Chapter 543: Bandits Appear (4)
Zhong Qingwei didn’t quite understand any of this, but he just listened to what Shu Lingyi said and did it.
The first choice is definitely to catch the hens, and then catch a few roosters in very good spirits to serve as breeding hens.
They caught a few of each, and also caught some chicks that looked like they had just been released from the cage.
After catching them, Shu Ling handed all the things in his hand to his old father.
At this time, Jiang Wang had just received a litter of white jade rabbits from Cui Yuyuan. The litter consisted of a mother rabbit and five newly born white jade rabbits.
Before I even figured it out, my good daughter sent me some chicken and firewood branches.
There were three or four chickens in the exquisite intermediate bamboo cage, all of which were level four. They were teleported here rashly, and each of them was staring at Jiang Wang fiercely.
"What a good girl! She's afraid that I'll be too busy to come here."
Jiang Wang smiled helplessly, but she was his daughter after all, so what else could he do - just spoil her.
After taking care of the chickens along the way, Shu Ling and his companions continued walking up the mountainside.
It was dusk, the sunset was gorgeous, I turned on the weather forecast and saw it was almost six o'clock.
Now it is the beginning of summer, and the time of darkness has come earlier, around seven o'clock.
The weather was still good at six o'clock, but it might take another hour or two to finish the climb.
It would take another hour to go down the mountain and return, and it would be very late by then.
"If we continue to go up, it will probably be past nine o'clock when we return. Comrade Yi Yi, are you sure you want to continue going up?"
Because it was the first day of the solar term, the two of them were unsure what would happen when it got dark.
Zhong Qingwei was a little worried, but Shu Lingyi felt that since they were already here, the day wasn't particularly dark.
"Don't panic. Nothing serious will happen in the territory. Even if something unexpected happens on the first day, it won't kill us. Let's explore it all in one go today."
Zhong Qingwei also thought this was true. With their combined strength, nothing serious would happen.
The two of them ate some cakes and fruits to replenish their stomachs and drank some water.
However, they did not see any chickens on the way up, which gave the two of them some time to relax.
We walked all the way to the top of the mountain and didn't see any monsters, but the sky was getting darker.
When the two thought that they would not encounter any monsters and should retreat on the spot, they finally encountered a group of chickens.
What shocked Shu Lingyi was that this group of chickens had a slight talent for blending into the night!
"This... I didn't realize there were so many here just now."
Perhaps it was because of its jet-black feathers and the sky color, especially since it was next to the grass and trees and covered in shadows, that it seemed difficult to spot.
However, their feathers are covered with white round spots, and from a distance it looks like white pearls are nailed on the black feathers.
This chicken Shu Lingyi sounds very familiar - guinea fowl.
Because of the obvious characteristics of black feathers with white spots, it got this beautiful name.
The guinea fowl has a long and slender neck, but the color of the head is not clear, and each one looks round and slightly fat.
"Guinea fowl, this looks a bit special. I've never seen one before."
"I rarely saw them before, but my father only raised two at the time, and they were soon put into the pot by my mother."
Although the guinea fowl is called a chicken...it is actually a bird and can fly.
Unlike free range chickens and pasture chickens which can only fly low and short distances, guinea fowl are good flying birds. When they need to escape, they prefer to run rather than fly.
"You know a lot about this."
Zhong Qingwei couldn't help feeling a little emotional as he listened to Shu Ling's talk.
Shu Ling slapped away a guinea fowl that flew towards him, and couldn't help but lower his head "shyly" when he recalled the scene in his mind.
"Ahem, when my dad raised those two, I chased them every day, clamoring to catch them and cook them for my mom."
"I chased those two chickens all over the mountain, and they never took off properly in front of me until they were put into the pot."
Zhong Qingwei had already imagined a scene in his mind and thought it was indeed quite interesting.
"I didn't expect Comrade Yi Yi to be so aggressive since he was a kid, but he hasn't changed his nature until now, which is good."
Zhong Qing didn't mean what he said.
Shu Lingyi didn't think the matter was too complicated. Anyway, since there was a new species, he could just kill those with low levels and take out some meat.
Kill a group of high-level ones, and then capture another group and bring them back to Jiang Wang to raise.
"There are also benefits in the game, for example, my father is now setting up a breeding farm. Although there are all kinds of species, the requirements for the breeding environment are greatly reduced."
