Chapter 066 We Want to Go Down the Mountain
The audience in the live broadcast room and the villagers who had already found their seats to watch the excitement all lit up their eyes and exclaimed "Wow!"
The villagers once again followed their instinct and began to applaud and cheer!
Lu Xuan: “…” I told you it’s not a circus.
The speed of processing rice and flour is faster than mincing meat. Under his control, the refined rice and rice bran in the box are directly divided into two layers. The rice bran and wheat bran on the upper layer are poured out, and the lower layer is refined rice and flour without a trace of impurities.
Because of the extremely high level of precision in the operation, the newly processed rice and flour ensure their integrity and nutritional content to the greatest extent. The grains are plump and look shiny. They are priced according to the highest quality in any grain store.
More than 3,000 kilograms of rice and flour were processed in the blink of an eye. The speed was so fast that the audience in the live broadcast room and the villagers were left wanting more. They felt that they had not seen enough.
Because the loss rate was reduced to a minimum, a total of 2,800 kilograms of refined rice and flour were produced, and the rice bran and wheat bran added up to about 300 kilograms.
There is no need to worry about wasting rice bran and wheat bran. The former can be extracted into rice bran oil for cooking, and the latter can be used to make various pasta. The taste is not as delicate as that made from refined flour, but the taste is not bad.
The rice bran residue left over from oil refining can actually be eaten, but the Lu family is not short of food, so they only plan to keep the rice bran residue as fertilizer or feed.
While Lu Xuan was processing the coarse grains, Lu Qing and other female relatives had already made preparations in advance as usual - making the fillings.
The meat filling was prepared yesterday. Today, I mainly dice and mince the cabbage, mushrooms, green onions, leeks, fried eggs, fish and other ingredients, and mix them with the meat filling and other ingredients separately.
In addition to the salty ones, there are three kinds of sweet ones, namely brown sugar filling, red bean paste filling, and jujube paste filling.
This means that today the air is filled with not only the aroma of meat, but also a rich sweet aroma that can make your teeth fall off.
As soon as the three fillings were ready, the audience started eating without Lu Xuan even asking them to do so.
It’s sweet and smells so good!
The filling is ready, now it’s time to get started.
The first things to make are spring rolls, pies, dumplings, and wontons, which do not require dough to be fermented. After the dough is fermented, the next things to make are steamed buns, flower rolls, fried dough sticks, etc.
The above are pasta dishes, while rice products are mainly porridge and rice.
There are plain rice, meat fried rice and vegetable fried rice with various ingredients.
You also need to make some rice balls and rice crusts.
There are even more types of porridge, including meat porridge, mushroom porridge, fish porridge, egg porridge, vegetable porridge, red bean porridge, and mung bean porridge.
The audience slurped up the rice and porridge frantically, sighing, "Ancient people really knew how to enjoy life. They made even the porridge and rice into something special."
I've got a great idea! Could we use the ancient method of making porridge and process the nutritional supplements? Wouldn't that improve the taste of the nutritional supplements? So, we can finally have natural rice porridge.
[…What a clever rounding! You’re so clever!]
[? ? Is this a scolding or a compliment?]
[Kua kua kua! It's too difficult to get natural rice and flour, but if it's just some vegetables or mushrooms, you can definitely try and get a pound or two. Put a little bit in each nutritional supplement, and it's enough for several meals.]
【!! Why didn't I think of this before! Starting tomorrow I'll be waiting at the Star Alliance Mall to grab some food!】
Because it takes time to wrap dumplings and buns, Lu Qing asked more female relatives to help with the fillings.
The women in the village cook these foods and wrap them up very quickly. The older they get, the faster they are. This is all due to the experience they have accumulated over the years.
Seeing that there was no place for his skills, Lu Xuan simply turned to Liu Daxixi to help make tofu.
He can still use his special ability to grind beans.
In the midst of the busyness, someone came up to ask Lu Xuan what he had been doing last night.
Zhang Chengming, who had been feeling hot all night because of eating wolf meat the day before, even wondered if he had gone to the woods. Ahem... those who understand understand.
Lu Xuan gave him a cold look and said, "I just got a big new thing from the gods yesterday, and I found a place to take it out and take a look at it."
The audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter, and then sighed.
For some reason, they always felt that although Lu Xuan, the anchor, was powerful, he seemed to have nothing to do with worldly desires.
When Su Ying flirted with him, Lu Xuan didn't take the bait, and he didn't even glance at her. He was completely unlike a normal man.
The audience secretly speculated that the anchor might be asexual.
While they were running wildly on the road of random imagination for who knows how many light years, in reality, Zhang Chengming and others couldn't help but envy them.
The gods actually gave Lu Xuan another good thing?
The gods are so good to him!
But what kind of big thing, or how big of a thing could make such a loud noise that even the ground shook?
Lu Xuan: “…”
That’s huge, a whole villa.
