Real Cthulhu Running Game - #2349 - Chapter 2290: Raise troops to investigate
If you want to hold on, you must prepare fire oil, because humans are still animals after all, so it is normal for animals to be afraid of fire.
What’s more, as a group of players from the real world, Liu Xing and others still prefer to eat stir-fried vegetables, and stir-fried vegetables are definitely indispensable for oil!
Stir-fried food without oil is stir-fried food without soul!
So when collecting various materials in Tianshui Town, Liu Xing specially asked Baihecheng and others to buy a lot of rapeseed oil, and also prepared a cool warehouse for the rapeseed oil. For this purpose, he even dug a A big hole.
Unfortunately, the pit was dug a little too big, so the rapeseed oil Baihecheng and others bought only filled one-third of the space.
It seems that the warehouse can be filled up this time.
As a result, Liu Xing and others continued to set off, and the young men, after handing over their weapons, began to follow the convoy in a nonchalant manner. It seemed that they were not yet sure whether they wanted to join the convoy and betray the Yu family. Second son.
It seems that they were living a pretty good life when they were playing tricks on the second son of the Yu family, so even if they knew that when they returned to Yu Yue at this time, they would most likely be given a severe lesson by Yu Yue. After a meal, I still couldn’t bear to choose to leave.
interesting.
Liu Xing, who was sitting in the carriage, smiled and said to Yue Shao beside him: “By the way, is there anything else worth mentioning about the Yu family? Do you need me to make any preparations?”
“Oh, the Yu family is just an ordinary merchant family. They have been in the oil business for several generations. If the Xinlong Empire were replaced by an island country, the head of the Yu family would be called the Oil Seller. “
Yue Shao said nonchalantly: “If I remember correctly, the Yu family has been in Feihu City for a hundred or two hundred years, and their business has grown from one shop to five shops, spread across Feihu City. These are the five directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest of Hucheng, so if ordinary people in Feihu City want to buy oil, they will basically go to the Yu family; but as you know, leader, this ancient cooking method is quite fuel-efficient. Ordinary People basically eat stewed or boiled vegetables, or some steamed vegetables, and if they want to have a toothpaste, they eat barbecue, so they don’t use much oil all year round.”
“That’s true. In the first few days when I entered this module, I basically ate all kinds of stews at home. The staple food was steamed buns and stuffed buns, or just all kinds of noodles. You know, I’m in the real world. But I’m a southerner, so I always feel a little uncomfortable if I don’t eat rice.”
Liu Xing couldn’t help complaining: “Fortunately, we have a canteen belonging to the players in Tianshui Town, so now we can cook some stir-fry or something, but because the rapeseed oil and lard we bought are not too much, let us You can’t cook stir-fried vegetables every day! But having said that, eating like this is quite healthy, and it makes me feel like I’ve lost some weight during this martial arts module.”
“There is no way. Although in the background setting of this martial arts module, even ordinary people will not lack food and clothing, but they are still a bit stretched when it comes to cooking oil, because in ancient times, cooking oil was also divided into two categories. Animals and plants; among them, animal fats are mainly lard, supplemented by cattle and sheep. But the problem is that the number of these pigs, cattle and sheep is not enough, not to mention that the pigs, cattle and sheep these days are not like Similar species in the real world can grow meat so much, so most people can only buy some meat to eat during holidays, and the amount of animal fats they can get each time is not much.”
Yue Shao suddenly became energetic and said seriously: “Actually, I studied veterinary medicine in the real world, but I entered the Cthulhu Running Group game hall on the day I just graduated! I submitted several resumes at that time, so Early the next morning, when I was still in a daze, I saw a pop-up window on my phone asking me if I wanted to accept the invitation. I definitely chose to accept the invitation without hesitation, and then I came to Grameen inexplicably. Sulu Running Group Game Hall, but the good thing is that I don’t need to perform lychee surgery on those cute pigs.”
Liu Xing looked at Yue Shao with some surprise. Unexpectedly, this person was studying veterinary medicine. This is a talent in short supply in Tianshui Town!
