Farming people can not collapse

Chapter 128

The peppers in the vegetable field are naturally not the special cursed varieties of Eli General Hospital, but ordinary peppers—of course, before they are planted.

In Aunt Lan's impression, there is a kind of sweet pepper called "space pepper". It is said that it was cultivated from green pepper seeds that once traveled into space. The size of an adult man's fist.

But what they planted is obviously not space pepper, but a small pepper called Qixing pepper in Chaotian pepper!

You must know that the characteristics of Qixing pepper are petite, thin skin and thick flesh, spicy and mellow, usually only the size of a finger... But now, each pepper has grown to the size of a palm!

Moreover, the seven-star pepper not only grows big, but also grows densely. The one that grows the best has a large area of ​​red on its thick stalks, which looks like a ball of flames gushing out from the ground.

Xiao Ju and Xiao Mu couldn't wait to get in close contact with each other.

Young children are naturally interested in brightly colored objects.

But before they could get close, Zhou Yang appeared and asked to take care of the two little ones—not because he was worried about the little kid making trouble, but because the Seven Star Pepper had grown bigger and its spiciness became stronger. The little Seven Star Pepper is the hottest top pepper in Cherry City. Zhou Yang remembered that before the catastrophe of the interstellar era, the Seven Star Pepper was used as a special pepper for flower growers to hold a certain world record pepper competition.

It is said that if this kind of pepper is placed within 1 meter of sight, ordinary people will have tears. Children are already thin and tender, and their facial features are fragile, so they dare not come to "try the spiciness".

Fortunately, Xiao Yan and Xiao Miao were not bears at all, and they didn't cry after being stopped, and followed the other person to pick other vegetables obediently.

And the seven-star pepper pickers here are all supernatural beings that Zhou Yang asked for from Wei Ge.

After all, they are relatively "rough-skinned and thick-skinned".

With so many peppers, it feels so refreshing to pick them up, and it’s a big handful when you stroke them!

"This spicy taste is really strong!"

As one of the supernatural beings, Xiao Lin was in the seven-star pepper picking team.

He picked peppers while tearing up—of course, he was not moved, but purely smoked.

There are so many peppers, the leaves of the peppers can hardly be seen, and many green ones are still unripe peppers. How many catties can this tree weigh!

The output is also amazing!

With so many fruits on a tree, the fertility can be maintained, and no one will be able to grow because of this. It is really surprising.

"Team Zhou, the peppers and other dishes have been picked, should we prepare the hot pot now?"

As Xiong Hao spoke, he sucked in the saliva that almost rolled down from the corner of his mouth.

The basket in his hand contained a basket full of bright red peppers—it was said to be a basket, but in fact it was only five or six, because it was too big, five or six would be full.

Peppers are suitable for growing in warm and dry climates, and they are most afraid of humidity, rain and low temperature-this is almost non-existent in Cherry City, where coal is burned underground every day-so peppers have been growing well.

It's just that it takes about three months for peppers to be harvested from seeds to mature fruits, so the first crop has not been picked until now.

The best harvesting time of the day is in the morning and evening, and the freshness of the picked peppers should be kept as far as possible, so as to maintain the delicious taste of the peppers.

This is the first batch of peppers, not too many mature and red.

However, as long as the first crop is mature, the number of subsequent crops will increase significantly.

Zhou Yang also misses hot pot very much.

When I was in Rongshu Village, every household liked spicy food at that time. Even a small vegetable should be fried with some dried chili segments, otherwise it would feel "tasteless"; later in Eli General Hospital, the botany The super hot peppers cultivated by the family not only opened the door to a new world for the residents of the island, but later became a major specialty of the island and spread to all over the world.

Unknowingly, Zhou Yang also prefers spicy food, and hot pot is one of his and Wei Ge's favourites.

There is nothing that one meal of hot pot can't solve. If there is, then two meals.

But it’s not enough to only have peppers for a hot pot meal. In the past, you can still find hot pot base packets in the supermarket’s supplies. Although it’s a pity that when they found it, it would have melted and deteriorated under the action of high temperature, but fortunately there is still that kind of airtight packaging. Spice packs - pepper, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, grass fruit and the like.

