Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 2021 Information Poor

   Just when Liu Xing pricked up his ears to continue listening, he heard Yin En's voice, "It's time for Liu Xing to wake up, we're going to have dinner."

   Then Liu Xing woke up, opened his eyes and looked at Yin En.

   Is this just an ordinary dream?

Looking at the somewhat confused Liu Xing, Yin En said: "Liu Xing, you slept for half an hour, Young Master Ying and the others are going to pack up the things first, and then they are going to have dinner with us in the cafeteria, and the cafeteria should prepare porridge tonight Add steamed buns, and maybe a scrambled egg with tomatoes."

Liu Xing gave a Hatch, and said suspiciously: "Tomato, has that thing been passed on? Although there are already some plants from the other side of the sea in Xinlong Empire, the problem lies in the memory of my character card. No tomatoes? If there were, I think tomatoes would have spread and become one of the most popular vegetables since tomatoes and eggs are a perfect match."

   "That's because the tomatoes at this time are not called tomatoes, but wolf peaches."

Yin En said with a smile: "In this martial arts module, the name of the tomato is called wolf peach, because wolves in the wild like to eat tomatoes, so the witnesses called this bright red plant peach, after all, the ancients For the naming of animals and plants, two words-image are highlighted, which is why some animals have cats or dogs in their names, but they are not cats or canines, and wolf peach has the word peach in their names, but they are not peaches. "

Liu Xing frowned, got up and said: "So that's the case, I have also heard the story of the wolf peach, that is, when the wolf peach was first introduced to Europa, everyone regarded it as an ornamental plant, just like the pepper just appeared. In China, it also existed as a special ornamental plant; in this way, these tomatoes were brought by the son eagle? Or these tomatoes originally belonged to the third prince, after all, the third prince also likes to watch and raise Some flowers and plants."

"Liu Xing, you are right. These tomatoes do come from the back garden of the third prince. Of course, there are also corn and peppers in the back garden of the third prince. It's just that they are all regarded as ornamental plants. As for the fruits they bear They are all treated as a by-product, and they were handed over to the gardeners before, and the gardeners have not yet discovered the magic of these plants; but Gongziying is also a delicious mouth, and usually likes to play in the back garden , so after hearing that wolf peaches are edible, I fell in love with the taste of tomatoes, so I brought a lot of tomatoes with me when I came here this time."

"So after we learned about this, we performed a tomato scrambled eggs for Gongziying, and then took all the tomatoes from Gongziying's hands, and started large-scale planting, but the most important thing is The growth rate of the tomatoes in the martial arts module this time is as if they have been added with gold, which can be compared with bean sprouts; , In just a few days of hard work, a lot of fruit has been produced, and the taste is quite good, so today we can eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

Hearing this, Liu Xing had a guess, "It seems that after considering our stomachs, the author of the mod decided to open a back door for some vegetables, allowing them to appear in Xinlong Empire in advance, and also speed up the growth cycle. In this way, we can eat more familiar vegetables; as far as I know, many researchers believe that after returning to ancient times, eating has become a big problem, because many vegetables are regional specialties, which belong to the past. There is no such store in the village, even now it is almost the same, when you go to other countries, you will find that many vegetables you are familiar with are gone.”

"As for many fruits and vegetables that we are very familiar with today, let alone hundreds of years ago, even decades ago, they looked different. So even if we see the original version of certain vegetables, we may not be able to recognize them; but this is also a big advantage for us? Because there are some things that only we can recognize, and NPC For them, you may know them but don’t know why, or even ask three questions.”

Hearing what Liu Xing said, Yin En showed a sinister smile, "For example, this tomato is still popular in a small circle as an ornamental plant. After all, this thing has traveled far and wide. It comes from the sea, so it is quite valuable, so ordinary people have never seen it, not to mention eating it; so we can prepare some tomato juice, which tastes very special, and it has a very good taste with other fruits and vegetables. There is an obvious difference, so we can use it as a poison to fool others, and when most people face completely unknown things, they will instinctively feel two words—fear.”

   There is one thing to say, Liu Xing also thinks that the taste of tomatoes is quite special, and there is an obvious sour feeling, so it should be able to scare people when used as a guest "poison".

   What's more, in this hot day, tomato juice can't last long, and it will take on some rotten smell, so this smell will make people who don't know the truth sure that there is definitely something wrong with this thing!

  Unknowingly, Liu Xing and others had another useful hole card.

After reuniting with Gongziying and others, everyone went back to the cafeteria in Tianshui Town and started to have dinner. The content of the dinner was the same as Yin En said. In summer, these simple meals will make people more appetizing.

"The current logging team has been disbanded, because the wood used to build the house is completely enough, so we asked the logging team to dig a ditch around Tianshui Town, so that the mountain spring water can flow through the entire Tianshui Town, which plays a certain role. It has a cooling effect, and it is also convenient for everyone to wash their hands and so on.”

Yin En ate the steamed buns, and said vaguely: "Tianshui Town is on the right track now, but from time to time we will find some sneaky people peeping at us. After all, it has started to rain. It is said that the Sixth Prince's Bian is already recruiting new soldiers, and has concentrated the original troops in Yecheng."

