Doomsday: I am ten times stronger than my peers

Ruxu City is located in the south-central part of Anhui Province, on the north bank of the lower reaches of Tianzhu, next to Chaohu Lake in the north, facing Tongdu and Jiangcheng across the river, with a total administrative area of ​​2022 square kilometers.

The landform characteristics of the mountains ringing the northwest and the water rushing to the southeast endow Ruxu City with the reputation of "land of fish and rice".

Ruxu salted duck is one of the famous traditional dishes in Anhui Province, which was founded in the Qing Dynasty.

As for why Shen Chen knew so much about Ruxu salted duck, he was naturally deeply influenced by the documentary "A Bite of China".

He remembered that there was an episode about the duck in Anhui Province, and the finished duck had a golden appearance, tender and delicious meat, and so on.

Of course, what impresses him the most is that Ruxu salted duck has both the aroma of Kyoto roast duck and the tenderness of Jinling salted duck.

Anyway, Shen Chen didn't have any important things at the moment, and he passed by Anhui Province on his way south, so he could find some delicious food on a whim, and there was a lot to do.

As for killing Cui Jie?

That's not in a hurry, after all, such a big living person can't get anywhere even if he runs.

And with her paranoid and crazy personality, it is impossible to leave the Nankun Mountain base.

To be precise, he would not easily leave the place where Cheng Yizhen was.

Of course, these are all he learned from his sister.

After all, he still understands the principle of winning a hundred battles if he knows himself and the enemy.

"Host, we have arrived in Ruxu City."

Through the green leaves and tall branches in front of Shen Chen, high-rise buildings are regularly distributed around.

The main road into the city is connected to the Ruxu Jiupai Bridge, and the criss-crossing roads are full of abandoned and broken vehicles.

Ho ho! !
The zombies wandering around found Shen Chen, and all rushed towards him with grinning teeth.

Shen Chen unhurriedly raised his right hand, and the silver Tang knife exuding a faint cold light slashed at the surrounding zombies like lightning.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Slashing a flesh-and-blood zombie with a blade that cuts iron like mud is not much more difficult than chopping melons and vegetables.

After dealing with the surrounding zombies, Shen Chen did not enter the city in a hurry, he spread his consciousness and began to investigate the surrounding movement.

The howling of zombies, the whispering of survivors, the hissing of wild beasts, and the quacking of ducks.

That's right, Shen Chen didn't want to investigate the situation in the city, he just wanted to catch a few ducks alive.

This duck can't be an ordinary duck, it must be the raw material of the duck, that is, the duck in Chaohu.

In order to eat authentic and tender salted duck, Chen Chen had to prepare the raw materials in advance.

To the north of Ruxu City, there is a sparkling lake. The name of this lake is Chaohu Lake. It is not only the fifth largest freshwater lake in China, but also one of the habitats of shelducks.

quack! !
Dozens of white-gray shelducks are playing on the rippling lake. Some of them plunge their heads into the blue water, and some use their beaks to comb the feathers on their wings.

But without exception, they did not find Shen Chen who came quietly.

Shen Chen stared at the group of ducks less than 100 meters away from him, quietly waiting for something.

Suddenly, a duck with a black feather on its head first spotted Shen Chen, and it yelled loudly at its partners.

Whoosh!
At this moment, a black light flashed between Shen Chen's five fingers, and the leading duck saw a huge black net descending from the sky, and one corner of the black net happened to cover its head.

quack! !
Gah!
For a while, there was an endless cry of ducks on the lake, accompanied by the duck feathers flying all over the sky.

With a pull of Shen Chen's right hand, the ten ducks covered by the net were pulled to the shore in a blink of an eye.

quack! !
Ignoring the neighing of the ducks, Chen Chen put the plump and strong ducks into the heart-protecting dragon pattern mirror one by one.

After all, until he finds someone who can make salted duck, Shen Chen can only keep alive.

