Chapter 12: Lunchtime Barbecue
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
Although she is still young, Cao Yanqiu is a girl after all.
Therefore, when Cao Yanqiu saw Cao Yanchao and suddenly started to undress, she couldn't help but be a little nervous, so she asked loudly.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
At this time, Cao Yanchao remembered that this cold guy turned out to be a little girl, so he had to explain embarrassedly.
"Undress?
Otherwise, if you go down to the river for a while, won't you be drenched all over?
Oh, by the way, you're a girl, so you don't have to go down to the river, you're on the riverbank, just watch my clothes. ”
Originally, Cao Yanchao wanted to strip naked, but now he only took off his clothes, and he was wearing a pair of shorts on his lower body.
After all, there is a girl on the side, and if she strips naked now, wouldn't it be cheaper for some people?
Cao Yanchao would never do such a loss-making business.
So, after putting his clothes away from the riverbank, Cao Yanchao ran towards the moat.
Of course, Cao Yanchao was not dying, nor did he, he jumped directly into the moat to feed the fish.
Regarding the matter of the moat in front of him, he actually heard it from Cao Jiangjun.
Last night, when chatting with Cao Jiangjun, Cao Jiangjun once said that when he passed by the moat, he saw that there were a large number of river fish and all kinds of unknown river fresh products in the moat.
It's just that the villagers of Black Mountain Village don't know how to eat fish, after all, fish bones are also a troublesome thing.
Therefore, they have to choose to ignore their existence for the time being, because in times of danger, river fish can also be used as emergency rations.
However, Cao Jiangjun was a little worried about this matter, because he was worried that one day, these river fish and river fresh food would grow into a new type of demonic beast.
In that case, it's going to be a big deal.
However, it didn't work, because no one believed that river fish would turn into magical beasts.
And it is precisely because of this that no one has ever come to fish in the moat all year round.
This also leads to the fact that in this section of the moat, it is full of river fish and all kinds of unknown river fresh.
Therefore, Cao Yanchao will put the goal of improving food on these river fish and river fresh.
Sure enough, not long after, everything was as Cao Yanchao expected, he just stood barefoot by the river for a while.
It attracted a large school of curious river fish and a variety of unknown river fresh.
And looking at the river, full of river fish, Cao Yanchao didn't wait any longer, he shouted directly.
"You two, be careful, you're about to catch a big fish. ”
And just when Cao Yanqiu and Cao Yandong wondered if they had heard it wrong, a big fish fell in the sky.
Suddenly, the two of them were scared and fled, but after all, they could not escape the fate of being baptized by the river, and they were all drenched in soup.
It turned out that after Cao Yanchao finished shouting, he took a deep breath, and then launched it directly, and the power word in the Nine Realms mantra suddenly felt that his whole body was full of power.
Although it was only a few seconds, in that instant, Cao Yanchao directly mobilized the strength of his whole body and violently lifted a large area of river water.
All of a sudden, all the nearby river water was lifted into the air.
A large pool of water flew in the air, and after a distance, it fell.
The defenseless Cao Yanqiu and Cao Yandong were drenched in a cold heart.
Before, the river fish that were attracted because of curiosity, as well as all kinds of unknown river fresh, were also affected by the pond fish, and they were all carried by the river and came to the river bank together.
Although Cao Yanchao can't tell what the principle is, in his previous life, he often went to play by the river.
That's what I did at the time, but the effect was obviously not as good as it is now, at most it was just a little bit of a wave and a river fish or two.
Therefore, when he saw that the river bank was full of lively river fish, as well as all kinds of unknown river fresh, Cao Yanchao immediately laughed with satisfaction.
"Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha. ”
It's a pity that Cao Yanchao didn't laugh for long, and was rudely interrupted by Cao Yanqiu, who was full of anger.
"Damn it, you kid are smiling? You've got us wet, you're so angry with me, how are you going to compensate us?"
At this time, Cao Yanchao found two people like soup chickens, and he immediately laughed even happier.
"Haha, I'm not, have you been told to be careful of the big fish? Why don't you know how to hide? Now, I have an empty pocket, and I don't have a penny, if you have to ask me to compensate, then I will treat you to a meal, the best river fresh!"
When Cao Yanqiu heard this, she was immediately angry and anxious, and she scolded without a figure.
"You're screaming, what's the use, we don't have time to react.
A large number of river fish flew along with the river, and even if the two of us wanted to dodge, we couldn't dodge.
As for the river fish and river fresh fish you mentioned, they are dirty and smelly, and they taste fishy.
Even the poorest families in the village do not take the initiative to eat fish, and only in times of famine are they used as emergency rations. ”
Cao Yanchao couldn't help but be stunned, although he wasn't the first person to think of being able to eat fish?
But that's nothing.
