Chapter 4 Real Fragrant Rice
The first exploration operation ended in less than three hours.
Explore the maximum distance of no more than two kilometers.
Xu Ming did not go deeper into the red date forest too much, but just did it on the edge and then turned back the same way.
The reason is that the environment in the deep forest is dark, the trees are too messy, and it is easy to lose its direction. Besides, I am a little hungry and want to eat something... I just saw Xiaobai eating so happily, and Xu Ming felt that he could not swallow his saliva from the side.
...
Back to the grassy hill.
Put the backpack on the ground and tied it to the side.
Through the control of his mind, Xu Ming opened the mysterious vortex that followed him. As expected, the scene after the vortex was the rented house he rented, and would not move because of Xu Ming's movement in the world here.
On the contrary, Xu Ming opened the mysterious vortex on Blue Star. No matter how he moved on Blue Star, the place where he landed on New World will never change.
This phenomenon is called "the arrow moves and the target does not move", that is, if he is an arrow running around, then through the mysterious vortex, the destination he goes to is the target of immovableness, and when he leaves, leaving the place where he last stays in the world he was in, it will become a new target.
This phenomenon is explained by quantum theory, which is the so-called "observer effect". Once observed, the quantum state collapses to a stable state, and the observer is Xu Ming himself.
However, the process of renting a house is a bit difficult. The difference in atmospheric pressure of nearly 20% is equivalent to a two-meter water pressure above your head, as if there are three or four people pushing you in front of you. It is difficult not to move forward or get back away by the strong wind.
Xu Ming could only expand the diameter of the vortex channel to a maximum of 1 meter. The greater mental consumption caused a lot of sweat to his forehead.
Five or six minutes later.
The air pressure on the rental house has obviously decreased and the wind has weakened a lot.
Xu Ming did not take much effort to return to the rented house.
Close the vortex channel.
Take off the protective mask from your face.
Gulu Gulu killed half a bottle of mineral water and went to the bathroom to relieve it.
Xu Ming's eyes were placed on the red fruit of the material bag on the floor... It was the "red dates" brought from the New World.
Then he picked up the bag, went to the kitchen (the kitchen and the bathroom were together), cleaned it in the pool, put it in the basket, and then took the 1.5l volume small rice cooker and washed about 200 grams of rice.
Add water.
Dry the bottom of the pot.
Plug in and press the "Cook" button.
And the most critical step is to grab two handfuls of "red dates" and put them in the rice cooker to cook together.
"Since it's not easy to eat it raw, then cook the red dates and make a pot of red date rice! Using the principle of high-temperature sterilization, can you eat it?"
Xu Ming felt that he was quite smart, or that the wisdom of his ancestors had been well passed down from him. Putting aside nutrition and taste, cooked food is always safer than raw food.
And Xu Ming also did not deny that in addition to being afraid of fatigue in work, he was also very afraid of death.
He felt that fear of death was not a disadvantage, but rather an advantage.
Because fear of death is equivalent to wanting to live, which means you cherish your life and love the life in front of you.
In modern society where the pressure of survival and competition is unprecedentedly huge, many people live a depressed and painful life. They spend every day under pressure and suffering, and slowly they are not afraid of death, and even think that they will be completely destroyed after death, thus doing some stupid things.
This kind of example has happened around Xu Ming and has also witnessed it with his own eyes.
“What’s more important than being alive?”
This sentence in a Chinese comic made Xu Ming feel that money is important, but if he wants to exchange health and his own sense of happiness and happiness, it would be better for him to maintain his original self.
People cannot abandon life for the sake of survival.
"It's enough money. I usually have computers to watch TV series and mobile phones to play games. I occasionally pay attention to the increasingly powerful changes in the country, track the latest achievements in the field of science and technology, see when controllable nuclear fusion will be realized, and when humans will move towards the sea of stars... Although I don't have the ability to participate in these major events and can't make any contributions, it's okay to call the boss 666 next to me as a witness."
"By the way, share the glory after those great achievements and follow a little pride."
"The most is the most. When encountering trolls deliberately slander and slander, they turn into keyboard warriors and fight against those insidious villains. At the level of public opinion, they give support and encouragement to outstanding struggling people... that's all they can do."
This is what Xu Ming positioned himself.
Even if he got a portable world, his ideas did not change much.
Amidst random thoughts.
Suddenly there was a strange fragrance that penetrated into the nasal cavity, making the brain feel more awake.
Over time.
The fragrance became more and more intense, and the mouth couldn't help but secrete a lot of saliva. Xu Ming, who was originally half lying on the bed, walked to the kitchen and looked around the rice cooker.
...
downstairs,
A middle-aged couple sitting on the sofa watching TV in the living room, feeling their noses were a little itchy. They sniffed twice and took their attention away from the TV.
"Why does it smell so fragrant?"
"It seems that the smell of rice is floating from the side."
"Impossible, how could rice be so fragrant? I haven't smelled such fragrant rice in decades."
The middle-aged couple discussed it and fell into memories from the past. They remember that although they were materially poor when they were young, they were delicious no matter what they ate.
...
Tat ~
The rice cooker just tripped.
Xu Ming, holding a bowl in his left hand and a rice spoon in his right hand, couldn't wait to uncover the lid of the pot. The smell of rice that hit him was even more impatient.
I served myself a bowl of red date rice, which reached the point of the pile.
On the small folding table in the room, there were already Fulin pickled cabbage, Wujiang kelp silk, a shellless five-spice braised egg... and other local foods. This is the bibimbap side dish that Xu Ming usually prepares.
But today's protagonist can only be red date rice!
He picked up the chopsticks and pulled a big mouth into his mouth.
I was immediately scalded and whimpered, but I couldn't bear to vomit it out. I opened my mouth and blew for two breaths, and then my entire mouth was covered with indescribable taste.
The fragrance of rice.
The sweetness of red dates.
Extremely soft and greasy taste.
The taste buds explode directly, reaching the nerve center, allowing salivary amylase to be secreted more unrestrainedly.
Cool!
tasty!
Xu Ming frequently plucked his chopsticks and started a battle to slap in a drooling battle.
Generally, adult men's appetite is about six taels, but the pot of about one and a half pounds of red dates and rice in the rice cooker tonight went into Xu Ming's stomach, and the bibimbap side dishes on the table were also eaten.
"Ah——"
After a long burp, I touched my round belly and found that it was a bit difficult to even sit up normally.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You can't eat like this again next time. If you accidentally run out of your body, it will be a tragedy."
However, Xu Ming dared to guarantee that the red date rice he just ate was definitely the most delicious rice he had ever eaten since he was a child, no doubt about it.
"I remember there was a variety show where the old lady's rice was really fragrant, didn't Wang Jingze say it was really fragrant? I think my red date rice is even more fragrant! It is more worthy of the title of 'real fragrant rice'!"
"I decided that in the future, I would like to add a handful of red dates from the other side of the world to cook. We will only eat 'real fragrant rice'."
At this time, a strong sense of fatigue came.
Xu Ming, who had been struggling for six or seven hours, planned to have a good sleep and continue to explore the world of his own tomorrow.
"It's better... go to sleep in the world where you have a temperature of more than 20 degrees, the gravity is smaller, and it's more comfortable to rest there."
Thinking of this, Xu Ming sat up and opened the connection channel of the mysterious vortex.
However, the channel had just expanded to the size of a fist, and he was stunned and stopped operating.
Chapter completed!
