Chapter 42: A Strange Taste
Fortunately, in the end, the shark seemed to be unable to resist the temptation of blood, and finally made up its mind to swim to the shallow water, which is the area where Cheng Ran spilled blood.
At the moment when the shark swam to him, Cheng Ran threw the stone into the water.
There was a bang, a huge splash, and the stone didn't hit the shark, but the wave was enough to stun it, and the little shark paid the price for its bloodlust and greed.
Sharks are different from ordinary fish, they have no swim bladder, they swim by muscles when diving and floating, and the shark that faints will sink directly, but fortunately this is a shallow water area, and Cheng Ran can drag the shark out of the water by bending down.
As long as it is on the shore, the shark in the cow is the same, while the shark has not recovered, Cheng Ran picked up the spear and poked it at the head fiercely, but he didn't expect the shark's skin to be very slippery, and it was actually slipped away for the first time.
So the explicit terminator who terrified the animals on the island reappeared, and Cheng Ran found another big rock, knocked the shark's head randomly, and only stopped after making sure that the thing would not wake up again.
"Oh my God, you caught a shark!" Li Yuxin's face was full of incredulity.
Not to mention Li Yuxin, even Cheng Ran himself didn't dare to think about it and said, "Yes...... It's crazy that I caught a shark ....... ”
The shark was about a meter long, and it looked not small on the ground, at least Cheng Ran hadn't thought that he could catch such a big fish before.
The shark's head had been smashed, and there was no doubt that it was cold now, and the ground was covered in bright red blood, and the scene looked a little frightened.
Li Yuxin covered her nose and asked, "How are we going to get such a big fish back?" ”
"I'll carry it."
Cheng Ran didn't say a word, and carried the shark on his shoulder.
Not to mention, this shark must at least have a few dozen catties, Cheng Ran felt very heavy on his shoulders, and couldn't help grinning.
"Why don't we carry it together."
"It's still not necessary, it's easier for me to resist alone."
It's a little heavier, but it's not to the point of resisting, Cheng Ran took a breath, walked briskly under his feet, and hurried towards his home.
Li Yuxin was holding a spear in one hand and dragging the shark on Cheng Ran's shoulder with the other, hoping to help him share part of the weight.
The two of them cautiously crossed the slippery reef shore and returned home without incident.
Bu Minen was staying in the room and weaving palm leaves according to the method taught by Li Yuxin, when he suddenly saw Cheng Ran carrying back a shark, and he was almost so frightened that he fell to the ground.
"Bring something delicious!"
Cheng Ran was so excited that he was like a soldier who had won a battle, and threw the shark to the ground, with a happy smile on his face.
Bu Minen's eyes were full of the word "shock", she shook her head in disbelief and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a shark, right?" ”
Li Yuxin nodded and said, "That's right, this is a shark." ”
"OMG! How did you manage to catch a shark!! ”
Bu Minen held his head in his hands, and there was no way to imagine how Cheng Ran and Li Yuxin could catch this shark.
When looking at the smashed head of the shark, and the dark red blood kept flowing out, Bu Minen couldn't help but feel a burst of creepiness when he saw this scene, the creature of the shark was already terrifying, and the head was smashed like this, no matter how you look at it, it is terrifying.
Li Yuxin said: "With this big guy, we can have a few good meals." ”
"But...... How do you cook such a big shark? ”
Bu Minen only felt that the head was big for a while, the size of the shark was too big, and the small clay pot obviously couldn't fit it.
If you cut the shark and cook it, it must be very inefficient, and in the tropics, the food decays faster than you think, and if you don't cook the shark quickly, it is likely to stink in two or three hours.
"Why don't you use it for a grill!"
At this time, Cheng Ran gave his own suggestion, since there is no way to cook, then just roast it on the fire.
The barbecue method is the simplest and most primitive cooking method, the meat has a burnt aroma, and the food processed by the barbecue method will basically not overturn.
The only difficulty is how to roast this dozens of catties of shark on the fire, Bu Minen can't do this, so he can only rely on Cheng Ran to find a way.
There were a lot of woods piled up in the room, these were the best materials, Cheng Ran found a few sections of relatively thick and sturdy wood, and set up a two-person tripod next to the fire.
Then Cheng Ran began to disembowel the shark with the stone knife that had given him a haircut, and took out all the internal organs inside, after the shark lost those internal organs, the weight of the shark suddenly decreased a lot, and the next step was to start forking it into the shark's mouth with a slender wooden stick like a spear, and then piercing it out of the tail, so the shark was skewered on the wooden stick, and it was best to set it on the fire and start the barbecue feast.
Everything has been taken care of, just turn the shark over from time to time in case the shark gets burnt.
It didn't take long for the outermost layer of meat to be cooked, and a strong smell of fish wafted through the room, which immediately provoked the three of them to have a great appetite, and they all wanted to try the taste of shark meat impatiently.
"I'm going to test the poison for you!"
Cheng Ran smiled and tore open the somewhat charred black skin roasted on the outside with his hands, revealing the white and tender fish inside.
couldn't estimate the hot hand of the fish at all, Cheng Ran tore off a large piece of fish meat, and stuffed the whole thing into his mouth, and he didn't care whether it was hot or not.
At that moment, I just felt that the smell of meat that I had not seen for a long time instantly filled my mouth, and I was able to eat meat like this on this desert island, maybe this is the so-called happiness.
"Delicious, delicious......."
Cheng Ran couldn't think of any words to describe the taste of shark meat, although it seemed a little weird, anyway, he just thought it was delicious, and his brain and stomach were telling him that this thing was simply refreshing.
It is conceivable that people who have not eaten meat in large gulps for two months can eat meat without fear like this, and what could be more refreshing.
Seeing Cheng Ran's excited appearance of tears in his eyes, Li Yuxin also tore off a piece of shark meat and put it in the innermost.
The moment she entered the mouth, a strange smell spread in her mouth, which couldn't help but make Li Yuxin frown, why is this smell so strange, it seems that there is still a ...... Smell of urine? Li Yuxin was a little broken, but after glancing at Cheng Ran, he almost didn't eat himself, and he couldn't see anything wrong at all, could it be that there was something wrong with the piece of meat he had just torn off
