Chapter Ninety-Seven: Roasted Vultures
Some people say that the best way to carry hunger is to sleep.
But in fact, when they are hungry, they can't sleep at all, their stomachs keep rolling and rumbling, and many people come to the deck because they can't sleep, and they smoke before they have to drink, one after another.
Li Chaoyang leaned on the railing, holding a cigarette and looking at the vast starry sky, he only ate a little dry food at night, and he was also hungry at this time.
He was still worried about the food, racking his brains and not thinking of a way to deal with it.
Cruise ships can't grow vegetables on land, let alone produce, and the sea is their only hope.
There are fish in the sea, there are shellfish, seaweed, kelp seaweed, but all this seems to have nothing to do with them, they sail on the bottom of the desert and there is nothing.
"Whew!"
There was a loud sound, and Li Chaoyang looked up and found a black figure stopped on the flagpole.
It was a giant vulture.
Vulture?
A flash of lightning flashed through Li Chaoyang's mind, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose to reveal a smile.
There are no food in the sea, there are seabirds, seagulls, and vultures.
They're going to eat too.
They have muscles, bones, and internal organs that are rich in amino acids and vitamins, and they are food.
Li Chaoyang laughed like crazy.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Shucheng appeared behind Li Chaoyang, looked at Li Chaoyang with a strange expression, and thought to himself if Li Chaoyang should be crazy.
"Food, ours is delivered to the door, and it's fresh!" Li Chaoyang said with a smile.
"What?"
"I won't tell you, I'm busy first."
Li Chaoyang patted Zhou Shucheng's shoulder and ran to the material hold, and it didn't take long to move a pile of carrion to the deck, and then took out the fishing rod.
Everyone gathered around and looked at Li Chaoyang with a curious expression.
What is this for?
Night fishing?
"It's true that the probability of catching fish at night is higher than during the day, and many fish in the sea come out at night." Zhou Shucheng said.
"No, I'm not fishing, I'm fishing for birds, and we'll eat roast chicken tomorrow morning!"
"Bird fishing?"
Zhou Shucheng was even more puzzled.
"Don't be stunned, thread the meat on the hook and throw it on the deck, the rod fixed to the railing, and be careful not to cross." Li Chaoyang said and pulled the bait and threw it out.
Then he took the carrion and chopped it and threw it on the deck, and the stench hit the smoker, and the smoker wanted to vomit.
I heard that there was roast chicken to eat, and everyone couldn't care about the stench, so they stepped forward to help.
It didn't take long for more than 20 fishing rods to be dressed in carrion, and the rows of fishing rods stood in the dark, which really tasted like night fishing.
Under Li Chaoyang's arrangement, the bonfire was extinguished, and everyone withdrew to the hall, hiding in the dark, and the deck gradually fell silent.
Li Chaoyang is still very experienced in bird hunting, and Li Chaoyang has used this way to catch turtledoves in the wild before, but at that time he used a paper clip.
Under the silver-white moonlight, the deck was empty, and there was a dead silence all around, and everyone hid in the darkness of the hall, staring at the deck with wide eyes, and one by one they came to their senses, rubbing their hands together and waiting for the prey to take the bait.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and many people couldn't stay up and simply went to sleep.
"Damn, aren't these birds usually bold, why are they so careful today?" Hu Jun couldn't help but complain.
"Don't worry, they'll come, but they're alert and won't take risks easily."
As soon as Bai Songlin's words fell, a few black figures landed on the railing, it was a flock of birds of prey.
Convinced that it was safe, the fellows jumped onto the deck and ate the carrion in a big way, stopping and looking around with each bite.
Birds have no teeth, they eat and swallow whole, the hook has slipped deep into the throat and pulled up the fishing line, they feel that something is wrong, it is too late to take off, the two vultures are hit, just fly up and are pulled by the fishing line, and the sharp hook pierces the sore throat and screams.
Seeing this, the other vultures screamed and flew into the sky and disappeared into the night.
Seeing this, Li Chaoyang immediately rushed out with a mop rod, and the others followed, the vulture was startled, flew up again, and was pulled and fell on the deck again, and the big guy raised the guy in his hand is a violent beating.
After the scream, two huge vultures fell on the deck, and everyone saw their true faces under the light, these were two adult vultures, gray feathers, slender necks, strong and sharp claws, the whole body was extremely strong and primitive, and the huge body weighed at least a dozen catties.
The big guy laughed excitedly, and his eyes were about to glow green, and in the eyes of everyone this was not a vulture, but two huge turkeys, two lumps of meat.
The white pine forest picked up a feather and looked left and right, looking into the distance, this is above the sea, how can there be a vulture?
This confused him.
The others didn't have time to think about it so much, and continued to put on carrion and start a new round of fishing.
Unfortunately, these birds seem to smell death, and the vultures don't come after the accident.
The next morning, just after dawn, Zhu Hou had already divided the vulture meat, put it on an iron skewer and made it into a skewer, brushed it with seasoning, sprinkled with cumin pepper, the vulture meat was bubbling with oil, and the air was filled with a strong smell of barbecue.
The smell of the food attracted everyone's attention, and they stepped forward to help.
The carpet water collection device of the white pine forest has also been successful, the water vapor meets the cold blanket and condenses into water droplets and falls into the water bottle, a little water is collected under each blanket, and there are two large bottles gathered together, the efficiency is almost the same as Hu Jun's boiling water, but his method does not consume any resources, and the cost is more cheap.
However, it is equivalent to dozens of people, and this little water cannot solve the problem at all.
Although one person was not enough to take a mouthful, the spirit of everyone was greatly inspired, as if a new continent had been discovered.
Zhu Hou's cooking skills are quite excellent, the skewers he makes are fragrant and tender, and the taste is not too good.
Such a hearty breakfast is comparable to the days before the cruise shipwreck, the big guys are too hungry, they need to supplement protein too much, and they can't take care of their image one by one, and they eat a lot, for fear that they will be slower than others.
Nearly thirty catties of vulture meat were swept away in a blink of an eye, and many people were still unsatisfied, so they even stroked the iron skewer back and forth with their mouths, and finally reluctantly put down the iron skewer.
Li Chaoyang has become a capable person in everyone's eyes, and he is the one who makes everyone feast.
In the face of everyone's praise Li Chaoyang smiled and said nothing, he didn't have any score in his heart, this method is just an expedient measure, birds are not stupid, they will not be fooled again and again.
