Chapter 55
Chapter 55
While Qin Rushuang and Anya were busy, respectively, Zhang Liu was dealing with the stone pit.
The plan he came up with last night was very simple: he would throw a thick layer of weeds over the fallen leaves and then set them on fire.
The next step is to wait.
Finally, the burned and cooled ash is used as a water absorbent to dry and sterilize the cave.
He jumped in and did some simple cleaning, which he expected to be finished in the afternoon and would start preparing the "pit-roasted lamb."
He will succeed in eating a leg of lamb in the evening, and if nothing else, he can take some lamb with him on the road tomorrow.
But it's really just an idea.
In the actual process, Zhang Liu felt annoyed at the first step.
The first is combustion efficiency.
Since there is no air intake at the bottom of the pit, although the grass inside is all picked and dry, it is theoretically very suitable for burning.
But in reality, the combustion is not complete, and even after the outer layer is burned, there is no longer movement at the bottom.
This forced him to stand, watch with a long stick, and remove the layer of ash that blocked oxygen outside to aid the burn.
This can hardly be considered to solve the problem of combustion efficiency.
But a new problem arose again. Underneath the cave hole was a layer of clay and humus about five centimeters deep, and there was still some black liquid inside.
Just poke it with the stick, and the burning grass will come into contact with it.
It just makes a "shishi" sound and then turns off.
The key is that the smoke is still very strong and very dark.
It was smokier than smoked lamb now.
"Cough cough…" Zhang Liu stood beside this; he didn't know how his appearance was affected by the smoke, but he didn't stop coughing.
Meanwhile, the person who didn't stop was still trying to pull the weeds out of the hole.
With Zhang Liu's continuous efforts to add weeds, tinker to increase the combustion efficiency, and cough madly, he was finally burned so badly that he was no longer able to stand next to the stone.
This empty, rocky place left him in a state of embarrassment, and Zhang Liu could only prepare to return to the cave to help Anya. As for the pit, he could only wait for it to cool down before coming over to check on the situation.
However, the combustion efficiency increased significantly.
After the water in the hole evaporated, the yellow and black leaves were unable to escape the fate of becoming combustion aids.
The originally large, thick black smoke gradually became smaller, which is a sign that all the moisture inside had dried up and started to boil.
Before Zhang Liu left, he also followed the adage that more firewood makes the fire brighter and stuffed several handfuls of dry herbs into it.
Prop the wooden stirring stick in the middle to create a passage for air circulation.
At the same time, somewhere on the island, a girl looked at the smoke that had been floating in the sky for a long time and was gradually disappearing with an excited look on her face.
Her appearance and dress were almost identical to those of Qin Rushuang, who was bending down to collect firewood near the cave.
The only difference is the stockings covering her legs; Qin Rushuang's stockings are black stockings.
She has white silk stockings, but they have turned a little yellow with the journey these days.
"I hope a rescue has arrived!" The girl muttered to herself, looked at the forest in front of her, where the howling of wolves could be heard in the night, and gritted her teeth.
She ran out to the beach and started moving in the direction where the smoke was coming from.
Like Zhang Liu's choice, the girl would rather take a long detour through the beach than enter the forest.
......
"Lamb skewers, lamb skewers, three skewers for one dollar!"
Near the cave, Anya was screaming loudly.
Zhang Liu and Shen Rushuang were sitting nearby and laughing.
After getting enough food as a basis, the three people's mental states also improved on several levels.
After laughing, Zhang Liu helplessly looked at Qin Rushuang next to him. Anya's funny behavior at this moment was because of her.
She said she wanted to perform, so Anya volunteered to imitate the "lamb kebab," and the performance was really good.
Qin Rushuang's face turned slightly red. She lowered her head and used a sharp flint to pull a piece of coconut meat from the coconut shell. She picked it up directly and handed it to Zhang Liu's mouth. She said, "Are you hungry?"
"No..." he said, shaking his head helplessly. Zhang Liu didn't know what to say. He just reached out to pick up the coconut meat that Qin Rushuang handed over, then put it in his mouth and chewed it. The taste was still very nice.
However, the three of them ate a lunch packed with protein.
After Anya finished cutting the last three lamb skewers in her hand, she had already started eating.