Although theoretically the tea city under the rule of the sixth prince is the closest to the territory of the third prince, it would be very troublesome to start from the tea city and it would be difficult to deploy troops on a large scale, so in fact it would be more convenient to start from Ye City .

  And if troops are dispatched from Ye City, the first target is Yuan City, which is less than 20 kilometers away.

Yuan City lives up to its name. There are several deep pools nearby, the most famous of which is probably the Ice Water Pool, because even in summer, there will be pieces of ice emerging from the water in this deep pool from time to time, and it is at least as cold as ice. The size of a millstone, so in summer, many people will come to this deep pool to get cold water. If they are lucky, they can also bring a few pieces of ice back.

But apart from these deep pools, Yuan City seems a little ordinary, and because there is a certain distance between those deep pools and Yuan City, Yuan City is also safe to defend, so it can be regarded as a very good place. attack target.

   "It seems that Uncle Six is ​​going to fight us."

Young Master Ying on the side sighed, and said melancholy: "The relationship between Uncle Six and my father is the worst. It was already so bad that he didn't even plan to act superficially, so now he is ready to do it so soon. , it was within the expectation of my father and me... Alas, now we can be sure that something happened to my grandpa. But it's not serious, so it's not known to outsiders."

"Of course, my grandfather has been the emperor for so many years, and he also knows that there are many caring people watching his every move, like a poisonous scorpion waiting for an opportunity, ready to bite you at any time, so it is considered a birth. Some minor illnesses will keep people around from talking about it, lest those who are caring will feel disobedient; but my grandfather should really be unable to bear it this time, and he suddenly fell down while eating, and he is still In a coma... If there is no accident, my uncles will take action in the name of Jin Jingqin."

Looking at the young master Ying with a sad face, Yu Lei on the side couldn't help but said: "A Ying, maybe this is the reason why His Royal Highness the Third Prince arranged for you to come to Tianshui Town, because if you stay in Liangcheng now, it is very may be involved; and here I will put a bad word, if your father and your uncles can fight each other, so can you and your brothers, otherwise they would not all choose to go out to work .”

After being silent for a while, Young Master Ying nodded and said: "Yes, if I haven't left Liangcheng now, the situation will indeed become more subtle, and it will be easy for my brothers to be regarded as a thorn in their side, and they will not I know what will be done to deal with me; after all, at this time, as the only son beside my father, even if I do nothing, or even do something wrong, I can gain a lot of prestige, so if I am My brother, that would definitely see me as the biggest stumbling block."

Speaking of this, Young Master Ying sighed, and his expression became sad, "As long as I can remember, my brothers were very kind to me before they left the palace, but when they were about to leave When I was young, if I wanted to go to play with them, the result would often be two words - rejection, and I can also feel that they don't like me as a younger brother... So is the throne really that important?"

Liu Xing also sighed, shook his head and said, "Young master, if you can walk around Tianshui Town these two days, you will find that after the children of some families grow up, they will start to care for the few children in the family. I began to fight openly and secretly with Susukida and a farm ox, because these are the guys who will eat in the future. If you don’t fight, you will suffer in the near future; this is like the steamed buns in our hands. If you eat less, Then others can eat one more bite, and you will not be hungry even if you eat one less bite, and you will feel a little disadvantaged."

"What's more, for you, my son, your house is not a steamed bun, but a meat bun with thin skin and big filling. It seems that the whole family can eat a little bit, but the problem is that as a meat bun The throne cannot be distributed to the second person, so at this time, it is son, your father is eating meat, and you and your brothers are eating buns; in this way, you and your brothers There will be no big opinions, after all, everyone eats about the same, and it’s okay to have more or less, anyway, everyone doesn’t suffer too much.”

"But the problem is that son, your father is also old, and began to deliberately give up the meat of the buns. Now that he has the opportunity to eat the meat, who would be satisfied with eating the skin of the buns? And it's still the same sentence , there is only one person who can eat minced meat, so you can imagine, my son, that you and your brothers are eating at the same table, and all the bones in a bowl of bone soup are taken away by one of your brothers. And you can only drink the leftover soup with other brothers, and you can occasionally eat a little side dish or bone dregs, will your mentality change?"

   Liu Xing's words made Young Master Ying fall silent again.

After a while, Young Master Ying nodded and said: "Yeah, even if I never thought of competing for the position left by my father, when I think of the picture you just mentioned, A Peng, I will feel a little It’s such a disadvantage, after all, if it’s my father, it’s okay for him to eat meat and we drink soup, but if my brother is the one who eats meat, then I think he shouldn’t eat so much...but Just like what you said, A Peng, no matter how much meat there is, it can only be eaten by one person."

"So it's the same with my father and my uncles. What they want to compete for is not meat and bones, but a whole table of dishes! I still remember the last time I went to see my grandpa, the table of dishes It is my grandfather who moved the chopsticks before we can eat, or my grandfather opened his mouth; it seems that the reason why I can come here is also my father's good intentions, because although I am not ability to join the competition, but it does not prevent me from being a stumbling block in the eyes of my brothers."

   At this time, Liu Xing didn't say anything anymore, because it would be impolite to say one more sentence.

  Of course, the main reason why Liu Xing said these words was to let Young Master Ying stay in Tianshui Town with peace of mind, so that Tianshui Town can be regarded as an extra guarantee.
