Chapter 065 Chapter 65 Sounding the Alarm
After all the meat strips were stewed and the moisture was drained, An Qing started the next step, while Ye Yu and the others continued to watch and learn from the side.
Wash the pan clean and heat the oil. Of course, don’t use too much oil. When the oil is cooked, pour the dried meat strips in and stir-fry.
The dried meat made in this way is obviously not authentic, but who cares? As long as it is edible and tastes good, that’s fine.
Stir-fry over low heat until the dried meat loses moisture and becomes harder.
An Qing started to prepare the seasoning. Actually, she couldn't quite remember what the specific seasoning ingredients were for the beef jerky, but after watching so many cooking videos, she could now roughly guess some of it.
She took out a small basin and bought the seasoning she needed from the system.
Onion, ginger, garlic powder, thirteen spices, chili powder, sugar, pepper, cumin, sesame seeds, salt...
She couldn't remember the exact proportions of the ingredients, so she could only follow her heart.
She poured all the seasonings into a bowl and mixed them evenly. Then she tasted it and added whatever she felt was missing. When she felt the taste was almost right, she scooped out a bowl of seasonings from the bowl, sprinkled it evenly on the dried meat in the pot, and continued to stir-fry.
The flavors of spices such as chili, cumin, sesame, and thirteen spices are stimulated by the remaining oil in the pot, and the fragrance spreads instantly.
Those who smelled this smell couldn't help swallowing.
The fragrance is so strong and stimulating that the saliva in my mouth is secreted uncontrollably.
An Qing served out a pot of dried meat, asked Ye Yu to wash the pot and cook the next one, and then she took the dried meat that had just come out of the pot and tasted it.
After stir-frying, the dried meat has obviously shrunk a lot compared to before, and is only the size of a finger. When you put it in your mouth, it is not as difficult to chew as you might imagine. Although it has a tough texture, it is easy to bite off and does not feel dry at all.
Compared to the beef jerky she had eaten in her previous life, An Qing prefers this kind of beef jerky, which is chewy but not too hard or irritating to the teeth.
However, this is probably not due to a problem with her cooking method, but probably because the quality of the snow pork itself is very good.
An Qing ate a piece of dried meat, smacked her lips, and the delicious taste lingered in her mouth.
Ye Yu cleaned the wok, came back and started stir-frying the meat strips according to An Qing's previous steps. At this time, An Qing's communicator suddenly rang.
An Qing was stunned and took out the communicator to see that it was Wei Xunyi.
She answered the call with some doubt, "Secretary Wei."
"An Qing, the alien beast riot has expanded and has left the dense forest. Now, traces of alien beasts have appeared around the entire base. According to the current situation, they are very likely to arrive at the base within one to two days." Wei Xunyi didn't waste any words and directly stated the seriousness of the matter. "This premature outbreak of alien beasts is due to an unknown influence that stimulated the mutant beasts to enter the estrus period early. But in addition to causing them to enter the estrus period, all the mutant animals have mutated again..."
An Qing's expression gradually became solemn.
After a little thought, she realized how serious the matter was. The base's defense was strong, but it could not withstand the attacks of too many high-level mutant animals, not to mention that these mutant animals had undergone secondary mutations.
An Qing: "I understand. What do you need me to do?"
Wei Xunyi: "I need you to make as much food as possible to improve your combat power during this period."
An Qing: "Okay, arrange for someone to deliver the meat."
After hanging up the phone, An Qing and Ye Yu were stir-frying the dried meat. The dried meat had begun to harden gradually, but it was not cooked enough yet, so Ye Yu had not started to add the seasoning.
An Qing's gaze shifted to the basin of meat strips that had been stewed in a wok, and an idea gradually emerged in her mind.
These strips of meat were cooked in a wok after removing the foam. Does this count as being cooked in a wok?
If you count, these meat strips actually already have special effects. If we use ordinary cookware to prepare the next steps, will the prepared food still have the effect of increasing combat power by 50%?
Thinking of this, An Qing took out a stove from the kitchen, then took out a wok made in the base, heated the oil, and then started stir-frying the dried meat.
An Qing's eyes flashed. If her idea succeeded, she would be able to provide more food that could enhance the combat power of the fighters during this period.
The mutated animals gradually surrounded the base. This was a serious incident that concerned the safety of everyone's life, so An Qing did not dare to be careless.
After all, if this base was really breached by mutant animals, she would have no way to survive.
At this moment, the alarm sounded throughout the base. The sound was long and loud, like a mournful howl, which made everyone panic.
Ye Yu prepared a pot of dried meat, but because she didn't control the heat well, some of the edges of the dried meat were burnt and stuck to the pot.
I had just turned off the fire and was feeling a little uneasy, wanting to ask An Qing to come over and take a look, but then I heard the alarm ringing throughout the base, and my face suddenly changed.
Such alarm sounds rarely occur, but the sound is engraved in their bones from childhood to adulthood and is deeply engraved in their memory.
Every time such an alarm is sounded, it proves that the base is about to face a critical moment concerning the life and death of the entire base.
As soon as the alarm sounded, all non-essential workers in the base were required to gather at the nearest assembly point and follow the instructions of their superiors.
Ye Yu and others subconsciously put down what they were holding and rushed out.
Tang Ming immediately scolded her, "Stop, where are you going?"
