Chapter 084: Ghost Pepper Fried Pork
After leaving the planting base, An Qing took the ghost pepper and mutant rice back home. When passing by a restaurant, she took a piece of fat and lean pork belly from the restaurant.
After returning home, An Qing used 10,000,000 happiness points to purchase today's welfare product, toxin decomposition liquid.
She took out a basin, filled it with water, and dropped a drop of toxin decomposition liquid into it, then put the ghost pepper and snow pork in to soak.
"001, there shouldn't be 1000ml of toxins in these ghost peppers and pork belly, right?" After all, the ghost peppers and snow pork together probably only weigh about one pound.
001 emerged, lowering his head to look at the object soaked in water. "I'm not sure about that, but the toxins in plants and animals are all related to the amount of water they hold. Mutated plants have a higher water content, estimated at 80 to 90 percent. Mutated animal meat is estimated to have a water content of around 70 percent. So, the toxin content is indeed lighter than the weight..."
An Qing listened to it talk for a long time and summarized it in one sentence: "What I mean is, this drop of toxin decomposition liquid can eliminate the toxins in the snow pork and ghost pepper soaked in it, right?"
001 choked and nodded somewhat dejectedly, "That's right."
An Qing watched for a while, but couldn't see any changes to the pork and ghost peppers soaking in water. She tilted her head and asked, "So, how long does it take to completely decompose the poison?"
001: "Just soak it completely for two or three minutes."
An Qing nodded and said, "Then soak it for a while longer, four or five minutes. It's better to soak it for a longer time than for a shorter time and have toxins remain in the food."
"By the way, after soaking, does the water still have a detoxifying effect? Can it be reused?"
001: "If your little thing doesn't have only 900ml of poison, then this water can still decompose 100ml of poison."
An Qing: "..."
She looked at the black pearl rice. She didn't soak the rice with the meat and vegetables, as she felt that it would be contaminated with the smell of meat or chili peppers.
"001, is it okay if I drop a drop of toxin decomposition liquid directly into the water used to cook rice? If the amount of cold poison in the rice is less than 1000ml, will there be any problems if I eat it after cooking it?"
001: “…”
It said speechlessly: "Of course not, it can also help people eliminate toxins in their bodies."
An Qing: "Oh."
001 looked at someone as if he was mentally retarded, but she just wanted to confirm something more. For things like this, if she could get clarification, she would naturally ask for it.
The snow pork and ghost pepper were soaked to decompose the toxins. An Qing took the black pearl rice and washed it with water. After washing it carefully, she put it into the pot, added a drop of toxin decomposition liquid and started cooking.
She added too much water, just like she was stewing bones.
There was no way. She had never seen such a large piece of rice before, and she didn't know how much water was needed to cook it. Naturally, more water was better.
What's more, for such a big grain of rice, it doesn't matter whether it is dry or watery, as long as it is cooked.
An Qing covered the pot.
The water in the pot was bubbling and soon it boiled.
At this time, the snow pork and ghost peppers that An Qing had been soaking were also ready. She took out the snow pork and ghost peppers and started cutting vegetables with a kitchen knife.
Although the pots produced by the system are now used in restaurants, her family only has the pots made in the base, but she doesn't want to buy pots now and wants to accumulate happiness points faster.
An Qing skillfully cut the snow pork into thin slices with alternating fat and lean meat.
The ghost pepper looks big, but its skin is not thick. Instead, the seeds inside are very large. An Qing suspects that these seeds will be very hard and not tasty after being fried.
So she split the pepper in half, removed the seeds, and then cut the ghost pepper skin diagonally into diamond shapes for later use.
Stir-frying doesn’t take too long, but black pearl rice definitely takes a long time to cook, so An Qing didn’t start cooking immediately.
She went to wash her hands, looked at Muchen, and then looked at Tang Ming: "Tonight, you two can practice with me."
An Qing felt that she was getting carried away. She actually thought that Tang Ming could not pose any threat to her at all. With her current strength, she could easily fight two people at once.
I was eager to try it out and wanted to compete with them immediately.
Tang Ming nodded: "Okay."
Mu Chen naturally had no objection.
The rice was bubbling in the pot, and soon the white smoke coming out from the gap in the lid brought with it the rich aroma of rice.
An Qing took a breath. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but the aroma of the black pearl rice was better than the rice produced by the system, and it was also more appetizing.
She opened the lid of the pot and rubbed the rice with chopsticks.
The tip of the chopstick was immersed in the rice, and the outer third could be penetrated, but there was still a small piece in the middle that was still hard and could not be poked through.
There was still half of water left in the pot. An Qing didn't add any more water, but covered the pot and continued to cook.
She also started preparing to cook. She didn't know what the ginger and garlic in this world had mutated into. Maybe after the beast tide was over, she could go look for them in the dense forest.
There was no ginger or garlic, only ginger and garlic powder and ginger and garlic oil. An Qing poured a little rapeseed oil, a little ginger oil and some garlic oil into the pot, heated it up, and threw in a few peppercorns.
The aroma of ginger oil, garlic oil and peppercorns was immediately brought out, and An Qing then put the snow pork in and stir-fried it.
The meat slices are cut very thinly. As soon as they are put into the pan and wrapped in oil, a sizzling sound is made, and the meat slices begin to curl slightly, and a rich meaty aroma wafts out.
An Qing stir-fried it a few times, and when she felt it was almost done, she added the ghost pepper and stir-fried it.
Ghost peppers can emit irritating gas, but An Qing didn't feel any discomfort when cutting them. She didn't know if it was like this after being picked, or if it was because it was soaked in speed decomposition fluid.
