his current premature form only allows for a symbolic stop, but it's still a stop!

Qin Yiyi peeled the boiled eggs and put them into the pot. The round, plump, white and smooth little eggs were cooked together with the meat.

She felt very satisfied with the smell.

God knows, she didn't like eating eggs before, but after going through this hard period, she began to understand how hard it was for every meal her ancestors had to come by!

While the meat and eggs were cooking, she took out the risen dough, rolled it into a flatbread shape, preheated the pan over low heat without adding oil, and put the flatbread directly into the pan. When the flatbread puffed up, she flipped it over, and one by one, the white little flatbreads began to appear with a golden armor.

Once both sides are golden brown, place them in a basket. Then open the pot of meat that has been tantalizingly fragrant. Chop the meat into small pieces (at this point, the meat is incredibly tender and can be easily broken apart with a gentle cut). Add a little green pepper, and use a knife to split the bread in half. After infusing it with its essence, it's ready to eat!

The game system is notifying you.

[Today, the Tomato platform experienced a backend malfunction from around 5 PM to 7 PM. My drafts were swallowed, and I almost thought it was unrecoverable and I'd have to rewrite everything. Last month on the 1st, there was a similar malfunction, but it only lasted less than half an hour. This month, it lasted two hours. When I discovered the malfunction at the end of the workday and turned on my phone, my heart sank. I hadn't posted a single chapter, and I couldn't even make up for the word count. I thought I wouldn't be able to update today and wouldn't get my full attendance bonus. So I kept refreshing the chat, which made me forget to clock out. I only found out about this terrible news when I got home, so I had to go back to the office to clock out. It was so tough!! Thankfully, it was restored later. Thank goodness!]
