She won't make seaweed rice rolls today. Seaweed rice rolls only increase health points. She wants to try out how different foods increase health points and how other things like stamina increase health points.
She suspected it was related to the food she made, but she needed to experiment to be sure. She found a little yeast and some low-quality flour in a corner of the lord's warehouse. Seeing that it was still usable, she decided to use the orcs' power to grind the rice into a paste and make rice cakes!
However, she lacked sugar and other essential ingredients, so she could only manage to make a rice cake that wasn't very sweet, barely edible. For people in the wasteland, these things were hardly a concern.
After mixing the rice into a paste, she added a little flour and yeast to ferment it, then mixed it again. Finally, she divided it into small boxes and steamed them, resulting in white rice cakes. Because the flour wasn't very good, they were a bit yellowish, but the texture was that of rice cakes.
[Beep beep beep~ Finished rice cake, average quality, zero-pollution food, stamina +2]
The seaweed rice rolls I made before gave me +5 health because I used store-bought ingredients. This time, only the rice was good; the rest were leftovers from the warehouse, so they only gave me +2 health.
The staple food she makes increases her health points, and the cakes she makes increase her stamina. The number of points that increase health points and stamina depends on the quality of the ingredients she uses!
Based on this, it can be inferred that if she makes mixed grains, steamed buns, dumplings, pancakes, etc., it will increase her stamina, while making staple foods, rice balls, vegetable porridge, or other staple food-related foods will increase her health.
However, all of this remains to be investigated!
After learning that Qin Yiyi was a culinary master, Flamingo stopped letting Sid deliver her food and started fetching it herself.
I saw this rice cake today.
She was a little surprised.
"What's this?"
Qin Yiyi glanced at the flamingo with disdain.
"Rice cake! It can be eaten cold, and it's more convenient to carry than rice!" Qin Yiyi rarely gave these people a lesson on pastries. Rice cake is just a very common type. Many people eat it for breakfast, and some people buy it to eat when they are hungry. If you don't care about the texture, it can indeed be eaten cold. It won't be hard, and it's soft and chewy when you tear it open.
Flamingo took the rice cake back and couldn't wait to try a bite herself.
"The texture isn't as good as seaweed rice rolls!" It also doesn't seem to have as much filling as seaweed rice rolls.
However, seaweed rice rolls fall apart easily with a gentle poke, while rice cakes can still be eaten after being squeezed.
"This one increases stamina!" The black and white whale's eyes lit up.
While it doesn't increase health as much, this portable rice cake can be carried around and eaten cold, and it increases stamina, so isn't that...?
He and the flamingo exchanged a glance.
"In the City of Mist, too many orcs often collapse from exhaustion. If only this rice cake could help them..."
!!
It will increase people's chances of survival!
"After eating two, I felt my energy gradually returning!"
"The effect wasn't much with just two, but after eating three rice cakes (three per person), I felt the difference much more. This... is a good thing!"
"Brother, what if we used this rice cake on our mercenary group!"
The black and white whales and the flamingos smiled at each other.
They all share this idea!
Being able to make two different kinds of food, each with a different attribute boost—one increasing health and the other increasing stamina—already puts them far ahead of the high-ranking culinary masters in the numbered bases and the main city!
After all, most people can only make one type of food and can only add one or two attributes. This is still the case for a veteran culinary master.
Look at that delicate young girl, she's already so accomplished at such a young age...
The black and white whale made a major decision.
"Mercenary groups choose to relocate their main base every year, so let's set up here this year!"
The flamingo was somewhat surprised.
"Brother! This is just a small village..."
Black and white whales are bold enough to take on risky situations!
"Didn't you hear them say that this little girl just took over this territory? As long as she's here, how can this small village not grow bigger! If we wait until it grows bigger and stronger, we won't be able to get in!"
"And then..."
The black and white whale's expression darkened as it recalled the past.
"The taxes demanded by the numbered bases and the main city are too high. Not only are the taxes high, but the prices of all kinds of food are also high. They also require mercenary groups to take turns guarding the desert every day. This is just a series of exploitations. We simply can't afford to support the mercenary groups with the money we have!"
This was indeed a big problem, so their mercenary group split up to try and get more business, but they never expected that getting a stripping machine would almost cost their brother his life!
But this time she was lucky. If she hadn't gone on this mission, she would never have met the lord of this small village!
To witness such superb cooking skills!
"Brother, I support you!" She firmly chose to stand with her brother.
"only..."
Black and White Whale chuckled self-deprecatingly: "But you also know that the people in the team might not necessarily come here with us, right?"
The flamingos did not speak.
"It's alright, everyone has their own choices. Our mercenary group had been showing signs of breaking up for a long time, and it's not just because of this!"
"elder brother!"
Flamingo couldn't bring herself to say it. The brothers in the mercenary group had all been with her for at least three years, and they all had feelings for each other, but they were on different paths and couldn't work together.
They've become too materialistic!
While the two were discussing, Qin Yiyi's still arrogant voice rang out from outside.
"Line up and get your own containers! Two ounces each, no more allowed, but of course we won't give you less!"
"Every household has a fire extinguisher, right? With water and a fire extinguisher, you can cook rice in a basin. Let me tell you, if anyone faints from exhaustion, I will fire them and make them watch others work and eat!"
She was genuinely afraid that these frugal people would stop eating and faint on the ground, making it difficult for her to save them. In addition, if they didn't eat, they wouldn't have a good body, and without a good body, they wouldn't be able to work properly for her!
She emphasized again, "You must all be in good health to work for me! If you don't, I will fire you and isolate you! Do you all understand?"
"Understood, Lord! We fully support your decision!"
I originally thought that the slave chief would embezzle one ounce out of every two ounces of rice, but to my surprise, the three slave chiefs didn't embezzle anything at all. Instead, they diligently asked everyone.
"See that? This is just the tip of the iceberg. I may be a novice slave leader, but I will never oppress a slave!"
