Chapter 563: Face the Wind
Jingshu waved her hand: "No need to go through so much trouble. You don't have to kill it. Just watch it. From now on, just say this to it: face the gale. That's it. This is the order from the breeder." Xiaowei still has a childlike heart.
Jingshu walked up to a giant gastropod and said to it, "Face the wind."
Thus, a shocking scene began.
After being offline for a few seconds, the ferocious insect raised its huge pincers as if it had received an order. With a few clicks, it cut off all its legs from the roots, as if it felt no pain. Then, with a few more clicks, it cut its huge body into several pieces with the pincers, until finally, the pincers fell down unwillingly and could no longer move.
The stimulation of its nerves made it continue to click even after death. Its eyes, as big as fists, looked at everyone blankly and indifferently. It never closed its eyes until its death, leaving behind a silent and eerie scene.
"Although the pieces of meat are still quite large, they're much easier to handle this way. Just have the chefs put the pieces of meat, shell and all, into a meat grinder and grind them into patties. Finally, add soil, flour, and salt in a ratio of 10:1:1%. And don't miss the insect heads either; both the eyes and the brain yellow are delicious!"
Jingshu waved her hand and saw that just as Xiaowei said, these insects knew how to commit suicide. Not only that, they also knew how to dismember themselves neatly, which saved a lot of trouble.
"Oh, I've never seen such convenient food. It can travel a long distance from the deep mountains to the trading place, and can be slaughtered and processed by itself. If necessary, Xiaowei can increase the production volume. The insects still have soil to eat now, but next year they will only have snow to eat. The most important thing is that the cost of these insects is lower than that of my red nematodes." Jingshu touched her chin and thought, completely unaware of the people behind her who had dropped their jaws in shock.
"Bull, bull!"
"sharp!"
"What the hell is this? There are such self-conscious foods."
Seeing the chefs' stunned expressions, Xiaocai stamped his feet in frustration, "Why don't you quickly record the food you tested? What are you standing there for? Hurry up!"
The chefs finally came to their senses and weighed the scraps of meat and insects on the ground one by one, shouting, "Total 428 kilograms!"
"One is only this heavy. It will last me a long time."
“This food is reliable.”
Even Qian Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief. It was a little more than he had imagined!
Then they quickly threw the gastropod meat into the meat chopper. Qian Duoduo, along with a group of shareholders, looked at the chefs who were busy preparing the insect meat, then at the army of insects who were staying there obediently, and then at Jingshu who was always eating something in her mouth. They were very moved at the same time and hoped that this test could be passed, as this would save the second phase of the Stone Garden!
A dozen chefs were busy testing how much food a bug could produce. Soon the exciting moment arrived. The chefs rolled out rice buckets half the height of a person. Xiaocai excitedly said:
"After our tests, we found that one worm, after being minced and mixed with soil and a small amount of flour, can produce about 800 kilograms of stuffing, which can be made into ready-made wet cakes without any loss. Assuming that each person consumes at least 200 grams per day, it can feed 4,000 people.
If dried and stored as cakes, it would only weigh about 700 kilograms, and if soaked in water and made into porridge, it could save 6,000 people.
Xiaocai personally took a pie of insect meat and soil that he had made on the spot and handed it to everyone to try:
"That means one worm can feed 4,000 people. Just 13 worms a day, combined with soil and flour, can basically feed 50,000 people... How about trying this first? It's quite fishy, but also a bit salty. It's a bit off when eaten wet, but I think it would be better if made into pancakes with a nice crunch."
Jingshu had already figured it out and was smiling on the side, but she didn't expect Xiaocai to be even more cruel than her. He only gave 200 grams of food to each person every day, and it was a cake with a lot of soil added. It was definitely not enough to eat enough. However, in this era, eating enough was unthinkable. It was good enough to have food to eat and to be alive. In her previous life,
If she could have 200 grams of food every day, she would probably wake up laughing.
According to this algorithm, 390 insects combined with a large amount of soil in a month can just feed so many people. But you have to know that the food source is not just this. A complete reward and punishment system is also needed. Not only insect meat, but also promises, and rice and steamed buns are hung in front of them. Otherwise, these people rely on the minimum living allowance to eat and not work every day. How can the stone garden operate and how can it generate benefits?
So it seems that the agreement between her and Xiaowei is that they must produce more insects, not only to feed the 50,000 people in Shiyuan, but also to store a batch.
Some shareholders were curious and carefully tasted a piece of meat as small as a fingernail, and immediately vomited it out.
"It's so disgusting, even worse than pig food!"
"Ugh! My chickens won't eat such disgusting food!"
A strong fishy smell filled the air. Some shareholders covered their noses, disgusted by the food that was worse than pig food. However, Jingshu stepped forward, picked up a piece, put it in her mouth, chewed it, and savored it carefully.
Food that is salty, rich in protein, meets the body's minimum needs, and can keep people alive.
very good.
Even though it tasted bad, after ten years of experiencing the apocalypse, she had already developed the habit of not wasting any food, so she swallowed it all. "It doesn't taste as good as red nematode cakes, but it's much better than carrion worms. Those are truly hard to swallow. Being able to eat and stay alive instead of starving to death is probably the best thing I can do for you."
Jingshu pondered silently, unaware that Qian Duoduo squinted his eyes and said, "No matter how bad it tastes, it's still food, and it can save lives!" Qian Duoduo also ate a large piece, nodding continuously, and instructed, "Follow this ratio. Salt is precious but it is essential for the body. If it's any less, you won't be able to taste it."
Jingshu smiled. No matter why Qian Duoduo did this, anyone who could do what he did must be very capable.
"Alright, let's make all these bugs into pies first. Half of them will be baked into earthworm cakes, and the other half will be made into wet cakes. We'll be ready to accept a large number of people into the second phase of the Stone Garden in the next few days."
Someone asked, "Are you starting preparations so early? Can this... be accomplished?"
"The sooner the better. Zhengfu is eager to reduce their burden. I believe that anyone who is not stupid will agree to this deal. Okay, let's disperse. Jingshu, let's go to Zhengfu."
After confirming the matters here, Qian Duoduo immediately took Jingshu to Zhengfu to discuss the matter in person.
