Chapter 176: Blackwater Swamp (8)

The crocodile tail is not finished after being removed, and it still has to be peeled, Liu Danqing used a mountain knife to cut the skin on the crocodile tail, while muttering: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity?" Xiao Weiwei asked as she stood on guard to prevent another crocodile from coming in the water and hurting people.

"It's a pity that the skin on the crocodile tail is a good thing, but it's a pity that we don't have kitchen utensils and no ingredients, otherwise, make a yellow braised crocodile tail, the taste is simple. ”

"Can't you think of another way?" As a foodie among foodies, never giving up the pursuit of food is a necessary quality for Xiao Weiwei.

"I've thought about it, but I really can't help it, there are no taro leaves here, and we can't simmer them like steaming fish on the beach, and the soil here can't do it, and we can't wrap it in pond mud like making a chicken. ”

"However, our requirements can't be too high, otherwise it won't be like survival in the wilderness, and it will directly become a food show, just this crocodile tail, it is also extremely delicious. ”

This sentence has caused countless viewers to complain.

As far as your show is concerned, it's not a food show, just this one, it's already Burmese python meat and a giant crocodile tail, what do you want to do, eat dragon meat?

The so-called heart has a soul, the audience just thought of dragon meat, and Liu Danqing also mentioned it, but it is not a real dragon, but the cousin of the legendary dragon, Zhu Po Long, and Jiao.

"This alligator is a close relative of the Chinese alligator, and it is also the only two remaining alligators in the world. ”

"In ancient times, the Yangtze crocodile was generally called a dragon, a pig or a dragon, in addition to the first title, the latter two are related to the dragon, don't think I brag, saying that the Chinese crocodile is Jiao. ”

"In our hometown, there has been a story called the three evils of the week, there is also a repertoire of "three evils" in the Peking Opera, this week is the general of Pingxi of the Western Jin Dynasty, when he was young, he was a disaster in the township, and was called one of the three evils by the neighbors, and the other two evils are the tiger on the mountain, the Jiao in the water, and the Jiao in the water is a huge Chinese crocodile. ”

"There is another saying about this Jiao, that is, the giant python is transformed, the so-called python is transformed into Jiao, Jiao is transformed into a dragon. Today, we eat crocodile meat with python meat, both of which are fierce beasts that can be counted as at least half of the Jiao, and we eat them together, which can be regarded as eating the Jiao. ”

Liu Danqing said here, Xiao Weiwei looked forward to and yearning, this meal, the taste is not concerned for the time being, just say this B grade, this grade, who else?

When Liu Danqing removed the thick skin and took out the python tail in the middle, the volume was about half smaller.

Liu Danqing checked it and said: "Well, there are still more than ten or twenty catties left, remove the bones on this tail, that is, ten catties of meat, just one meal, and travel lightly tomorrow." ”

Sure enough, Liu Danqing is also a foodie, such a big crocodile tail, a light meal, at least five catties of meat per person.

"Weiwei, you stare at the point, I'll get some water. Liu Danqing changed places, scooped most of the pot of water in the water with an aluminum pot, looked at it, and said: "It looks quite clear, but it is estimated that it is not clean inside, no matter what, just boil." ”

Since killing this big crocodile, Liu Danqing has also been extremely cautious about this water, and even when he was fetching water, he didn't forget to let Xiao Weiwei help keep an eye on it.

Indeed, he didn't expect that this small island was a concentration of crocodiles, and now there are already three of them, except for the one that was killed, the other two don't know where to go, and the one that can't be seen is the most dangerous, so he can't be careless.

After beating the water, the two of them simply and quickly washed their shoes, socks and trouser legs at the water's edge, and removed the silt on them, which was considered to have completed the cleaning work.

"Weiwei, let's go, let's make a fire in the center of the island, build a shelter, and burn crocodile meat. ”

Liu Danqing held crocodile meat in one hand and an aluminum pot in the other, and walked towards the center of the island.

Xiao Weiwei's hands were not idle, holding two spears in one hand and a snake meat package made of T-shirts in the other, and followed Liu Danqing to the middle of the island.

After finding a flat open space, Liu Danqing put down the objects in his hand and said, "Weiwei, while the sky is still bright, let's go find firewood first, prepare to make a fire, light a fire, and start building a shelter." ”

The two have a clear division of labor, one uses a mountain knife to cut some small trees, the other picks up the branches of those dead trees, and occasionally touches the dead trees that are still erected, Xiao Weiwei also went up and kicked two feet, to see the situation, she really kicked off a dead tree with the thickness of a calf, and let her drag it back to the shelter with a "hi hey".

Liu Danqing prepared the dead branches of various levels as usual, and then used the magnesium rods and scrapers on the bracelet on his hand, which had lost a lot of weight, to light the fire and let it quickly turn into a fire.

Placing the trunks of the two dead trees side by side on both sides of the fire and putting the aluminum pot on the rack, Liu Danqing said: "When I was cutting down the tree just now, I found that there were no palm trees on this small island, and there were no herbaceous plants with large leaves, which means that we have to think of a way." ”

"This island may have been in the water for a while, it was very humid, and at night, as the temperature drops, the moisture on the ground rises and it gets colder, so we have to find a way to warm ourselves up. ”

"I took a look, there are a lot of lichens on the ground here, although the color is a little yellow, it is estimated that it was blistered a while ago, but it can still be used. But before using them, to bake them and remove the moisture, let's set up three racks first. ”

Liu Danqing first made four triangular braces, that is, put three pieces of wood together, tie a vine at one-third, and then stretch the long end open, which is a very stable shelf.

Place the four triangular braces on the four corners of the fire, then place the longer trunks on two by two, and set up shelves in three directions of the fire, leaving one direction for the two of them to bake the fire and do their work.

After making the shelf, the next step is to take the lichen.

Holding the mountain opening knife, Liu Danqing drew a square grid of fifty or sixty centimeters on the lichen, and then used the mountain opening knife to shovel up pieces of lichen from the soil.

Xiao Weiwei put the shoveled lichen on the shelf and let the fire roast it, and after a while, white steam rose on the lichen, which was the phenomenon that the moisture inside was evaporated by high temperature.

In addition to steaming and drying the water, roasted lichen also has a function, which is to remove insects in lichens, especially one of the specialties here, diving fleas, these small things that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, after biting, will bring a skin disease, called kelping flea disease, the scientific name is dermatophilia. It can itch for up to three months.
