Chapter 8: A Luxurious Luncheon for Survival on a Desert Island
"Well, this is what I dried on the stone again, the middle of the stone was concave, I scooped the seawater in, I started to dry it yesterday, and I collected half a catty of salt today, this is just the coarse salt that has just been dried, the taste is not very good, some bitter, but I can maintain my daily life, today I will find something to make it into refined salt, and it will not be so bitter." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Hu Yue smiled and said to Zhao Le.
From the first time she came here, Hu Yue felt dizzy, at first she thought it was because she didn't eat salt, so she made out the sea water to dry salt, and later after eating salt, she found that it was caused by a lack of water.
"Well, my wife is just smart, I didn't even think of it." Zhao Le smiled awkwardly after hearing this, and then told Hu Yue what had just happened.
After listening to Zhao Le, Hu Yue smiled and said: "I said why did you have a fishy smell, it turned out that you drank fish blood, give it." Hu Yue stuffed the bag of salt to Zhao Le and said, "Take this, you won't faint if you eat it on the road."
"That's right, Zhao Le, give me the thing you picked up your ears, and I'll make a fishing rod to fish and eat." "No need, I got a fish pond in the river over there, and I can catch fish every day in the future, so I don't have to waste time fishing." "I have food at home, and I don't panic, how many fish can there be in the small river on that island, or fishing is stable." Zhao Le had to admire Hu Yue's carefulness, he always looked for something to eat, just looking at what was in front of him, as long as he had enough to eat.
"It's still my wife who is smart, I'll go first." After giving Hu Yue's ear gouging ear, Zhao Le carried the harpoon to find the berries, and the pistol and axe were left with Hu Yue as protective tools.
Coming to the river again, the difference is that this time Zhao Le is a person with salt on his body, and just after crossing the river, Zhao Le found a strange thing.
Is this a chicken or a bird, how does it look like an ostrich, but is there an ostrich in Australia, uh, this thing seems to have been seen somewhere, oh! By the way, I saw it on the coat of arms of Australia, and I didn't know what it was at the time, but I asked others to find out that it was called the emu, which is a species endemic to Australia, slightly smaller than the ostrich, and is said to be a subspecies of the ostrich, which can be said to be the second largest herbivore after the kangaroo in Australia.
And now what Zhao Le is seeing is, uh, is it or ...... Lay eggs?! Zhao Le was not mistaken, one by one, the dark green eggs, uh, were eggs from the chrysanthemum of the female emu, uh, it was the egg mouth that rolled out and fell into the hole dug by the female emu in advance. (The emus is female, I testify, why do I know, uh, blushing~, it was a sweet evening...... Hey, hey, hey, hey... Ahem, let's get to the point. )
Eggs, what did this thing make Zhao Le think of, egg fried rice, scrambled eggs with green peppers, tomato egg soup, seaweed egg soup, these are a little unrealistic, the most realistic is boiled eggs, and now Zhao Le can't even make fried eggs, because he doesn't have a pan.
Looks like there's one more thing to eat in the evening. Zhao Le thought about it, so he walked over, and the female emu saw someone coming over, screaming, wanting to protect her balls, but Zhao Le stabbed a stone spear over, only stabbing off a few feathers, and the female emu fled in panic.
Looking at the departing figure of the female emu, Zhao Le couldn't help but complain: "I knew it was such a vegetable, so I let it lay a few more eggs." I went over and looked, well, it's not bad, there are six eggs lying quietly in the hole they just dug, their mother's slime is still sticking to the eggshell, Zhao Le takes off his clothes, (I'm here to say, Zhao Le's clothes are the same as Doraemon's pockets, it's just omnipotent, he can do anything, this can be seen in the first few chapters, but no matter how good the clothes are, they will rot, maybe after a few uses, the clothes will be rotten.) )
After wrapping the emu eggs, Zhao Le did not stay, and returned home. There are still many things that need to be done, scraping fish scales, frying eggs, etc.
When she got home, Hu Yue had already made a fishing rod, used kangaroo meat as bait, and in an iron bucket on the side, there were a few fish that Zhao Le didn't know. "Zhao Le, why are you back, alas? What's in your clothes, it's so beautiful! Hu Yue looked back and saw the emu eggs wrapped in Zhao Le's clothes.
Zhao Le handed it to Hu Yue to look at, and then said: "This is an emu egg, it can be used as a king-size egg, and the taste should be okay."
Hu Yue didn't hear what Zhao Le said, she was immersed in the beauty of the emu egg at the moment and couldn't extricate herself. Emu eggs are dark green all over, but this dark green is a little blue, while some are all sea blue, which looks very beautiful.
But no matter how beautiful an egg is, it is an egg after all, and it will not get rid of the fate of being eaten because of its beauty.
"Wife, don't fish yet, wash those fish, let's get ready for dinner." Zhao Le said, sticking the kangaroo meat around the bonfire and roasting it. On the other side, Hu Yue had already taken out the fish, so Zhao Le walked to the river with a bucket, scooped a bucket of water and came back.
Put in two emu eggs, and the whole bucket is almost full, the emu eggs are so big, even if this bucket is that large, but it can barely fit it.
An iron bucket was propped up with three eucalyptus branches, and a bonfire was burning underneath, and kangaroo meat was roasted next to it, while the fish caught by Hu Yue was made into sashimi by Zhao Le.
Sprinkle a little bit of refined salt just made by Hu Yue, put it in your mouth, smooth and delicate, juicy and tender, it is really delicious in the world.
This taste, raw, (I testify to why I know, that's a ...... Hey. After eating the sashimi, Zhao Le saw that the emu egg was motionless, and suddenly thought that the emu egg was so big, when would it take to cook it before it could be cooked, it was better to make a fish ball soup.
I touched the emu eggs in the past, and they were cold, and sure enough, the emu eggs were thick and large, and if they were to be cooked, they would take a long time, and to make fish ball soup, they would only take a short time to cook.
Fortunately, the boiling time was not long, Zhao Le took out the emu egg, put it on the pot, and knocked it with an axe, the eggshell was broken, and white egg juice flowed out. The emu egg is very large, about one kilogram, one can top dozens of eggs, seeing one emu egg is enough, Zhao Le took out another emu egg and put it aside.
When the emu eggs were boiled for three minutes, Zhao Le put fish into them and boiled them for ten minutes, which was the result of Zhao Le's increased firepower, because eucalyptus trees are burn-resistant and not large, so they are so slow.
When cooking the fish ball soup, Zhao Le made two more bowls with eucalyptus, and as for the chopsticks, it was very simple, just cut off the branches of the eucalyptus tree and then simply cut them.
Holding chopsticks in his hand, Zhao Le stirred the fish ball soup in the iron bucket, and the fragrance suddenly floated out, seeing that the fish ball soup had been cooked, Zhao Le lifted the iron bucket down, and the kangaroo meat next to him had already been roasted, and the fragrance was blowing in the wind.
Zhao Le picked up a kangaroo meat skewer and handed it to Hu Yue, and served two bowls of fish ball soup, and this is how the luxurious luncheon in Australia began.
