Chatper 39: Discovering new ingredients
"Today's rule is very simple, that is, before noon, everyone find the ingredients they want to bring back, and then make a hearty lunch, we will provide kitchenware and condiments, but the main ingredients still need everyone The contestants will find it on their own." The host said with a smile, obviously it was the first time I encountered such a session, and I was very interested.
In the interstellar era, there were very few food-related programs, and they were basically carried out indoors, and everything was prepared.
And the status of chefs is high, and no one dares to let them go to the wild to find ingredients. Therefore, this experiment of the food competition, whether it is the host or the audience watching the live broadcast, is very interested, and they want to know the final competition. What kind of food can the players cook?
And, what are the ingredients grown in the wild, will they have the opportunity to find ingredients in the wild in the future, so that they can cook at home by themselves?
Thinking of the expensive prices in the ingredients mall, many viewers stared at the live broadcast screen, eager to learn.
[It would be great if there were really edible ingredients in the wild. There is a large forest here in my house, and there are quite a lot of plant species in it, so I can definitely find something to eat. 】
[The price of ingredients in the mall is really daunting. The most important thing is that even if you buy it back, you don’t know what to do, and it’s all wasted in the end, and your heart is bleeding. 】
[The price of the restaurant outside is even more expensive. Even if I save a year's salary, I may not be able to eat a meal. Fortunately, the Second World can occasionally satisfy my cravings. 】
[Looking forward to it, this food competition is really different, the live broadcast at the beginning was very exciting, and now it is even engaged in wild survival, ah ah ah... I want to blow the organizer. 】
[With the same blow, we can actually see the most original appearance of the ingredients with our own eyes. We are so lucky. We must watch this issue carefully, and no details can be missed. If we have the opportunity to go to the wild in the future, maybe we will also Can you find delicious food? 】
[Even if it’s not delicious, it’s good as long as there are ingredients to satisfy your cravings. Anyway, it’s free from the wild, so it won’t be too distressing. 】
[At this moment, I wish I could have a clone technique, each clone squatting in a player's live broadcast room, and remembering all the ingredients picked by all the players! 】
The audience in the live broadcast room was really happy and angry. The joy was towards the organizer, and the anger was towards themselves.
After the spontaneous publicity of the audience, the number of people watching the live broadcast is growing rapidly.
"I just said that the game should be changed. The audience is fond of the new and dislikes the old. You can watch the live broadcast this time."
Luo Qigang nodded silently, agreeing with Su Yang's words.
Times are progressing, and they should also keep pace with the times.
... live live...
"Xiao Bai, can I come with you?" Fang Weixuan asked with glowing eyes, "I've seen ingredients growing in the ground, and then I can be the main force in finding ingredients, the lunch you made. Can you give me half?"
In the end, Fang Weixuan was a little embarrassed.
"Okay." Gu Bai readily agreed.
But it is a matter of more pairs of chopsticks, very simple.
"Really? Great, I'll have to find more ingredients later." Fang Weixuan suddenly felt full of energy, and his whole body was full of energy.
This is probably the power of food.
After the host introduced the rules, the 60 contestants set out to look for ingredients, and the live camera followed each contestant dedicatedly.
Gu Bai walked in the forest, neither rushed nor slow, it didn't look like he was here for a game, but more like he was here for an outing.
In fact, Gu Bai didn't take this competition too seriously. After all, he didn't need to be eliminated, and he hadn't been to the forest for a long time. He felt the breeze blowing on his face and the leaves rustling, and he gained a long-lost peace in his heart.
Needless to say, in the last days, I lived in fear every day. I didn't know where the zombies would suddenly pop out, and I couldn't relax for a moment.
After coming to this world, because he didn't have a penny in his pocket, he didn't even give himself the time to adapt, so he joined the ranks of desperately making money.
Opening a shop, participating in competitions, and taking care of the farm, a series of things kept him busy non-stop without touching the ground.
A real relaxation is still in the game, which is quite outrageous.
On the other hand, Fang Weixuan was not as leisurely as Gu Bai. He kept his eyes fixed on the ground, not letting go of any plants, especially edible ones.
The resources in the forest are indeed very rich, even in the second world, it completely simulates reality, leaving a lot of edible plants.
This world is so realistic that sometimes Gu Bai can't tell whether he is in the second world or in reality.
"Xiao Bai, look, that's cabbage." Fang Weixuan pointed at a cabbage that couldn't be more obvious in the green grass, and exclaimed excitedly.
Gu Bai: ...
