104. Seafood feast
Chen Zhe took Yan'er for a walk on the beach, and probably picked up enough ingredients for dinner.
Judging by the amount of ingredients, squid and kiwei shrimp are the most abundant in this area, and crabs and shellfish are less abundant.
In addition to these seafoods, Chen Zhe also found several very rare sea cucumbers, which were systematically identified as very precious plum ginseng, which is a rare and valuable food.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, Chen Zhe and Yan'er reluctantly left the "seafood supermarket".
They had to get the campfire up before it got dark.
Fortunately, when passing by the woods just now, Chen Zhe picked up some firewood, although there are also some branches on the beach, but because of the high humidity, the branches here are damp and can hardly be lit.
Firewood in the woods has less humidity and is suitable for making fires.
The two of them withdrew from the beach and walked all the way to the shore, and after walking a distance of five or six hundred meters, Chen Zhe stopped.
Yan'er was a little tired from walking, and asked puzzledly, "Brother Xiao Chen, is it necessary for us to be so far away from the beach?"
"Of course it's necessary. Chen Zhe nodded, "The island is in a state of low tide now, but it will rise in the early morning, and judging by the traces of the high tide, the part we walked through just now will be submerged by the sea." ”
"So that's ......" Yan'er finally understood why.
After retreating to safety, Chen Zhe chose the last place to camp next to two coconut trees, of course, avoiding directly underneath the coconut trees, because ripe coconuts sometimes fall naturally.
If you happen to sleep underneath, your head is likely to be smashed by a coconut.
After a period of training on the island, Chen Zhe was already very good at making fires, and he used a sharp branch to drill a piece of charcoal brought from the camp, and soon ignited the fire.
Immediately after the firewood was lit, a bonfire was lit, and the setting sun on the horizon just soaked into the sea, staining the distant sea level red.
Looking at the roaring bonfire, Yan'er's stomach suddenly rumbled again.
In the human subconscious, fire and food are often inextricably linked, so as soon as they see a flame, hungry people become even hungrier.
Yan'er was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly took the initiative to ask, "Brother Xiao Chen, what are we going to do with these ingredients, what do you need me to do?"
Chen Zhe said: "The most important thing to eat seafood is to eat its freshness, these seafood are just out of the sea, no need for any processing, just eat it." ”
"Shall we ...... Roasted, or boiled?" asked Yan'er again.
However, after asking, Yan'er suddenly realized a problem - although there is no shortage of food for the two of them at the beach, there is not enough fresh water.
In addition, if they want to boil or steam seafood, they don't have a suitable container, and the only thing to boil water is the military kettle provided by the program team, and the program team who picks the door doesn't even give them a pot.
"It seems that we can't cook seafood, it looks like we can only grill seafood. Yan'er said with some loss.
Of all the cooking methods, steaming preserves the umami of seafood the most, boiling comes second, and grilled seafood is even inferior.
Chen Zhe smiled and said, "You wait a minute, I'll go find something." ”
After that, he turned around and left the camp before it was completely dark, and Yan'er wondered for a while-what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd of Brother Xiao Chen?
After waiting for about ten minutes, Chen Zhe finally came back.
But he didn't come back empty-handed, but walked back with a few heavy stones.
Seeing these stones, Yan'er looked dazed and asked weakly, "Brother Xiao Chen, what are you doing here?"
Chen Zhe smiled lightly: "Of course it's steamed seafood." ”
"Steamed seafood?use stones?" Yan'er couldn't understand, what kind of operation was this?
Chen Zhe didn't rush to explain, but handed the wooden barrel to Yan'er and said, "Yan'er, help me get a sea water." ”
"Okay, okay. ”
Although Yan'er didn't understand what Chen Zhe was going to do, she believed that Chen Zhe must have his way.
Obediently listen to Brother Xiao Chen's words, he will definitely not suffer.
The little girl picked up the bucket and turned around and went to the beach to load the seawater, while Chen Zhe picked up the stones and threw them into the bonfire.
When Yan'er came back from the seawater, she saw Chen Zhe burning stones in the bonfire, which made her stunned and stunned.
Chen Zhe looked up at the stunned Yan'er, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Yan'er, what's wrong?"
Yan'er pointed to the stones in the bonfire and asked, "Brother Xiao Chen...... You burn ...... What are you burning stones for?"
"Steaming seafood, of course. Chen Zhe explained.
"Burning stones...... Steamed seafood?" Yan'er still can't figure it out, what's the matter?
At this time, Chen Zhe stood up, took the wooden barrel in Yan'er's hand, and then used two thick branches to pick up the hot stones burning in the bonfire and gently put them into the barrel.
Listening to the sound of "bang", the seawater in the wooden barrel encountered the hot stone, and immediately evaporated the curling water vapor, Chen Zhe hurriedly put the crab and sea cucumber on the wooden barrel, so that the steamed seafood was realized.
Seeing this, Yan'er finally understood Chen Zhe's "sassy operation", and the little girl was completely impressed by this self-made "steamer", clapping her hands and saying: "Brother Xiao Chen, your trick is too good!"
Chen Zhe smiled and said, "In this way, Yan'er can eat delicious steamed crabs and steamed sea cucumbers." ”
"That's great. Yan'er happily hugged Chen Zhe's arm and shook it, and then said, "By the way, I'll go grill squid." ”
"Good. Chen Zhe nodded, handed the squid to Yan'er, and asked her to hold it and roast it on the bonfire.
However, he was not idle, but carried a blood-drinking knife to pick up coconuts under the coconut tree.
There are the most coconuts on the seaside, and they are all over the place, Chen Zhe picked and chosen, and finally found two that were in good condition.
Using a blood-drinking knife to open a mouth on the coconut shell, Chen Zhe picked up the coconut and drank it.
"Knock ......"
The coconut water flows in the mouth, slightly light, not particularly sweet.
"No...... It doesn't taste perfect. ”
Chen Zhe frowned slightly, pondering dissatisfied.
Since the seafood is the most delicious, the sweetest coconut water must be drunk.
So he didn't hesitate to open the system and began to make artificial modifications to the coconut water.
[A Plain Coconut] - Upgrade - [A Delicious Coconut].
Pick it up and taste it again, and the coconut water will become sweet and mellow.
"That's right!"
Chen Zhe was finally satisfied, nodded approvingly, returned to the bonfire with two big coconuts, and smiled at Yan'er and said, "Yan'er, come, drink coconut water!"
Yan'er hurriedly got up and took the coconut, picked it up and tasted it, and then smiled sincerely:
"Wow...... Brother Xiao Chen, this coconut water is too delicious......"
