Chapter Eighty-Eight: Burns

Of course, the salt contained in the sea water alone is simply not enough, so Hou Yi carried the cleaned goats and returned to the place of survival. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

If the salt is not enough, you can exchange it with the production team, but Hou Yi feels that it is unnecessary, I heard that the sea water is rich in salt, so boiling the sea water dry, can the salt be extracted? Although this experiment has not been done, Hou Yi feels that it has value in practice.

took out the pot exchanged from the program team from Yu Yue's backpack, and after loading a slow pot of seawater, Hou Yi placed the pot on the banana leaf with the goat meat.

Entering the jungle of the island, Hou Yi began to look for firewood on the ground to burn, and the coconut shells all over the ground were undoubtedly the best material, these hollowed out coconut shells were dry and oily, which was very suitable for fuel.

After getting a large number of coconut shells and some dry branches that fell on the ground from the forest, Hou Yi went back and forth between the beach and the jungle again and again, each time he came out with a handful of dead branches or coconut shells, piling up a pile of high.

The firewood was enough, Hou Yi stopped his search, and dug a small pit on the beach, because it was sand, so it was very easy, and Hou Yi was ready to use this small pit as a brazier.

took out the lighter, lit the dead leaves used to start the fire, watched the flames devour the leaves, and in a blink of an eye it was already burning vigorously, Hou Yi hurriedly threw the leaves into the sand pit, and then gently put some small dry branches to increase the fire, when the small branches have been ignited, Hou Yi began to put larger branches.

Waiting for the flames to burn vigorously, Hou Yi was not idle. I cut two branches with a hand axe, and all the parts of the branches were selected, and two Y-shaped support poles were made, which were buried at both ends of the bunker and used as supports, and these brackets must be some distance from the ignition of the bunker to prevent them from ignition, and at the same time, a tree trunk was placed on the branch as a beam, and after that, as long as the iron pot filled with water was hung on the beam, you could wait for the flame to boil the seawater in the pot, evaporate the water in the seawater, and leave the sea salt.

Hou Yi threw some chopped dry wood and coconut shells into the fire from time to time, the temperature of the flame and the heat wave brought by direct sunlight made Hou Yi sweat, but Hou Yi didn't care, the sweat flowed a lot, next to the sea, you can go to the sea to take a bath, which is also what Hou Yi expected.

As time and temperature increased, some steam was already emitted from the pot, and the sea water was already boiling with the lid of the pot.

But what Hou Yi needed was not boiling water, but the salt that had evaporated from the seawater, so he continued to add firewood. Considering that such a fire was a bit wasteful, Hou Yi found a fresh and delicate trunk, peeled off the bark wrapped outside, and washed it again in the seawater, sharpening the front end.

Directly cut off one of the goat's retreats with an axe, cut off the trotters of the next section, leaving only the fat leg of mutton, inserting the trunk directly into the leg of mutton, using a multi-functional saber to cut a gap on the leg of the goat, and inserting this leg of mutton not far from the fire, not letting it directly accept the burning of the flame, but relying solely on the temperature of the flame to heat, this is the best way to deal with the barbecue, the meat will not be burned, and the heating is uniform, which can achieve the best effect, that is, the time is longer.

The gurgling sound is getting louder and louder, and the steam is emitting faster and faster, Hou Yi is already sweating profusely, but he still hasn't stopped his movements, and suddenly a pair of slender white hands holding a towel handed to Hou Yi: "Wipe the sweat." ”

Hou Yi looked up when he heard the sound, Yu Yue had actually woken up, and was holding a towel and handing it to himself: "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

"Yangguan is too big, but it's you, don't you need jet lag?" Yu Yue sat on the side of Hou Yi, and sweat had begun to ooze from Bai Xuan's forehead.

Hou Yi waved his hand: "You can use it yourself, I don't need it." With that, he continued to add fuel to the fire.

Yu Yue looked at the boiling iron pot curiously and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Distilling seawater, extracting salt." Hou Yi explained.

Yu Yueyou pointed to the goat carcass on the banana leaf and the goat's leg next to the fire and asked, "This is what you hunted when we were sleeping." ”

Hou Yi's expression was a little strange: "It's not hunting, it's just picking up a bargain." After saying that, he turned the leg of mutton stuck in the sand, changed the side and continued to roast, the leg of mutton that had been roasted by the fire for a while had already exuded a hint of meaty aroma, and the tender red leg of lamb also became dark red.

Yu Yue nodded and didn't speak, just quietly looked at the fire.

Hou Yi continued to be busy, while flipping the leg of mutton, while paying attention to the seawater in the pot, but also to add firewood to the fire, when the water in the pot has been burned to the bottom, Hou Yi hurriedly picked up the beam on the fire, took it down with the iron pot, and put it on the beach, the sound of zila zila sounded on the beach, and the temperature of the iron pot was already very high.

Hou Yi pulled out the branches used to make beams, came to the iron pot, and tested the lid with his hands, and the hot temperature directly made him a little clueless.

