Chapter 213, Making a Pot

Previous Chapter

The rocky beach is best for hiding small fish and shrimp.

As Tang Fan continued to turn over the stones, he harvested more and more, and he harvested twenty or thirty three-inch-long yellow-bellied fish, and also caught more than a dozen two-inch river shrimp. If it weren't for the injuries on his body, which affected his actions, Tang Fan would have been able to catch more.

Of course, his main target, the big crab, also caught as many as seven, all of which were the size of a basketball and exceptionally full.

Feeling that the harvest was almost over, Tang Fan went to the shore, put the crab belly that had been bundled with grass stalks facing the sky on the stone, and threw the yellow belly fish and river shrimp in strings there, and then he took the dog-legged knife and began to walk deeper into the mountains and forests on the shore.

When the ingredients are ready, you have to prepare something to make a fire, and the firewood and grass on the bank of the river are a little damp, which is not suitable for cooking on a fire, so you can only walk far away if you want to find dry firewood.

As the river bank gets farther and drier, the vegetation below the waterfall is much more dense than above, and although it is also an ancient wood, it is a mountain forest, and there are bare stones everywhere, and the trees are not so dense.

It may also be because of this reason, there are no fierce beasts hiding nearby, anyway, Tang Fan walked cautiously for a while, and he didn't find any potential danger.

Tang Fan found a dead old tree, the thickness of a bucket, and he didn't know how long it had been dead, the trunk and branches had been dried into wisps of cotton wool, this was definitely the best dry material, just such a one, it was enough to burn several times.

After finding the most suitable dry ingredients, Tang Fan re-picked some edible wild mushrooms he knew as side dishes...... The mushrooms I picked in the morning were turned into mushroom puree in my backpack.

And while searching for dried materials and mushrooms, Tang Fan also made a new discovery that made him happy.

It was a plant he knew—Artemisia bitter!

This thing is actually very common in the wild, and at first glance it looks a bit like a carrot tassel, and it also looks a bit like a large bamboo, with small, fine and dense leaves.

Artemisia annua is a kind of medicinal material, but basically people who know Artemisia annua only know that this thing is a good object for cooling off the heat and detoxifying, and only a few people know that this thing can also invigorate blood and reduce swelling!

"It's really dozing off, someone will send a pillow! This thing is fried in water, take a hot bath, and then boil some ointment on the body, with the crab's 'internal consumption'...... The injury must be healed quickly!"

The appearance of Artemisia made Tang Fan extremely happy, even happier than discovering new ingredients, after all, what he needed most now was to treat his injuries, and if he was in good health, everything else was not a problem!

didn't say anything, he directly pulled out the whole root of the small tree-like artemisia, Tang Fan just dragged the two trees, one dead and one alive, and returned to the shore satisfied.

Next, it's time for dinner......

Today's dinner is also rich in ingredients, crabs, river shrimp, mushrooms, and a new ingredient - yellow-bellied fish.

With meat and vegetables, these four ingredients are enough for Tang Fan to make several dishes, and the only trouble is how to cook.

The simplest is naturally to roast with fire, but the other three are easy to say, but the basketball-sized crab, the whole barbecue will be very troublesome, split and easy to lose nutrients, the best way is to steam, and whether it is steaming or boiling, you need to use a stove - pot.

This is exactly the equipment that Tang Fan wanted to bring most before coming to the other world.

Originally, the pot should be a big trouble for Tang Fan, who was wandering alone in the other world.

But fortunately, he had several ideas before he came to the other world, plus he had two special sabers by his side, so it was not so troublesome to make a pot.

"Pot, pot, pot, where are you ......"

Tang Fan muttered in his mouth, but his eyes swept over the many stones on the bank of the river, and soon, a large stone that matched his mind came into view.

His eyes lit up immediately, "Hey, I found it!"

Walking over quickly, Tang Fan looked at the big stone carefully, looking east and west......

This is an oval stone the size of a small jar, with a very round and natural arc, about one meter long, seventy or eighty centimeters high, and a smooth surface, like a large egg.

Gently tapped with the handle of the knife, looked at the hardness and the knocking down of the stone chips, Tang Fan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, it's you!"

Turning the stone a few times, Tang Fan took out the one-meter-long mountain knife from the back of his backpack, and after aiming at the side of the stone a few times, he rounded his hands and made a fierce force...... With a snort, the long blade immediately slashed into the center of the side of the stone with great precision.

It is not uncommon for a knife to be able to cut stones, and a special saber that can cut through steel is naturally easy to deal with stones, which is also where Tang Fan's confidence lies.

The blade entered the stone, Tang Fan did not pull out the mountain opening knife, but used his arm forcefully, slightly thrusting left and right, and slowly and carefully began to cut the stone...... He used the knife as a saw.

Snort, snort, sneer...... Stone powder kept falling.

In just a few moments, a whole stone was cut in half.

Placing the two cut stones facing up side by side on the ground, Tang Fan put away the mountain knife, took out a slightly shorter dogleg knife, and then continued to cut the stones.

It's just that the progress this time is a little slow, because Tang Fan wants to hollow out the middle part of the two stones, and he also wants to make the 'skin' of the two stones thinner as much as possible, so the cutting is more careful and slow......

That's right, Tang Fan is using this stone to make a pot.

The oval-shaped stone, as long as it is split in half and hollowed out, is it just a big pot, and the other half becomes a pot lid, or a perfect pot lid that is pure nature......

"This idea is not too wonderful! I am a genius!" While doing it, Tang Fan also praised himself shamelessly.

Time passed slowly, and hollowing out the two halves of the stone did not cost Tang Fan much effort.

There is an iron plate carving skill in the body, and it is easy and pleasant to get a pot and a lid out, and even Tang Fan is still at the edge of the half of the stone in the pot, and he also carved a circle of card slots to come out, which is used as a grate when cooking.

The two completed stone pots were washed with clean water from the river, and the most important stove for the night was completed.

"Perfect!"

Looking at the pure natural stone pot that was buckled together, Tang Fan was very satisfied with his results.

Although the shape of this pot is not too good-looking, it can definitely take on a big responsibility, and cooking a few meals is not a problem at all.

"OK, now that you have the pot, it's time to get into the cooking part, if you're done early, you can eat early, and you can take a break early......"

After moving his body, which was becoming more and more sore, Tang Fan mustered up his energy and began to prepare dinner quickly.
