The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 448: Tempting Tofu

"Oh my god, what is this?"

“Is this soybean?”

"Oh my god, this field is full of them?"

"Shouldn't this be more than ten acres of land?"

……

On the hillside of Meishan, among the terraced fields, mutant soybeans more than one meter tall are growing well.

Every soybean plant is full of pods, which are plump and hanging full.

Each soybean is the size of a thumb, twice as big as ordinary soybeans!
Zhou Wanxi and others looked at these mutated soybeans in amazement.

Everyone asked each other excitedly.

Everyone knows what these soybeans mean!
This means food.

In the era of the great flood, food is life.

Wen Xiao turned around and looked at everyone, smiling, "Everyone, these are our Yangshan Xiangyun beans, a mutant variety of soybeans. Our task today is to harvest the soybeans and then transport them to the soybean product processing factory."

"Can these soybeans be eaten?" Zhou Wanxi couldn't help but ask excitedly.

Wen Xiao smiled and said, "Of course, if we can't eat it, why do we grow it?"

Zhou Wanxi's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said excitedly: "It's edible, it's actually edible! If we had these soybeans on the ship, how could so many people die?"

Li Chongming also had tears in his eyes, and murmured: "No wonder, no wonder Mr. Liang said that this place has achieved self-sufficiency. So many soybeans, such a yield, fully meet people's needs."

Xiao Mingtian also said excitedly: "This is the real refuge. No matter how good the Fog City is, there are not so many edible things here."

Meng Qin turned his head to look at Wen Xiao and couldn't help asking, "Instructor, do we have a processing plant here?"

Wen Xiao smiled and nodded: "Yes, after the beans are harvested, you will go to the processing plant to help. You will know when you get there."

Everyone looked at each other, their blood boiling, and they wished they could visit the soy product processing factory right now.

Then comes the busy time.

For ordinary people before the great flood, the work of harvesting fragrant cloud beans was considered to be quite physically demanding.

However, for these people with special abilities at the moment, it really doesn't take much effort.

A team consists of twenty people. Speed-type mutants are responsible for quick harvesting, while strength-type mutants are responsible for carrying the crops.

It is even easier for elemental psychics. They can simply use elemental skills to wrap the soybeans, and not a single bean will fall out.

Even after the soybeans are harvested, there will be people with fire attributes to burn the straw, and then people with earth attributes will come up to turn the soil.

Finally, helpers from the farms and slaughterhouses will be responsible for applying fertilizer.

After going through the whole process, it was extremely smooth.

By the afternoon, Wen Xiao's team had completed the tasks assigned to them.

In their team, people like Li Chongming, Zhou Wanxi, and Xiao Mingtian have main attributes that are almost all above 45 points.

Such a person with special abilities can do farm work very skillfully and easily.

Even after finishing the work, he was still full of energy, and only most of his supernatural powers were consumed.

Wen Xiao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, next we'll hand it over to the soil turning and fertilizing team. Everyone, follow me to the soy product processing factory."

Upon hearing this, everyone was delighted and followed Wen Xiao to the soy product processing factory.

This processing plant is not far from the farmland and is close to the Jieshi Academy.

The processing plant is not big, it is equivalent to a huge warehouse.

But at this moment the processing plant was bustling with activity, and the sound of banging was heard continuously.

Zhou Wanxi and others looked inside and saw that many soybeans were washed clean and then quickly poured into two huge millstones not far away.

There are many large round holes in the huge millstone, and the beans are poured into these holes.

There are four huge wooden stakes inserted into the side of the millstone, making it look like a huge wheel.

At this moment, a power-type mutant is pushing these wooden stakes, and the millstone begins to rotate.

Those with water-attribute abilities can summon water from time to time and add it to the big holes.

Soon, a large amount of soy milk began to flow out from between the two grinding wheels.

The grinding wheel below is shaped like a cone. The soy milk flows down along the cone and quickly gathers in the huge wooden barrel below the cone.

When a wooden barrel is full, someone will come and replace it immediately, and then a new barrel will be brought up.

Some of the wooden barrels filled with soy milk were directly sealed and then quickly transported out.

Some will also be moved to the factory next door.

There they start processing it into things like tofu, fermented bean curd, dried tofu, bean curd sheets, and dried tea leaves.

The whole process has become quite mature and has formed an assembly line-like operating procedure.

Zhou Wanxi, Li Chongming and others were delighted by what they saw.

“Is this the processing plant?”

"Yangshan has actually started making its own tea-dried tofu?"

"There's tofu here. It's so delicious. I can't remember how long it's been since I last had tofu."

Even though they were ship captains, they were influential figures in the Fog City.

But they have never eaten these steaming tofu and soy milk.

At least they hadn't eaten for a long time since the flood.

At this moment, everyone's eyes glowed green, and they wished they could rush up and drink a bucket of soy milk on the spot.

Wen Xiao saw this and reminded them seriously: "Don't eat while working. After today, your points will be credited to your account, and you can come over to spend money then."

"Don't you say you need a points card?" Xiao Mingtian asked quickly.

"The scorecards will take some time to be made, and your information needs to be entered."

Wen Xiao said, then changed the subject and said with a smile: "But you can keep a record first, and when the card is issued, our accountants will automatically write it off."