"Basically, they can be raised. I'm not picky at all."
Guinea fowls were slightly more lethal, and seemed to have a meat helmet on their heads. A few level 4 guinea fowls only suffered brain damage after being slapped, but were not completely killed.
What Shu Lingyi didn't expect was that the skills of this group of guinea fowl were actually somewhat similar to those of the black crows and owls he had encountered before.
Because its feathers are black, even if its body is covered with white spots, it can hide in the dark with the help of the surrounding environment, which is very confusing.
As Shu Ling and his two companions were killing, there were many "open spears" flying around and hurting people with their sharp claws, and at the same time they had to be on guard against many hidden arrows shot from all directions.
It’s a pity that no matter how hard we try, it’s all in vain given the absolute strength of the two.
[Don't kill them, don't kill them. Leave a hundred of them here, or you'll cry in a few days.]
In the end, Shu Lingyi and Zhong Qingwei had originally planned to create a flock of chickens that was completely wiped out.
She saw what Xiao Ai said, so she stopped. Those level 4 guinea fowl seemed to be afraid of death and fled in the chaos.
Shu Ling took Zhong Qingwei with him and stole thousands of eggs from the mountain.
The amount of chicken produced is quite a lot, a lot in fact!
However, there were also some chickens that were decomposed into half-complete corpses (without heads or hair) due to Shu Lingyi's deliberate operation.
"The broth made from pastured chickens is really great, and both guinea fowl and pastured chickens are very nutritious. After being air-dried, they are great for making plain noodles."
The shelf life of plain noodles is much longer than that of pure meat. Even if you are not in a hurry to make noodles, you can grind them into powder after air drying and store them in special sealed porcelain jars produced by [Simple but Not Simple].
The meat powder can be preserved for three or four solar terms, so if you want to make plain noodles, you can take it out and make it in advance at any time.
Zhong Qingwei has also eaten this plain noodles before. One bowl is enough to satisfy his satiety needs under normal circumstances.
Ordinary meat in the same quantity really cannot compare to this, and you will feel full of energy after eating it.
The taste is also unique. He hasn't tasted it for a while, and he became craving for it when he thought of it.
"Do you need help then?"
He wondered, if such a large amount of food was to be produced, someone would be needed to help?
If he goes over to help, he will be able to see Shu Lingyi every day, right?
Otherwise, when Shu Lingyi gets busy sometimes, he can't even remember where this person is.
"Hey? Of course you can! You can grind the flour with me then, haha!"
Shu Ling thought about his previous life when he ground the dried pickled chicken into powder by himself.
It was quite boring at the time. Yunbao and Mo Qiaoyu were each responsible for a part and no one could help each other.
But in the final analysis, the grinding process is the most boring, laborious and time-consuming.
Shu Ling gestured the action of grinding powder with one hand, and agreed happily, saying that he could come to her place to grind powder whenever he had time in the future.
"Don't worry about running out of ingredients. If you can't get it done, you can always beat the egg whites. I'll teach you then."
“Beat the egg whites?”
Zhong Qingwei tilted his head in confusion. Without the "war", Zhong Qingwei, who had left the combat mode, always had a kind of clear naivety.
Especially at this moment, his deep eyes reflected Shu Lingyi's face under the light of the lantern, but they were full of curiosity and desire for knowledge.
"Just add sugar to the egg whites and beat them into butter. Then you can make some cakes or something to eat. There are special egg-beating machines on Blue Star, but now we can only do it semi-manually."
Shu Ling glanced at Zhong Qingwei's arm. The muscle lines were smooth, firm but not too abrupt.
"Your arms are perfect for beating egg whites!"
Shu Lingyi couldn't help but pat his arm and expressed sincere admiration.
After receiving Shu Lingyi's praise, Zhong Qingwei felt that he was very capable and agreed immediately: "Okay, I will definitely study hard when the time comes!"
With his brisk steps and smiling eyes, he looked like a big dog that had been praised. If he had a tail, it would have been wagging wildly.
The two of them went down the mountain, talking and laughing. When the system was decomposed, many of the bodies were separated, such as chicken necks, chicken wings, and chicken legs...
These dried ones are also delicious. If that doesn’t work, she would like to make some braised ones, which are also very tempting.
"As for braised food, duck neck is really delicious, but chicken neck is also delicious. I like it best with the meat picked from the bones."
