After eating and drinking, it’s time to play games.
Bai Li took Supreme and lay down in the game cabin. The next second, his figure appeared in the game.
After leaving the hut, Bai Li first harvested all the ripe crops. After thinking for a while, he decided to plant the 20 strawberry seeds today.
The game time and real time are synchronized. It takes 8 hours for the strawberry seeds to mature. In this way, if nothing goes wrong, he will be able to eat fresh strawberries in the game early tomorrow morning.
It might be embarrassing to say this, but since he bought a 10-star-yuan first-charge gift package with Yaoxing last time, he has never spent a penny in the game. He has never touched the magical spring water or the fertilizer that can make crops grow taller and bigger. Perhaps, he, the creator of this game, is the one who spends the least money in the game?
Without the magical spring water, the crops cannot be accelerated, and they can only wait for time. Bai Li was not in a hurry. He enjoyed the process of farming, not the final result. Of course, as the god of agriculture, as long as the crops he planted were of good quality, they would not be of bad quality. The same was true in the game, but the effect was not as strong as in reality, which was the result of Bai Li's deliberate suppression.
There were 20 strawberry seeds in total, but Bai Li only had 18 plots of land. Bai Li could only create 3 new plots of land at the edge, right next to the fence. The 20 seeds were planted quickly. In order to avoid waste, Bai Li planted the longest-growing crop that he could plant at his level on the extra plot of land.
Potato seeds take 4 hours to mature.
In this way, today's farming task was almost completed. Bai Li, who had nothing to do, decided to stroll around the village, taking out a white flour bun and eating it slowly while walking.
While walking around, he discovered that the players seemed to have made other progress.
Village entrance.
A handsome boy set up a small stall not far from the NPC village chief. The stall was very simple, with an iron pot on a coal stove and a table next to it that seemed to be moved from home, on which were placed many of the cheapest plates in the village chief's store.
“Look, look, here we sell corn pancakes, the same delicacy as Monster Star Boss. Eat it and you will have the same good luck as him! It’s a new store and one portion is only 5 copper coins. Don’t miss it if you pass by~” Chu Qinglin, whose game name is “I See Qingshan”, feels that today is his highlight moment. He actually made golden corn pancakes!
Although the finished product he made the first time didn't look good and was mocked by other players when he posted it on the forum, he was not discouraged. He went back to the game and locked himself in the room to study it. During this period, he didn't know how many times he failed and how many failed products he ate.
But his hard work finally paid off. The corn pancakes he made tasted better and better, until half an hour ago, he made golden, perfectly round corn pancakes.
Looking at the finished product, Chu Qinglin knew that he had succeeded!
Put down the spatula and pick up the whole corn pancake. Ignoring the burn on the edge, I took a big bite. The fragrance of corn and the light sweetness in my mouth were so delicious! In addition, this is a super thick filter made by myself. Chu Qinglin thinks this is the most delicious corn pancake in the world!
After finishing the whole thing, Chu Qinglin reviewed the movements and proportions of the ingredients for making the last corn pancake. After making sure he had memorized everything, he put all the tools into his backpack and fished out the small table in the room. Let's go and set up a stall!
He wanted to let those players who laughed at him see that he, Wo Jian Qing Shan, was the best in the game! Who else could make the food that everyone longed for in just one day like him? ?
This is the huge potential of foodies.
He chose the location of his stall at the entrance of the village where the flow of people was the heaviest. After shouting loudly for a few minutes, he attracted about ten players, who rushed up and surrounded the stall.
"What, you can make corn cakes, is that true?" A curious person questioned loudly and cast a distrustful look at Chu Qinglin.
Chu Qinglin puffed out his chest and put his hands on his hips: "Of course it's real. The last one doesn't count. This time, I can guarantee that even if it's not 100% similar to what Monster Star made, it can reach 70% or 80%!"
This sentence accidentally exposed his identity. Among the onlookers, there happened to be a player who had seen the post and immediately jumped out: "Are you the one who posted on the forum? I have seen the photo, it is pitch black, and this can be called corn cake? Everyone, listen to me, don't be fooled into buying his corn cake, whoever buys it will regret it!"
Chu Qinglin was so angry that his face puffed up: "Brother, don't say anything nonsense. Things are different now. I am no longer the same person I was a few hours ago. My skill in making corn pancakes has long been raised to the highest level. I will never make it like that again! Besides, even if it is like that, it actually tastes good, it just doesn't look very good!"
"Hey, you're still excited after I said a few words to you? Boy, don't think I have a good temper now. In the past, I could have knocked down five pretty boys like you with one punch!" The man showed everyone the muscular arms and continued, "Why are you still standing there? Put away your stall quickly. It's not a good habit to cheat people out of money at such a young age. You should go back to farming honestly."
Chu Qinglin was so angry that he was shaking with distrust, but he realized that no matter how much he said now, it would be useless. Those who didn't believe would never believe it, unless... he proved it to these people with actual actions.
Chu Qinglin had an idea and ignored the crowd, and started to work on his own. As he said, he was very skilled in making corn cakes. He poured the cooked corn kernels coated with starch into a pan with a shallow layer of hot oil in a short while, and then flattened them slightly with a spatula, forming a perfect round shape.
