Carrying an iron pickaxe, he struck the veins exposed outside the rock bed one by one, and it was not long before several pieces of high-quality metal ore rolled down with the rubble.

Gordon picked them up one by one, carefully identified the colors, and found that most of them were the most common iron ore, but there were also a few pieces of good quality chaffinite.

Good luck.

Gordon was pleased with the result, and after putting them all away, he hummed a little song and headed to the next collection point.

It was a pile of bones scattered under the roots of a giant tree, and a large number of severely weathered animal bones were piled up in it, but if you searched carefully, you might not be able to find some usable bone materials.

Regarding these bone materials, Gordon didn't have any needs for the time being, but he also learned from the workshop owner that most of the high-level swords belonged to the "bone knife derivation line".

For example, the workshop owner once mentioned the "Male Fire Dragon Flame Sword".

Therefore, the hoarding of bone materials must also start now, and collect a little bit every time you have the opportunity to hunt, so as not to find that the materials are insufficient when you really need them.

......

After struggling to carry all kinds of ores that he had spent the whole afternoon collecting, as well as bone materials such as animal bones and dragon bones [small], Gordon returned to camp with a full harvest.

Storing the materials in the storage box, he looked up at the sky, and the sun was already setting in the west.

Remembering that Ted should still be gathering ingredients for today's delicious dinner, toiling to catch fish, while he was only concerned with gathering the equipment materials he needed, Gordon suddenly felt a little weak.

Ahem, let's collect some along the way and bring it over.

Anyway, with that guy's fishing method, he shouldn't be able to catch anything good, even if he only picks a few mushrooms and brings them, he won't lose!

I thought so, but on the way to the beach, Gordon still collected the ingredients very carefully.

After all, this is also for the sake of your own stomach, and you don't necessarily have to go to the rich Metabe jungle to "vacation", and you have to gnaw on the food miserably, right?

Not to mention, there are a lot of things that can be eaten in the dense forest.

In addition to the most common mushrooms, Gordon also collected a variety of berries, wild vegetables, wild taro, and a spirit deer that was unlucky enough to crash into the door himself.

That's it, enough for the two of them to have a good meal, but Gordon is still a little unsatisfied.

He ran to the beach with his shoulder and found a tall and luxuriant coconut tree, and he thought it was too troublesome to climb the tree, so he swung his blasting knife and cut down the tree in two or three strokes, and took a few ripe coconuts, ready to drink them for a while.

Carrying a large pile of ingredients, he ran to the fishing spot, and before he could show off to Ted, Gordon was stupefied by the giant tuna next to Ted, which was even two meters long.

"Big... King tuna? ”

Gordon threw aside the ingredients in his hand, took a few steps onto the reef, touched the shining body of the king tuna that was still twitching, and said with a face full of disbelief: "This fish ...... You caught it?! ”

"That's right!" Ted patted his chest, his face full of pride, "Uncle Ben caught it!" ”

Gordon's eyes couldn't help but glance at the fishing rod that was thrown aside after being pouted in half by someone, and said with a suspicious expression: "Caught with a fishing rod?" ”

Ted's face froze visibly, "What, does it matter how you catch it?" Uncle Ben has his own special fishing skills! ”

Gordon blinked, and immediately changed his question, "Hey, Brother Ted, you're so good, you can catch such a big fish even if the rod is broken, those anglers who go fishing with a rod are really stupid."

Could it be that Brother Ted, you're using the legendary 'tackleless fishing method'? Teach the little brother! ”

Ted really came to his senses, he patted the reef beside him, and laughed: "There is no such thing as a fishing rod, there is no use for fart, and after fishing for most of the day, I will catch a small fish the size of a palm, and Uncle Ben can't look down on it, so he throws it back into the sea."

As a result, before the little fish had time to run, it was swallowed by a few fish that rushed over, and we couldn't get angry, so we fired two shots into the sea, well, it wasn't a dragon bombardment, just two ordinary shots!