"If you are reluctant to spend your points, there is actually tofu in the big pot meal at the military base in the evening, but it's not as fresh as the one here." Several people swallowed their saliva, and for a moment, they were really looking forward to the days in Yangshan.

Zhou Wanxi and other ship captains were in such a state, not to mention the ordinary crew members below.

They all began to look forward to the day when they would become part of Yangshan.

After being tortured by the aroma of tofu for the entire afternoon, Zhou Wanxi and the others were already starving when they got off work.

When the group walked out of the processing plant under the leadership of Wen Xiao, they were surrounded by the discussions of the former crew members.

"Fuck, my mouth is almost dry today."

"Oh my god, I really love tofu. I almost forgot how long it has been since I last ate tofu."

"Me too, especially frozen tofu. If I cook it with fish, I can eat three bowls of rice."

"You're a power-type mutant, and you only eat three bowls of rice?"

"Shit, I meant before the flood."

"You say, when we become residents of Yangshan, can we also buy these foods?"

"Of course you can. Didn't you hear what the instructor said? We also get points for our work. If we really can't wait, we can wait until the points are collected tonight and then have some to try."

"Fuck, do it! I have to do it, I can't wait!"

"Me too!"

……

Similar noisy noises made Zhou Wanxi and others unable to hold back.

Meng Qin was the first to speak, saying, "Brothers, how about we spend some points to buy some tofu to try?"

Xiao Mingtian immediately agreed: "I think it's okay. Anyway, the points are earned to be spent."

Zhou Wanxi hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid these points are very important. Who knows, they will be used in many places in the future."

Xiao Mingtian immediately said, "How many points can you spend for eating tofu? We are capable brothers, so are we worried that we won't be able to earn points in the future?"

Zhou Wanxi licked his lips, looked at the relatively silent Li Chongming, and asked, "Old Li, what do you say?"

Li Chongming was also somewhat interested, and said in a hoarse voice: "First, let me ask how many points are per piece."

Meng Qin immediately said excitedly: "I've asked around, it's not expensive, five points per kilogram, the four of us will each get one point, so we can pool four points to try it out, how do you think?"

"I think it works!"

"Let's go!"

After they finished their discussion, they excitedly went to Wen Xiao to record the bill, spending four points to buy less than a pound of tofu.

After being divided into four pieces, it fell into the hands of four people.

Meng Qin touched the hot tofu, and the aroma of the soy product was rushing into his nose.

God have mercy on these people, they have been eating mutant fish all year round, eating them every day, every month, they are getting sick of the fishy smell.

This is the first time I have eaten tofu since the Great Flood.

Without any need for others to say anything, the four of them took a bite directly.

Instantly, the rich bean aroma hit their taste buds and exploded in their mouths.

The hot and fragrant tofu even has a hint of sweetness.

The four people all showed an intoxicated look on their faces.

By the time the four people came to their senses, the tofu in their hands had been eaten!

Zhou Wanxi suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "Damn it, how come they've finished eating?"

Xiao Mingtian couldn't help but say, "This is so delicious."

Li Chongming was also speechless: "Too little, not enough to eat."

Some of them even said they would take it back home to try in the evening.

They finished eating it before even leaving the processing plant!

"Do you want to buy some more?" Meng Qin made an evil suggestion.

Li Chongming looked at Meng Qin and couldn't help but said, "No, Meng Qin, you are also a member of the Psychic Energy Church. Don't you have tofu in the Psychic Energy Church?"

Meng Qin was speechless and said, "Do you think mutant soybeans grow everywhere?"

"Even if it's wild, no one grows it specifically. Where can I make it into tofu for you to eat?"

"All land resources of the three major religions belong to the religions and cannot be cultivated privately."

"It seems that in Yangshan now, all land resources are under the unified planning of Yangshan." Zhou Wanxi said.

Li Chongming nodded slightly: "That's for sure. Now that the flood is spreading and land resources are in short supply, we must centralize management."

"Floods are compressing human living space. Land resources are definitely very important, and unified management is the right approach," Xiao Mingtian also said.

Meng Qin sighed, "Everyone knows the truth, but after the three major religions unified their land, I didn't see them growing vegetables and food. The people under them still can't get enough to eat and wear warm clothes."

"If the three major religions continue to behave like this, they will collapse sooner or later." Zhou Wanxi shook his head and sneered.

Li Chongming frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid not."

"How could that be? A shelter like Mr. Liang's is a benign shelter."

Zhou Wanxi retorted: "The three major religions play that way, and the believers under their rule will see through it sooner or later."

Li Chongming shook his head and said, "How can we see clearly? There is a flood outside. It is hard for ordinary believers to leave the island. They may have to live in the territory of the three major religions for the rest of their lives."

"If someone has some skills and has become a high-ranking official in one of the three major religions, would he give up his status as a vested interest and create trouble for himself?"

"Another point is that a benign shelter like Yangshan would probably require a lot of effort, and in the early stages it would take a lot of supplies to build."

"If the three major religions can't follow suit, they will definitely find a way to destroy Yangshan."

Xiao Mingtian immediately said in a deep voice: "If we can't win, will we destroy it?"

"Damn, they might really do this!" Meng Qin couldn't help but say.

While chatting, a few people diverted their attention from the tofu, followed the large group, and quickly walked towards Yunquan Temple.