Because as long as you are a person, you should be able to think that when you are hungry, you can eat fish!
Of course, whether it tastes good or not is a matter of two words.
After all, with the economic conditions of Black Mountain Village, it is indeed a serious shortage of food.
And when people are hungry, they can eat anything, even if the fishy smell is a little stronger, it doesn't matter.
However, Cao Yanchao still said with disdain.
"That's just that, they don't know how to make fish, by the way, Xiaoqiu, you should have salt at home, can you find some over? Wait a while, I'll make you the most delicious lunch in the world?"
Cao Yanqiu's brows couldn't help frowning, after all, Xiaoqiu was her nickname! In the past, only her father and mother had called her that, but Cao Yanchao dared to call her Xiaoqiu now, which made her very uncomfortable.
However, she also knew that Cao Yanchao had actually recognized her, so she called her nickname, but she still said angrily.
"Do you think I'm a fool, huh?"
After finishing speaking, Cao Yanqiu left in a huff.
So, for a while, on the bank of the river, only Cao Yanchao and Cao Yandong were left.
Cao Yanchao shook his head a little embarrassed, and then he said to Cao Yandong as he walked towards the shore.
"Xiao Dongzi, since she is gone, then you can take off all the clothes on your body, if you wear wet clothes, it will be easy to catch a cold. ”
Although Cao Yandong regretted Cao Yanqiu's departure, he didn't plan to leave, after all, he was also a person who had eaten fish, although it wasn't very delicious and the taste was very good, but at least it could fill his stomach, wasn't it?
So, Cao Yandong followed Cao Yanchao's words, and took off the clothes on his body first, until he only wore a pair of shorts, which was finally exactly the same as Cao Yanchao.
And taking advantage of Cao Yandong's undressing, Cao Yanchao first pulled a large handful of fresh grass from the grass, and then went to the river to clean the pulled grass with river water.
After that, Cao Yanchao collected all the river fish and river fresh fish that flew to the bank of the river, and the big river fish were left, and the smaller river fish and river fresh were thrown back into the river.
This is called a sustainability strategy.
Then he used the grass he pulled back to wear some of the big river fish with grass.
A method called the bowfish method is used.
In fact, it is to tie the head and tail of the fish together, so that the gills on one side of the fish are opened to the maximum extent, and then sprinkle a little water.
In this way, the river fish will not die immediately, and it can be guaranteed that these river fish will live for a long time.
Then, these bundled river fish are hung on the wall to defend against foreign enemies
Cao Yanchao, only then did he pick out the six fattest river fish that he had just picked out and twisted them together and came to the river.
First, he used a very sharp stone on the edge to kill all these river fish.
Then, all the internal organs of these river fish were taken out, and the scales on their bodies were also shaved clean.
In the end, all these miscellaneous pieces were thrown into the moat.
All of a sudden, it caused a churning of the river.
It took a long time for the river to calm down.
And when Cao Yanchao, with a proud face, walked from the side of the river to the riverbank.
He was surprised to find that Cao Yandong had already used a large pile of weeds to raise a small fire on the riverbank, and he was also very clever in using the fire on the fire to scorch his already soaked clothes?
Unexpectedly, this thing is still quite smart, right?
So Cao Yanchao also secretly remembered his actions in his heart.
Originally, Cao Yanchao wanted to make sashimi directly, after all, there is no chemical pollution in this world, and the river water is also the most natural groundwater, so river fish can naturally be eaten raw.
But now that there's a fire, let's make charcoal-grilled fish and eat it, right?
Cooked food is always easier to digest, but Cao Yanchao still asked.
"Little Dongzi, how did you start the fire?"
Cao Yandong looked at Cao Yanchao with a strange expression.
It took a long time for him to speak slowly.
"Flint is what adults use to make fires!"
When Cao Yanchao heard this, he couldn't help but become interested, so he continued to ask.
"Can you give me a look at what flint looks like?"
This time, Cao Yandong didn't delay any longer, he took out a black dagger from his calf very happily, and then he handed the hilt to Cao Yanchao.
"This is my father's birthday present, a dagger made of black stone, just hit it with the hilt of its sword, like this big stone picked up from the edge of the river, it will spark, and then put some dry weeds, so that you can make a fire and cook. ”
Cao Yanchao looked at the gravel in his hand with some embarrassment, and then looked at the black stone dagger handed over by Cao Yandong, and then he turned around decisively and threw the gravel in his hand into the moat.
Only then did he reach out and take the black yao stone dagger that Cao Yandong handed over.
"Can you lend me this dagger first? ”
Although Cao Yandong was a little reluctant, he finally nodded and agreed.
Then, Cao Yanchao took a closer look, and found that this black yao stone dagger was actually only a small part, which was made of crystalline black yao stone, and the other parts were made of a large piece of stone.