Three lamb skewers per person, coconut, a large bowl of lamb soup, and two jiabao fruits.
Only from the outside does it look very good and can be considered rich.
But the real taste is not that good...
"It would be nice if there was salt." Anya took a sip of the soup and said with a bitter face, "It tastes very sour..."
Qin Rushuang, who was eating the lamb kebab, looked a little unacceptable after chewing it carefully.
Wild sheep, when cooked by famous chefs, may actually evoke a wild flavor and taste better than regular domestic sheep.
But there is a precondition.
The first is the famous chef.
The second is cooking.
Among Anya, Zhang Liu, and Chen Rushuang, the only two who had connections with famous chefs were Anya and Chen Rushuang.
But they can only sit in a fancy restaurant to eat, and sometimes the chef will come and show them his skills, but that's it.
When it comes to cooking, the three still practice cutting and burning.
They also don't know any spices like wild onion, ginger, or garlic.
Being able to grill meat over a fire is actually pretty cool.
The result is that the wild goat is so wild that the three cannot eat it.
However, the wild lamb had its own unpleasant smell, as Zhang Liu had failed to marinate it beforehand, resulting in blood residue, and the sour and bitter taste remaining in the meat was already noticeable after eating it.
The lamb skewers you have for breakfast in the morning are seasoned with hunger; they're delicious no matter how you eat them.
Among the lamb skewers and soup served as lunch, many ate coconut and jiabao fruit first, with the idea of saving the best for last."
Therefore, Qin Rushuang and Anya began to feel that the taste was not good, but this did not prevent them from putting it in their mouths.
Today's Hunger Seasoning has already ended, but the Hunger Seasoning from the past few days is still there!
They could only fill their stomachs with fruits or seafood; the miserable experience of hunger after a while made the two girls sigh because there were no seasonings and the food was not delicious.
Zhang Liu, who was next to them, had already quickly finished the food and began to look impatiently at the smoke-stained mutton ribs, mutton butt meat, four drumsticks, and several unknown parts of mutton that were cooked on the stove. Hanging rack of meat.
"Hi!" After dividing the remaining two lamb skewers into one skewer, Anya handed them to Zhang Liu and said, "Here you go!"
She saw the desire to eat meat in Zhang Liu's eyes.
Although Anya also longed for meat, thinking about the previous situation where the other party would rather starve than take it from her, she chose to share her meat.
But while handing over the lamb skewers, Anya also said to Qin Rushuang, "I'm already eating less meat. You're not allowed to snatch my lamb legs to eat at night!"
"Okay!" Trying to suppress a smile, Qin Rushuang brought the half-drinking soup to Zhang Liu and said, "Zhang Liu, I feel sick to my stomach. This soup is very tough, so help me eat it."
"Are you feeling nauseous?" Zhang Liu extended his hand to catch Anya's lamb skewers and place them on the shell. Zhang Liu looked at Qin Rushuang nervously.
"It's okay. It might be because I've been eating too much fruit recently and not being able to eat too much meat at once." Qin Rushuang made a casual excuse, put the soup aside, and then began to carefully chew the barbecue.
"Is everything okay?" Zhang Liu still looked at Qin Rushuang anxiously.
In this kind of wilderness, if there was a stomach problem, it would be a big problem.
"Okay, it's okay; I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable." Facing a boy like Zhang Liu, who took everything so seriously, Qin Rushuang felt a little complicated for a while and didn't know what to say.
But she didn't show it on her face but continued to speak calmly, "It should be good to rest after a while. Please help me drink the soup to make me feel better. Otherwise, it would be a shame to leave it. I'll be wasting food!"
"Oh!" He quickly picked up a piece of food that might be intestines from the soup and put it in his mouth to chew. Zhang Liu was about to swallow it when Anya suddenly grabbed his collar.
"My stomach feels uncomfortable now! Help me eat this piece of meat and have fun!" She placed the remaining piece of meat in front of Zhang Liu's mouth and grabbed the other person's collar with one hand. Anya looked at the stunned Qin Rushuang. She gave a threatening look to Zhang Liu, who was also stunned. "Otherwise, I will be unhappy if I waste food!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
