Chapter 106: Nothing can beat a Chinese chef
Martha walked around the beach, chose a place that looked more suitable, cut down a few small trees, tied them to two big trees next to them with ropes, and then put them on branches and spread them with palm leaves, and then made a simple shed.
I looked for dead trees nearby. I was lucky enough to find a piece of them. I found another wooden stick, cut a small tree, tied a rope to make a fire bow, and made some dry palm velvet, and started to drill wood to make fire.
After a lot of hardships, the fire finally rose. Martha couldn't help but cheer. At this moment, she saw a figure holding a spear and carrying a pink big guy on her shoulder.
"Oh my god, you caught such a big fish. We can eat enough tonight. I thought I was going to go hungry."
Martha ran to Jiang Hao and exclaimed as she looked at the fish on his shoulder.
"Choose me, that's right." Jiang Hao said.
"I think so now, by the way, what kind of fish is this? Does it have a name?" Martha asked.
"If I remember correctly, it should be a moonfish."
“It looks so big, how heavy is it?”
"I estimate it's over 40 kilograms."
"Wow, it's enough for us to eat for many days. I feel so lucky to start the game perfectly and don't have to worry about the food." Martha said excitedly.
Martha spread a layer of palm leaves on the ground, Jiang Hao put the big fish on it, and his flat pink body was really big.
Jiang Hao was really lucky. After searching in the sea for a while, he found this big guy, with his flat and wide body wandering leisurely in the sea. He was not afraid after seeing Jiang Hao, and slowly passed by him as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Hao could not miss this opportunity. He stabbed it with one shot. The dagger penetrated his entire body. The moonfish just struggled for a few times and then disappeared. He didn't feel it in the water, but he only realized how heavy this guy was when he arrived on the shore.
"Next, I'm looking forward to what you're talking about, what you're going to do."
Jiang Hao used a knife to cut two pieces of meat on the moonfish, pulled apart the skin, and cut two pieces of meat at the best position, "Taste the taste, it is said that the meat of moonfish is more suitable for sashimi than the meat of salmon."
Martha ate a piece of meat and chewed it twice, "Well, it's really delicious, very fresh, and has a hint of sweetness."
"Moon fish is great for making sashimi. Of course, it can also be steamed, but we don't have the conditions here, so we can't eat too much sashimi. We'd better cook soup or grill it. The rest can be made into dried fish." Jiang Hao said.
Jiang Hao has gained a good harvest, and Martha also wants to show off her achievements, "Look, my shed is set up, we can sleep under tonight, and the fire has risen."
Looking at the low small shack that was even simpler than the melon shed in the village, I really don’t know if the sea breeze at night will blow it away. Jiang Hao smiled and said, “It’s great. It seems that we are an excellent partner.”
"Of course, a great partner."
It is already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and it is impossible to live in the wild. You can't follow the normal schedule. Dinner time must be advanced. When the night comes, you can basically do nothing.
"The biggest problem now is that we don't have tamsui yet," said Martha.
There are many ways to collect fresh water, but those are basically used for emergency purposes, such as seaside floating water, plant stems, solar steam, seawater distillation and other methods. There are only a small amount of them, which are used for emergency treatment and cannot be used as domestic water.
"Forget it, the soup cooking plan was stranded and changed to barbecue fish. As for water, it seems that you can only drink coconut juice." Jiang Hao pointed at the top of his head.
The island is full of coconut trees. Coconuts grow all year round and will never be missing. Coconuts are also the most important item for the island's survival, saving countless people.
Climbing trees is naturally a man's job. Jiang Hao found out the rope, cut off a section of two ends and tied it on his feet. With both hands, the rope under his feet was firmly slammed on the tree, and he quickly climbed to the top of the tree with one rubbed and rubbed it.
Martha cheered under Jiang Hao: "Hao, your method is really great."
Jiang Hao waved his hand to the bottom and twisted the coconut. From time to time, the coconut fell. Martha hid far away. When Jiang Hao came down, Martha came to pick up the coconut. She hugged the coconut and smiled, "It seems that the water problem has been solved."
Grilled fish is naturally Jiang Hao's job. The skills of a top chef are great when you make it casually. Martha couldn't help but applaud.
Eating grilled fish and drinking coconut juice, night fell, the sunset shone on the sea, and sea birds flew by from time to time, and the waves made a gentle sound. Martha was a little fascinated by the sight.
“So beautiful.”
When the sun was completely set, the two of them got into the sleeping bag, lay side by side, chatting, Jiang Hao told her about China, Martha told Jiang Hao about Italy, and finally said good night, and then fell asleep peacefully.
I have to say that Jiang Hao and Martha are a lucky couple. They have plenty of food and coconut juice, while others may not be as lucky as them. Thanks until the night, many people lie down hungry, which will definitely be a difficult night.
Maybe tomorrow will be even harder.
When he woke up the next morning, Jiang Hao ran to relieve his hands according to his previous routine. He held a few split wooden sticks in his hand, and there was a smile on his lips. I wonder how Martha would solve these problems and use leaves?
The two of them ate some of the remaining dried grilled fish from last night. Jiang Hao said: "Today we have two jobs, one is to find water sources, the other is to find a place to settle down, preferably a cave."
It is appropriate to find fresh water. Even if there is coconut juice, it cannot replace fresh water. As for caves, it is naturally to sleep safer.
The two searched for the nearby forests hundreds of meters away, but unfortunately, they did not find Tamsui or cave.
Speaking of which, it is very difficult to encounter caves in the wild. There are not many natural caves and they are not available anywhere.
"It seems that we can only log wood and build a safer place to live." Jiang Hao said.
"I think my shack is good." Martha said, pointing to her masterpiece.
"What if there is a storm?"
"Not necessarily."
"Miss Martha, have you seen the story of the three little pigs?"
"Oh, okay, I'm not a little girl anymore."
The two of them worked very hard to cut down a few small trees with a weight of wrists, fixed them on the big trees, and set them up like a triangular tent, and then covered the tied palm leaves on it, and a sturdy small shack appeared.
"I don't think it's as good as mine." Martha said.
"But he is stronger, isn't he? He won't leak even if it rains, and it won't just be used to block the moonlight." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
It was already afternoon when the two of them settled. Jiang Hao said, "It seems that we can only continue to eat moon fish, and we must make them all dried smoked fish as soon as possible, otherwise they will break down."
"Dried smoked fish, do you know?" Martha asked.
"Of course, this is not a problem for a Chinese chef."
