Chapter 14: Take a break
"We've also seen the dangers of the jungle, and it's unwise to stay too much in this environment, but I need to stop and recharge. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”
Zheng Guo put aside the firewood and firestarters he had picked up, and picked out a few pieces of charcoal crumbs.
"Some viewers are already asking me how to make a fire. There are many ways to start a fire in the wild, and today I will show you one of them. As he spoke, he took out the tube stick structure that he had removed from the machine from his backpack and brought it to the camera to show everyone.
Mechanical Wang: "It's a very ordinary pipe stick structure, which is found on many machines. ”
"Does the anchor want to use this to drill wood for fire?"
Don't beep if you don't understand: "What is needed to drill wood for fire is friction, and the surface of this metal rod is smooth and cannot produce the required heat." ”
"The method I'm going to show is called the compression fire method." Zheng Guo pulled the metal out of the pipe, filled the charcoal crumbs on one end of the metal pipe, and then pressed the head against the surface of a stone, "Next, just put the metal stick back and knock it hard." ”
Zheng Guo struck the end of the metal stick with another stone, and the metal stick suddenly sank.
"As a result, the air inside the metal tube is compressed sharply and generates high heat, igniting the wood chips."
Dumping charcoal crumbs on a handful of fire-starters, in the shot, I saw a little spark burning on the charcoal.
"A simple internal combustion engine, simple, but very effective. Like drilling wood for fire, this is also an ancient way of making fire, in ancient times, people used bamboo tubes or hollowed-out animal bones. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the ignition in both hands and gently blew it up.
The spark ignited the ignition, and after a puff of smoke, the flames burst into flames.
Zheng Guo hurriedly put the igniter into the circle of stones, and then put firewood on it.
"The concentration of oxygen on the gunazze is very high, and the flames are not easy to crush to death, but on earth you need to be careful. So to leave enough space for the flames, building a campfire like this is the best option. ”
The flames grew brighter and louder, whistling upwards.
"Flame is always fascinating and reassuring, and it comes from the genetic memory of our ancestors. In ancient times, a bonfire meant warmth and food, meaning not to be bothered by wild beasts at night. It can be said that fire is the origin of human civilization, so until now, we still feel calm when we see flames. ”
The flame had already been lit, Zheng Guo cut off a piece of meat, skewered it on top of a branch, set it up about three palms above the flame, and began to grill.
"This leg of lamb is too big, and I'm going to take the rest of it as a smoked jerky and take it with me."
Zheng Guo used a dagger to cut the remaining meat into slices or long strips, still strung with branches, and formed a semicircle at arm's length from the campfire, using the residual heat and smoke generated by the bonfire, which could effectively extend the shelf life of the meat.
Make this simple smoking and roasting equipment, and the meat is almost grilled. The oil seeps out and sizzles in the heat.
Because of the first barbecue, the distance and time are not properly grasped, resulting in a little burnt on the surface. However, in line with the principle of preferring to over-roast rather than undercook, Zheng Guo still took the barbecue off the shelf with great anticipation.
"It smells so good. Although the color does not look pretty, it is not easy to eat hot cooked food in this wilderness. Zheng Guo tore off a small piece with his hand and threw it into his mouth.
Expressions speak for themselves.
"The barbecue party says it's drooling."
"Same as the barbecue party."
"It turns out that Brother Guo likes to eat barbecue, and I'm the best at barbecue."
Zheng Guo reminisced about the rich aroma of meat and sighed: "I didn't expect it to be so delicious." Fragrant but not greasy, chewy, every bite has a new fragrance is squeezed out, the aftertaste is long, endless, fragrant between the teeth. ”
He smacked his lips and continued: "And the best thing is that the obthorn sheep has a high concentration of sodium ions in the cells, which has a salty taste, and it is simply a natural delicacy without salt." ”
"Poisoning in the middle of the night, Brother Guo, you are not kind!"
"I'm hungry, I've just had dinner, and I'm ...... in tears."
"No, let's take. Brother Guo, you made my belly bigger, you have to be responsible for me. ”
There was a crusade in the barrage.
Zheng Guo no longer pretended to be rhetorical, and ate the barbecue in two bites.
"Although it's called blunthorn sheep, it tastes more like beef, but it's tougher." Zheng Guo exhaled, "This is today's lunch, it's not bad, it exceeds expectations, hehe." ”
"I want to eat ......"
"+1 ...... if you want to eat"
"Is there anything for sale on the planet?"
"Yes, but it's very expensive, and only a few companies in the world have supplies."
For foodies, the temptation of a dish that has never been eaten before is extraordinarily great. The torment of wanting to eat but not being able to eat is enough to make people crazy.
Before the smoking of the remaining meat was completed, Zheng Guo had nothing to do, and dragged the corpse of the shark-headed rhinoceros over, and the cold light flashed, and the dagger had penetrated its skin.
"The meat of the shark rhinoceros is not suitable for human consumption, it is not easy to digest, contains more harmful substances, and the meat is acidic, not to mention unpalatable, and it will accelerate human fatigue." Zheng Guo used his qigong, and the dagger slashed down, opening a hole in the animal skin like a cable. "But it also has things in its body that can be used, such as its subcutaneous fat, which can be used to ignite fires."
Zheng Guo used a dagger to cut off a large lump of jelly-like fat from a white flower, wrapped it in a large leaf, and put it in his backpack.
"Its bones, which are as strong as pig iron, are perfect for sharpening tools." Zheng Guo took the dragon snake with a knife in his hand, and after a while, he had already disemboweled.
I have to say that the flesh and skin of this thing are really strong, and they are not soft when they are dead, if it weren't for the internal breath, this dagger would definitely be stuck in it.
It took a lot of effort to finally dig out its skeleton.
Zheng Guo aimed at its ribs, because the ribs were shaped like a knife, or Miao knife to be precise.
His heavy knife technique must be paired with a machete to exert its full power, otherwise it will be difficult to use a wooden stick to make a comparison.
The two longest and widest ribs on both sides were selected, smashed down with stones, and held them in his hand, faintly looking like a pair of double knives. The disadvantage is that the blade is too blunt, and there is no handle, which is difficult to master.
Zheng Guo found a stone with a rough surface and used it as a whetstone to sharpen the bone knife. He also separated a nylon rope and wrapped it around the tail ends of the two bone knives as the handles.
A rough knife was formed.
With the double knives in hand, my heart suddenly became much more steady.
"That's the joy of adventure, even if you don't have anything on hand, if you dare to think and do it, you can find the tools you need in your surroundings." Zheng Guo tied one of the knives to his backpack and held the other in his hand.
"Poor shark rhinoceros, shattered bones......"
"Suddenly I feel that Guo Ye is the most dangerous animal in this jungle."
“GoGoGo! Be the first to cross Tesolo! ”
After doing this, the smoking of the meat is also done, and the moisture in the meat is baked, and it becomes dry and hard, so that there is no problem at all in preserving it for ten days and a half months.
After packing up the jerky, he took out his crossbow and adjusted it, everything was ready, extinguished the campfire, collected a bag of charcoal, and continued to walk deeper into the jungle.