Zhou Yang's culinary skills have been tempered in two worlds. Not to mention the level of an imperial chef, he is also a well-known chef. What's more, he has a recipe in his mind that has been passed down for thousands of years.

It is not a problem at all to prepare a pot of delicious and spicy hot pot base with the limited materials on hand!

The side dishes for the hot pot are also ready, and the meat dishes are the mutated bison that Wei Ge hunted back. Because he is worried about the accumulation of toxins in the internal organs, he can only give up the tripe veal, but the light beef is enough to eat heartily.

With meat and vegetables, vegetarian dishes are also indispensable.

Bean sprouts, lettuce, cabbage, radish, tomato, bean curd.

The bean curd was not made by Zhou Yang from soybeans, but was found when searching for supplies.

This kind of packaged and sealed can generally be stored for seven or eight months, and can be eaten after soaking in water.

They also grow soybeans themselves, but it takes about three or four months for soybeans to grow from germination to harvest, which is similar to corn.

Now the soybeans in the field are still tender and green, because there are not many of them, Zhou Yang is reluctant to use them to cook edamame (and the beans in the same palm-sized pods, it is estimated that the normal edamame will not be cooked well), ready to wait until it is completely cooked. After ripening and pod removal, the beans are used as processed products.

As for the lettuce and cabbage, I have eaten it several times.

I don’t know if the soil has been “processed” by the crystal nuclei. The vegetables grown are very delicious. They are crispy and refreshing when eaten raw, and they are delicious when cooked, even if they are only boiled in plain water. They are soft and sweet without any seasoning. .

※※※

If Zhou Yang and Wei Ge just thought that the taste of the giant vegetables grown in this way was quite good, then the rest of the flower planting team were really weeping with joy.

Originally, it was very painful to suddenly fall from a comfortable and comfortable modern life to poverty and famine like a beggar, but it was painful and painful, and three months passed, and I more or less got used to it.

It's just that as they can find fewer and fewer things, they will also worry about the food crisis visible to the naked eye.

but! Yes!

This worry was shattered today!

It turns out that today when Cherry City has collapsed and fallen, they can not only eat enough, but also eat well. What a joyful thing this is!

What surprised the supernatural users even more was that a week after the vegetables in the vegetable field were served on their daily table, a team accidentally encountered an evolutionary zombie while going out.

Although Zhou Yang and the others shared the attack characteristics and weaknesses of the evolved zombies before, the team also struggled.

One of the team members has the ability of flames, but according to the experience of many battles, he can only shoot [-] fireballs, and he has already smashed [-] fireballs in order to attack the evolved zombies from a distance.

However, the agility of the evolved zombie was beyond everyone's ability to deal with it. Seeing that the evolved zombie was about to pierce the female player who had a crush on the fire-type superpower, his small universe exploded in an instant, and three fireballs burst out from his palm at the same time!

Although these three fireballs are smaller than the previous single fireball, they are hotter and faster.

The fireball moves with the heart, and hits the evolved zombie's naked (exposed) brain with a three-combo!

Afterwards, he was taken back by the team members to be examined by Dr. Ahn'Qiraj. Based on his condition, it was guessed that his supernatural strength had improved.

And the reason for the improvement is because of the absorption of crystal nuclei?

But they obviously couldn't digest the crystal nucleus... Wait!

Some quick-witted eyes thought of the fresh vegetables they ate every day, which grew out of the soil nourished by crystal nuclei!

It turns out that this is the correct way to use crystal nuclei?

This surprised and delighted everyone. When they were worried that the zombies were getting stronger and their abilities were still stagnant, they suddenly gave them a clear and broad path, which made them worship Zhou Yang even more.

Especially in the later stage, Anbo and Xiong Tai's strength improved one by one, which confirmed the previous conjecture.

It tastes delicious but can also become stronger, what kind of fairy day is this!

No, it's not that life is good, but because they were lucky enough to meet Team Zhou!

If Wei Ge hadn't been watching, they would have rushed up to give Zhou Yang a firm hug!

At sunset, the hunting team led by Wei Ge also returned from the southern forest.

Except for a mutated bison that Wei Ge hunted and killed with his own strength in order to show himself in front of Zhou Yang, the other team members did not paddle, and there were also a few mutated rabbits, mutated pheasants, and mutated deer.

