Chapter 113 Miraculous Mutated Beast Meat and Saltpeter
Back in the treehouse, the three beasts in the house are playing around.
When Xu Xin came back yesterday, she placed the [Contaminated Radiation Stone (Blue)] obtained from the dungeon next to the statue of the beast. Under the influence of this stone, the strength of Silver King and Mimi could slowly increase even in the tree house.
Most of the day has passed, and it's time to make a meal.
"You two," Xu Xin felt that she couldn't afford to feed Silver King and Mimi. The appetite of these two guys was too much. "How about you go out to hunt by yourself?"
Hunting ordinary beasts outside is easy for these two mutated beasts, and the success rate can reach 100%.
"Ouch!" Silver King responded in agreement, and Mimi also stood beside Silver King.
Xu Xin took them to the tree house and told them that he would come down to pick them up if they called when they came back, and then returned to the tree house.
Naturally, Coco would not go hunting with the two mutated beasts. It had long developed the habit of eating Xu Xin's food. It was probably because it had never eaten cooked food before. Every time it ate barbecue, it tasted delicious and its mouth was full of oil.
"Let's cook vegetables today!" Xu Xin touched Coco's little head.
"Huh?" Coco tilted her head, not knowing what stir-fry was.
Xu Xin first looked at the trading platform to see if there were condiments such as onions, ginger, and garlic. After searching for a long time, he actually found shallots and shallot seeds. He bought it immediately and planted shallot seeds in his top-floor planter.
Came to the kitchen. He lit the stove, put some wild animal meat in some oil, shredded the lotus root with a washed boning knife, and cut some wild boar tenderloin slices. Xu Xin started his fried lotus root meat.
Put the tenderloin into the pot and stir-fry until it is half cooked, add the chopped green onion and stir-fry evenly, then add the shredded lotus root and stir-fry evenly. Finally, sprinkle with salt, stir-fry twice and take it out of the pan. A simple stir-fried lotus root meat is complete. !
Although there was no soy sauce for coloring, the color of the meat slices felt a little off, but Xu Xin didn't care. This was the first stir-fried dish he had eaten in this world!
Eating barbecued fruit every day, he felt like he was about to degenerate into a Yuanmou man.
Coco was attracted by the aroma, and wanted to climb up to the stove more than once to have a look. Xu Xin carried her down more than once, fearing that it would be burned. Finally, it climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulder and witnessed this first scene. The birth of a stir-fry dish.
When the fried lotus root meat was brought to the table, he made a pair of chopsticks and couldn't wait to take one chopstick and put it in his mouth.
The gamey flavor of wild boar, the fragrance of lotus root, and just the right amount of scallion oil aroma and saltiness made Xu Xin intoxicated. It would be better if there is ginger, garlic and soy oyster sauce.
"Uh-huh!" Keke looked at the dish and couldn't start. Seeing that Xu Xin had already started eating, she suddenly tugged at Xu Xin anxiously.
Xu Xin felt something aroused in her heart and handed the chopsticks in her hand to Coco.
"Huh?" Coco held a chopstick in each little paw and tilted her little head.
Just when Xu Xin laughed out loud and wanted to take the chopsticks to feed it, he was surprised to find that Coco was clumsily manipulating the chopsticks with his two little paws, and handed the picked vegetables to his mouth.
A red panda uses chopsticks. This scene is really strange, and Xu Xin was stunned for two seconds.
But looking at Cocoa enjoying herself, Xu Xin smiled and shook his head, made another pair of chopsticks, and brought the grill over at the same time.
He wants to eat roasted rat meat!
That's right, rat meat obtained from rats killed in the underground maze. The introduction says that it is a rare delicacy.
Now that I have come to this world, I naturally want to try everything. And the most important thing is that he has never eaten the meat of mutant beasts. He wants to see how the meat of these low-level mutant beasts that can be eaten is different from ordinary beast meat.
After the rat meat is decomposed, you can't actually tell what kind of meat it is, so there is no psychological barrier. Xu Xin sliced the meat and grilled it on the grill while eating his fried lotus root meat.
Gradually, the extremely rich fragrance spread in the tree house, and even Coco, who had been struggling with the chopsticks in his hands, stopped and looked at the meat on the grill.
"Is it so fragrant?" Xu Xin swallowed, "Isn't it too fragrant? This taste is even more fragrant than the original blue-level bear paw!"
The meat on the grill was sizzling and oily, and the aroma of fat was simply irresistible. Xu Xin felt like she couldn't help but salivate.
Unexpectedly, although the meat of intermediate mutant beasts was contaminated and inedible, the meat of low-level mutant beasts would be so delicious!
Xu Xin used chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat that was still sizzling with oil, blew on it, and put it into his mouth.
The extremely rich aroma exploded in his mouth, and even made Xu Xin feel that all the meat he had eaten in the first half of his life was garbage. The plate of fried wild boar meat with lotus root in front of him suddenly lost its aroma.
Moreover, after swallowing this mouthful of meat, he felt a trace of warmth flowing in his limbs. Although this feeling was very weak compared to the effect of the blue-level bear paw, he was still aware of it.