Then all I had to do was wait.
The pot handle was picked up with one hand and slowly swung above the fire. The expression on Chu Qinglin's face was that he was confident, as if he had already predicted what the result would be before the finished product came out.
The man who had quarreled with him before, seeing that Chu Qinglin not only did not listen to his advice, but also did it on the spot, was a little angry, and rolled up his sleeves to fight him. But as he walked forward, he noticed the seriousness on Chu Qinglin's face, was stunned, and slowed down his pace.
When he walked to the front of the stall, he crossed his arms and watched seriously. He wanted to see what this young kid could make!
The other onlookers gradually stopped talking and looked at the pot quietly. One or two of them rolled their eyes a few times and sneaked into the innermost part of the encirclement while no one was paying attention. They had already hidden five copper coins in their palms, waiting for the perfect product to come out, and they would be the first to grab it no matter what.
Under such high expectations, the first pot of corn pancakes was completed. Chu Qinglin placed the finished product on a plate on the table. It was golden, round, and exuded a charming fragrance. It was simply everyone's dream pancake.
It’s true!
The corn pancakes are real!
Chu Qinglin looked at the stunned crowd with a hint of pride.
“This…” The man who wanted to beat Chu Qinglin at first was speechless. He looked at the plate of fragrant corn cakes with greed and apologized decisively. “I’m sorry, little brother. I was too impulsive. I shouldn’t have said that to you. I even wanted to chase you away just now. I’m really… such a jerk! Fortunately, you didn’t leave, otherwise we wouldn’t see such perfect corn cakes coming out of the pot. How about this? In order to make amends, I will spend 100 copper coins to buy your plate of corn cakes. This is all I have. Don’t think it’s too little, hehe…”
As he was smiling innocently, the man was pushed away by the people behind him.
"Go away, go away. Don't think we don't know what you're thinking. You just want to buy this plate of corn cakes, but you're still talking so much nonsense. Don't be fooled by him, little brother! It's just 100 copper coins, don't act like anyone has them..."
As he spoke, he began to take money out of his backpack.
Chu Qinglin quickly stopped the man and said, "No, no, 100 copper coins is too much. I told you before that a corn pancake will only cost 5 copper coins for the opening of the new store. If I continue to sell it tomorrow, I will restore the original price of 10 copper coins. You have all seen the corn pancakes I made, right? Are you sure they are edible? If you want to buy some, you can line up now."
Seeing that Chu Qinglin did not take advantage of the previous dispute and was doing business seriously, the onlookers praised the young boss for his magnanimity and quickly formed a long queue.
The name of the player who had an argument with Chu Qinglin was "You Jin Ye". He looked embarrassed and ashamed. When Chu Qinglin nodded to him calmly, the guilty look on his face became more intense.
Uncle Jin wanted to leave immediately, but he couldn't bear to leave the corn cake he had been thinking about so much. After some hesitation, he finally decided to stay. He quickly lined up at the end of the line while no more people were coming.
Your Grandpa Jin thought, when it’s his turn later, he will have to apologize to the boss again, and then... buy ten corn cakes to eat slowly!
The first customer had already started eating the corn pancake, and the people in the queue behind him pulled him aside and asked him repeatedly how it tasted.
"Woohoo! Delicious, so delicious! So this is what corn pancakes taste like, fragrant, sweet, and crunchy. I have never eaten anything so delicious, I will die with no regrets woohoo!"
Taking advantage of the fact that no one in the game knew him, the customer cried and howled while eating. In less than a minute, he ate all the corn cakes he bought. He looked at his empty hands with grease stains and was dumbfounded.
Where is my corn cake? Where is my corn cake that big?
Oh, so I ate it all. It’s okay then.
Licking his lips, he ran to the end of the line and queued up again, regretting in his heart why he forgot to buy a few more at once.
I regret it now, very much.
When Bai Li passed by, Chu Qinglin's business was already in full swing. A player recognized Bai Li as the first lucky player to eat the corn cake made by Yao Xing himself, and waved to him enthusiastically. When Bai Li approached, he pointed at the unfinished corn cake in Chu Qinglin's pot and asked him if it was the same as the one he had eaten at that time.
"It looks quite similar." Bai Li observed carefully and praised the somewhat nervous Chu Qinglin earnestly, "You are amazing. You can make corn pancakes without a recipe. It seems you are very talented."
The other party didn't blame him for stealing the method of making corn cakes and even sold them! Chu Qinglin felt relieved and looked much more relaxed. He smiled gratefully at Bai Li and handed the freshly made corn cake to Bai Li without hesitation.
"Thank you. I'll treat you to some corn pancakes!" After saying that, she stuffed the plate into Bai Li's hands without waiting for Bai Li to speak.
Seeing this, the player at the head of the line who was about to get his turn was dissatisfied: "Hey, boss, it's my turn now, why did you give the corn that should have been given to me to this guy?"
