Chapter 17: Expedition to the Barbecue

Time jumps back to the present. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After a day's sailing at sea, it was already night.

"Ruyue, it's almost evening, let's stop here today." I put my fishing rod down and said to Rutsuki, who was sitting watching me and Akai fish.

"It's been a day, let's rest, it's not in a hurry anyway." Akai said.

Ruyue nodded, "Hey, today's harvest is very good." "After a day of manipulation and my guidance on mental power, Ruyue has been able to control this ship relatively proficiently.

Ruyue crouched down and looked at the iron bucket next to us, which was full of buckets of fish, all kinds of them, swimming around in the iron bucket with half a bucket of water, as if looking for a way to escape this small space.

In addition, all the puffer fish we caught were put in a separate bucket by us, after all, the puffer fish was full of thorns, and it would be bad if they stabbed other fish.

Sailing on the sea is undoubtedly a very boring thing, because, apart from the hull and the sky, the surrounding scenery is only an endless ocean no matter how you look at it.

But Ruyue didn't feel bored, too, after all, she is a ship girl, and the days of sailing on the sea are probably much more than the time we spend walking on land.

And at night in the sea, visibility is even lower than on land.

Thanks to the calm weather today, we sailed very smoothly on the sea, but because there was no wind, we sailed very slowly.

Therefore, I installed a few oars on both sides of the cabin, and let Ruyue use her mental power to control the rowing.

During the half-asleep day of fishing, even at night, Akai and I still didn't feel the slightest sleepiness, after all, we slept too much intermittently during the day, so Akai and I looked at the various fish we caught and decided what to do.

"Ahh Akai said with some distress.

I spread my hands, "I've fished so much when I come to my senses, do you want to release some of them?" ”

Akai thought for a moment, "Let's put some of it, and leave some for storage." ”

"En・・・・・・" But I seemed to think of something, and suddenly an inspiration crossed my heart, and I grabbed this thought, and suddenly paid attention.

"Actually, we can do this!" I clapped my hands and said to Ruyue, who was sitting with her knees in her arms, "Yo Xi, let's have a barbecue!" ”

"Huh?!" Ruyue, who was wandering, seemed to be redrawn by my attention, and let out a lovely puzzled sound.

"Barbecue?" Akai was stunned, and then reacted, "Oh, yes, that's a good idea." ”

Akai nodded, he hadn't eaten like that for a long time, and it was good to occasionally reminisce about the feeling of surviving in the wild.

"I'll go get the materials." Akai stood up and walked to the cabin.

"Eh, Xia Jun・・・・・・ although there is no problem with barbecue or something, but ・・・・・・" Ruyue came back to her senses, looked at the wooden deck under her feet, and said with some embarrassment.

In response, I pushed my glasses, "It's just a small thing." ”

As I spoke, a white light flashed in my hand, and an iron axe was held in my hand. I let Ruyue back a little, and then I swung my iron axe at the wooden deck in front of my feet, and ten seconds later, I had opened a three-by-three hole in the wooden deck in front of me.

Then I took out nine stone bricks and replaced them.

"・・・・・・ that's a convenient way to do it." That's okay, Ruyue said helplessly.

Indeed, if you replace the wooden deck with stone bricks, you will not be afraid of being caught on fire.

At this time, Akai also happened to take his things and walked out of the cabin.

"I've got my stuff done."

"Yes. Just drop it off in the center. I nodded and pointed at Akai.

So Akai placed the special tools for the finished barbecue in the center of the stone bricks.

"A campfire for barbecue, if only there were such handy things before, but it's not too late." I couldn't help but sigh.

"It's just a little more troublesome to do, and there are a lot of materials." Akai said, "Alright, turn up the fire, and start grilling the fish, Ruyue, do me a favor." ”

"Hey."

[Bonfire], as a unique item in the bamboo mod, can be used as more than just a fire for lighting.

It should be said that as long as it is a fire, you can grill things, but compared to other fires, the bonfire is not only much more beautiful in appearance, but also very strong and windproof.

The materials used to make a bonfire are somewhat complicated, and in the nine-square grid of the workbench, you need to use a bamboo basket to put on the top part, a flint and steel stone in the center, iron railings on both sides, and finally three charcoal to spread on the bottom layer.

Only charcoal can be used, not coal, and although the properties of the two are the same, coal cannot be synthesized.

After that, there is a series of cleaning processes, although even if most of the fish in this world are eaten raw, it will be fine, but people, why not make cooked food.

So, Akai and I started a series of processes to kill fish.

The ability to clean up the carcasses of prey, cultivated through the mountains and rivers, came to handy here, and Akai and I skillfully used knives to open the fish's belly, then eviscerated them, and then skewered the fish with sticks.

The entrails of those fish were thrown directly into the sea by Akai and I, and after washing away the blood stains on our hands, we began today's dinner barbecue process.

"Can this really make a fire?" Ruyue looked curiously at the flint and steel in our hands, she had never touched this kind of thing without any experience in the field.

Ruyue said that she had only seen flamethrowers for rapid construction.

"Well, how can I say it, this way, it's idle and boring anyway, Akai, let's demonstrate various ways to make a fire." Hearing this, I flipped the flint and steel in my hand, and then said to Akai.

"Hawkers, feel free, look at Ruyue, first this thing, flint, although it is very primitive, but it is very easy to use." As he spoke, Akai swiped the flint and steel in his hand.

Suddenly, sparks shone out, and in a moment, the bonfire was lit.

"That's amazing!"

"It's nothing, like the moon, do you know how the flame of civilization was lit when mankind had not yet invented tools?" I asked Ruyue.

"Eh・・・・・・ Xia Jun is talking about drilling wood to make fire?" Ruyue recalled the common sense she had been taught in class before.

Akai nodded, "That's right, although it's incredible, it's just a simple friction to generate heat, but it requires perseverance and strong arm strength." ”

As he spoke, Akai roasted the fish on the bonfire, took out two more sticks, and placed one of them on the ground.

When we entered this world, the world had certain characteristics of the Legend of the Mountains mod, such as the way to make a fire with two sticks worked in this world, which also provided us with great help in surviving in the early stage.

Because in many cases, fire represents survival.

Now, after many years, revisiting this method to make a fire again, Akai and I have a lot of feelings.

For about half an hour, under the gaze of Ruyue's wide eyes, Akai and I continued to rotate another wooden stick with a groove carved by a knife like a drill.

As time passed, a faint trace of smoke and the smell of burnt wood filled the air.

In the exclamation of the moon, we succeeded in raising the flame in the most primitive way.

"This is a survival skill taught by Bei Ye himself."

"Master Pei?"

"Ah, it's our wilderness survival coach, many years ago." On TV, of course. I thought silently.

"Let's not mention that, the fish is already cooked." Akai reminded.

And just like that, we started a special barbecue meeting at sea.

Akai and I have a hunch that this time we will go to sea, and we will solve all the recent incidents.