After getting the duck, Shen Chen nodded contentedly and said: "Everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng."

After Shen Chen finished speaking, he walked towards Ruxu City briskly.

……

"My surname is Zhang, quickly hand over the three-day protection fee to me!"

In the Zhangji Banya restaurant, which is "the best place to do nothing", a man with a machete, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a scar on his face yelled loudly at the middle-aged honest man in the corner of the shop.

"Tiger... Brother Hu, can you give me a few more days? I really haven't killed many zombies in the past two days." The honest man pleaded to the scarred man with a trembling voice.

"What the hell, don't be shameless! If our brothers weren't here on this street, you would have been eaten by zombies."

Another young man with yellow hair, an ax in hand, mouse eyes and a deer head pointed at the honest man and cursed.

"Ping, Brother Ping, I, I only have these."

As the honest man spoke, he tremblingly took out a light brown cloth bag from his waist.

"Bring it to you!"

After Huang Mao finished speaking, he snatched the cloth bag from the honest man's hand.

After he groped in the cloth bag for a while, the movements of his hands suddenly stopped. Immediately afterwards, the honest man saw that Huangmao's smiling face suddenly became ferocious.

Snapped!
After Huang Mao took a step forward, he slapped the honest man on the left cheek.

He scolded angrily: "Damn it! It's been three days, and you're using ten corpse cores to fool me?"

"Ping, Brother Ping, I..."

Snapped!
Before the honest man could finish speaking, Huang Mao slapped him on the right cheek again.

"What's wrong? Ping?"

The man with the scar on the side looked at the furious brother and asked in puzzlement.

"Brother, look! This bastard actually used ten zero-order corpse cores to fool us."

While Huang Mao explained, he opened the seal of the cloth bag and showed it to the man with the scar.

"It's a bit small! I suspect that this coward took some of it for himself."

"Brother, don't doubt it, this product must have been secretly used."

"Damn it, I'll send him to see Hades right now."

As he said that, Huang Mao held the battle ax in his right hand and was about to chop off the honest man's head!

when!
At this moment, there was a sound of clashing swords, and Huang Mao felt as if his ax had hit an extremely hard stone.

As a huge shock force hit, Huang Mao actually saw his tiger's mouth split open, and the intense pain made his ax come out of his hand.

He looked up and saw a stern young man in a black cloak who appeared in front of him at some point.

And what blocked his blow was the silver Tang saber in his hand.

"You... who are you?" Huang Mao asked tremblingly.

"Me? A passerby."

"No, it's impossible, why do passers-by come to this shop?" Huang Mao asked in disbelief.

"When I came to the shop, I was naturally hungry. Oh, by the way, are you the manager of this salted duck shop?"

After Shen Chen simply explained, he turned his head and asked the honest middle-aged man in front of him.

"Brother, brother, I'm the store manager." The middle-aged honest man said fearfully.

"Oh, it's fine if you're the manager, then you must know how to make Ruxu salted duck? I have a ready-made duck here, and you can make it for me later."

"In return, I'll help you get rid of these two jumping clowns in front of you."

"Brother, if you really want to eat dry duck, I still have some dried duck meat in the freezer, you can take some and go!" the honest man persuaded earnestly.

"Want to leave? You have to ask us brothers if we agree!"

At this time, the man with the scar walked forward holding the machete tightly, and said with a ferocious face.

"Oh? Interesting. Judging by your posture, do you agree?"

Shen Chen stared at the man with the scar in front of him with great interest.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense, take your life!"

After a loud roar, the man with the scar took the machete and slashed at Shen Chen diagonally.

Seeing this scene, Shen Chen's eyes flashed coldly, and his right hand drew out the saber like lightning.

Pfft!

Shen Chen's Tang Saber arrived in front of the scarred man first, and then cut his throat without hindrance.

Pfft!

The yellow-haired man watched his elder brother's head fall to the ground like an apple, and was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder split. He said to Shen Chen in horror: "This... this matter is none of my business. Please, don't kill me. I!"

