Frying Zerg to make delicious food shocked the whole galaxy!

Chapter 558 Poisonous and Inedible

“I don’t care whether the recipe is for sale or not, but he asked if he wanted to buy the cafeteria’s recipe. You decide whether you want to sell it or not,” Bai Mianmian said, turning to Jiang Ci.

This time, she turned around rather quickly, which confused Shi Sijin, who was still angry with Jiang Ci for not helping her. "?"

Why does it feel a little weird?
However, before he could think about it further, he suddenly heard Bai Mianmian agree to let Jiang Ci sell him the recipes, and he was so happy that he didn't have time to think about anything else.

In that instant, Shi Sijin's mind flashed quickly through the delicious foods he had eaten in the past few days.

"Alright, do you still want to exchange crystal cores for recipes?" Jiang Ci said, waving his hand. The flying insects that rushed over from the side were instantly frozen and fell down.

"Yes, either way is fine." Bai Mianmian thought of the crystal cores in her spatial button. Although she still had quite a few, she didn't mind having a little more.

"Okay." Jiang Ci nodded, then looked at Shi Sijin.

While flying, Shi Sijin, who was distracted but still trying to nip danger in the bud, suddenly focused her gaze on Jiang Ci.

Within two seconds, Shi Sijin nodded to Jiang Ci with an expression that said, "I understand."

The topic of buying recipes was not pursued further during the rest of the journey.

Bai Mianmian and Jiang Ci would occasionally exchange a few words, while Shi Sijin would frequently look back at her terminal screen, as if she were in contact with someone.

However, judging from his expression, his communication didn't seem to be going very smoothly.

"what?"

Bai Mianmian walked around a large tree and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when she saw a large patch of the same plant in front of her.

The plant, with its palmately divided, oblong leaves, looked strangely familiar to her.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ci followed Bai Mianmian's gaze to the plants, but found no danger for the time being.

“Let’s go over there and take a look. That plant looks like cassava,” Bai Mianmian said, already moving closer to it.

If it really is cassava as she's thinking, then she can put tapioca pearls in her milk tea.

As soon as she moved, Jiang Ci and his group immediately followed suit.

After the Second Legion members checked the plant area and found no danger, Bai Mianmian came to a tree as thick as her leg.

While she was observing the tree, Shi Sijin, who had been using his terminal to contact someone, stopped trying and instead observed the tree with bright eyes alongside Bai Mianmian.

Zeng Xiang and others shared the same expression, except for Jiang Ci, who stood beside Bai Mianmian watching her observe the tree.

After observing for a while, Bai Mianmian was 90% certain that this was a cassava tree. The last thing she needed to do was check if the dug-up root was the same as the one she had seen before.

A hoe appeared in Bai Mianmian's hand, and she swung it down to hoe.

"I'll do it." Jiang Ci reached out and took the hoe from her hand. "Are you digging?"

“Yes, I want to see if the root tubers in the soil are the cassava I’m thinking of.” Letting Jiang Ci take the hoe from her hand, Bai Mianmian took a few steps to the side, giving Jiang Ci room to move around.

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Ci said, and then swung the hoe into the soil.

As the hoe entered the soil, Jiang Ci's movements suddenly stopped, because he felt that he had broken something.

With a little effort, he turned the soil over, and a section of broken, yellowish-white plant root was brought to the surface.

Bai Mianmian squatted down to examine the broken root and quickly determined that it was the texture of cassava.

Finally, she used a terminal to scan and check whether the cassava was safe to eat.
While she was doing the testing, Shi Sijin was also scanning and testing the half-cut cassava with her terminal.

However, the result made his smile fade.

Because that half-cut cassava, in addition to exceeding the standard for pollutants, also contained a lot of hydrocyanic acid toxin, meaning that it was not edible.

“This is it, let’s dig it back.” Bai Mianmian smiled as she looked at Jiang Ci, who was already squatting beside her.

"Sister-in-law, this stuff contains hydrocyanic acid toxin, you can't eat it." Shi Sijin glanced at Bai Mianmian's terminal. He suspected that her terminal might be too old, which was why it hadn't scanned and detected the hydrocyanic acid toxin.

"It's alright, you can just cook it or turn it into starch and eat it," Bai Mianmian explained.

Jiang Ci glanced at her, stood up, and said, "Stand back a bit, and be careful not to get mud on yourself."

Upon seeing this, Zeng Xiang and the other members of the Second Army Corps immediately took out suitable hoeing and digging tools from their respective spatial storage devices, and then each of them picked a cassava tree and began digging.

This time, no one was left to specifically protect Bai Mianmian, because Jiang Ci was right beside her, so leaving anyone behind would be redundant and a waste of manpower.

Upon hearing Bai Mianmian's words, Shi Sijin's first action was to use the terminal to check how to eliminate the hydrocyanic acid toxin.

Hydrogen cyanide is volatile and readily soluble in water...

In other words, what Bai Mianmian just said about cassava being edible after being cooked is correct.

He was relieved, and the smile returned to Shi Sijin's face.

Although he can't eat cassava right now, he's still quite happy that he'll be able to enjoy new delicacies later.

"What are you looking at me for? Can't you see everyone's busy? Aren't you going to join in digging?"

Noticing that Gu Yue was still standing there blankly, Shi Sijin frowned and said with a hint of displeasure.

He's so unmotivated! I'll take away one of his meat dishes tonight and see if he'll still be so slow after that!

"Yes, Commander." Gu Yue perked up and then turned to dig up cassava.

Seeing Jiang Ci digging cassava, Shi Sijin thought for a moment and then took out a suitable digging tool from her spatial storage to dig cassava as well.

Let's see who digs up the most cassava in the end.

With this in mind, Shi Sijin dug the soil at lightning speed, resulting in him breaking the most cassava roots.

He only discovered this problem when he dug up the third cassava tree.

Compared to the neatly arranged and intact cassava on Jiang Ci's side, the cassava he dug up looked very messy.

Shi Sijin: "..."

After that, he slowed down his cassava digging speed, but the cassava was more intact when he unearthed it.

"Watch me, hey~!"

Bai Mianmian had been watching Jiang Ci dig cassava for a while, and just when she was getting a little bored, she suddenly heard a shout.

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see a person holding a cassava tree that had clearly just been pulled from the ground, along with the cassava buried in the soil.

The broken ends at the base of the cassava tree indicate that some cassava remains are still buried in the soil, but the completeness of the cassava found in the soil is greatly improved.

"I am coming too."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man next to him threw his tools on the ground, grabbed the cassava tree trunk he was about to dig with both hands, and then pulled it upwards with force.

The cassava tree, rooted in the soil, was thus pulled out of the ground.

When others saw that this method was faster than digging and the cassava was intact, they all put down their digging tools and started pulling up the cassava trees by hand.

Finally, even Jiang Ci and Shi Sijin switched to harvesting by hand.

This cassava grove was uprooted and felled at an extremely fast pace.

When Jiang Ci and his group had gone about twenty meters deeper into the space, Bai Mianmian, who was putting cassava into her spatial storage, suddenly noticed that there were several different trees further in.

And that tree looked quite familiar to her.
