Chapter 222

North gate.

Under the spacious shed, there was a long table. Next to the table, there were two braziers, in which the charcoal fire was very hot.

Chu Guang, wearing blue power armor, stood in the shed and looked at the busy small players in the market, with an old father's smile on his face.

not bad

Draw a cake and let the players burn it by themselves. Sure enough, this is the job to plan.

Chu Guang originally thought that holding this celebration would consume a lot of inventory, but now it seems that his worry is completely superfluous.

Those little players obviously read his activity copy several times, and even dug out what he wanted to express but didn't write well in the copy from the perspective of the game background.

Wasteland gourmet.

Naturally, we have to use some "original" food on the waste soil.

Or how can you say that your own cooking is the "purest waste soil"?

Crispy oven leech and cricket meat, fried mutant cockroach legs, jumping in the leech pot, and luminous vampire steak, all together!

Of course, Chu Guang won't eat himself.

He doesn't have n lives.

It's better to eat something healthy and hygienic.

There are three awards in the competition.

One is the delicious food in the minds of wasteland customers, one is the delicious food in the minds of players, and the other is the recognition of adults from managers.

The selection criteria of the three awards are different, and the judges are also different, but the awards are basically the same.

That is, huge activity points!

Qualified title!

And enter the hall of fame and shine on the forum!

As in previous activities, you can get points after completing tasks in the activity, which can be used to exchange for activity limited awards and new year's red envelopes - in fact, it is a lottery with a different name.

The prizes include but are not limited to the 666 silver coins of the first prize, as well as the special prize - a carbon nano bulletproof vest worth 6666 silver coins.

This thing has never been on the shelf in NPC stores. Chu Guang randomly marked the price. Anyway, no one will refute even if he adds a zero estimate.

In addition to the lucky draw, the most interesting thing for players is, of course, the limited title and the opportunity to enter the hall of fame.

And according to the manager himself, if he gets the title of "waste land gourmet", his designed dishes will be included in the menu of this year's new year's party.

For life professional players, this temptation is too big.

In order to compete for the title, the warehouse was almost sold out of condiments except salt.

As a result, Chuguang had to temporarily adjust the activity strategy and temporarily remove the seasoning from the shelf of the warehouse to complete the task.

Thanks to this, the completion progress of daily tasks in recent days is quite gratifying, and he, the manager, has received reward points from the system.

In order to meet the cooking needs of players, Chu Guang has spent almost all his points on the primary blind box these days. For this reason, he has also obtained many seeds of high-yield crops.

This is a windfall.

Looking at the wooden cards on the table, Xia Yan looked puzzled at Chu Guang and asked.

"What is a judge?"

She had never heard such a strange word.

Chu Guang thought a little and explained.

"To put it simply, if you walk around the north gate and think it looks good, just take one back. If it's delicious, just like it."

Of course, you have to taste it before you eat it.

As a perception player, her talent is toxin intuition, and she can see what she can't eat at a glance.

In addition, her physical attributes are not high. When she eats something that is OK, others can basically eat it.

The crows who become "tasters" are happy.

Chu Guang still remembers how the little player patted his chest and assured himself that he would do his best to maintain the order of the celebration, and asked himself to hand over this "glorious and arduous" task to her.

"Oh, I see." Xia yanmeng nodded.

To sum up... Take whatever you like to eat?

Eat and drink for nothing?

That's great!?

The little fish sitting behind the long table looked a little embarrassed.

After secretly looking at brother Chu, she said in a small voice.

"But... Is it really good if you don't give money?"

To tell you the truth, this question is a little superfluous.

What money do the judges give for food?

It's generous enough not to charge entry fees, okay!

Not to mention that there are points for competition. Even the most consolation award is definitely enough to pay for that meal.

Chu Guang originally intended to say so, but seeing the sorry expression on Xiaoyu's face, he changed his mouth again.

The dog plans to be alone.

You can't teach bad children.

"This is part of the celebration. The expenses of the activity will be borne by the shelter... You can understand that the money has actually been paid."

There was a pause here.

Looking at the ignorant fish on his face, Chu Guang smiled gently and continued.

"Remember to say thank you to them before tasting."

"They'll be happy all day."

Boss Xia, standing with his arms in his arms, nodded.

I see.

It's not for free.

It's public money to eat and drink.

……

The food competition for the new year is in full swing. In order to get the limited title, both life professional players and combat professional players have done their best.

The activity lasted until the last day of December.

It was a rare sunny day.

The roaring north wind and Blizzard are the end of the crossbow, and the harsh winter seems to have come to an end.

Everything is heralding that dawn is coming and victory is at hand!

In order to welcome the coming waste soil era 212, the outpost base is decorated with lights and decorations.