Lu Xuan glanced at the curious villagers and said, "I'll show it to you when I have the chance."
Someone wanted to suggest that we take it out now, but when the words were on the tip of their tongues, they suddenly remembered the villagers who were frightened last night and changed their words, saying, "Then it's a deal. You must show it to us when you have the chance to broaden our horizons!"
While the Lu family was bustling with activity, some people's attention was not on them. Instead, they gathered together and whispered something, and then found Li Tie who had returned to the big cave to cool off.
One of them stood up as a representative and said to Li Tie with a serious expression: "Village Chief, we want to go down the mountain!"
"Ahem..." Li Tie, who was looking through the public property accounts with his pipe in hand, choked on the smoke and looked at the people in front of him in surprise. "What did you say? Go down the mountain? Why would you go down the mountain?"
Zhou Yunshan said with a sullen face, "We want to go down the mountain to see if we can find our married daughter."
Li Tie opened his mouth, looked at the people who came over, and was speechless for a moment.
There are more than 40 households in Yunlu Village, and there are seven households whose wives have married out. In addition to their family and the Tofu Liu family, there are five other families, and the people in front of them are from these five families.
The Liu family didn't come because before the disaster, Liu Heshi detained her and her grandson despite her daughter's objections.
After the earthquake, the Liu family became the only family with daughters who married out to be reunited.
Every time his wife saw Liu Yu, she would regret why she didn't force A Yue to stay.
Li Tie himself also regrets it.
He took two puffs of his cigarette in silence, and after a long while he said, "Have you thought it through? Do you really want to go? Those villages might have been swallowed up by the earthquake just like ours, leaving nothing behind. Even if you go looking for them, you might not get any good results.
Li Tie sighed. "I don't know what's happening down there, but with earthquakes and extreme heat coming one after another, the world is definitely in chaos. Regardless of whether you can find anyone or not, if you do encounter other disaster victims, your own safety might not be guaranteed. Even if you run into any danger, the villagers won't be able to rush over to help."
Zhou Yunshan nodded and said, "We've thought about all this, but how can we know the outcome if we don't try? Didn't everyone in our village survive? We warned the surrounding villages at the time, and perhaps some people also fled to the mountains and survived like us."
Another villager nearby said, "If I hadn't gone to look for her last time, she would have been always thinking about her and couldn't sleep well. My husband dreamed of his daughter crying for help with blood all over her face..."
The others couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
Li Tie reminded him, "It's getting hotter and hotter now. Without the shade of the trees at the foot of the mountain, it will only get hotter..."
Zhou Yunshan: "We will bring some extra ice packs. Lao Zhao's son is on the hunting team and has changed into a biological suit. If the heat gets too much, he can change into it. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Old Zhao nodded.
Zhou Yunshan thought about the Li family's situation and said, "Village Chief, your Li Yue..."
Li Tie paused for a moment, "My family doesn't plan to look for anyone. If she gets into an accident, it's just her bad luck."
Everyone looked at each other in silence for a moment.
After a moment, a thin middle-aged man who had been silent the whole time said, "Then can we go ask Lu Xuan to go with us? He's very strong, and the chances of finding the person will be higher with him."
"No!" Li Tie, who had been acting calm, suddenly frowned. "Lu Xuan doesn't have any sisters who are married out, so why should he go? Go ask the other villagers if they agree."
Although Lu Xuan has always seemed reluctant to take on responsibilities, his extensive help to the village has long made him the backbone of everyone.
Whether Lu Xuan is there or not is two completely different feelings.
This is also the reason why he was nervous last night when he thought there was an earthquake but found out that Lu Xuan was missing.
While others were amazed at Lu Xuan's increasingly powerful strength, he was secretly worried that the gods might like Lu Xuan so much that they would take him away one day and make it impossible for them to find him.
Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding last night.
Li Tie warned in a stern tone, "If you want to go find someone, go ahead. I won't stop you, but don't disturb Lu Xuan. Don't think I'm selfish. As the village chief, I have an obligation to protect more people. I can't just ignore the wishes of the rest of the village for your family."
Not only did he stop them from looking for Lu Xuan, he himself had no intention of testing Lu Xuan's intentions.
He also didn't ask them to help him keep an eye on Li Yue's whereabouts when the time comes. He didn't have the nerve to do that.
Part of the reason was that he didn't think they would gain anything from this trip.
"We understand what you mean. We'll find it ourselves." Zhou Yunshan nodded in understanding. "Then let's go pack up and set off as soon as possible while it's still early."
Several people quickly left the village chief's house.
After going out, Zhou Yunshan asked the others to pack their luggage quickly, and then he and Lao Zhao got together to discuss how much dry food and water to bring.
The two of them didn't notice for a moment that two villagers exchanged glances with each other. Not only did they not return to their own curtained houses, they also ignored the village chief's warning and left the big cave to find Lu Xuan.
