[The Quanzhi Mine in the north of the town has been opened. You can go there and have a look, maybe you will get something! 】
Qin Lin controlled the game character to go to the announcement board and got the prompt.
Mining is also a feature of several older versions of Harvest Story. Many players even mine instead of growing vegetables or raising livestock.
A lot of things may be excavated on each level of the mine, ranging from gold, silver, and copper mines to slightly fantasy things like special fruits and flying stones. The higher the level, the better the things you can dig out.
Qin Lin immediately controlled the game character to leave the town, returned to the ranch, picked up the digging tools, and went directly to the location of the Spring Mine.
He had visited this mine before by controlling a game character, but it was not open and could not be entered.
This time the game character entered the mine directly.
With anticipation, Qin Lin began to control the game character to dig in the mine.
In this new version of the mobile game, the mine only has open space for mining, and where there are rocks, the rocks must be broken into pieces before mining can be done.
Qin Lin spent a long time digging in the open area, but it didn't take long to get the game prompt:
[Congratulations on getting the silver ore! 】
…
[Congratulations on getting the copper ore! 】
Obviously, the ores in this mine are not difficult to dig. Unfortunately, these ores cannot be taken out for processing. They can only be sold in the game, which increases the source of game gold coins.
Soon, the game character found the entrance to the second floor.
Qin Lin tried to control the game character to enter level 2, and got another prompt:
[The current character level cannot enter the next level! 】
Qin Lin frowned slightly.
Is this also a restriction?
Compared with several older versions, the new version of the mobile game has restrictions everywhere.
However, although this reduces a lot of freedom, it adds a way to unlock and upgrade.
For a player, this kind of unlocking and upgrading will naturally make the game more fun and have a sense of accomplishment.
But for Qin Lin, if he had known he would get this system, he would have played the old version at that time, so wouldn't he have taken off earlier?
The key is what if? If he had known he would get this system, why would he play Harvest Moon? Just go ahead and play "Dragon Ball Super", why don't you break the universe now?
Nothing was dug in the open space, and he could not enter the next level. He could only control the game character to use a hammer to smash the stones, and then control the game character to dig.
Just after the first stone was broken and excavated, a prompt to obtain items appeared in the game:
[Congratulations on getting a common puzzle stone. Do you want to decipher the information above? 】
"The stone slab of mystery?" Qin Lin showed surprise.
The Mysterious Slate is a prop that appears in some versions of Harvest Moon.
There is a lot of information recorded on the Mysterious Stone Tablet, such as some special formulas or the location information of some special things.
But in this new version of the mobile game, the Mysterious Stones seem to be divided into levels. If there are ordinary Mysterious Stones, there must be higher-level Mysterious Stones.
Qin Lin immediately controlled the game character to decipher the information on the Mysterious Stone Tablet.
[The stone slab of mystery is being cracked...]
Soon, I got another prompt:
[Congratulations on getting the special recipe: the secret technique for making tomato sauce! 】
Qin Lin didn't expect to open such a thing.
Everyone knows that ketchup is a common thing in life, and it is even one of the must-have items in many families and restaurants.
But what's the use of this thing? After all, there are so many ketchup brands online, and many home-made ketchup recipes are published directly online.
Some home versions can be made by yourself using the tools at home, but the recipes are different and the taste of the resulting tomato sauce is different.
However, this product produced by the game also added the word "secret recipe", and Qin Lin was somewhat looking forward to it.
It can’t be that the formulas produced by the game are the same as those common formulas in life!
Thinking of this, Qin Lin entered the game again and saw the specific information of the 'secret recipe technology for making ketchup'.
[Secret recipe technology for making tomato sauce: Quality 1]
[This is a secret recipe technology for making tomato sauce. It records a delicious tomato sauce making method. After game research, it is very delicious. It can make quality 1 tomato sauce with sweet and sour taste, which can meet everyone's taste. 】
The way of noting information seems to be different from that of crops and fish, and no specific data is displayed.
Just as he was thinking about it, another information prompt appeared in his mind:
[After use, you can get the specific formula content and whether to use it. 】
Qin Lin decisively chose to use it.
In an instant, pieces of information appeared in his mind out of thin air, deeply imprinted in it, and firmly remembered, as if he had made this kind of ketchup countless times.
This feeling is amazing.
That information is the secret recipe of tomato sauce, including the ingredients and the specific proportions of each ingredient.
To be precise, there are two secret recipes, namely sweet and sour and spicy and sour, to cater for people with different tastes.
After getting the secret recipe for ketchup, Qin Lin also quit the game and called Zhao Moqing in the lobby: "Moqing, buy me some things... tomatoes, white sugar, lemon, pepper... and three herbs... …”
Hearing Qin Lin report some information, Zhao Moqing asked in surprise: "Qin Lin, are you going to make ketchup?"
Qin Lin said: "Well, you can help me buy some brand of ketchup by the way."
Although Zhao Moqing was confused about what Qin Lin was going to do, he quickly brought back the things Qin Lin needed, including tools such as casseroles.
Qin Lin quickly went out to help, taking those things one by one to the yard behind, and asked Chen Dabei to move a table specially.
You can't just make ketchup at the bar in front of everyone.
Chen Dabei naturally does whatever his boss tells him to do. Anyway, he never understands what his boss is going to do.
Qin Lin then ordered to Chen Dabei: "Go and connect the electric heater under the casserole. I will use it later."
"Okay, boss!" Chen Dabei immediately went to find the socket.
Qin Lin also started to take the materials and started working on the table. First, he had to peel the tomatoes. This time he had to steam the tomatoes, and the time had to be controlled.
Then came the proportions of various ingredients. In order to be more accurate, Qin Lin went to the bar to find a light weighing device, making sure to be accurate.
Zhao Moqing was doing something on the side, and asked with a puzzled face: "Qin Lin, why do you want to make tomatoes?"
In fact, she has also made ketchup. She used to make a home version of ketchup with her roommates in the dormitory.
But she had never seen Qin Lin do this before, but Qin Lin looked very skilled.
The key is that there are three medicinal materials that she didn't know could be used to make tomato sauce. Moreover, the proportions are also weighed. Isn't it too particular?
After taking some time to prepare, Chen Dabei connected the electric heat under the casserole and entered the cooking process.
This process is also time-controlled. It takes half a day to make a portion of tomato sauce, and then it is placed in a bottle to cool and ferment for half an hour.
When the tomato sauce was completely made, Qin Lin asked Zhao Moqing and Chen Dabei to try it: "Try it."
Both of them took a small spoon and tasted it.
"Eh!" Chen Dabei was immediately surprised: "Boss, the ketchup you made seems to taste better than the KFC I had last night."
He's not complimenting the boss's craftsmanship, it's indeed delicious.
"Qin Lin, the tomato sauce you made is really delicious." Zhao Moqing also sincerely praised: "Is it because of those ingredients?"
Some of the ingredients she bought before, she never thought they could be put together to make ketchup.
Now it seems to taste really good.
