The road to the desert is not easy to walk, because there are no people going back and forth, and the ground is full of weeds and gravel.
The border patrol had to slow down to prevent the horses from falling and getting injured. Although it was delayed a little longer, it didn't matter.
When it got dark, they camped temporarily in an open space. They didn't need Wang Sheng's instructions at all, and their soldiers consciously took precautions.
Because they had just started on the road, they still had a lot of dry food purchased in the border town, so everyone ate it with water around the campfire.
Qin Bai returned to the military tent alone. This time he found the most remote location to set up camp.
There are two huge rocks blocking the edge of his military tent, so no matter how loud the movement is, he is not afraid of being discovered by others.
Then Qin Bai took out a folding wooden table from the fish bag, held the table with both hands, and his expression became serious.
He planned to try making the newly learned dishes. Although he had memorized the contents of the three cookbooks, in fact he still needed some practice to fully master them.
Qin Bai thought of those exotic dishes, and sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little pressure, which he had never experienced before when facing a demon.
After thinking for a moment, he took out the cooking equipment from the fish bag.
The first is the induction cooker, which is pure white in color and is no different from ordinary induction cookers.
However, the energy source is a battery the size of a fingernail. One battery is enough to last for more than half a month, and the price is not expensive in the points mall.
Of course, there are solar-powered induction cookers, but it was hard for Qin Bai to imagine himself carrying an induction cooker under the sun.
For the pots, he chose non-stick pots. These are not expensive. With his points, it is more than enough to even open a kitchen supplies store.
Then Qin Bai began a long period of mental decision-making. He sat in the middle of the military tent and took out the recipe.
Even if this recipe has not been opened, it still reveals an evil nature. No matter how effective the dishes in the recipe are, curiosity is inevitable.
Fortunately, Qin Bai chose another cookbook to offset the side effects of the **recipe.
This cookbook is called Chinese Cuisine, and the characteristics of the dishes in it are that color, aroma, and fragrance are brought to the extreme, and can even make luminous dishes.
Qin Bai decided to make one of the dishes with fish as the main ingredient. Its effect was to slightly increase lung capacity and temporarily gain the ability to breathe underwater.
He took out a fresh river fish from the fish bag, because he bought all kinds of fish and put it in when he was in Suzhou City, so he could save some points.
The fish chosen is carp the size of a finger. The fish bag has the function of keeping fish fresh. When they are taken out, they are so fresh that you can even see their eyes moving.
Qin Bai skillfully scraped off the fish scales, then opened the belly of the fish and took out the internal organs. Then he removed the fish head and put the fish body aside alone.
Boil water.
The fish body was thrown into the pot, ginger and scallion cooking wine was added to remove the fishy smell, and a small amount of salt and pepper were added to season.
He slowly stirred the soup, trying to ensure that the essence of the fish was incorporated into it. When the aroma gradually dissipated, he filtered out the fish in the soup.
The next step was the most important. Qin Bai bought a special mold, put the fish heads into it, and then poured the cooled soup into the mold.
After a while, the fish scalp jelly was finished.
Qin Bai looked at the crystal clear skin in his palm, with a fish head inside. He could feel an inexplicable aura coming from it.
It means that this dish has been successful. As long as you eat it, you will definitely strengthen your physique. You can even stay in the water for a certain period of time if you carry it with you.
I really have a talent for cooking.
Can………
Will anyone really talk about this thing? !
You must know that the fish head inside is still raw. If you bite it into your mouth, it will be difficult to believe what the picture is like.
"Wait...it can still be remedied."
Qin Bai took out the Chinese recipe book and flipped it over, finally landing on a method of making soup.
"That's it, bouncing turtle soup."
He made it as if he had found a savior. This dish is made by steaming soft-shell turtles in cantaloupe, seasoning with salt and plums, and letting it cool and solidify into a jelly before eating.
It is characterized by its light and elegant taste, which can arouse appetite. In a sense, it is similar to fish scalp jelly.
When the bouncing turtle soup was finished, the aroma suddenly came out, and the crystal clear soup was as bright as a gem.
Even in the military tent where the light is not very bright, there is still a faint fluorescence.
Qin Bai's face showed a confident expression. He cut some more fish heads, and then poured the spring turtle soup into the mold...
In the camp, He Ku was carrying some fodder and looking for the donkey. When he found Qin Bai's tent, the donkey was eating grass not far away.
Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly smelled a refreshing aroma. He swallowed hard after not eating hot food for a long time.
He Wu stood in front of the military tent and hesitated whether to go in. Qin Bai happened to walk out of it. When the latter saw him, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly invited him in.
"What's wrong, Brother Qin..." Although He Ku didn't know why, he felt faintly afraid in his heart.
"Come and try my cooking. It tastes very good."
Qin Bai hugged his shoulders and pulled him down to the table without giving him a chance to resist.
"It's my honor to taste Brother Qin's cooking..."
He stopped before he finished speaking. He Wu opened his eyes wide and looked at the fish scalp jelly on the plate in disbelief.
If you just look at the appearance, these skin jelly looks like yellowish amber, but why are there fish heads inside that are still looking dead?
"Suddenly I remembered that I have something else to do. Brother Qin, please say goodbye." He was desperate for life and tried his best to get out.
"Just taste it."
"But this fish is still raw..."
He Wu took another look, and suddenly goosebumps appeared: "I wiped it, its eyes are still moving, Brother Qin, are you kidding?"
"No, I'm serious."
Qin Bai's expression became serious. He finally found a guinea pig, and he couldn't let him run away like this.
"Close your eyes and I'll feed you."
Why did she have to close her eyes under his threatening gaze, but there were glistening tears in the corners of her eyes.
Qin Bai picked up a piece of fish scalp jelly with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, then looked at the other person expectantly.
"How is the taste?"
“It tastes pretty good.”
But I am no longer me.
He Ku is not talking nonsense. As he chews, the skin jelly turns into juice and stimulates the taste buds, while the fresh fish head makes the taste a little sweeter.
But when he felt the fish head moving slightly in his mouth, two lines of tears rolled down his face.
Qin Bai also received feedback from the system, and his heart suddenly lifted.
