Chapter 405: Harvest
Qin Xiusheng walked out of the forest holding the branches, he looked at the seaside, and found that Mo Tong was sitting on the ground at this time, looking at the endless sea, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
Holding a branch and walking to Mo Tong's side, Qin Xiusheng said, "What are you thinking?"
Turning her head to glance at Qin Xiusheng, the expression of the ink pupil was a little strange, so that Qin Xiusheng couldn't see what she was thinking in her heart.
"You came back, didn't catch a hare?" Seeing that Qin Xiusheng was only holding a bunch of branches used as firewood, Mo Tong couldn't help but speak, "Sure enough, this kind of thing is still too reluctant for you." When the injury on my foot heals, I'll freeze my hand. In the past few days, I will first satisfy my hunger with wild fruits. ”
Hearing Mo Tong's words, Qin Xiusheng suffered a blow in his heart. Although Mo Tong is a killer, both in terms of skill and experience in surviving in the wild, he is much richer and more powerful than Qin Xiusheng. But after all, he is also very manly, and he can't hold his face when Mo Tong says this to his face.
"I've made the trap, and I'm sure there will be a hare on the hook. Qin Xiusheng squatted next to the pile of branches, and kept colliding with the two stones he had picked up, wanting to use this to raise the fire, "When the fire is raised, I will go back and take a look, there will definitely be a harvest." ”
Seeing Qin Xiusheng's stubborn appearance, a smile appeared on the corner of Mo Tong's mouth. She shook her head lightly and said, "According to your method, I'm afraid I won't be able to raise the fire at dawn tomorrow." Well, then, you go find a relatively large branch, preferably a piece of bark, and leave the fire to me. ”
Although he was a little unwilling, Qin Xiusheng knew that as a killer, Mo Tong was definitely more experienced than himself in this regard. He nodded, and returned to the forest again, searching for it as Motong had instructed.
Soon, Qin Xiusheng found a fallen tree. Judging from the bark, this tree had just fallen not long ago, and it was not very large, relying on Qin Xiusheng alone to be able to drag it to the sea.
After a lot of effort, Qin Xiusheng finally dragged the fallen tree to the seashore. Mo Tong saw what Qin Xiusheng had found, and nodded with satisfaction.
Picking out a suitable one from the branches, Mo Tong pressed the branch against the tree that Qin Xiusheng dragged over, and quickly spun it.
This method Qin Xiusheng naturally knew that the so-called drilling wood for fire. In Qin Xiusheng's opinion, if he wanted to use this method to make a fire, he was afraid that it would be more difficult than him using two stones.
Just when Qin Xiusheng wanted to open his mouth to taunt Mo Tong and save some face for himself, he suddenly found a burst of white eyes coming out of the trunk.
Seeing Qin Xiusheng's somewhat embarrassed appearance, Mo Tong chuckled lightly and said, "Okay, don't stand here stupidly anymore." Go to the trap you've dug and see if there's any prey on the bait. ”
Qin Xiusheng nodded and walked into the forest as if he had run away. The ink pupil easily raised the fire, making him feel a big blow.
Qin Xiusheng prayed silently in his heart as he walked in the direction where the trap was. There must be a hare that falls into the trap so that he can regain some face in front of Ink Pupil.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but be stunned. I don't know when he started to attach so much importance to his image in the eyes of Mo Tong. Shaking his head vigorously, Qin Xiusheng hurriedly shook off the dangerous thoughts that rose in his heart. Now that the two of them are on a desert island, they shouldn't think about what they have or don't have. How to survive and find a way to get out of the desert island is what should be prioritized right now.
While thinking like this, Qin Xiusheng finally walked to the side of the trap. Seeing that the leaves covering the trap had collapsed, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. It seems that the trap that he has worked so hard to dig has finally paid off, and the prey has fallen into the trap so quickly.
The excited Qin Xiusheng quickly ran to the edge of the trap, and sure enough, there was a hare trapped in the trap. Qin Xiusheng grabbed the hare with his hands with an excited face, looking at the strong muscles on its body, this hare that was still alive and jumping had already turned into a golden roasted hare with a fragrant aroma in Qin Xiusheng's eyes.
Bringing the hare back to the seashore, Qin Xiusheng shook it in front of Mo Tong's eyes as if offering a treasure, "Look, I'll just say that my trap must have an effect." ”
Seeing Qin Xiusheng's expression of a child who wanted to be praised, Mo Tong couldn't help but give him a roll of his eyes, "The fire has risen, and then it's up to you to perform, how to turn this cute hare into a delicious dinner." ”
Qin Xiusheng grabbed the hare's ears with one hand, patted his chest with the other, and said confidently, "Leave it to me and you can rest assured." I can't guarantee anything else, but you won't be able to fault the craftsmanship of my cooking. ”
After speaking, Qin Xiusheng took the rabbit to the beach. After washing and peeling the rabbit, another question appeared in front of Qin Xiusheng. The ingredients and the fire were ready, but the most important seasoning was missing. No matter how good the meat of the hare is, how precisely he cooks it. Without seasonings, there's no way to make a satisfying dish.
Seasonings such as chili peppers are gone, and you can't ask for so much on a desert island, and you can barely make do with it. However, if there is no salt, even if he roasts it well, I am afraid it will be difficult to eat.
At this moment, Qin Xiusheng suddenly slapped his thigh hard. There is nothing else on this island, but the sea can find as many as you want. Even elementary school students know that salt is extracted from seawater. He doesn't have any salt, but he can refine it from seawater himself.
With Qin Xiusheng's knowledge, he knew that if he wanted to extract salt from seawater, as long as he heated the seawater and evaporated the water, the remaining solid was the coarse table salt. However, this is easy to say, but there is one of the biggest difficulties in implementing.
The only thing Qin Xiusheng and Mo Tong had with them was a dagger, and there was no container that could hold seawater. Even if you can use a larger leaf to hold a small amount of seawater, you can't just take it to the fire and heat it.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help frowning. Is there really no way to solve the problem of salt?
At this moment, Qin Xiusheng suddenly thought of a step in cooking, pickling. The so-called seawater may be used as salt water.
Qin Xiusheng nodded vigorously, feeling that this method was worth trying. He went to the sea and soaked the hare meat in the sea. I waited for a long time before returning to the fire with the same amount of rabbit meat as it had been soaked.
"Why did you go for so long?" Seeing that Qin Xiusheng had taken so long to deal with the hare, Mo Tong couldn't help but ask.
The corners of Qin Xiusheng's mouth raised a mysterious smile, and he said, "You just take a good look, this time it will definitely impress you." ”
