Chapter 54: This soup is a little salty
Scrape off the scales, cut the belly with a file, and dig out the gills.
Xu Yi's movements are still a little jerky, so his movements are not fast.
However, he was patient.
Xu Yi cleaned up the fish one by one, and occasionally looked up at Su Keke.
There are a lot of snails in the creek, so Su Keke doesn't need to go far, and she can pick up a small handful in the same location.
In this way, Xu Yi was more down-to-earth and continued to process the small fish in the bucket.
Because you need to scrape the scales, it takes a lot of time.
It took more than an hour for Xu Yi to clean up all the small fish.
"There are still more than thirty crabs, and today's breakfast is hearty. ”
Crabs also need to be cleaned, but they don't have to be washed all of them.
This thing can't be eaten as a meal, just take half of it and cook it.
"Hey, and two small shrimps?"
Xu Yi found that there were two small shrimps with the size of index fingers at the bottom of the bucket, and he smiled even more happily.
"Coco, it's time for us to go back and cook breakfast. ”
Xu Yi shouted, Su Keke was more than 100 meters away from him, and he could still hear it.
"Daddy, I hear you, and I'm back. ”
Su Keke answered loudly, then turned around and walked down the stream.
She still gained a lot, not only picked up a basket of snails, but also packed a lot of them in her snakeskin backpack.
There are too many snails here, and she only picks up the big ones.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Su Keke returned to Xu Yi's side.
"Dad, there are too many snails here, they are all full here, and they can't fit yet. ”
Su Keke patted the shoulder basket on his body and smiled very happily.
Although the snail has less meat, it is delicious.
Well, of course, it has to be when there are plenty of seasonings.
If you don't have any seasonings, you won't have much flavor.
Xu Yi still likes to eat snails, and occasionally when he is tired, he goes on the side and makes a beer.
While snorting the snails, watching a documentary, and drinking beer, it is the best relaxation.
It's a pity that you can't relive such days until you win the final challenge.
Poured all the snails into the bucket, and then Xu Yi returned to the camp with Su Keke.
There were no more open fires in the camp, but the carbon fire had not been extinguished.
Xu Yi added some dead wood, and the flame was rekindled.
After pouring the snails and crabs into the basket that Su Keke had made last night, Xu Yi went to fetch water.
"There are still too few containers, so we still have to cut down a big tree and make a few buckets. ”
Xu Yi currently only has one bucket, and he feels that it is not enough, and there are too many things that need to be loaded.
They boiled water, and there was no place to put it.
Xu Yi actually wants to find bamboo, which is a big treasure in the wilderness.
It can be used as a container, it can also be used to boil water, cook rice, and can also be used to weave various utensils.
If you find bamboo, your chances of survival will be greatly improved.
It's a pity that Xu Yi didn't have this good fortune.
After carrying the water back, Xu Yi directly took out the pebbles from the fire and boiled the water.
After the four wooden bowls were filled, Xu Yi put some fish and 16 crabs into the wooden barrel to cook.
In six to five minutes, the fish and crab are cooked.
The cassava was picked up, and the temperature was suitable.
"Daddy, this fish soup has a bit of a salty taste. ”
I haven't eaten salt for 8 days, which makes Su Keke very excited.
Xu Yi also took a sip, which was indeed a little salty.
Before coming to the wilderness, Xu Yi didn't quite understand what it was like to fade out of the bird's smell.
After I came, I had a deep understanding.
Human beings really can't do without saltiness.
On the ninth day, they tasted some salt, and Xu Yi and Su Keke were a little excited.
Salt is indeed a headache for them at the moment.
Finding salt in the jungle is not an easy task.
Unless, you can find a salt mine, or you can find a plant like halophylla.
Half a cassava for two, served with fish soup and crab.
The best meal I ate was this morning.
"Dad, this crab shell is so soft, can I eat it?"
Su Keke chewed on the small river crab and looked at Xu Yi with a smile.
"Well, yes, chew it a little. ”
Xu Yi felt that the salt taste seemed to come from these crabs.
Because the saltiness of the crab shell is relatively strong, Su Keke wants to eat all the crab shells.
"I'm so happy when I'm so full. ”
Su Keke touched his bulging little belly, and his face was full of happy smiles.
"Don't worry, we can eat so much every day in the future. ”
Xu Yi is now more and more confident, after all, today is the ninth day, and they have not encountered any danger.
Moreover, they also have a certain amount of food reserves.
This river can provide them with a sufficient and stable source of protein.
As long as they guard the river, they won't go hungry.
If you don't go hungry, you have enough energy to do things, to make tools, to make weapons.
With enough weapons, there's nothing to be afraid of encountering beasts.
After resting for a while, Xu Yi took out the handles of the two toothbrushes that he had sharpened yesterday.
Xu Yi sharpened a fine charcoal with a stone knife and drew a line on the handle of the toothbrush so that he could drill a row of relatively straight holes.
The hand drill is still very powerful, and Xu Yi easily drilled two rows of small holes in the handle of the toothbrush.
Because the drill bit is relatively large, it can only drill two rows.
After turning the holes of the two toothbrushes, Xu Yi took out the hard hairs he had picked up earlier.
Then, Xu Yi pulled out a hair of his own.
There was no way, he didn't have a string, and he had to use his own hair.
This is a delicate job, and the bristles should be of the right thickness. It's too thick to fit into the hole, and it's too thin to fall off.
After all, he didn't have much of a binder.
Xu Yi counted the numbers, so that as long as the first bundle was tried, the rest would not be much different.
Because the size of the holes drilled is almost the same, and so are the stiff hairs.
It is also because the hair is relatively hard, so it is easy to try out the first bundle of bristles.
As long as you get a small bundle and stuff it in, you can insert it one by one until you can't insert it, and you can know the final amount.
With the first bunch, the rest is done quickly.
Half an hour later, Xu Yi got his first toothbrush.
"Coco, come and try our new toothbrush. ”
Xu Yi asked Su Keke to try it for the first time.
Su Keke put down the basket that was still weaving in his hand, took the toothbrush in Xu Yi's hand, put it in his mouth and brushed it.
After brushing for a while, Su Keke picked up the water in the bowl and rinsed his mouth.
"Dad, the toothbrush is soft and comfortable. ”
Xu Yi took the toothbrush and took a look, found that it had not lost hair, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Daddy make a mark on your brushing and then we won't mess up. ”
As he spoke, Xu Yi raised a burning branch, and then scalded it a few times.
