Chapter 58 Food Problems

[Damn it! What is wrong with this damn company? It's okay to work overtime every day, but eating employee meals can also send you to the hospital! ]

[Brother upstairs, I went to the store downstairs today and had a bowl of cold long hair, and it also had problems... It was fine when I ate it yesterday. The female store owner said that she had washed her hair carefully in the past few days and there would be no health problems. She even tried to blackmail me. ]

[Our cafeteria suddenly closed today. The employee meals that were originally contracted ended up delivering ingredients instead. But those ingredients looked like pieces of dried rotten meat, and the meat looked like it was covered with a layer of ink. After some inquiries, I found out that the meat couldn't be eaten directly. ]

[Many snack bars nearby were closed, and only a few were still open, but I heard from many posts that those shops were problematic and I died when I tried them...]

[What's going on? Why did this happen suddenly? Can I still play games happily? ]

[Is there any safe food source now? Please tell me! ]

[It seems that only food traded with players is safe, especially for players who have unlocked the chef profession. I heard that there is a leader in the rankings whose sugar-roasted chestnuts are quite delicious, but the price is quite expensive. It seems to be called "Chen Ye"? ]

[Now, I don't care whether it is expensive or not, let's save our lives first...]

Ding ding ding!

In Chen Ye's list, a list of requests for trades kept popping up.

Unexpectedly, due to the recent food problems, Chen Ye's sugar-roasted chestnuts became a small hit in the forum for a while.

Many players came here to invite him to trade.

"There is such a thing..."

Now, Chen Ye finally knew why there were so many customers suddenly. It turned out that the food source in this world suddenly became less safe.

The newly arrived players can basically adapt to their current identities and survive by role-playing.

They have stable jobs, and some players even have their own social relationships at the beginning, and can get basic survival supplies through currency transactions or welfare systems.

Those who are lucky can experience the feeling of the second generation of the rich relying on their parents, or "rich women are hungry".

Of course, it is unknown whether the rich women in this world can be enjoyed by ordinary players...

Now the problem comes!

The originally stable food source suddenly has problems at this moment.

In serious cases, they have even eaten into the hospital. This is a weird era!

God knows what kind of doctors in the hospital are, what kind of patients will be encountered by the bedside when hospitalized, what will emerge in the unknown environment, and what kind of treatment will be faced...

"So, these players have come to me to trade, because there have been frequent problems with food recently?"

Chen Ye suddenly realized why the aura of luck above his head was lingering with "Xuanhuang" and "Mohei".

Xuanhuang means wealth.

Mohei means disaster.

Recently, this city may have a disaster related to food. In the future, the value of safe and healthy food will continue to rise.

And I have the profession of [Chef], which can make sugar-roasted chestnuts.

Therefore, the meaning of "Xuanhuang" and "Mohei" interweaving is not to seek wealth in danger, but to make a fortune from disaster.

However...

In the three-color ring, there is still a "blue" meaning that has not been solved.

Combining the above information, could it be that the source of pollution comes from the lower reaches of the Xijiang River?

Faced with the transaction information that keeps popping up in the list, Chen Ye did not rashly choose to trade.

He calmly made an analysis: "At present, the entire city of the Weird Era has pollution problems. It is not necessarily the ingredients themselves, but may come from outside..."

According to a poster on the forum, he has been in a "Luofa Changfen Shop" downstairs these days, tasting the signature cold long hair in the shop.

The shop owner who uses hair as an ingredient has similarities with Miss Squirrel Fish--

I am the ingredient itself.

Generally, if you can open a shop with this ability, there will be no problems with the ingredients.

So where does the pollution come from?

The answer is simple: water!

Although the cold-mixed method is used, many methods of making ingredients require water.

So, it provides the possibility of pollution.

It just happens to be linked to the speculation that the lower reaches of the Xijiang River are the source of pollution and are related to water.

But...

What puzzled Chen Ye was that the son of the sea god was so confident about the pollution yesterday, and there was no sign of pollution upstream on the other side of the dam. So where did the pollution penetrate from?

Continuing to read the posts, Chen Ye found that the pollution was widespread, and some players said that the food they ate was normal and had no adverse reactions.

Chen Ye carefully noted down the group of players who had no problems. Sometimes he could judge from the posts they usually sent that most of their locations were distributed near the Xijiang River.

On the contrary, some players who lived in the city and were far away from the Xijiang River were prone to food problems.

This made people feel puzzled!

Obviously, the Xijiang River was the source of the infection, so why were the infected people far away from the Xijiang River?

The clues seemed to be interrupted here...

"Don't rush to trade."

Chen Ye did not choose to use sugar-roasted chestnuts for the time being, and quickly exchanged them for copper coins with all the players.

This is indeed a chance to make a fortune.

But the problem is that once you make money, you may not be able to buy safe ingredients.

If there is a food disaster in this city next, even if there are still normal ingredients, the difficulty of obtaining them will increase significantly!

One-third of the large bag of "pine cones" I got in exchange for it from Miss Squirrel Fish has now been used.

Facing so many players...

The supply of goods on hand may not be enough.

Moreover, since we realize that there may be catastrophic food problems in the future, we must keep more ingredients for ourselves in case of emergency.

The method of stir-frying chestnuts with sugar is to stir-fry them under the high temperature of a roaring fire. There is basically no need to add water.

If the source of the pollution does come from water, it will not have any impact on the sugar-fried chestnuts made by Chen Ye.

Therefore, pine cones are currently the most suitable ingredient. They can make A-grade gourmet roasted chestnuts. Just one can fill you up for a day, and they also have the ability to quickly restore the body.

Think of this.

Chen Ye hurried to the east gate of Xining Alley and arrived at the door of Miss Squirrel Fish's shop just before dark.

Warm yellow light shines from the window next to it, and you can faintly hear the sound of "clicking, clicking" chewing inside, as if something is gnawing at the bones of an animal.

Chen Ye came to the door and knocked politely three times: "Miss Squirrel Fish, are you here?"

Squeak!

The window opened, and Miss Squirrel Fish's face suddenly pressed against the window door. Her bloated, sarcoma-like face almost filled the entire window.

"I want to buy ten pounds of pine cones. How much does one pound cost?" Chen Ye touched the copper coins in his pocket.

Miss Squirrelfish hesitated for a moment, then shook her back, and five pine cones fell down.

"Five copper coins per pound?" Chen Ye asked uncertainly.

It wasn't until Miss Squirrel Fish struggled to squeeze out a little space with her plump neck and nodded that Chen Ye counted fifty copper coins and handed them over in exchange for ten kilograms of pine cones.

At this time, Chen Ye's personal assets were left with "575" copper coins.

"Now, I shouldn't have to worry about supplies for a while."

Carrying a bag full of pine cones, he returned to his place of residence in a wandering posture.

At this moment, the figure of the old man Erhu finally returned here.

suddenly.

Chen Ye found that behind the old man Erhu, there were more than a dozen buckets placed side by side along the low tile wall, all filled with water.