Such a large piece of Sui Stone just wrapped a small piece of sharp Black Yao Stone, and a large number of ropes were used to firmly fix the Black Yao Stone.
This has become, a rather sharp black dagger, but it can only be used to cut and cut, some ordinary items, if you want to chop the enemy, it is impossible.
Even so, it still made Cao Yanqi a lot of interest, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Xiao Dongzi, did your father exchange a black dagger like this from the shop?
Cao Yandong thought for a while before replying.
"There should be some in those shops, but my father made this one, and he usually works in the shops, so he learned how to make this kind of dagger. ”
Cao Yanchao nodded, he understood that this should be regarded as self-produced and self-sold.
Then, Cao Yanchao looked at the big stone that Cao Yandong brought back, and found that it was a large blue-gray stone slab, which looked very light and thin, although the shape was not very regular, it was like a naturally formed cutting board.
So Cao Yanchao cleaned this big stone slab with river water first, and then carefully cut the river fish on this big stone slab.
I also found some grass that I had just washed and used as a simple plate.
Soon after, a whole delicious river fish was cut by Cao Yanchao using a black dagger, a large plate of sashimi, although there is some unevenness in thickness, there is no major problem.
Then, Cao Yanchao also took the initiative to provoke, and a large piece of sashimi was sent into his mouth.
Sure enough, the sashimi melts in the mouth, and the taste is very delicious, and because it is eaten with fresh river fish, there is no fishy smell when eating.
The only pity is that there is no salt, so there is a little less salty taste on the sashimi.
However, Cao Yanchao still said to Cao Yandong.
"Xiao Dongzi, you can eat this plate of sashimi first, and as for the other river fish, wait until I bake it, and then eat it together."
After finishing speaking, Cao Yanchao handed the plate containing the sashimi to Cao Yandong, and he himself walked towards the rows of reeds by the river.
Then, Cao Yanchao used Cao Yandong's black stone dagger again, harvested wildly, and a large bundle of reed poles, and then turned back triumphantly.
Unexpectedly, when I came back this time, I saw Cao Yanqiu, and I don't know when, I actually came back.
Moreover, she is now eating sashimi on a plate with Cao Yandong, and seeing her eating with relish, it is obvious that she has been conquered by the taste of sashimi.
O woman!
It's really, duplicity!
However, after getting closer, Cao Yanchao was amazed by the actions of the two.
It turned out that Cao Yanqiu was not only a person coming back, but she also changed into a clean and beautiful new clothes, which fascinated Cao Yandong, and Cao Yandong answered whatever she said.
Of course, these are not the main ones, the most important thing is that Cao Yanqiu also brought back, a large piece of mineral salt.
So, the two of them are now gently sticking a corner of the sashimi on top of the mineral salt, using the temperature on the sashimi to slowly melt the mineral salt.
After waiting for a while, I took off the sashimi and swallowed it in one gulp.
The taste is amazing!
Even Cao Yanchao couldn't help but salivate when he saw it.
And, in this way, it is much safer than eating mineral salt directly, at least there is no need to worry about consuming too much salt at one time.
When Cao Yanchao saw this, he immediately became angry.
"You two guys, you're very good at enjoying it, and Xiaoqiu, aren't you already gone? Why did you run back again?"
Unexpectedly, the two of them ate sashimi indifferently, and the two were indifferent to Cao Yanchao's words.
In fact, Cao Yanqiu was also panicked to death, but this time it was Cao Yandong who taught her and asked her to ignore Cao Yanchao, after all, everyone is a friend, and Cao Yanchao can't drive her away.
I have to say that Cao Yandong sees the word "friend" very thoroughly.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak for a long time, Cao Yanchao, who was helpless, didn't have time to deal with the two of them again, after all, time didn't wait for anyone!
The river fish that was just killed is still waiting for Cao Yanchao to roast it.
Cao Yanchao first used fresh reed poles to build a simple tripod, and then used washed grass to make special reinforcements.
After a lot of work, Cao Yanchao transferred the tripod to the top of the fire.
Then, from Cao Yanqiu and Cao Yandong's hands, he snatched their mineral salt, and scraped several fresh river fish several times, even the inside of the stomach of the river fish that had just been killed.
In the end, he hung the few river fish he had just killed on a tripod, and then used the fire and smoke on the fire to slowly roast the river fish.
The other river fish that were not killed on the spot were also taken down by Cao Yanchao from the wall next to them.
After scraping the mineral salt, he was hung back by Cao Yanchao again.
And after being busy, after these things.
Cao Yanchao sat down at this time, eating delicious sashimi while watching the rising fire and the river fish above the fire.
Then, by the way, I chatted with Cao Yanqiu and Cao Yandong.