Stir-frying it in the pan now actually brought back the aroma of the tender pork fried with peppers that I had eaten in my previous life, which was fragrant but not spicy.
Smelling this smell, An Qing's mouth began to secrete saliva continuously. Fortunately, she soon saw that the ghost pepper was fried soft.
Because she wasn't sure if it was ready, she used a spatula to scoop up a chili pepper and tasted it. It was cooked, but not very soft. It still retained the slightly crispy texture of the chili pepper itself, but it had no taste.
An Qing quickly turned down the heat, then added oyster sauce, light soy sauce, salt, and chicken essence for seasoning. After stir-frying evenly, she turned off the heat and served it on a plate.
Mu Chen hurried over to help carry the dishes over. He smelled the spicy pork and it was very fragrant. "I didn't expect that snow pork and ghost pepper mixed together could be so fragrant."
Tang Ming glanced at him and moved his lips, "An Qing said before..."
Mu Chen quickly made a silent gesture, looked at An Qing, and made sure she didn't hear before whispering, "Don't talk. Didn't you see she's forgotten? Don't make trouble for no reason!"
When he saw An Qing order three black pearl rice bowls, he guessed that there must be some for him and Tang Ming. Either An Qing had forgotten what she said in the morning, or she was no longer angry and pretended to forget.
No matter what the situation is, it’s better for both of them not to talk or remind each other for now.
Tang Ming: “…”
This Muchen is becoming more and more cunning in order to get food.
But he didn't say anything else. Rather than believing that An Qing had forgotten, he actually tended to believe that An Qing was just pretending to forget.
I guess I was in a good mood, so I didn't bother with them. Or maybe... I was preparing for tonight's training, so I fed them first...
The corners of Tang Ming's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but recall when An Qing asked him and Muchen to accompany her for training. Her eyes were bright and cunning, and her thoughts were completely revealed.
An Qing's hearing and eyesight are very sharp now. She couldn't hear Muchen and Tang Ming talking at such a loud volume before, but now she can hear them clearly.
She chuckled inwardly, pretended not to hear, and walked over naturally to open the lid of the pot to look at the black pearl rice inside.
The aroma of the rice in the pot became stronger, and when I poked it with chopsticks, it went straight through the rice.
An Qing went to get three bowls, scooped up the rice and said with a smile, "Wash your hands, it's time to eat."
Mu Chen and Tang Ming responded and went to wash their hands. Tang Ming brought over the chopsticks and An Qing pushed two bowls of rice to them.
Although there was only one grain of rice, it was nearly twice as large as before after being cooked, so much so that it was difficult to fit into the bowl. Although it fit in the bowl, the rice protruded a long way over the edge of the bowl.
An Qing smiled and said, "Eat, then we'll go to the training base after we've had a rest."
Even Muchen could sense the maliciousness in her smile.
He shrugged, looking unconcerned, but inwardly he was wary. After all, he had seen An Qing break the five-colored spider's legs today.
However, he has more combat experience than An Qing. Even if she becomes stronger, she cannot match him in terms of experience. As long as she is careful, it will not be a problem.
An Qing held the bowl and took a bite of the rice.
The texture is soft and chewy, just like rice. Although the black pearl rice is big, it is as delicate as the rice in the system.
Even if she ate it without any food, she could smell the aroma of rice. An Qing felt that she could finish the whole bowl of rice.
Most importantly, it smells so good!!
An Qing picked up a piece of fried meat with ghost pepper with her chopsticks. The thin slices of meat and the green ghost pepper were picked up together, which gave people a very delicious feeling visually.
Putting it into her mouth, An Qing squinted her eyes and enjoyed the delicious food that she had not eaten for a long time.
She has always liked stir-fried pork with green peppers, and has a high tolerance for various levels of spiciness. Different levels of spiciness give her different flavors.
This dish of stir-fried pork with green peppers was only very mildly spicy, almost not spicy at all for An Qing.
An Qing ate very happily, taking a bite of stir-fried pork with green peppers and a mouthful of rice. A grain of rice was really too big after being cooked. After An Qing had been transformed by the body-tempering spiritual liquid, her appetite had become much bigger, and one grain of rice was just enough to fill her up.
"Burp——" An Qing put down the bowl and chopsticks, feeling very satisfied.
Tang Ming also just put down his bowl and chopsticks, looking relaxed. It was obvious that he also liked the rice made from the mutant rice and the fried pork with ghost pepper.
On the other hand, Muchen next to him was laughing with his mouth open, his face slightly flushed. He had to eat two mouthfuls of rice and drink a few gulps of water before eating a bite of food.
An Qing: "..."
She looked at Mu Chen doubtfully: "Is it really that spicy?"
She felt that the spicy taste of the fried pork with chili was not really strong, only slightly stronger than the spicy instant noodles.
I think Muchen had tried hot and sour or spicy instant noodles before? I couldn't remember exactly whether I had tried it, but many people in the base had, and even if some people found it spicy, no one reacted as strongly as Muchen did.
The spiciness caused a layer of sweat on Mu Chen's forehead, his cheeks were red, and even his eye sockets were a little red. The spiciness brought tears to his eyes. Even after drinking water, he was still crying.
He nodded vigorously without saying anything, feeling like he was about to be unable to make a sound due to the spiciness.
An Qing: "Then you'd better not eat..."
Mu Chen hurriedly dragged the remaining ghost pepper fried pork over. Although it was really spicy, it tasted very good, and after the spicy stimulation, there was an unprecedented sense of relief.
Tang Ming looked at Mu Chen's condition and said with a smile, "Looking at his condition, I think he won't be able to train with you for a while. How about I train with you today?"
