Universe Infinite Canteen

The rain didn't stop until dawn.

Then Malu and Gu Qingyi set off to walk down the mountain. The nearest county town was Yuchang County, but it was also a hundred miles away.

Gu Qingyi and Aunt Zheng were both injured, and the latter was carrying a young child, so they couldn't walk fast even with a horse.

Malu accompanied them for ten miles, passing a small village, and the countdown on the traveler's bracelet was less than twenty minutes.

Malu and Gu Qingyi agreed to meet outside the south gate of Yuchang County in six days, and then found an excuse to fall behind, found a deserted place, packed up the property and two sets of clothes that could not be taken away, and buried them underground.

After finishing the work, he went into the village again, found a farmer who looked more honest, and spent a hundred coins to foster a packhorse that he had taken from the temple.

The reason why the packhorse used by Xingtong Escort Agency to pull goods was chosen instead of the mounts with better foot speed of He Qisheng and others was mainly because the packhorse was docile and more suitable for novices like Malu.

It was almost time to finish all these, and Malu disappeared in a field.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back on the sofa in the rental house.

"How is the new plane?" Lao Wang asked.

"Not bad, although it is a little different from what I imagined, but it is unexpectedly quite interesting. Maybe it can fulfill my childhood dream of martial arts, but the ingredients there are also very special."

Malu handed the collection bag to Lao Wang while speaking, and he opened a bag of potato chips.

"I don't know if there are other ingredients over there. Anyway, when I turned on the scanning function, all I scanned were these things. How about it, what do you think it can be used for?"

"These ingredients can be used to make medicinal food." Lao Wang said after looking at it.

"Medicinal food?"

"Well, to put it simply, food and medicine have the same origin, food is medicine, medicine is added to food, and through cooking, food is given the effect of preventing and treating diseases, nourishing the body, etc."

"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember that my country also had similar dishes in ancient times, and some of them have been passed down to the present, but how should I put it, it cannot be said that there is no effect, but if you say there is, it seems not very obvious, and some medicinal materials are even toxic, which is... very subtle."

"It's because of the ingredients," Lao Wang said, "Your plane only has the most basic ingredients, so most medicinal foods naturally cannot play the expected effect."

"I see, wait... that is to say, if you come to make it, the effect of medicinal food will be very intuitive?"

"That's right." Lao Wang nodded.

"How intuitive is it?"

"I can make one for you and let you try it yourself."

"Okay, I'm a little hungry too."

After the traveler's bracelet was upgraded to level 6, Malu spent 17 hours every time he went out to collect ingredients, which is why he was unpacking potato chips as soon as he came back. However, after a pause, he added, "Do less."

There is no way. The main reason is that after Lao Wang came, Malu's food has risen sharply, and Malu is not a self-disciplined person like Saitama and Zoro. It is difficult not to eat when there is delicious food in front of him, and it is difficult not to eat too much.

This has led to him being 7 kilograms fatter than when he graduated from college. Fortunately, these 7 kilograms of meat basically grew on his stomach. He wore thick clothes in winter, so it is not visible for the time being.

But this is definitely not going to work. Malu made up his mind half a month ago and spent 8888 to buy himself a VIP annual card for the gym and formulated a strict diet plan.

As a result, half a month later, he has not been to the gym once, and the diet plan is only in the planning stage.

He weighed himself the day before yesterday and found that he had gained half a pound.

Very good, the weight gain was faster than before he decided to lose weight.

Malu felt that it was difficult for him to lose weight, especially half an hour later, Lao Wang brought out a large stewed chicken from the kitchen.

Malu couldn't control his hands at all, complaining, "Didn't I tell you to do less?" while picking up chopsticks.

The chicken stewed by Lao Wang was cooked to perfection, and golden fat floated on the clear chicken soup, outlining an attractive luster. The chicken could be separated from the bone with a light flick of chopsticks.

Lao Wang also thoughtfully prepared a rice cake for Malu as a staple food, but it looked a bit black.

Malu first ate a chicken leg, then ate two chicken wings with the rice cake, and then drank a bowl of chicken soup.

The chicken soup tasted even fresher than the chicken, and concentrated the essence of the whole stewed chicken. Malu soaked the remaining rice cake in it, and it became chicken soup with rice.

So he accidentally ate too much again, and when he reacted, most of the chicken had already gone down his stomach.

Malu sighed with satisfaction, then put down his chopsticks and looked at Lao Wang again.

"I saw three kinds of medicinal materials in it: wolfberry, red dates and lotus seeds, but I remember that I didn't bring red dates back. Did you use ordinary ones instead? Wouldn't it affect the final effect?"

"No, because this stewed chicken is not a medicinal food, and I didn't put the ingredients you brought back in it. Not only red dates, but also wolfberries and lotus seeds are all what you brought back from the supermarket before."

"Ah?" Malu was stunned, "What about the medicinal food?"

"You have already eaten it."

"When, why didn't I know? I just ate half a chicken," Malu was puzzled, but soon he thought of something, "Wait a minute, the medicinal food you are talking about is not... that rice cake?"

"Yes, this dish is called lotus leaf carbon cake."

"Hey, then why did you stew a chicken?"

"Didn't you say you were hungry?"

"…………"

Anyway, at least the chicken is delicious, although I'm expected to gain another two taels after eating this meal.

Fortunately, there is still some time before summer, Malu put his attention back to the medicinal diet, and said to Lao Wang, "I know lotus leaf cakes, but what are lotus leaf carbon cakes?"

"Lotus leaf carbon, that is, lotus leaf ash. I fried, calcined, and crushed the Qingyun lotus leaves you brought back, ground them into powder, added them to the rice cakes, and made lotus leaf carbon cakes."

"Can lotus leaf ash be eaten?" Malu asked in surprise, "Then what is the effect of this lotus leaf carbon cake?"

"It can make people lose weight." Lao Wang said, "You can weigh yourself now."

"Huh?!" Malu immediately went to the bedroom bed and took out the body fat scale, then went to the toilet to relieve himself, and then stepped on it.

He held his breath and saw the number on it jump a few times, and finally stopped at 68.1kg.

"Fuck!" Malu exclaimed immediately.

He still remembered that he weighed himself two days ago and the number had reached 69. Unexpectedly, two days later, he had just eaten a big meal and his weight did not increase but decreased, and was almost 2 kilograms less than the last time.