The doors of many houses are pasted with red paper and hung with bright red cloth and ribbons.

In order to make the festival atmosphere stronger, Chu Guang also specially issued a task to make more than 40 lanterns in the carpenter's cabin from the square in front of the sanatorium to the market at the north gate.

At dusk.

More than 40 lanterns were lit.

The hazy light, against the burning torch, makes the whole outpost lively and adds a bit of holiday color at the same time.

Chu Guang found that his little players were genius.

In just one week, in the case of lack of materials, his small players surprisingly unlocked hundreds of recipes.

Some of the most creative brain holes, even when he saw them, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Like rattan.

It is said that she gained experience from nomads. With the help of autumn grass and autumn leaf sisters, she boiled shellac from the pupa of the devil moth and made something similar to "bamboo shoot jelly".

It's crystal clear, white and soft. It tastes like jelly. If you don't deliberately mention it, no one will think of the devil moth.

Without any suspense, the food won the award of "the most popular wasteland food for players".

After all, compared with Lao Na's pepper, salt and charcoal baked Mantis legs and some "real food" that has nothing to do with waste land, this dish skillfully finds a balance between the two.

And the taste and taste are quite good, belonging to the "order neutral" kind.

The only pity is that there is no chili sauce, otherwise it will be more delicious.

However, not everyone is satisfied with this result.

Especially for those who "almost" win the game

"Gan! Why is the wasteland gourmet not me! It's so delicious!"

"Yes!"

"Too much!"

The awarding session ended as early as noon. Now it's time for celebration.

Mole, Wang Fugui and Lao Na, who are still at large in the valley, roasted all the unfinished Mantis legs, trying to prove themselves with the taste.

However, unfortunately, the shadow in front of the three people's booth was sparse, and few people patronized at all.

Even if it was confirmed that there was no poison, the crow still shook his head into a rattle.

"Sorry, physical discomfort, I really can't accept this kind of food!"

The beautiful and kind-hearted Miss Teng took a closer look and wanted to buy some comfort to them, but when she was ready to pay, she couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"In other words... Is there really no wireworm?"

Hearing this, brother mole immediately felt that the wound seemed to have been sprinkled with salt and said sadly and angrily.

"How can there be so many wireworms! Not all Mantis have wireworms!"

Fairy Wang Fugui: "yes! It's all fried like this! And isn't it poison free?"

Irena: Gan! Do you know how hard it is to find these things in winter

"Sorry, I won't ask..." Teng hurriedly took out the VM. Although she didn't know why she wanted to apologize, she paid first and bought some.

I couldn't watch anymore. I walked over at night 10, patted Irena on the shoulder and sighed.

"Forget it, old Na, let's give up and don't struggle."

Elena said angrily, "I won't go offline until it's sold out!"

Night ten silently released his hand.

good heavens.

I'm ready to stay up all night

……

The most recognized food award by players was won by Tengteng in one fell swoop.

The delicious food recognized by boss Xia, Xiaoyu, Yin Fang, Heya, guards and warehouse administrators is the "mushroom cloud cake" made by crows.

As a taster, she also participated in the competition.

The eggs bought from the frost spear clan were mixed with white sugar to make the egg white. The crows skillfully made the egg white into small mushroom caps with round billed flower mounting bags, surrounded by chocolate chips.

The whole cake looks like a mushroom cloud. The chocolate chips around it form a nuclear bomb pit. If you insist, it can hardly be regarded as a waste soil style food.

But to be honest, in Chu Guang's view, this is a completely opportunistic behavior.

Chocolate, sugar and eggs are all bought, and they are far from cheap.

Although Chu Guang has repeatedly stressed that what he needs is cheap and delicious food, NPCs are conquered by the taste of chocolate and are not interested in those waste soil style food.

Looking at the little fish with bright eyes, Chu Guang really didn't have the heart to veto, so he didn't say anything.

Fortunately, he also expected a deviation in the voting results, so he set up a third Award - "the most recognized food by managers".

The award was presented by him personally.

The food that won the award is the "split claw crab meat cake" of the cattle and horse team.

400g split claw crab meat, 450g green wheat flour, 10g salt, a little Buffalo Grass Powder and white berries can be squeezed to obtain a full kilogram of split claw crab meat.

The meat cake made of this minced meat has no oxalic acid taste of green wheat and retains the flavor of crab meat. There is no doubt that it is delicious.

Chu Guang gave the award to its inventor without saying a word.

Because it is a group work, except that the name of the chef tomato scrambled egg will be displayed on the first level page of the hall of fame, the list of other partners will be included in the second level sub page.

The collaborators have no opinion about this. After all, their names have long been in the hall of fame.

It was their decision to give this rare opportunity to fried egg brothers after their own discussion.

