Chapter 180: Catching a Piranha
"Could this be ......" Han Lingshuang opened her mouth wide in surprise, and her slender jade hand lightly covered her mouth, "You want to fish for piranhas?" ”
The piranas in the water are frantically gnawing and making a fierce splash, and these guys are really ferocious.
The rhythm coming from the tail of the Komodo dragon can clearly feel the violent gnawing and tearing under the water, and even standing on the shore feels creepy.
Wu Yicai had also watched some videos before, and saw some people using meat to catch piranhas, and he thought it was awesome at the time.
But now you can experience what it's like to fish for piranhas.
"What are you still doing in a daze, quickly put the iron pot here, the bait will be eaten up when it is too late!" Wu Yicai shouted at the somewhat cute Han Lingshuang, why did this girl be confused at a critical moment.
"Oh......" Han Lingshuang felt that her mind and body were out of sync, and the picture of fishing for piranas was too shocking.
"Whoa~!"
"Flutter Ridge ~ Flutter Ridge ~!"
Quickly dragged the Komodo dragon out of the water, and there were many palm-sized red and cyan fish biting on it.
"Bang~!"
Some piranhals fell from the top of the meat after it was out of the water, but Wu Yicai had already moved the pieces of meat to the land quickly.
"Bang~!"
"Puff Ridge~!"
The piranha is on the ground, jumping in the iron pot, and in the water this group of rampant and ferocious predators is the existence at the top of the food chain, and in the deep water, the crocodiles have to avoid three points.
But once on land, these guys are just poor worms who can only struggle and wait for death, and they have no attack power at all.
"Haha, really, originally I just wanted to give it a try, but now it seems like a very bad idea!"
Wu Yicai also tried the method, and it turned out to be really easy to operate, and it was successful!
There were about a dozen piranas struggling on the ground and in the iron pot, trying to swim, but it was all air, not the water they were familiar with.
"This is the piranha?" Han Lingshuang squatted on the ground, her tight snakeskin pants were propped up. Especially the two big grapefruits, they look very upright and full, soft and attractive.
The body of the piranha is oval and flattened on the sides, the body is gray-green, the back is dark green, the belly is bright red, its skull is very hard, the teeth of the upper and lower jaws are very sharp, and the fit between the teeth is perfect when biting.
Wu Yi remembered that at that time, because it had just rained by the river, a few fish were stranded in the mud pit trap he made, including two freshwater fish similar to pomfret.
In fact, it is a piranha, because piranha belongs to the pomfret family, also known as man-eating pomfret, but Wu Yicai is also bold enough, he went ashore last time he grabbed the fish directly, and when he dissected it, he didn't notice that the fish was actually a piranha, and he even ignored the sharp teeth.
Those who don't know are the most fearless, Wu Yicai thought that he was holding two piranhasis casually and smashing them to death with stones in the dissection, and he should have had close contact with the head of the fish a few times, but fortunately he was not bitten.
In order to test the bite force of the piranha, Wu Yi picked up a piranha, this time saw the razor-sharp teeth, and stuffed a thin rattan into the fish's mouth.
"Click~!"
I can really hear the sound, and I can also see the bite force of the piranha, this guy is more ferocious than a tiger in the water, and he is an invincible existence.
Continue to fish for piranas with the flesh of the Komodo dragon, while Han Lingshuang collects piranhas, these guys are very fragile on land, as long as they don't die and stick their fingers in their mouths, they will be fine.
Wu Yicai has been using the flesh of the Komodo dragon to catch piranhas, these guys are very fierce, but their IQ is not high, just wait for the piranha to eat more pieces of meat, and then lift them up suddenly, you will find that there are many piranas biting on the pieces of meat, and their tails are still swinging.
"Wow~ It's okay, now the iron pot can't be filled directly, and the bamboo basket is also full." Han Lingshuang blushed and fluttered, very excited, because there were a lot of piranas caught just now, Han Lingshuang returned to the shelter and took all the bamboo baskets.
Now the iron pot and 2 bamboo baskets are full, all of them are piranhas, this is too crazy, just use a piece of meat to reach into the water to attract piranhas, and this time I caught so much!
There are a lot of these heavy piranhas, about 50 catties, which can store grain well, and the best storage method is to make fish fillets after smoking.
When I used to travel, I used to buy fish fillets from small vendors by the sea, and the taste was very good, the sweet and mellow fish fillets were very delicious, and the shredded squid was also good, but I didn't know how to make it.
It should be made with sugar and salt through a special process, and Wu Yicai is not clear about the general method, but he has his own local method, sprinkle sugar and salt after smoking, and then let the fish fillets absorb it, and finally dry it, the effect should be similar to that of the fish fillets sold.
Dinner was naturally piranha, and the best thing to do was to charcoal-grill, because of the tsunami, the surrounding volcanic rocks were gone, and today's exploration did not find any such magical stones.
But there is another place in Wu Yicai's impression that there are such magical volcanic stones, that is, on the cliff, near the seaside, where a large number of volcanic stones are also piled up.
In fact, when you have the opportunity, you can go there and get some volcanic stones, and the barbecue made from this stone is very delicious, and it is evenly heated, and there is not much smell.
Handle a few piranhas, penetrate them with wooden sticks, and slowly smoke them diagonally in front of the fire, this work was taught to Han Lingshuang, and Wu Yicai was responsible for cleaning up all the remaining piranhas, and then building a smoking room to smoke and roast these fish.
In the wild, the best way to ensure that the food is fresh and not spoiled is to remove the water, or use salt to pickle, according to the taste, Wu Yi chose the former.
The smokehouse is divided into five tiers, each about 10 centimeters apart, with a tripod built on long bamboo poles and interspersed with a number of grid-like horizontal bars.
In this way, you only need to spread the piranha on the grid, and you don't need to tie it up with a rope one by one, which is convenient and convenient.
The outside of the smokehouse is covered with the few plantain leaves and palm leaves that surround it, and the smoked material is still turquoise bamboo, and the fish smoked with this material has a hint of bamboo, and it is delicious to eat.
I had planned to come back and make some gear to deal with the stinging bees, but now that it is getting late, I may have to say goodbye to the delicious and sweet honey for a while.
The hole in the sequoia tree was huge, and based on the number of bees around, you could guess that the amount of honey stored inside must be surprisingly large.
Tomorrow you can gear up and go collect honey, and now it's time to enjoy your meal.