We went down the mountain without any obstructions. The sky was covered with a dark curtain, but we could still see countless stars.
"This is not common on Blue Planet... Eh? It's drizzling."
It was called a light rain, but actually it was just a drizzle. Falling on the two of them, it actually washed away the bloody smell from the monsters they had been hunting for the whole afternoon.
It was already past nine o'clock when we got home and the drizzle had not stopped yet. After returning home, everyone took a shower immediately to prevent catching a cold.
Yunbao received such a large amount of ingredients and worked overtime to prepare the seasonings and start marinating.
Shu Lingyi had taught her before, and Yunbao learned quickly.
The restaurant now provides meals for thousands of people, and there are other players in the territory who also cook and sell.
But people still come to the restaurant to do business, so the profits are very considerable.
As a result, Yunbao and Mo Qiaoyu will have enough funds to pay her taxes.
Shu Ling was happy to earn some money.
The restaurant has several very simple dishes, such as pepper fried eggs, stir-fried meat with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, loofah soup and so on.
These are sold very cheaply, only 5-15 gold coins can be bought, and are paired with soft steamed buns or crispy pancakes for 2 gold coins each.
In this way, fifty gold coins can fill my stomach several times a day.
The ingredients used are all the meat of low-level monsters. The dishes are simple, and although they will be rotated, there will be no numerical increase if you eat it a second time.
Therefore, it is understandable that it is sold at a low price, as it is only used to fill the stomach.
There are poor players in the territory. Some of them will even lose their income due to catastrophic changes in the solar terms, which causes their original professions to become useless.
This is mainly to provide a small guarantee so that players in poverty will not starve to death.
As for the others, you have to spend more gold coins to buy better ones.
A mid-range item that costs thirty to sixty gold coins is also quite a lot, but every time a new product is released, it will be more expensive if it is made from high-quality monster meat.
Generally speaking, it costs seventy to one hundred gold coins per copy.
It's okay to eat it occasionally at this price, but the value will increase if you eat it for the first time.
The reason why people continue to eat is nothing more than satisfying their appetite. They can do whatever they want because they have money.
This is how gold coins should be circulated. After the restaurant collects the money, Shu Lingyi and Yun Bao will take out a portion of the gold coins every time to purchase food.
It can also promote other players who farm and hunt.
There are also a group of people who only make ingredients, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, cooking wine, oysters, dark soy sauce and so on.
[Yi Ling]: "Qingqing, how many cloaks have you made?"
[Qing Ben Zhi Ruo]: "Only 20 items were made for level 7, 60 items for level 6 and 60 items for level 5."
[Yi Ling]: "Okay, I guess I have to make these scarecrows tonight and give them to Wenwen and the others first."
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "Are you worried that monsters will destroy the crops tomorrow?"
[Yi Ling]: "Well, the ground that the rabbit monster has ravaged is at most a little bald, but today I saw a flock of chickens on the hilltop, and the whole ground has been dug up into a mess."
When Shu Ling thought of the mess, he thought that if it fell on the farmland, the farmland might be destroyed...
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "Okay, I have a lot of level 5 and 6 animal skins here. I bought three level 7 ones from a player in the Caribbean territory today. I can make a cloak*15 when the time comes."
[Yi Ling]: "Thank you for your hard work, Qingqing! I'll make spicy rabbit meat for lunch tomorrow!"
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "I think it's feasible! We killed so many chickens today, I want fried chicken wings and fried chicken legs too!"
[Yi Ling]: "I will cook for you myself tomorrow and I guarantee our master tailor will be satisfied!"
The two of them discussed it this way, and then they were all laughing happily in front of the screen.
Shu Lingyi worked overtime to make all the scarecrows. He sold two of the twenty level seven ones to Zhong Qingwei first, and gave the rest to the Wang father and daughter.
Their farmland covers the largest area and is the most important, so nothing must happen to it.
The other level 6 and level 5 items were sold out in the territory, and each person was limited to purchasing two.
The drizzle lasted for more than five hours, and all the players went to bed early.
The drizzle moistened the earth, and the soil became moist and soft. After the rain stopped, the players had already fallen asleep.
But with the beginning of a new day, many new monsters are refreshed.
In addition to the many animals in the forest, there were also many birds circling in the sky.
[All the trees are in autumn colors]: "Wow, there are so many eagles catching rabbits today!"
