Chapter 109 Let’s start again.
The effect of the enhanced version of the grenade was better than Chen Mu imagined. It was even a little too good, so much so that he almost did something stupid, injuring the enemy a thousand times and damaging himself eight hundred.
He adjusted the size and quantity of the steel balls, and asked Dong Junwei to make a batch of moderately powerful grenades so that the killing radius could be controlled.
Of course, the best way is to find cover after throwing.
It's like having to lie down after throwing a grenade.
After the experiment was completed, Wei Dalei dragged the half-dead caterpillar and asked: "What should I do? If you don't throw it away, it will attract ants." "Don't waste it. Before throwing it away, cut off
some meat and improve the food at noon."
" Is this... eating bugs?"
Several people began to feel uncomfortable.
On the contrary, Tang Jing, a girl, did not seem to be afraid and said: "This is the larvae of the cabbage white butterfly, also called cabbage caterpillar. It likes to attach to various leaves. The meat of this kind of insect should be better. Use Beiye In other words, the protein is several times that of beef, and as long as you have eaten stir-fried vegetables before, you have probably eaten a few of these bugs." Instead of reassuring everyone,
these words made everyone feel even more uncomfortable.
Tang Jing simply started to use her tricks: "Actually, these are nothing. According to probability statistics, everyone will eat a few live cockroaches and countless mosquitoes in their lifetime." "Why?"
Zhao Xiaoyan almost jumped up.
"Because when people are sleeping, their mouths sometimes open unconsciously, and if a cockroach happens to crawl to your mouth, you are likely to subconsciously close your mouth, chew it, and then swallow it. Sometimes you wake up with something strange in your mouth. Smell, maybe that's the reason."
"Ugh..."
Before Tang Jing could finish her words, several people couldn't stand it anymore.
Even Chen Mu felt sick to his stomach.
"Stop talking about Tang Jing."
"I suddenly felt that eating insect meat is good." "
Yeah, cut the meat into strips and roast it on the iron plate. You can't tell it's an insect anyway, so just treat it as pork. Okay."
"That said, it seems really good."
"..."
Maybe because there is something more disgusting to compare with, everyone suddenly became more accepting of eating bugs.
Chen Mu glanced at Tang Jing, and when she saw that she happened to be looking over, he gave her a thumbs up.
The flesh of freshly dead caterpillars is still very fresh.
Chen Mu took the time to cut off a few complete pieces of meat from its back, and then asked Wei Dalei to throw away the body.
...
There are extra benefits from testing grenades, which is really good.
After returning to the room, it was almost time for lunch.
Every meal tasted like instant noodles, and everyone finally got tired of it.
Nowadays, there is no need to improve the food, just change it.
Although she had new materials, Du Jiajia looked at the meat strips in front of her and was a little confused for a moment. She turned around and asked Chen Mu beside her: "How to cook this thing?" Chen Mu said with a smile: "Honestly, I am also the first
. This is the first time we are making a bug dinner. Originally, this kind of meat would be better for grilling, but we actually had no choice but to grill it on the teppanyaki or on the teppanyaki."
Facts have proved.
High-end ingredients generally require only the simplest cooking methods.
After being grilled on the iron plate, the insect meat strips soon emitted a charming aroma. This time Du Jiajia did not use instant noodle sauce, but only sprinkled some seasoning powder when cooking.
After the first piece of meat was cooked, Chen Mu volunteered to try it.
Others were attracted by the scent, but ultimately a little hesitant.
It wasn't until I saw Chen Mu nibbling on it that it tasted delicious that I made up my mind.
Who would have thought that bugs could be so delicious.
"It would be even better if it was paired with some vinegar." Qian Fei, who is from Shanxi, couldn't help but sigh after taking a bite of the meat.
"It's best to have some spicy chili seeds with sugar and garlic."
"Soy sauce is also fine."
"Actually, just sprinkle with salt and it's delicious. Unfortunately, the current powder packets still smell like instant noodles."
In terms of taste, The quality of meat now is relatively rough, but the meat everyone had before was only dehydrated beef cubes, and the taste was far inferior to what it is now.
Everyone gathered around Du Jiajia's iron plate stove. After roasting a piece, it was all sold out.
Because the amount of meat strips was large, and the meat strips could not be left raw to let them rot, they had to be roasted. Du Jiajia worked for a full hour before grilling all the meat strips.
"The remaining part is dried and eaten as jerky."
The sixteen people ate all the meat as lunch and only ate about one-fifth of it.
The rest must be kept properly.
...
The afternoon was also very busy.
In addition to making the grenades that need to be carried when going out, Chen Mu also optimized everyone's weapons. First, he asked Lu Shanshan to reduce the quality, and then Chen Mu modified and repaired them.
The most obvious one is Wei Dalei. The set of mountain axes and large iron shields, after being reduced in weight by half, are even more lightweight in his hands, and his speed can be a few minutes faster.
And He Ying's dagger was already known for its lightness, and now it was even more light in his hand.
Finally, he rebuilt a flatbed truck.
Not only does the cargo capacity greatly increase, but the enlarged tires also make it easier for the car to drive on rough roads.
everything's ready.
...
early the next morning.
The five men were ready to go.
Dong Junwei expressed blessings to them on behalf of those who stayed and held a simple farewell ceremony.
Chen Mu thought for a while and whispered to Dong Junwei: "If we haven't come back in five days, squad leader, you and Tang Jing should consider the livelihood of the remaining people." This was a bit
depressing.
But it is very practical. Not to mention the various dangers in nature, just one of them has enough power to eliminate them several times.
Always prepare for the worst in everything.
Dong Junwei wanted to say a few words of comfort, but when the words came to her lips, she did not say them out. She finally sighed: "I know."
Then.
The door is opened.
Wei Dalei walked at the front pushing the cart, followed closely by the people behind him.
Taking advantage of Xiao Huang's absence, the five of them quickened their pace and left.
That cat was extraordinarily gentle to Du Jiajia, but who knew how it would treat other people? If it was pulled twice by its own gatekeeper before going out, it would be said to die before leaving.
Behind him, the heavy door was slowly closed.
Chen Mu looked around the four people, and especially said to Lu Shanshan and Xue Xu: "Don't worry, as long as you listen to my arrangements, nothing will happen." "Yes." Lu Shanshan nodded: "But, we
have
to Where to go?"
Chen Mu only discussed the itinerary arrangements with Tang Jing, Dong Junwei, and He Ying. Even Wei Dalei didn't know. It wasn't that he didn't trust other people, but it was useless for them to know.
Chen Mu pointed in the direction of the canteen.
"You can live better if you know yourself and your enemy. It's time to see what's going on with those people in No. 1 Middle School."
