Chapter 640: Nature's Gift (Part II)

I don't know if it's the blood of Atlantis that makes Arthur extra strong, or if he is just born with a strong force, in short, it is completely difficult for him to survive in the primeval forest, and chopping wood and carrying wood is just the beginning.

What Arthur had to do was simply place the cut wood on the ground horizontally, then place the entire refrigerator horizontally on the cylindrical wood as a chassis, and then put the rest of the supplies on it.

When the refrigerator is pushed, the wood becomes the wheel, so that it can move forward faster with less effort.

Although, for Hal and Schiller, it may be much faster to carry them over directly, but since it is said that it is not cheating, it is better to use a method that ordinary people can use.

This is a square refrigerator with double doors, which should be customized to adapt to the special space in the aircraft cabin, after cutting off the power supply, it no longer has the function of refrigeration, but at least it can be used as a storage box, and the insulation layer of the refrigerator can also make the food melt slower until it returns to the cave with lower temperatures.

Since the rolling log itself has weight, some herbaceous plants will be directly flattened and will not block the way forward, and when the refrigerator rolls to the front log, the back wood must be moved to the front, which is basically a three-person rotation.

Hal and Schiller's special abilities make them basically not tired, but surprisingly, Arthur can also keep up and not fall behind at all.

It was a short distance from here to the cave where they had been, but until the end, Arthur didn't seem tired, and when it came time to carry the fridge into the cave, he still had time to talk, and he said, "Seriously, it reminds me of when I went to sea with the fleet. ”

"You may not know how tiring it is to fish in the ocean, but when I was 17 years old, I went out to sea with my uncle to catch tuna and didn't sleep for four days......

Schiller lifted the front half of the refrigerator and turned back and asked, "Are you in charge of staring at the fish finder?" ”

"No, of course not, how can I do that kind of work, I'm just an ordinary sailor, in charge of fishing." Arthur shook his head and said, "At that time, we didn't encounter tuna, but it didn't matter, tuna is a rare fish, and bluefin and yellowfin tuna are very difficult to encounter. ”

"But at that time, we happened to come across a school of bonito, which is also very easy to sell, and because they are in groups, the catch is very large, and in those days, we just put the net down, close the net, close the net, close the net, eat a hamburger when we are hungry, drink some energy drink, or go to smoke a cigarette ......"

"However, the hard work paid off, and at that time, there was a shortage of dried bonito, and the catch was sold for a lot of money, which also made my uncle's business better, and when he got older, he stopped doing deep-sea fishing business, but began to be a dealer of all kinds of fishing boats."

"Oh." Schiller suddenly remembered, and he said, "Is that the uncle who lent you the fishing boat?" He did look like a captain. ”

"He's the best captain ever." Arthur said proudly, but soon, he sighed with some regret, and said, "Actually, my father was also a legendary captain when he was young, and even the entire East Coast echoed the name of Captain Curry...... "...

"At that time, he brought back a blue marlin that set a new fishing record on the East Coast, and it's hard for me to describe how big this fish is to you, but everyone was stunned, he was a good luck captain who was all the rage at the time."

"But for some reason, he didn't go to sea, he stayed in Brughhaven and became a lighthouse keeper, and many of the crew felt sorry for him, and my uncle had advised him, but no matter what, he didn't want to go to sea again. ()

Arthur looked ahead, and in the middle of the dense rainforest, he could still see the blue waters, and said, "There is a legend of an old sailor who once followed him." He encounters a Kraken at sea and goes through a series of dangerous adventures before finally returning to shore. ”

"They say that he angered the Kraken and was cursed by the Kraken and from then on, he could never touch the sea again, I don't know if this is true or not, but I know that he often looked at the sea and there was a longing in his eyes......"

Several people put the refrigerator on the ground and rested on the spot, and in the process of resting, Hal asked with some curiosity: "I don't mean to offend, but your mother ......"

"My father said she died in a shipwreck, but it was probably when I was very young, and I don't remember her at all." Arthur shook his head, as if he didn't want to talk about it, and Schiller, who knew the truth, didn't intend to remind him that it was his private matter after all.

Of course, although I don't know what the attitude of Atlantis in this universe is towards humans, one thing must be admitted, as long as Gotham is still a coastal city, Atlantis will not be able to make much waves.

Although ordinary industrial pollution can hardly threaten Atlantis in the deep sea, but Gotham's industrial pollution can definitely be, take 10,000 steps back and say, if a fish, unfortunately, bites the clown first and returns to the ocean, then it won't be long before Atlantis becomes a gift from nature.

As the three of them carried the refrigerator and other supplies back to the cave, Oliver's eyes widened in surprise and he said, "...... What about passengers? ”

Arthur put the refrigerator on the ground and said, "It wasn't the airliner that crashed, but my transportation to California, and the pilot, Hal, wanted to drive this plane to me, but unfortunately it crashed." ”

"Don't worry about that, let's see what nature has to offer." Schiller walked over to the refrigerator, and when he opened the door, he found that most of the contents of the frozen layer had melted, but the contents of the cold layer were well preserved.

Most of the food in the frozen layer is meat and seafood, and in this temperature, this kind of food cannot be stored for too long, and Schiller knows this, so he simply turns out all the meat that is beginning to melt, and prepares to dispose of it all at once.

Many people know that if you want to prolong the preservation time of meat, you must use a seasoning, that is, salt, but the salt obtained in the airplane food storage room is only a small can, packed in a very common kind of Western seasoning bottle, and it is okay to sprinkle a little seasoning when grilling, but if you want to use salt to treat meat, this amount is definitely not enough.

