Chapter 287 Searching for Supplies
Mu Xi recalled, "Are you talking about Ma Tong?"
"Yes, yes, yes! That's it. I haven't eaten it in a long time."
In their hometown it is called Matong, and it seems that it is also called Mazao in other places. The sugar used in the production is maltose, which is sweet and not greasy. It is covered with sesame seeds on the outside and is crispy when you bite it. It was my favorite when I was a child.
Mu Xi only knew that it was made from glutinous rice flour, but he didn't know the specific recipe.
"Try it another day. You may not succeed if you haven't tried it before."
Zhao Yeqing nodded and finished the sesame sugar cake in his hand. The dish made by Mu Xi was also out of the pot.
Last time I killed a chicken to make dried chicken, I removed the claws and internal organs. The internal organs were made into spicy and sour chicken offal, and there were about twenty chicken claws left.
Mu Xi removed the old skin from the chicken feet, cut the nails, and boiled them in water for half an hour.
Add side dishes into the hot oil pan, including cabbage, lettuce, potatoes, carrots, tofu skin...Finally, add the stewed chicken feet that have become a little soft, pour the yellow braised sauce on them and cover with a lid to stew.
There is sauce and cabbage in the pot, so you don't need to add any water. Cover the pot and the water will be diluted in a few minutes. The sweet vegetable juice will become soup. Cook the side dishes and stew the already soft chicken feet to make them even softer.
The stew is now ready. As soon as the lid is opened, the aroma instantly spreads in the kitchen. Mu Xi cooks the sauce over high heat until it thickens, and finally sprinkles it with coriander, chopped green onions and a handful of sesame seeds.
In Zhao Yeqing's mind, braised chicken feet pot is the one that can crush braised chicken. She picked up a big bowl of rice and went straight to the chicken feet with her chopsticks.
The moment the tip of the chopsticks picked up the chicken feet, they sank into the meat. Her eyes lit up, as if she had guessed how delicious the soft and rotten chicken feet would be.
The chicken feet are covered with thick sauce. Place them on the rice for a while to let the excess sauce soak into the rice before putting the whole chicken feet into your mouth.
The chicken feet of the native chicken were not very big. She put the entire front end into her mouth and took a light bite. The meat was soft and boneless, and the texture was so gelatinous that it stuck to her lips.
Zhao Yeqing quickly spit out the bone in his mouth and shoveled the rice that had just been soaked in sauce into his mouth.
The chewing action of his mouth did not stop, but his heart had already let out countless comfortable sighs.
Isn’t it just for this that we work so hard every day?
The vegetables stewed in the yellow stew sauce in the pot are also very tasty. Zhao Yeqing loves the fried bean curd skin the most. It tastes like meat, and the gaps between the fried bean curd skin are full of soup.
Hiccup~
Zhao Yeqing, who was full, was given a cup of malt tea to help him digest his food, and Mu Xi also had a cup in his hand.
The whole pot of food was eaten cleanly.

When setting off in the morning, Mu Xi emptied the trunk of the car.
There are two tents in the trunk of the off-road vehicle. I brought them back because I thought the tents were of good quality. They are of no use for the time being, so I will put them aside for now. I will see if I can take out the tarpaulin of the tent and do something with it later.
I packed the two tents into the original owner's house, went back to the car and put the backpack I brought with me on the trip.
Zhao Yeqing prepared breakfast and invited Mu Xi to come over for dinner. She made two extra portions to take with her on the road, and they would probably have lunch in the car at noon.
After Mu Xi drove out, Zhao Yeqing told the dog to look after the house, then locked the doors and windows and got in the car.
After driving to the tourist area, the two found the road out of the tourist area and drove forward.
The car was not going fast, but the morning breeze was very cool.
It was less than ten o'clock when we arrived at the tourist area road.
Mountain fog covered the entire meadow, and soon the windshield was covered with water vapor after driving for a while.
Mu Xi turned on the wipers and Zhao Yeqing closed the car window which was slightly open.
The visibility on the road was not high, and we were going downhill, so we dared not drive fast and only maintained a speed of about 20 miles per hour at most.
The original owner of the car had a very niche taste in music. Zhao Yeqing replaced a few songs with niche foreign songs that were difficult to understand. They couldn't be said to be good or bad, but they were very effective in refreshing the mind.
After listening for a long time, I can taste some of the flavors, and my head starts to move little by little.
Mu Xi was driving through the white fog when suddenly a large rock appeared on the road in front of him. He subconsciously stepped on the brakes.
Fortunately, Zhao Yeqing had a good habit of wearing a seat belt. His body leaned forward suddenly and was pulled back, and the breakfast he had just eaten in the morning was almost strangled out.
The throat was choked by saliva, "cough cough..."
Mu Xi pulled the handbrake and patted her back to calm her down. "Are you okay?"
Zhao Yeqing shook his head. The two of them unbuckled their seat belts and got out of the car to observe the large rock blocking the middle of the road.
Zhao Yeqing looked up the slope and saw a big hole in the ground on the slope next to the mountain road. The exposed soil inside looked quite new.
"Maybe it was because of the rain that fell some time ago."
The rock was neither big nor small, and it fell right in the middle of the road. Their car was big, so it was stuck and they couldn't pass.
Zhao Yeqing had no choice but to walk a few steps forward along the road and turn the bend to see if there was their target ahead.
The road was clean and there was nothing on it.
Well, we have to move forward and we have to get rid of this big rock first.
It is impossible to move it just by moving it. There is a set of tools in the car, but unfortunately there is no big hammer. Otherwise it would be easier to move it if I hammered it open.
Mu Xi took out a crowbar from the trunk, and the two of them found a small stone to use as a fulcrum. After a lot of effort, they finally moved the stone to the side.
It can't be moved completely, but at least it can allow cars to pass through.
Zhao Yeqing directed Mu Xi to drive over the rocks before getting in the car and continuing forward.
This delay took nearly another hour.
Zhao Yeqing originally thought that he would be able to return by noon, but he didn't expect that he still hadn't found his target by noon.
After walking all the way down to the foot of the mountain, the two finally saw the first damaged car. The car was a very small commuter vehicle, which might have belonged to the indigenous people of the mountain.
There was a very obvious dent on the body of the car, which was the result of being hit by another car. The burnt black frame of the car fell into a ditch beside the road.
You don't need to look to know that there is probably nothing on it.
What does being hit at this time mean? It is most likely that the other car was reckless in its attempt to escape.
Neither of them wanted to get out of the car. Mu Xi stepped on the accelerator and continued to move forward. Zhao Yeqing reached out to turn off the music. They both looked at the road in front of them in silence.
After driving for another half an hour, they finally saw the scene they had imagined.
The dark crack in the ground blocked a dozen cars in front of the crack and a skeleton leaning against the cars in despair.