Sometimes, the second world doesn't seem so real, like now.
Whose cabbage will grow alone in the middle of a small grass, like a star holding the moon.
But Fang Weixuan didn't think so much. He found edible ingredients so quickly. He couldn't be more happy. He hurriedly pulled out the cabbage carefully and put it in the fresh-keeping space provided by the organizer.
Along the way, Fang Weixuan still couldn't find a lot of ingredients, some were growing normally, and some were as obvious as cabbage and couldn't be more obvious.
However, the latter are still relatively few, and most of them are similar to reality.
"I didn't expect to find so many delicious foods. Sure enough, the resources in the forest are rich. I don't know which planet the brain is simulated in this forest. If we can really go to the forest of that planet, then we Wouldn't it be possible to find so much food in reality?" Fang Weixuan said excitedly, already thinking about finding this planet.
"Simulation?" Gu Bai heard this word for the first time.
"All the wild environments in the second world are directly copied and simulated according to reality. The copy simulation is very random, and even it doesn't know which planet it simulated." Fang Weixuan explained.
If the simulated environment can clearly know which planet is from, then they will definitely have more discoveries in ingredients, and the Plantation Research Institute can also restore more plants on the earth, which can save more manpower. material and financial resources.
Gu Bai didn't know until now that the second world wasn't entirely virtual. A forest like this was a replica of a real forest, so the unique growth patterns of the cabbage that Fang Weixuan had just found were all... real?
Gu Bai knew more about Interstellar and became more interested.
"It would be great if I could catch another prey, so that there would be vegetables and meat." Fang Weixuan said happily, he finally didn't lose the chain today, thanks to himself who ran to the Plantation Research Institute from time to time, otherwise he might have just Recognize processed ingredients, but not what raw ingredients look like.
"Is there any prey here?" Gu Bai asked.
Fang Weixuan: "I don't know, there should be some small animals, but I don't know if they can eat them."
"Let's just follow the fate, fight if you can, and forget if you can't." Gu Bai said, he didn't force it.
"Okay." Fang Weixuan agreed. Anyway, the ingredients they picked were barely enough for lunch.
While walking, Gu Bai suddenly stopped, Fang Weixuan looked at him in confusion, "Xiao Bai, what's wrong?"
Gu Bai pointed to the front piece, "Do you know this?"
Fang Weixuan looked in the direction and saw only a patch of weeds and no ingredients to use. "What? Where is it?"
Seeing Fang Weixuan's reaction, Gu Bai knew that the other party didn't know. He stepped forward and squatted down, picked up a small branch and started digging.
"Xiao Bai, what are you doing?" Fang Weixuan's eyes were full of doubts.
"Dig good things." Gu Bai said with a smile, if this world truly replicates reality perfectly, then there should be fruit below, and today is really full of harvest.
At least, since he came to this world, he hasn't seen this thing. It doesn't even seem to be in the ingredients store. I don't know if everyone didn't find it, or because there were too few in the store and he missed it.
But today, he won't miss it.
Gu Bai hummed and dug the soil, and soon he dug out a small pile, revealing the red fruits inside, and with a gentle tug, the leaves and fruits came out together.
Gu Bai pinched the fruit, and there was a hint of milky white liquid flowing out, which was exactly what he imagined...sweet potato.
Roasted sweet potatoes, diced sweet potatoes, sweet potato cakes, sweet potato balls, steamed sweet potatoes... all are very delicious, just thinking about it, he feels that his saliva is starting to overflow.
"Xiao Bai, what is this? Is it edible?" Fang Weixuan asked, looking at the red fruit that Gu Bai dug out of the ground.
"Of course, this thing is delicious and can be used as a staple food." Gu Bai held the sweet potato in his hand and smiled softly, "I'll make it for you at noon."
Fang Weixuan's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that he could eat it, especially when he looked at the large leaves, food flashed in his eyes, "Xiao Bai, let's dig some more back, we can save it if we can't finish it. ."
"it is good."
So, the two began to dig sweet potatoes here, and the audience in the live broadcast room became excited.
【Is this the discovery of new ingredients? I've never seen this ingredient before, and it doesn't seem to be available in the mall. 】
[Really or not, new ingredients? Impossible, if it is really new ingredients, such a large piece, the Plantation Research Institute should have discovered it long ago, how could it be possible to get a contestant in a food competition? 】
[I don't care if it's a new ingredient, as long as I can eat it, I can! 】
[If my sister can, then my sister can too, just wait for Xiaobai to make new food. 】