Today’s Tianshui Town really lacks such a veterinarian. To be precise, it is a serious professional veterinarian, because there are still several veterinarians with two knives. For example, many employees of the Bai Family Ranch know a little bit about veterinarians. Knowledge, but only a little bit.
More importantly, Tianshui Town has also purchased a lot of various types of poultry and livestock during this period, so many players are worried about whether there will be any big problems with so many chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep crowded together. ?
You must know that even a layman like Liu Xing knows that in a regular pig farm in the real world, employees are basically the same as sailors on ocean-going ships. Every time they enter the workplace, they have to stay in the pig farm, unless they encounter a situation. If there is an emergency, you will definitely not be able to go out, because every time you go out, you may bring something back, which will turn the pig farm into a farm.
What about the pig?
It’s all gone!
And this is not the point. The point is that the employees of the pig farm cannot eat pork when they go home for the holidays, because eating pork from other places may also cause the same consequences. This shows that pig farming is not a one-stop shop. It’s an easy thing, even if the pigs look easy to feed, they can eat whatever they feed them.
Sure enough, the ancestors would conclude that if the family has a lot of wealth, it does not count the hairy ones, because as long as there is a little problem, everything will be wiped out.
Therefore, Liu Xing and others were also worried that the food reserves they had finally bought would disappear overnight. After all, these chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep all came from different places, so it was possible that Will affect each other!
Therefore, Liu Xing had previously asked Meng Fugui to find some serious professional veterinarians to come back, because “Meng Fugui” was somewhat famous in Boyang City, and places like taverns and teahouses were always full of talkative people. So even if there is no veterinarian among the customers, they may know one.
Good thing now, the veterinarian comes directly to your door, and this is a leading version of the new veterinarian.
So Liu Xing quickly sent an invitation to Yue Shao, hoping that he could serve as the chief veterinarian in Tianshui Town. “Well, didn’t I go to Sweetwater Town to be the security captain? Why did I become a veterinarian?”
Yue Shao touched the back of his head and said with a smile: “But I also think that the alliance needs a professional veterinarian like me, because the current situation in Tianshui Town is indeed a bit bad. After all, even in the real world, there are many professional and technological There will still be various problems in modernized breeding farms, and the final result will most likely be a loss of money. It feels like if nothing happens for three years, you will lose three years if something happens; and now something is going to happen in Tianshui Town. There are signs, because you also mentioned, leader, that these poultry and livestock come from different places, so they are likely to affect each other.”
“Leader, you should also have heard that there is a metaphysics in computers – gray power balance. That is to say, some computers are used well in normal times, but after a dust removal, various problems appear! Logically speaking, the computer should be It must be a good thing to get rid of all the dust in the computer, because there is not much dust in the new computer; and my teacher in college also mentioned a very mysterious thing, that is, some farms look a bit dirty. It was messy, but nothing would happen all year round. As a result, after a round of cleaning, there was nothing left in the farm.”
Hearing what Yue Shao said, Liu Xing also nodded and said: “It’s like someone has popularized the idea that the protagonist of a time travel novel should be a soul traveler, because if the whole person travels through the past, then this person is likely to become An ordinary-looking super host will suffer disaster wherever it goes; this is because we humans carry some dirty things with us, but we have all become accustomed to the existence of these dirty things, so these dirty things are to us There will be no problem, but for people from other worlds, these dirty things that have never been seen before are a scourge.”
“That’s right, farms in different places generally don’t visit each other, because after going there, they are likely to bring back some invisible and intangible things, so if a certain farm wants to raise some new livestock , would only choose one supplier if possible.”
Yue Shao touched his chin, nodded and said: “Leader, I’m going to write a list now, and you can send two more people to Feihu City to purchase everything, because I have to accompany you to Yu’s house. After all, Yu Qie and I are considered My friend, it will be much more convenient for me to be the middleman! Although Yu’s oil is basically vegetable oil and does not taste as good as animal oil, it is enough for us.”