Normally, the player's temper would not be so easy to deal with. But today, on the one hand, he had already queued up once to eat corn pancakes, and the sweet taste had slightly calmed his emotions, so he would not get angry easily. On the other hand, the player swore with his keen sixth sense that the guy who just walked over had a strange aura around him, and he always felt that he was a bit difficult to mess with.
Maybe he is a hidden boss, and I can seek help from him if I encounter difficulties in the game in the future!
Because of these two reasons, the player's attitude was much softer than expected. Even Chu Qinglin looked over in surprise, thinking, are people so easy to talk to now? A little gentler.
He apologized, "I'm sorry, big brother. I didn't think so much. I treated Li Bai to corn pancakes to thank him. How about this? When I close the stall, I'll make another corn pancake for you?"
He didn't say the specific content of his thanks, but those who understood will understand.
Of course it was good to get a corn cake for free, so the player agreed without much hesitation.
Chu Qinglin had already mastered the speed of making corn pancakes, and soon made a second serving of corn pancakes and handed them to the player. The player paid for the corn pancakes and ate them beside them, waiting for Chu Qinglin to close the stall.
Now, Bai Li couldn't return the corn cake in his hand. He thanked Chu Qinglin for his kindness, said he had something to do, and left the crowd. Before leaving, he glanced in the direction of the NPC village chief.
After Bai Li left, the village chief slowly walked to the stall and said to Chu Qinglin, "I didn't expect you to have such a high talent for cooking. I have a recipe here that I found when I was young. It's called 'Potato and Carrot Shredded Egg Pancake'. I'll give it to you. I hope you can make more mouth-watering delicacies in the future."
After saying that, he handed over a piece of paper and a bag of five portions of raw materials.
Chu Qinglin was stunned.
He was shocked at first, then he couldn't believe it, and finally he was in ecstasy. With shaking hands, he took the recipe from the village chief and learned it without thinking. Then he carefully put the bag of ingredients into his backpack, and took a quick glance to find that there were eggs in it.
Hmm, the kind with a hard shell and a sticky liquid and a strange fishy smell inside when you crack it open... eggs?
Chu Qinglin shook his head vigorously to get rid of his initial thoughts about the eggs. He believed that the game products must be high-quality, and the eggs given by the village chief would definitely not be like that.
The other players nearby were obviously more stimulated than Chu Qinglin. After they realized what was happening, they all showed envy and jealousy on their faces, and almost stepped forward to stop Chu Qinglin from learning the recipe. After watching Chu Qinglin learn the recipe, they set their sights on the potato and carrot omelet, which was nowhere to be found, and enthusiastically expressed their desire to pre-order the finished product, and they were willing to buy it no matter how much it cost!
Chu Qinglin backed away repeatedly, holding onto his backpack, shaking his head like a rattle: "No! No! I won't sell this egg pancake for now. I'll sell it later when I have the conditions!"
Are you kidding? There are no eggs in the game now. Once these five eggs are used up, there will be no new ones. And five servings of egg pancakes are not enough for him to eat, so how could he be so desperate as to sell them?
Absolutely not!
After that, no matter how the players tempted him, Chu Qinglin gritted his teeth and refused to give in. He waited until the last pot of corn cakes was sold out before he closed up his stall and went home under tremendous pressure.
What he didn't know was that this incident, which seemed like a chance encounter, in which he got a recipe from the village chief by just setting up a stall, was posted on the forum by the quick-handed players. After seeing it, the quick-witted players took action...
Neither Chu Qinglin nor Bai Li could have imagined such a development.
Wen Xingyao started playing the game late today.
When his consciousness reconnected to the Star Network, he did not rush to log into the game, but chose to contact his adjutant Tang Ying first.
Tang Ying happened to be online, and replied quickly after receiving the message. The two agreed to meet in the game and successfully met five minutes later.
"Admiral, I finally see you!" In an empty corner, Tang Ying looked at Wen Xingyao with tears in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs.
God knows how long he has been waiting for this day, but it’s great to see the admiral again!
"It's okay. I'm fine, right?" Wen Xingyao patted his subordinate's shoulder calmly.
The two of them got familiar with each other's new faces and then introduced themselves to each other's game names.
"Admiral, my name in the game is 'Easy Winning Life', you can just call me Easy Win in the future." Tang Ying said happily. He felt that his name was very good and the admiral would definitely praise him after hearing it.
Hearing this, Wen Xingyao raised his eyebrows: "My name is 'Yao Xing'. From now on, just call me by this name in the game. Don't say those two words anymore."
"Oh... Monster Star..." Tang Ying was still immersed in the joy of finding the admiral, but suddenly realized something was wrong, "W-what? You are the Monster Star?"
If he remembered correctly, wasn't Yaoxing the mysterious boss who got the recipe from the village chief and was the first to make corn pancakes?
They had discussed it at the time, and he thought the name sounded strangely familiar.
It turns out it wasn't his illusion.
The look he gave Wen Xingyao suddenly became strange.
I can't believe it, I really can't believe it, Admiral, not only can you fight monsters, drive mechas, and train your soldiers to scream, but you can also cook soup!
Do you have any surprises that we don’t know about?!