Under the great anticipation of the crowd, the supernatural beings tried their best, wind blades, metal knives, water washing and so on went into battle one after another, and within a short time, the behemoths were smashed into pieces of meat and bones.

At this time, it was the turn of the ice-type supernatural power to appear.

The large piece of meat was quick-frozen into a semi-hard state, and the wind-type and metal-type superpowers made another move to cut the large piece of meat into thin meat rolls, ensuring that each meat roll was evenly thin, bringing After the child is put into the pot, it can be eaten immediately after being scalded and rinsed.

While he was busy processing hot pot ingredients over there, Zhou Yang also brought another group of supernatural beings to work on hot pot ingredients.

With so many people, of course they can't cook in one pot, so Zhou Yang plays the role of a general guide, and the bottom of each pot has to be boiled between them.

Of course, the most important butter is made by Zhou Yang himself. After all, it is very important to control the heat. If the heat is too high, it will not be fragrant enough, and if the heat is not too "tender", the fishy smell will be more obvious.

What?Oil instead of butter?

Zhou Yang is a staunch butter hot pot party.

In Zhou Yang's opinion, if there is no butter, hot pot is not called hot pot, and clear oil is not even as good as clear soup hot pot.

Butter tastes thicker, and because it is meat oil, it will absorb the flavor of spices during the cooking process. The bottom soup is very thick and fragrant, and it can be hung on hot meat and vegetables to increase the taste. Add more flavor and texture to dishes.

And take a step back, the current clear oil is edible oil from the collected materials, and it is too expensive to eat hot pot. Where is the butter refined from the mutant bison that is hunting now that is cost-effective?

※※※

Unlike lard, which can be refined from fat meat, butter cannot be refined from meat, and side oil must be used.

The so-called edge oil refers to the thick layer of fat between the beef and the internal organs, which is used to refine the authentic butter.

Generally, the oil yield of edge oil is [-] to [-]%, which means that ten catties of fat can produce seven or eight catties of butter.

Snow-white, fresh and odorless edge oil and fat, washed and cut into small pieces, put into a clean pot, mixed with an appropriate amount of water, put in smashed garlic and ginger, and poured cooking wine to remove the fishy smell.

First cook on high heat until the water is dry and the fragrance overflows, then turn to low heat, and continue to boil until all the oil comes out.

It takes 2-3 hours from putting the oil in the side pot to cooking the butter, and it needs to be stirred continuously, and the oil residue is removed in the middle, and the surface foam is removed, and it is boiled until the butter is clear and transparent, and the color is warm and bright. It's fine.

Because it was eaten by his own people, Zhou Yang did not take the boiled butter to cool, but poured in the various seasonings and spices he had prepared before—this is what they have been collecting for a while. Most of the accumulated materials were eaten this time, but it was worth it for everyone in the flower planting team.

Because the seven-star pepper is too big, it can't be put down whole like Zhou Yang used to make the hot pot base. Instead, it has to be cut into small pieces first, and cut into a thickness no bigger than the fingertips, so as to ensure the quality of the seven-star pepper. The spiciness can be fully stimulated.

And that, nonsensically, is a daunting task.

There is a stimulating spicy taste when they are freshly picked, but now they have to be cut open, and the spicy taste of the chili juice from the cut section is even stronger.

Ordinary people would be so hot that they burst into tears when they cut one, and there were no more than three supernatural beings.

If you accidentally splash the chili juice on your skin, you will feel a burning pain in an instant.

For this hot pot meal, the flower planting team took turns except for the children, and finally cut the required amount of Qixing pepper.

The author has something to say: Speaking of Qixing pepper, the braised Qixing pepper in Dazhou is really super delicious!

It's a pity that my best friend is no longer in Dazhou, otherwise I really want her to buy human flesh.

There is also a flagship store of Qixing pepper on the Internet, but I personally think that the most delicious one is the one that is sold now. I can make a fortune just by relying on this Qixing pepper. I really want to eat this kind of fresh food all over the world.

In addition, today my good friend sent four hairy crabs≧〔゜゜〕≦, which are as big as the palm of an adult woman!Every leg is meat!Knock delicious!

The only tangled thing is that eating this is really time-consuming. I ate two and it took almost an hour and a half _(:з」∠)_. Even the coding time tonight was delayed by more than half an hour ...