Ye Yu was stunned and couldn't react for a moment, "Captain, alarm..."
Tang Ming glanced at her and said, "Our current mission is to protect An Qing's safety. This is our only and most important mission."
Ye Yu finally reacted and took a deep breath, "Yes."
Tang Ming strode outside and scolded all those who wanted to rush to the gathering point immediately after hearing the noise.
After Tang Ming left, Mu Chen stood beside An Qing to protect her tacitly.
An Qing didn't care about anything else. She quickly stir-fried the dried meat in the pot. When she felt it was almost done, she sprinkled the seasoning evenly and continued to stir-fry. When Tang Ming came back, her pot of dried meat was already done.
She put the pot of dried meat aside, then filled a bowl with it and called Lin Zhiqi in. She immediately sent it to Wei Xunyi and asked him to send it to the laboratory for testing to see if there was any difference from the previous food and whether it could also increase the combat power by 50%.
Lin Zhiqi hurriedly ran towards the central building with the dried meat.
An Qing didn't continue frying the dried meat. Seeing that Ye Yu had finished one pot, she immediately asked Bai Wei to come over and continue frying the next pot using the wok produced by the system.
She took Ye Yu into the kitchen to check the situation.
The second pot of rice for several people in the pot is still steaming and not yet cooked.
An Qing looked at the first pot of rice. It had been spread out and left to dry, and now it was cold.
An Qing took out the lard and put it in a pot to melt it. Then she handed it to Ye Yu and told her to pour it all into the pot of rice after it was completely melted.
Then he took out the oil residue made yesterday, crushed it one by one, sprinkled it into the cooled rice and mixed it well.
Then sprinkle some onion powder and mix it into the rice.
Soon, all the lard over there melted. Ye Yu came over with the pot and gently sprinkled it on the rice after An Qing tried it. An Qing immediately began to stir the rice with a spoon. Soon, the lard was on every grain of rice, making it shiny and fragrant.
An Qing brought over the soy sauce and sprinkled a layer of soy sauce on the rice. She didn't sprinkle much. She mixed it well first, then tested the taste, and then added soy sauce in appropriate amount according to the taste.
She scooped some for herself.
The aroma of lard and the salty and fresh taste of soy sauce are mixed together, and the crispy lard residue makes this pot of pork lard residue rice very delicious.
An Qing: "Ye Yu, go outside and call some more people from the Fiery Team to help make the rice balls. Don't make them too big this time, just half the size of the previous ones."
Ye Yu seemed a little worried, and was still worried about what had happened at the base.
An Qing called her twice before she came to her senses and went out to call for help.
The rice was brought to the restaurant lobby, and the fire brigade members who were called in were asked to wash their hands before they could start working.
It is very simple to make rice balls. Just try two and you will know how to make rice into a ball.
Although the rice is mixed with lard, the amount of lard is not much. It is mainly used to create a fragrance. After the lard is absorbed by the rice, the rice becomes sticky and can be kneaded into rice balls.
An Qing looked at the busyness in the hotel and looked outside.
At this time, some people were passing by the restaurant in a hurry. Even though the aroma of food in the restaurant was very strong, those who were rushing to gather did not bother to look at the restaurant for a second time.
An Qing pursed her lips. She wondered if the oil residue from the mutant beasts and the rice mixed with the oil could increase combat power by 50%...
At this time, someone hurried in at the door of the hotel.
It was Wei Xunyi who came over. He was obviously in a hurry. An Qing didn't expect him to come over. She walked over quickly and asked, "Has the jerky been sent to the lab?"
Wei Xunyi nodded. "It has been sent. When there is a result, President Jiang will have his assistant send the news back."
He glanced around and asked, "How many are available now?"
An Qing took him to the dried meat fried in the wok and said, "These are fried entirely in the wok. There's only one wok, so the speed really can't be fast."
Wei Xunyi responded and waved his hand. Someone came over carrying snow pigs, front rats, guinea fowl and cloud-haired sheep. He placed a board in the restaurant and piled all the mutant animals on it, soon forming a small hill.
"Time is tight, so I'll just bleed and skin her. I'll have someone come over to help you deal with the bones and internal organs later." Wei Xunyi looked at Tang Ming. "The entire base's special forces and outbound teams have assembled. You, Team Fiery, should stay put for now. Ensure An Qing's safety and don't leave her side unless absolutely necessary."
Tang Ming nodded: "Yes, I know."
Wei Xunyi nodded and looked at An Qing. "During this chaotic time at the base, there might be some people with poor mental and psychological conditions who might be provoked into causing trouble. Therefore, your safety is of paramount importance now. From now on, the Fiery Team will only be responsible for your safety. Don't let them do other things that distract them."
"As for the work in the hotel, I will arrange some people who cannot participate in the battle to come to the hotel to help." Obviously, Wei Xunyi came here in person just to remind An Qing these things.
An Qing's expression also grew serious. Not only in this world, but even in her own world, there were psychopaths who could suddenly explode and hurt people. She naturally understood the seriousness of what Wei Xunyi was talking about and immediately nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, I understand. However, I can't handle the current situation in the hotel by myself. I still need their help for a while before the people you arranged come over."
Wei Xunyi nodded: "I have asked someone to mobilize some people, and they will arrive at the hotel within half an hour at the latest."