Fortunately, the island has both seawater and water, which means that the most basic conditions for salt production are met, and as long as they use the method of salt-making from seawater, they can get table salt to process meat. …

For now, the meat can be stored in a cave at a relatively low temperature for a short period of time, during which time it should be enough to spend some salt to dispose of them.

Schiller had the theory of seawater salt drying in his head, but he never put it into practice, and when he put this forward, several people looked at each other, after all, after modern society, salt has become a ubiquitous seasoning, even Arthur and Oliver, who live in the seaside city, have not personally used seawater to make salt.

Schiller plans to cook a meal with this relatively fresh food, and then divide up their respective jobs to start a real desert island survival journey.

Among the four of them, only Schiller and Hal can cook, and the food made by Arthur and Oliver can only be said to be edible, not tasteful at all, so Schiller and Hal each take on part of the cooking duties.

The conditions in the cave were very limited, there was certainly no stove, only a stone pot and a stone slab that had been made before, and there was not even a grill or a rack to support the stone pot.

Arthur sawed the log he had brought back and cut it into sticks, and then built a simple shelf that stood above the flame, so that the stone pot could be hung on the shelf and used to cook.

After that, Arthur began to try to burn charcoal, but probably because of the special nature of palm wood, charcoal is difficult to keep burning and hot, so he has to build an same shelf to support the stone slabs.

Although the water from the stream outside can also be used, but because it has not been allowed to rest, there will be some impurities, and several people are a little hungry and do not want to wait for the stream to rest, Hal climbed up the coconut tree and picked a few coconuts as a source of water for cooking.

This coconut tree is not a coconut tree that is specifically intended for consumption, so the leaves are small and the coconut water does not taste much, but it is enough for cooking.

Schiller first used the previous metal saw to make a hole in the coconut, then poured the coconut water into the pot, found some dried mushrooms from the vegetables in the refrigerator, threw the mushrooms into it when the coconut water was heated to a temperature of about fifty or sixty degrees, and then found a stone slab to cover the pot.

After boiling for about a minute, when the water starts to boil, remove the pot, then pour out the water, throw in the chicken pieces cut with stones, crack a few more coconuts, pour the coconut water into it and blanch the water, after pouring the water away, add the coconut water to cover the ingredients, and start to simmer.

Hal took care of the rest of the meat, but instead of frying it on a slate in the first place, he took out the melted oysters and shrimp from the fridge.

Peel the oysters and shrimp and fry them together.

Next, take out the shrimp head from before, put it on a high-temperature stone slab and stir-fry the shrimp oil, and mix the shrimp oil with the sauce made earlier to make it into an orange-red hoisin sauce.

"In Seaside City, it's the hoisin sauce that every restaurant uses, but generally we use smaller clams and small shrimp that can't be sold, which aren't as big as these ingredients, but they taste better."

Arthur and Oliver were already crazy about the smell of these two people, not to mention that the mushroom stewed chicken was originally a golden combination, and the smell and aroma of the meat could permeate the entire cave through the lid of the slate. …

Howl's hoisin sauce is even more fragrant, because the slate itself is not covered, and the smell of the food being cooked will make everyone who is extremely hungry have an appetite.

"I can't wait, hurry, I'm going to eat now, my stomach is already hungry in protest......" Arthur crouched on the edge of the stone slab, waiting for the first time to come out of the pot.

Although Oliver didn't speak, it was only because of his noble son's last reserve, he didn't want to act like a person who had never seen the world, but he had been hungry for so many days, and he obviously wanted to eat quickly.

However, neither Schiller nor Hal had ever tried to cook in such an environment, and the barren conditions aroused their enthusiasm for creation.

Schiller took out a few slices of bread and placed them on the lid of the stone pot, because the open flame lit with a tree branch was so strong that the flames engulfed the whole stone pot, causing the slate on it to be very hot, and after Schiller toasted the bread slices a little harder, he began to break the slices of bread.

Once the bread slices are very finely crumbled, add a small amount of coconut water to mix and form a lake, then spread out into a pancake shape and fry into pancakes, fry the beef until it is medium-rare, chop the onion and pepper, spread it on the beef, and roll it into the pancake with cheese.

Because the pancakes are smaller, they look more like dumplings than tacos, but because of the dough made up of bread, there is no way to knead them, and they are more like miniature pizzas folded up.

When Hal saw this, he knew that he had to show his hand, so he brought a piece of pork belly and a piece of pork belly, first fried the pork belly in oil, and then cut the pork belly into minced meat, fried it in oil, and mixed it with the previous hoisin sauce.

Take out a large coconut, crack it open, cut off the top half to keep the coconut milk inside, then pick up the dry spaghetti and put it in and place it on the fire under the slate to heat it.

The pasta is soft very quickly, before the coconut shells are burned, the noodles are almost cooked, stir-fry the cooked pasta with hoisin bolognese, then take the four coconut shells that were used before, heat them slightly on the fire, put a small piece of butter on the bottom, divide the pasta into four portions, sprinkle with grated cheese, and the seafood bolognese cheese coconut pasta is ready.

When Schiller saw this, he knew that he had to show his real skills, and when he began to roll up his sleeves, Arthur, who was already dizzy from hunger, rushed up to stop him and said, "Professor, it's okay, this is not the Michelin competition, let's start eating......"

Schiller glanced at the smug Hal and said, "No, you have to have some respect for my food, get out of the way, I remember there's a whole duck in the fridge, it should have melted now, I'll make a tandoor and show you what a real roast duck is......"

Oliver, who was lying on the ground, almost didn't come up for a breath, and Arthur was also lying on the ground, in addition to helplessness, he was really hungry and had no strength.

Half an hour later, Bruce, who had followed the smoke to the cave, stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the two men who were almost fainting from hunger and the table of delicacies.