Guess what, a whole bunch of fish have been blown up and floated up, ahahaha! ”

Gordon: "......"

You're fried fish!

"As soon as we jumped down to fish, this big guy swam over, probably attracted by the bloody smell of those fried fish.

Can I let it run? After a bit of fighting, I dragged it up! Ted made a few punching gestures and made a hard drag movement, which was vivid.

The corners of Gordon's mouth twitched.

Looking back at the huge fist marks on the skull of the king tuna, he had a groove in his heart but couldn't spit it out, so he had to ask tentatively: "Then we?" ”

"Eat it now! King tuna sashimi! Ted replied crisply, "That's what it's called, right?" That fresh way to eat it from the Western Continent? ”

"Okay!" Gordon suddenly stopped dwelling.

I rushed to the large pile of berries I had brought, rummaged through the wild vegetables, and finally found a wild vegetable with a spicy stem, which smelled a bit like wasabi, although it was not authentic, but it should be able to make do.

You don't have to think about soy sauce, so you have to use salt instead.

Ted took the initiative to take over the work of cutting fish, without a delicate and sharp fish cutting knife, he could also make a living with a knife for peeling, slashing left and right, and even wanted to borrow Gordon's blasting knife where the bones were too hard, but the latter refused.

Flesh and blood flying, Ted's entire process of handling king tuna is enough to send any professional chef's blood pressure skyrocketing.

The end result was a fist-sized chunk of bright red meat on top of the banana leaves that served as a dinner plate.

"Uh, isn't this cut a little too big?" Although Gordon himself is not too familiar with "sashimi", an exotic dish from the Western Continent.

But he figured out that it was certainly not such a rough thing......

"The big ones are delicious!" With a wave of his hand, Ted explained his terrible knife work.

As if to prove his word, Ted grabbed a large piece of fatty fish belly with a beautiful marbled fat texture, threw it into his large mouth that was large enough to fit into a whole apple, and chewed it vigorously.

Frowning and chewing for a while, before finally cocking his neck and trying to swallow, Ted muttered, "It's slippery and slimy, it doesn't taste good, it feels delicious." ”

Gordon rolled his eyes and said, "Who would eat sashimi like you do?" You're just eating raw fish, sashimi is going to be eaten like that! ”

As he spoke, he followed the hearsay of "slice the raw fish, put some wasabi puree, dip it in soy sauce and eat it", cut the fist-sized pieces of fish into thick slices like palms, or fish steaks, carefully sprinkled with the stalks of raw wild vegetables cut into grains, and put a pinch of fine salt in his mouth.

Ted, who stared at Gordon with wide eyes and observed Gordon's "exquisite" way of eating, let out a long exclamation: "Oh~! It turns out that sashimi is eaten like this, and Uncle Ben has learned! ”

Chew Chew Chew Chew ......

After swallowing the fish with some difficulty, Gordon wiped his mouth and commented objectively: "It's a very exotic way to eat, and the taste is very special." ”

Ted swallowed a large piece of fish steak in a mock manner, but choked on the spicy smell of the wild vegetable stalks, and after a brief silence, he muttered:

"I think it's still delicious."

"Well, I also think that sashimi is not suitable for us." Gordon stared at the piece of fish in front of him, folded his arms and nodded, as if he didn't plan to touch it again.

"Who's going to make a fire?"

"You go, the fire is bigger, I'll go and peel and wash the spirit deer, skewer mushrooms for a while, smear berries, and roast them together! I also got a few coconuts for a drink, but unfortunately I didn't bring ale wine......"

"Hey! Why did you forget to bring alcohol! ”

"These wild taro are buried under the fire for a while, and they will be baked for a while, otherwise they will be numb."

"No problem."

“...”

“...”

The sun is setting and the sky is getting dark.

Campfires are lit on the shore at night in the Metabé forest.

Gordon and Ted lay on their backs on the warm sand, their bellies pounding, and they sighed heartily.

"King tuna is so delicious!"