Standing at the north gate of the base.

Chu Guang, wearing power armor, announced the final result of the game in a loud voice, and then raised his glass to the crowd in the celebration.

"Celebrate the last day of the old year!"

"Let's drink to the bumper harvest next year!"

I wanted to say a lot.

But looking at those excited little players on his face, Chu Guang suddenly felt that at this time, the long speech seemed redundant.

Let's give them the time.

Just be a handsome NPC quietly.

As the voice fell, the market at the north gate immediately rang with cheers, and wooden wine glasses were raised high.

"Ow, Ow!"

"The planning boss is awesome!"

"Woo woo, I don't have to eat takeout alone on New Year's day this year!"

"Brothers who don't exist have to eat like taking off their helmets."

"Well, stop talking. Besides, tears are going to fall."

There are about 500 players who choose to celebrate the festival in the game, basically all here.

As for the other 300 players, they are either busy in reality or with their families. It is estimated that they will come back after noon tomorrow.

In addition to the players, the NPCs who came to the celebration were also full of joy and joy.

It turned out that the celebration was such a happy thing.

The original Festival is such a thing!

Life seems to have a new hope, even if they are not aware that the cultural identity is gradually taking shape in their hearts.

Chu Guang took out the last few barrels of red wine in the inventory and gave everyone a small cup.

Although all points are finished, Chu Guang doesn't feel bad.

One is that he has decided to drink less in his life. If he can't drink, he won't drink.

Another, he robbed the wine from the wine cellar of the old leech anyway. It doesn't matter if he finishes drinking it.

There will be new next year.

"Cheers! Burp -"

Boss Xia excitedly held up the wine glass and got bored. He ran over with a shaky red face and asked Chu Guang if he still had it. It perfectly explained what it means to be both food and drink.

The little fish sitting next to the brazier sipped milk. He looked at Xia Yan with some worry. He was worried that she would faint again like last time.

Yan Fang stared at the wine glass for a while, smelled it, frowned and drank it, then muttered back to the shelter and continued his research.

When Heya finished drinking, her expression didn't change at all. She stood there watching the lively players and wasteland guests with great interest.

For her growing up in the shelter, everything here is so fascinating.

Whether it's DNA or culture.

He gave his cup to boss Xia. Chu Guang glanced at the empty cup in her hand and looked a little surprised.

"I didn't expect you to drink unexpectedly."

Heya didn't feel anything difficult to understand, of course.

"After all, my liver, stomach and... Are bionic organs that can be selectively absorbed or not absorbed at all."

Chu Guang: "

ok

That's a waste.

It was not just the outpost that celebrated the new year. After announcing the beginning of the celebration, Chu Guang released a task through VM, selected several small players and went to the temporary shelter in the abandoned department store to send a new year's blessing to the refugees there.

Not much.

About 300 kilograms of crab Patty.

Although everyone can only get a small piece of 200g crab cake, it is also the meat of split clawed crab.

I believe this new year gift from shelter 404 should bring them a trace of warmth.

……

"Damn, why can't bear paw stewed catfish soup!"

The celebration has entered the second half, guarding a pot of cold black fish soup. His tail squatted on the ground and drew a circle on the snow with branches.

Si Si comforted her.

"I don't think there's a problem with the dish itself. Maybe there's a problem with the method... Why is the soup black? I remember it wasn't white before?"

"Please don't care about these details."

"No... I think it's better to find out."

Irena, who ate all the baked Mantis legs while no one paid attention and pretended that all the things were sold out, happened to stroll here.

Seeing the dark cooking with bear's paws and fish's head in the pot, he couldn't help laughing with schadenfreude.

"Did you stew the meat?"

The tail gave him a disgruntled look.

"How can it be! Meat can talk!"

And that's her mount!

It was hard to tame.

Si Si, who accompanied by his tail, sighed and said helplessly.

"It's not a meat hand, but it has something to do with meat. In short, the tail uses meat as bait to lead the hibernating brown bear out of the hole, emmm... The situation was a little chaotic at that time, so I won't describe it."

Irene scratched the back of her head: "well, although I'm curious about the details, shouldn't I ask more?"

The players heard around threw sympathetic eyes at the meat one after another. Only the meat looked like it was about to cry.

"Wait a minute, you're making it clear. Everyone obviously misunderstood!"

Ignoring the noise of his teammates, his tail was still muttering.

"Damn, it tastes OK!"

Seth patted her on the shoulder.

"Well, well, don't be sad... Ah, it seems to be a task, and it seems to hide the task. Ah Wei, do you want to come together?"

Hearing that it was a hidden task, the tail immediately stood up and said with bright eyes.

"Yes!"

Si Si's face showed an old father's smile.

The child is too easy to coax.