“No problem, just write down everything you can use. We still have this little money.”
Liu Xing found a pen and paper from the side, handed it to Yue Shao and said, “By the way, I remember that the oil yield rate of this rapeseed is not very high, it seems to be about 30%, and this is using modern machinery. As a result, if the oil is extracted using the ancient method, the oil yield would be about half less, right? In addition, the oil extraction using the ancient method is also time-consuming and labor-intensive, so the price of rapeseed oil should be very expensive, right?”
“Well, it’s quite expensive, because the price per kilogram of the rapeseed oil that the Yu family sells to Yueshan City is almost the same as five kilograms of flour, and these are all refined flour! So even our Yue family doesn’t dare to Let’s stop eating fried dough sticks because the cost of these fried dough sticks is really outrageous.” Yue Shao nodded.
“Ah? I think the cost of fried dough sticks shouldn’t be too high, otherwise it wouldn’t be possible for it to become a breakfast snack on par with steamed buns in ancient times?” Liu Xing asked doubtfully.
“The price of fried dough sticks can be high or low, it depends on how you use the oil.”
At this time, Bai Hecheng, who was working as a groom for Liu Xing, suddenly said: “If you are willing, this pot of oil can theoretically be used over and over again for half a month. Of course, you have to filter the impurities every day! And if you If you are really not afraid of something happening, then you don’t need to change this pot of oil within a month! But how can I put it, this is what we modern people say, because ancient people didn’t know so much, so when they used oil, it was like Just like making old noodles and steamed buns, treat this pot of oil like the ship of Theseus, that is, if you feel that the oil is a little low, just add it directly. In theory, this fried dough stick seller will only use this pot of oil in his life.”
“Well, that seems to be the case.”
Liu Xing touched the back of his head, shook his head and said: “So this is the fearlessness of those who don’t know. As long as I don’t know what problems there will be, I can do it with peace of mind, and the customers won’t think there is any problem.” . In this case, the cost can indeed be kept very low, right?”
“Yes, but our Yue family are all decent people, so when making fried dough sticks, a pot of oil can only be used once. No, it should be said that no matter what you do, after you make it, besides the pots and pans Everything has to be thrown away. If you use it a second time and let outsiders know, why don’t you laugh at our Yue family for not having that strength?”
Yue Shao shook his head and said: “So after I stayed in the Yue family for more than a month, I felt that the life in the Yue family was really awkward, and it was a bit too pretentious! No matter what you do, you must pay attention to presentation, and in doing so Although the price will not break the Yue family’s muscles and bones, it will still make them feel distressed for several days. Fortunately, the Yue family now has no competitors. Otherwise, I can’t imagine what kind of downfall they will be in. I’m afraid it will be worse than in the TV series. Are those princes in the country even more miserable?”
Liu Xing smiled, and then thought of something, “By the way, Lao Yue, you should have some friends in Feihu City, right? Or people who know your identity, so you can use the name of the Yue family to buy Something? You also know what will happen next. As long as it is useful, the more the better for our alliance.”
Yue Shao nodded without hesitation and said confidently: “Leader, don’t worry, my reputation is still very good in Feihu City, so after we go to Yu’s house, I will go to other places to help the alliance buy Stuff! If the convoy is in a hurry, leader, just leave a few people for me. I’ll chase you after I’ve bought the stuff.”
Liu Xing shook his head and replied: “It’s not urgent. If nothing happens, we should be able to reach Feihu City before dark. Then we will have to wait until the next day to set off, so Lao Yue, you still have time to go For business.”
Since we had something to do and we would be arriving at Feihu City soon, the team just took out some dry food for lunch. So around five o’clock in the afternoon, the team arrived at Feihu City.
Liu Xing ordered Xu Bin and others to stay and guard the convoy, and asked Dong Qing to take two people to buy the things Yue Shao wanted. Then he took a few people to Yujia to investigate the crime.
To be on the safe side, Liu Xing must have brought Miao Fei and Wu Ji with him.