"Although it's none of your business, my consistent principle is: cut the weeds and get rid of the roots."

Pfft!

As soon as the words fell, Shen Chen followed the same pattern and harvested the life of the yellow-haired man.

"You...you killed them all?" The honest man asked dumbfounded.

"As you can see."

"I have fresh ingredients, can I make salted duck now?"

The middle-aged honest man said tremblingly: "Yes, of course."

quack! !
Seeing Shen Chen take out ten plump shelducks, the honest man asked dumbfounded: "Big...Brother, did you catch these yourself?"

Shen Chen said calmly: "Well, I just caught it in Chaohu Lake, and it's fresh."

"Slaughter all ten of these?" The honest man looked at Shen Chen cautiously.

"Well, they're all slaughtered. How long will it take for the ten to be ready?"

"At least five hours."

"Okay, do it boldly. With me here, you don't have to worry about the zombies around."

The honest man who has seen Shen Chen's strength is convinced of these words. Now that he has Shen Chen's guarantee, he can also let go of his hands and feet to do a big job.

After releasing four C-level guardian puppets to guard the four directions, Shen Chen also followed the middle-aged honest man to the back kitchen.

"What's your name? How many years have you been a salted duck?"

The middle-aged honest man replied proudly: "Zhang Shun, I have been making salted duck with my grandfather since I was 12 years old, and it has been 30 years now."

"Is there an exclusive secret recipe?"

Zhang Shun scratched his head and said honestly: "In our line of work, anyone who is famous has more than one secret recipe in their hands."

"No wonder you dare to call Wuwei the best? You have confidence!"

Hearing Shen Chen's praise, Zhang Shun said confidently: "I dare not say it in other places, but in Ruxu City, I, Zhang Ji Ban Ya, are definitely second to none!"

Hearing Zhang Shun's boastful words, Shen Chen didn't answer, but just quietly watched him cook the duck.

Slaughter and wash, add salt, marinate in a tank, and dry the water.

Connect to the iron frame, slowly smoke and roast, add star anise spices, put it into the pot, add shiitake mushrooms, put the duck blank, simmer on low heat, then simmer on high heat, and wait for three to 10 minutes.

While watching, Shen Chen wrote down the process of making salted duck.

Although he won't be a cook in the future, what if he needs to use it someday?

"By the way, Zhang Shun, can you tell me your secret recipe?"

"Hahaha! Of course, this is the end of the world, and the secret recipe is useless. Listen carefully, the key to my secret recipe lies in the homemade seasoning."

"They are: 50 grams of star anise, 30 grams of peppercorns, 100 grams of ginger slices, 25 grams of fennel..."

"System, do you remember?"

After hearing that Zhang Shun reported more than 30 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines at once, Shen Chen quickly threw the pot to the system.

"Back to the host, the production steps and exclusive recipes of the salted duck have been recorded into the system. If the host needs it, they can read it at any time."

……

Five hours later, looking at the ten golden and glossy finished ducks on the table, Shen Chen drooled a series of saliva.

"Brother, try my handicraft quickly, you will be satisfied."

Hearing Zhang Shun's words, Shen Chen immediately put a piece of duck breast into his mouth.

Lubricating and delicious sebum, crispy and tender meat, and a sauce with a lingering fragrance on the teeth and cheeks, it is simply a heavenly enjoyment.

"Well, it's delicious!"

"Zhang Shun, don't just watch, you can eat too!"

"Hey! Good!"

Just when Zhang Shun was about to put a piece of duck leg meat into his mouth, he heard the sound of "dada" footsteps coming from the door.

Sisi! !
"Wow! It smells so good, the old man is so hungry."

Suddenly, shortly after a sound of sniffling, another voice of a vicissitudes old man followed.

Zhang Shun looked at the black figure at the door in surprise, and asked calmly, "Who's there? Don't play tricks!"