Yu Yue wrapped her little hands with a towel and helped Hou Yi remove the lid of the pot: "Don't thank me." ”

Hou Yi nodded kindly, and put his eyes into the iron pot, the original full pot of seawater has only a shallow layer left, and the four walls of the pot are stuck with a layer of white granular items, which is sea salt.

Hou Yi put a little bit of it into his mouth with his fingers, and tasted the taste of the grains slightly with his tongue, the salty taste was salt.

Hou Yi was overjoyed, this can really extract salt, and hurriedly poured all the remaining seawater in the pot, looked at the white salt layer attached to the inner wall of the pot, and began to talk about the salt scraped off with a saber.

The sound of clattering came and went, and Hou Yizai carefully scraped off all the salt, and carefully collected it all with a wide leaf, and the salt boiled out of a pot of seawater was just a handful, but it was enough.

With these sea salts, Hou Yi came to the goat's carcass, and began to carefully start to smear the meat, there were still some salt in the pot that could not be taken off, Hou Yi also asked Yu Yue to go to the production team to get pure water, pour it into the pot, cut off a leg of mutton again, remove all the meat on the leg of mutton, put it in the pot, and prepare to cook a pot of mutton soup.

Xu Liting also woke up at this time, joined in to help, and under the command of Hou Yi, together with Yu Yue, she lifted the branch used to make the beam, erected it on the support, hung the iron pot on the beam, and added some firewood to the fire pit where the fire had weakened.

Hou Yi is to do the pickling treatment of the goat, these salts are not much, but the goat is not very big, remove the skin and internal organs, just a little, after smearing the whole body with sea salt, Hou Yi made two small holes in the back of the mutton, stirred the two nylon ropes together, through the small holes, hung the goat, hung on the beam of the house, and dried the reserve.

This is just listening to the sound of "ah", Hou Yi hurriedly turned his head to look at the initiation of the sound, originally Yu Yue and Xu Liting raised the fire too high, and the inverted flame burned directly onto the beam that was used as a hanging iron pot, the inverted beam was roasted, and the pot fell into the fire pit, spilling out a large piece of mutton soup and some shredded mutton.

Hou Yi hurried over, ignoring the hot iron pot, he directly picked up the iron pot and moved it away from the fire, and placed it on the sand on the side, half of the flames in the fire pit had been extinguished, and the domestic soup was also one-third less.

"Hou Yi, are you okay?" Xu Liting looked at Hou Yi's hands a little nervously, so the hot iron pot Hou Yi was taken out of the fire directly, and the temperature would definitely make Hou Yi's hands burned.

Hou Yi felt a hot pain in his hands at this time, and hurriedly ran to the beach and plunged his hands into the sea to seek that coldness, although it was still a little painful, but he felt much better.

"It's okay, just be careful next time." Hou Yi turned his head and smiled.

Yu Yue was also rarely embarrassed to lower her head and squatted next to Hou Yi: "I'm really sorry, I haven't made food in the wild, so I don't know that the flame is too big to burn the bracket, I think the bigger the fire, the better."

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone has a first time, you go find a branch again, set it on the stand like you just did, this time the fire is smaller, just make sure the flame doesn't burn above the bottom of the pot." Hou Yi comforted, and at the same time smiled kindly, expressing encouragement.

Yu Yue saw that Hou Yi did not mean to reprimand at all, her face turned red, and she walked into the jungle with the hand axe thrown on the beach, Xu Liting also smiled apologetically at Hou Yi and followed Yu Yue.

"Hou Yi, you're okay, I'll give you some ointment." He Caihua came over with a cotton swab and a box of ointment, and she heard Wu Jun say that Hou Yi might have been burned, so she hurried over for emergency treatment.

Hou Yi took out his hands from the seawater, his palms were red, and there were small blisters in some places, He Caihua asked Hou Yi to drag his hands, carefully took out a knife, gently cut the blisters on Hou Yi's hands, and gently squeezed out the water inside: "It's all blistered, it hurts." ”

"It's okay, I'm rough and thick." Hou Yi smiled absently, watching He Caihua squeeze out the blisters for himself, and at the same time apply scalding cream.

"Alright, now you'd better be careful not to get wet." He Caihua took the medicine and said with a sigh of relief. Hou Yi smiled indifferently: "Well, it's okay, thank you." ”

Looking at He Caihua who was leaving, Hou Yi's expression was a little twitching at this time, after all, ten fingers are connected to the heart, and it is nonsense to say that it doesn't hurt, but it can still be endured.

At this time, Yu Yue and Xu Liting had already walked out of the jungle, came out with a branch similar to the trunk of the tree that had just been burned, and re-hung the iron pot rack in the fire, the fire had not been extinguished, and the firewood could be used again, but this time Yu Yue's expression was much more serious.

Hou Yi stood up and walked over, ready to flip the leg of lamb in the direction of the barbecue. But was stopped by Xu Liting: "You come and command me, you are injured now, you have to recuperate." ”

Hou Yi did not refuse, and commanded Xu Liting to roll the heated side of the leg of mutton, at this time the leg of mutton had already exuded a strong aroma of meat, and the golden fat slid down the golden mutton and dripped on the beach, making people drool.
