Qin Bai scooped the glutinous rice balls into bowls. They were immediately steaming and the aroma became more intense. Even the donkey was attracted.
Just when everyone was about to have a feast, they were stopped by Qin Bai. He didn't explain much and went on to boil water.
Because the firewood was dry, the flame was very strong, and the water boiled after a while.
"The glutinous rice balls are steamed first, then scalded with boiling water, and then served after a little scratching."
Hearing what he said, Wang Sheng and others also agreed that the glutinous rice balls were indeed a bit strange when separated from the water.
And it is easier to find water now, but it will be difficult to eat some soup and water in the desert.
Only Gao Xiang's expression was a little strange. He really couldn't understand that Qin Bai had just made an ordinary glutinous rice dumpling for so long.
Qin Bai filled everyone's wooden bowls with soup, and he drank the soup in one gulp from the glutinous rice balls in his hands. This temperature could not scald the body, which was made into steel.
After eating, he felt a slight burning sensation in his eye sockets. The feeling disappeared fleetingly, but when he looked around, his eyes seemed to become faintly clearer.
This dish improves eyesight and has a short-lived night vision effect.
Wang Sheng used chopsticks to pick up the dumplings from the soup and put them into his mouth. As he chewed them gently with his teeth, the soft and glutinous dumpling skin broke open, and the sesame seeds inside exploded.
The taste was so delicious that he couldn't help but chew it a few more times before swallowing it.
"Brother Qin, your cooking skills are second to none..."
Just as Wang Sheng opened his mouth to praise, he suddenly noticed the deathly silence around him. The others were staring at the wooden bowls in their hands, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Seeing this, he subconsciously looked down and froze in place.
Seeing this, Qin Bai explained: "I used skillful carving to shape the glutinous rice balls, and wrapped a layer of tapioca flour on the outside. Even if the tapioca flour is steamed, it will not fall off. But as long as it is soaked in water, everything will appear. .”
The soup in the wooden bowl was a little turbid, but the glutinous rice balls shed their cassava flour disguise and showed their true colors, with the eyes constantly floating and floating, lifelike.
Wang Sheng's face changed slightly. If he saw such a scene directly, he would definitely feel nauseated. But he had just tasted it, and his taste buds told him that it was delicious food, while his eyes spread the opposite signal.
The two feelings conflicted in his mind, making him a little at a loss.
He Wu's eyes lit up. He was not as indecisive as others, so he directly picked up the glutinous rice balls and swallowed them.
As the glutinous rice balls were gradually digested, a wave of heat spread from the stomach to the whole body, and the Zhuang Jin did show signs of loosening.
He glanced at Qin Bai and felt very grateful to him. He had nothing to do in return. The only thing he could do was to eat more.
The blood energy faintly emanating from He Wu's body gradually became stronger, which also surprised the others.
Quantitative changes soon turned into qualitative changes. He stepped from an ordinary martial artist into the realm of Ming Jin. Naturally, the sudden changes could not be concealed.
"Ah He, what are you..." Wang Sheng reacted immediately, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Yes, in fact, this is Brother Qin's good intention. Although the appearance of the dishes is weird, it can arouse the demonic obstacles in the hearts of us warriors. As long as we overcome them, we can make further progress."
Wang Sheng suddenly realized and said: "So that's the case. I'm telling Qin Bai that you can create military food pills. Your cooking skills are definitely not simple. I'm afraid there are medicinal properties in the food."
There were more and more echoes, and the others no longer hesitated. At worst, they would eat with their eyes closed.
After eating this meal of glutinous rice balls, two more soldiers broke through to Mingjin.
Not everyone can break through the realm, but they can still notice the progress of their own energy and blood, and the effect becomes better with mental supplementation.
Just like Zheng Laocai, he has obviously never practiced the Zhuang method. In theory, this dish can only improve his purpose.
But from his mouth, it felt like he had eaten the Shiquan Dabu Decoction, which had added fifty years of strength.
Qin Bai nodded slightly with satisfaction. The sound of unlocking achievements was ringing in his ears. A large number of points were credited to his account, and he was making a lot of money.
For him, the improvement in blood was very little, and he couldn't get used to the taste, so he poured the remaining glutinous rice balls on the steamer with soup and gave them to the donkey.
The donkey didn't care at all that the glutinous rice balls looked weird. He swallowed a few of them with just one roll of his tongue, and soon he bottomed out.
It's just that this scene made the people around him look complicated. The donkey was treated better than them, and judging from the fact that he had put on a lot of fat recently, he probably had to make up for it.
Qin Bai patted its head with some relief. When the trip to the desert was over, his little white mouse would only be a donkey, which was a long-term source of points.
When the time comes, he can consider cooking some dishes that can increase endurance and strength, so that the donkey can eat more, and maybe it can become a strange beast.
The meal went very quickly, and the border patrol's discipline was not fake. After eating, they consciously packed up the camp.
Having been delayed for most of the day, it was natural to hurry up a little while it was still early in the day.
Qin Bai returned to the cart that transported grain and grass and lay down. After this cooking demonstration, his status in the army became higher, and no one would bother him at all.
So Qin Bai simply took out the cookbook and looked through the dishes.
The only pity is that the check-in time is not quite there yet, but I guess it should be almost enough to wait until I have a rest in the evening and make a midnight snack.
He vaguely felt that there might be other variables during the trip to the desert, and it was crucial to escape from the border patrol as soon as possible.
After the team had gone far away, Pang and Yong rode over on horseback.
When they arrived at the temporary camp, Pang Yong jumped off his horse. After looking around, his face turned pale.
Seeing this, Xia Bing hurriedly dismounted and came to his side and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's already getting late, but we are setting off in a hurry at this time. You can see that the bonfire is still warm, which means that we just left not long ago. There must be a reason."
After Pang Yong analyzed it, he became more and more anxious. He was about to get on his horse and continue on his way, but was stopped by Xia Bing.
"Wait, that's a little weird."
She walked to Qin Bai's military tent in the camp and took out the compass.
This time, no blood was needed, and the compass needle spun so fast that it was so shaken that he almost fell out of his hand.
"Has the demon appeared?" Pang Yong asked quickly. He subconsciously put his right hand on the saber at his waist, and at the same time, his eyes alertly searched for any abnormalities nearby.
"Not only has he appeared, but he has also been fighting here."
After Xia Bing finished speaking in a deep voice, there was only a clang sound and Pang Yong had already pulled out the knife.
Seeing this, she quickly added: "Don't worry, don't worry, the demon is not here, maybe it is chasing the border patrol."
"Well, let's not hesitate. We must catch up with them tonight, and we must not let the monster succeed."
The two got on their horses and drove away along the traces left by the border patrol.
