Chapter 56: What to do if your child is a picky eater

Xu Mo returned to the house and draped the wolf skin that was used as a pillow on his waist, and then went to the lake to wash shirtless.

The first thing I did when I came back was to take out the sausages and bacon to dry, and the sun was already rising when I was done.

He washed his hands and began to prepare breakfast.

Yesterday there was a fresh rabbit, kill two more snakes, and make soup together.

A meal of about three or four catties is his current normal appetite.

There are still 6 attribute points that have not been added, and if you add them, his appetite will be further increased.

After breakfast, go and check for traps.

Today's trap brought him two grouses, which are not bad.

After Xu Mo returned to the camp, he tied the grouse and threw it into the shelter, and then dragged the two wolf corpses to the lake to clean up.

Cleaning is also simple, peeling the skin, removing the internal organs, and unloading the flesh along the joints.

But this kind of work is not only physically demanding, but also time-consuming.

The two wolves had cleaned up, and it was already noon.

It's still the same as before, and the divided wolf meat is smoked on the grill.

He took only one of the two sets of entrails, and the remaining one was full of bat droppings, which he left at the lake, intending to make it into bait for fishing in the afternoon.

This time, four grills were used to meet the requirement of simultaneous smoking.

The camp was smoky and smoking.

Xu Mo covered his nose and hung the washed wolf skin on the tree to dry, this thing has a strong fishy smell, and it has to be dried for several days to effectively get rid of the smell.

Once it's hanging, it's time to prepare lunch.

The wolf entrails left behind, take out the kidneys, wolf hearts, wolf treasures, make up four catties, and add some wild vegetables No. 1 and No. 2 and one pot stew.

The stew is very simple, moisten the pot with some deer oil, fry the ingredients until they are broken, then put the dark soy sauce to color, wait for the ingredients to become soy sauce color, start seasoning, two spoons of salt, half a spoon of monosodium glutamate, two spoons of chicken essence, a little thirteen spices, a little oyster sauce to increase freshness, add water to cover the ingredients, cover with large leaves and simmer.

A few minutes before cooking, add the wild vegetables and blanch them, and a pot of delicious chowder is ready.

The wolf's internal organs still had wolf lungs and wolf intestines left, and he didn't plan to ask for these things, because it was very troublesome to clean up.

After eating, Xu Mo carried the untreated internal organs to the lake to find a suitable fishing spot.

He had no fishing tools, so he had to use the most primitive methods.

Often the simplest tricks, the most practical.

He carried two pairs of internal organs to the beach where he had his first encounter with a juvenile grizzly bear.

The beach is wide and the water changes from shallow to deep, making it a great place to fish.

Xu Mo threw away his internal organs and went to the lake to measure the depth of the water.

Thirteen steps from the beach to the center of the lake, the water is just knee-high, this water depth is just right, and there is no point in going any further.

He went back and estimated the distance, about ten meters, and at this distance he circled a piece of water by stacking stones on the shore in an arc, and completed a traditional fishing trap.

Xu Mo returned to the lake beach to carry stones, this kind of work has no skills, just work hard.

The only caveat is that it's best to pile rocks out of the water to minimize the chance of the fish escaping.

This trap is valid for a long time, so the stronger the arrangement, the better.

It wasn't until the sun tilted that he used the stone to make an arc more than twenty meters long.

In the deepest part, a gap of more than one meter was left as the entrance to the trap.

He followed the gap and made a deep V entrance, the narrowest point was only about thirty centimeters, this funnel-shaped entrance was easy to enter and difficult to exit, and it was very effective in trapping the intruding fish.

At this point, a traditional fishing trap is made.

Counting the more than 20 land traps arranged, he has now realized the survival rule of relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water.

Xu Mo threw all the wolf's internal organs into the trap and turned around to return to the camp.

The viscera have a strong fishy smell, which is very attractive to the fish, and can be used for a long time, and for the rest of the day, just check the harvest every day.

When I got back to camp, it was almost dinner time.

There were also two grouses in the wooden house, which happened to be slaughtered for stewed dragon and phoenix soup.

When dealing with grouse and snakes, Xu Mo suddenly realized that he seemed to be a picky eater.

When there is no food, I don't feel it, but when there is a lot of food, this problem comes out, which is probably human nature.

Speaking of people, is he still human?

Whether it's human or not, it stands to reason that bacon should be eaten first, and the grouse is alive, so there's nothing wrong with letting it go for a few days.

But I can't control my desire to eat fresh, too, bacon and jerky, firewood, if it's not for storage, who wants to eat this thing for a long time?

The venison was better, but the thought of wolf meat gave him a headache.

Wolf meat is the last thing he wants to eat, but the quantity is the largest, if he doesn't eat it, it will inevitably be wasted, and once it is wasted, the cliff will be sprayed to death.

It seems that we will have to get less food in the future, otherwise too much food will be a problem.

Xu Mo sighed and returned to the camp to make dragon and phoenix soup.

After dinner, put away the sausages and bacon, and go to bed early.

In the past few days, he has not planned to go out and die, but is ready to start building a warehouse to store food.

Also, when it was getting cold, we had to build a fireplace in the shelter to keep warm and cook in the house.

When it comes to cooking, you have to build a special firewood canopy, otherwise the snow will close the mountain, and the firewood will be difficult to find.

Winter in the Arctic is no joke, and if you don't prepare well, you won't survive.

Xu Mo planned the future and unknowingly fell asleep.

The next day, the sky was just dawning.

Xu Mo got up early in the morning, finished washing, and went to check the trap as usual.

Luck was also good today, two more grouses.

After removing the grouse, restoring the trap to its original shape, head to the beach to check the catch.

Before he could get close to the water, he saw a splash in the shallow water.

I have to say that his luck is very good, and it is also inseparable from the abundant resources here.

Xu Mo went into the water and took a look, and under the floating wolf viscera, there were three big fish, each of which was no less than three catties.

He took only one, cleaned it up on the spot and returned to the camp.

The water trap is also a natural warehouse, there is no need to take it all out at once, he has eaten enough bacon, he doesn't want to eat smoked fish anymore.

Back at the camp, light a fire and cook your meal.

Of course, the breakfast is fish, and he chose to steam, which is light and can preserve the original umami of the fish to the greatest extent.

For this purpose, he specially made a wooden board for holding the fish, but fortunately, the box pot is also rectangular, and the size is just right.

Put some wooden sticks in the pot as support, then add water, and finally put the wooden board into the wooden sticks, light the fire to boil out steam, cover the large leaves and wait for steaming.

While waiting, he began to season again.

He didn't bring the steamed fish soy sauce with the steamed fish companion, but he could make a simple version with light soy sauce.

Light soy sauce and a little salt diluted with water are fine, not only simple but also delicious.

It's a simple meal, and it's become the ceiling level of living alone in the wilderness.