"Can the meat of low-level mutated beasts also enhance strength?" Xu Xin was shocked. This function is simply too powerful! You know, this is green grade meat.
Now that most people have just left the dungeon for less than a day, there is a large amount of mutated beast meat on the trading platform. This kind of green-level resource at your fingertips can actually enhance your strength!
He immediately ate a few more pieces, and this time the feeling was more obvious.
"Uh-huh!" Keke kept smelling the aroma of the meat and couldn't wait any longer, so she anxiously walked around the grill. Xu Xin gave a small half to Coco, and ate all the remaining mutated rat meat.
His whole body felt warm. Although it was not as immediate as the bear's paw, he felt that his body was slowly changing. If you eat it for a long time, it will definitely improve your physical fitness steadily!
He immediately regretted not killing the toad and not killing several mutant beasts from the testing site and bringing them out. You must know that most of the mutant beasts were left underground and locked in the dungeon with the flooded exit.
What a waste, what a waste! Xu Xin was heartbroken.
Xu Xin thought of the pigs, cattle and sheep in the hilly resource area, and he had even started planning to breed them. If he mutates a few cattle and sheep and tames them in captivity, he should be able to directly breed low-level mutated beasts. However, it is unlikely at this stage. These frequent activities leave him with no free time to breed. Maybe it will be possible in the future.
But this kind of meat can bring long-term benefits to the body, and it must be included in the daily diet!
There was no shortage of mutated beast meat in the past three days. The survivors had just returned from the dungeon and could just buy it directly on the trading platform. But green-level meat will deteriorate. After these three days, if you still want to eat it, you can only hunt and kill new mutated beasts, or use mutated potions to get one yourself.
At present, except for the mutated loach in that lake, Xu Xin has not seen other low-level mutated beasts on the ground. The meat of the intermediate mutated beasts summoned from the altar is gray grade and cannot be eaten. It can only be used to make mutations. Potion.
I don’t know if the group of loaches are still in the lake or if they have gone back underground.
But even if they were still in the lake, Xu Xin didn't seem to have a good way to catch them. They can even make holes in rocks and are extremely destructive. It is impossible to use them as fishing tools to catch them. Contaminated meat is useless, and the poison cannot kill them. Maybe we can only use explosives, electric fish, etc. Only way to deal with them.
If you use mutation potion, you have to consume one mutation potion every three days, which is too wasteful.
Alas, I don’t know when there will be a way to preserve food.
At this time, the watch vibrated. Xu Xin raised his hand and saw that it was Li Wenxi who had sent him a message.
"What is the use of saltpeter?"
Xu Xin was still in a state of distress. When he saw this sentence, his eyes widened: "Fuck!"
Li Wenxi: "What are you doing? What's wrong? Is saltpeter useful?"
What is this called? This is called getting whatever you want! He was just thinking about how to store meat for a long time when saltpeter came.
She is indeed a rich woman with a mine at home! You can even find saltpeter mines!
Xu Xin made a direct voice call.
"Have you found a saltpeter mine? Is there a lot of it?" Xu Xin asked directly.
"Well, it's enough anyway." Li Wenxi answered ambiguously, and then asked curiously, "I heard that saltpeter can be used as explosives, right?"
It can indeed make explosives, but the most important sulfur has not been obtained yet. The explosives cannot be made. Moreover, Xu Xin has not seen the formula of explosives on the production list. Even if there is sulfur, he cannot make it. Let him prepare it himself. , which is basically a waste of precious time.
But saltpeter can make ice and can be used as a refrigerator!
Saltpeter can be used for refrigeration as long as it is dissolved in water, and it can be reused by simply precipitating and drying it, so there is basically no need to replenish it. The mere fact that it can preserve food at low temperatures is very extraordinary.
You know, on earth, according to the national standards stipulated by Xu Xin's country, the freezing period of frozen meat cannot exceed 12 months. In other words, frozen meat that is less than 12 months old may not taste good, but there is no big problem.
Frozen meat can be stored for a year!
Xu Xin immediately explained the functions of saltpeter to Li Wenxi.
"Can it also be refrigerated? That's great!" Li Wenxi was also very surprised after hearing this. "In the past, so much meat could only be stored for two or three days before it went stinky, and it couldn't be exchanged for anything good if it was sold. Now it can finally be stored. ! ”
"Well, is your mine close to the tree house?" Xu Xin knew that Li Wenxi did not have the ability to trade on the spot and needed to carry the ore back to the tree house first. It would be inconvenient if it was too far away.
"It's very far. It's next to the black gold mine. I came here to mine the black gold mine, but I accidentally discovered that there is a saltpeter mine next to it. Alas, the mine is too far away. It is really inconvenient to have to walk long distances every time. I've been carrying the ore for more than an hour after mining, and I haven't even returned to the tree house yet. I'm so bored, so I came to chat with you," Li Wenxi said helplessly.
I accidentally discovered a saltpeter mine...I believe you.
This little rich woman is becoming more and more unabashed about Xu Xin.
However, she probably saw that Xu Xin had already guessed what special abilities she had, so she was so indifferent. (End of chapter)
